Toadies - No Deliverance



Just came out today. Check it out:
http://www.myspace.com/toadies

[Terrell]

boa - Get There - Yeah, I know, I found out about them through serial experiments lain, but this second album of theirs is just so awesome.



Fischerspooner- The Best Revenge - I need to hear a new full album by this group, electroclash of this caliber rocks my world.



t.A.T.u. - Люди Инвалиды (Lyudi Invalidy, English: Invalid People) - Say what you want, but this is damn good synth music.



Kylie Minogue - X - Seriously, this album is way too much fun. Do yourselves a favor, go listen to Magnetic Electric and tell me you didn't find it fun. I dare you.



Katy Perry - One of the Boys - ... I listed it here to piss you guys off, I admit. But it's really just trashy pop music fun, and I love it.



Shikao Suga - Time - This is what I am listening to right now as I post this.


Sorry if some of the album artwork is too big, I didn't want to spend all day re-sizing it just to post here.

[zhenming]

In anticipation of his new album in a few weeks-couple months....

[braimuge]

ATB - No Silence

[GhaleonEB]

Great fucking album.

[robertsan21]

any violin fans in here?

I am looking for some really nice and harmonic violin music but I am stuck and dont know what to look for... can someone here recommend me some stuff like that?

I also really love Sigur ros and would kill for something in that direction aswell but so far I have found none

[Vicious]

Alright, finally grabbed some new albums.

The National - The Virginia EP (comes packed with a skin, a night)
More like a full b-sides album than an EP, and I love it. Every track is solid.



Okkervil River - The Stand Ins
Some filler tracks make it seem longer than it actually is, but what's there is cool. Bonus points for the awesome album cover, too.



Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
Elbow is always good to relax to.



Calexico - Carried to Dust
Not as good as their previous efforts, but there's some cool songs here and it really grows.

[Guts Of Thor]

Laaz Rockit-Leatherface

[Giant Robot]

How is that? I have Human, ITP, Symbolic, and SoP (which are all fucking awesome) but I haven't heard anything of that album. Worth picking up?

cmon now, a death metal fan's collection is incomplete without!

listening to the new EP

[Toy Soldier]

Kylie Minogue - X - Seriously, this album is way too much fun. Do yourselves a favor, go listen to Magnetic Electric and tell me you didn't find it fun. I dare you.

It's a very good album, no doubt. Bloodshy & Avant were on fire last year. I'd go as far as to say it's her best album since Enjoy Yourself and Rhythm of Love, though still not quite on par with either respectively.

Hearing the Pete Hammond remix I posted earlier makes me think of how rad it would be for Kylie - even for cheap nostalgia's sake - to record a good ol' fashioned PWL track again. The sound still works, and good melodic bubblegum pop will always be in vogue to some degree (especially for someone like Kylie who has the perfect cute voice for sacchrine pop).

It sounds like a good idea, but I kind of want her to go the other way, continuing down this very stylized path she's on right now. Taking steps backward isn't ever recommended in pop music. And besides, this sound she's got now really works for her and she's been pretty smart with her career for the past 10 years, so I'm sure that whatever comes next will continue to work to her advantage and maintain her dance-pop trailblazer image.

... but listen to us, talking pop music in a thread like this, we must seem SO out of place. Continue displaying your metal collections, folks!

[_Alkaline_]

I'm looking for an old song that I remember and love but can't remember the name. Argh, so frustrating!

I think it's by a european artist, and the music video is really sad. It features a border collie being sent to space, and at the end you see the dog in the shuttle with the owner's photo.

Anyone know its name?

[DarkNtity]

[Cosmic Bus]

Shh... This Is a Library, Well Played
Fucked Up, The Chemistry of Common Life
Mudhoney, Lucky Ones
Brainbombs, Urge to Kill
Toxic Holocaust, Evil Never Dies
Unearthly Trance, Electrocution

I also redid my Muxtape a couple of days ago, but I see the site's finally been shut down by the RIAA. Heh.

