Whatever, I'll take the musical genius that is Mambo #5 over 3 great songs any day. And that includes songs by Bryan Adams.

right now im listening to a radiohead mix i made of all unreleased stuff:

Rabbit in Your Headlights (Reverse Light Massive Attack Remix)
True Love Waits
Polyethylene
Rhinestone Cowboy (Cover)
Creep (acoustic)
Talk Show Host
Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
Pearly
Coke Babies
I Froze Up
Alligators in New York Sewers
Blowout
How I Made My Millions
Thinking About You
Banana Co. (Acoustic)
Big Ideas
Palo Alto
Melatonin
I've Seen It All

ac/dc back and black

david allen coe uncensored

i play a bit of everything, but i played guitar and fucked with stuff on my laptop in L'Spaerow.

That's funny, because I have almost the exact same mix in my car. I think Polyethylene and Pearly are both the sweetness.

I have "Reckoner" instead of "I've seen it all" and "This Mess We're In" (with PJ Harvey) instead of Banana Co. (I hate that song).

Wang

I've been playing the song "Starry Eyed Surprise" (Paul Oakenfold) a ton.

Today was a weirdo music day for me.

I listened to:

Edan- Beauty in the Beat

The Dismemberment Plan- Is Terrified

Coldplay- Parachutes

Weezer- Pinkerton

and

Jay Z- The Blueprint


2 rap CDs, a weirdo punk CD, then Weezer and Coldplay.

I'm super typical/atypical.

ive seen it all is with bjork, its okay. and i like banana co although it is one of their more simplistic songs. i dont have either of your 2. ill have to get on that.

p.s. im gonna dl a bunch of music off this thread as soon as i get some space on the laptop. family guy episodes alone are taking up 6+GB

Hilary Duff - Come Clean

KDawg, great call on Steely Dan. They are one of my favorite bands. Katy Lied, Countdown to Ecstacy, Aja, and Pretzel Logic are all fantastic albums.

Not a bad list there, even though I'm not really a Coldplay fan......good call on Pinkerton. El Scorcho is still Weezer's best song.

Here's some more random albums I would recommend, if anyone is interested:

Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
Paul Butterfield Blues Band - Paul Butterfield Blues Band
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst
XTC - Skylarking
Richie Hawtin - Decks, EFX & 909
The Eels - Beautiful Freak
Rapture - Out of the Races & Onto the Tracks EP
Air - Moon Safari

You're my hero.


Right now I'm listening to some hardcore Mahler. Mahler is the man.

Oh man, Reckoner's a great song. The word "rollicking" is the best I can use to describe it. I have a soft spot for PJ Harvey already, and anybody who adds Thom Yorke = better than before.

I take we've all seen the video for Rabbit in Your Headlights (U.N.K.L.E., Thom Yorke on vocals)? It's a great video.

I'd also suggest you listen to the Thom Yorke/Sparklehorse version of "Wish You Were Here" if you haven't already. It's awesome, as is the Posies/Yorke "cover" of Blowout.

Also, John Maher does a good (I'm serious) cover of "Kid A" that I like.

Breon-

I really really thought Coldplay's first album was fantastic, and I even enjoyed their second cut (and their B-sides release was decent, too). X&Y was horrible, but Coldplay's just a solid soft-rock band. Chris Martin always says in interviews, "We wish we were as good as Radiohead, but we aren't, so we don't try doing too much."

Also, good call on Dr Octagonecologyst. Kool Keith is sweet.

Wang

Paul Anka: Rock Swings.

That is a great song.

The new O.A.R. cd is great. I've been listening to that and the new Hot Hot Heat Cd. Also the new All American Rejects cd is catchy enough to have me listening to it.

You have earned my respect (don't even pretend that wasn't your goal in posting that, because no one else here knows who Edan is.)

You want to bet on that.

I apologize, I was being euphemistic. It's hard to live in Dallas and remember that I am not the only person who listens to rap sometimes.

Haha.

i know who edan is also!!!!

i've been listening to some eminem and springsteen today

Oh man, Eminem and Springsteen. What an awesomely sweet combo.

I've put off listening to Animal Collective's "Feels" a lot until today, because I thought Sung Tongs was almost perfect.

So I think today I might give it a whirl. Also, I woke up this morning (330PM) with the dire and insatiable need for The Dismemberment Plan.

I think the lineup's gonna be something like this:

Dismemberment Plan- Change
Animal Collective- Feels
Dismemberment Plan- Emergency & I
???????????

Wang

Today is a BNL day for me. Rock Show is an amazing album.

Black Keys- Thickfreakness
The Unicorns- Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Gorillaz- Gorillaz

thats a nice spectrum you may choose from.

CYHSY has been constantly in the background since it came out. I haven't listened to the Gorillaz in a while, but whenever I'm at my parents' house, my brother is listening to them.

I've never listened to the Black Keys. Newness is desirable, so perhaps I'll give them a try.

And for now, I'll be listening to "Talahassee" by the Mountain Goats. Oh, and The Futureheads.

Wang

black keys is basically simplistic blues rock, just done really really well.


EDIT: tracks to check out. "set you free", "the lengths", "till i get my way", "midnight in her eyes", "hurt like mine"

Dubitty Dub Dub post.

I'm 3 songs into the CD since my last post, and it's really good. It reminds me of George Thorogood, a little. Pretty simple blues riffs. Not hi-fi or lo-fi. I think I'm going to put on sunglasses, put this in the ole' '97 Lumina (maroon, maroon interior, recently purchased with 55K miles on it), and be cooler than everyone I see/everyone that snickers at me.

Thanks,

Wang

PS- Have you downloaded Reckoner yet?

its in the process of being downloaded. the funny thing about the black keys is that the band consists of the 2 whitest men you will ever see in your life. google image search them and let the laughter ensue.

