What music are you listening to?

[KONGO]

Eluvium's Copia. Because most of the catalogue is electronic-tinged I tend to only listen to the solo piano An Accidental Memory in the Case of Death, but a chance re-listen to this one makes me want to listen to all his stuff again. Really dreamy stuff, perfect for relaxing.

[KONGO]

Spotify just got Black Masses back so I'm giving it another try, actually pretty good so far.

Yeah, this album is pretty huge.

[Skummy]

Interesting cover of one of my favourite songs. Never heard a gender-switched version before.

The Meh:
58. The Builders & The Butchers - Western Medicine

59. John Mayer - Paradise Valley (The very definition of middling around. Katy Perry appears because they're together, Frank Ocean appears because why wouldn't he? The urgency that made everything up to his Trio work is gone, replaced by front-porch jams that are aimed squarely at cementing him as Clapton's replacement. Problem is, Mayer hasn't and probably never will have his "Layla", "Tears in Heaven", "Sunshine of Your Love", etc. etc. Point is: he ain't even close.)

60. The Band Perry - Pioneer

80. Mumford & Sons - The Road to Red Rocks (Live)

81. Hanson - Anthem

[METALMAN]

Hey! I liked Yeezus!

[thatshortguy]

Hey! I liked Yeezus!

You have Billy Ray Cyrus, ye of "Where Am I Gonna Live When I Get Home", as your avatar. Of course you liked Yeezus

[METALMAN]

That's because he has my favourite mullet!

[thatshortguy]

That's because he has my favourite mullet!

This insinuates there are others. Top five mullets: GO!

[METALMAN]

Oh dear...um...let's see...

1.Billy Ray Cyrus

2. Andre Agassi

3. Bono

4. Chris Waddle

5. Charlie Nicholas

Easy!

[VerbalPuke]

How have I only just discovered this? The guitar on this is just pure sex.

That's a hell of an album. You ever check out Richard Hell and the Voidoids? You might dig it if you want to hear more oh his work after Television. Blank Generation is an absolute classic, one of the best albums from the NY punk scene of the late 70s.

[Lint]

Just listened to this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynsdmd0jkj8

93.3 WMMR here in Philly played it today, doing their Back to School A-Z thing they do yearly. They played the Patti Smith and Bruce Springstein versions. But this, being recorded in 1993 when I was 12, is the version I know best. Plus Natalie Merchant when she was 30 is cute as hell...

[KONGO]

[KONGO]

Man, one of the reasons I love Big Business so much is that they put out two albums of straight up fucking burners. Jesus.

That first Rainbow album was really killer.

[KONGO]

Haven't spun this album in ages. Super Badass 3000: Turbo Edition.

Awful album cover, though.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Not sure how I'd rank it compared to their other stuff as a full album, but I do like the first single. Undecided on the rest after hearing it for the first time yesterday.

That first Rainbow album was really killer.

A great one, it was.

"I'm a wheel, Im a wheel, I can roll, I can feel and you can't stop me turning"

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Heard this song for the first time earlier, and I'm now very interested to hear what new Panic have to offer.

[thatshortguy]

New Avenged is just unabashed, modern-day arena metal. They've landed somewhere between prime Motley Crue and Iron Maiden.

Panic's "Vices & Virtues" was better than it had any right to be (but so it goes with pop rock bands produced by Butch Walker). This new one I'm a bit leery on, though I felt the same way when "Mona Lisa" came out before. Will definitely check it out first chance I get.
