I was recently introduced to "Signal To Noise" off the Peter Gabriel album UP and it's been in constant rotation for two weeks (the director of a production of TITUS ANDRONICUS played it for the cast and design team to give us a sense of the production's world).

I cannot get enough of the two recordings of "Von" off the new Sigur Ros EPs.

Marilyn Manson (SHUT UP HE IS AWESOME) has one good song on EAT ME DRINK ME, which I didn't realize until long after I'd first listened to and then discarded the album. The song is "Heart-Shaped Glasses".

The new Killers odds-and-ends collection is pretty damn decent so far. The song with Lou Reed ("Tranquilize") isn't disappointing!

Haifa Wehbe -- Naughty

Her stuff has a nice, creeping undertone beneath the fun and thumping surface. It's all gloss, but it's gloss that isn't afraid to cut your heart out when it's ready. Unrepentantly shallow, I'd say.

Mind you, I can't understand a word of the language, I'm just going by the music.

Fogus, I discovered Portishead for the first time about a year ago. It's pretty embarrassing, running around talking about this brilliant thing you've just found and being told by everyone that they're old news. I mean, I had heard of Portishead before that, of course, and knew the songs that were on the radio in the 90's, but I never really bothered. I think Beth Gibbons' eyes creeped me out for some reason. I had a similar experience when I actually decided to listen to ten by Pearl Jam in 2002, after nearly a decade of making fun of them, and finding that, "Evenflow" aside, they were really a pretty great rock band. Alas, the peril of being a snob.

This week, I'm homesick for America, and listening to records by my friends.

I thought word balloons on t-shirts would be fun too, but they just turned into self critical attacks("what are you looking at..!!!" is a popular one), bumper stickers, and advertisements. Like the race car jackets now, a few cousins of mine have them, their covered in patches of different brand names and logos, it's an odd kinda corporate camouflage, people dressing to match their enviornments. My mom got me a text shirt a few years ago that said "I have gone to find myself, if I get back before I return, keep me here.", she said it sounded like me, and she was kinda right, ive seen it a few times around, but ive never worn it in public.

I'm actually listening to Dr. Frank's Ask Beth from his 1999 solo album Show Business Is My Life

Frank isn't doing as much music anymore. For shame! But you can keep up with the Jones's by visiting his blog .

What does it say about the state of low-fi punk when Dr. Frank is more famous for writing King Dork (recently picked up by Will Farrell's production company) than 20 years of making music as The Mr. T Experience.

Kind Dork is a good read. And I'm sure Frank is much better off financially as a singer than a song-smith.

Ooooh Infected Mushroom! Nothing like a bit of psychedelic trance to wake you up. My mp3 player has been having a laugh today though. Instead of being stuck on random it appears to have gone into "psychotic break" mode and is giving me such joys as folky protest music next to industrial followed by random pop that Im not even sure how it got on there (feist would you believe) and rounding it out with the prodigy. Hmmmm....

On super-high rotation lately has been the new Dillinger Escape Plan Album, Ire Works.

I finally bought the download of Wax Mannequin's latest album, Orchard & Ire.
He's a small-label Canadian rocker with an odd sensibility. He writes startlingly earnest songs about love, robots, animals, and various other things.

From his bio page on last.fm:

Do you know the painting that you see on some greeting cards where all of the animals are sitting together, stoic and proud in the forest, and there in the background, rising in the sky, it's the earth? You have to ask “why aren't the animals trying to fight and eat each other? They are fucking enemies!” and “why is the earth rising into the sky? If the earth is in the sky, then where the fuck are we?” That shit is Wax Mannequin. Kind of lame... but so important and gripping.

An apt description.

You can download a bunch of his tracks for free at last.fm
http://www.last.fm/music/Wax+Mannequin
I particularly recommend "Tell the Doctor", "Power Blaster", and "The Price".

I've finally converted all my old KLF vinyl to mp3 (which took about three months, between working and pretending to be a proper husband/father, after I promised myself I wouldn't start listening to any of it until I'd finished...).

Space has become my favourite commute album for the morning.

All KLF's weird off shoots too have finally made it from dusty cd to mp3, so I've been blaring 2Ks 'Fuck the Millenium' when the wife and baby are out.

