He got swung on, his lungs was torn

The kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn

A regular on the block, and played look-out

For playing predator with a glock, he should have took out

Hey, thanks man. The second half wasn't working when I tried earlier, but I'll try again. I owe you one, Dutch.


Wang

Ooooh. I love me some Mahler.

Just heard 'Empty Walls' Serj Tankian's first single from his debut album, it sounds damn good, gonna be a must for any hardcore SOAD fan. The video is awesome for it too.

Anyone listen to Atmosphere? I only heard of them the other day when someone gave me Lucy Ford. Wow. I don't usually connect emotionally with a hip-hop album, but after this I can almost see why some kids like EMO so much. I hate to make this comparison because "EMO hip-hop" isn't going to draw any of you in, but there's something so sad and sarcastic and depressed about the whole thing.

I also can't name too many hip-hop records that work so well as an album. I'm really in love with this record.

I think Serj Tankian has got loads of musical talent and backrounds. I'll check it out, hopefully the album is sweet as well.

Huge Atmosphere fan. I'm pretty sure there at least a couple of others here that are too.

right on. i do like the fact that their music is sort of goofy, and don't get me wrong; it isn't structure i'm looking for. i listen to a lot of stuff that's really, really out and minimal, like people who record their cat sleeping and manipulate it lol. and most of my favorite bands of all time are the bands whose music exists on the fringes of pop music (which animal collective's certainly does)...again I just think their stuff is too cluttered to be memorable.

side note: i want to open a record store in chicago and name it championship vinyl and hire all the regular posters in this thread to sit around and talk about music all day.

You know what I want to talk about? The new Radiohead. I think I'm just going to buy a whole pound of weed. A whole pound. I'm going to lock myself in my room, fire up my record player -- I do have one, by the way -- and listen to the new Radiohead on vinyl for 2 weeks straight. I don't even really like smoking.


Wang

People laughed me when I kept my grandmother's turntable. My girlfriend at the time, mostly. Who's laughing now, you soggy-boxed harlot?

(I'm hard right now.)

Wow, what a huge day (I'm still up, so count it, bitch); the new Sunset Rubdown is posssibly my favorite record this year.

Hey, Wang, did part two of that download end up working? If so: thoughts?

so whats the deal with the new radiohead? is it out yet?

see the In Rainbows thread

Well, no, they just announced it. We just learned that it existed yesterday, so you're going to have to wait a while to get it.

You can get it in a bit over a week.

Oh, right, there exists other music too.

I really want to get this. I love Wolf Parade and the first Sunset Rubdown album. I'll have to pick this one up sometime today. Actually, there's a bunch of new music that just came out that is supposed to be good. Maybe I'll go on a shopping spree.

Basically The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, HTTT, and all their EP's until In Rainbows comes out

I haven't taken out HTTT of my cars cd player since about 6:30 Friday morning. still not tired of it.

If anybody wants me to, I've been giving thought to putting together a few Radiohead B-sides compilations in anticipation of R-Day (Rainbow Day or Radiohead Day: Oct. 10, 2007). I might just burn like 20 copies and mail them out to my friends. They'll surely include older versions of songs that are going to be on the new album, like Nude and Reckoner, and Up On the Ladder and Last Flowers. I've made a few compilations before, but I've never put together the perfect one. It's incredibly difficult, considering the sheer volume of material.

Like most of the rest of you are likely doing, I'll probably be listening to a lot of Radiohead over the next Week+. I wanted to jam the new Sunset Rubdown CD, but I haven't been able to find time yet. My iPod seems to be stuck on The Bends right now.

Wang

Obviously I'm stoked about the Radiohead news. I haven't decided if I'm going to get the discbox yet, but I'm leaning towards doing so.

hahahahaha i really just did call my dealer for precisely this reason. granted, it wasn't a pound, but the sentiment was shared.

i have a v v sweet self-made 3-disc B-side collection.

While discussing Radiohead b-sides... what's everybody's favorite?

If we count contributions to soundtracks/compilations, I have to go with Talk Show Host. They performed it when I saw them back in 03, and it was spectacular.

Track list?

ooh that would take a lot of effort...pretty sure it's just every B-side.

Off the top of my head, my favorite Radiohead B-sides are:

How I Made My Millions

True Love Waits

Talk Show Host (from Street Spirit, not the one on Romeo and Juliet)

Polyethelene

Big Ideas Don't Get Any (aka Nude)

Reckoner

Amazing Sounds of Orgy




I have like a million favorites, but that list is probably my top 7, in order. The top 3 are all basically tied, though.


