what music are you guys listening to?


Recommended Posts

ive heard only one good porcupine tree song. fast and impressive technical music does not automatically equal good.
yea, this sounds like someone who has heard blackest eyes, trains, shallow, and halo, and likes trains. this is extremely far off base dude, trust me. barely any of their stuff is fast and technical....their only great instrumentalist is their drummer anyway. it's all in the production, really, thats what makes their music set apart. maybe someone can back me up on this.

Hans, boubie, I'm your white knight

holy shit, I can't stop listening to Run The Jewels 2

Bob Dylan.

If anyone's looking for a few good poppy songs that should appeal to anyone, may I suggest "Someone Great" and "All My Friends" from LCD Soundsystem's near-perfect album Sound of Silver? The entire album is brilliant, but these should work as good entry points to the CD. Pretty straightforward, approachable hooks and good drum machine beats.Wang
I second this; I'm all about this album. "Us v. Them" and "Sound of Silver" (the song) are really good too, in a style more similar to earlier LCD Soundsystem stuff. Speaking of DFA, I've also been listening to Hot Chip a lot lately, since I was able to get my hands on their DJ Kicks mix that doesn't come out until next month.

i actually dont like trains at all. its one of their others which i like, i dont know the name of it though, but it is really good. it was the first song of theirs that i heard so i was disappointed that i couldnt get into any of their other stuff.

She's playing here (seattle) on the 25th, but it's sold out and I can't find a ticket for less than a hundred bucks.Edit: I'm listening currently to Lupe Fiasco's "Food & Liquor"

Everyone who's familiar with my music tastes knows I'm pretty much just a hipster/indie critic-worshipping drone, so I'm listening to:The Twilight Sad- Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen WintersI like it so far, but mostly because somebody told me to, and the leadsinger is so unabashedly fucking Scottish.

Anyone seen The Arcade Fire live? Wang, and everyone else, tells me they've heard they're great, but no one seems to know first-hand. Anyway, I'm seeing them Tuesday, and I'm pretty excited. I think The National are opening.

I saw them two summers ago at the Sasquatch Festival. They were fantastic.

So, is no one else listening to MOTHERFU**IN VOLTA!!!!!!!!!!(is it just me?)Anyway, it's amazing. Get it when it comes out. You'll be happy.(We're talking about the new Bjork album, for the record. The motherfu**in was added by me and is not in the actual title. All rights reserved.)

I can't listen to Bjork. It's just so much noise to me, at least at this point. Without sarcasm intended in the question, can someone try to explain to me why I'm wrong, and, because I'm a poser who can normally make himself like weird stuff with enough effort (it worked with Kid A), maybe recommend an album path to get me up to Bjork-speed?
