Just curious really ;D
I've been listening to lots of June of 44, Slint, The Shipping News & The For Carnation. I like all sorts of stuff, but i seem to go through phases with in my listening habits. Right now its post-rock / mathy stuff. I guess mostly because just started a new band that's in that vein, and thats where my mind is at right now
Throne To the Wolves by From First To Last. They put this album out within a month of disbanding, and I never got into it much until this week. Really riff-laden -- Almost to a fault, but there's a lot of interesting ideas they pull off.
I've been trying to figure out what I listen to lately and I can't figure it out. Any Thrice fans out there? I can't wait to see them in October!
Mine's been really random lately (thanks to Spotify). I've actually been listening and digging the new Jeff Bridges album (weird, I know). But there has also been a lot of Radiohead and Deftones thrown in my recent mixes.
Also, I'll plug my best friends new band Jack Buck (they are from St. Louis). They are dropping a three song 7" vinyl in October, pre-orders are up with an automatic download of the record. If you like noisy, hard stuff, check em out. If you DON'T like that stuff, still go check out the 7".... Best. Packaging. Ever.
http://jackbuck.bandcamp.com/ (http://jackbuck.bandcamp.com/)
All kinds of stuff for me, but what I really love is re-discovering an album I haven't heard for ages, sometimes years.
At the moment I can't get enough of Blizzard of Ozz, something I'd forgotten about for about 20 years!!. Randy Rhoads is the man!! It brings back some great memories, not only of the songs and the playing, but of what I was up to at the time. Happy days....!
I've been listening to the Pete Thorn Guitar Nerd CD. Good stuff 8)
The latest Foo Fighters and the latest from Emery here. I'm a Thrice fan as well, and I too like digging through old albums of mine to find forgotten gems.

Some good tunes being heard in here for sure. My latest kick has been along a jamming/improv vein: Phish, Umphrey's McGee, Ratdog, Gov't Mule, Maceo Parker, Dumpstaphunk and....Adele ;) that girl has a voice. I'm all over the place, just depends on my mood at the given time.
Monte Montgomery's "live at the caravan of dreams" He's from Austin (of coarse), I think it was recorded in '94. his live version of Dire Straits' "romeo and juliet" is astounding. check it out
He plays a beat to shit alvarez acoustic through a tube screamer. and shreds it till his amp is about to blow. I have no Idea how he controls it but he's amazing. my favorite player at the moment.
found my way back to Ozric Tentacles lately
Good to know I'm not the only guy that listens to ozric and monte montgomery. shoulda known though.
I've been on a Billy Gibbons kick lately. Love the old stuff like Rio Grande Mud and Tejas.
Listened to one of my favorite albums from the early 90's the other day, The Grays Ro Sham Bo (with Jason Falkner and Jon Brion). Reeeeally wish they had made a 2nd album.
I've been doing most of my listening through Pandora recently...which is like listening to a radio station run by a psychotic DJ who likes everything I like.
But specifically I've been liking
Charles Bradley
Been playing the intro solo compulsively...
Been listening to Kanye West's MBDTF...so many good hooks
a little band (in age and popularity) called Adam & Naive. Sky Mother and Carolina are class tunes 8)
getting back into some jazz

Baroness, Seahaven, Title Fight, Bon Iver, new Foos, Bear Hands and Kill em All era Metallica
Just listened to King Crimson Discipline. Ahhhhh, I haven't heard that in a long time. :)
Is that the recent bon iver, or the first album. I love "for Emma, forever ago" not to sure about the new album..

It is good to see a guy that I know is one of the best drummers alive making it in the biz. Daren is not a physically large guy, but he is the loudest, and tightest drummer I have ever seen. In the Airborne Toxic Event he plays with alot of control, but inside him is a super fast punk core. His dad was always really supportive of him and the rest of us playing in bands in the small town we grew up in. We used to jam in the rec room at Daren's house multiple times a week. Now when you go through that same room it is the entrance to a pro recording studio his dad built on to the back of the house, so cool!
also - this: << Baroness <---> Bon Iver >> kinda sums me up.
loud, angry guy music, vs quiet, sad guy music ;)

For emma forever ago is brilliant, but im enjoying the new one too at the moment. and the blood bank ep is also real nice.
Been listening to a lot of Black Keys and QOTSA.
PJ Harvey and Portishead too (went to see them at 'I'll be Your Mirror' and they were both outstanding).
Also dragged out my Motown Gold album to listen to some Jamerson basslines. I have bought a new bass and have put flatwounds on so I'm digging Jamerson at the mo ha!

Dylan's Self Portrait
One of my favorite dylan albums.
Last few songs shuffled on my Ipod:
I love Bridge of Sighs!!
I've got Revamp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO394UbEnu8) in one car, Billy Idol's highly underatted Cyberpunk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tMFs-5FlWk) in the other. Generally speaking though there'll always be some Monster Magnet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz6epB9kJW4&ob) or NIN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lqsx2Jn4hE) on somewhere too. Also enjoying the Tron Legacy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0FwEmUycYI) soundtrack. You can hear everything in there from Kraftwerk to J.M. Jarre to Ron Hubbard all mixed in with a bit of Hans Zimmer (it's actually Daft Punk).
Up the resolution on them and they sound much better, well apart from the Billy Idol track as that's lousily encoded.
Catching on to lots of stoner metal lately. I'm digging High On Fire, Bison BC, and especially Acid King.

yeah, cool to see that name on this forum. i found him looking at some fender princeton advertisement and really liked is feeling with the tele, and then he poited out roy buchanan, another tele master with an incredible touch on those strings. I recommend listening to both of them!
For the last days i've been listening to a lot of Queens of the Stone Age, especially the song "i think i lost my headache". Waiting for their new album now... btw, cool thred.
I scored a copy of Television - Marquee Moon on vinyl the other day. Now constantly being spun in my apartment. So good.
Yesterday I was listening to some older Donald Fagen solo stuff
Today I'm on a Steve Miller kick. Something about a joker, a smoker, and a midnight toker....
edit: of course, if I had been in Dude mode, I woulda said Creedence. A missed opportunity.
Superdrag! Need to drag that out.
I've had Blitzen Trapper in heavy rotation lately.

Older stuff: Failure, just an awesome band that I used to listen to alot and seen live years ago.
New Stuff: Graveyard and Wolf People. Really talented bands doing the retro thing with their own twist
Also, Puscifer. A league of their own
I've been listening to a lot of Ryan Adams lately. He's covers so many generes of music it's crazy! He must be bi-polar or something. Check this out if you get the chance:

I came to this thread to post about this exact same album.
Been listening to the new Dawes album, Stories Don't End.
Their style doesn't overcome me with coolness, but it is well-produced with some great tones and the lyrics get better the more I listen to 'em. Sort of one of those creepers.
On repeat at my work is some Gary Clark Jr. and old Black Keys like from Thickfreakness.
In the car is the new Appleseed Casts - Illumination Ritual, I simple love every track on this album.
and at home on the bench has been the new Wavves - Afraid Of Heights, Another great album.
I keep my music toned down at work since I share the space with others and they can only tolerate my music for awhile until they snap. So I try to keep it to more safe bands and classic rock. They all did it.
A bit different to the usual stuff posted here, and no guitars (great bass playing though), but I have been listening to this guy in the car a lot recently:
I think he is taking hip hop production to higher (and better) levels.
Cosmic-space-opera-sh*t ;)!
This is the first time that I ever enjoyed black metal. Okay, this is atmospheric and post-metal/shoegaze infused black metal but still. Really was surprised how much I liked it. I'm listening to it at the moment at work.
A fresh album from Ireland, it is a noisy adventure. Try it.
Brian Eno's 'Ambient' series.
I'm loving the hell out of 4 "On Land". Dark, moody, kinda amplifies what you're doing, rather than drawing attention to itself.
You should really check Benn Jordan - Pale Blue Dot out if you enjoy Brian Eno. I bet you will love it.
To me, it's the best ambient album ever created. Strong words I know. But it has been the sanctuary for me for at least 5 years now.
Halestorm non stop for about three weeks ever since I heard their cover of Slave to the Grind. They have a real knack for writing big hooks, and respect to Lzzy, as it's rare to find a woman who really crushes it in hard rock, but she does. just watched their golden gods performance of Whole Lotta Love, really too bad David Draiman was on the sing as well, cause they just killed it.

Jonsi from sigur ros did an album with his boyfriend (Alex) and it is my favourite ambient album by far.
It's called rice boy sleeps. really, really great production on it. Check it out!

Music wise I like so many different sounds from classical to the other end of the scale wherever that might be,
I still love the old Dylan songs, Jim Croce, Randy Rhoades, Thin Lizzy, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Peter Green, so on and so on.................everything, anything musical I can listen to. :)
Been listening to alot of Steel Panther lately, and Stevie Wonders greatest hits. Oh, and the other half moaning that my pedals and guitars are taking over the house!
I grew up with my dad listening to Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, etc, and my sister listening to Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, etc and Steel Panther take me back to those days of growing up and not having a care in the world. They also did the best concert I've ever been to and ruined every concert I'm ever going to goto (I seem to goto quite a lot).
I'm trying to learn a few songs at the moment, including Death To all But Metal, and Fat Girl, both by steel panther so been listing to them loads. Although, the solos in DTABM are a bit out of my league at the moment :(
Here are the videos of the songs that I'm trying to learn at the moment:

On constant rotation currently:
Riverside - Shrine of New Generation Slaves
Clutch - Earth Rocker
Spiritual Beggars - Earth Blues
...also rediscovering Portishead (I only ever had Dummy)
Nothing ground breaking.
Black Keys, Raconteurs, Josh Homme ( I love his spur of the moment solo desert recordings, http://totalrandomnesshere.blogspot.com/2011/08/no-reservation-soundtrack-bourdain.html?zx=3896e6c7d490be8a (http://totalrandomnesshere.blogspot.com/2011/08/no-reservation-soundtrack-bourdain.html?zx=3896e6c7d490be8a)), Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly", solo Lindsey Buckingham, "Silk Degrees", Govt Mule.
My 4 y/o has discovered the White Album. Sexy Sadie is our theme song to go to Daycare. I love him.
Birds and Arrows (from North Carolina). Great folk rock/indie/harmony duo.

Vintage Rez, nice. Here's a story of the good being wasted on the young - I saw Glenn Kaiser put on a two hour solo set with just a dobro and a swiss army knife in a club of 40 people back in the day, only I was too much of a metalhead at the time to truly appreciate how phenomenal a performance it was. And twenty years later, still pretty much a metalhead, go figure.
Been revisiting a bunch of early King's X, Big Sugar, and the last two Max Webster albums. I get a Gamma jones on from time to time as well. I'm an old fart, what can I say.
Glenn Kaiser's sustain in that song makes my skin tingle.

I remember when Eric Gales was a 12 yo hendrix prodigy on the local news. He should have been huge. HUGE! But you must have the song people can't get out of their head. Eric Gales never scored that. sucks.
shout out for King's X. my favorite band I always forget about.
I don't enjoy Coldplay's last two albums. I still play the first two albums in the car. Love them. Is it me or is it them? :D
Them. After they got huge with Rush of Blood to the Head, they sucked afterwards. I almost liked the album that came out summer of like 2009...
Jacob
Coldplay may be like U2. If someone told me my two favorite U2 albums would be recorded in the 2000's I would not have believed them. How to Dismantle and All that you can't leave behind are amazing. I did not appreciate the Edge until I was older. A real artiste. The guy from Coldplay sounds pretty good without stomping on the songs.
I loved this while looking up something.

Back on topic: I was listening to "Emotions in Motion" by billy squire tonight white wiring a tele for a friend. Everybody Wants You was an awesome song. I saw him headline and Def Leppard opened for him before Pyromania was so huge. I was 12 and was snuck out by my cool cousin. I bought his ticket and got to sit between two high school girls with boobs in the backseat for the 2 hour drive to Nashville.
I heard a DJ once say Billy Squire released the two best Led Zeppelin albums of the 80's.
If that is true then Total Eclipse of the Heart was the best Rod Stewart son of the last 34/35 years.
(the hot guitars of) Biller and Wakefield. Both these guys used to be in Wayne Hancock's band. That guy goes through rad guitar players like John Mayhal on meth.
My kid just discovered pink Floyd, so Gilmour is constantly in the house. And I ain't complaining.;D
Jim Campilongo- all of his stuff is in rotation around here. I live everything he does, the fiance is enamored with the Little Willies (finally got to see them live, without having to travel to New York. They played the Roxy here in Hollywood.)

Wish I'd heard them years ago.
The sudden FEEDBACK in the album version startled the shit out of me, the first time I heard it, and then put a massive grin on my face.
The stuff they play on the radio ( my girl listens to the radio, I despise it) is really misleading about these guys (black keys), I reckon.
Gonna have to dig deeper and check them out. Sound really cool.

Well, since Jeff Hanneman died I'm listening to a shitload of Slayer (which my wife hates...) again, but we've spent last saturday night in a bar to celebrate my wife's birthday and they played a live version of 'Boy in the bubble' from Paul Simon's 'Graceland' (which we both love) so that album has been on non-stop rotation since then, and I'm not complaining! Might be a bit of a strange combination, but that's how my musical taste works..... A mate of mine works at the Amsterdam Opera as head of the stage-building department (best job ever!) so I get a lot of free tickets for that, and I must say I like it a lot, but not for listening at home!

Grace Potter - The Lion The Beast The Beat
Avantasia (saw their show live last week, A-Ma-Zing, Kiske for president)

Covering all bases as you can see ;)
New stuff (to me) that is on this week's listening list is Andy Summers & Ben Verdery "First You Build a Cloud" and James Blood Ulmer's "In and Out." Also, the CD that has been in my repeat listening position for the last few weeks is "Amanké Dionti" by Ablaye Cissoko and Volker Goetze:

Excellent taste, good sir. I'm an avid fan of both - Campilongo is partly why I'm a Princeton Reverb man and he sure knows his way tastefully around a Tele.
So here are the bands/artists that get the most play right now:
-
Dawes - Incredibly lyricism and refreshingly tasteful arrangements (new album in particular).
-
Justin Townes Earle - Has an authentic sound and nails the old timey styles while somehow managing to keep his lyrical content relevant today.
- Spirit Family Reunion[/b] - A gang from NYC who sound like they were raised on the set of O' Brother Where Art Thou.
-
Waylon Jennings - A classic and an icon, leather-bound Tele and all.
-
Father John Misty - Weird stuff lyrically but very well done.
This:
This album was before my time.... but damn its good!
Killer fuzz guitar tones too ;)
I'm sure I'm late to the party on this one.. just found it today and keep replaying it.
I think it's some of Josh Homme's best (assuming he get's the lions share of the credit).. albeit a little disturbing to watch.

A friend of mine just put out a new record that was produced by Matt Goldman (Underoath, Anberlin, Copeland). It takes a few listens because it's mostly non-repetitive. But it's been one of the best albums I've heard in a few years. You can stream the whole album for free on bandcamp:

He's a graphic designer, so he's also done some pretty sweet videos for some of the songs. There's a 3 video playlist on Youtube:
So far, my favorite track is the one from the second video,
Dead Sea. Although,
The Chalice has a pretty great chorus, IMO. Check 'em out though. I really dig them.

I was born in Torrance in 1963. Lived mostly in Fountain Valley and hung out in Huntington Beach. Moved to Nashville in 1980 and haven't looked back. Been visiting my 97 year old Grandma while here too. Been digging the weather since it is 90 and humid back home right now.
Planets Collide by Crowbar is heavy as hell, no real surprise. (Don't bother looking for live versions on Youtube, they've all had the bass neutered.)
What is surprising is how crushingly heavy Odd Fellows Rest is, from the same album (Odd Fellows Rest), despite being slow and really not much distortion at all.

I was around at my local luthier to get the LP checked out (tuning heads needed work, other than the intonation on 2 strings was allgood), and he showed me this video.
At one point, David says, "Watch his right hand here."
I reply, "I can't! The camera can't keep up!"
The division bell, a fine pink Floyd album
Hell of an album to go out on, that's for sure. High Hopes is one of my favourite PF songs.
My favorite Pink Floyd album too. High Hopes' intro still makes me thrill.
I have been enjoying Soft Kills new album. Reminds me of the stuff I used to play. Great memories of band practice 20 years ago...

Listening to Moby Grape's self-titled 1967 album. Great stuff!

I read a review in a magazine... I'm pretty sure it was Kottke... he plays fingerstyle and listens to that because a lot of his hearing disappeared in the Navy, and he wants to be careful of what is left of it.
It could be a different fingerstyle player.
Tommy Emmanuel is also a great fingerstyle player :)

Absolutely, I love the way Kevin Parker thinks as a producer/composer. Despite the retro leanings sonically, he thinks more like an electronic producer, almost a Kevin Shields-type mentality.
The National's new album is out.
Brilliant lyrics, but I'm not sure its up to the same standard as their last effort, High Violet.
I'm hoping it's a grower ;)

I agree with you.. I was disappointed for now but its going to get a few more listens before I judge.
I also came here to talk about the new National album...at first I felt it didn't quite stack up to High Violet either, but I've been listening to it at least once a day since it came out, and it's grown on me in a big way.
Just for contrast, High Violet (which I love) took a solid year to grow on me. So I'd say this one's ahead of the game.
Fun fact: my studio got a shout-out in the "thank you"s in the liner notes! The band came and used our space for rehearsals and writing for two weeks last year before heading upstate to start recording in earnest.

