What the hell are you listening to...2009 Edition
2008 Edition
2007 Edition 2006 Edition Well it's another year in the books. I'll probably have a playlist eventually. But for the time being, you can check out the site The Hype Machine. It aggregates MP3s from all around the web, it's a nice way to get a cross-section of indie tracks that you can play almost instantly as opposed to having to garage sale around for it. Other people listen to good stuff, so surely they'll post it. Happy New Year. Last edited by Young Drachma : 01-06-2009 at 06:40 PM. |

Everytime I turn around, I hear MGMT these days and that's a good thing for sure.

Always liked reggae (or reggae influenced mostly in this case) music a decent amount. I am not a one trick pony with punk. It's not another Bob Marley faze for me though, right now I am really into Slightly Stoopid.
Have also been listening to some older crap from the past like 88 Fingers Louie (punk), and oddly enough (this one is a bit out of the norm for me) Ben Folds. I just got his Way To Normal album.

Asher Roth is like the White Kanye West, except he's not a producer. Oh and Jay-Z turned him down. Akon later signed him. He takes a Jay-Z track and flipped it.

This year I'm broadening my musical horizons by visiting RCRDLBL (hxxp://rcrdlbl.com/) and checking out their daily MP3's.
(Edited to hxxp the link, as when I went there today/just now, there was a definite NSFW image on the front page, album art for one of the artists). At the moment listening to The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, which is probably more mainstream than a lot of others. /tk

Any Northeasterner's out there heard of the Rustic Overtones? I was introduced to this band a year or so ago while listening to NPR. These guys absolutely rock. They are out of Maine and from what I've read basically all of the gigs they've done as of late have been in New England.
Anyway, besides RO I'm still enjoying my regular stuff when I'm in the mood for music. Love Jones (All-Time #1 Fave), Squirrel Nut Zippers (will be seeing them in concert in a couple of months), Royal Crown Revue, among others. I am big into the swingey, jazzy and big band stuff.

Right now I am listening the heck of out Tyvek's FAST Metabolism. It's catchy, silly, stupid garage rock. Best songs are "Needles Drop" "Give It Up" and supremely silly "Honda."
Also enjoying Unhistories by Singer. These guys are ex-US Maple, if that's a touching point for you. Similar off-kilter stuff, but more cohesive and with singing rather than growling, murmuring and mumblings. EDIT TO ADD: It's an older album, but I've only gotten into This Ain't a Hate Thing, It's a Love Thingby Lords. It's a bluesy/rock n roll type record but with odd time signatures and unexpected riffs. Surprisingly catchy (in my head right now). Also, on a jazz tip, the Mary Halvorson Trio's Dragon is the jazz record I wish I could have made. Guitar, bass and drums interweaving, creating unusual textures but avoiding free jazz skronk. Great stuff. Last edited by MrDNA : 01-22-2009 at 09:26 PM. |

Lindsey Buckingham - Gift of Screws
I am a fan. His solo career has been spotty but his 1992 Out of the Cradle (currently selling for $6.99 at Amazon) is one of my very favorite albums. To my delight, his recent release is pretty damn similar. Truly amazing guitar work, some beautiful songwriting, slick production. I predict this one stays in my rotation for a long, long time. Amazon customers rate this one at 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. It gets a 5 from me, easy. |

I'll second Old Crow Medicine show. They are absolutely tremendous. I'm also really digging Southern Tenant Folk Union of late. They are actually British, not Southern as their name and music they play would imply. |

Whole Wheat Bread
They just came out with a new album a couple weeks ago. This band is a band I can't figure out how I really feel about. They call their music Dirty South Punk. To me a good amount of it tends to lean towards a pop sound, pop-punk basically. There was a time when I liked bands with that sound but grew tired of it when it became very whinny. It's not always a straight pop-punk sound though, and I think I like them for the most part. I think. I will probably tire of them. I know they are working with Lil'Jon on his new album called Crunk Rock, which has me wondering what that will sound like.

Yeah, I heard them last year sometime. Other than the novelty of being black guys who wear hip hop clothes and stuff, they're not really that special. I mean, they sound like any sort of punk band with a pop edge. It's catchy, but I think they're just one of those bands that sticks out and will get a following because of the novelty and marketing, more because of them being any good. I tried to get into it, but it just couldn't stick...

Kind of my feeling I think, and I probably won't stick with them long. The tracks I head from the new album sounds better then their first one overall, but I still can't decide if I will get the album. Probably not since after I gave that a listen I swung the other way and started to check out the new The Mongoloids EP. NY hardcore music is definitely the other side of the punk spectrum. I am all over the map right now. Heck, I am burning This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb and Rosa to CD right now to take with me in the car in a bit. They are both considered folk-punk. Put that together with the Ben Folds I got and I may end up having multiple personalities.

