What music are you listening to?

[METALMAN]

Got some tickets to see the SCO play some Philip Glass, Steve Reich and John Adams. Only £5. Actually bloody brilliant.

[Sick N Twisted]

Twiztid's new album, sounds a hell of a lot different, but I'm loving it.

[METALMAN]

Listening to the most recent Kitsuné Maison compilation. It's really really good.

[Plubby]

I'm listening to Linkin Park's new album. I heard it was rubbish, and while they've been on a slide since Hybrid Theory and Meteora, it's not as bad as I was first told. Be nice if they had more songs and not so many 1-2 minute interlude tracks though.

[Mongrel]

Fuck, I have no idea what it is with this guy. The first time I hear any of his songs I think they are awful, but slowly but surely I'm drawn back and fall in love with them. He's awesome.

[New Damage]

Holy saxophone solo, Batman!

[Lowerdeck]

Been listening to a bunch of the new Arcade Fire album lately. Good stuff, definitely. The new Chromeo album will probably get a lot of love in the next month or two also.

Old stuff rehashed: Megadeth "Rust In Peace" and Rush "Moving Pictures"... cause I've seen them both live recently.

[ClaRK! Kent]

Had Robyn's Hang With Me single in my head for well over a week now, have fallen in love with it/her as I always do everytime she releases anything.

[SRN]

Keep Of Kalessin's latest, "Reptilian". Holy god damn, is it drizzling shits. I mean, they went from Kolossus to... this? Urgh.

[New Damage]

I gave Biffy Clyro a second chance (or first-and-a-half chance, I left the room with it on the first time and forgot about it) since I had it around November or Christmas, seeing how they seem to have been talked about a lot lately, even more than usual. The album is Only Revolutions, by the way.

I just don't really like it. It's not terrible, but doesn't do anything. They seem stuck between several types of scene/influences and don't appear to include the best parts from those influences. At times it sounds dirty like grunge, but has a half-hearted pop-punk Blackout type scream voice, and the addition of violins and trumpets just seem to over complicate things and make it sound over produced. And I'm just not a fan of the dudes voice. The fact that it started off with the song of theirs that I loathe in "The Captain" doesn't make anything better. I quite liked the second song which I've forgot the name of, I liked the dirty riff, and the song "Mountains" is ok too as a sing-along type tune, much better single than "The Captain" which was on CONSTANTLY a year ago on the only decent radio station here.

[Gene Kiniski]

"Them Boys" - Brantley Gilbert

Not sure how to embed, but gave it a listen a little while ago and l've found myself listening to it quite a bit since the initial hearing. Pretty good if you can get into the style.

[Chief87]

The Joy Formidables new 'un, 'I dont want to see you like this'...

Bit late in getting into them, but loving them (and Ritzy obviously) so far.

[Baddar]

It's taken me four listens, but I'm beginning to love, love, love ABIII.

[VerbalPuke]

I've been listening to a ton of shit lately. I've got Itunes on shuffle, and Toxic Reasons "No Pity" came on, great song.

[New Damage]

ABIII is finally up on Spotify. Eh, it's alright, but seems to go on for a while with little diversity.

[Baddar]

Personally, I'd say each track is quite different. The only two remotely 'samey' are Wonderful Life and Ghost of days gone by, as they're the softer songs on the album, but both very good, too.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

I'm a couple months late, but the new Fight Like Apes album is really, really good.

[New Damage]

Listening to the new Kings of Leon on Spotify. I liked the last one, at first. Then it got overplayed/I overplayed it a little too much for something that doesn't 'fit' within my usual tastes. Already heard 'Radioactive' before and is quite good. Have a feeling so far that this would've been great for a summer release. Oh well.

[Heroin Bob]

Cee Lo Green - The Lady Killer

Neon Trees - Habits

Valencia - Dancing With a Ghost

The Promise Ring - Girls + Boys EP

Every thing I like is so different.

[Liam]

Listening a lot to songs from Pearl Jam's Hard Rock Calling gig, since I was there.

Plus 'Stars' from the musical Les Miserables, for some reason.

Add 'Father's Day' and 'The Real Damage' by Frank Turner.