Joscho was running down the fretboard... ran out of frets, and kept going! Amazing...

A fulla on nzguitars posted this awhile ago. It's not guitar, but I really, really like it. Ambient taste to it, so don't listen to it when you're hyper :)
Haven't listened to it yet but up next, once everyone has vacated the listening room, the new Iggy Pop & the Stooges on vinyl, first new release on vinyl i've bought since the early 90's, comes with the full album on mp3 so i can go mobile.
Also picked up the new Queens on the Stoneage and Steve Earle's latest although those are on the lowly cd format.
Do people still buy music?
dave
Mr Josh Smith. (for the record: he uses 13-56 string gauge!)
Hm, is he a major Church of Tone user?
I am not able to listen to the clip now and verify but I think that's him, a fantastic player for sure!
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/mjmaran/IMG_2446-1.jpg)
He uses a Lovepedal tchula and the Amp Eleven (wich is said to be a Timmy and a COT in a box).
Most of Lovepedal youtube's channel demo have been made by him.
If you like hard rock, heavy metal, anything like that, and you've never heard this track... you will be kicking yourself for not hearing it years ago. I might have linked it earlier, but it bears repeating.
Just one tip -- do NOT look up live versions. Anselmo's voice does not do the clean-shriek-clean thing in this song quite so good anymore.
This guy was interviewed on "Q" his morning playing live throughout the show, absolutely knocked my socks off! Sings like Stevie Marriot/Paul Rodgers and slays the guitar, a good kick in the gut. Gives me chills...

Hi Jacob,
I was always more a 102.1 listener until they put a true dickhead on the morning and that was pretty much the end of commercial radio for me. This "Q" is the one on CBC so you i'm sure you can get it in your area as well. Pretty sure it'll be out as a podcast soon and will be going up on their youtube channel.
Reignwolf (Jordan Cook) the featured artist is from Saskatoon.
dave
Seriously! I'll have to watch for him around here.
I liked 102.1 when I was a teen (late 90's). Then I moved west. Best radio station I've ever listened to faitfully was the X92.9 in Calgary. My favorite feature - they had a 'no nickleback' policy. That's sort of a big deal in Alberta. Not that I think all Nickleback is terrible, but that it's way, way, WAY overplayed out in Western Canada.
The X always had a DJ you could talk to as well. I don't know how many times I had a 20 minute drive ahead of me, and I could call in and chat for 5 of it about 90's alternative music (best ever) with the guys there who lived, breathed and loved music.
Don't know if it's still the same, but my other T Dot friends who also lived in Calgary at the same time agreed, The Edge and Q107 were awesome in the 90's, but the X was way better.
Jacob
I hear a bit of very very raw young uninhibited Colin James in there... must be the lay of the land.
I go back to this album at least once a month. This is the one that jumped out at me last night.
Jacob
Keeping with the Canadian theme, ever since I picked up a 12 string electric, "Heaven's Coming Down" by the Tea Party has been in heavy rotation. Man I miss seeing them live, something about three pieces, Tea Party, Rush, King's X......
On the blues side, "Blues Deluxe" and "Had to Cry Today" by Joe Bonamassa are also in regular rotation on my drive to and from work (got to love Deerfoot in the morning).
I'll post a video for you Curt... Awesome song. Jeff Martin of Tea Party, like Ian Thornley from Big Wreck, is blessed with both a distinctive and excellent voice along with superior guitar skills. Man. I miss Toronto in the 90s.
Jacob
Yeah, can't wait for the new TP album later this year. And as much as I respect Ian Thornley's ability, he's got a long way to go to be Jeff. Hard to believe it's been nine years since new music though.
This one's a gimme, but what the hell. Django.
My luthier introduced me to Joscho and Emmanuel recently. I'm sure you saw my post.

On a Canadian note I've recently discovered The Weakerthans and quite like them. Might be worth checking out if you're into the indie/rock of the north.
On another Canadian note... I've been listening to Boards of Canada's new album recently.
Not many guitars on there, but they have their own unique (and often copied) sound.
Their music is always laidback, but there is always with a slightly sinister undertone IMO.

This probably one of those not too infrequent cases of my living in a cave, isolated from the rest of the knowing world, but I've just discovered Oz Noy. From stuff like the link below to some pretty outside, effects drenched jazz, I'm really enjoying listening to him. Also, his playing in the jazz quartet BANN is pretty incredible.

Good memories, man. When I lived in NYC in the mid to late 90s, I got to see Sonic Youth's various side projects quite often. I was lucky enough to meet them too. Also, I saw Yo La Tengo play for free at Union Square. Cyndi Lauper opened up

While I was on vacation, Alter Bridge's new album 'Fortress' came out. It arrived in the mail today, non-stop rotation for the entire weekend! I really like them
a lot! Mark Tremonti is a kick-ass guitarist, and their singer, Myles Kennedy, is one of my favorite voices in rock, and a very underrated guitarist.

Wrong. Totally wrong attitude. Don't get paralyzed by what's already been done, or what others do.
You can hold a guitar any way you want and do anything with it. (Well, until the neighbours call the police or get violent.)
But those two certainly do interesting things with their guitars. Not to speak of that Stick work.
I think that in last 10 years in Australia tones of great bands were founded.. I don't know if anyone likes this kind of music, but they just have potential. 12 foot ninja is one of ''youngest bands'' from that scene. There are bands like Karnivool, Birds of Tokio, Butterfly Effect, Thousand Needles In Red...

Just finished watching King Crimson live in France, 1982. Discipline tour.
I am not worthy to hold a guitar.
Fripp's comments starting at about 22:40 and through 26:15. I've also seen a couple of other interviews with him and read some where he talks about where he started in music and how he developed. I find it very interesting to hear how he views himself.
The whole documentary is fun to watch too.
People like the guys in KC, and many others, are audio artists. To simply call them guitarists is selling them short. I play guitar. Those guys paint beautiful masterpieces of sound. They just happen to use the guitar to do it.
It's something to aspire to.

Unbelievable! Forgot how good SRV was.
I couldn't figure out how to get a YouTube video in here.
+1 on the new Alter Bridge, it just kills.
But what's really turning my crank these days is the new Avenged Sevenfold. It's clear they were all conceived in the bathrooms at the 92 GNR\Metallica tour, but damn do they do it right. Granted, they can't write a lyric to save their lives, but This Means War is the twenty years later of Sad But True.
Really good couple of months for new music, with AB, AV7, Halestorm, and Stryper all releasing new material.
Mate at work loaned me 'Bricks Are Heavy'.
So is the album.
Dude. Alberto, you rip on that guitar man! Love the playing.

Yes, it's slow getting up to speed but worth it. He plays with a trio and just kills. His live performance I saw was phenomenal.

Here is their classic performance on TOTP
This past couple of weeks I've been on a FNM trip, especially the last 2 albums.
The more I learn about playing slide guitar, the more amazed at Derek Trucks I become. Guy makes his guitar sing like no other I've ever heard.
Jacob
Jacob, I have about 50 Derek Trucks live shows, and he is AMAZING on every one. He did play a bit more fusion style back in the late 90's/early 2000's..... and with the Allman brothers? Insane.
I'm kind of sad to see him mellow out with Tedeschi /Trucks band, tho. It's still great music, just not as wild and adventurous.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Wow, Jacob. Thanks for posting that video. I have an album to buy.
The Indian/Blues/Jazz fusion stuff he's done is really, really wild. I think he's perhaps one of the most incredibly humble and yet unbelievably talented guitarists I've ever heard. His playing is flawless, vocal, and the songs he plays are always great.
Brilliant player really.

Roadsongs is a perfect DTB album for a sampler of his playing

Emery. The harmony that these guys have always integrated into their music has always given me much inspiration. This latest album from 2011 actually featured the least use of harmony and secondary singer since their inception, but I was pretty blown away with how heavy it was. This album was by far the heaviest they'd done to this point. The double kick in this is pretty awesome. Video might give you epilepsy though.
Jacob
my two cents:
I love howe gelb's music ang guitar playing
wha wha galore
Bill Walker
Ray Montford
I need a reverb and a looper right now....
Mick Ronson.. I love his tone.
And prior to this clip showing up recently in an email.. I don't think Iv'e ever heard this before (I'm not a huge bowie fan).
The guitar just makes this for me.
That Derek Trucks track is something else. Superb playing.
No guitars on this, but it is the best 'pop' song I've heard for a while. The singer has a great, scottish tinged, voice to boot too!
I've been in a Bob Marley/Peter Tosh mood lately. Lots of interesting sounds in reggae.

Not just a great ambient album, I'd rank it as one of the greatest albums.
It always conjures up images of a vast forest, ancient, with sunlight obscured by dense canopy, with patches of swamp ("Tal Coat") interspersed with brief periods of clouded light ("Dunwich Beach") that even then appears grey, stormy, with wind building it up into great breakers.

Yep I love the bones brigade videos. Funny enough is that they are all connected somehow. If you watch the Institutionalized video you will see a young Mike Vallely and Rodney Mullen doing tricks in the background. And a fun fact: There was a Z-boy named Jim Muir who happens to be the brother of Mike Muir ;the lead singer of Suicidal Tendencies
On an unrelated note: Salba aka Steve Alba happens to have a famous sister with a fantastic fanny.......

Holy crap, you're YOUNGER than me?!
Weird thing: I didn't listen to any music in middle school. The radio only incidentally. I think the first full album I ever heard was Dookie. I still have the copy I first bought ... it's one of a handful of CDs that didn't get stolen when I moved back to Baltimore from Texas (I had a book of 300 CDs stolen out of my car when I went to an open mic just after getting home). Fortunately I went through a particularly snobbish folk phase and didn't bother taking that CD or most of my other 90s albums with me.
Yeah man.
Dookie, there's another great album. Anyone remember Seven Mary Three? Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Grammatrain, Alice in Chains... That whole group of Seattle bands was everywhere. In Canada it was I Mother Earth, Big Wreck, and the Tea Party.
Great years of great music.

A mate loaned me Eluveitie's _Everything Remains As It Never Was_. Really good, this. I like the acoustic stuff in it, how it juxtaposes with the heavy metal guitars.
You might know this song, but this is a cover version by Belgian band De Staat, they rock.
Paul
(in a couple of shots, you can see a boat load of pedals, I'll see if I can find out what the guy uses!!)
One of my all time favourite guitarists from a time before they invented security and bouncers. I think the audience is into it.
Something a little different...
And got to see these guys in the summer, brilliant! This is a joy to behold, how build a song to a climax!
A mate loaned me _Manala_ by Korpiklaani.
I'm loving all of it, so far, but I cannot understand a single word! (Kinda like Rammstein, except this is very strongly folkmusic flavoured.)

If there's one song you should listen to while building pedals
This is the song!
This totally reminds me of the band I was in with the guitar player from The Adolescents. They are called Cavemen Voicebox.
I think they have a cd out now here in the states......
Curt.
I've watched/listened to this about four times today.
It gets me every time.
I love this song. Whenever I think of it I end up listening on repeat which I rarely do. Incredible emotion.
Discovered this today:

I don't know if I have talk about this group before, but you have to listen to 'Screaming Headless Torsos', little more acid, but I think you could love them :)

Ed Sheeran! That dude is talented! 8)
I don't know if any of you guys listen to him and like him, but I do! ;D Maybe I like him so much, because I'm young! ::)
Enjoy!
EDIT: Good God! What did I post?? :o Sorry guys! ::)
Hector
Don't be ashamed, I like Ed as well. Did you see him perform at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics with some former Pink Floyd members? Fabulous......
Paul
Hey dudes awesome that you like Girls and Solarized, I am so glad :)
Screaming Headless Torsos have been one of my favorite bands of all time for a while now. Just a superb band with incredible musicianship and vocal skills. If that wasn't enough their creativity is like nothing out there. It is a shame they haven't produced more albums. If anyone knows about a band that's THAT much rooted in funk, and still have the guts to improvise, do an occasional punk riff and uses odd time signature hahaha, please let me know!
What am I listening right now -
These GODS had the decency to visit my country twice and my life has been changed ever since.

also got in love recently with the last John Scofield CD (Uberjam Deux) .This, together with some Charlie Hunter and a New Mastersounds record is what I put in the playlist I listen to every day during my walk to work.
I can't get past Jason Isbell for the last 6 months. This is songwriting. The guy is actually a pretty a amazing slide player as well, if you get hankering to check him out.
Maybe this one?
Been digging on Pillars of Fire and also Plini lately. Pillars is like super-heavy guitar god stuff, while Plini is like prog guitar god stuff.
Here's one of the Plini EPs I've been listening to:

I've got pretty much everything released by Drive by Truckers and to me the strongest albums are those with Jason Isbell, Decoration Day being a high point of those, great song! Good to read the other day that he's got his life back in check and moving forward nicely.
I'm assuming that's his wife playing fiddle?
You know what I love as well. JESU. Please tell me guys you love Jesu.
One of the first 45's i ever bought, (7" (17.78cm) round piece-a vinyl with a big hole) Fortunate Son by CCR. Still rocks hard... of course hitching your train to Dave Grohl doesn't hurt.

Been listening to Earth's Bees album, and it strikes me that if they ever make a movie out of Stephen King's "Gunslinger" books, this is totally the album they need for the OST.
I don't know where the accent is from, but it's pretty funny. One of the good bits is talking about the pawn sho--er, gee-tar store.

I can't get enough. Love their stuff.
I like the two latest Alice In Chains albums. Their new singer fits in well. Im going to see them at Austin City Limits Live in April. Can't wait.
On the other end of the spectrum I really like Keane. Saw them live recently and it was amazing. Their singer has a great voice and sounds really good live.

I can thank my dad for all the Chet Atkins exposure when I was younger. I loved the stuff he did with Mark Knopfler. I like when Chet talks and carries conversation when playing. He makes everything sound so casual.

Been working to this album all day
Came across them today on last.fm and picked up their album on Bandcamp called Guilty Of Everything.

right...they can play the dogshit out of their music but it never seems forced or showy. total mastery. lenny breau is like that too
Restoring my faith in the next generation.
Kids covering Tool's 46 & 2, which has got to be one of the toughest things to cover well and they are awesome. I like the way the kid gets Maynard's vocal nuances, and that little smile she gives when she nails it. The drummer is really into it.

It's a very twisted take on ambient ukulele music :) Here's an excerpt of it:
Hope you will enjoy it as much as I had.
I'm all over the place but I've been pretty into iron chic, elway, sundowner, and red city radio lately. Reminds me of about 15 years ago. (And I'm 29. Lol)
I just got "the greatest story ever told" by the Lawrence arms on vinyl and I'm loving it. One of my favorite albums.
Michael Yonkers...modified guitar and home made effects from the late 60s. Awe inspiring...
There's only one song out officially right now, but the album drops on the 14th of March and from what I've heard thus far, it will be in heavy rotation for me.
The band is KXM - George Lynch, Doug Pinnick (King's X), and Ray Luzier (Korn). The music is as good or better then Dogman, which is my favourite King's X album hands down. The drumming is insanely tribal, and George is, well, George.
There's another Lynch project coming out later this year with Michael Sweet (Stryper). That is going to be some killer old school shred metal. If only I could grow my hair back as opposed to my back hair.

Right now its post-rock / mathy stuff. I guess mostly because just started a new band that's in that vein, and thats where my mind is at right now

These guys are friends of mine, they are great. The older stuff is free to download and it's all brilliant IMO. Take 1.5 min and listen to "Punk as F" off the first album. You'll enjoy. :-)

I think i've never posted in this thread.. but i scroll it most of the time and you guys made me discover plenty of really good stuff, thanks for that :)
This might be on the heavy side for some... but if you like Entombed, Dismember and other «KrustDeath» in the like.. you'll probably dig this... Discovered that this weekend, that bass tone and how it Chunks up the guitars is simply delicious!
Loving that Black Breath album ever since it went out. Great stuff, it is rarely that I like a heavy album nowadays because everything sounds so overproduced and just copied and already heard, but that one I liked.

Cool, same thing here... most of the metal i listen too is stuff from 1998 to 2005... everything after is not music, but production. Couple band get out of the lot, but they are rare, sadly. That's why i'm a lot into GrindCore, Krust and all out fuzzy doom/sludge/stoner... it's raw! :)

There's just something about that record I love. The production is outstanding.
After guitar geeks everywhere were trying to figure out how he got all those cool tones, it also turns out he DI'd most of the guitars for the album ;D

OK, so the KXM disc is out today.

Absolutely agree!
I am jamming to "Dark Night of the Soul" that was written by Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse that accompanies a book from David Lynch. It's a dark, psychedelic, lofi-ish record with some great guitar sounds as well as mellotrons, orchestrons, etc. There are many great artists on this record, too many to name. It was available years ago as a free download because there was some dispute with the record label. It was the last stuff Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) put out before he committed suicide. This won't be everyone's cup of tea but if you like this sort of dark, lofi stuff definitely check it out!! The tunes are actually quite catchy.