Also managed to get a copy of the soundtrack to the Bill Drummond and Mark Manning/Zodiac Mindwarp book, 'Bad Wisdom.' All the fake Finnish bands and Drummond and Minwarp putting on weird Finnish accents have had me cracking up.

My friends and I have all challenged each other to actually make our definitive Top 20 songs of all time list. Mine is actually shaping up, but I've been having to dig out some old, old stuff to listen to, only to discard it... Need to finish it before end of January, or face some hideous forfeit.

(Last time I lost one of these, I hade to do Karaoke on acid... which was funnier than it should have been...)

I started my commute to the Loop with the new Cocorosie album, which was recommended to me by a friend who usually had impeccable musical taste. It was cute and fun at first, sort of like Bjork mixed with MIA with a little bit of Tom Waits' hell circus thrown in. The honeymoon was over by the fourth track and it merely became precious and really irritating. At work I played my usual soothing workplace soundtrack of Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and the absolutely EXCELLENT (and Uncle Warren recommended) Burial. I went and saw the Chicago Greek mythology themed' metal band Lair of the Minotaur at Reggie's and now i'm listening to Cleansing by Prong on the way gone, a blast from the distant past of middle school. That is my Day of Noise.

Ha! Today at work, the jukebox broke, and I was the only one with CDs on me. Unfortunately, the only customer-friendly (read: not angry German perverts or spastic industrial like Hypnoskull) mix I had on me was the aptly-named (and vaguely embarassing) Spooky Girly Singalong Work Mix. Lots of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Concrete Blonde, Edith Piaf and the duets from Nick Cave's "Murder Ballads." And Alice Donut. Because I love Alice Donut.

At home, presently, I am not* listening to any music, because the roomie is pissed at me for the 7-hour "Suite for 2 Bonobos and Smashing Bedframe" recital I woke her up with last night.

So What Are You Listening To Today?

2007-11-30T21:05:51-08:00

There's a ton* of good Concrete Blonde. I guess Best Ofs and compilations are supposed to be embarassing, but if you want a good cross-section of their career "Recollection" is a good best-of. "Joey" is actually not one of their best songs. But I have to admit that a lot of the reason I like CB is that I'm a heavy smoker who likes to sing along with things, and Johnette Napolitano's voice is just about exactly my range. Complete with Camel Rasp.

Our customer base is pretty varied, and there's Judas Priest on the jukebox (which I actually pay money to play during Sunday brunch when the elderly churchies are in), but Suicide Commando doesn't go over very well with the Friday lunch crowd, which is a lot of "sensitive" artschool types. Who only seem to like songs about necrophilia if they're "ironic."

So What Are You Listening To Today?

2007-11-30T21:31:19-08:00

By 'that one song' I mean "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)" which I only have because it's on all the goth comp cds that float around the scene.
I might have to get some of their other stuff just for a try.

And I'm an artschool type. But I agree most of em are kinda annoying. You should play them some Murderdolls sometime, for decent songs about necrophilia. And Judas Priest is made of win.

And just to continue the point of the thread and not derail tooo much; what just came up on my playlist is the NIN v Bauhaus cover of Warm Leatherette.

Shrift. This is the greatest (and simplest) video I've ever seen, for one of the best things I've heard in the past few years. Shrift is a collaboration between Nina Miranda (of Smoke City) and Dennis Wheatley (an old British conservative, acquaintance of Aleister Crowley and self-proclaimed mystical adept who wore a blue smoking jacket when he was at home, believed in both astral projection and Empire, and used to write novels about black magic in which pretty young women had their clothes torn off and their bums whipped with a birch). (Might be a different Dennis Wheatley.)

"I've never really gotten into Mike Doughty, but he's coming soon. Is he any good live?"

I think he's fantastic live and I've seen every live show I could get to since he was on tour promoting Skittish alone in a rented car. If you ever listened to Soul Coughing you'll recognize the same bizarre but skillfull lyricist who wrote "Circles", "St. Louise is Listening" and "True Dreams of Witchita" but the muscial style is far more minimal as he is often touring alone or with only a few band members.

If you want a better idea of what his new work sounds like live, he has a pretty liberal recording policy for his shows and several of them from the current tour can be found online at places like The Archive.

