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.
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.
\m/ :mad: \m/
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/ :mad: \m/
Fine, have some Nile. Nuclear Assault rules.
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).
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.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

The best hardcore song ever. Ever.
At this moment, Gary Allen's 'Get Off On the Pain'

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".
I Got Rythm:
The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
As I dug you diggin' me in Mexico.
There in the valley of Scorpio, beneath the cross of jade
Smoking on the seashell pipe the gypsies had made
We sat and we dreamed a while of smugglers bringing wine
In that crystal thought time in Mexico.
Sitting in a chair of bamboo, sipping grenadine,
Straining my eyes for a surfacing submarine.
Kingdoms of ants walk across my feet,
I'm a-shakin' in my seat in Mexico.
Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night,
Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight,
Watching a black-eyed native girl cut and trim the lamp,
Valentino vamp in Mexico.
The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
I dug you diggin' me in Mexico
Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail
Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale.
The heath was hung in magic mists, enchanted dripping glades,
I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades
In the night time.
Crystals sparkle in the grass, I polish them with thought
On my lash there in my eye a star of light is caught.
Fortunes told in grains of sand, here I am is all I know
Candy stuck in children's hair, everywhere I go
In the night time,
In the night time.
Gypsy is the clown of love, I paint his face a smile
Anyone we ever make we always make in style. Yeah!
Yeah, strange young girls with radar screenings, yeah,
And hands as quick as hate
I won't just now, later on maybe and even then I'll wait
In the night time,
In the night time.
Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail
Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale.
The heath was hung in magic mists, enchanted dripping glades,
I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades
In the night time.
In the night time.
Before he became particularly well known and the first time I went to London, I heard a busker singing this. I was quite taken with it and tracked it down.
I'm sure that the busker was Donovan. He used to doss around on the beach in my town (Whitby) but I don't think I ever met him there.
This has been stuck in my head ever since Youtube recommended it a couple days ago.
I blame my sister for showing me this.
Villagers - Becoming A Jackal album
Here's a lovely home recorded live version of his I saw the Dead.
The National High Violet
my favourite song on it is Bloodbuzz, Ohio, thus far at least.
And finally, Baloji's update of Independence Cha-Cha
This, since An Gadai suggested I listen to it the other day. It's been stuck in my head continuously ever since.
mp3 available upon request (and yes, I listen to this all the damn time)
Never been a big fan of Kylie, but omg, this song is like pop music made of heroin:
I like Kylie - just not her songs. Sounds like she's been sucking Helium on that one.
I've been on such a Nellie McKay kick lately.
Some reggae to soothe the weary soul.

Mylené Farmer, Il N'y A Pas D'ailleurs.
The video is taken from her film "Giorgino"
Giorgino is played by her lead guitarist,
Also in the cast, Frances Barber and Joss Ackland.
Film bombed and was withdrawn by the producer, Mylené's partner, Laurant Boutonnat and buried for years. Released on DVD last year it is a superb film but a little long at three hours.
Must drag my copy out and watch it again.
I've been listening to some Old Skool House and getting myself some mini "E" flashbacks.
I've become obsessed with M. Ward.
Pepper, that song is awesome.
Isn't it, though? I never even listened to M. Ward before that song popped up on my last.fm and I was like :wth: <3 :dance:
And my favorite M. Ward song today
Trip-hop meets Betty Boop. A local amusement park (Lagoon) has been using this (starting at 0:36 or so) as their jingle recently, and it has been stuck in my head something fierce. Catchy, silly, and sexy.
Robert Plant covering Los Lobos and doing an excellent job of it too.
Barbara Cartland was the Queen of Romance. Truth is, she's won my heart too. It's criminal that she released so many books but only one LP!
This is so very sad, brings tears to my eyes, exquisitely beautiful though.
As Kerouc said, "Sadness is beauty"