Didn't follow much post grunge because I was burned out of it when those bands came along. Probably the last band of the "post" stuff I got into was Tool. I still love Tool today.

I still maintain it's good.
I saw Earth when they came to Wellington last year/year before maybe?

Death - black punk band from Detroit in the 70s
Ali Farka Toure
Tool - my favorite band when I was in my late teens. I discovered lots of other music and kind of went away from Tool but I've been listening to them a lot more lately.
I just saw Death last weekend...they were great.
I need the little emoticon of the guy doing the "We're not worthy" bow.
The whole album that's from is on youtube, too.
Nice song Jon, some great vocal harmonies. Not usually what I would go for but sucked me in to the end of the song!
Edit: Ill take this thread title literally and post what im listening to at this moment. I like doom, still not sure about this band though, might take some time to get used to the tempo. Slow even for doom if you ask me:
Edit again: If you make it past the first 30 seconds you get a prize
The 90s super group you never knew. Members of this band went on to play with Paul McCartney, Air, and write songs for Disney.

I actually remember them. They were the opening band when I saw the Black Crows over 20 years ago.
They had a minor hit with Glutton Of Sympathy, IIRC.

This was cool. Plus, drummer lead singer.
I was also listening to these guys earlier this week for a review. Sort of Smiths-style new wave mashed up with riff rock like the Strokes.

Here's my review of the album in The Owl Mag, where I did my best to avoid the exact comparisons I made in the previous paragraph.
http://www.theowlmag.com/album-reviews/crooked-kisses-by-jupe-jupe/
One of the first 45's i bought was Mississippi Queen by Mountain, first album i bought with my own money was Black Sabbath's Paranoid. Forty years on Mountain and Ozzy get together to cover Bob Dylan... skeptical to say the least... pleasantly surprised.

I'm a big fan of The Flatliners, their newest album is not quite as heavy as their past work, but still very solid.
Edit: reminds me a bit of SAMIAM Matt, might have to give it a listen, good stuff.

Is it a waterfall? Is it a crowd cheering? Is it an idle vintage Big Muff going through a wall of Marshall half-stacks? I really like the part around 3:10. Epic tone...
Load up Audacity and go to 'Generate', then pink noise. You might have to lower the pitch a few semitones, though.
I discovered how to upload music to the server we had at work, connected to the speakers that provide sound to all the office.
Progressive rock is today's mood!
Johnny passed through town in March and played a small club which you could not get tickets into... but did see him at Maple Leaf Gardens a year after this was filmed... totally blazed, this band gets it.
This was a fun listen this afternoon.

Talent like this blows me away. This guy must have started music when he was like 6 months old.
I hate to be a skeptic, but something makes my ear say, "MELODYNE!" in those thick, dissonant chords. In any case, it's a much better use of time than picking on his little sister or scribbling on the walls. Bravo.

yeah, I wondered the same. Then I figured who cares cause it would still take a ton of talent to orchestrate all that. The harmonies sounded like they were too spot on to be "not touched"
One of those days already... :(
Been listening to The Wipers...just got The Herd on vinyl.
the last couple days had my vinyl of this compilation on repeat:
http://www.discogs.com/Various-New-Orleans-Funk-The-Original-Sound-Of-Funk-1960-75/release/387454
A superb documentary. Three very amazing musicians. Jimmy Page, The Edge, Jack White. 1hour and 38 minutes of them listening to music, playing each others, and just shooting the shit. At some point each one of them is engrossed by what one of the others is playing and is trying to learn it. Something to be learned here from all of them. Jack White builds a slide setup in the first 30 seconds with some scrap wood, a glass bottle, some nails and a pickup. Is it my style? No. Is it freaking awesome? Yes.
+1...I really enjoyed this movie. Did you notice this?

I've posted vids by one of my favourite bands, Big Wreck, before. This is the newest track from an upcoming album that comes in 2 weeks. Anyway, track is killer, a little different than the classic Big Wreck I love. Bass has a killer set of lines in there, and then there's a big guitar solo you guys'll love.

The Warriors sample at the beginning is, um, an interesting choice, but I'm liking the music.
Just bought the Rome CD.
A collaboration between Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi.
It's a modern interpretation of the soundtrack music from 60s and 70s Italian Films (eg. Spaghetti Westerns, Horrors, Cop films etc.).
The sounds and production on the album are awesome.
Oh and it has Jack White singing on it (always a bonus).
http://www.idreamofwires.org/ (http://www.idreamofwires.org/)
Hugely fascinating, this. (The telephone synth lady was the only boring, boring part, for me.)
Guitar pedals are mentioned. Partly to show how pedal graphics tend to transition to Eurorack modules, and partly as manufacturers complaining that guitar players are so conservative, you can't sell them anything new. Only three knobs are wanted, and they have to be volume, gain, and tone.
Lots of great interviews. Subotnick, Reznor, Eric Barbour, Depeche Mode, Node... the list goes on and on!
Some Andy Timmons stuff. Crazy good player.
This badass EP I engineered in March for a band called Primes. Pretty rockin'.

This is bloody brilliant. Sounds like it belongs in Earth's "Phase 3" album!
This is a good 'un. I was wondering what all the other instruments in the background were for until the end.
Don't know why but this song popped into my head this morning. Now it won't leave!
Saw him tonight in their normal trio configuration ... it's getting tougher and tougher to see him for free (for good reason). Probably my favorite male local singer. I can't express how jealous I am of his voice.

Still bloody amazing.
Unless you're from around here, this won't make much sense. The last thing I listened/watched on YouTube...
That said if I were a church with a $250,000 effigy of Jesus that was stuck by lightning, I'm not too sure I'd rebuild it...
The new mezingers record
The new chuck ragan record
Choking victim - no gods no managers
ZZ Top - duguello
The new against me!
I've been revisiting old-ish Goo Goo Dolls. For all the sappy ballad stuff they're now known for (some of which I dig too, I'm secure enough to admit it ;) ), the Superstar Carwash / A Boy Named Goo era had some straight up tones.
I've also been listening to a lot of Matt Pond PA, Morning Parade, and The Gaslight Anthem.
Have been building all morning to some old Cocteau Twins. I remember in Highschool I would go weeks with listening to nothing but Cocteau Twins. I am still a huge fan... I mean.. Who doesn't like Maj7 chords and delay, chorus and reverb.

In my favourite cd store in Toronto his afternoon looking for a cd by an Australian artist who's on a compiltion my wife brought home, can't remember her name but know her last name starts with 'b'. Go through the 'b's nothing but i do have her name written in my notebook... if i can find it. Eventually find the misplaced book find her name take a step towards the counter to inquire and bang... from the shop speakers the song from the compilation... how do these things happen?

Started listening again to Steve Vai's "For the love of God". Blows me away.
It humbles you, sometimes, to realise what emotion can be wrung from half a dozen lengths of alloyed steel.
Some people hate this version. I love it. Can't tell you why.
^The Lou Reed is great!
Picked up an old compilation by this band at the library today, for anyone that only knows Hugh Dillon as a shaved headed cop on TV... a previous life.
New Zealand group. The harmonica player uses a porch board, in their non-instrumentals the woman with the tambourine sings (very well!) I've got their 45 somewhere. The belt on my player is stuffed, so I still haven't heard it!
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/13/StarfireBurningUpontheIce-VeiledThroneofUltimaThule.JPG/220px-StarfireBurningUpontheIce-VeiledThroneofUltimaThule.JPG)
Bal Sagoth's album "Starfire Burning Upon The Ice Veiled Throne Of Ultima Thule" (I am not making that up.)
It's probably safe to say they do the most EPIC power metal, ever.

Mate from work loaned me Jakob's self-titled CD. Bloody hell this is good stuff, groove for days here!
Also loaned me Twang! A Tribute To Hank Marvin And The Shadows. Blackmore and May's tracks were quite underwhelming, especially compared to Knopfler and Iommi.
On of my current favorite bands out of Nashville.
Caught Oshkosh's The Traveling Suitcase at the Green Bay pride festival a couple weeks ago, so I've been checking out their tunes. Gotta love badass singing drummers!

Just discovered these guys a couple of days ago. They were playing at a venue not too far from me, but I couldn't make the show. I looked them up on the 'tube to see if they'd be worth going to see. I've pretty much been sitting here listening and blown away since.

This guys are awesome. Their version of Scapegoat Blues (Jimmy Herring) is almost better than the original.
Went to San Sebastian to see this guys on Wednesday:
What a band! Astounding cohesion, tempo and feeling, plus they know how to make the audience move.
I slept in the car, but it was worth.
Rarely pay any attention to lyrics but Patterson Hood's stories and characters are too delicious to ignore, also love the splatty compressed guitar that weaves it's way throughout.
I like some Converge and old Norma Jean «noise core» stuff... last week as i was scrolling in an old external HD i stumbled on this album that i had totally forgot... some might say that it was a good thing to forget it.... but i just can't stop listening to it.
The intro is realllllly long, once it kicks in.. it KICKS! Love that stuff.. very dark and some of the riffing is plain amazing (for the genre).

Heavy? Dark? No, this stuff is the material at the very heart of a black hole. I like it! Actually, I normally really don't like the grunting, yelling, screaming, low vocals, but there's something about these that are different. I can't really say what it is and I can't imagine what it does to his throat to do this. Good stuff.

Huh, I kinda expected the first youtube clip to have a very strong Dylan Carlson Earth 'feel' to it. Nice enough song for country, the singer is definitely talented.
The second clip, OTOH, is not available "in your country". I've never understood the rationale behind that -- all I get is this xenophobic "We kant let dem faahners a-listen tah AUR mooo-sic!"

Probably due to licensing and who owns the various different rights. We used a small clip from a commercially released song in a charity related video and even with the very generous help of the artist, it took a bunch of work and letter writing to get the ability to use it in all the markets. Each market had to be done separately. Youtube may have a complaint for the copyright in some markets on that video.
Reminds me of the old region locking for DVDs.
End result of that was that cheap Chinese DVD players with NO region code sold better than expensive singing and dancing ones that could only play one region.
Also reminds me of how NZ used to (read: USED TO) get TV series one or two (or three) years AFTER the rest of the world. TVNZ and TV3 cottoned on to the fact that they were losing viewers who didn't want to wait a year (and downloaded the show instead), so now we get series in a slightly more timely fashion.

On the subject of Frisell (one of my favs too), I thought this was a fun clip,

:D, I'm at 12 minutes in now. I think there's a tune there. It's just
very slow. I think I'm going to have to find the lyrics though. The pace is too much for my aging brain to remember the words from the beginning of a line to the end.
Edit: Finished listening now. It takes a bit to settle in to the sonic beating, but I enjoyed the whole thing really. The last track is really nice.

Thanks for sharing this..
Another big Frisell fan here.
One of my favorites of him. I could sit down and listen to him tell stories and play guitar all day long
And that Carr Sportsman... sheesh.
Ordered a few Drive-By Truckers albums. (_Decoration Day_, _Southern Rock Opera_, and _The Dirty South_), based on the songs linked in this thread.
I love how the songs linked create a vivid scene in your mind, of the rough man cooking hooch in the woods with the Man after him, of the priestly vicar preaching in the town, with an abused wife behind him. Music should be more than just another shallow bubblegum love song.
^ Alan, you chose very well... enjoy!
Hood often writes of these really really nasty characters doing bad things and writes them in the first person.
dave
today was a Sleater Kinney day
I think I listened to this album all the way through 3 times in a row this afternoon ;D
Love this (from the Sound City soundtrack). I just want Reznor, Homme and Grohl to do a project/album together if this is the sort of thing they can come up with. You can hear all three's very distinctive input into the track and it's just bloody brilliant.
Picked up This album today and I am really enjoying it.
Cody
Earth's track "Andromeda 1" from _Split with KK Null_ would make a Magos from the Adeptus Mechanicus jizz. It's even more non-organic than late Autechre.
It's Saturday Night, rock on!
Digging this at work right now

Thanks to the opening credits of the movie "This is England", I'm a fan of Toots and the Maytals. This is a great track:

and this:
I want to build a lapsteel guitar now!! any suggestion?
There was a combined service today with Bishop Justin (he of bare feet and dreadlocks, I am not kidding.) The pipe organ in the old church (Christchurch, Wanganui) was used in a few.
The sheer power and physicality of the pipe organ never fails to humble me. You can feel it in your feet, and your soul.
This song is everywhere around here these days, and I can't get it out of my head.
I thought I'd make you suffer too.

Both of these are great. The second one made recall these guys that I came across a few years back,
I've wanted to build a lap steel for a while now too. I've got the pickup waiting for it as soon as I get around too it. I figure it can't be too hard to do. It's pretty much just a chunk of flat wood. It's the learning to play it part that has me nervous :D.
I loved both of these bands and was sad to hear when they broke up. Now the lead singer from Thrusday and the former member from LostProphets have formed a "New Order" / new wave group! awesome stuff you should all give it a listen!
Black tide, "that fire"
Man, this is awesome. Amazing guy and band. His Rhodes and Hohner Clavinet combo is just too good. Looks like some kind of Mutron on top too.
Quote from: jimilee on August 13, 2014, 01:44:29 PM
True story
"Puttin' People On The Moon" is a very angry song. And you can see why, very clearly.
"Tornadoes" is very low key, for the devastation they can cause.
"Cottonseed" demands a movie made around it, damn this is cool.
"Daddy's Cup" I'm a bit ambivalent about. On the one hand, he's just racing in an oval. No hairpin bends, no follow-through, nothing fancier than a stretched circle. But it's still very, very compelling. (Richard Hammond did a segment on NASCAR on Top Gear. Clark introduced him for it as "Richard J Cheeseburger Hammond the Third".)
The blues don't get much better than this...
Lately... it's a whole lot of Jason Isbell and Noah Gunderson. Two of the best storytellers through song out there today.
I rediscovered my love for This Will Destroy You. The first album uses lots of delay, so that kept me busy with my ZPSDX this weekend. Just fyi, there's a new record to be released early September.
I just discovered this was leaked... sorry for them (except if it was marketing)
On a road trip I pulled out Jack Logan's "Mood Elevator" which I hadn't listened to in years. Unlike much of his recorded output, which can be wildly inconsistent, this one is great from start to finish. Literate alcohol infused stories of separation, sadness and regret, with desperate rock n' roll being one's means of coping and surviving.
Hadn't heard this in quite some time and it popped up on my ipod this afternoon, a Bob Mould fave... anguish and despair.
Saw this on Letterman a while ago. Great guitar playing by performers that actually seem to be having fun. The fact that Gabriela is incredibly hot is just a bonus.
I like the Greenleaf. Thanks!

I'm really digging these guys, what a cool sound they have all around.
Good one cody.. bad for my wallet thought.
Any
Interpol-Fans here? The new album came out today (at least in Europe). I really enjoy their unique sound that kinda stayed similar over 12 years now. I often find that when bands change their style/genre I tend to not enjoy them as much. I have to state one statement of a local radio station though: "it's weird how little you hear/feel the absence of Carlos D." (their former bassist)
Anyhow, here's the first spin-off:

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give them a listening this evening (I need to prepare some boxes for etching :P).
Other guys I'm digging a lot lately are Causa Sui (from Denmark). I love their infinite jams :)
Jean Shepherd's radio show from the 60s - he's the basis for A Christmas Story (Ralphie, BB gun). It's on archive.org. Pretty funny, interesting glimpse on life in the US, 50 years ago. And tons of hilarious cigarette and beer commercials.

Listening to Incubus S.C.I.E.N.C.E , that album will always sound refreshing to my ears i think.
BLMS's (no affiliation except customer) Lawrence Scaduto sent out a mailing list link this morning for his song-a-month album "TUFF NOOGIES": http://youtu.be/no9S0TYGXYw (http://youtu.be/no9S0TYGXYw)
I had no idea what to expect, but I'm really liking it! I guess he's not just about great service!

You don't like Rock 'n' Roll?
Wow, Ocean Colour Scene. Funny I was just playing Up on the Downside on guitar yesterday.
A friend from Wellington NZ (of Lebanon, IIRC) recommended Nurse With Wound's "Salt Marie Celeste".
Excellent gothic drone, quite creepy.
Detroit rock! Dave West the maker of these Amps and the guy behind West Labs, has had some major health issues this year. Can only hope... I think Jacob had been in contact with him about his offerings.
http://www.detroitrocknrollmagazine.com/2014/02/get-well-dave-west.html
So a little tribute to his work... found this, back in high school we use to blast this in a friends backyard, over and over... the neighbours loved us. No idea what the guitar is, sounds as good now as it did then!
Listening to Deadmau5 and Melleefresh's "Hey Baby (Original Mix)" right now, and it occurs to me that if you could bottle that lead synth into a bass pedal and sell it, you'd be a rich man.
Not going to link it here -- the vocal track is pretty damn filthy.

