Remain In Light is definately my personal favorite.

The new Ghostface. It's phenomenal.

Phenomenal you say? I have heard good things about it, but haven't gotten around to getting it.

If you already like Ghost, then you'll love it. He's still crazy. When you manage to work David Koresh, Flava Flav, and a hysterectomy into a song, it's gotta be good.

Personally I'm looking forward to the Doom-Ghost collaboration.

I asuume you mean MF Doom, and I have not heard about this. What the ****? Why haven't I heard about this? holy ****, this will kick ***.

Hook a brotha up. I've been looking for it, no luck so far.



This fall, man.

Ghost-Doom

What'd you think of Danger Doom?

I liked it a lot.

Basically, MF Doom is amazing.

Pretty much. I can't pick a favorite off the album, although the ones with Ghost and Kweli rocked.

I haven't heard much lately that's inspired me. I'm not a huge Ghost fan so I'm a bit biased. That said, Fishscale is a good record.

The most recent Smif n Wessun was underwhelming, that disappointed me.

I mostly just bang mixtapes these days. And watch out for the new Clipse record. They are back strong.

word to mixtapes being the only interesting thing in hip-hop right now.

i been listening to van morrison lately, on a non hip-hop note.

The best of John Williams

haha john williams is good stuff. i think ill put on the olympic theme, that always gets me pumped up.

Also Aarons Copelands Fanfare for the Common Man

some beck, some b.b. king, and some barry white.

too lazy to move cursor away from B's.

sticking with the B's

Ben Folds-Ben Folds Live
Bloc Party-Silent Alarm
and a Bob Marley mix i made

Morrissey - Ringleader of the Tormentors

A really weird mix CD that the Ex left here. It includes some Garbage (Version 2.0 mostly), Audioslave and Modest Mouse, mainly. Odd, but, refreshing.

young jeezy fools

i think hes the best rapper today. CHYEA!!!

any of you heard the Return to the Sea album by Islands? my freind just recomended it to me. its pretty cool, you never really know whats coming next in their songs. plus my man Busdriver is in one of the songs.

M83- Dead Cities, Red Seas, and Lost Ghosts

i just downloaded their more recent album a few days ago. seems ok so far, but i havent been in the mood for that type of music lately.

A trance remix of Hard to say I'm Sorry - there wasn't much on the radio

The Flaming Lips- At War With The Mystics

Their new album, it's pretty good.

I don't know if I like it better than Yoshimi or not.

Now I'm on Pandora.....it PWNS

oh good call. i forgot this was out.

Queen- Greatest hits

alright im lookin for some honest reviews of my little project by some of the music heads on this site. its electronica, so if that intrests you check it out please and tell me how it is. you really have to download the songs to hear them in regular sound quality.

here it is

T.I.---WHAT YOU KNOW

Daft Punk - One More Time

Once again - there was little choice on the radio

I was actually hoping this would be a link to that MAD thing you had, which I actually enjoyed.

Anyways, I'm no expert on electronic music, but I do listen to it. I liked this, unfortunately I don't really have anything more to say than that I like it.

i think its time for another radiohead phase

currently-amnesiac

What's up, bitches?

The Shimmering Wang has been very VERY busy lately, and using a communal computer because my shorted out. I completely forgot my password to this place, but had a dream last night in which I totally remembered it. It was a random, 10 character series of letters, numbers, and symbols, but my brain finally proved it's worth last night, even after 30 million beers.

Anyway, I've been listening to:

The Islands (the new Unicorns band, minus guitarist, I think)- Return to the Sea

The new Ghostface Killah disc (Fishscale) which is awesome. Ghostface is awesome, so I've been alternating between Fishscale and Supreme Clientele

The Flaming Lips- At War with the Mystics I totally love the FLaming Lips, and even though this isn't an incredibly sweet album, I still enjoy it.

Built to Spill's new disc. I tracked down all the songs, even though it's not officially released for a few days, yet. I reccomend buying it, because it is awesome. Built to Spill is awesome. I am awesome.

Love is All- 9 times that same song... finally got released over here, so I went and bought it. Sweeeeeet.

Band of Horses- Everything all of the Time. it's alright. Some friends reccomended, so I've been giving it a shot.



Anyway, I love and miss you all.

