Everything by Cannabis Corpse. I have literally been listening to nothing but their catalog for the last week. You may think they are a joke band because of their name, but the songs are originals and brutal. Amazing.

[drauch]

Cannabis Corpse is hilarious! Blunted at Birth, Reefer Stashed Place, I Cum Bud...oh god, too good.

[drboom]

Totally. The lyrics are amazingly funny but the music is sooooooo good.

I like that they branched off into Deicide and Morbid Angel titles. "Beneath the Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise", "Lunatic of Pot's Creation", "Blaze of Torment"...

[drboom]

"Lunatics Of Pot's Creation" hits a note with me specifically as I bought the first Deicide album the day it came out, back in 1990 at age 14. I was blown away and also pretty certain these guys were serious about Satanism in a way that Slayer was not. It actually scarred me, which sounds ridiculous now, especially when its parodied.

[drauch]

Oh, Glen Benton...

Swans new album is pretty cool. Too long for my taste, but there are some great moments.

Saw them on Monday. It ripped.
They played Coward and I can't hear anything, still

In and out of this love affair I have with jazz that's taken half my life. I've fought every inch of the way to get into it, working my way backwards from the free jazz of the 60's. Just picked up some cheap sets of old Bud Powell and Duke Ellington. Don't know if I'll ever really feel at home with the 40's, but there's no questioning that this is great music.

[RGB]

Got addicted to Animal Collective yet again. Their new jawn - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47xbkT3calM

[CMoon]

Listening to old people's music...duke ellington and some nat king cole.

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

Looking forward to hearing the new Tamaryn album Tender New Signs. http://youtu.be/zsaRS3P04fU http://youtu.be/2C3YNBKSzgo

Bob Mould - Descent (from new album Silver Age)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MdhsCeasBQ

Didn't like this song at first, but the lyrics really stick out on repeated plays. Well written song and the video isn't too bad either. Sounds stuck in the early 90s but that mattered less and less to me. This new album is like Sugar's Copper Blue part II, but maybe a little more straightforward.

[Marc]

May have to check that out then, fucking love Copper Blue.

I got a Chet Baker compilation and have been listening to it in the car.

Two common favourites:

"Let's Get Lost"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0ZBaZoBCaA

"But Not For Me"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z5VnaRpWZI

Coolness galore


I think I woulda liked to see Lawrence Welk back when it aired at a regular hour...

"Red Roses For A Blue Lady" as conducted by Ray Conniff, His Orchestra, And Singers

Chet Baker is awesome. I really miss these weird early mornings I used to have when I drove a forklift at a past job moving stuff around before the store opened. I always listened to either Chet Baker's "My Funny Valentine" and Frank Sinatra's "In the Wee Small Hours." I was primarily all alone, driving a forklift in a silent building at 5 in the morning blaring either album as I sped around and moved stuff. Had this odd, surreal sort of feeling that was so peaceful...

The Divine Comedy by Milla - I read about it before I even heard of Milla Jovovich the actress. That album was popular with musicians it seems. I recall Midge Ure and the lady who sings in Fading Colours praising it in the last century's mid-to-late-nineties. Fortunately it turns out to be positively unlike those records guitarists make for guitarists, or poetry written for poets.

A Good Thing Lost by The Poppy Family - just a compilation, but I rarely hear songs this soulful coming from North America. Susan Jacks is the lady. She never tries to sing forte beyond her vocal capabilities (more than I can say about Emmylou Harris for example).

Song Cycle by Van Dyke Parks - not really favourite as there is something... murky about it, but it just happens to be on my iRiver and when it starts to play, I usually listen to it to the end.

[mesh control]

US artwork is fucking dumb, but the album rules.

Need to hear that new Bob Mould album. I wanted to see him today, but I can't justify the drive to SF.

[PedroMD]

I will probably always think Images and Words by Dream Theater is one of the most beautiful albums as a whole I will ever listen to. Listening to it (actually listening, not just leaving it on the background while doing some other stuff) is a surefire way to lift my spirit. Here is an eleven and a half minutes sample.

More recently, I've been listening nonstop to a couple albums by Disarmonia Mundi. Great stuff. This is one of my favorites from The Isolation Game.

[CMoon]

Listening to a bunch of old Johnny Cash right now. Every song sounds the same. Not a bad thing.

On a first listen right now and it's a beast. Seems like the kind of album to loose yourself in for a few days at a time.

Currently listening to this album on my iPhone... On repeat/loop

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die

[WKL]

Teresa Teng - Light Exquisite Feeling

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_dan_you_qing

Not simply my current favourite album; my favourite album since I first heard it aged 9.

Beautifully sung and unrivaled in its ability to further impress upon multiple listenings in the same session and over the years.

Seriously doubt CHI will need reminding of the virtues of this particular album...

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - B.R.M.C. http://youtu.be/aGXsmj2YRew
Strawberry Switchblade http://youtu.be/f39MMLnAJKA

[CHI]

Edit...

^Teresa Teng, a great singer indeed, although i only have her greatest hits on audio tape

Now listening to Lana Del Rey - A.K.A. Lizzy Grant

[Matskat]

Egypt self titled:


Nice "Sabbath-y" stoner rock. Good stuff. Up there with Sleep and Dragon Green...

[Necronopticous]

NO LOVE DEEP WEB

[MX7]

I randomly found a Teresa Teng album in the basement of a record store in Angel; great find.

I need to find more Cantopop on record.

I just bought the classic 1993 UK jungle EP Organised Chaos by Mixrace. Sounds like this. UK jungle from that era is fucking ace. In fact, if you like it I highly recommend Uncle Dug's weekly jungle and rave radio show RunComeFollowFriday on radio station Rinse FM. It's an well informed, informative radio show that's mostly classic UK jungle and rave, and the host Dugs is a funny, lovable guy. It's on 11am - 1pm GMT every Friday (Listen on iTunes or at their website, or get the podcast on that website if you can't listen live. Rinse is a proper ling-running UK 'pirate' radio station. Easy to get shout-outs, too, if you get involved with the live show on Twitter. #RCFF

Though it's all about ragga and dancehall for me at the moment. Not really an album genre (mainly 7"s), so tonnes of Lady Saw, Elephant Man, Beenie Man, Smiley Culture, Ninja Force, Lily Melody, Aidonia, Little Twitch, Conroy Smith.

And then loads more ragga-breakcore and jungle-tek, grime-tek (again, 12" single formats rather than an LP based genre), typified by this floor shaking, dancefloor carpetbomb of a set by the mighty Stivs from the Dog Shit Crew.

[shmuppyLove]

Ahahahah cleaning up some stuff under my desk, I popped in my Junkie XL - Saturday Teenage Kick CD

Highlights:
Billy Club
Metrolike
Melange

Still great

[Acid King]

I've just been listening to this non-stop since it first went online yesterday. Gonna be album of the year for shizzle.