Jacob could be interested in it.
Tides Of Man: Young and Courageous
Their singer left to be in Dance Gavin Dance and they decided to continue on as an instrumental band. Great move on their part. I thought the singer was holding them back. But, check it out for yourself.
Lately these two songs have been on first in the morning to get in me in the right headspace at my work.... after that I can listen to anything else.
By a fellow Kiwi player. Really nice guy, had the pleasure to play with him at a gig for a few songs once and he ended up buying two of my pedals.
Good memories.

I love all the retro-soul bands that are out there now. I saw that others already posted about St. Paul and the Broken Bones, but I saw them last night at the Paradise in Boston. Reminds me of the soul band I was in back in high school in the 60s. They even opened and closed with 2 songs we did - Sly's "Sing a Simple Song", and Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness". Great show.

I've been listening to this all week. Live & on the CD they have a guy playing B3 & keyboard. These videos look like live performances, but minus the keyboard player. Their singer looks like John Candy, but sounds like Otis Redding.
Their hit 'Call Me' plus a few other songs:

Been listening to a lot of Wooden Shjips lately. I do like my psychedelic rock.
Nu-Metal buzz... lol
The bass line in that song is pretty cool... gives all the melody to the heavyness...
Machine Head... listened to that album way too much when younger. Total abuse of FX in that song but really well blended in the guitar lines.... and... Groovy!!!
And this... probably the best punk/hardcore album of the 90's... from wich there's still plenty of influences heard in todays music... such ground breaking in that time.
Refused - what an absolute classic. Thanks for the reminder!
LD 50 and The Burning Red were great albums!
that Refused album still blows my mind. When ever I put it on I always think that if this record came out today it would still be ahead of its time. Its pretty amazing when the stars align and bands are able to make something from front to back that is so darn special to some many people and so many thriving scenes.

Sometimes you just need a little 90s inspired gangster rap about getting drunk & BBqing with Santa Claus in Los Angeles (specifically Venice Beach) to get into the Holiday Spirit.

That's my good friend Anthony playing the Jaguar! You might be interested in his own band, The Building - we made this record a few years ago and will be recording the followup later this winter: https://thebuilding.bandcamp.com/album/the-swooshy-businessman
The first time I heard it, I just 'Meh.' Now I cannot get this out of my head. Been playing along this afternoon. Gah.

Same here. I had started watching a gig on youtube and found them very boring, then later stumbled on another one that was really great, was probably shot better ... I find it really cool that he is gigging with his boy.
That said I'm really curious what Wilco will come up with next...

Me too, time is running.. And I hope this won't happen ever again to any musician..
fuzz & metal, but not the kind of metal your thinking of
EDIT: I just realized sonarchotic shared this band earlier.... my bad :P
Do they have bogans outside New Zealand?
The song starting at 4:40... is all the awesomess of crushing everything, HM2 on bass and guitar... Killa!

Seems like a cool duo by the way. Digging the vocal effects.

Royal Blood, relatively new band from the UK.
2 piece, oddly a drummer and singer/bassist, the bassist uses something like a pog and pitch shifter with split signals going to bass and guitar amps

Female- Canadian version- next door, yeehaw, such a pleasure!
There is something about this that I cant stop listening to ...
One man, one guitar and a tape echo with a song called Big Muff circa 1978... just brilliant, belongs in here.
Saw John Martyn in a dingy basement club in Toronto in the early '80's.
Sure there's cheesy nostalgia at work, but I bet you tap your feet!
Nice to see them pull it off live, but Jeff Lynne was always a pretty ace producer.
Gradually working my way through the concert ...

10 years ago from this day, one of my favorite musician/songwritter passed away...
Sure it's just swedish grindcore... but they carried a lot with them.
RIP Mieszko :(
Can't stop listening to this song since a couple of days
Good stuff, this thread is.
I just discovered this band about two weeks ago and they quickly rose to the top of my playlist. The guitar player, Josh Martin, is incredible. You can listen to all their songs at their website. http://www.littletybee.com/ (http://www.littletybee.com/)
Here's a youtube vid. I'm through and through a metal/heavy rock/classic rock/stoner dude by nature, but I think traveling around in a hippy bus as a child with my parents to Grateful Dead and bluegrass shows is starting to come to light. The guitar player reminds me of this new wave of techy prog-metal players, but he does it in a way that melds really well with this folky/rippin' stuff. Basically everything I like in a cute, well defined package. Enjoy!
Standout from one of the interesting comps my wife gave me for Christmas.

This might sound heretical, but lately I'm finding Trent Reznor's later releases (_The_Slip_, _With_Teeth_, _Hesitation_Marks_) more interesting than his earlier stuff.
I also find the same for Lynyrd Skynyrd, their more rockier/heavier stuff appeals more than the countrified stuff that gets constant airtime.
I am on an (albeit indirect) George Lynch kick these days, as KXM is still heavy in rotation for me (though I think George brings the least to that trio, Ray Luzier and Dug Pinnick just seem to lock in for the entire project), and Sweet&Lynch is getting some serious play (but I can't watch any of their videos, Michael is by far my favourite singer ever, but the guy looks so awkward when he shoots a vid).
Home sick and building to this

A Swedish band that I discovered just couple of weeks ago. What a great sludge rock band! Amazing fuzz tones throughout, great solos, inspiring singing and the production is just right for this type of music. Enjoying em a lot as of late.
Oooh, like that. 8)
Chicks who rock:
All of those years listening to post punk and hardcore haven't left my preferences, I guess. Also been listening to Wilco and Tweedy, though, to keep my Dad rock credentials in place.
For those Finch fans...They released a new Album. It's pretty good.

The train of logic was listening to _Drive By Truckers_' "The Day John Henry Died", and wondering who else did a song about him.

Love M. John Hurt! If you've picked up an acoustic in the south you've probably learned some version of John Henry. There are a ton of great versions and variations out there and people take words from it all the time for other songs.
I've heard that early versions of the song where a work song that referred to the singer's prowess in bed. Which makes it funny when the lady at the end asked why John's hammer was so big ;)

Tera Melos (ear porn for pedal junkies)
The Wytches (like a psychedelic reverb drenched Nirvana)
Ty Seegal - Twins. (some great fuzz tones on this album)
We're About 9's
Future Pilot.
The album was a kickstarter project that I gave to without selecting a reward ... I usually do that for local artist's albums, since I figure I'll see them soon enough and buy the CD at their next show. Unfortunately, in this case, they didn't play a trio show in Maryland for over a year! I saw them last night at the place I met them in 19 frigging 99 at a Baltimore Songwriter's Association open mic.
Different show/venue, but this is one of their best songs off the new album.

I totally agree: for me it's literally mind blowing: listening to this makes me so energized i jump all around and get aboslutely crazy. All parts are powerful and beautiful, beyond words, and the polyrythms used are really incredible.
Tigran is an amazing piano player (as in he played beatles and led zepplin songs when he was 3, and was noticed by world class jazz musicians such as herbie hankcock, wayne shorter and others when he was 12, try to read the wikipedia page about him, and/or look for 'tigran hamasyan documentary' on youtube). He basically has everything: energy, technique, classical feel, incredible jazz phrasing, mastery of complex rythms, incredibly beautiful compositions, integration of traditional music, complete freedom, and most importantly, musicality and taste.
If you like this, you can listen to the project played in this concert on spotify, it's called shadow theater, and i find that all the other albums are also great, even if more jazz oriented (long solos, no singing). The one i particularly like at the moment is called 'red hail', he basically mixes jazz parts with huge polyrythmic riffs played on the piano, doubled by a metal guitar.. mind blowing again..
Glad someone else likd this music ...

If you like these guys you have to like Snarky Puppy too. I saw them play live past year and it was awesome, people actually danced to their music!! in a Jazz concert!! :P
There are many great jazz festivals in france btw, and no so expensive.

Nice! Killer band from Quebec... if you go back 8 or 9 years ago, my band 112Kills rehearsal room was in a complex where they also had a studio running by my good friend Yannick St-Amant (Despised Icon). In the time we had our local there, he had recorded 2 of the Despised Icon album, one Ion Dissonnance and the first full length album of Beneath the Massacre after their first EP. Our band was essentially a mix of Cephalic Carnage/Origin/DyingFetus/Suffocation... and we would be there jamming every damn day.... all the guys in those bands where chilling in our local drinking/smoking.. relaxing you know... and we would get to jam with them... DespisedIcon singers would come jam with us before they do their track and we would also help BTM drummer to heat up before his tracking time... very good times that was. Most brutal era of my life! ;D

Damn Rej! I knew those guys were from your neck of the woods but I didn't realize there would be such an awesome story tying you to them! That must have been a lot of fun! I remember seeing BTM on the summer slaughter tour in 2009 and they were Great! I was so pumped to see Necrophagist that night but I was working at a summer camp at the time and there was a midnight curfew and we had to drive from albany back into the catskills. Plus I had my nose broken in the pit during Winds of Plague. lol. I had two black eyes and my face was so swollen. Good times! lol.
And for a while I had Immaculate from Despised Icons first album as my ringtone in high school. It's amazing the looks you get when your phone goes off and there are gutteral vocals coming out instead of a ringer. lol. Since then I have kinda fell out of the scene but miss those days of going to shows.
I wish soundcloud worked properly on Opera 12. (The new version of Opera, among other lovely nonfeatures, thinks that no one uses bookmarks, and if you're one of those weirdo's who do, then go download a plug in for it.)

After all that time i'm still involved in those events, working as a tech... i don't think i could stop going there, the raw energy of those concerts can't be found anywhere else.
So this whole thing made me think of the old days (rofl), around 2001-2002 i was playing in a BlackMetal band called Cryptik Howling, with them i played a good load of concert, recorded a 2 song demo and actively participated to the writing of their first album. I then sold the bass rig i had to a bassman i had choosen (that was funny), thought him all the songs and got him ready for studio... as i was suppose to move in MTL with my gf and it then fucked up with her...... lol
Anyway, i'm a bit shy now of those songs... but back 10-12 years, i was very proud of what i was doing there.
This first one, i wrote entirely other than the closing riff...
Was lots of fun with the corpse paint and blood spitting on stage... lml

Damn Rej! I knew those guys were from your neck of the woods but I didn't realize there would be such an awesome story tying you to them! That must have been a lot of fun! I remember seeing BTM on the summer slaughter tour in 2009 and they were Great! I was so pumped to see Necrophagist that night but I was working at a summer camp at the time and there was a midnight curfew and we had to drive from albany back into the catskills. Plus I had my nose broken in the pit during Winds of Plague. lol. I had two black eyes and my face was so swollen. Good times! lol.
And for a while I had Immaculate from Despised Icons first album as my ringtone in high school. It's amazing the looks you get when your phone goes off and there are gutteral vocals coming out instead of a ringer. lol. Since then I have kinda fell out of the scene but miss those days of going to shows.
After all that time i'm still involved in those events, working as a tech... i don't think i could stop going there, the raw energy of those concerts can't be found anywhere else.
So this whole thing made me think of the old days (rofl), around 2001-2002 i was playing in a BlackMetal band called Cryptik Howling, with them i played a good load of concert, recorded a 2 song demo and actively participated to the writing of their first album. I then sold the bass rig i had to a bassman i had choosen (that was funny), thought him all the songs and got him ready for studio... as i was suppose to move in MTL with my gf and it then fucked up with her...... lol
Anyway, i'm a bit shy now of those songs... but back 10-12 years, i was very proud of what i was doing there.
This first one, i wrote entirely other than the closing riff...
Was lots of fun with the corpse paint and blood spitting on stage... lml
Those songs are Badass Rej! No reason to be shy about them.
Yeah I miss those shows man! My problem is I live in the middle of nowhere and the nearest venue is an hour an a half away. Plus everyone I used to go to shows with has either moved or gotten hooked on smack. Plus most of the good bands have stopped touring or broken up. Although I am pretty pumped for The Red Chord at New England metal and hardcore fest. Actually I should start making plans for that show.

New Elder Album! Destroying the workbench to this tonight.

What?!?!? Torche has a new album?! Man, I gotta jump on that ASAP
In the meantime this has been turning in my head all day long, haven't been this taken with a melody for quite some time

Been digging on some live Puscifer. Love anything MJK does but man these guys are just great.
Been listening to old cracker, the kerosene hat album

I guess here would be the place where I dump my own music too. I did a couple ambient/post-rock/avant garde albums for fun. I am not really sure what to label it. There isn't much in terms of tempo, but there is a melodic center to each track. I essentially played a bunch of different stuff over a chord progression and then tweaked and stretched the tracks until it was almost unrecognizable. It could be interesting to use as background noise. The first album has Dropanchor812 on bass and other noisemakers as well as another friend. The second album is all me. If someone really wants to own this for some reason but doesn't want to pay anything for it, PM me, and I can make something happen!

Been listening to D'Angelo's (relatively) new album Black Messiah.
It was reviewed as something of a 'masterpiece' of RnB, so I thought I'd check it out.
The production and beats on it are amazing, and the songs growing on me. It's nice to listen to something different for a change.
The bass is also lowwww and funky... Pino Palladino is some bass player. Not bad for a lanky white welsh guy ;D

This thing is outrageously good! Never heard of the guys before
currently listening to:
East Brunswick All Girl Choir
(neither all girl, nor a choir)
I had their first album, lost it in a harddrive crash, and forgot them for a while. recently grabbed both their albums and been listening to little else the last two weeks
Sad-guy angsty country-ish, some pretty great noise guitar layered under the prettiness, great dynamic shifts, and that voice...
one more:
Just some really good pop rock. These guys are going places.
Fun fact for anyone who listened to CCM music over the last few decades, the singer and drummer are two of Steven Curtis Chapman's kids.

The bass player hangs out on OSG, built the bass in the video above, has a nice build thread about it there.

Saw PILE last night in Louisville and it pretty much ruled. I don't listen to a lot of this loud stuff these days, but these guys are excellent enough to be the exception.

Drop the 's' in the 'https' address and you should be good to go.
From the "Why did I overlook that album for so long" files:
A bit of a different pace for a guitar forum, but Hilary Hahn is worth checking out if you like violin music.
Here she is playing one of my favorite pieces, Bach Partita No.3 in E Major.
In the end, I probably still prefer Perlman's rendition, but Hahn's near flawless technique is amazing to listen to. She never seems to hit a bad note. The Chaconne is worth checking out as well.
Back in the days where Mastodon where truly the shizznit!
Beside being a long time Doors and Pink Floyd fan, now i'm on these moods...
And from a Portuguese singer/one man band...
No, i don't like blues/rock-n-roll/rockabilly :D
Covering the Betty Davis songbook (Mrs. Miles), almost as funky as the original, powerhouse vocalist... proficient enough guitarist.
Swamp-a-billy, great guttural harmonica.
70's Japanese garage/surf guitar workout.
Some cool sh#t there Dave really dig the Mahalia Barnes one.
The swampy stuff is cool too.
89.9 FM, Columbia University radio
Every morning is Bird Flight, the Charlie Parker show
Korpiklaani (I'm told it translates to "Old Forest Clan", Vallhagen can chime in on this) are bloody amazing.
"Vesilahden veräjillä" is a really neat song about a Christian preacher who ran afoul of a local warlord who took umbrage to his message.
"Let's Drink" -- they seem to do a song about the joy of the bottle on every album except for Manala
"The Steel" -- a glorious appreciation of the blacksmith
...
go look 'em up :)
I should probably note I can't speak scandinavian and rely on translation websites
Ume's new album Monuments is my latest digs. That JazzMaster into the Big Marshall sounds killer.

Thanks for this one Cody. This album is killing me! Love it!
WWOZ out of NOLA. Killer radio station. Currently they are playing a block of vocal jazz/blues divas.
http://www.wwoz.org/
It seems every time I see this question I am listening to FANS. Computer fans, cooling fans, so many fans. So just add some good music guys!
Saw this on NZG, under the topic title of "Jazz? It's not all wank" (the guy was upset about the stereotype of jazz being a technical exercise).
It's *NOT* what you'd expect. I like this track!
I've currently rediscovered U2 again and have downloaded every known live show that was ever recorded. That should keep me busy. I used to trade for these on audio tape and CDR's for a decade to get that many, now you can just download them all in days. Ain't technology a marvel? Currently listening to their 360 show from Mexico City, 14th of may 2011.
Not from that particular show, but a true 360 gem still. Not to mention a very interesting guitar tone as well.
Off the newest record! They got Jesse back!
In Krust we Trust!
If you're a bit into harder than punk style, on the verge of hardcore/metal.... fat toanz... this might cut it...
And album i really dig lately...
Just listening to this one again. I'm a classic rock kind of guy but I'm so impressed with this. I think Bill Frisell's playing here is just about perfect. Not only what he's playing but also what he's not playing. What a feel!
Plus, it always looks like he's really enjoying himself.
This is a jazzy, post-rock. hardcore weirdo type of band from Belgium...
Was listening to that in my early 20's, still one of my favorite album ever
Soooo smooth and heavy and clean and well...
Hits hard for 1973!
The Albums Placebo and 1973 are really worth checking, truly ahead of its time.
In light of Pickdropper's terrific 18watt build, this is a demo of a group of original 18watts and a lone JTM 45 and not a bad player to have demo'ing.
One of the guys who was there owns a Clusterfuzz. The hope was that Joe B would do a quick clip of it, but my guess is that they didn't have time as I probably would've heard about it.

