I think I clicked on a youtube link 10 pages ago and it was Saint Anger. I almost made it to the end.

MY TURP-EN-TINE

Reminds me, I found a scratched up Black Album in my room today. It surprisingly worked and I had a good laugh with it before going tossing it in the trash and going back to Ruins. Can't remember the biggest laugh, but it might've been the second "couldn't be much more from the heart".

Irreversible OST - By Daft Punk's Michelle Batangas. Pretty much the opposite of Daft Punk in many ways: Horrible, distorted 1970's rape movie synths coupled with ultra repetitive compressed bass and kick drums. Absolutely fucking awesome.

All about Lily Chou-Chou OST - Like Bjork mixed with Cocteau Twins, with extra glassy production. Beautiful.

Gallhammer - Dawn of Gallhammer - trying to work out if i prefer the demos on this or the album proper. This is amazing though.

Electric Wizard - Witchcult Today

I have a parody of St Anger era Metallica I'll have to upload since I can't find the original source of it.

Funny you should mention this, I found it and an old Megadeth album the other day. Hard to believe I used to listen to this stuff not only willingly but with enthusiasm

Stephen Malkmus - Real Emotional Trash

OK album. Time to check out Electric Wizard

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 9:23 pm

Origin album was a lot better than I was expecting (didn't like the last one I heard).

Nothing on the black album compares to FRANTIC-TIC-TIC-TIC or my lifestyle determines my death-style. There is no need for parody.

i'm having fun listening to

Turisas - Battle Metal

Haha, the search goes on.

I think I was laughing at the riffs more than the lyrics. I lost control at the intro to Sad But True where the boys nudge dangerously close to Infectious Grooves.

Origin - Antithesis
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - The Main Ingredient

MX7 · Post by **MX7** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 11:37 am

Enema Syringe - Live at No Fun Fest 2007: The worst noise album I've ever heard.

Faye Wong - Everything - Makes my study sound like a Chinese dentist's waiting room. Needs less saxaphone.

Foals - Antidotes - I have decided I don't like Foals after all.

Au Revoir Simone - The Bird of Music - Would have been amazing had it not been so fucking middle class.

Bloodlet - Entheogen

From the good old days of Victory Records.

Neon · Post by **Neon** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 5:16 pm

I like the new Breeders

Really? I find it languid and uninspired. Basically lazy. If you're craving some indie pop goodness, I'd suggest the following instead

versus - the stars are insane

My take on Carcass' five albums:

Reek < Symphonies < Necroticism > Heartwork > Swansong

Actually, I haven't heard Swansong, but I don't even want to hear it.

Best album of 2008 so far:

origin - antithesis

Thanks to unsane and Rob for pointing that one out.

Also working on:

east/west blast test - s/t

and a bunch of other stuff.

captain ahar · Post by **captain ahar** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 8:58 pm

forget everything else i've said so far, i'm just listening to The Final Countdown over and over and over and over...

seriously though:

terrorizer - world downfall
burzum - filosofem
alghazanth - various albums
bolt thrower - war master
agoraphobic nosebleed - pcp tornado
sweet - greatest hits
love like blood - irony of fate
the locust - ep
man or astro man? - project infinity
catharsis - passion

much much else

Neon · Post by **Neon** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 9:09 pm

Lazy? I dunno, it seems like a lot went into the production if not the songwriting. There's a lot of overdub/multitracky stuff. My favorite is 'bang on' (I get the feeling it was meant as a joke, but that sort of adds to it)

Also listened to Los Campesinos! - hold on now, youngster... I think they have too many friends. What sounds good, especially when you write collaboratively, doesn't necessarily make a good song. Really only so so at best, but I like the energy

edit - this Versus album is much better though, yeah.

The song I like a lot is Night of Joy. If you like it too, then you should check out the band Broadcast (if you haven't). Same idea exactly.

Just got an order from Southern Lord

Toadliquor (love that name) - The Hortator's Lament
Orthodox - Amanecer en Puerta Oscura
Burning Witch - Crippled Lucifer reissue (Now I can put my Bad Acid original away)

Did I mention Man Man - Rabbit Habits

Neon · Post by **Neon** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 12:56 pm

One thing I've noticed about Nirvana - Nevermind, AC/DC - Back in Black, and Never Mind the Bollocks is that I like everything except most of the singles

I dunno why this is, I guess because I've been listening to them since middle school and you hear the singles more, on the radio and etc.

Has anyone experienced similar phenomena

Also is hardcore huge in any other part of the country, or just here. It's got a certain amount of appeal for musicians just because it doesn't require talent or skill to pull off, but I think it's also a backlash against all the groups who can't wait to sell out, like their band is a small business or something. I kinda wish there were no chance of anyone becoming rich and famous, so that people would focus on rocking face rather than having broad appeal

With Nevermind I think it's more that the singles aren't that good. No other way to explain that because I feel the same way. I still like old Soundgarden and AIC singles (best parts of their albums).

sadly, it has no presence in my immediate area (west michigan).

some of favorite bands have risen out of this scene, and i've never had the opportunity to see them live, or really any band that belongs.

Soundgarden was cool until Badmotorfinger. AIC's best song is the hidden track on Sap.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 4:53 am

Soundgarden were much better as a singles band. Making it through Ultramega OK was pain. I hate Tad too.

MadSteelDarkness · Post by **MadSteelDarkness** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 5:07 am

Hey man, I still kind of like God's Balls. Salt Lick too.

JoshF · Post by **JoshF** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 5:48 am

Ultramega fail. There stuff up until Inhaler (which I only listened to once) is pretty cool, so, you're wrong.

PAK - Motel
This is on the way...
Lobe Low - I Am In Your House Pooping On The Child
Best described as a mix between Waking the Cadaver and Naked Brothers Band.

Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)

I was actually going to buy some CDs today, but there was nothing I wanted below $18.