Got Chinesse Democracy this week and i'm really enjoying it, was not expecting this king of sound from Guns and Roses, i was expecting just old style rock/metal (had not heard anything from this album before).
Other than that, i'm somewhat nostalgic and have started to listen again to all the good old punk rock that got me into guitar playing 15 yeas ago, like Bad Religion, Pennywise, Lag Wagon, NOFX, etc.

Found an old backup from a computer I had 8 to 10 years ago, and there were a bunch of MP3s I thought I'd lost.
I had forgotten how great of a song New Order's 'Bizarre Love Triangle' is.

I've been doing a lot of listening to the 9.6.08 DMB concert from Berkeley. It's an IEM (in-ear monitor), meaning you can hear the conversations going on between the band members in-between songs. The 2008 tour was considered to be their best in a decade, despite the loss of sax player LeRoi Moore.
My favorite from this particular show is their Anyone Seen The Bridge?, a little song played as an segue to another song (normally, it went from So Much To Say to Too Much, but in '08, they played it into a lot of different songs, including Halloween, which is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard). They added a stop-time part to the song, and it was really cool to listen to them set it up on the fly. Carter Beauford, the dummer, actually set it up to play a part of another song (Tripping Billies) and they just went with it. Pure awesomeness. |

So they changed their setlist on the fly during the show? I didn't know bands typically coordinate songs through IEMs but that's pretty cool.

They would decide, normally, what to play after ASTB. What I'm saying is that they decided the format of ASTB (how the stop-time measure would go) on the fly, and that they did it in the form of one of their most popular songs on the fly. Carter said "Check this out", and he started to sing the beats of the song. Dave figured it out and said that was cool, and they went with it. They have, on several occasions, played a song due to a crowd chant. The best from 08 was during the only sax-less show in the group's history, on August 5th in Cincinnati. The crowd started up a massive Halloween chant. The band responded by going into Everyday, which is a very uplifting, love-everyone song. They played the intro for about two minutes, at which point Carter comes in with a little drums, and the song begins. When it came time for Carter to go into it, he did the drums for Halloween, and they went directly into it. The best is hearing the collective gasp from the crowd, and then total bedlam. Then they ended up teasing other songs a few shows down the road, and going right into Halloween. It's one of their rarer songs (they hadn't played back-to-back Halloweens in 13 years until this past tour), so it was awesome. Last edited by Comey : 02-01-2009 at 07:40 AM. |

I haven't really got anything that current on my playlist. My guilty pleasure of late is Katy Perry, who I've tried not to like for a long, long time. And regardless of what my wife and oh, so hip female friends think, I was digging her before I ever even saw her.
My Limewire is f'ed up and the guy at the local record store has actually threatened my life (or so I've heard, the pussy), so I've been relying on friends for mix CDs, which is a nice change of pace. The new Alanis songs I've heard are really, really good and I'm digging what I've heard from Rogue Wave, Kings of Leon, Dance Gavin Dance new Foo Fighters and MGMT. I'm not into the Vampire Weekend thing though, and I can't figure out why. Mostly though, I've been on a retro kick which has included everything from At the Drive-In to Velvet Underground. I've been rediscovering Pearl Jam's "Ten," the whole Danzig era Misfits catalogue, Queen, The Buzzcocks, and what little we had of Rites of Spring. Failure has been on quite a bit, as has Sunny Day Real Estate, Prince, System of a Down, Skindred, Leonard Cohen, The Smiths, shit...tons of stuff. I haven't heard anything new that has really moved me though. If anyone has any suggestions based on what I've mentioned, then please let me know. Most of the bands mentioned, I've never even heard of and I feel like I might be missing out on my next big "hard on" based on my current out of the loopness. |

Anybody else listened to Antony and the Johnsons with "The Crying Light"? which in all reality is a guy named Antony Hegarty with a band ?
I got hugely captured by that and it caught me out of nowhere, too, since i haven´t heard anything from him before my GF and i listened to a best of album by a german singer named Herbert Grönemeyer where he´s having a duet with Antony. Anyway, the song (named "will i ever learn) had me intrigued because i thought he had a really great voice. Well, turns out that this is an understatement. He´s got an unreal good voice. And the album is full of great "universal truths" in the lyrics and that combined with his voice and the very fitting instrumental structure makes it an album that creates an incredible deep atmosphere. At least that´s what i think ... Antony & the Johnsons - Another World Antony & the Johnsons - Kiss my Name Antony & the Johnsons - Her Eyes are underneath the Ground non-album tracks : Antony Hegarty & Lou Reed - Candy says Björk with Antony Hegarty - Dull Flame of Desire he also provided most vocals for the dance/electro project "Hercules & Love Affair" . |

Morrissey's new album just came out. I've listened to it once (on shuffle accidentally) and I'm still undecided. I figure it's probably about average for his solo stuff, but at least it's nowhere near as bad as his previous album.

Is the "previous album" you're referencing You Are The Quarry? I never got the album, but I thought the two singles (Irish Blood, English Heart, and First of the Gang to Die) were stellar. I assumed the rest of the album would be at least passable.