In the spirit of bands from France... Scarve, that album when released in 2004 marked me by it's production, skills of the player and modern sounding of everything...
It's fast paced, technical, screams, loud... much awesome!! Worth the listen if you can stand extreme metulz a bit.. ;)
Also, master Dirk Verburen on drums... Belgium madman...

Yes, they are great! Live performance was perfect..
While were on a ...sort of metal... theme, here's one from one of my favourite bands. Unfortunately the band has become slightly pretentious of late in my opinion, this album was 'ok' overall.
Gotta admit though, when they get it right, they nail it. The vocal hooks in the chorus are harmonic perfection...

Very clever video that, with a lot of commenters getting completely the wrong idea about it in YouTube (no surprise there). *spoilers*
She is the bomb.
The scientists fear and love of her, but continue to be fascinated by her regardless of her true intentions. The military's seduction by her and her power. The fact she kills everything and no-one seems to notice. That we feel falsely secure of her protection (the missiles in the schools, at the homes). Finally that ultimately, when released, she destroys the world and everything in it. The scientist asks why... It's her supernature of course.

Found this trawling youtube. It doesn't have the mahoosive, thick sound that the album version does, but it's very good nonetheless :)
The rehearsals for The Slip are all awesome (were a bonus disc with the CD)
I actually prefer the raw edge to the album versions of these tracks.

Was exposed to this singer/songwriter guitar wizard as a solo artist back when "Shoot Out the Lights" was released decades ago and a local radio station used to play tracks from it quite frequently, a huge fan ever since. Anyways this later day gem popped up on my ipod tonight, had to listen again and again, glorious Strat strangulation...
... and the classic
Last time i saw him, he and Nels Cline along with Wilco melted a few thousand faces reworking an old Fairport number, as strong as ever.
Great stuff, Davent. Really outstanding guitar sounds, too.
Richard Thompson is one of the unsung heroes of the guitar, no question.
Enjoyed All Them Witches, cheers for the introduction.

Sixx AM
Admittedly, I'm not a Nikki Sixx/Crue fan, but I really like James Michaels voice, and DJ Ashba has a real knack for delivering the right hook for the song.

No links, but I've been listening to the new Mountain Goats album all evening. It's even better than I'd hoped it would be (and they're already one of my favorite bands). Shortlisted for my top five records of 2015, easily.
New Nightwish (Endless Forms Most Beautiful), which I'm liking a lot.
Floor Jansen has energised this band since her arrival. This was not long after her filling in for, and eventually replacing Annette. She is the normally the singer in Re-Vamp (quite a bit more metal than Nightwish), formerly After Forever. Distinct lack of windmilling during this track ;) She is awesome. Damn impressive when she opens the taps.
Good call John...I love the mixture of heavy elements with orchestral. EPIC!
Plus it doesn't hurt that she looks like an Amazon Goddess.

She is quite lovely. VERY tall, easily about 6'2". Seen her live with ReVamp (& Nightwish). Seems really down to earth and was hanging out at the t-shirt stand after their set meeting fans.
Came across this at the library yesterday and brought it home, a weeee bit different from the usual fare in these here parts.
And an old fave.

It is been a while. I forgot how great band they are.. :)

Just downloaded the recently released "Dub Side of the Mule", a three-set live album from Govt Mule's 2006 NYE show at the Beacon. It's fantastic!

I was checking out the new Blur songs last night. Not altogether that impressed to be honest :(
Also got Sufjan Stevens new LP. Really great record.
He does some really weird (and great) electronic stuff too:
Instrumental prog metal.... Jeff Loomis rocks hard!
I have been enjoying the new Alabama Shakes album. I really like the production of the album. Gritty and bass heavy.

The new Wire album,
Wire. This is the last track, "Harpooned".
I'm listening to the distant murmur of a television elsewhere in my house. It was like brown noise in my background for some time, but now has come to focus and every syllable is like a hammer slamming an anvil.
I'll just turn it off, then.
These guys are just way to cool. Major mojo. I think if anybody else did all the synchronized moves that Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill do it would look cheesy but these guys just make it look cool.

I usually leave the radio at work set to someone's private station (run out of their shed), since it's a good mix of old pop, rock, a *little* bit of rap and reggae, and the odd modern pop song.

Hell. Yes. Damn what a great song.
I'm just saying, how much trouble would you be in with the thought police in the USA if you had a song on the radio with a chorus of "Star f-cker, star f-cker" repeated a lot?

These can get a little sweary, and are both sweet songs about a certain Courtney Love...:
Shame she came between them. Could have made some completely fucked up and awesome music together ;)
Yeah, Lisa Gerrard is one of the most amazing female vocalists I've ever heard.

Yeah i agree with all of those. Spiritchaser is one of my favorites, its tribal but pretty mellow. Look, its actually pretty difficult to find a bad album...even their latest album which i was expecting for some strange reason to be no good, is pretty solid.
Edit: Here's another one, rather on the heavy side again, but they do quite a bit of that. The songs quite heart wrenching. I don't believe the video clip is theirs though and is way on the arty side.
Best duo ever:
Charlie Hunter has always been great but, as the good wine, he improves with age.
Oldie but goodie:
Beatles Revolver Album

Didn't knew this song existed. It's awkward given that I live less than 30km far from those caves...

Its that song that made me start realizing how great the Beatle's bass lines usually are, and make me wish I could have that recorded bass tone on tap when I need it.

A bit dated, but I still LOVE the guitar on this track. A crazy mashup of garage, disco, punk rock, new wave and metal with humour and enthusiasm ... but a little weird and explicit so don't watch if potentially offended by that.
If you think the secondary vocal lead sounds like the chorus in "Girl, you have no faith in medicine", that's because its an uncredited Jack White:
Oh, how I wish I could play guitar like that ...
Or like this ...
That's what I'm listenin' to!
Nice one Cortexturizer. They certainly did!

My fellow Fort Worth, Texian Leon Bridges. His album "Coming Home" was recorded on vintage equipment. Just beautiful hearing the sound of the old mics and tube gear getting pushed. One could even say that the recordings are actually flawed in a technical sense but man does it ever sound good. Cannot get enough of it.
nice one.. oddly enough i like this, even if i shouldn't :)
thanks

Thanks so much! I'm usually shut down as soon as I say I found a new great band. The perks of being a jazz guy. Glad you could find something you like here :) you might also like kneebody then and maybe Chris potter underground too:)
Picked these up today, could be gone for awhile.

My boy is almost 2, and he loves watching these truck videos. So since he is almost 2, we watch them all. the. time. They are some damn catchy tunes....
And as far as not toddler-centric music, I've been listening to Vintage Trouble
Sorry, no embedded videos or anything but.....
I don't know how many times I've listened to the new Baroness album since it's release last month.
I absolutely love those guys. I got into them with the "Blue Record" and loved it. Next I got the "Red Album" and liked it a lot. Then "Yellow and Green" came out and I was floored. The first time I heard Take My Bones Away I was hooked. I also ordered the re-released EP's of their older stuff to check that out.
Now the new "Purple" (my favorite color) is in steady rotation.
I love how their stuff has changed and grown over the past ten years.
They use some pretty cool effects too!
haha my girl is three and a half and she seems to have a fixation on Bjork, and specifically pagan poetry
When she listened to this bjork song 6 times in a row, sometimes, she will ask for this
i started a policy so each persn in the car can choose one song in turn, and i try to make her discover as many styles as possible.
I also have a Bjork fixation. Her music gives me goosebumps, her videos give me goosebumps on top of goosebumps.
Your little girl has excellent taste just like her daddy. Vespertine is my favorite Bjork album. The official Pagan Poetry video is NSFW, because Bjork is a bad b*tch who doesn't give a f*ck. I love her.
My 4 year old niece also loves Bjork. When I go see Acacia I always put on this video. Thankfully Acacia (neice) and Cady (my little sister/her mom) always approve of Bjork, even if the subject matter can be a little dark. Throwing your body off a cliff just to hear what it sounds like isn't exactly kid friendly but the video is beautiful, also one of my favorite Bjork songs of all time.
Somewhat relevant to what we do, here is Bjork talking about her TV/electronics in 1988 I believe.
The way she talks is fascinating. She doesn't even need to sing, I could just listen to her talk all day. She is sooooo cool man. Ridiculously cute.
That's why you shouldn't let poets lie to you.
haha ! i fortunately don't have to deal with the subject of the songs since we all speak french. my daughter makes sounds replicating Bjork's accent (which is usually far from what i classify as proper english :) ).
I also love what she does. i only wish she would be more adventurous on the rythmic side of things and get out of the usual 4/4, trying-to-be-different-but-not-really-succeeding rythms. but well, that's only one downside of her work which is absolutely stunning on every other level .. it's just that my personal fixation is on polyrythms, or at least, asymetric bars. To my ears, any music gets better if it's in 5/8, 7/8 5/4, 11/8. just avoid 4/4 please :) or be creative with it and make it sound different, or awesome because you play it really well... oh i geuss i love everything in music .. :)
another one you might like. This one is in 7/8 :) (we can move the sharing in pm if we don't want to pollute the thread :) )

i totally agree about her carachter being quite fascinating!
the way she sings creates an almost spiritual experience that i only find in some guitarists like david gilmore, adam rogers and more importantly kurt rosenwinkel. it's a spiritual experience to listen to these people.
perfect mastery

I'm so pumped. These two artists are touring together AND they are coming to lonely Albuquerque, New Mexico. Usually we get skipped. The whole Austin - Denver - Phoenix route touring groups run gives me a headache.
Super groovy, ultra hoppy instrumental rock. Tight as a tiger, great swing, positive vibes. I adore both these artists. SO STOKED they are touring together.

Found this when googling "segovia guitar electric", wanting to know if the old legend ever played electric, and came across a forum thread comparing Segovia's quite elitist attitude to Chet Atkins. The poster linked to an Atkins youtube vid, and I was trawling through the links from THAT when I spotted this, and went, "Ooo! Mark Knopfler!"
Preview of May's new Fruit Bats album. Eric's still got it! Stoked!
At the dawn of the day, when the world's biggest fish was being landed, and the sea was quite lumpy and the weather was foul, and the bloke with the map was as pissed as an owl, and the boys called out, "Maui, ya clown! Let it go!" he winked at his mates, reached down for his grandmother's jawbone and said, boys, we don't know how lucky we are!
SHES BACK! YEESSSS!!!!
I cannot wait for this album.
Let England Shake is one of my favourite albums of all time. The whole concept, production, lyrics and general song-craft were perfect. If this is a follow up on a similar theme then fantastic.
She can also properly rock out when she wants too:
I think 'Rid Of Me' is still my favourite but i think that has more to do with the surprise, the newness, not knowing what was coming next and being blown away by what i was hearing. Since then with each new release (save one) you know you're in for a treat. (I'll allow all my favs a stinker.)

Big Polly Harvey fan. Love her stuff. Only discovered her from a live performance on Later (this one in fact), fell almost immediately in love with her music:
She collaborates occasionally with Josh Homme. I've never known a more perfect pairing of song writers/performers and wish they'd do more.
Also, grab Please Leave Quietly if you was an awesome live video. Love that one.
Can never be enough PJ Harvey, more collaborations.
Can't go wrong with Josh Homme either. Looking forward to his collaboration with Iggy Pop.
Dream Theater! I'm a huge Patrucci fan.

Glad you love it! Sebastien is such an amazing guitar player. he has so much taste, a flawless technique, and a real search for inventivity and musicality. he really listens to what he's actually playing.. and he's a really nice and interesting guy on top of that.
If you liked this: check this other video, from the studio for his beautiful album called 'la mélodie des choses'. I have been coming back to that video again and again in the last few days. it's just beautiful in so many ways. Sebastien's solo is SO great too. i definately need to transcribe what he does between 1:30 and 1:40 and 2:10 to 2:20 beautiful guitar work.
The kora player is just incredibly too .. i love seeing an african tradition instrument used in that harmonically interesting context.
I've been all over the plac even lately. If you opened up the 10 disc changer, you'd find The Raconteurs, Gov't Mule, Crowbar, Mountain, Deicide, Black Label Society, Dax Riggs, Black Sabbath. Blues Traveler, and The Sword.

I was listening to the Nuggets box set earlier, it's so damn good. For some reason I'm stuck on older stuff lately.
This is my personal favorite from the set. For 1967 this is heavy and just weird. I'm guessing these dudes did a lot of drugs around this time.

Been listening to Esperanza Spalding's newest release for a bit now.
There isn't a ton of soloing on the album itself, but the live videos have some jams. This also put Matthew Stevens on my map, and I've been listening to his solo album as well.

I caught her on Colbert the other night. She was great, and had a cool guitar player to boot. Thanks for reminding me to track down some of her stuff.
Not sure how I missed this back in the day, but good to get your industrialness on:
Skinny Puppy, Thrill Kill Kult, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry. It's been that kind of year so far.
I'm really getting into math rock these days. good example is Oxford based band TTNG
I'm in love. She has an amazing body of work. "Goosebumps on the back of your neck" style.
The first jam is sexy, fuzzy, rock n' roll ballad.
The second is reminiscent of Deee-lite, Cibo Matto, etc.. It is pure sunshine. She is amazing.
Listen!
Been jamming on Mala recently. Minimal, latin, somewhat drone-y. Excellent music to listen to while working or doing hobbies as it doesn't grab the listeners attention too much, which can be an annoyance in the electronic music genre. Lots of music in that realm tries "too hard" to consume the listener. This is very chill and helps me work through whatever project I'm on without it being a total distraction. I'm really enjoying the whole album - Mala in Cuba
I have been enjoying the new Hammock album:

The moodiness of this reminds me of Bohren's "Maximum Black" from _Black Earth_.
(I found this through watching Luna Le playing Hendrix on a Japanese instrument, click through to "ZZ Top & John Lee Hooker" (wasn't actually ZZ Top), that linked through to Sumlin, Buddy Guy, Clapton, Johnny Winters, etc etc at Crossroads, disappointed at lack of Sumlin playing, search... this came up :) beautiful track.)
Sorry, but the start of the actual SONG is too rofltastic to not link here.
The only four words you'll ever need to know - - - Ximena, Ximena, Ximena, Ximena.
...and because this thread is *seriously lacking* great music of this genre. Click on it. I dare you. No, I double dog dare you... you might just like it. ;)
so that's six words you need to know, including Amon Tobin
I've been watching Jazz (Ken Burns documentary). This lead me to scrounge up some Charlie Christian recordings. If anyone out there is getting bored with their playing or usual type of music that they play on the guitar, then check out some mid 20th century Jazz artists. Either try to learn the songs or just noodle around on top of the songs, it definitely challenges one to expand their "guitar horizons" so to speak.
Cover of Warm Leatherette, had been looking for Grace Jones' version and stumbled on this, rather intimate!

Good stuff all around fellas.
I've been diggin' on that latin flava recently. If you see my last posts it's obvious. I love synth/electronic music/production/sound design, and this dude has all that ON LOCK. Very strange genre mixing and very groovy. It feels like I'm in a Mexican nightclub, but said Mexican nightclub is on a spaceship in the far distant future and everyone is dripping with groovy swagger and taking shots of dope Mexican booty. That, or T-Pain and Frank Zappa's Jazz From Hell made little music babies.
The whole album is fantastic and surprisingly technical, and that always makes me feel ways about stuff. People who enjoy production quality and technicality will certainly get down with this.
Enjoy the whole album and listen to weird music every single day.
Artist - El Guincho
Album - HiperAsia
Here's a sample track, the second post is the whole album on a playlist.

Does anyone listen to the other member's posts? I listen to everything posted here. On real speakers. Let's see how well y'all pay attention. NSFW. If you'll listen, it's a song about loving JP but I'm a bit doubtful that will stick. People love their box. Stay in the box.
Really like the new Radiohead track.
Those strings are really nice (Jonny Greenwood to a tee).
Video is also very cool, though pretty disturbing. Postman Pat and Wicker man mashup ;D
I just watched the Ken Burn's Jazz Documentary in it's entirety for the first time. When I initially watched it, around the time of it's release, I only caught bits and pieces. If you haven't seen this documentary, then you should. I've been stocking up on Jazz albums to jam with ever since.

Personally, I'm just glad Radiohead aren't making boring Animal Collective records anymore. Excited to hear what else they've got cooked up. More strings please! They sound like Jonny's been listening to some Owen Pallett as well.
Here's some more info about the video, for the curious: http://pitchfork.com/news/65256-radiohead-burn-the-witch-video-inspired-by-european-refugee-crisis-animator-says/
Picked up Bowie's _Black Star_ from the local Ware-whare. Vinyl.
First up, the quality was bloody AMAZING. No hisses, no noise, no pops, no rumble. This was through Dad's gooooood Pioneer turntable and my brother's HQ "Technics" needle. Better than lossless FLAC.
The first track reminded me a fair bit of Radiohead, actually.
I so, so, SO need to get a new turntable.
Have you exposed the vinyl gatefold to sunlight yet?
Really nice touch (not even his son knew about it!).