Haha, done and done. when you reccomended them, I randomly connected to a Village Voice review so I knew what to expect while it was DLing, and saw these two skinny dorks with glasses/beards.

Heroes.

I'm surprised you have never listened to the Black Keys, Wang. They are a pretty good band. I have a few live shows of theirs on my computer, so if you ever feel like trading, hit me up.

I as well have heard of Edan before. I didn't know that they were some big secret.

Love the Radiohead B-sides discussion. I think I have every Radiohead song ever recorded, nice to hear some other people enjoy them as well.

The playlist for today:

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Dispatch - Silent Steeples
Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes
The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation


Is there really any point for me listing these albums? Does anyone even pay attention to them? Should I stop?

This has become a 2-4 way dialogue, with occassional interjections from some randoms. I like it, though, so I'm not letting it die.

Yeah, I'm not sure how the Black Keys slipped under the radar, but I'm glad stuff like that happens from time to time.

Man, I fucking hate Dispatch. It might be irrational, but if I hear a Dispatch song that I recognize somewhere, I get intensely furious, and demand it be changed. If it's not changed, I usually try to pee on someone nearby. Yes; I am an infant.

Alright, Breon/Burgundy/BigKg/whomever:

What are your favorite Radiohead B-sides? I'm curious. You could put 10 diehard Radiohead fans in the same room, and get 10 completely different lists.

Wang

true love waits
how i made my millions
rabbit in your headlights
polyethylene
alligators in new york sewers
big ideas


the order changes, but id say thats my top 6 just off my head. thinking about you, talk show host aren't too far behind.

I'm a loser, I got into Johnny Cash because of the movie!

I never knew Hurt was his song and remade by Nine Inch Nails..





who knew?

I'll toss my top 5 out, and think and repost tomorrow:

How I Made My Millions
Pearly
Permanent Daylight
Reckoner (Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses)
Talkshow Host

The bolded choices are the only ones set in stone.

Wang

I don't mind Dispatch so much....I know there's not a whole lot to it , but in college I could always manage to get Dispatch on over DMB or O.A.R., so I took it every time.

Favorite Radiohead B-Sides:

Talk Show Host
Fog (Alligators in New York Sewers)
Killer Cars
Maquiladora
Gagging Order
Permanent Daylight
Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
Bishop's Robes
Meeting in the Aisle
and I got a sweet spot for How Can You Be Sure

To go back to the albums I listed earlier, does anyone here ever listen to King Crimson? Robert Fripp is a genius, and the band never gets any credit. They were probably the best progressive rock band of the `70s (not counting Pink Floyd)....

And Music for the Jilted Generation by The Prodigy is one of my favorite albums of all-time. There, I said it. I remember rocking out to it in 8th grade....

I have a few King Crimson songs on my computer, but I've rarely listened to them. My ONE music-loving-friend has told me repeatedly to give them a whirl when I get the chance, but I always forget.

I logged on for the SOLE purpose of posting in this thread, and getting it back on the front page, where it belongs. I decided tomorrow is "Early-Nineties Major Label" Day.

First off, I'm getting up at a reasonable "slacker" hour (Noon, as opposed to 3, which is just ludicrous), as a tribute to twenty-somethings everywhere.

Secondly, I'm wearing corduroys and a flanner shirt, and my red "Rage Against the Machine" t-shirt underneat.

Thirdly, I'm going to Starbucks, to pay homage to Seattle.

Then, I'm gonna listen to Corduroy (from Pearl Jam's fantastic "Vitology."

Then, I'm gonna watch Terminator II, and maybe Kindergarten Cop.

But THEN I'm gonna rock out all day to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Rage, and there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.

Then I'm gonna put on some Weird-Al, just to spice things up, and keep myself off balance. I won't be expecting it.

Finally, I'm probably going to play the underoo-accordion while thinking nasty thoughts about Cindy Crawford.


Ah, my youth.

Wang

Give King Crimson a chance. They are a great band. Listen to "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "In the Court of the Crimson King" when you get the chance....I only wish I could wake up at noon, but instead here I am at 7:00 a.m., which is now considered sleeping in for me. Starbucks? That place is the devil. Don't waste your time there......very nice call on Corduroy though, one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs. If you are going to rock out to those bands, be sure to throw some Alice in Chains in the mix as well.

Here are my top 5, I think (no order):

Talk Show Host
Gagging Order
Fog
Lozenge of Love
True Love Waits (I don't know if this counts as a b-side technically, but I'll include it anyway since seeing it played live changed my life)

I've been on a big Uriah Heep and Stones Lovin Cup kick the past day

I always just shuffle my entire i pod

it just played Elvis Costello Hand in Hand

If you like old King Crimson I recommend the album Red

Anyone ever heard of the Raspberries = here's some sacrilege i think they are better than big star

i am currently trying to avoid working on a correspondence class and in doing so listening to

Muse-Absolution
then maybe slowing it down with some Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Van Morrison.

Peter Frampton - Do you feel like I do (live)

best. guitar. ever. period.

listening to some Clifford Brown & Max Roach.

Red is an excellent album. Wasn't the Raspberries the band with Eric Carmen, the dude who sang "Hungry Eyes" in the 80s?

Album of the Day: My Bloody Valentine - Loveless. I know it has been mentioned on this thread before, but it is such a great album. Give it a listen if you haven't already.

Dave Matthews Band - Before These Crowded Streets

Any one ever listen to 10 years?

A couple of my friends referred them to me...I'm going to listen to their album tomorrow.

Are they any good?

Wow Koop...


Just say that you drink Coronas and restore Corvettes...



listening to Who made Who, drinkin, and setting up progressive linkage on 3x2 carbs right now...