Wang

yeah i like a bunch of the older ones like killer cars, maquiladora, how can u be sure, polyethylene, meeting in the aisle, etc.

there were a ton of sweet ones off HTTF of which i know none by name......

I really enjoy "Gagging Order" and "Fog." Those are pretty effin sweet songs.

permanent daylight is my favorite b side

I love that song.

The ones from HttF that I remember were Gagging Order, Paperbag Writer, Where Bluebirds Fly, and I Am Citizen Insane. I think there was another one that I forgot, though




Yes yes.



I remember somebody telling me this was inspired somehow by Sonic Youth. I have no idea if this is true or not, but I think the guitar sounds a little Sonic Youthy.


Wang

yes, gfdi that song is sweet. the string sample is from some bernard hermann score i think.

I just relistened to some Animal Collective. Man, I was wrong: Feels is the shit. I don't know what about it I didn't used to like. I found it a little tuneless and boring in the past, but this time I thought it was really catchy.

...Not to say I didn't like it at all before; I actually liked it quite a bit. Just never really got too into it.

Where Bluebirds Fly (one of my fav Radiohead songs, note my xbox tag) True Love Waits, Kinetic, Big Boots, Fog, and Pearly.

I also forgot to mention Wicked Child, which I always forget was technically a B-side from one of the HttT singles, since it had been around for years. I think.

I also should mention that Reckoner is not, actually, a B-side. It's an unreleased track they played around the time Amnesiac came out. So, not a B-side. I get myself confused sometimes because I download all the tracks, and forget where they came from.




"Did You See the Words" and "Grass" -- the first two tracks on the album -- are two of their catchiest efforts period as far as I'm concerned.




I felt the same way about the band as a whole for a time.


Wang

F all this talk of radiohead

WINGER - SEVENTEEN

YES

Jack Wagner - All I Need

I had a long week, full of exams that I didn't prepare for (because I'm an arrogant prick), long work hours, and other stuff that I'm not used to dealing with. So I decided to make a "Rollicking Mix." Hopefully the name implies what I'm looking for. It should be carefree, uptempo, fun, etc. I'm going mostly with anthemic sounding rock I can listen to while doing 95 in a 50 with my windows down. Some songs I have so far:

TV on the Radio- Wolf Like Me

White Rabbits- Kid on My Shoulders

The Wrens- Everyone Choose Sides

Wolf Parade- Shine a Light

The Strokes- Reptilia

Radiohead- Electioneering

LCD Soundsystem- Daft Punk is Playing at My House

Justice- Let There Be Light



This is off the top of my head, and is probably just stuff that I've heard recently that I think would fit well. Please, fire off suggestions. I'm sure I'm going to add some Zeppelin before this is all over, just because I pretty much throw Zeppelin on every mix, because they rock so hard.

Better late than never. I'm just being fashionably late.

For the first 9 pages, Wang is the clear winner with excellent assists by Burgundy.




never heard of em'




This is in my top ten greatest albums of all time.



What's the french dudes name that plays covers on his acoustic guitar?

I think he released a new album a few months ago, but I can't even remember his name so don't hold me to that.


edit: holy fuck, 89 pages?! I also forgot to mention wrt King Crimson, Robert Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists is worth checking out.

whoa thats from like years ago in this thread.

it really is amazing how far we've come.

I'm listening to the new Iron and Wine album, "The Shepard's Dog." It's pretty darn good, I'm really digging it so far. I'll have to spin it a few more times, but at this point I think I can recommend it.

I heard that weeks ago; I jacked it based solely on a picture of a band member with a cool beard. It was like a 7.5 for me, but I'll listen again.

Between The Buried And Me - Colors
Jose Gonzalez - In Our Nature
Animal Collective - Strawberry jam

Bright Eyes.......need I say more...

Needed something to get me to wake up at work today.

Shook Ones Pt 2 worked perfectly.

i would punch that whiny ho right in his vag.

Me, too. Something about Connor Oberst has always really, REALLY bothered me. I think it has something to do with how much women adore his bitchy lyrics.

I conclude that he is a faggot.

I got a new 4G iPod nano that fell off a truck the other day. Sixty bucks, and it came with a portable wall-adapter charger thing. Working with ex-felons is really, really great. Nobody can ever fuck with me, either, because they are huge and I consistently forgive their debts and give them sound advice on a wide-range of topics.

Yes, this is who you think it is. I'm in disguise, so try not to use my name (real, or former online identity) if possible.



Roar

Haha, I figured there were quite a few Connor haters in here. I admit you either love or hate his music. I've never heard anybody say "Eh, Bright Eyes is okay..."
