First walkmen, then modest mouse, and yesterday I heard "a good man is easy to kill" on like a toyota commercial.

Elliott Smith- Coming Up Roses (Thanks whoever linked this song)
The Strokes- What Ever Happened?

Can't remember. Some sockermom car I'm pretty sure. It had a spinning shot of the car, with people putting stuff in it or something and it was ontop of a building.

The song was "gravity rides everything, by the way".

[Sam]

Sorry for the double post, but that "Late Great Libido" song by menomena that gil linked to is really brilliant. Almost seems effortless how great it is. Doesn't seem calculated at all...and just really satisfying. I'm going to get the album.

Anyway, am I the only one who always thinks that the saxophone that comes in at 0:47 is vocals?

[torgo]

nmh - sinking ship
nmh - she did a lot of acid
nmh - sailing through
nmh - engine
nmh - calypso pt.1

i have been obsessively downloading unreleased nmh and some of it is great. some of it is utterly god awful.

[matt]

yeah, that menomena track was great. pitchdork was right, they could have a hit on their hands there.

i assume these are the great ones you speak of?

[gil]

those are indeed good'ns. also seek out wood guitar and oh sister.

[jack]

Circulatory System - Inside Blasts
Sebadoh - Skull
Menomena - Late Great Libido
Microphones - Ocean 1, 2, 3
Beta Band - Life

and, anyone who has heard Calypso Part Two understands that Jeff Mangum has always been buttfucking nuts, tis not a new development.

[Sam]

I don't want to make a new thread and have it risked being closed, so I settled for putting this one off topic for a couple replies.

CDs I've gotten the past 4 days (gifts and purchases):

wilco: yankee hotel foxtrot
aywkubttod: source tags & codes
royal tenenbaums soundtrack
belle and sebastian: dcw
pixies: doolittle
pavement: watery, domestic
shins: oh, inverted world
belle and sebastian: if you're feeling sinister.

Yeah, my cd collection is somewhat lacking. Unlike my mp3 collection.

(Beep)

[matt]

i got a few cd's this week, but like i've explained in other threads, where i live is a bitch for getting indie records. is yhf worth an impulse buy, or should i download a few tracks first? there's a copy in a local mainstream music store, that i guess will be gone by the time i decide to buy it.

[Tibor]

Yankee Hotel you can trust to buy blind. But if you download anything, War on War, Heavy Metal Drummer, Kamera, Jesus Etc. And I have to buy most of my music online.

Pixies - Into the White
The Strokes - Reptilia
Mogwai - Like Herod
Elliot Smith - Waltz #2 (XO)
Grandaddy - AM 180

Originally posted by Sam I Am

how much did that cost? The S&E reissue probably would have been of better value... Unless you're just collecting.

[Sam]

watery, domestic was a gift. I have the reissue.

EDIT: yhf was an impulse buy. I'd only heard Jesus, etc. and sort of Kamera.

Well, here's what's stuck in my head this week.

Princia - F-Zero GX OST
Stacey's Mom - Fountains of Wayne
Come Into my World - Kylie Minogue
Sussudio - Phil Collins
I Know What I Like (in your wardrobe) - Genesis

Mmmyep, eccentric choices, to say the least. :LOL:

[caribou]

The Strokes - "What Ever Happened?" (especially the guitar solo)

And the remaining songs never let up in their catchiness, either...

[Wezzo]

Sussudio rules. ;)

only ODB's cover version rules, actually

2. "A Little Respect," Erasure
3. "A Spoonful Weighs a Ton," Flaming Lips
4. "Untitled No. 1," Sigur Ros
5. "Bright Future in Sales," Fountains of Wayne

HALLOWEEN TOP 5 (MOO-WAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!)
1. "Bad Moon Rising," CCR (Well, you could think of it as a Halloween song.)
2. "Werewolves of London," Warren Zevon
3. "Thriller," Michael Jackson featuring Vincent Price
4. "Suspiria Theme," Goblin
5. "Edward Scissorhands Theme," Danny Elfman

[gil]

second five sorely missing ministry's "every day (is like halloween)"

[phil]

I find it odd the Brockman frequently has homosexual anthems in his top 5 lists. It's Erasure this week.

[mohammed jafar]

he also has a Morrissey quote in his sig

[gil]

I hate them gays, but I love their music.

[brockman1988]

And next week it'll be Queen. And maybe George Michael and Elton John, but it doesn't mean anything. It's just who I've decided to listen to this week.

[mohammed jafar]

but whenever you buy a pet shop boys or george michael record, your dollars are funding their dildos, pink tanktops and entries to gay bars. think about it.

