What are you listening to?

[Rattlehead]

I will check out Orn's mix at some point but too busy at the moment. On that note, I think it would be sensible to have a thread for each mix (as before). Kind of makes it more obvious a new one is up and then comments and discussion on that don't get mixed up with general comments. IMO of course.

manji, please can you remind us about your sort of music? I seem to recall you like stuff nobody else likes, or has even heard of.

Machine Head - The Blackening

Good album. Been getting into System Of A Down this week.

[Pancake]

****ing love the System.

Im trying to compile a Spotify playlist of covers of metal songs by metal bands... help.

Mahcine Head - Hallowed... and Holy Diver by Killswitch started me off.

[Rattlehead]

Never really got into them but loving it so far. I've had Toxicity for a while and downloaded all of their other albums in one go this week.

On the covers, good choices so far. A few suggestions mainly from my ipod:

Entombed have done some Stormtroopers Of Death covers, including March Of The SOD and Sargeant D. Heard them on Spotify actually and was impressed.
Metallica's cover of Remember Tomorrow is excellent. Metallica have done loads of decent covers actually - Last Caress, So What, Am I Evil, Breadfan, Crash Course In Brain Surgery, The Small Hours, Die Die My Darling etc... I also like their cover of Loverman by Nick Cave.
Therapy? Iron Man. I think Diane might have been a cover as well, albeit not very metal.
Testament - Nobody's Fault (Aerosmith).
Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics!). Not really a MM fan though.
Megadeth - These Boots (Nancy Sinatra?). Make sure it's the original version and not the remastered one as the latter has loads of the words beeped out for copyright reasons and 'humour'. Megadeth's covers are generally poor but this is a good one.
Bonded By Blood - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, even if it is a bit silly.
Motorhead - Louie Louie (can't remember who did the original).
Someone did a good version of Troops Of Doom by Sepultura but can't remember who.
Sepultura - Procreation Of The Wicked (Celtic Frost). This is excellent IMO.
Aerosmith - Train Kept A Rollin' (Yardbirds).
Guns N' Roses - Mama Kin (Aerosmith).
Pantera - Planet Caravan (Sabbath).
Biohazard - After Forever (more Sabbath).
Sacred Reich or Faith No More - War Pigs.
Slayer - Dissident Aggressor.
Anthrax - Antisocial.
Scott Ian of Anthrax also did a decent cover of Metallica's Welcome Home.
Chris Cornell - Billie Jean (not metal at all obviously).
Black Crowes - Hard To Handle.
Also not metal but Free's cover of Crossroads (only a live version I think) is the best I've ever heard. Might squeeze in somewhere if metal is expanded to include rock maybe. Ditto Hendrix All Along The Watchtower.
Embarrassing but Ugly Kid Joe's cover of NIB or even Cats In The Cradle. Shouldn't have mentioned that last one really.

Obviously very few of these are better than the originals but there's some really good stuff on this list. Bound to be loads more as well.

[Pancake]

Cheers mate, will check some of those... a lot do fall outside the realms of metals songs covered by metal atrists though!

Completely forgot about the Sepultura one. Got "Hole In The Sky" for by Pantera cover 8)

Hmm, good point. RTFQ Rattlehead.

Dire Straits - Dire Straits

The band's original album was something of a revelation because it was so different in the pop world at the time; and when Communique came out, I thought we'd got a superbly jazzy/folky/pop 4 piece group. But they went all mainstream, and by the time of Brothers In Arms I couldn't listen to anything they produced any longer.

But this one is very good indeed. Stand outs for me are Water Of Love, Six Blade Knife, In The Gallery, Wild West End and Lions.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

Picked up a copy of the Dark was the Night compilation on Friday and have been listening to it all weekend.

There are a few top tracks, notably from Yeasayer, Feist, The National but a few dud ones too.

I like pretty much all of it tbh. Thought the Arcade Fire one was a bit naff though.

Since getting in late, I've been listening to quite a bit of stuff. But as soon as I found my Peter Gabriel collection looking a little lonely I had to start with PG1 and Moribund the Burgermeister. That led to PG2 and PG3. Never got around to owning PG4, for some odd reason, so it's straight onto So.

Must go to bed though. Important day tomorrow.

New Dylan album - Together Through Life

I'm a big Dylan fan, but this one is a major disappointment. Dylan produced it (using his Jack Frost pseudonym) and the arrangements and mixing are very poorly done. A pretty uninteresting batch of songs, too.



New Neil Young album - Fork in the Road

This is a solid effort. Play it in your car - and play it LOUD.

Went to see Spiritualized on Friday and was pleased with them. Slightly low key performance but moments of real majesty. Was slightly disturbed to learn that I had seen them before around 1997 when they played Brixton Academy with Primal Scream and some other band on Valentines Day. I remember Primal Scream being there but no one else. They were bad times.

Love "Holiday" on that album. Always good fun to "do a Bez" every now and then with P&T&B on!

The Stone Roses - The Second Coming

The Stone Roses - The Second Coming

What a brilliant album.
Indeed. Very underrated aswell due to people expecting it to be similar to the first album. Different direction- and a good job done of it.



As for me- currently listening to Echo and the Bunnymen- Killing Moon- The Best Of.

Agree, if it had come out under a different band name it would be regarded today as a classic of its time IMHO.

Good shout, now queued.

Interpol - Our Love To Admire

Never listened to them before, but I like this.

[Seany S]

Interpol are awesome. I love "Not Even Jail" off "Antics" - turn it up really loud and the intro is freaking sweet. The whole of the first album is first class as well. Apparently the lead singer is about to "drop" his debut solo record, you heard it here first indie kids.

