I'm guessing nerd prom nixxed the usual start of the thread on Monday so here's a start.
- New week's releases are up at http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/ - just choose a genre from left and click "magic mix" to stream excerpts from the new releases.
- Largeheated Boy's Try it before you buy it is also up
- 14tracks.com is running some funk at the moment
- The Sirens Sound has also been busy this week
So what are you listening to?
Me, I've been trying to cram as much classical stuff from the Proms Festival into one ear and the noise.sludge.doom.caterwaul from Supersonic into the other. Listen again for the former via the BBC Proms site and for the latter via Rhubarb Radio.
I can recommend Saint-Saens Symphony no 3 from one and Nissenenmondai live from the Saturday in the other. They're also on Piccadilly. -

Clint Mansell did that awesome track from the Wrestler soundtrack, too. I'll be checking out those other scores now.
Me, I've been listening to a bunch of dream-pop-electronica, Isan and Boards of Canada and so on. Also reacquainting myself with Martyn Bennett, a musician you definitely should check out. He mixes techno and Scottish folk in just the most sublime way. Poor lad died of cancer a few years back, and I really feel he was cut off in his prime. His three albums I've heard really show a progression, and I feel his next would have been on another level. He was getting too sick to work by the time Grit came out, though, and it's his last. Well worth your time.
Right now, I'm listening to George Thorogood and the Destroyers. -
@Joe.
Is that Atari Teenage Riot EP the one with Raverbashing on it? -

Saw Torche and Harvey Milk on Tuesday night and saw Neko Case last night. Delicious. -

BON IVER: Blood Bank
ANNA JÄRVINEN: Man var bland molnen
CHRIS GARNEAU: Music for Tourists
JOHN FRUSCIANTE: To Record Only Water for Ten Days
KHONNOR: Handwriting
Also, I've been rediscovering New Skin for the Old Ceremony by LEONARD COHEN. Certainly not his best, but it has some real gems. -

@dorkmuffin how was HARVEY MILK? i roadie friend of mine (who sees a SHITload of bands) said they were one of the most intense live bands of the past few years... -

@joe.distort, they were wonderful. I was not as familiar with their discography as with Torche's, but I found myself liking their set just as much. The lead singer is also an adorably soft spoken old dude. I would strongly encourage seeing them. It was, in fact, fucking intense. Lots of delicious doomy sounds and weird rhythms. -

Dinosaur Jr. - Farm
Faith No More - Angeldust
Fantomas - Suspended Animation
Blur - Parklife -
Neko Case? Oh, yeah. Saw her a few years ago with the New Pornographers, and it was almost transcendent.

Lately:
Grinderman - Grinderman
Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the Yard
Goatwhore - Carving Out the Eyes of God
Baroness - Red Album
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
Black Cobra - Feather and Stone
Needed energy that only grimy summer metal could provide.
Also: Hooray for Torche. I haven't gotten to see them live yet, though. -
