Hah. Danzig. I haven't even thought about them since the mid-90s.

Lately I'm all about the new Goldfrapp album, Head First. Especially this song.

[Exy]

Well, unluckily, at the exact moment I read this thread, I am listening to this:


I assume those dancers are wearing the traditional outfits of Serbia.

Nuclear Assault narrowly edges out Overkill and Baloff-era Exodus for the title of Most Annoying Lead Vocals in a Thrash Band.

Luckily, it's thrash, so that's OK. \m/ \m/

[Cluricaun]

Fine, have some Nile. Nuclear Assault rules.

[OneCentStamp]

Nile is insane. One of the few death/black metal bands who were actually really good live (as opposed to Marduk, who opened for them and sucked blasphemous Swedish donkey balls).

[Cluricaun]

Haha, I saw Nile blow Corpse off the stage as an opening act forever and a day ago. They're just so damned precise it's incredible. Ok, no more death metal for a minute, I'm going to scare anyone else from posting in this thread:

Fine, then this will just be the What Cluricaun is listening to thread. I don't mind, I listen to music almost non stop.

The best concert I've ever been to was Descendents in Salt Lake City in 1997, with Suicide Machines and Shades Apart opening.

I had seen the Descendents in 1988 on their last tour before Milo left, but I had only known about them for a few weeks at the time and a lot of their greatness was lost on me. Eventually they became one of my favorite bands, which they still are. But for most of a decade, I figured I had had my last chance to see them live.

When they came out with Everything Sucks and launched the ensuing tour, I of course made sure I was there. As it turned out, SLC was the last tour stop before they went home, and far from burned out, they were loose, happy, and absolutely amazing. (They ended up playing for almost two hours, which is pretty much every fucking Descendents song in the catalog, and one ALL song to boot.)

Anyway, they marched onto stage, grabbed their instruments, Milo said, "Hi, we're the Descendents, from Fort Collins, Colorado." They launched into "Hope," and I got eyes full of tears, like the sop I am. It was just hard to believe I was there and it was happening.

[Cluricaun]

Fort Collins? Was that a joke? They're from Orange County California.

Still, awesome experiance. I'd kill to see them live.

No, not a joke. They started out in SoCal, Lomita to be exact, but during the ALL years Bill and Steve relocated to Fort Collins and opened up their studio, The Blasting Room. When the Descendents got back together to record Everything Sucks, that's where they gathered. In fact, the song "This Place Sucks" was supposedly about Fort Collins, and all the right wing rednecks they encountered while living there.

I'm feeling old school tonight.

Yeah, no kidding, Gramps.

[OneCentStamp]

When I'm drunk this whole album makes me ineffably happy, and on Suicide Tuesday, this whole album makes me cry. Revs, do you like this record?

[Revs]

I've been listening to the entire Breeders discography all day today.

To respond to OSC's question, I do really like that album but there are a few songs that make me sad. Especially "Silver and Gold".

I like the Breeders, but I thought they were less than the sum of their parts; The Pixies, Throwing Muses, and Belly all being superior.

To respond to OSC's question, I do really like that album but there are a few songs that make me sad. Especially "Silver and Gold".

Yeah, that song is crushing, knowing Joe died so soon after.

At the minute I'm mainly listening to Beairtle O'Domhnaill and John Beag, folk and country and western type music mainly sung in Irish. It's probably an acquired taste! Hard to find the good stuff on youtube but here's some examples:

Shame about the sound quality.
Used to be a big Sci-Fi reader and the guitar that comes in at 1:49 always put me in mind of ships sailing between the stars using huge photon sails, an effortless, silent motion.

This has always been my favourite Byrds song since it was released.
Played it on better and better equipment but that guitar still sounds better on the rubbish systems for some reason.

As does the Saturn Rocket take-off on the Mike Oldfield "Songs Of Distant Earth" album. It's at 3':24" in "Crystal Clear".