[Chorlton]

The Stone Roses - The Second Coming

What a brilliant album.

Didn't think much of it at the time, but as with others and has been mentioned, I was expecting a similar album to the first. Now I am that bit older I reckon I listen to it at least as much as the first one. Great album, just different to TSR. Stand out track for me (at the moment) is How Do You Sleep? Also, check out the video to 10 Storey Love Song. I think you can see what sort of influences the band were under at the time...

Interpol - Our Love To Admire

Never listened to them before, but I like this.

Their last two have albums IMO have been a bit disappointing but then again, TOTBL was immensely good. There do have one or two great tracks on each though.

[LVSaint]

Ryuichi Sakamoto; Illustrated Musical Encyclopaedia. Great to listen to on hot summer days. Hence why I've been earing it today.

There is a great remix of Anger on the Fungkungfusion compilation by Ninjatune that I am playing now.

[SuperMikey]

Enter Shikari - Common Dreads

Good follow up to 'Take To The Skies', the St-Albans band's first album. 'Juggernauts' is an absolute beast of a song, guarantee it will stick in your head like a b!tch. Rest of the album is a little ho-hum, few songs which could be deemed as filler, but still listenable.

Get: 'Juggernauts', 'The Jester', 'Solidarity'.

[Deppo]

[St Landrew]

A radio dramatisation of The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins. Excellent.

Yesterday evening I was watching [and listening] to Yusuf Islam; that's Cat Stevens to oldies. Having taken up the guitar and writing songs again, the bloke hasn't lost it. It was a delight to watch him play some of his older stuff too.

This sort of thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4-IZTZkTY8

Listening to a really annoying bird sat in a tree just outside my office window. Sounds like a nightmare hybrid of bird and cicada, ****ing constant, cheep cheep cheep - arrrggghhh been at it all morning with no let up. Can't actually see where it is either, so can't try and scare it away.

Dropkick Murphys: Warrior's Code

Shame the sound quality was so crap when they played the So'ton Guildhall, but you've got to expect that there....My little nipper has been playing The Auld Triangle all day.



Went a bit retro at work, was listening to Wire; 154 today.

[manji]

Cold Cave-Cremations. Nice Dark-Gaze album.

The album before 'Standing In The Way Of Control'. God, I love these guys. Just listen to 'Don't Make Waves' and you will too.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here.

Faith No More - The Real Thing

[Rattlehead]

Ponty, did you see them at Download? Superb album and I tried to get tickets for their Brixton gig, but no luck. Interested to hear how they were from anyone who went.

Back on topic, I've been to a couple of gigs this week: Suicidal Tendencies and Anthrax, both excellent and the latter being one of the best gigs I have ever been to. So I've been listening to Anthrax almost none stop. Superb. They have a new album out in October, played a few new ones and they were pretty good.

I didn't, RH, but they did stream their entire gig live on the Download website so I stayed in Friday and watched it. Epic performance ('scuse the pun) but they all look so old nowadays, except Mike who doesn't seem to have changed a bit. They certainly didn't play like they'd been away for a decade.

[Redbul]

I've been listening to Matthew Sweet and Chuck Prophet today. Felt in a guitary mood.

I believe they're playing somewhere else in the UK over summer, but can't remember where and can't find the email, dammit, and it isn't on their website yet. I think it is Reading, which I can't go to. I would deffo like to see them again though, even if the legend that is Jim Martin isn't playing.

Cheers re stream info - I was away for the weekend but will seek out some decent downloads.

[Pancake]

Public Enemy day.

[TheCholulaKid]

Faith No More - The Real Thing

Listened to this the other day. Mighty fine album.

My first stadium gig was Soundgarden and Faith No More supporting GnR at Wembley - seared onto my memory. Faith No More were awesome that day.

I recently watched an interesting documentary about the affect of Hurricane Katrina on the music scene in New Orleans (New Orleans: Music in Exile).

Been listening to albums by the Neville Brothers and Dr. John for the last couple of days. Fantastic stuff!

[The Majestic Channon]

[Seany S]

Man I love the Neville Brothers, awesome indeed. I am stoked for the forthcoming David Simon tv series about musicians in post-Katrina New Orleans ("Treme") it should be essential viewing.

Today I am going all DC/angular and listening to some Jonathan Fire Eater (their first ep), Jesus Lizard "Down" and Fugazi's "In On The Kill Taker".

[Ludwig]

Naughty Pancake.

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

It's quite nice this Phoenix record.

I think United is probably their best, though I haven't got their third one yet. Today I have listened to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - BRMC.

I was shuffling at work today and Working in A Goldmine popped onto my iPod.

That was it, I was back in the 80s with Aztec Camera, Prefab Sprout and Scritti Politti and do you know what? I don't care. Floods of memories from 20+ years ago.

Don't be ashamed of your eighties heritage. Cupid And Psyche and Love are great albums.

I go back further than that (but not too much further!!!!)....I was telling a mate at work today about the Clash gig (16 Tonnes tour) at the Top Rank. That must have been 1979?

This Empire Of The Sun band are quite a bizarre proposition, aren't they?

[Seany S]

mclusky - mclusky Do Dallas.

Awesome band, awesome record. they are sadly missed. Saw them live a couple of times, very entertaining indeed.

I am listening to the "Gummo" OST, nineteen tracks of underground metal and grindcore, absolutely superb. Some of the bands, like Eyehategod, Brujeria and Sleep I have heard of, but there are some real gems from groups I have never heard before.

Depending on the battery on the old MP3 player, next I am going to chill with a bit of My Morning Jacket.
