Rain Dogs

Thanks, Yorke.



Cunts, I can't get over how much and how suddenly I love Bjork.

I'm trying to stay out of that book recommendation thread, but I don't know how much longer I'm going to make it. I'm trying to turn over a new leaf of a kinder, gentler bigd, not ripping people for reading Dan Brown, but it's hard, oh is it hard.

Ohhhh...you're not going to like what's being recommended. Sample: the mood is such that I suggested someone read Elmore Leonard.

Oh, I saw, race traitor.

MBV are performing some shows in England.

If they do any kind of semi-extensive reunion touring that gets them to this continent, we should all meet up in Chicago/New York/whatever and see them

ghostface killaaaaaah

House, Techno, Psy-Trance, Goa

Chopin

Best FYP I've seen in quite some time. Well played, IceBearWang.

Today has been a mix of stuff. Listened to a soul/R&B station on Pandora for awhile, so I got an earful of Aretha, Wilson Pickett, David Ruffin, and the like. Then I switched to the iPod and put it on shuffle, so I've gotten some Okkervil River, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Spoon, Iron & Wine, Pedro The Lion, and some Murs so far. Can't really decide on any one thing in particular to listen to.

I was just glossing over your post, and thought that said Pedo... as in Pedobear.

although i find their songs a little boring, i think the new band of horses sounds really nice.

Ziggy Stardust-Bowie

Kid Rock
Radiohead
Bruce Springsteen
Beatles

I downloaded it, but haven't really listened yet. The song they had on the Pitchfork playlist -- "Is there a Ghost in this House" I think it was -- was a really good listen. If mk reccomends, I shall listen. I liked their first album. Nothing special, but a fun little indie-guitar listen.

killa beeeez

I finally decided to pin my ears back and listen to some Aesop Rock. I've started with Labor Days. This okay? Or should I begin somewhere else? I've heard his stuff before, but not really.

git up git out


goodie mob= underrated

I'm working on a theory that Aes is actually the Pope, and that's why he's so infallible. It's not a strong theory. Labor Days is probably his best LP, but I think Daylight EP is my favorite thing he's done.

Goodie Mob is excellent.

HAIL TO THE MOTHER FUCKING THIEF!

I forget how good this album is until once a month or so I spin it and go nuts. God, I love this album.

Aesop is ****ing awesome, Labor Days is so good. Daylight is amazing.

Brian Eno - Before & After Science
is good one but i recently tried few classsical music by pandit ravishankar it gives ultimate peace to mind.

Welcome. I really love Brian Eno. Before and After science is good, but my favorites are Here Come the Warm Jets and Another Green World.

Word

In Rainbows right now

Do you guys think that during Reckoner that when Thom is singing "Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore" they're saying "In Rainbows" in the background? This could be something that was obvious to everyone, and I was just completely oblivious but maybe not.

I spent most of the day broadening my horizons by listening to Aesop Rock's Labor Days and a little of Burial's Untrue. Not sure what I think about dubstep yet, in general. I'll admit I'm intrigued.

Aesop seems to be... a lyrical genius. I've heard his stuff before, but never really paid attention. Kinda one of those, "I'll come back to this later" things. I remember enjoying the song "Daylight," but now I... well, I really really enjoy it, as well as the rest of the stuff. It's kind of overwhelming, because the music and lyrics are kind of dense/fast, some of it goes by so quick I don't really catch it.

Life's not a bitch life is a beautiful woman
Your only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess


Haha, that's awesome.




Yeah.


And I just listened to Reckoner (without changing the EQ on my iPod, because I'm lazy) but I'm not sure if they're moaning "Iiiiiiiiiin Raaiiiiiiiiin Boooooooows" or not, but I think not. I remember listening to that song 10 times on repeat when I spent all weekend stoned, and I feel like I would've caught that.

I did, however, decide that when Thom sings:

"This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green"

that he is referencing the colors of component cables. Videotape. Recording equipment. Red, blue and green component cables.

There's a reason I don't smoke very often.

