that was cool. thanks

I had to track-bump this thread down. I've been listening to a whole lot of Izzle Bizzle and his gang lately.

I have been listening to:

"Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks"

and

"Lonesome Crowded West"


The song "Night on the Sun" is probably my favorite Mouse offering, but they've always been in my top 5 all-time bands (below Radiohead and Zeppelin, but ahead of The Who and Jadakiss)

Wang

The Good Life - Novena on a Nocturn

George Clinton and the PFunk Allstars
Herbie Hancock
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Sly and the Family Stone

and of course.....

Miles Davis

Basically Queen, ACDC, lil bit of Weird Al, Green Day, Journey, GnR, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and of course Pink Floyd.

Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy

might be the best electronica song ever. the video is amazing as well.

let's talk about the killers.

you mean about how they're not good and terribly overrated?

Just listened to some of the new Clipse. It is very, very hot.

Styx. Oh my god they rock!

Mortificus; by Crypticus

ok. i don't mind them.

I don't think they're all that sweet, but I don't have the violent anti-Killers reaction to them that most Hipsters do. I think they suffer from classic Popularity Backlash. "They're getting radioplay AND my little sister likes them? I hate them."

I'll admit they write a pretty catchy single, I just hate the production levels. Seems like a little too much. But for some reason I have a feeling the production is going to be what MK likes about them. Or something.

I've hardly listened to Sam's Town at all.

Bottom Line: I can listen to them, and bob my head to the singles with no self-conciousness, but don't have them on my iPod.

Wang

Yeah, I think you're pretty much spot-on with the popularity backlash thing. I admit that I myself initally shunned them as an overproduced flash in the pan, but after living with those singles off Hot Fuss, I really kind of realized how good some of those songs are. Mr. Brightside is obviously catchy as hell, but I really like 'On Top' and 'Jenny Was a Friend' too. And 'All These Things' is a v v good song. The first album is VERY produced and too calculated for my tastes...Alan Moulder mixed it, so of course it sounds great. I really didn't come around on Hot Fuss until I heard the Jacques LuCont remix of Mr. Brightside, which is probably the best remix ever, imo. It prompted me to revisit the the whole album and give it a fair shake.

I've been listening to Sam's Town a lot the past couple of days, and I think there are a few good songs, but it falls a little short. Like Hot Fuss, Side B is really weak. 'Bling' is a fucking awesome song though. Awesome.

oh and btw, joanna newsom's Ys is the best album of 2006. holy jeez.

Yeah, I don't know much about music, but I like to think I can generally tell the difference between "decent" and "crappy."

I think it's safe to say that "Ys" is superbly, superbly decent. I feel kinda gay listening to a harpist. Which is a bonus.

Wang

converge - no heroes

been in a very hip hop mood lately

mos def
lupe
mobb deep
nas
some real old outkast

and OH MY GOD the new clipse record is fire

yes yes yes

i've been listening to it constantly.

i have absolutely no idea how they got the budget for neptunes.

word on the street these days is that chad and pharrell are commanding upwards of $80-90k PER SONG, plus points. good work if you can get it.

Damn Christmas songs over the office muzak.

ROCK!!

I recently bought the new Korn album. I owned no Korn before this. I've been in a metal mood lately after coming out of a Hip Hop phase.

btw you can get streams of a few tracks off the clipse record here:

http://www.foetus.org/video/Steroid%20Maxi...20Reaction.html (this video include amazing video clips from vintage video games)

enjoy

This thread is most useful. Clipse is "the shit." I've been listening all day. Thanks MK, RonBurgundy, Wang, et cetera.

Yea, the new Clipse record is basically the balls.

Paranoid - Black Sabbath
Lonely Is the Night - Billy Squier
Angie - Rolling Stones
Waitin' for the Bus - ZZ Top
Ah! Leah! - Donnie Iris
Crazy on You - Heart
Better Off Without Yinz - The Clarks
Layla - Eric Clapton
Legs - ZZ Top

Omg fryer, you lisited ZZtop twice. That is the awesome. I feel so close to you now

The new Clipse is, indeed, the hottest shit to drop since Lava reigned on Pompei. My brother called me the day it came out, babbling incoherently about how incredible the beat on "Trill" was. I was skeptical, but ended up calling him back a few hours later, equally incoherent.

Dropkick Murphys
Bad Religion
Guns n Roses' new album
NOFX
Primus

haha, that was the list of the last 9 songs played by the radio station I listen to at work. I didn't even realize that until you pointed it out. The morning show plays songs here and there, so those 2 songs were probably 3 hours apart.

"Let's play cops and robbers; watch Hecklner and Koch turn cops to martyrs" is my new motto. I live by it, kids.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

it's sooooooo HOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

The new Clipse is hot shiiiii.

Haven't they always been associated with the Neptunes? I was under the impression that the Neptunes were, like, basically in the band or something. I'm sure they've been producing most of their stuff before, if not all of it... Someone wanna correct me?

Wang

This is correct. All from the Va Beach area, been associated with each other pretty much from the start.

thats crazy. i can make a better beat than them.

Me too:

Pff-Tss

(repeat)



Hot, no?

On fire, clearly.

We clearly need to put out an album. I've got some fresh-to-death lyrics around that would fit nicely.



I have a lot more where that came from (largly from real rappers, from whom I've board-line ripped several of these off).

I bolded my favorites.

I am very, very, very impressed. If you made any of these up at all, you've got a future. If you learn how to spell "Strunk" I'm sure you could do something awesome. There's a 90% chance I'll steal some of these. There's a 60% chance I'll credit you.

"Hold your moms' hand tight;
You've got no place in a mic fight
Stay in the tomb; no resurrection; you ain't Christ-like" was adapted from a Jedi Mind line, and I flat stole "Lyrical miracle" (from Keith) but the rest is me.

Listening to the new Brand New album.

Next up will be Saturday Night Wrist by the Deftones.

manu chao

its been a while but is still a good listen

MF Doom and Talib Kweli

the song oldschool

Doom is God-like.

MadVillian's Madvilliany is easily my favorite hip-hop album ever. I think like 5 other Doom booms are in my top 10.

My Bloody Valentine- Loveless

For some reason, I just forget about this album for months at a time, but then remember it and get very happy for a week. It's like finding a 10 dollar bill in your hoodie-pouch. Or having Alzheimer's, and "finding out" you married a trophy wife.

Also, still lotsa Clipse. Trill, Trill.

Wang

Some random Roots.

Streetlight Manifesto - A Moment of Silence


yea doom is the nuts

"oweee like a hong kong phooey kick or a weekend afternoon karate movie flick"


Sofa King
and Binzy Box are also great songs by DangerDoon

Still lots of Joanna Newsom's Ys. Monkey vs. Bear is awesome.
