What music are you listening to?

[Drake Smashem]

Mother Goose by Jethro Tull

Jethro Tull is awesome. I don't care what anyone says!

[Krone]

Buzzin' by Shwayze

Handlebars by Flobots

[SRN]

Currently; "Let Them Burn" by Kataklysm.

I have really gone totally batshit crazy in love with Kataklysm as of late. They produce some really awesome stuff and yesterday I just couldn't resist the urge of acquiring another two Kataklysm albums, namely "In The Arms Of Devastation" and "Shadows & Dust". Both were, off course, great.

I'm listening to the HorrorPops. Danish psychobilly rock sounds fucking immense.

[Sick N Twisted]

Nothingface's album "Skeletons"

[SRN]

Currently listening to God Dethroned. Saw them at Nummirock and had never heard them before but was amazed at how awesome their music, and their guitar work was so I decided to buy two albums. They are, as expected, very great.

[Gabriel]

New Alice Cooper, Along Came a Spider... first songs are pretty kickass. He's done a good job of keeping his unique sound and modifying it to the times without changing too much.

Also, Unwritten Law's album Elva.

[MDK]

The new radicals album. Its such a good album, go and listen to it.

[GA!]

Both Bloc Party albums, in an attempt to get into another band before Leeds in three weeks time. So far so good.

[SRN]

Summoning. Thanks go to Bushmeister for introducing me to them. God, they are awesome.

[Phleanix]

Holy Diver - Ronnie James Dio

Followed by:

Holy Diver - Killswitch Engage

Trying to figure out the better version.... or at least the one I prefer.

Finally listening to the latest Boris album, Smile.

Is it possible for them to not rock the socks off of everybody? I don't think so.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Good choice with Nothingface, "Skeletons" Sick N Twisted.

"Alpha" and "Hope and Sorrow" by Sevendust, 7D session for me today.

[Katsuya]

I finally got the new Sons and Daughters album today, since I had a new iTunes card and liked the one song that I had of them (Split Lips).

It is rather good, which I'm quite happy about.

[IAceI]

Deja Entendu by Brand New. Why I didn't get this earlier because I like the Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, but this is amazing. It's probably a must have album for people who like the music I do.

[LexChaney]

Young At Heart - Classic Early 80's.

Its about five CD's and its been worth every penny that I paid for, alone "Vienna" by Ultravox has been the best song as well as "Fade to Grey".

[Skummy]

Tom Waits' "Orphans" collections - fuck me, his version of the Ramones' "Danny Says" is absolutely bloody brilliant, really just took my breath away...I'd even forgotten all about the Ramones version existing in the first place, so it was like a double-whammy of perfect pop song...only, Tom Waits-ified.

Finally listening to the latest Boris album, Smile.

Is it possible for them to not rock the socks off of everybody? I don't think so.

I wasn't a big fan of Smile. Just seemed a bit weak compared to the rest of their stuff - although, admittedly, everything else they've done is made of unadulterated RAWK of the highest order, so it's excusable.

Skummy - while you're here - recommend me a Scott Walker album please. You're the man to ask about him if I remember correctly and I really like the few songs I've heard of him so far. Thanks!

[Skummy]

Depends what you're after. For latter day Scott Walker, the more full-on melodramatic and experimental stuff - all abstract lyricism and avant-garde neo-classical orchestral backing, then you want to go with either Tilt or The Drift, I'd probably recommend Tilt as it's more rooted in "rock" and "popular music" than The Drift, so possibly it would be easier to get into. If you're more into the croonier stuff, or at least the more conventional stuff, then you really can't go wrong with Scott 4; it's his first album to be comprised solely of his own compositions, and it's worth it just for "The Old Man's Back Again", really, or just to be able to see where The Last Shadow Puppets nicked everything from. Scott Walker Sings Jacques Brel is good too, if a bit corny in places, mostly thanks to the OTT orchestration.

If you can get hold of it, I've no idea if it's still available or what kind of price it would be, there's a five-disc retrospective called "Scott Walker In Five Easy Pieces", which breaks his career up into moods, rather than breaking it down chronologically (although there tends to be correlation), which can be good. And if you haven't already seen it, definitely check out the 30 Century Man documentary film.

Charlie Parker All-Stars. Oh my, this is love. I'm going to fall asleep listening to this. Best jazz since the first time I heard Love Supreme.