I also got three Kraftwerk albums -- Computerworld, Radioactive, and The Man Machine.
Radioactive is the only one I haven't heard yet.
New Radiohead album :)
So far, so good. I definitely prefer it to King of Limbs.
There is some really nice production going on (not many guitars mind).
This video is directed by PT Anderson (There Will be Blood etc.). Thom Yorke is starting to look rather old :o
I am starting to think that Thom York is slowly morphing into Willie Nelson.
I am listening to the new album right now. I am at work, so I am not able to really listen. Will withhold judgement until I can give it a focused listen.

In the last scene of that clip with backwards thing I could not help thinking of this ... :
(http://www.marieclaire.fr/data/fichiers/136/bob-twin-peaks.gif)
They played it on BBC 6 music all the way through last night and I enjoyed it.
I need some time to sit down and really get into it.
It is sounding really different to me so far (in a good way). Strings and piano seem to feature quite prominently.
I might be reading too much into it, but Thom Yorke's split from his partner of 20+ years may also have played a part in the albums general tone.
Radiohead are my favorite band by a mile. Pablo Honey was the first 'real' album I bought when I was 11 or so (on cassette.... eek :o)
I've gotten a chance to go through the new Radiohead album about 4 times now (2 last night with friends, and twice today at work with good headphones). My friends introduced me to OK Computer and The Bends in 1999, and I've never really looked back. They are far and away my favorite 'big' band. After they released King of Limbs (which was an amazing album heard live but didn't quite translate as well to the studio for me), I didn't know what direction they were going to go in. Well, this album is one of the brighter albums they've released in a while, but they're Radiohead, so it's still pretty gloomy :). The album is their most cohesive release since Kid A, but for me the songs share a lot in common with the sounds found on Amnesiac (which were recorded during the Kid A sessions). There seems to be a haze over the entire album, like it's dusk or dawn.
Strings. And pianos. In spades.
Fuzzed out bass lines. Clean guitars. And acoustics.
And so many vintage sounding synthy effects and tape delays.
I think people that want something kinda psychedelic and incredibly well constructed will enjoy this album.
I'm on play through #2 here at work and I am really enjoying it. Headphones tonight.

Hopefully Thom is okay, he's not looking well but he's sounding as good as ever.

Epic Rap Battles of History -- Tolkien beats Martin, *ANY* day of the week.
just got the debut album of "Overhead, The Albatross", a post-rock band from Dublin, Ireland. Amazing what these guys come up with.
Some nice Brazilian psych-rock :-)
I had never heard of this guy until today...and now I feel stupid. Tosin Abasi is like combining Stanley Jordan, Les Claypool, and Eddie Van Halen into one person. The riff that starts at 1:17 is just plain sick.
After watching the video, I'm listening to some Animals as Leaders. Nice !!
Thanks for posting that video!

two door cinema club: irish emopop with stupendous levels of reverb and lots of cool fender guitars. fun
airborne toxic event - my buddy Daren's fan-freaking-tastic band.
I got to see the Zombies live last treat the played the entire Oddessy and Oricle album as part of the show. I was thinking the same thing about the keyboard player. He was really fantastic. About half way through the first set I found myself appreciating that he didn't play crazy 70's prog stuff. Of course the next song was totally a prog song from his band in the seventies.
There original bassist played with them during the second set. It was interesting because he is a guy that very obviously stopped trying to be a rock star after the Zombies originally broke up. He looked very out of place, but he played and sang exceptionally well.
One of the best shows I've seen in the past several years and I wasn't a huge fan going in.
Can't go wrong with Paul Simon's newest album. My dad and I were talking about his intriguing way of telling stories; we both marvel how he crams a lot of lyrics in weird ways and somehow also creates even more meaning with sparse phrases.
Hadn't listened to Alex Chilton / Big Star for years. And now I can't stop.

All works well here.
Have been checking back in through the day and as of now, things are as they should be but weren't earlier .

I've found a few new postrock bands. Well, at least new to me.
And a new record by a band I already new. I dig the heavy use of delay on this album.
Hey Felix, if you're into post-rock, you might like my friends Beware of Safety. I mixed their most recent album, Mabon.

oh cool. I'll give it a go. thanks for the tipp.

Cheers guys! I like the previous album
Lotusville a lot as well.
Earth's "Raiford (The Felon Wind)" from _Hex: Or Printing In The Infernal Method_ makes me think of a remote house in the mountainous part of Colorado, a lodge type house, during winter, with power, but no phone. The sky is overcast and thunderous, but not raining.
It's been a funny day.
Don't get out much to see many bands these days, but went and saw Dead Letter Circus, & 1/2 of the members of a now defunct The Butterfly Effect (acoustic set) last night. Had the latter cranking through the outdoor stereo while I was barbecueing dinner. Great local talent.
Apart from that, Parkway Drive is getting a cranking at work.
Most of this album is great, but this track in particular is amazing.
and today I'm going to see this:
apparently the guy is really good at playing Dobro
I was listening to the two Caspian live albums over and over yesterday. Such great performers. I very much recommend this band to everyone, especially those of you that are into postrock. And if you already know the band, get the "Live at larcom" Blu-Ray. Fantastic.
Very long intro part here, the real song starts at about 6:00

I love Caspian. I'll have to pick up the blu ray this week! Thanks man.
make sure to listen to it with either headphones or a good sound system.
I genuinely hated the album version of this song when it came out. Saw them do it live, whole different story. This version with Myles is fantastic. Would have loved if Mark had come in for a long melodic solo.
And quite possibly the most beautiful heavy song in a long, long time.
Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You
I have really been enjoying this bands latest album:

Love a bit of Khruangbin. Had that album in the car for a long while. So chilled.
I'm liking Bon Iver's new stuff so far:
Album out late September I think.
Been listening to a bit of Ocean Colour Scene. They were big in the UK in the mid 90's:
I can't seem to get away from the instrumental post rock stuff...not that its a bad thing.
Band: Pray For Sound
Album: Dreamer
TL:DR, but I'm really digging Babymetal. The singing makes me smile and the metal is tight, well produced, and extremely well played. Can't ask for much more than that.
They make no pretence that it's not manufactured, and in many ways it reminds me of the Russian YoYo Team from an old episode of The Simpsons...

thanks mike. good stuff, keep it coming.
Check out "Oh, Hiroshima" and I hope you know "Joy wants eternity". If not, it's a must for you
Daniel Lanois has released an 'ambient' lapsteel album and it is awesome.
Amazing tones + textures.
I love this guys production skills.
Interesting stuff, he and Eno were the ambient pioneers, back to the roots.
An artist he worked with even earlier in his career is playing locally soon, Raffi. Lanois's from here and his old studio is still a functioning entity.

i just rediscovered the Magic Malik Orchestra after years of not listening to it.. i knew i liked it, but after years of serious commitment to learning music, i hear a whole different music and i'm absolutely shocked and in awe by this.
I thought maybe some of you guys would like it.
Warning, jazz content (as usual with me :) )
entirely different direction but I kept seeing their name around and I'm catching up on the back catalogue of Blackberry Smoke

new MONO album is released tomorrow. good stuff
Little break from Post Rock. Back into the metal world. These guys are from Australia.

Me either, until the released their latest record. It is called Between Waves. It was a really good listen. Link
Random youtube link clicking, and I came across this.
Utterly mindblowing and incredibly amazing. (And not a piano keyboard in sight!)
Amazing album. The guys vocs are grating at times but the music is incredible and not predictably genre dependent. (Well, at least for a sci-fi prog. thrash band.)
One "from the archive" ive been revisiting. Not exactly happy music. So evoking...it was pretty much my go to album during my rather tough adolescence, I find it a little difficult to listen to these...one of the big influence for my style of guitar playing as well.
Sorry for the downer, please carry on with the program :)
Paul, I was actually lucky enough to have seen Samiam live once. They were really good--gotta love Serge! I still have their albums before Clumsy on cassette I believe--a friend had them on vinyl and recorded them for me. He we so into them that he treated them like a secret only to be shared with the worthy. I wouldn't have gone that far, but it is some damn good music!

These people are insane.
The term "Black MIDI" means that if you took the MIDI notes, and printed them out as a musical score, it would just be a black mass of notation.
Something with a more "upbeat" tone:
Just found this on youtube. Great stuff, reminds me a lot of TREOS.
Just ordered a limited edition LP of Dig Your Own Hole :)
Still trying to get into this album. Protest The Hero is one of my favorite bands but for some reason I just don't dig this album too much.
Protest the Hero really rustled my jimmies the first time I heard them. Kezia blew me away. Never could get into Fortress beyond Bloodmeat and Sequoia Throne and still need to give 3 & 4 a listen. I read that Chris Adler drummed on their recent album, what a combination!

Kezia was amazing. got it when it came out. Still my favorite by them. Sequoia Throne was good, There were a TON of weird time signatures and key changes, it kind of threw me off a bit but i still enjoyed it. Scorrilous (their 3rd album) is my second favorite. That was more in line with Kezia. After that there were line up changes and I thought that it changed their creativity or direction too much. I'm not a big Adler fan but he did some decent work on Volition (their 4th album). Volition was good, it followed Scorrilous well. I though they started to fade (creativity wise) a bit but lots of people liked it. I'm not sure if it's because of Adler's presence or not but that's why I think people flocked to it.
This album (Pacific Myth) just looses me. I saw the Vinyl in my local music store (Bullmoose) and almost paid $30 for it. Honestly I'm kind of glad my cheap Irish side of the brain kicked in. First, $30 is WAY TOO MUCH for a record. Second, I typically listen to it (stream it) before I buy it. It just didn't blow me away like most of their other albums. Worth a listen.
Lemmy Kilmister, covering "Stand By Me". One of those covers that, on paper, sounds utterly daft.
But it works, really, really well.
Decided to check out a new (to me) band. Really good stuff. Reminds me a lot of the hardcore scene when I was in high school. If you like that sort of thing you should check them out.
I don't know why i never really checked these guys out but this album is great! I'll have to check out their back log.
I know there's a general youtubery thread somewhere, can't find it though.
This is a very cool device (no, Juan, not that sort of Cool Devices), very cunning
Eric Clapton: Forever Man (3CD set)
Always been a big kings of leon fan, lotta people only like there old stuff, or hate them or love them, either way i dont care i like them. Havent listened to them in a bit so been listening there latest release WALLS and Mechanical Bull, like i said been a min since i listened to them. Anyway they are really good live, found this video of them from when they were on letterman. With the guitar screams, and pitch shifting bass line that sounds like a keyboard. Pretty cool i think. Also had forgotten about porcupine tree, just got done listening to Trains, love that song. Also Mac Demarco, theres a youtube channel from a seattle radio station KEXP that has some killer live sessions, super high quality audio and video. Ill get on there and just click on random bands, most of which ive never heard of , and have been really suprised at how many of those bands i now listen to on a regular basis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYECLfqjdnw
Thats a link to the kings of leon performance, even if u dont like them check out the performance it sounds really cool to me and innovative, bass line is sweet.
The local radio stations spammed them so many many times, that they're really... meh, to me.
Went into Toronto and saw Drive-By Truckers for the first time last Saturday, (Feb4). Sure hope i get another chance and another...
Picked up a few cd's 20% off while in Toronto, HMV is closing all their Canadian stores so a lot of the last weeks playlist was from these.

I can't make the youtube embeds work. here's a link.

only KOL songs ive ever heard on radio are use somebody and sex on fire, both of which are totally meh to me, Its there deep cuts i like, like Trani. I first heard them on Satelite radio, idk i always forget when im directly asked. listening to Kurt Vile now..

The animation in this is amazing.
I've been diving into the tUnE-yArDs catalog. It grooves in a weird way. The live performances are good too. The overdriven ukelele (not in this track) is a trip.
I've recently discovered Kurt Vile, and have been binging on his back catalog for about a month.
Old Offsets + finger picking + slacker alternative voice + vintage effects + fantastic songwriting = instant win
Not finger picked, but this is lyrically one of my favorites off his newest album. Bonus points for the use of an E-bow.
"Sometimes I talk too much but I gotta get it out
But I don't wanna talk, I only wanna listen
My baby talks soft, my ears are always ringing now
Humming a sad song when I'm alone
But you gotta be alone to figure things out sometimes
Be alone, when even in a crowd of friends and not so
Sometimes of whom you just can't distinguish but
Thank god for the former, yeah"
Rediscovered these guys this week. My old band played a few shows with them. They're a great band. This song in particular always struck me because of the guitar part I. The verse being such a cool melody.
This is another fav from circa 2000-2005.
Another fantastic band, kinda spoonish, but the bass player really stands out to me. He's got a great playing style.
Just discovered this guy

"Little things that make so happy

Yeah little things that make me so happy

Still my favourite band of all time. Still amazed they made it to their second album. You just don't get rock and roll like that any more, with news articles about punch-ups in the street.
Been listening to Tycho all day since I am seeing them tonight here in Fresno.
Super excited.

Spent the day at the National Folk Festival, for something a bit different. (By 'National', I mean 'Australian').
Lots of good guitar, as long as you don't mind it mixed with bagpipes, dulcimer, didgeridoo, fiddle, etc. I think my favourite was the German duo covering Rammstein and Kraftwerk on guitar, accordion and glockenspiel. :)
Anyway, if you're ever in Canberra this time of year, it's a fun 4 or 5 days.
Been a long time since I gave this a listen
Still a FANTASTIC record!
I've always been a massive sucker for grand, majestic pipe organ recordings.
If you're careful with your eyes, you can spot his lightning-fast changes of the stops -- I'm no expert, but I think that the buttons between keyboards load "Pre-set" stop settings. (The un-obtrusive digital stuff on the console suggest MIDI underpinnings.)
Ah to be a teenager again.
-Mike-
Little Charlie & Organ Grinder Swing - Skronky Tonk
The whole album is fantastic.
"Back On The Controls", by Lee 'Scratch' Perry.
It's a bit odd to listen to, in that it doesn't have that slightly hissy sound that a lot of old 70s dub has, but otherwise it's like a time machine. I like the story behind the album, too :)
this week is feeling a little country

I'm 35, but was lucky to get introduced to music in the early 90's. I grew up as an grunge kid, and listened to a lot of the great alternative bands of that era. But somehow, I never really listened to Dinosaur Jr. I was able to see them live in Omaha in a tiny club a couple of months ago. 1. It's the loudest show I have ever been to; if you ever see a rig rundown from J. Mascis, all of those amps are really on, whether it's at an outdoor festival or a 500 person club. 2. The guitar chops, the killer bass, the hard hitting drumming; it's like the perfect storm for me. The the crazy thing is that since they've gotten back together, all of the music they're recording is top notch.
So here's to happily finding a band I missed in my youth.

I stopped listening to commercial radio in the early '90's so i'm still discovering a lot of music from the 'dark years' that i really enjoy and am adding to my collection. It was commercial radio/dj's i hated back then and still do, and not the music, commercial radio just ruined it for me.

I'm fortunate to have a public music radio station in Kansas City that I listen to, volunteer for, and donate to. They play phenomenal music, and have phenomenal djs curating their playlist.
http://bridge909.org/ (http://bridge909.org/)
There's a really good station in my town now (Brian FM), I try to keep the radio at work tuned into it. Very good variety (Pink Floyd, Metallica, ACDC, Creedence, some of the teenybopper stuff, all sorts), and no advertising other than the station stings. I can put up with the odd tween-bubblegum song if I know that something good like Flock Of Seagulls is probably next.
Unfortunately, the supervisor has funny ideas sometimes about having a variety of radio stations playing.

Caspian is one of my favourite bands. Just intriguing how all the parts and layers of instrumentation fuse together to give an amazing musical experience. Also one hell of a live band. I'm so glad that they come to Austria regularly. Also they hooked me up to my favourite austrian band called "Lehnen". Mike, the latest two albums of them could be right up your alley ("sounds over ice and wave", "I see your shadow")

Incredible stuff from the Bill Evans trio.

Grabbed my copy of the new Queens of the Stone Age album this evening. Loving the stripped down production on this one.
About 12 different flavors of cocked wah/harmonic energizer/frequency boost in that tone.

Totally agree. To any bass fans, take a quick listen to Lafaro's playing. Very ahead of his time.
All 3 musicians are/were virtuosos. I don't listen to a lot of jazz, but I could listen to this anytime.

I'm going to also mention I've been listening to this entire album on heavy rotation. Mark Ronson of all people produced it, which speaks to it's stripped down funky sounds. But it's still QotSA, so there's a good deal of No F's Given too.
Appearently Josh is BFFs with the Stone Deaf PDF-2, which is a modern interpretation of the Maestro MPF-1. Chances I'm going to tackle a build of that this winter? 100%. I really have a thing for the Queens sound. I often use my Dual Voice Filter with some cocked wah sounds combined with channel 2 of the Aion Lab Series preamp (mids almost dimed with the fun filter stuff set for the midrange frequency) into a hint of dirt amp. Then bludgeon it with a Giant Hogweed when you need that stoner sludge.
Check out the behind the scene video for this video, set to the studio recording. The whole album is a groover.

