What Are You Listening To?

[MANUMAD]

My prediction was correct :)

Its amazing how the mainstream has aligned with quality as far as they are concerned!!!!

Btw there will be an article about the "best 100 british albums of all time" in this week's NME which should be interesting ...

Uncle mad has been listening to: Ryan Adams - Love is Hell, Ryan Adams - 29, Sigur Ros - Takk, the Madonna new album as well as The Smiths - The world wont listen from my collection

Artic monkeys and hard-fi yayyyyyyy

[Seeph]

I found a website with about 10 White Stripes gigs on last week so went a bit mental listening to them lately. Every time they play it's a totally different set so really interesting for me, my last.fm profile has taken a bit of a battering though now with the Stripes well out in front!

Bright Eyes "Fevers and Mirrors" also acquired last week, blinding.

[Spurs Forever]

Just brought Rod Stewart: The Great American Songbook Collection

And its pretty good.....

A lot of people slate him saying he's cheesy etc.......but its better than the emo **** most of my m8s listen 2!

Could I possibly have a link?

[Seeph]

White Stripes? I think it's http://www.redcandycane.net

They don't all work, some have been taken down, the Vancouver one is particularly good though. Paris one hasn't got the best quality but it's about a week before I saw them so similar-ish set

Oh yea, the site, c'est en Francais

Q Magazine did a similar poll about 18 months ago - with Stone Roses coming top. Can't find the UK version of the list - so here's the same list from a Dutch site:
http://www.muzieklijstjes.nl/Observer100june2004.htm

If that NME best of has the Artic Monkeys in there at all, I'll scream. Way too early to be saying whether it's one of the best of all time yet. Even though they gave it 10/10.

That's what i don't like about the NME, they hype up bands when they have their debut album, and then slate them and throw them off their pedestal when the band goes in a different direction, musically or otherwise.

The Arctic Monkeys are good, but will they stand the test of time? I don't think they'll be around forever, but they are good as they are at the moment.

I get NME, although it does tick me off how bias they are to bands, but on the back page it had the advert for next weeks (or this weeks) one and the Arctic Monkeys album was on it.

So if it is actually on it that must be a record, out for 2 days (1 day if your in London) and its already in the Top 100 albums.

Its pathetic, theres some good songs, some of the tracks are distinctly average like The View From The Afternoon

[Matty R]

The Arctic Monkeys are good, but will they stand the test of time? I don't think they'll be around forever, but they are good as they are at the moment.

I'm listening to the album while I type this. As far as I can tell, they're a mix of Kaiserchiefs, Oasis and Franz Ferdinand. All the songs sound the same, and the lead singer sounds a bit like Rod Stewart. Thats not a good thing. :rolleyes:

[Unitedjack5]

im lisening to Jimmy Eat World(bleed american) especially the song "the Middle" and twisted sister
Bullet in a Bible green day

[Matty R]

I'm going through Ash's 1977 album now. :)

[NEWCASTLE FAN]

NME does hype Arctic Monkeys far too much, I agree, but the album is amazing. I love all of it, except maybe Mardy Bum, which is worse than the demo :( But still, an amazing album and one of my faves of all time, easily. But in my eyes they can do no wrong :o

Sure they have an indie influence in them, but theres not many British bands that dont, I think the monkeys sound as fresh as the streets when they first came out, only better.
I enjoyed the album, great 'goin out' music

Oh, I'm not trying to say they're crap or anything. I was just a bit disappointed. I'm the same with Oasis. I think everything sounds the same, and I don't see what all the fuss is with U2. Theres hardly anything of theirs that doesn't make me tired. :rolleyes:

[OPETH]

Ive got a date tonight, And i'm thikning that I shou;d tone down the music I have in the Car(Useaully Heavy metal) nah screw It Within Temptation it is at least they have a female lead singer I could have Death on instead

[Justy]

Kate Bush.... Aerial, dead funky, well relaxing anyhows, tomorrow night i'm off to the nme gig..... Arctic Monkeys, Maximo Park, We are Scientists and The Mystery Jets,plus the obligatory 10 pints of the dark stuff, should be great craic.

Agreed don't really like NME they hype bands far to much. Although i do think Arctic Monkeys are really, really good. Listened to their demos an awful lot and i'm gettin their album tommorrow with my hmv vouchers left over from christmas. :)

[NEWCASTLE FAN]

I love Mardy Bum! Excellent track IMO!

Yeah, it's a wicked track - but i prefered the demo version!

[LMAvfc]

I'll reserve judgement on the Arctic Monkeys until I've heard the full album, but I've not been at all impressed by either of their singles - don't like the lyrics or music and the vocals are pretty grating.
Is there anywhere free on the net to (legally) listen to any of their other tracks? I seemed to be the only person who didn't like Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and t'other song (titles are too long ;)) but I'd like to be able to understand the hype...