[RoadRager2000]

Stuck in the middle with you - stealer's wheel (sort of remembered it while getting a haircut)
I Ran - Flock of Seagulls (I should stop playing vice city already)
Cemetery Gates - Pantera (reminds me of one of my x's, how romantic!!)
Wild Thing - Tone Loc
In the Garden of Eden by I. Ron Butterfly

[skittlebrau]

I never knew Michael Jackson sang this song, let alone feature a cameo by Vincent Price. Thanks for clarifying that, slick.

And the correct CCR Halloween pick would be I Put A Spell On You.

This... isn't a Smiths cover... is it?

[RoadRager2000]

Nope, I just checked online, different lyrics from Cemetery Gates by The Smiths. You never heard of Pantera? Ok, maybe they're not as big as I thought they were.

[skittlebrau]

Also, Halloween list sorely lacking Nightmare On My Street by Fresh Prince.

"I'm your DJ now, Princey!"

Elliott Smith - Easy Way Out

[gil]

"cemetary gates" is one of two pantera songs I can stand...even enjoy.

[Julie]

God, I think I've found a new band to add to my favorites list.

Azure Ray - New Resolution
Azure Ray - Look to Me
Azure Ray - If You Fall
Azure Ray - Sea of Doubts
...and You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead - Mistakes & Regrets

I was going to buy Bodysong today, thinking it came out on the 28th, but Record & Tape Traders had no record of anything by that title. :uhh:

[Number Two]

The White Stripes- Seven Nation Army
Metallica- Enter Sandman
Metallica- The Unforgiven

Hmm. I see where you're coming from. I really just think the whole "dance punk" thing is a novel idea...but supposedly it's already become run it's course among anti-hipsters. Plus I really like the energy the record has. One can't deny that it's better suited to a party with dancing or something. I like it because it's something I wouldn't be ashamed to boogie to.

(Beep)

[nathaniel]

side 2 of echoes is about the best thing this year

[dave]

i decided to give echoes another chance. first half sucks still. but latter half was listenable, and in some cases enjoyable. but nothing on it is the best thing this year. unless you get a free blow job when purchasing it.

I forgot to reply earlier:

That's not a They Might Be Giants song. At all. But people mislabel it as such for some reason...

Kind of like how they label "What if God Smoked Cannibus?" as Weird Al, when it's not his style at all, nevermind the fact that it's a women singing.

jude and bnl head up the adult contemporary krew. "I'm sorry now" clogged the airwaves in 99 between matchbox 20's "push" and bnl "one week".

sorry dude. still, great song. :/

[nathaniel]

after hearing this new bnl song this is particularly discouraging

[gil]

they have a new one?

[nathaniel]

its about monkees or something and it totally fucking sucks

[gil]

not entirely surprising. I honestly gave up on them after born on a pirate ship and only enjoyed about half of stunt. yet another embarrassing notch in my cd collection.

Now that you mention it, the second half of echoes really is the best part.

However, I do still like olio, and really like heaven. "open up your heart" just pisses on the fire that is the electricity built up by the first two songs (mixed metaphors rule).

Liars-mr you're on fire mr
Pavement-at and t (except at 2:41 in when it makes me feel woozy)
Velvet underground-who loves the sun
Beulah-warmer

No.
Granted, I didn't listen to any MNK bands aside from the flaming lips, Cake, and Radiohead when I joined but they didn't "bully" me into liking it. I just dowload whatever is big with them at the moment and I usually like it. I still listen to a lot of classic rock and other music that you guys would deam shit worthy.

the argument is my favorite fugazi, but 13 songs is vital for any collection.

13 songs or repeater obviously win the fugazi contest.

"soldiering life" - decemberists
"something to look forward to" - spoon

hey aso, did you see that article in the city paper last month? the one that blamed ian mckaye for everything that's wrong with the dc scene? wack shit

[gil]

isn't ian the reason there IS a dc scene? I mean, ian and bad brains.

[AllSussedOut]

horrible, horrible article. glad you caught it, hj.

gil, the author's point (and bad brains was hardly mentioned, if at all) was to be completely contrarian, and argue that despite whatever good fugazi have accomplished (wc?), that what dc has been left with is a humorless, empty scene, with nothing but wannabe statement makers left in the wake. "no fun allowed," etc.

two weeks prior, there was an "expose" in the same mag about a purported tape that ian had sent way back in the day to... wait for it... cbs records... therefore defiling the mackaye myth da vinci code styyyyyle. ian had no honest idea where the tape had come from, and could only guess at who might have sent it to BIG CORPORATION under his name.

you'd think this city would be appreciative... if these were the only two articles you'd read. BUT. dc loves its bands, and reveres fugazi, this asshole aside. grrrrrrr

[dave]

i'm pissing on your modems

[Milhouse Van Houten]

Picked up 13 songs today. I dont have an indie store around me anymore so I had to check Best Buy and they didnt have repeater. I also found out I had all but 2 tracks off 13 songs downloaded. Still an amazing album though.