I bought their first album when it came out in 1980... great stuff!

Is Killing Joke still around? or am I just a little old? Anyhow, thnx for reminding me about them.

Holy crap, album leaf is still around. I remember picking up his album my first semester at university, 13 years ago... His sound has evolved a bit, I like it.

Excellent stuff. One of my favorite bands. I first heard of them way back in a record store. ( early-1980's )
"What's THIS For?" was playing. Bought the LP and instantly liked it. Their original drummer is superb.
He's back with the band now along with the rest of the original members. I was just listening to "Pylon" this evening.
Salt Marie Celeste, by Nurse With Wound, will make you realise just how creepy stereo imaging can be, with a GOOD sound setup. (It sounds, to my ears, like a bicycle dérailleur of some sort.)
Tash Sultana
Dammit, I've added a loop pedal to my Christmas Wish List!
Some old Stabbing Westward albums. Over the top angst with synth and metal guitar, but done incredibly well with some really good lyrics.
_Darkest Days_ is probably the best one to start with. Just DON'T let anyone who is depressed or in a bad place mentally listen to it.

I remember Stabbing Westward - Ungod and NIN - Pretty Hate Machine were in heavy rotation in my walkman growing up. Great stuff!

Had a listen to the OST for Mad Max: Fury Road.
Very disappointing. I was honestly expecting a LOT more on there from Coma, the Doof Warrior!
I'll have to stick to blasting Karma To Burn, then.
My local indie station played this when I was out and about today, and it has been stuck in my head all evening. Santigold - "Disparate Youth"
Toto Tribute I'll be Over you by Andy McKee and Marco Sfogli cover
Jake Xerxes Fussel. Smooth as flowing water fingerpicking that sounds like it belongs on a peach farm in Georgia circa 1932.
Bought some Perturbator albums. Great, great synthwave, and the album cover-art tends to be right up Juan's alley (check out _The Uncanny Valley_ for this.)
I've had a hankering for stoner/space rock for a while now and I stumbled across the Stoned Meadow of Doom channel that showcases a bunch of bands that you might never hear of. Some great stuff on this channel!

I love that channel! I've found more new bands there than anywhere else in the last year. Top 5:
The Machine
Colourhaze
Ecstatic Vision
Asteroid
Valley of the Sun
Also if you haven't heard of the Desert Sessions check them out. Now. Particularly the Desert Sessions Vol. 1 & 2. Its a side project from Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age where he just got all his buddies together and they recorded. Vol. 1 & 2 were recorded by locking the group in a studio for 3 straight days under heavy psilocybin influence. Easily in my top 15 albums of all time. If you like driving rock, check it. You'll thank me later.

Bearing in mind that I only know that he did a song called "Hallelujah" back in the dawn of history...
Leonard Cohen's track, "You Want It Darker", is utterly, absolutely, and in all ways amazing.
It's a swansong, like Cash's _Hurt_ or Bowie's _Blackstar_.
About two day's worth of Alfred Schnittke, mostly his cello compositions. Probably the most consistently "terrifying" art music I've ever heard. The guy had a real flair for absurdity and dissonance (not just in terms of "these notes don't belong together" but also with the rhythms).

I love, love his voice since the mid 80s, just so incredibly majestic. The level of gravitas he achieved is unreal.
Ah but if you want TRUE gravitas, one need look no further than the album I just bought for my former roommate for his birthday:
Every track is split, half Shatner chewing his way through some Shakespear, half "singing", and it is all AMAZING. I swear he has a minor mental break in the last line of this track.
Cars, "Move Like This". A great album from a great band.
Although I do miss Ben Orr, the remaining members had great chemistry
and effortlessly made some great music in 2011.
I do wish that they would've let Elliot Easton play a few solos, though.
Superb guitar player. The combo of his work with Hawkes is worth paying for.
And David Robinson was a big influence on me. And of course, top all of it with
Ocasek's strong songwriting and vocals.
Pops up from the depths on a randomly loaded, mystery ipod, just put this on repeat while i was out shovelling snow this morning, the shovelling was effortless, the dancing was slippery. De Staat, My Blind Baby, my ipod has a studio version, this is a live radio version of the song.

That was great Jon, had never heard of the composer before and the cello is such a great dark dark insrument. Took classical guitar for a lot of years and was never able to find those pissed off, angry, paint peeling notes so inherent to the cello.
Piano bits near the end immediately brought to mind the piano intro to Atomic Rooster's, Death Walks Behind You.
Bought the Leonard Cohen after hearing the title track and for me none of the rest of the album could come close to that one track, so good, so dark!

Anyone else listened to the stream of the new Legend of the Seagullmen album? The band is a supergroup featuring Brent Hinds of Mastodon on guitar, Danny Carry of Tool on drums, Pete Griffin of Zappa Plays Zappa and Deathklok on bass, and a couple of other lesser names, including director Jimmy Hayward (Jonah Hex, Horton Hears A Who) on guitar as well.
The first track sucked me in, and I can honestly say it's been one of the few new albums in recent years I've loved from beginning to end. Driving, groovy rhythms, wailing guitars, perfectly atmospheric synth, guttural vocals, and lyrics that, while simple and almost silly at times, tell a great series of stories. Definitely worth a listen if you have a chance.

Really good. Love these guys.

You start listening because the band name is hilarious, and continue listening because they're damn good at what they do.
Lowrider, _Ode To Io_
Swedish band, stoner rock, so Kyuss-like that they actually got a fair bit of stick for it.
Leftfield, _Leftism_
I seem to be going through several albums I love, tonight. I was listening to Karma To Burn, this morning, too.
My local indie radio station decided they were feeling Mongolian tonight, so we got a bunch of really fascinating music.

And a second track from that album... it still amazes me that humans are capable of making those noises.
[soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/danielhocreations/11-praise-for-galloping-horses?in=danielhocreations/sets/between-the-sky-prairie[/soundcloud]
been listening to Jack White's latest solo album this week "Boarding House Reach" ... its a challenging listen if you're more into the White Stripes than his solo work or supergroups ... if I had to be reductionist in my review, I'd say Jack's been listening to AWOLNATION and Imagine Dragons and wanted to mix his particular brand of bs with that sort of sound.
So Brian FM played a catchy tune a few times. It stuck in my head enough that I decided to look it up.
Wow. Just wow. I love how it humanizes the USA civil war, a bit. (I ain't touching in the politics or morality of either side.)
Great track from Ultravox's very underrated album, Systems of Romance (1978). This track obviously had a big impact on bands that followed in the 80's.
My friend Joy Ike's new album:
https://joyike.bandcamp.com/album/bigger-than-your-box
I really like the production, though she does sing a little differently than on some of her old materials, more pop in some places and a little less soul.
Amazing what you come across on youtube. I'm guessing the guy is a huge Hank Marvin fan -- he even has Hank's habit of playing with the whammy bar under his right hand all the time.
THATs quite the find Alan. I thought it would've been hilarious if the guy had just sat there and not played the whole time.
Instead of using blur to hide people's faces, they should just dub this guy in to protect identities. Excellent body and headstock placement!

I am listening to very different music. Yesterday I listened to some house, today I am enjoying HIM. It's a pity that the band has broken up, hope Ville Valo will appear more often on the world stage. Read that he bought this (https://tranio.com/finland/adt/1671277/) isolated apartment in Helsinki and haven't been leaving it for a while, hope it's not a crisis. I used to be his fan in high school, he is a great musician.

Every time I hear them on the radio I think my local rock station has started playing Zeppelin for some reason. Its almost eerie how close they emulate it.
I know that the kosher, halal opinion that good little headbangers have is that Ministry's _Filth Pig_ is a bad album. And not bad as in _Plan 9 From Outer Space_, just not worth the bother at all.
But I like it.
Slow.
Dark.
It reminds me of an interview with the guitarist of _Celtic Frost_. The slow stuff is the heavy stuff.
Even if no one knows what the hell the lyrics to _Lava_ are supposed to be.
Led Zeppelin "listen to this eddie" bootleg from 6/21/1977 forum inglewood, ca

Most of yesterday and this morning has been "The Brian Jonestown Massacre - 2018 - Something Else".
I caught one of the newer Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown shows that Anton Newcombe was on. He seemed like he was doing some great stuff in the studio and its been forever since I heard a BJM album. Really digging the garage rock feel of this album.. I can almost see the orange walls and green shag carpet of the room they recorded in when I listen to this.
I recently bought a Kenny Burrell 5-pack set and made it through a couple disks before Coltrane's lost album arrived in my mailbox today. I'll be digging on that one for awhile.
Some emo / post hardcore stuff. Picked up the vinyl on the cheap and it has been a great purchase so far

_Nihil_ by KMFDM really is a great album. It's interesting to think about genre -- industrial seems to include everything from Throbbing Gristle's fucked-up-edness, to the production value of KMFDM.

Not sure why, but I feel kinda guilty that I'm digging this album as much as I am. Does this count as "Adult Contemporary"?
Went to see The Proclaimers last night. I thought they were great. Very tight and working hard even after all these years. Definitely not relying on touring the one hit album either.

The video is fan-made, but damn is it well done. Duel (Spielberg, the one that made him known as Great Director), Mad Max, and some other movies I don't recognise.
Stumbled on this madness. Almost like a jazzy Bjork. For those of you trying to tap your toes, the main part is in 7/8 with an 11-uplet pulse, and the bridge is in 11/8 with septuplets. Real heady stuff.
I have been traveling a lot this month and listening to a lot of music. I came across this band Bliss Signal that is a merge of a death metal guy and a electronic experimental guy and they created Bliss Signal. Fantastic self titled album. Some of the layering of synth/guitars remind me of M83's older production.

I was listening to "Andromeda" when my brother, down the hall, called out to ask if there was something wrong with my computer. He's not so keen on minimal dub.
"Yep," I reply. "Sick beats."
Fred Eaglesmith in general, this song especially ... that tremolo tho.
Really dig those guys,s ong writing, sound playing and all is of the scale. Joey is such a great player and seems such an awesome guy too.
William's dry sense of humour is great. "And there's this thing called a toggle switch..."
His description of the hardware on his guitar reminds me of the 'Grandfather's Axe' trope. "Well, I put four new handles on it over the years, and mebbe three new blades, but I bought this axe mebbe sixty, seventy years ago, and it's still goin' great!"
K2B are so great to listen to.
(Song starts at about 1:04, and you can turn on closed captioning for a rough translation)
I'm a big fan of stoner rock and have tried to get on with Electric Wizard, and I just can't. For some reason it just pushes it's thing that little bit too far.
The new Prodigy sounds interesting. Word has it, the best album since Fat of the Land.
Peter, Paul, and Mary are a potent sonic force.
THIS. Is the song that opened my eyes to just what the guitar is capable of
When I first listened to it, I thought it was a bass guitar, a rhythm guitar, and a lead guitar. Then I realised it was one dude, more or less. Mind blown.
Where's the pedalboard? Where is the Divided By 13 amp, and the coated strings? How does he sound so good with none of that? :) 8)

I have tried to get into them as well and just can't. However, every now and then a song will pop up on Spotify that I will be totally into.
Lately I have been listening to a whole bunch of The Hives, Sleep, and Captain, We're Sinking.
I need an opinion from the crowd. Black Keys recently released a new single. Not bad, as such things go. Not my favorite of their work, but I don't hate it.
But what I'm finding odd is the amount of hate its getting for "ripping off Spirit in the Sky"
I keep seeing this in reviews and comments and I seriously cannot hear it. Sure its a thick gnarly fuzz tone, but... so?
My best guess is they mean the little bridge around 1:08 but.... seriously, if all it takes is a 6 second riff in the middle of a track to be classified as "ripping off" I am utterly baffled.
What do you folks think, are the tracks more similar than my sleep deprived brain is admitting, or are people being strange and confusing.
That's just the most basic blues chord progression. You can hear it in a million different songs (Slow Ride, every other ZZ Top song, ...). Sounds like the typical youtube expert comment, I can't imagine any serious reviewer making that statement.
But it sounds cool, I like it. Nice fuzz sound and I also dig the background girls. I really liked their first three albums, for me their output has been going downhill ever since Magic Potion, so before their big breakthrough. This sounds like a good mix of their older sounds with better production without it being way too poppy as other singles I've heard over the last years.

I got into them around the time Rubber Factory came out (first concert I ever bought my self tickets to was that tour), still love the early raw Lo-Fi stuff.
But, I honestly loved the opening tracks on "Turn Blue" because they were SO different from their other stuff (Weight of Love and Turn Blue in particular). It let me actually treat it as something distinct and separate from their usual catalog, and dig it in its own right. But then the album turned into more of their usual and it just got kinda dull again.
I'm curious to see how the new album shapes up, but time will tell.

I hear it in the line ending riff starting around 30 seconds, which isn't exactly a "generic" blues riff, and they use the words "in the sky."
But reviewers read each others' work, or someone says something that gets picked up as received wisdom. It happens with lots of stuff. People stop listening with their ears and start hearing what they've been told they hear.

On a side note I have become such a gear snob. I can't go to shows anymore and not inspect what the band is suing and then stick my nose up at them. haha.

Saw them at Marrickville Factory Theatre last fortnight with about 250 other punters. Nice small room, great sound, epic night of psych & stoner rock.
Need to watch the rest of this, at some point.
At 5min10sec, check out what pedal is on Fatboy Slim's desk :)
Now listening to The Lumineers - Ophelia, really like this band
Never thought I'd see a cover of this song that I like this much.
Seriously talented singer, too.
Man, that guitar solo was on point, too. That was indeed a good cover.

Roots Manuva is one of the very few rappers that I can stand.
He also has a great sense of humour.
Been building to this album:
The album production is so good, Adrian Younge did a great job! Another thing I love is this albums is like a movie/story. All the songs coincide with each other telling a story.
I know this might not be everyone's bag, but give it a chance.

Tool released a cut from their new album today. Its... interesting. Also, over 10 minutes long.
edit: First thoughts - Very mid-90's "world music" vibe in the instrumentation, sort of meandering jam-session song structure, lyrics that don't really seem all that cohesive, its.... Ok. Maybe it will grow on me, but really at first blush it sounds like a scratch track from Aenima or 10,000 Days with some modern production. I'll give it a few more tries, and when the album comes out, but don't think this one will be going on my mp3 player for the moment.
Its Tool, not great Tool, not weird Tool, just... Tool.
A few years ago, a local band here in Oz, The Avalanches released their first song in 18years. The hype was big on the radio. In the office we're all got our headphones in, sametime messaging each other "wooh, it's coming up" yeeeaah. All that.
Triple J finally play the song, "Frank Sinatra"..... it sounded like gypsy circus techno.
Our messages of hope and excitement start changing to "whatdafark is thiiiiis????"
I couldn't help but wonder if Tool pulled the same stunt.
But yeah, it's definitely the sound from Tool we all know. Looking forward to the album.

Better than that 10,000 days garbage they tried to pass of as TOOL. IMO. And I'm not saying that as a "well if it was anyone else it would have been a really good record" kind of way. 10,000 days was bad no matter how you look at it. Once again IMO.

Here is one of the more upbeat tracks I like
Don't know if there's any metal or hardcore fans in this thread but I've been reminiscing on some old New York City hardcore. Cro-Mags, Alpha Omega. Possibly not their most popular album but definitely my favorite. Oh and German Power-metal power house, Accept. Great listens if you're into that scene.

No good YouTube link for the whole thing, but Van Morrison's Vedon Fleece album.
I was introducing it to my dad, who commented, "I've never heard any of these songs."
I was like, yeah, of course you haven't. No singles on it. No pop songs. Few of the songs ever made it into a live set (in part because he quit touring right after and started trying to drink himself to death). Almost the same instrumentation on every song, acoustic instruments only except for some electric guitar overdubs done in a different studio later. Reused chord progressions. Only one rock song and it's a slightly bitter take on emigration (which he did play at Montreaux). It's like the anti Astral Weeks, and maybe a better album overall. Every single song on it is one of the best vocal performances Van Morrison ever recorded.

