    This is not new, but I'm listening to material available at archive.org's Internet Archive (partly for research reasons) under the 78RPM & Cylinder recording category. http://www.archive.org/details/78rpm


    What I'm listening to as we speak: Gus Reed, Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep (1908)

    The audio section (which includes a Greatful Dead collection, live concerts, radio shows, etc) gets updated pretty regularly. All the files can be embedded.

    I've been playing a lot of 90s era heavy hardcore bands. Back then, the really heavy hardcore bands got ignored by hardcore's "mainstream" (if that term's ever really applicable to the hardcore scene), where you couldn't get attention unless you sounded like either Earth Crisis or Youth Of Today, so they all ended up in the same subset of the scene as the chaotic and "emo" bands of the time (which sounded nothing like the emo bands of today--think Rites Of Spring, not MCR). So there are a lot of bands who simultaneously sound like moshy, metallic hardcore and yet have the feel of angst-ridden, emotional music for depressed teenagers. Since I'm still a depressed teenager at heart regardless of whether I'm over 30 or not, I come back to bands like this a lot.

    Specifically, these are the bands/records I'm talking about:

    Unbroken - Life. Love. Regret./It's Getting Tougher To Say The Right Things
    Disembodied - Diablerie/If God Only Knew The Rest Were Dead/Existence In Suicide
    Groundwork - Today We Will Not Be Invisible Nor Silent
    Ascension - Abomination
    Acme - To Reduce The Choir To One Soloist
    Undertow - At Both Ends
    Coalesce - A Safe Place/"Give Them Rope," She Said
    Converge - Unloved And Weeded Out/Petitioning The Empty Sky
  7.  (5815.7)
    Julianna Barwick - bit obsessed with the ep FLORINE, which is on eMusic.

    Also, Jah Wobble & The Chinese Dub Orchestra, because I've always had a soft spot for old Wobble.

    @andrew

  9.  (5815.9)
    CKY - Carver City... really fucking good.
    Jimmy Eat World - Futures
    The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
    Saxon Shore - Be A Bright Blue and The Exquisite Death Of Saxon Shore
    William Elliott Whitmore - Animals In the Dark

    This week/Month I have been listening to...

    Aesop Rock - Water. One of the better tracks never to be released on a widely available album. Saying that, it's one of the better tracks he's ever done.
    Calexico - Carried to Dust. I love this album. It just puts me in a great mood.
    Flying Lotus - Los Angeles. Great electronica stuff. Makes my head feel wonky.
    The (International) Noise Conspiracy - A New Morning, Changing Weather. I should have gotten into this band years ago. Hindsight is a bitch.
    My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges. - 'Highly Suspicious' makes me laugh. Laugh lots. Out loud.
    Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place. Because I'm spending a lot of money to see them play Sheffield in Sept.

    Last few days have been a mishmash of music that's been on Supernatural, so lots of AC/DC and Zeppelin. Furthermore, I would rank You Shook Me by Led Zeppelin among my top five songs I would like to see a striptease/lapdance performed to.

    that album is a nice middle place between the more rockin/garagey earlier stuff and the afterwards with more motown/soul influence in the jangly poppy rock.

    either way, yes, that band is great. live, ive seen them play huge stages and packed rooms of 100 people with the same command and swagger. dont miss em if you get the chance.

    Trembling Bells " Carbeth" and ( still ) Alasdair Roberts " Spoils" for that British folk thing.

    Almysto ,because I'm trying to remix them , and they're really good. It might end up sounding like British folk though.

    @ Warren I liked one long song on "Millions Living...", and everything else by Tortoise I've not got on with at all.

    I love those.

    Phonogram music: Le Tigre, Los Campesinos!, Long Blonds, Pulp etc.

    Gillen got me on to Kenickie as well. He should have mentioned SOMEWHERE that they were Lauren Laverne's band. I've been in love with her since she headed the drivetime slot on XFM, back when I was 15 and getting into music with guitars.

    Naturally, Kenickie are awesome.

    Nothing new (to me) to report, but ...

    Last week, it was nearly all old and new thrash metal:
    Sodom
    Death Angel
    D.R.I.
    Hellhammer
    Hirax
    Slayer
    Skeletonwitch
    Evile
    Municipal Waste

    So far, this week it's been a bunch of drone and doom since I'm preparing to give a training and, for some reason, I find it soothing to have it reverberating around in my head when I'm trying to concentrate.

    Graves At Sea

    @joe.distort I knew about the Burning Fight show but could not afford to go. Will definitely be purchasing the book as soon as I get paid on Friday, though.

    I think that whole thing is part of what got me listening to those bands, also, though some of it is just the mood I've been in lately. I saw footage of a few of the sets on hate5six.com too, and they were awesome, so that also fired me up a bit.