[RoboJ]

Image of the house is apparently the cover of David Byrne & Brian Eno's Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, which I like, but can't help but feel somewhat disappointed by, not only because of their otherwise stellar history together, but from getting so hyped by the single, Strange Overtones, a promise very little of the album lives up to.

[Spooks]

Been in a David Bazan mood if you couldn't tell. I seriously can't stop listening to Phantom Planet though. And the new Fleet Foxes is amazing.

What a difference between back then and what Armin plays now. It's like they are 2 different DJs... now you can just expect a bunch of Tyas songs and emo vocal trance, with one or two Dubfire tracks thrown in there so Armin can say he plays 'minimal'.

[Aurvant]

CD has been out for like four years, but was only released recently in the United States as of Tuesday. Freakin' Awesome, This CD is.

[Meier]

Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong - s/t

Not sure why they pulled it, pretty fuckin brilliant. I preferred the original version of Lucio Starts Fires but it's still a great song. Should be interesting to hear how everything turns out next year.

[striKeVillain!]

I literally can't listen to anything else. Just so good!

Need to get this! Boxer was easily the best (rock) album rleased last year

Currently listening to Mission of Burma
and the new David Byrne

[Witchfinder General]

Such an underrated album.

I hear ya man. It's just sad to even see his face in a videoclip now. It's like he's going totally for the money, and no one can't stop him.

[Cosmic Bus]

Such an underrated album.

Heh, a friend of mine is a big Napalm Death fan and has tried to get me into them. As a joke/gift, I got him the split they released with Electro-Hippies where both bands do a one second song. :)

[eXistor]

Just discovering Espers and Meg Baird:





Pretty damn sweet so far. I should really search out more newer folk music, some of it is amazing.

I love how British bands can take the piss out of themselves.

Listenin' to:

No-man - Together We're Stranger (A Steven Wilson side-project)

(on vinyl)

[Skittleguy]

Yeah I'm lttp...so sue me.

[Witchfinder General]

Circle of Dead Children - The Genocide Machine

Awesome, awesome Grind.

[Guts Of Thor]

[Htown]

[onemic]

I've gotten a ton of new albums recently, but this is what I'm mainly listening to now:






















And just a question. Who is this interpol and why should I care about them?

[GodfatherX]

free mixtape from an underground KC rapper who has a delivery like Lupe, and beat selection like ATLiens

XV - Planet Squaria: The Square in the Circle
http://www.kingzmenproductions.com/m...nthecircle.zip

[Witchfinder General]

Lightning Bolt - Ride The Skies

(Vinyl)

[Alucard]

I'm loving it. Totally reminds me of Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone, only better because it feels like it's JUST the right length. A wonderfully constructed record from the few listens I've given it so far. I love this band.

[Tamanon]

So good, especially the new acoustic tracks. Piano version of Skyscraper is so amazing.

"Build me up, tear me down"

Aw man she is amazing. I didn't know who she was when I saw her last fall and I was just taken aback by how beautiful her voice is. "All I Ever Wanted" off of that album is so good, as well as the rest of the songs. Definitely check out more modern folk. It has been really good lately.

As for me I'm currently on:

[dextran]

[I Push Fat Kids]

God, I'm gone two days (seeing Radiohead in WA) and Deerhunter/Atlas Sound both have albums leaked.


Deerhunter's record Microcastle got leaked 5 months early in May. To combat this, the band secretly records a second album to go with the regular one as a bonus when it comes out. This past week, Bradford (on the band's blog) releases two personal EPs but doesn't realize it links to his private folder.

Holding:

Deerhunter - Weird Era Cont.
Atlas Sound - Logos (unmastered)

Two Deerhunter records in three months, and this is the second Atlas Sound record of the year. WTF!!!

[OmegaDragon]

It's The Axis of Perdition time, in anticipation of the new album. Surreal horror music (metal/ambient)


The Ichneumon Method (And Less Welcome Techniques)


Physical Illucinations in the Sewer of Xuchilbara (The Red God)


Deleted Scenes From the Transition Hospital