A rip of the new Tool album. Which is rather excellent. Shame I can't work out how to buy it...
Seems the only thing that was for sale here was the Ltd Ed at £80 (about $100, it was about $40 in the States...) which has sold out. Otherwise it's digital only which doesn't play in my CD player. Which is a tad bloody annoying as someone who owns everything they've turned out on CD.
To be fair, that CD includes a 2W speaker, a screen, rechargable battery, and 36 page book. (and a code for a digital download as well).
Presumably they'll release a "normal" edition at somepoint without all that nonsense, but for now.... yeah, burn your own I guess.
Also for anyone curious, here are all the various streaming options: https://smarturl.it/TOOLCatalog
(I'm 20 minutes in and still haven't hit track 3....)
Loving the new Tool album. A busy weekend made this morning's commute my first chance to listen. I caught the slower all-stations train and zoned out with a new sci-fi book.
I'll be eagerly awaiting a "normal" cd to be available without the bells & whistles. For now Spotify does the job.
Edit: a few days later, and I've come to the conclusion Fear Inoculum is a chillout album. (not in negative terms).
Pretty much the only 9/11 themed bit of music I can actually remember 18 years later, which is a bit odd as its a mostly instrumental piece with background mumbling.
The Tielman brothers. They were the absolute very first pioneers of rock and roll uber-showmanship, yet are relatively unknown in the industry. I've never heard of any major acts ever saying these guys were inspirations to them. But they invented basically every "move" you can think of with a four piece rock band (playing behind your back, with your feet, climbing on gear, letting the drummer play your guitar with his sticks???, etc, etc). They were doing this stuff back in the 1950's! It was like the real version of Marty McFly going back in time. As expected, racism played a big part in them not hitting major success. These guys were Indonesian, in other words, not Elvis Presley or the Beatles.
Finally set up to clean and wet vac my albums so digging through tonight and came across this gem from high school days. Trapeze - Hot Wire, their first album after Glenn Hughes moved to Deep Purple.
Rock funk of the early mid 70's.
dave
Glad to see Frank is back in action! Even though this took 9 years to come out, well worth it!
Alabama Thunderpussy - _Rise Again_.
Pick it up for the hilariously juvenile name, listen for the amazing riffage and singing. To look out for: "Falling Behind", "When Mercury Drops", and "Dixie".
I've been into the new album by Diiv lately.

Took my son and nephew to the skatepark this morning.
Later a couple of teens turned up with skateboards and a speaker, and cranked it. I was expecting crap, but they put on this mix that had me tapping the Shazam app on my phone. We're talking sunday disco tunes.
Classy
Mostly doing research for a folk album of Irish and British songs whose stories survived crossing the Atlantic.
I had always assumed that only the tune to Matty Groves survived as Shady Grove -- assuming they remembered only the tune but none of the words. It turns out, though, that the tune commonly sung to Matty Groves now IS the American tune, not that the British tune is sung to the American lyrics. Fairport Convention used the American tune when they recorded their version. Maybe even slightly more interesting is that all the early commercial recordings of the song were American and not British.
Doc Watson's is the most interesting version to me. It's the same chords as Shady Grove, but a different tune that isn't exactly like the old tune or Shady Grove, and the lyrics have the story intact but they're pretty American. I'm not sure where he picked it up.

this is one of my favorit band. Used to cover their song.
the left drummer, Mr Mutter, original member. He leave for skateboard and other band, because have contract. Then Mr Sandy in. When Mr Mutter want comeback, they can accomodate him without kicked Mr Sandy. Win-Win solution.

Aesop Rock's 'The Impossible Kid' has been on for like a week now. This guy writes an amazing verse. The album was also produced by Rock.
There's also a video of some puppets reenacting Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' with the entire album as a soundtrack.
Even if you're not into rap, I highly suggest checking Rock out. There's a well known website that tracks MC's vocabulary. Rock is famously leading that race (by a lot).

If you like hard rock, heavy metal, anything like that, and you've never heard this track... you will be kicking yourself for not hearing it years ago. I might have linked it earlier, but it bears repeating.
Just one tip -- do NOT look up live versions. Anselmo's voice does not do the clean-shriek-clean thing in this song quite so good anymore.

The shutdown has caused musicians to find some creative outlets. If you're into Progressive House EDM at all (I was a dj for 7 years through college), John Digweed has been playing sets from his house every Saturday starting at 4pm Central Standard Time (which would be nighttime in the UK). Last week's set over 4 hours long. Right now I'm in the middle of the 3rd hour for this week. I know EDM isn't everything's thing, but if you want to hear a legend of a DJ (Digweed has been around since the early 90s) with impeccable track selection, check him out.

I'm still going back through EDM sets I listened to maybe 15 years ago. This one, from 2004, is a scorcher.
James Zabelia was one of the early users of Pioneer CDJs (CD players that act like turntables), encorperating real time looping and remixing into his sets. Essential Mix is a VERY old radio program from the UK (it started in 1993) where a DJ (or DJs) play a 2 hour set. For those who aren't EDM folks, try tuning in to one. You may be surprised that EDM doesn't all sound like dubstep ;).

Found these guys just the other day on youtube. Turns out they're not far from where I went to college. The single 'Red Star pt. 2' really grabbed me, but I was very impressed with the entire record. If you're into spacey stoner rock this is definitely a band worth checking out.

It's hard to answer, because mostly I listen to my giant collection of more-oddball-than-mainstream music on random.

This one popped into my head when I got an email explain that I got kicked off a large guitar based forum because they were concerned I would upset the White Supremacist members on there. No joke
Was a place I enjoyed, now I feel dirty for ever being there.

I took my wife to see the flood 30th anniversary tour earlier this year. I'm not a fan but it was pretty fun and I really enjoyed the show.

Yeah, I think everyone would be better off not being on that particular forum.
I have never been a huge TMBG fan, but Flood is a masterpiece in my opinion. Really fun from front to back, and there is a lot of interesting stuff going on there. Never cared for their other records as much though other than the live record from a while back, Severe Tire Damage.
I bet the show was great, that's one I would've loved to see.

That's the place. Have you had problems there as well?
It's I was pretty amazed with the level of basically open racism that they allow, but they wouldn't even let people talk about the message against racism that fender sent out. Then when I got the letter from the mod that basically said he wanted to make sure not to upset all the white supremacist there I decided I was absolutely done.
I'm not particularly proud of my last obscenity laden post, I try to behave in a way online that wouldn't be shameful if my little kids saw it later, but so be it in this case.
There were a lot of cool folks on their too, I wish there was some way to solve the issue over there but the mods are not friendly to that kind of talk unless it's stuff they agree with.
let's just say I'm on my second account there ... they got pretty heavy-handed on the anti-JHS shitposting some years back and I may have accused the moderator of prioritizing the advertising revenue of their website.
back to what I've been listening to here lately ... a lot of protest music, not even picky at this point

Haha. It's not like grocery stores play great music nowadays. You know there are some stellar musicians playing those nondescript arrangements so that they can earn a paycheck for a genre people are either ignoring or hating.
I was in one a year or two ago when a Black Sabbath came on. Some indy places i've looked forwards to hearing what they may be playing during my next visit.
Overall as long as they're not playing latter day 'pop' it's going to be better then and more diverse than back in the day.

All men are the heroes of their own stories. Most fathers try to do right by their own sons, by their own beliefs.
Maybe this strikes me because my own father was adopted. The adopted son, he knows his new father loves him because he chose him, but his son in turn has that much more uncertainty, as he never knew the adopted grandfather that well...

The first two are fun listens. Teen Spirit is a great song, big I don't know that it lends itself to this idea as much.

I actually own a William Shatner album. Each track is half him doing spoken word renditions of play soliloquies, half pop covers. He loses his god damned mind on some of these cuts. (The transition from speech to song is at about 3:50, and yeah, give it a listen.)

Ahh sorry you didn't get to see them. They've recently announced UK and Europe tours for next year and I'm sure they'll be over your way asap too.
It's worth the wait, I saw them five times last year and they just got better and better.

Love the playing, but WOW do I hate that snare sound.
So, my local public radio station damn near killed me tonight. As I was driving home from the grocery store, they played this track, and there is a moment in it that caused me to laugh out loud, so suddenly and forcefully, that I very nearly went off the road.
I actually had to pull over to let myself calm down and start breathing again. It was fantastic, I've not had a moment like that in months.

My gf is a classically trained violin player, so I've been hitting up estate sales, collecting classical records. While I like classical music (I had season tickets to the KC Symphony at one point), I had very little knowledge about it prior to us starting to date.
Today we hit up an estate sale at 70% off, and I picked up a lot of Charles Ives sonatas. The sonatas for Violin and Piano have been quite nice.
This is one of my favorites songs by this band called Distant Dream, which is a solo project by Marcin Majrowski.
He is a very talented musician from Poland. Definetly worth checking it out.

Really good stuff, you think gimmick band with their schtick but no they were a very legitamite band, i'm sure it helped to have Bob Ezrin in your corner. I've "Love it to Death" & "Billion Dollar Babies" and i'd add more should i stumble across other early ones.

Cold wet and dark evenings so onto neglected jobs to be done inside again such as cleaning/listening/exploring the vinyl shelves.
First Bowie album i ever bought, Young Americans, The Temptations bought at a local record's vinyl's dead fire sale in the '90, he closed in March 2020 with a last vinyl fire sale, 40 years in business announced in january he'd be closing his store & retiring in March, impeccable timing. Sonny Rollins i'm pretty sure gifted years ago from my jazz loving vinyl loving best friend.
And ya gotta play something to help keep your focus on the job at hand.

I saw them do that record in it's entirety a couple years back. I'm not generally into the reunion/nostalgia thing but it was a great show. They seemed to genuinely be enjoying themselves.

Sounds cool, i wouldn't look on it as a nostalgia act, that'd about trying to relive/recapture the glory years which i don't think they ever really had in the sixties. From what i understand didn't tour much, lots of conflict, a tour now is just making up for lost time.
Must confess i haven't ever heard the album before but have exposure to other of their songs from various comps. The cover art was what initially caught may eye some time back as it reminded me of Miles Davis' Amandla which came decades later.

Jerry Jeff Walker's Viva Terlingua album ... the loss is real for us fans of outlaw country
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-anHFFVsAI
Lately I've been listening to Noel Gallagher and his high flying birds, black pumas, deep sea diver and chicano batman.
Fifteen or so years ago, I heard a song on an indie rock radio station called WOXY 97X (in the movie Rainman, the title character repeated the station's catchphrase "97X Bam! The Future of Rock and Roll" over and over). The song was "The Coast" by a band called Cartel. At some point, the band had to change their name because someone else had the name first, and eventually both the band and the radio station I heard them on ceased to exist. The only memory left in a small part of my brain was that I really liked the song, but I couldn't remember what it sounded like anymore. Funny how time can erase all traces of things if you let it. Well, recently, I purchased the EP (Safety in Numbers) that had the song I remembered very little about from a used CD seller on Amazon for $2 plus shipping. I'm quite happy that I did.

WOXY!! I was on the edge of there broadcast signal so I used to drive a little south of town and listen to it in the car. It was hands down the best radio station I've ever listened to, heard so much good music for the first time there.
I've been listening to this album lately. Just turned 20 years old the other day. Great songwriter, simple songs that are very powerful. Live the singer is equal parts Bowie and James Brown. If you like lofi stuff, or Songs Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co. then definitely give it a spin.

I never got to hear them as an over-the-air radio wave. I only discovered the station after it switched to bitcasting a mpeg stream on the web. Sadly, laws got changed to prevent bitcasters from operating under the rules of radio stations, and the resulting massive copyright licensing fees destroyed them all.
I definitely discovered bands I would not have otherwise through them, The Decemberists and The Mountain Goats to name a couple. Also, Kaiser Chiefs, and probably others I will think of later.
You wistened to woxy music? They were a good band!

Yeah, Meador is insane. I tried to cop one of his melodic minor licks. I had to slow the video down to like 25% and still took way too long figuring it out.
I've watched a lot of his videos now. His left hand is next level. But, if you focus on his right hand he's actually got a super facile technique. He's combining really relaxed picking with hammer-ons and pull-offs but it's so consistent you can't tell the difference b/w and picked and non-picked note. Really impressive.

Such a seventies sound. But so amazingly good. How has this band flown under the radar for me for so long?
I often put on Billie Holiday late at night when all are in bed and it's quiet, helps soothe the soul. Timely one originated in France a little over 100 years ago, Holiday first recorded it in i believe 1937.

I've heard of Billie Holiday before, but never really gave her a listen. I started listening to that track you linked, and at first I didn't get it. I've heard jazz before, but this sounded very non-melodic with the wild vocal pitch bends. But, I kept listening, and it became surprisingly mesmerizing. So, I guess I'm saying thanks for this awakening? I didn't expect it, but my soul does actually feel soothed. 8)
This was surprisingly good. I'm a Radiohead fan, and have to say, the parrot nails it.

Such a fascinating listen. If you know some of the original songs, like with _Nuages_, even more interesting to hear Joe Pass's own interpretation.
currently listening to #1 hits of the 60s part 1. I acquired this Akai deck (and both 8 track machines) a few years ago via a friend of a friend along with a giant box of maybe 40 reels of tape with all kinds of stuff recorded on them. The box of tapes had been buried in my office closet for a few years, but I got down to it today and decided to try out some tapes I hadn't played before.

Still on the record cleaning quest, last night Miles Davis & Hawkwind.
This year marks the 50th anniversary for In Search of Space, has a 24 page Hawkwind Log book, big fold open cover. For anyone not familiar with them, still active in one form or another, released a new album last year, Lemmy was a member until kicked out to next form Motorhead, Motorhead was the title of a Hawkwind song... needs at least a second cleaning and could really use an ultrasonic cleaning but don't have one of those. Had this one for close to fifty years.

A couple of years ago, I combed through the early Vanguard catalog looking for anything that grabbed my attention when I saw this band called Clean Living and they were billed as a country rock band. Right up my alley. This is the cover art for their first record:

Bit of Great Speckled Bird history, band was founded by Canadian music icons Ian & Sylvia Tyson, Amos Garret and few others i didn't recognize. In the early 70's Ian Tyson had a TV music show that ran for ~4 years. People might know the song 'Four Strong Winds' which Neil Young and slews of other well knowns covered was written by Ian Tyson. Garret is known for his guitar solo in Maria Muldaur's Midnight at the Oasis, see the solo referred to, said to be the best guitar solo ever.

New vinyl day, haven't heard any of this before. Miles Davis, music recorded on two days in 1956 was released on four albums to fulfill contract obligations and move onto a new label. I have Workin, and today added, Steamin' & Relaxin', Cookin' yet to come.
Yusuf, for the 50th anniversary of Tea For the Tillerman reimagined it using the same producer he used first time around, not sure about the musicians. I think my sister had a copy of the original when we were kids, never listened to it then but over the years someone dumped a copy on me and i hadn't listened to it until my coivid record cleaning project ensued and after a couple of listened quite like it, the copy i have is nasty and needs replacing, find a cheap used cd... wanted to hear how he's approached things after fifty years and much water under the bridge.

Hahaha, I always have my volume off as well. I increasingly found I like looking at guitar and pedal related stuff, but have no interest in most of the actual playing people do in any of it. At any rate something on that channel caught my eye and I turned on the sound and was very pleasantly surprised.

So much to love in this one. I love the harmonica, and the soft as velvet singing, and I love that gold top P-90's tone, going from clean (ish) to filthy when Wilson wants it to (no pick, I like this guy!)
Saturday mornings are for some good ZZ Top LPs (Tres Hombres, Fantango and First album) played on vinyl at a high volume on large speakers with the window open.
This is utterly beautiful.
I woke up this morning and threw Knock Knock by Smog on the record player.
Good way to start the day.
I'll bet it was! I saw Smog open up for Sebadoh at Tipitina's in New Orleans in early 1995. It was pretty great.
Anybody else spend some time back in the nineties listening to Urge Overkill?
They are probably best know for the cover of Girl You'll be a Woman Soon and this:
That record (saturation) and the one before it (supersonic story book) are both solid, good listens and lots of fun, but their next one, Exit the Dragon, is a great overlooked album.
Very cool guitar playing and some really solid tones. These guys were clearly around in the wrong decade, if this record had came out 20 years earlier, or 20 years later I think more people would have been into it, but it has a melodic, poppy, sensibility that seems out of place in the nineties. They clearly had spent a long time buried in stuff like the Nuggets, and Mind Rocker comps of sixties one-hit stuff.
Been stuck in a loop of listening to stuff I was into as a teenager. The Cure, Sonic Youth, The Breeders.. good stuff

Yeah. Their drummer has some serious skills. The whole band does. You should check out some of their other covers. Speaking of Chicago, how did this song slip through the cracks? This came out in 1979. It seriously sounds like a Stevie Ray Vaughn song, before he was famous. I could easily picture him performing it. The guitar solo has that SRV-sound, before it became popular:
This is the kind of cover I like -- it's the kind that Mr Cash did. Take it, and put your own spin on it.

Jerry Cantrell is one of the unsung heroes of songwriting, to my mind.
The music vid also puts me in mind of Wylde's _Pride & Glory_, and the southern states of the US. Something about the goatee, the hat (what is it? Looks kinda like a bowler hat, but the brim is too big), and the hair.
Music to garden by... my wife brings home a wide ranging never ending supply of comp cd's always loaded with surprises. My itunes library consists of dozens and dozens of these comps that then get randomly dumped onto a shuffle so never have any idea what's on the shuffle and mostly no idea who it is i'm listening to.

Wow, thank you for such fantastic advice. It is complicated now to find worthy musicians who make music from the heart, not just based on the desire to make more tracks of poor quality and earn money on quantity, not quality. This upsets me very much because I love music, and I would like more people to understand good music and be able to distinguish mediocrity from talent. I would also like to know which services you listen to music on, since I use charts for music (https://show4me.com/discover/charts) so far, and I am more than satisfied with everything, but I would like to know more options to be more knowledgeable in this matter.