[Seeph]

I know the NME site streams albums sometimes it might be worth a look on there? I'd be surprised if they didn't have it on there the amount they've been arselicking them.

[Rubbergenius]

Yeah - listened to the stream of it last night. 5/10 at the moment. Wasn't really impressed, especially because I hoped the biggest selling album of all time (or thereabouts) would actually be quite good.

Perhaps I'm getting old and it just didn't click with me, but I was disappointed.

Mardy Bum was pretty good (preferred the demo version though), the singles are good, and the last track wasn't too bad, but the rest didn't fill me with much enthusiasm.

Payday today so I finally can buy some albums - get the Godspeed album, along with Brian Eno, the Doors and an album by an US band called Eluvium (very Sigur Ros-like soundscapes). See, look at those choices. I am getting old.

In my great alphabetical album extravaganza I'm up to Fun Lovin Criminals, then the Futureheads. Powering through now - only 22 letters left to go!

[MANUMAD]

That's what i don't like about the NME, they hype up bands when they have their debut album, and then slate them and throw them off their pedestal when the band goes in a different direction, musically or otherwise.

You (and all the others in the thread) are of course correct about NME hyping bands but this has always been a feature of the british weekly press (Melody Maker was even worse) but I always take it with a pinch of salt and I d take NME's enthusiasm over the boring "maturity" of sludge like Q (still reviewing people like Sting with a straight face for f's sake!!!!), Mojo and the like any time.

[Psycho's Reds]

Bought the Kings of Leon, Aha Shake Heartbreak from Woolies in the sale over Xmas, listened to it about 10 times, its brilliant, different, and definitely one of the best albums I've ever bought.

Can anyone tell me what the first album was like? I've been told by someone at work that its not that good, however I've just lent him this album and he loves it.

[Rubbergenius]

Kings of Leon first album? Pretty good - the wife has it. If it wasn't for the copy control on it I would have listened to it quite a lot on my PC, but the Man says I can't, so it remains in the CD rack...

[Justy]

Top stuff Psycho, that achy breaky heart cd never left my car for 2 months i love it, the first albums pretty good but aha shake heartbreak is a classic.I hope these clowns are good tonight,mardy bum where do they get them from.Downloaded another great Godspeed album today Rubber, F#A#oo,three mayhem tracks,these guys are amazing,check them out .Eluvium i'll chek them out,thanks for the tip.

[Matty R]

I've just "acquired" the Kings Of Leon album. Once I'm done with these two Puddle Of Mudd albums I'll go through it. :)

[Grizfoot]

My mates just got me some tickets to see The Ordinary Boys at the Manchester Academy in March, should be good :)

[Matty R]

I listened to that Kings Of Leon album. I didn't really like it. :rolleyes:

I'm going through the Stereophonics discography now. :thumbs:

Good choice :D Word gets around is my fave album of all time!

[Matty R]

Thanks mate. :thumbs: I've gone through "Just Enough education To Perform" so far. Pretty decent. I'll go through the rest tomorrow. There are only 5 albums aren't there?

[charlton fan]

White Stripes? I think it's http://www.redcandycane.net

Thanks very much.

Arctic Monkeys' debut is the fifth best british album of all time according to the NME :rolleyes:. Ok Computer came 30 something. Silly, silly NME.

[MANUMAD]

Thanks very much.

You have to admit that NME is always a "bit" of a laff.

On Kings of Leon:

I actually think that their first album is better than their (also very good) second one.

[Seeph]

That NME poll is even more ridiculous than I was expecting, Holy Bible 32 places or something below Arctic Monkeys? Bunch of planks

RG - I've got KOL first album as mp3, I'll gmail it if you like, I couldnt rip it off the CD either so I downloaded it (I bought it first before anyone starts) the second one is better though I think and only a fiver in Virgin!!

Copy protection winds me right up, got a mint Interpol EP (Black sessions I think) and can't get that bugger on my computer either

[Grizfoot]

Listening to The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys new albums at current :thumbs:

Thats good to know. I had them all. I wasn't too impressed with "You Gotta Go There To Come Back" though.

I think I've been listening to too much Guns N' QualityStreet. :rolleyes:

[charlton fan]

Downloaded the Vancouver White Stripes gig. Thanks again Seeph. It's absolutley amazing. There such a great band; I want to see them live even more now.

[Seeph]

It's brilliant that one isn't it, its from the same tour as the Blackpool Lights DVD is from I think so quite similar, although they can do a completely different set one night to the next, that's why I love them so much.