Hugs and Kisses,

Shimmering Wang

PS- Bitches and hoes that live near Kzoo, I promise I'll get ahold of y'all bitches soon and try to organize a trip to Soaring Eagle. I'm pretty sure I'm just talking to mBreon, but I'm loathe to forget anyone.

PPS- Tigers, 5-1. Wildcard. At least Koop's Royals put up some relatively stiff resistance. ******...

PPPS- Oh man, a couple nights ago I blacked out, and regained conciousness at 530AM inside of a trashcan, 9 blocks from my house. It was raining. I was cold. I also found a pint of whiskey in my coat pocket, so I finished that off before emerging from the trash can to warm up. I rule

just to clarify:

I Wang

also, I miss you

this forum just is no where near as entertaining without you, tho i have to say beans has started to pick up the slack

stop by the hideout please!

i had heard a lot about the new pornographers cd twin cinema, but had only heard the title song, which i didnt like, so i refused to get it. i finally gave in and im glad i did.

p.s. still dont like the song twin cinema though

p.p.s. now getting the islands cd. thanks wang.

funny excerpt from pitchfork article about the unicorns

Diamonds himself has described the new group's music as "F-14 Tomcat blah, blah," which we're told by Aronow is "French Canadian slang for fiery, shiny, and shimmering madcap pop." Obviously.

dude is insane

The ride over here tonight was a bit better on the radio

Express yourself - NWA

Sorry, but I don't like posting in stickied threads. I might stop in and say hello, but I'd feel out of place.

Wang

allright w/e

we still love you

I have only listened to a little of the Ghostface album, I like what I have heard.

I like the new Lips album, not as much as The Soft Bulletin or Yoshimi, but I still like it.

I can't ****ing wait for the new Built To Spill album, I ****ing love them.

That is all, good to have you back.

Pearl Jam - No Code

Don't it make you smile?

I'm listening to a iPod combo of Yield and Vitology right now.

Next up on the playlist: More Ghostface (Yeah... you see what I mean? You see what I mean you motherfucking crybabies? Get in line, punk!)

Then, I think I'm going to listen to the new Lips album some more.


Wang

never heard of built to spill, ill check them out though.

edit: they're pretty damn good so far

They were kind of the band that started the American Northwest Indie-rock thing.

If I were you, I'd start with the album "Keep it Like a Secret." Every song is great, but I'd reccomend "Time Trap" "You Were Right" and "Broken Chairs."

After that, move on to "Perfect from Now on." In my opinion, the standout tracks from that CD are "I Would Hurt a Fly" and "Velvet Waltz."

The album "Ancient Melodies of the Future" is great, too, but most Built to Spill fans consider it a mild disappointment when compared to the former two albums. I still think it's an awesome CD, though. Superawesome megasweet songs include "Strange" "In Your Mind" "Happiness" and "The Weather."


I'm a superdork, but I absolutely cannot resist the temptation to espouse the greatness of Built to Spill. Give them a chance, and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Wang

PS- I'm currently listening to Guided by Voices, which everyone who has read my former posts knows is one of my all-time favorite and all-time underrated bands. A must for fans of pop rock, catchy hooks, and great song ideas.



Which songs have you listened to and enjoyed?? (sorry, but I'm a dork)

i actually randomly started with Keep it like a secret. i pretty much like every song ive heard so far, especially The Plan. listening to Time Trap right now. ill go in the order you said and get back to you after i get some more time to listen to them.

i wasnt expecting them to be such a rockin guitar band

They're kind of a weird cross between a pop band, a guitar driven classic rock band, and a jam band. Their live stuff is great, too. If you've got the patience (or summa 'dat WEED in ya'), listen to the live version of Broken chairs, from the aptly titled CD "Live."

I'm gonna be checking back regularly, so let me know what you think, kid.

Wang

New Red Hot Chili Pepper's song: Dani California.

- Jordan

Perfect From Now On is probably in my top 25 albums ever.

I'm listening to that right now.

Also, check out their album There's Nothing Wrong With Love. Wang didn't mention, but it's great, too.

If you guys want to hear a new band that msot people have not heard of yet that will be big in the next few years, check these guys. You can hear clips of and/or order their record here:

Blend - Deadlines

Kind of like radiohead in a head on collision with a jam band full of guys that can actually play. You'll dig it. I stumbled across this record while buying some jazz stuff, and I dismiss most any pop/rock stuff immediatly (except for good stuff like Radiohead, Prince, and some others), but I really like this record.
