    Out with the old bleh, in with the new nifty. It's the last and first week of the years. We've got a Fav Albums of 2008 thread running, for people that wanna go all the way back to the beginning of the year. But what're you listening to right now, and what's going to play you into 2009?

    Warren, when he's got two extra seconds, checks the new week's releases at http://www.piccadillyrecords.com on Monday morning - just choose a genre from left and click "magic mix" to stream excerpts from the new releases.

    I usually swing by Largehearted Boy's Try it before you buy it posts on Tuesday mornings, too.

    Commence playlist speakage.

    It's post-Xmas, which means I have created the warm weather music playlist that will see me through the soul-crumpling winter. The tracks are many and varied, so I won't list them all here. But the other albums I'm listening to are:

    Grails - Doomsayer's Holiday
    This Will Destroy You - This Will Destroy You
    Zeke - Kicked In The Teeth
    Dax Riggs - We Sing Of Only Blood Or Love
    Beneath The Massacre - Dystopia
    Murder By Death - Red Of Tooth and Claw
    Steroid Maximus - Ectopia

    I've also been accommodating my lady's request to learn about the sundry joys of face-melting metal, so I've been playing a bunch of the good metal from the last 10 or 15 years.

    Joe, you're among friends. Admit it. Do you ever get the urge to play something soppy and romantic or some heads down no nonsense disco?
  6.  (4592.6)
    i listen to PANIC AT THE DISCO...thats pretty sappy and cheesy? right??
    also,
    PJ HARVEY-is this desire?

    and i can honestly say i dont really listen to anything romantic. the DECEMBRISTS and RADIOHEAD are about as close as i come. sorry!
  7.  (4592.7)
    Hey, each to their own. You're obviously made of sterner stuff than me. I have a broad definition of what's romantic. Currently listening to The Nameless by Slipknot which is definitely a love song and shows what big softies they are under those masks.

    The Decemberists are certainly as romantic as humanly possible. The Bagman's Gambit always makes me weepy.

    it was always "Engine Driver" that got me.

    i've been playing the shit out of my winter mix and listening to lots of golden-age croony rock and surf and stuff while at home with the parents. mostly just watching teevee, though.
  12.  (4592.12)
    into 2009?

    it'll be more of the same. Jazz, Blues, Tom Waits, The Flaming Lips, Country, 1960s...


    in fact, i will be playing a show on New Year's, so quite specifically, The British Columbians and whatever other bands we're playing with that night will play me into 2009.
  13.  (4592.13)
    Last night's show... many golden oldies, I'm afraid.

  17.  (4592.17)
    What do you think of vol 3?
  18.  (4592.18)
    ive liked most of it (and owned it) since it came out. now that new album....ugh.
  19.  (4592.19)
    I like the new album but its definitely a move away from hardcore into more classic rock. More conservative. Less dysfunctional.
  20.  (4592.20)
    Sunn>>>O "The Black One"

    Been annoying the family with this over the holidays by claiming it's truly festive music. But no..they keep asking me to put Heigh Ho silver fucking lining back on again.

    REM " Fables of the Reconstruction"

    No idea why. It's a murky grower of an album,and I liked REM when I had no idea what he was going on about.

    Galaxie 500...everything.

    Because nothing says Christmas more than sherry-fuelled air guitar to my favourite narcotic posters.