On that EP me and bigkg talked about, that song is followed by a counterpoint, "Nightlight:"

"Life's not a bitch, life is a beotch

Who keeps the villagers circling the marketplace, out searching for the G-spot

Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests

Or maybe you're just an *******... maybe I'm just an *******"

But yeah, Aes is one of my favorite MCes. After Labor and that EP, check out Bazooka Tooth and Music for Earthworms.

I think I now have to download the entire Def Jux catalog.

Next stop: Mr. Lif - I, Phantom , if you haven't already.

(Is there a torrent for the whole Jux catalog? If so, link?)

WangBear, have you listened to any Cannibal Ox?

El-P = my hero

Favorite tracks on this are probably Success, Fallin', and Roc Boys. The horns on Roc Boys are pretty epic, and the Nas-Jay-Z collab is classic.

Mother-fuck my cunt off; Tom Waits is sick-awesome. After Rain Dogs, what's good?

Also: Arcade Fire. Has anyone heard their first EP? I just found out it even exists, but I'm still Tom Waitsing, so I haven't spun it yet. Any good?

In regards to Waits; I also like Swordfishtrombones and Bone Machine. I haven't really heard much besides that.

The Arcade Fire EP is ****ing awesome. Seriously, the song No Cars Go was the song that made me fall in love with them.

Any guitar players in here? I have a pretty disturbingly sick axe collection (I hesitate to list many of them because their cost is almost embarrassing), and I made a sick grab at a yard sale today: A Seafoam Green '62 Airline Res-o-Glass, for $35. The case is trashed, and the knobs are after-market and stupid-looking, but the pickups are original and it sounds unreal. (Most people probably don't like the sound, but I've been shifting focus to weirder, rarer makes, because Fenders and Gibsons have gotten pretty pricey.)

Edit: I think this paint job is after-market, too, and it's not great. Still...

What about The White Sessions? Is that any good? Seems like alternate visions of stuff I have, which is weird for a band with a limited catalog, but I'm intrigued.

Hm, I don't think I've ever heard that. Also check out the song "Cold Wind" from the Six Feet Under soundtrack, it's good.

i feel like ive missed a lot in this thread.

aesop rock is awesome, and daylight is amazing.

cannibal ox is even better, but sadly, shortlived

and i want to hear your guitar collection and prices dutch

Oh, Ox, I forget about that one. I was in love with that, early in my rap transition.



My Guitars: I have somewhere between 30 and 40, now, largely inherited or traded for another I inherited. It's mostly Gibsons; Les Pauls and hollow bodies, all good stuff. My absolute favorites are my 1960 ES-335 and a fairly new ('00s) Les Paul Goldtop with P-90ish custom pickups. Both are below median, value-wise, but they sound better than their sexier siblings.

I only have one Fender, which I bought somewhat recently, and don't play.

Oh, wait, I forgot: my late '60s Hummingbird is my favorite favorite.

I'm now completely obsessed with Waits. I've been reading interviews for the last hour, and he's as fascinating as his Music.

Waits makes my ass twitch.. maybe it was all these douche bag punk/hipster/hippie people in olympia washington I knew, that read bukowski and listened to waits, and got obnoxiously drunk, but I can't ****ing stand him anymore.

Huh. I can understand this; I can't listen to the Shins anymore, almost solely out of semi-unconscious spite, despite liking them on a vary conscious level. Luckily most of my adjacent hipsters (I live 3 minutes from Little Five-Points, which is ATL's douchiest hipster community) are such shitty, solely aesthetic hipsters that they don't ruin much of anything I like; they all secretly watch MTV and profess Death Cab for Cutie their favorite band.

Dutch & Tom Waits update: I've listened to Rain Dogs, Swordfishtrombones and Mule Variations. All three are incredible. Mule Variations in particular has potential to be one of my favorite records ever.

Next: Elvis Costello. I'm downloading Get Happy, This Year's Model, and Blood and Chocolate. Is that a reasonable selection? Anything to add? (Those albums were selected based on number of seeds.)

I've only heard This Year's Model, but it's one of my favorite records.
