Listening to lately

You gotta check out their "Black 1" album. Amazing.

[big d note]

Sabbat - Dreamweaver was cool. Not a huge fan of the singer, but the riffs were good.

Megadeth - Endgame. Finally listened to this one for the first time. I like the new guitarist a lot more than the last guy. I wish Mustaine would quit reading the Left Behind books and neocon bullshit though. Songs like Endgame are going to sound really dumb in 5-10 years. Shut up about the Patriot Act and microchips and the UN. Anytime you make such specific political references in a song it permanently anchors the song to that point in time. Songs like Peace Sells... live on because they transcend that time and place. I'm glad Dave has something to be angry about again though. His music is better when he's pissed off.

[TC]

didn't like martin, huh? great album.

dave's music makes everyone else pissed off enough.

i recently stumbled upon a band called Zero 7. neat little mellow kinda trip-hoppy stuff. not really as heavy on the "trip" as portishead, but more on the mellow.

Check out everything they've done with swedish singer/songwriter Jose Gonzales. Greatness.

I got a mix of new CDs for Christmas, some new, some old ones that I just never got on CD:
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies
Ministry - Psalm 69
Them Crooked Vultures
Slayer - World Painted Blood
Bottle Rockets - Lean Forward

[Alexhead]

Just like everyone else, I got the Vultures...and A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Sparklehorse, Jawbox, No Age, Antlers, Japandroids, Big Star and a couple others.

A Sunny Day In Glasgow

Coming from Philadelphia, I wonder where they pulled that name from, because there sure ain't no sun here.

[demogorgon]

hey, just joined.

few things i've been listening too lately.

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Assassination of Jesse James Ost
Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue
Unkle - War Stories
Valborg - Glorification of Pain
Burzum - Belus
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Killing Sheep - Vile Techniques
Phillip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi

[Alexhead]

That's a good variety.

Probably some irony involved--and, you know, it's NOT always sunny in Philadelphia, either.

[TC]

Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
Electro Quarterstaff - Gretzky
Voivod - Voivod
Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare
The Police - Message In A Box
Harkonin - Detest

[Draesk]

Noticed Dark Tranquillity on Marcus' playlist there. Been listening to them a lot recently too, I just love 'Fiction'.

[_Marcus_]

Fiction is a good one, Damage One a better one.

The new album, We are the void, is also worth a listen, especially the amazing final track.

[TC]

yeah, except for the piss-poor mastering.

After seeing Into the Wild for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I've been listening to an unhealthy amount of Eddie Vedder. His soundtrack for the film is brilliant, especially Long Nights and Society. Great. Wish he would just quit Pearl Snooze and go do stuff on his own.

just downloaded the new Streetlight Manifesto album, and they cover a NOFX song on there. It's made me get all nostalgic and start listening to nofx again. and I swore I was done with them, go figure.