The manchester date they did on this tour looked an amazing set, it shat on the one I saw at Blackpool but Manc had sold out, was fairly gutted but still had a blast when I saw them

Glastonbury was something else entirely as well - you have to see them next time they're over definitely. Hopefully if they do any new stuff it'll be back to the guitary stuff though, I just cant get into GBMS like I have the others.

Also - someone mentioned it to me the other day, I never realised before, every album has a song title "Little" then something?

I really should be revising.

[charlton fan]

I got the Blackpool DVD for Christmas, very good indeed; completely met my expectations.

That 'Little' then something thing in their albums is completely true:
The White Stripes- Little People
De Stijl- Little Bird
White Blood Cells- Little Room
Elephant- Little Acorns
Get Behind Me Satan- Little Ghost

Never noticed that until now.

[Grizfoot]

Listen to The White Stripes now and again. Blue Orchid is a top song :thumbs:

[OPETH]

Ive dug up Voivods war and pain from 1984, its sounds better than I remebered

[Rubbergenius]

Voivod - I wasn't a fan but I had quite a few mates into that while I was in sixth form. Gwar, AC/DC, early Metallica etc etc. I was in that stuff for about ten minutes before turning indie ;)

Listened to my new purchases - Bruce Springsteen Live is great as expected, Eluvium is good but the first half of the album is very samey (two tracks are out this world though, if you like your 'ambient soundscapes'), Bright Eyes is great folk pop and Godspeed sounds brilliant at points (need to listen to it a few times I'll guess - same as usually happens with Sigur Ros).

However, starting to get into Josef K (early 80s Scottish band) over the weekend - excellent post-punk stuff, very similar to Joy Division and certainly an influence on Franz Ferdinand. I'll be listening to them more over the next few weeks and months I can confirm.

[Lord Of The Wing]

i can listen to most types of music apart from heavy metal type stuff(if that is what its called)

i listen to 2pac all the time, and the past few months ive been listening to his l8est album: 2pac - Loyal to the Game

apart from tupac i listen to all music in general(mostly the radio p.s. clyde 1 if ur interested) but i have to say from growing up listening to my dads type music - 60's, 70's basically, the kinks, the beattles, the animals etc

and theres more lol my brothers got me into reggae music - ub40, Uncle Bob etc. not sure what topic Dr Hook comes under but i like them, and also bob dylan

ok i gotta stop somewhere lol :thumbs:

[MANUMAD]

Sigur Ros - Takk.

Awesome.

Three cheers to Charlton Fan.

[Rubbergenius]

Yep, certainly worth number two in my top five of the year. Play it while driving along a motorway late at night and it's phenomonal.

[Seeph]

The () album is better though, get that if you can.

I love them, I can't believe they've chosen two days before dissertation hand in to play Manchester, my mate says they are incredible live, I am gutted

[re_hashed]

I know this is a thread for 'good songs/albums' but as it's titled 'What are you listening to' I think this is allowed.

Currently listening to The Streets. What a complete and utter load of tosh, absolute rubbish.

Mike Skinner, everyone claims to be a lyrical genious. His most poetic output involves rhyming words like "brandy or beer ... water's a good idea ... i wish that bar lady would appear ... come and serve over here"

It's the most abysmal head-in-ass sixth form poetry I've ever heard.

[Seeph]

I quite like his first album, some of the stuff he says is pretty spot on even if the ryming grates a bit.

Second albums rubbish though

[Rubbergenius]

I disagree - I think it's absolute genius stuff. He talks about what he sees, he tells funny and interesting stories and lyrically and musically it's excellent. 'Dry Your Eyes' was way overplayed at the time, but that's not really his fault. Both albums are great - agreeing with Seeph, the first album was better though. Modern day Shakespeare in my opinion (The Streets, not Seeph!)

We've got another thread on The Streets somwhere - couldn't find it though. I remember at the time it was about 50/50 between love him or hate him. A real 'marmite' artist/band.

[Seeph]

I just think it's too much of a novelty record the second one, too many cheesey lines and hooks, the song about being on pills that re_hashed mentions is class though.

Dry Your Eyes makes me want to harm people.

[Nab]

Lyrically brilliant, beats and musically are poop though.

Sounds like hes tapping on a table or bottle in most of their songs.

Dud Dud, Dud dud...And so on

[re_hashed]

the song about being on pills that re_hashed mentions is class though.

Ohhhh now you say that, it makes much much more sence.

it's a pretty good tune actually, I've just listened to it a few times back to back. I think that I really need to 'listen' to this album propper before I can slate it, I'll reserve my judgement till then.

[MANUMAD]

On The Streets Im with RG - really affecting, funny, moving insightful songwriting, though NAB has a bit of the point about the music. I wouldnt call it poop but its very basic ... but maybe this works better as it brings the lyrics to the fore.