This weekend at the bar (night) job we mostly listened to the radio because we were too slammed to care about what CD was on. Then of course Sunday, since we're all NFL geeks over there, we listened to NFL on the radio.

But last night we did listen to:

Stankonia - Outkast
Beats, Rhytms, Life - A Tribe Called Quest
Chromeo's album, which I liked a lot more than I probably should have...

Today I'm listening to a free album sanctioned by Jeff Martin of Idaho and available for download on the Idaho archive site:

http://www.slidingpast.com/audio/thedaysmusic.zip

It's incidental music he did for some television show I've never heard of, but the music is great, and mostly in bits and pieces. If you're a Hal Hartley fan you'll know what I mean when I say it's a bit Ned Rifle, but better.

I'm rather liking a band called Morning Bride at the moment. They come from Hackney in London, yet are one of the best Americana artists I've heard in ages. Their album Lea Valley Delta Blues is probably my favourite this year. Their website is http://morningbride.co.uk (I fear I may be turning into their pimp)...

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times

The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-la Band - Born Into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward
Nine Inch Nails - Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D

It took me longer to type that NIN title than it did the full name of Silver Mt. Zion so I think I just lost 3 dork points. Or gained them, not sure which.

Agreed on the album listening. I gave up shuffle play in 1995, so the wee iPuds are especially confounding to me. I love technology, just not the dumbing down of things artistic.

It has a bit of a Fantomas-y vibe to it, but it's less crazy, more structured than that. It's loud and heavy (but not too heavy), interesting and just a little bit crazy.

Now I'm going to have to try and track the album down at a local CD store when I actually have some time away from work that doesn't involve drinking and sleeping.

While on a trip to beautiful Reno, NV with some friends, this starting playing on my buddy's ipod, and I was immediately captivated. It's a collection of 60's French pop. I love it, and I'm not entirely sure why. It's probably because I don't know what they're saying, and to me it amounts to all catchy poppy goodness with no cheese or fromage or whatever.

Other than a large amount of funk and disco that I have been required to brush up on to play at a gig tomorrow (I'm heartily sick of "Instant Replay" by Dan Hartmann), in the last few days I've listened to:

Steely Dan - "Live At The Record Plant '74" (bootleg)
Chicago - "The Very Best Of"
Alice In Chains - "Dirt"
Divine Heresy - "Bleed The Fifth"
Down - "III: Over The Under"
Shadows Fall - "Threads Of Life"
Rush - "Snakes And Arrows"
Fall Out Boy - "Take This To Your Grave"
John Mayer - "Heavier Things"

Those are all that I can remember offhand right now - there's always a record playing unless I'm working or watching a movie, so I've probably missed rather a lot.

Venetian Snares is a 'him' and yeah, easily the best glitch/breakcore/whatever else it's called, out there.
You should check out his latest release Pink + Green, it's only an EP, so it's short, but it's the epitome of the breakcore genre.

For some reason I always go to these threads on a forum first.

Right now I'm listening to lots of The Longcut, Sunchase and Burial's new album.

On the subject of Untrue, I didn't really like it at first - it wasn't really what I was expecting, I guess. But today, I was walking back from the station and the broken "kissing you... tell me how you know, tell me how you know.." vocals over the apocalyptic drone of 'Archangel' came into my head and I haven't been able to stop listening to the album since.

Sunchase is a good complement, I've found. He's a drum & bass man, but the general sound of most of his releases is just an up-tempo version of that of Untrue: that sort of end-of-the-world sadness and doom coasting under a wave of short, sharp drumbeats.

And The Longcut, well. They just happen to be one of my favourite bands. I don't see nearly enough people listening to them, so here's a nice video:

Robb,

The mp3 tags on those files are incorrect. The first file is adjust+in broken key, the 2nd is cutups then everything is right until the doormouse file. Doormouse's set is only the first 30 min or so and after that fishhead starts djing and halfway into the file labeled as fishhead xanopticon starts his set.

Joe.distort,

Yeah doormouse is gabba-kick stuff and has transitioned into more of a cut up woo party style as of late.

P.S. Xanopticon is pretty much the hardest breakcore there is IMHO. Nano-samurai beats cutting carbon chains for sure.

