Currently listening to the new Social Distortion album. The band has long since become something far afield of punk, but this new album is growing on me (like the last one did, and the one before that, and...) Mike Ness certainly wears his influences on his sleeve. The best song on the album is probably the cover of Hank Sr's "Alone & Forsaken."
Currently digging: Anna Calvi's self titled debut Astronautalis(thanks to this thread for turning me on to him!) On Volcano The peirces The Phantom Band Pete and the Pirates
still near and dear to my heart: The Like A Fine Frenzy The Suzan Laura Marling

@Texture I had heard the name but not any music,that tune is alright though. Listening to Matthew Dear - Black City,he is playing at Bloc along with like 20+ other acts I badly want to see and know I won't get to due to clashes. The problem with having everything you want in one place. Next up is Flying Lotus' takeover of Benji Bs' Radio 1 Show and I am trying to get the Cosmogramma - Alternative Takes which is proving a tad awkward,so far I am just waving a CD around like a twat with no discernible effect,
This morning I have been listening to the Ninja Tune XX Double Box Set,really excellent compilation. There are almost 60 tracks on it in total of which I skip about 3. Recently been listening to a lot more stuff on CD as opposed to MP3 I seem to skip about less this way.
I've had precious little time to listen to or even think about music lately, but here's last Sunday's radio adventure...

I've been listening to Animals as Masters, whom I discovered while browsing the Internet looking for good things to listen to. I think it might have been Whitechapel, actually. If so, thank you to whoever posted the YouTube video I saw, 'cause it was awesome.
Also been getting into Om and Big Business, a little. Don't own anything by either one yet, though.
the new British Sea Power (not bad, if a bit too Hold-Steady-ish for me), the new Mogwai (friggin' atrocious), and lots of Bardo Pond. and this Phantogram song, "Futuristic Casket," over and over again. also i've been singing songs from Entrance's The Kingdom of Heaven Must Be Taken By Storm, but that's hardly news.
@allana, the new Mogwai is "friggin' atrocious"? How so? I was considering getting it until now. I wasn't very impressed with Hawk Is Howling, just seemed like they were just slogging through the same old shit with absolutely no passion. It's a shame because I thought Mr Beast was bloody wonderful.
@keyofsilence, i mostly miss their "Waltz for Aidan" and "Superheroes of BMX" days, so i'm maybe not the most reliable of sources. but i think they sound like a middle-schooler garage band now.