Eagerly awaiting the third album.

Btw just ordered the new R. Ashcroft album.

Have loved him for ages ....

[Seeph]

Bit disappointing the new Ashcroft album for me. The title track is good though.

The single sounds like Robbie Williams at the beginning.

[jambo4ever]

Richard Ashcroft is class, Music is power is class (I think thats what its called correct me if im wrong)

[Justy]

Tried that Eluvium RG good tip, is Bright Eyes any good.

[George Williams]

Louis XIV - The best little secrets are kept, is fantastic
Clap your hands say yeah - its good, although I havent listened to a lot of it
Arctic Monkeys - Its over-rated

[Grizfoot]

Arctic Monkeys - Its over-rated
Maybe slightly, but i'd still give it a 9 out of 10. My favourite songs have got to be 'A View From The Afternoon' and 'A Certain Romance'

Also anyone else notice that the intro to 'Mardy Bum' sounds like that tune about being under a tree that was on the vodafone advert around christmas time.

[Seeph]

Tried that Eluvium RG good tip, is Bright Eyes any good.

Yes yes yes

The bloke is a genius. Two albums last year, ones quite folky the others more of an electronic affair so depends what you're after. Get both if you can though, I like the Digital Ash... one better myself though

[charlton fan]

Bright Eyes are pretty good, I prefer Desaparecidos though. It's the same guy (Conor Oberst), not sure why they have different names.

Currently adoring- My Bloody Valentine- Loveless. Don't be put of by the emo-esque band name, they're a mid 80s alternative band that are unlike anything I've heard. Amazing stuff.

[heffa]

Lets take a vote what do people think is the best new song of the year so far?

[jambo4ever]

Lets take a vote what do people think is the best new song of the year so far?
Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down

[charlton fan]

Does it have to be a single?

I'll say Be Your Own PET- Adventure. It's bound to be released soonish.

[heffa]

Does it have to be a single?

I'll say Be Your Own PET- Adventure. It's bound to be released soonish.
Not out yet and yes it does have to be a single.

[charlton fan]

If it has to be a single, I'll say The Raconteurs- Steady, As She Goes.

[re_hashed]

Currently listening to The Kooks album

Mighty fine band they be, I'm assuming that Seeph has come across them what are other people's views on them ?

What do people think of the new ****ie Ashcroft material? I'm currently not convinced, it's all a bit mundane but mind you Human Conditions was pretty weak, but maybe that'll always be the case because they/he is not the Verve (who were one of the best few bands IMO)

[Rubbergenius]

I don't really look at the single charts so I don't really know what's been released. I could say Go! Team (Ladyflash) or the Editors (Munich) but that's a cheat. So I'll go with nothing yet - although the forthcoming Flaming Lips single (Wand) is ace.

[Seeph]

Jury's out on Raconteurs for me, the two tracks I've heard a pretty poor considering the talent available, just a bit bland really, none of the magic I expected. Early days though.

re_hashed - I posted up above about Ashcroft I think, not feeling it really, title track pretty good but overall a bit of a disappointing album. It's shame as I loved the Verve, I've gone on about A Northern Soul on here enough it's probably tehir peak, History is simply magnificent.

[Grizfoot]

It's a bit to early for the single of the year i'd say ;)

Anyone else listen to We Are Scientists?

[jambo4ever]

Anyone else listen to We Are Scientists?
Yep they are brill, great escape and its a hit rock

[charlton fan]

We are Scientists' album only had one decent track- The Great Escape. Rest was naff.

[Rubbergenius]

Just heard the Raconteurs track - it's OK, I like Tenacious D and Brendan Benson, but ths isn't not great just yet IMO.

Also 'found' the new Massive Attack single 'Live With Me' - brilliant. A incredibly depressing tune as well so even better. ;)

[Ice Cube]

Update on the great Alphabetical Music Marathon - Day 21, up to J now, so today consists of EIGHT AND A HALF HOURS of Joy Division. 131 songs. I love Joy Division but I'm four hours in and I'm already manically depressed.

[Bunjemark]

Lost in a moment the new cd by Lene Marlin

She is probably best described as Norway's version of Dido.:)

My favourite song at the moment is Leave my mind.

Hey, where are you getting all this Joy Division from that I don't have?

I have Unknown Pleasures, Closer and the Heart and Soul box set. That's only about 90 songs though.

I'm currently still listening to the BYOP album. It's really really great.

Unknown Pleasures, Closer, Still, Heart and Soul and the Preston live concert CD (which is quality, especially when Curtis and Sumner start complaining halfway through that their amps don't work). Lots of Joy Division!