Last Days of Humanity - Putrefaction in Progress. This definitely falls under one of the grindcore subgenres. Quite which, I'm not sure - it's probably deathgrind, cybergrind, goregrind or some bastard mix of the three. Whatever the case, it's ludicrously noisy.

Next up is Guitar Wolf - Rock'n'Roll Etiquette. I believe one YouTube commenter summed these maniacs up nicely - "PUNK AS FUCK".

2007-12-13T12:41:02-08:00

@joe.distort

Wikipedia informs me that they're goregrind, so probably more metal than hardcore. I think.

I'm not entirely sure where the distinction lies - would I be close in thinking that early Napalm Death is hardcore grind whereas early Carcass is metal grind?

So What Are You Listening To Today?

2007-12-13T12:50:48-08:00

More to do with lyrical content than significant musical distinction, IMO. TBH, the lines between these things are far too blurry. LDOH are indeed a goregrind band, but so were Carcass in the "Reek..." era, based on the medical-textbook-lyrics and pitchshifted vocals. I think that owning a pitchshifter is a silly thing to put a band in one genre rather than another, personally. Early Napalm - pre-Scott Burns - I would just call plain old grindcore.

Today I've listened to:

Cry Of Love - "Diamonds and Debris" Rawk.

The Fall Of Troy - "Manipulator"

Shadows Fall - "Threads of Life" Frash, innit.

fall of troy is ok recorded, but live they just played fooooreeeeeverrrrrrrr the time i saw them. ironic, since immediately after them AN ALBATROSS played like 20 minutes of crazed emoviolence.

and yeah, the lines of grind kinda fall under personal opinion. i would say some of the differences would be diy touring, lyrics that arent gore/porno related, and screamed/shouted vocals rather than cookie monster growls are my main factors for determining the more punk side of grind. but i'm also a snob. thats not even getting into the money oriented corporate grind of HEWHOCORRUPTS, INC (who are amazing, and not seriously corporate at all. tongue in cheek songs about maximizing profits and such. youtube their video for "master of profits" and you will crack the hell up)

Goregrind? Good god. Metal subgenre wankery is second only to electronica subgenre wankery. Or is it the other way round?

So What Are You Listening To Today?

2007-12-17T18:10:13-08:00

uh, with grind ALONE there's about ten or so subgenres. it is kind of dumb, but it becomes necessary when there are splinters of a genre that are so very different. example: if you hate cookie monster vocals and songs about stabbing, goregrind isnt for you (in this case, me). with electronica, the same thing is true with the exception of some subgenres that seem to have two or three names for the same thing.

today i just scored a fucking sweet "its a small world after all" picture disc 7" for 50 cents. awesometown!

Just got HypnoSkull's "Panik Mekanik," so it's been crackhead-speed breakbeats for the last couple of days. I love them because they're silly, and also because I get a kick out of people who try to see how fast you can set a drum machine before it just blurs into a farting noise. They fill the same gap in my spazzy little musical soul as Melt Banana, I think. And I'm pretty sure if you listened to it long enough, you'd get a bitchin' case of tachycardia.

As far as micro-micro-anal-subgenre-izing goes, it's been around for years, but Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music is totally amusing. I can get lost in it for hours. It's a flash-driven ungodly huge flow chart of pretty much every kind of subgenre of electronic music, ever*. With samples. Everything from the Ghetto Boys to Gabbercore to freakin' Enya-type new age crap. The blurbs are hilarious**. "There are no drugs that would ever make you want to dance this fast."

For the curious...

Listening to A Hawk And A Hacksaw's album The Way The Wind Blows.

Fun gypsy music with some klezmer influences.
I solidly enjoyed them when they were playing live and I was deeply drunk, so I've grabbed the album off emusic to see how I like them now.
The main people are Jeremy Barnes (drummer from Neutral Milk Hotel) and Heather Trost (violinist who used to play for foma) but they seem to hook up with lots of other people.

The album I grabbed (and that I'm liking so far) has them in Romania playing with Fanfare Ciocarlia and is definitely reminiscent of what I heard live.
Sets my shoulders to auto-shimmy and before I know it my whole body gets involved. If nothing else at all, it is definitely the sort of music to trick me into shaking it when I'm up far too early in the morning.
We'll see what I think when I'm all the way through the album I guess.
But live! With drinking! I completely and totally recommend without any reservation at all!
YES!
