This is sometimes interesting, to hear what people are listening to. Sometimes you find something new, that you have never heard of, and like muchly!

Post what album you are listening to lately/currently. Don't fucking post, 'well i have a # CD changer so i'm listening to this and this and this.' Pick one god damned album, and post it

One that you are particularly fond of atm, whether it be new, old, whatever.

For me... Zwan - Mary of the Sea

(this album is god on rocket skates, check it out...and no it's not smashing pumpkins part 2...it's corgan, and it's surprisingly different.)

I'm mainly cycling Lard's "Last Temptation Of Reid" and Jello Biafra+DOA "Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbours". But then I'm debugging an alpha version of my game atm and need all the anger I can muster. . .

I saw Zhwan on Letterman a while back and was surprised that I actually liked it a lot. I thought Billy Corgan was the reason I despised the Smashing Pumpkins... apparently not.

Still diggin the latest Sneaker Pimps - Bloodsport

Currently though, I'm totally in retro mode...

Ned's Atmoic Dustbin - Are You Normal & Brainboodvolume
Inspiral Carpets - Devil Hopping
Pop Will Eat Itself - Dos Dedos mis Amigos
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman
Shamen - En-Tact
The Wonderstuff - Hup

My playlist includes every recording that Tool has made and I've been able to get my hands on.

Another notable that is on the list is Flaw's "Through The Eyes". It's harder rock, but the guy actually has a decent voice. Check it out.

Mew's 'Frengers' is currently fighting Donny Hathaway LIVE for the slot in my discman.

hehe i'm listening to the Zwan album right now on their website.

'Gish' came out my freshman year in college, and i really loved that, and i loved most of Siamese Dream, and had a great time going to see Smashing Pumpkins when they were on a club tour in 1992 or something. One of the best concerts I ever saw.

anyways, hated all their stuff since, cause mostly i thought Billy Corrigan was trying to cast himself as this poet/jackass/emotionally complex dipshit and his chief methodology of achieving this end was a combination of trite lyrics and really lame melodies.

anyways, that being said, i listen to the album several times a week at work, even though there are several songs on it i think are terrible.

And i guess it is what I am listening to most frequently at the moment - besides my wife talking of course

Radio Iodine mix cd. I'd say the actual album but I found out about them too late and I can't seem to find any of their cds anywhere.

Colplay - a rush of blood to the head

Great CD...very talented band. I saw them and Zwan back in December...both bands truly out due themselves in a live setting. It would appear that studios "cramp their styles", if you know what I mean.

yes but now i can withhold leet strats from her requiring her to perform lewd acts upon my person for the info!

i got pretty hammered that night, and my wife had the distinct pleasure of picking me up from the bar and listening to me ramble at a high volume all the way home. As above, i am ultimately thinking of her, and i dont want to deny these special moments that she and I share together, you see.

Adelrune Argenti · Post by **Adelrune Argenti** » June 4, 2003, 2:39 pm

Lately, it has been:

"Beautiful Lumps of Coal" by Plumb.

Her voice haunts me. Very pop sounding but just an awesome CD. Plus, I am a sucker for a great singing voice on a woman.

"14 Shades of Grey" by Staind.

Aaron Lewis' voice is very unique. Some interesting and catchy songs on this latest effort.

And then there are the scads of Trance/Techno/electronic mixes I pick up. These keep me focused and going throughout the day.

Drolgin Steingrinder · April 23, 2005, 12:01 pm

This is a bump! Have you moved your taste in the last few years?

For me, currently it's:
Mago de Oz - Finisterra
Architecture in Helsinki - Fingers Crossed
and for some reason, Jimmy Cliff is all over my playlist these days.

I'm not big into music but I've been listening to:

Gwen Stefani - Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

The songs, What are you waiting for, Rich Girl, Hollaback Girl, etc are pretty good. (If you like Gwen's voice)

I don't like her voice but I sure to like the rest of her!

Back on topic, I am currently listening to:

ELO - Out of the blue
Cat Power- Moon pix
Amon Düül - Carnival in Babylon
Kimya Dawson/Moldy peaches - Various
Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of silence

Also will probably pick up "John Frusciante/Matt Klinghoffer - Curtains" tomorrow.

Sorry!

Just been introduced to lots of new stuff this last few weeks. Still sifting through which one I prefer most.

I think I really like the Elliot Smith one though, he is fairly depressing if you aren't in the right mood sometimes, but he has an amazing voice and I like the acousticy sound.

Apparantly he stabbed himself in the chest twice and killed himself, not exactly the sorta person you should listen to when depressed, just ask him!

I skip around a lot. But the CD that I have probably been listening to the most the last couple weeks is Inspiration by Kelley Hunt (couple sample tracks available at http://www.kelleyhunt.com/ which are good, although not my favorites on the CD). With honorable mention going to C.J. Chenier's Big Squeeze.

Is that the new one Markalus? I have heard it's quite different from their earlier ones...I heard they actually tried in this one.

I heard one of the songs, it was fairly heavy and cool.

eOmniz · Post by **eOmniz** » April 26, 2005, 5:52 am

Müm - Summer Make Good

Check them out. Along the lines of Air and Sigur Ros, mellow electronic with some creepy female vocals, really good.

2 slightly older cd's =
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief (I'm appreciating more and more the more I listen to it.)
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile (Disc one is amazing, been getting in the mood for Reznor's new album next week)

Aslanna or any other Tori fans, your opinion on her latest, the Beekeeper? I think it's decent, certainly better than Scarlet's Walk, but most of my friends hate it.

Nick · Post by **Nick** » April 26, 2005, 6:37 am

"Green grass of tunnel" is one of my favourite songs in the universe.
Mum are amazing!

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » April 26, 2005, 7:07 am

Gwen Stefani is being dissed on this thread! OK, maybe the entire album isn't good but "What Are You Waiting For?" is a good song. Gwen's done some good work with No Doubt. She may look like a crack ho at times but she also has many other looks and you might use the phrase, "cleans up nicely" when referring to her. : )

Any song that has the line, "take a chance you stupid ho" repeated throughout the song is a winner in my book.

I like it (I liked Scarlet's Walk too though, of course there isn't much that she has done that I don't like

). By the way, http://www.launch.com has a couple of videos of live in their studio tracks by Tori from the Beekeeper for anyone interested. Just go to the live@launch section (its free).

Beekeeper isn't bad. Not sure I like it more than Scarlet's Walk though. Will have to listen to them both and see how I feel. Been awhile since I've listened to SW. I'm glad her lyrics are getting more 'back to reality' though. Some of her songs on earlier stuff (after Little Earthquakes) is just too bizarre. Just say no to drugs.

As far as the solo Gwen Stefani stuff... Bleh. If I'm listening to the radio and it comes on I hit Mute until it's over. Any album with a song that spells out 'bananas' multiple times just sucks.

How do you know when it's over???

I guess it comes down to one song I like "What are you waiting for" and I'll be keeping that in my top 120-150 song playlist for awhile.