The digital Ash...lol me likes,i'll try it tomorrow,Charlton Fan,i ripped My Bloody Valentine today,good stuff,RG try Cat Power a nice listen,also how did you get on with Godspeed...i love it.

[charlton fan]

I bought the new Belle and Sebastian album yesterday. It's very good. Not their best but in the top three probably.

I like the new Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs song which is on their website and Dirty Pretty Things have put a new song on their site as well. It's pretty good.

[Rubbergenius]

I didn't like it that much unfortunately - I much prefer their earlier albums.

Justy - Godspeed was great cheers. My Bloody Valentine - one of the few albums you can play quiet or play loud and they sound completely different.

'Feels' is a superb album. I downloaded it when it was voted second best album of 2005 behind Illinoise on a Radiohead forum. I really really like it.

[George Williams]

Anyone heard much of Two Gallants or The Voom Bloom?

Both awesome

[Justy]

A Radiohead Forum...theres a coincidence(sp) i'm now listening to Kid A

[Prod_Freak]

I've been listening to the Queens of the Stone Age, my god they make some good music, it's loud and yet well put together, it isn't a thrash fest like most bands in their genre...

My fave tune at the moment is off Rated R, called Quick and to the Pointless. It's exactly what it says on the tin!

[Justy]

Now listening to Shpongle... Are you Shpongled, very strange ambient vibes, RG if you like the Godspeed , try Explosions in the Sky...The Earth is not,its all instrumental but kind of more uplifting.

[OPETH]

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell :) Cemetery gates one of the greatest songs I've heard
Best ever display of guitar solo's in that song ive ever heard

[charlton fan]

Single of the Year 2006

Flaming Lips - The Wand

Saves me writing it in December ;)
Finally heard this song today. It's mind-blowingly amazing.

[Rubbergenius]

Now listening to Shpongle... Are you Shpongled, very strange ambient vibes, RG if you like the Godspeed , try Explosions in the Sky...The Earth is not,its all instrumental but kind of more uplifting.

Yeah, got a few Explosions in the Sky tracks - took one off their official label website (http://www.temporaryresidence.com/mp3s/index.php) - they're the stablemates of the other band I've enjoyed listening to recently, Eluvium.

[Rubbergenius]

Apologies for the double post - it's far enough apart for a different comment. Listening to Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd after the Classic Albums programme was on BBC2 earlier. What a great album it is. Pink Floyd - masters of prog rock or dull, noodling crap that your dad listened to but you hate?

I must be turning into my dad as I love Pink Floyd now, especially DSOTM album. Still the best album to smoke less-than-legal substances to. ;) Apparently.

was amazing to see em at live8

i think ill listen to Roger Waters - Radio Kaos or Pink Floyd - Echoes :D

[Justy]

Apologies to Seeph see post 1105, sorry mate i'm embarassed you were recommending Bright eyes, i thought you meant they sounded like a digital ASH
on checking the discography i see this is an album title of Bright Eyes, anyhows got hold of Wide Awake and am enjoying it.Charlton Fan probably preaching to the converted here but if you like the Feels try.. Neutral Milk Hotel...In The Aeroplane... got to be the best Indie Album Ever ......Strong Claims indeed.
Thanks for the Link RG i'll try that.

Oh currently listening to Chutes to Narrow.....The Shins

[charlton fan]

Charlton Fan probably preaching to the converted here but if you like the Feels try.. Neutral Milk Hotel...In The Aeroplane... got to be the best Indie Album Ever ......Strong Claims indeed.

I have In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. I haven't got into properly but it has some decent moments.

I watched the Dark Side of the Moon programme.Very good album indeed. I prefer Piper at the Gates of Dawn though.

[OPETH]

Dark Tranquillity - Character , One of the rare albums of 2005/2006 that I love

[Rubbergenius]

This week's purchases have been evaluated and the Richard Hawley album is a gem of a CD - great bluesy, folksy pop music - he's got a voice like Elvis I suppose, but much more relaxed. Certainly worth trying if you want something more laidback and, shiock horror for me, quite happy music.

Sigur Ros is Sigur Ros and I'd heard () loads of times - but just listening to it again after a couple of years away from it and boy, it's wonderful. Takk got number two in my best of 2005, this would easily get number one. It's a pity it was released in 2002 when it was beaten to number one in my poll of that year by Flaming Lips.

Saw Clap Your Hands Say Yeah the other night - certainy worth the eight quid entrance, very good live (if a bit quiet between songs - didn't interact much) and, interesting, the first song of the CYHSY album - which, if you've heard it, sounds completely bizarre - actually makes sense if you hear it live. Wonders will never cease.

Got the Go! Team gig on Thursday and can't wait for that - that'll be a barnstormer of a concert I hope.

[MANUMAD]

Yeah DSOTM is brill especially with the volume turned up on a quality hi fi.

Wish you were here is also nice.

Dunno about The Wall though - it has some great songs but also some real duds.

[charlton fan]

Finally got my hand made Yndi Halda EP today. I'll post a picture of it later maybe.

More importantly the music is brilliant. I'd recommend it to anyone into post-rock e.g. Godspeed You! Black Emperor. You can listen to a few tracks on their MySpace (www.myspace.com/yndihalda) and order the EP for £5 on their website (www.yndihalda.com).

[Grizfoot]

Anyone listen to Mystery Jets??

If so are the any good and who they sound like, if anyone

Quite liked 'Can't Fool Me Dennis' but that's about it from what I've heard. I'll give their album a fair chance when it leaks.

I'm listening to Michael Jackson at the moment - Off the Wall (good album - back when he used to be known just for his music).

I'm still on my alphabetical musical odyssey (day 29) - obviously about halfway through M at the moment.

[George Williams]

There live set was on Lamacq last week, it was quite good, so there album should be alright.

[Grizfoot]

Four tracks on their MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/mysteryjets).
They where on TOTP tonight as well. Very impressive i must say, going to consider getting their album when it comes out :)

[George Williams]

I've been listening to Steve Lamacq Radio 1 show on Monday nights and there are some quality new bands around on there.

Last night there was Little Man Tate, The Pidgeon Detectives, The Kooks, Mystery Jets, Giant Drag and there was live sets from We Are Scientists and Maximo Park.

I'd recommend it to anyone who likes good music

Not sure what time, but you can listen again to all BBC Radio on their website - this is the Radio 1 page:

Just click on Lamacq Live link top right.

New band some of you might like - The Grates. They supported the Go! Team last week when I saw them, and they're worth a giggle. Shout like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as fronted by a mad Aussie bird. Downloaded their debut EP last night (legally!) and it's pretty good. Very good punk pop fun. The wife loves it.
http://www.thegrates.com/
http://www.myspace.com/thegrates

Also found their UK record label is run by a bloke I know that I used to buy records off in Durham. I bought Nirvana 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' off him the week it came out. Ain't it a small world.

[Grizfoot]

Thanks Rubber.

This is quite good, well worth a look

Also listening to ashes by Embrace and burning benches by morning runner

[C_Suthe]

Maximo Park are a fine band.

Currently listening to The Life Pursuit by Belle And Sebastian - by far their best yet and thats saying something! Pure genius and catchy as scabs (ask your dirty uncle).

[Rubbergenius]

Not much of a fan of the Life Pursuit - pity as I do like the band and loved their early stuff. Perhaps I need to listen to it a bit more.

[jambo4ever]

Iam lisnin to Belle and Sebastian - Funny Little Frog, these guys are brilliant! :D

[Seeph]

I've got most of the mystery jets album, it is indeed quality and I will be buying when it comes out

Can't really get into Life Pursuit, it's pleasant enough but I've never been a massive B&S fan

Other than that I got hold of what I consider to be one of the most bizarre White Stripes performances I've ever heard last week, download it here if you want (I reckon it might interest you Tom)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TSN5SAEU

It's from Japan from a couple of years back, they are usually a bit odd but this is off the scale, brilliant stuff, Jack's quote at the start of I Just Don't Know What... is priceless and some of the spins they take on familiar songs are great (listen to the ODB rap halfway through "Little Bird" as for example)

Gutted! I just saw the first line of your post and the link and I thought the Mystery Jets album had been leaked!

Couple of new albums out soon, Morning Runner, Mystery Jets, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more

[MANUMAD]

Can I show my ignorance and ask who it is?

Jack White of The White Stripes.

Btw your avatar is quite funny. Is it supposed to be anybody or is it just a random picture of a fan?

[re_hashed]

Currently listening to the new Charlatans album (Simpatico - which incidently isn't released till 3rd April)

Considering that the previous couple have been pretty mundane this one is actually pretty decent, more like the old Charlatans that us oldies have come to love.

Ill have to disagree there. Their last Lp was brill - my favourite of the year actually.

Richard Ahscroft
Ian Brown
Embrace
KT Tunstall
Editors
Magic Numbers

[Rubbergenius]

Whether through design or not, I never got the last album - the only Charlatans album I don't own. I should pick it up, see what it's like.

Got Tim Burgess' solo album a few months back for a couple of quid and that was good for a listen or two - nothing classic, just a nice did of singer/songwriter stuff.

He's the captain of the Welsh rugby team, and the teams highest ever try scorer :) Unfortunately he's just been ruled out for 12 weeks because of a damage to a vital vein in his neck. :(

But back to the music... anyone on here like Little Man Tate? I know Tom's heard of 'em. They're another Sheffield band in the same category as the Arctic Monkeys, or so say the journalists. They came down to Cardiff on Valentines day but I was ill and couldnt go, absolutely gutted. I'm really loving their stuff at the moment - especially "Hello Miss Lovely (so you like my jeans?)"

Little Man Tate are very good, as are Harrisons and The Pidgeon Detectives.

Me and my mate were trying to decide who has the better music scene Leeds or Sheffield.

Its such a hard desicion in Sheffield you had Pulp and now theres Arctic Monkeys, Little Man Tate, Harrisons etc but in Leeds theres the whole Dance To The Radio scene, Kaiser Chiefs (who I dont like but are popular) and many more good bands.

[Rubbergenius]

I want to know more about the Leeds scene (as I'm here) but I never get chance to go and see the local bands play. Anyone know of any good 'uns? Obviously Kaiser Chiefs - who else is coming out of Leeds like Milburn and Arctic Monkeys from Sheffield are?

[NILZ]

Been listening to "the Crimea," I would recommend their album based on what i've heard so far.
Also enjoying "Gogol Bordello" and "Alkaline trio" (a strange mix, i know.)
Does anyone know where I can buy Bordello's "Gypsy punks" or AT's "crimson" in the UK? I can't seem to find them in any HMV or anywhere else.
Looking for Switchfoot- "Nothing is sound" if anyone can help out with that, it would also be much appreciated.

iForward,russia! are a great band from Leeds, absolutely amazing and Whiska's (there guitarist) has a record label (Dance To The Radio).

Dance To The Radio have a compilation CD out soon

Linky (http://www.dancetotheradio.com/)
Myspace ( http://www.myspace.com/dancetotheradiolabel )

I need to get it myself, but its full of quality bands (Well I personally like them)

Some bands I know of though are...

iForward,russia!, The Pidgeon Detectives, The Sunshine Underground etc

EDIT: Heard today that Test Icicles are splitting up :( Disappointed they are a good band!

Also just got a few songs by Mystery Jets, The Young Knives, Belle and Sebastian, iForward,Russia! and The KBC

[Rubbergenius]

Heard a biut of Forward Russia before - got some somewhere and they're pretty good. Liked the Pigeon Detectives cheers - might catch them in town soon - they've got a gig in a couple of weeks at the Cockpit.

[Grizfoot]

My uncle actually knows the drummer from Little Man Tate. :eek: :D

I've listened to them quite a bit and they are very good, didn't know anyone else know who they where though to be honest. :)

Orson - No Tomorrow
The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love (Thanks Stu)
Stereophonics - Dakota
U2 - Original of the species
U2 - City of Blinding Lights
OkGo! - A million ways

Haven't a clue why I like that song by the rakes as I think it's crap :D I'm confused. The video to 'A million ways' is great, but the song isn't bad too ;)

My faves on there have to be Embrace, Morning Runner and Orson. Quality.

[Rubbergenius]

Nowt wrong with The John. Got Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on CD.

"Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", "Benny and the Jets", "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" - all classics. "Candle in the Wind" may be less so...

[OPETH]

Ive got Judas Priest on now, ahhhhhh im back to normal :)

[MANUMAD]

Strangeways Here We Come - The Smiths. An amazing, funny, sad even rocking album.

[Rubbergenius]

Great album - ties with The Queen is Dead as the Smiths best. Some days I'm in one, other days I'm into the other.

Got Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works Volume II' (love the first one) last night - haven't heard it yet but I'm preparing myself for some 'difficult-listening' music ;)

[Roy 123]

I've just gone through some of my CD's only to find Gun's N Roses Welcome to the jungle which is cool although i don't remember buying it hmmm what the hell its still good. :D

1) I remember when it came out it got very mixed reviews and was considered the worst Smiths album but for me it has stood the test of time more than the other (great ones).

2) Cant get into crazy ol' Aphex no matter how I try.

[Rubbergenius]

Listened to the Aphex Twin album - yep, it's difficult ;) But the sound is super - ambient noise. Most people would probably hate it but it's my kinda stuff sometimes.

Just about to go past 10,000 tunes on Last.fm - http://www.last.fm/user/rubbergenius - should go past it sometime late this afternoon. Due to listen to Pink Floyd or the Pixies about then.

[Grizfoot]

I've kind of gone completely blank on what this song is called and who's it by. (i do this from time to time).

It goes like this:
Your just jealous
You never did the things that you never never did so well.

So can anyone tell me what it is?

I saw it performed live at the NME awards last week. Pretty rubbish really.

Speaking of the NME awards live performances weren't Babyshambles great?

[NEWCASTLE FAN]

They were okay, I guess. Speaking of the Sugababes cover, did you see when Arctic Monkeys collected the award for best song they all applauded it, but Andy had to add "Wrong key though" at the end. Quality.

I was pretty intriqued by Plan B at the awards aswell, rap over an acoustic guitar - gritty stuff aswell, interesting. Will keep an eye on him.

Staying up a bit late tonight...

Found a band/artist called 'Maps' this evening (come out of Northampton apparently) - their debut single came out late last year, new single out this week.

Very good melodic stuff - I suppose it's My Blood Valentine lyrics with laidback, simple electronica background. Just my kinda stuff this late at night.

Anyway - worth a listen IMO:

Ahh very good, I've only got about 5 or 6 BYOP tracks but the album should be good from what I've heard

Don't get your hopes up too much about YYYs though, there are good tracks it's just a bit MOR almost some of it which is something I thought I'd never say about them.

I'm listening to all my mclusky mp3 collection, what a band they were.

If you like Pixies or just quality rock, get Mcluskyism, the 3 CD version is 10.49 from Tesco, bloody bargain, all you music lovers get it!

I'm listening to the p*ssing rain not that i have much of a choice as its been raining every day. If its not rain its snow if not snow hail and if not hail all f*cking 3 at once. :(

[Rubbergenius]

The beautiful British weather!

Enjoyed my purchases this week - not sure on Willy Mason just yet but it's growing, Sufjan's Michigan album was good, and Bright Eyes 'electronica' album was really well made - not in the same league as I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning but certainly good enough on it's own.

[Grizfoot]

Anyone else like Snow Patrol?

Their new albums is coming out soon(ish), should be good

Just a repeat of the announcement on this forum:

So from now on can people NOT link to YouSendIt, MegaUpload and the like for the purpose of downloading and distributing tracks. Any of these links found on the forum will be deleted.

What about bootlegs of concerts? Like the White Stripes one I put up a couple of weeks back? Can understand if not, I'm cool with that.

PS Bright Eyes' Digital Ash... is better than Wide Awake... RG! It will grow on you!

[Race Driv3r]

Corinne Bailey Rae

Quite a good album, although I must admit that with certain songs, I tend to find that her voice sounds somewhat like a child attempting to sing at times, and this seems to be reflected in the album artwork as well.

"Put Your Records On" is one of the highlights of the CD, and as a whole, it is a relaxing album that would be perfect for those late summer evenings, and with this thought in mind, perhaps, the album seems out of place, what with the current weather and all.

[jambo4ever]

Does anyone like the remix of Leo Sayers - Thunder In My Hearts? I think its realy catchy :D

[Rubbergenius]

Better be on the safe side and say no.

I think its quite catchy too... good to see more and more old(er) songs returning to fame... :D

Anyone else here listen to Wolfmother?

Well worth a listen if not: http://www.myspace.com/wolfmother

No i didn't, my mate told me about 'em a while ago.

There from Australia so they won't get much play over here or anything.

My favourite songs got to be 'Mind's Eye'

What did you think of them then?

There's a song by someone called 'The Drift'. Meant to tell you ages ago.

I'm currently really enjoying listening to Larrikin Love and The Long Blondes. Both excellent fun.

Your joking :O

I'll have to find it!

Larrikin Love and Long Blondes are both great, Larrikin Love were sessioning on Lamacq the other week it was fantastic

[Rubbergenius]

It's your band - you're absolutely fine to post them up. If you decide to link to them then it's cool by me.

:)

Got two Maps 10" singles yesterday (with a free extra CD) and they sound fantastic - definitely one for the future.

If you sign up for emails from their website (http://www.mapsregion.co.uk) and enter the password 'exist' you get three extra demo MP3s to download. Worth it.

Dedicated forum to download peoples remixes of Artic Monkeys:)

Edit, only about 2 are worthy of listening, beware, AM might be have been murdered!;)

[Seeph]

Not too sure about Larrikin, sound a bit too much like Libs copyists to me. They're good at what they do but theyre not amazing by any stretch of the imagination

Cheers for the Maps recommendation RG - having a listen now.

YYYs album has grown on me - still bland in places but some superb tracks amongst the more MOR efforts

the new Hope Of The States tracks I've got are class!

[Rubbergenius]

Really looking forward to the new HOTS album - missed out on tickets for their warm-up shows recently but looking forward to the album, the last was one of the best of 2004.

[OPETH]

I'm listening to Lacrimosa - Inferno album from 1995, this was when metal was more present in thier music than classical

[MANUMAD]

Really looking forward to the new HOTS album -

Same here, though I hope their singer has had a few singing lessons!!!!
