Chaosbringer - Pardon My French

A1 Black Desire (5:45)
A2 Where Children Have to Go (6:27)
B1 End of Days (6:40)
B2 Trauma Experience (5:45)

A2 is awesome, awesome... I could compare Chaos Bringer (aka Le Bruit Qui Court) to Panacea, but... maybe it's even more awesome

Awesome that you have the PaRappa soundtracks AndyLee. I have 'em both asw ell. Brilliant stuff.

Lately I've been listening to older Run DMC, LL Cool J and King Tee every day. The Spits are playing tomorrow so I've been listening to them too.

^They (The Spits) are playing here Saturday (the 18th of March?) at SXSW.

I'm there, considering that I'm one of the few lucky/stupid bastards to get a wristband. Thanks again for (re?)acquainting me with these guys, Pa.

By the by, there was a Fuckemos reunion show tonight at the Longbranch Inn, but I missed it on account of my extreme lameness.

Eh, this week:

The Ramones - Road to Ruin
New Kingdom - Heavy Load
The Rolling Blackouts - s/t EP
Duke Ellington - Anatomy of a Murder OST
Brown Whornet - s/t
Autechre - Peel Session
Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie - Bird and Diz
Speedy J - A Shocking Hobby
Hieroglyphics - 3rd Eye Vision
V/A - A-sides (Part one. 1979/1982) (Crass Records compilation)

PaCrappa · Post by **PaCrappa** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 5:41 pm

Alright, we're even

I reminded you of The Spits and you reminded me of Fuckemos. You not going to the reunion show reminds me of myself not going to see Armitage Shanks a couple months ago. Pure lame.

Man I am getting so charged up over this Spits show tonight.

Pa

MadSteelDarkness · Post by **MadSteelDarkness** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 5:14 pm

So, Pa, how was the show?

Oh, and so's not to derail the topic too bad, I'm currently listening to:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Kicking Against the Pricks
Lee Perry - Scratch Attack! (compilation of Scratch & Company and Blackboard Jungle Dub)

PaCrappa · Post by **PaCrappa** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 8:40 am

Double lame, I stayed in. I was too tired to self motivate and none of my married thirtysomething buddies could be coaxed out of the house either. Weakasses.

I am going to a show for sure on Tuesday though. Robert Pollard of Guided by Voices. GBV isn't totally my bag, but my friend from kindergarten is coming up from Portland so I told him I'd go. Since I already paid the exorbitant fee of $16 for this character, I'm definitely going to show up. I hope he's not all weak and emo or anything.

Anyways, I'm still listening to mostly Run DMC these days.

That was about a year ago. He had some tsuff on his website awhile back about it. He was doing shows and stuff over the summer with a walker apparently. (I'm Still Standin'!)

Arab on Radar - Yahweh or the Highway
Six Finger Satellite - Severe Exposure
Speedking - The Fist and the Laurels [disc 1]
Hella - The Devil Isn't Red
Blut aus Nord - The Work...
Made in Mexico - Zodiac Zoo

My favorite album this year so far: Yahweh or the Highway. A true work of art, and yes, great art can be ridiculous.

Well, he started pretty drunk and got WAY drunker. But I really thought it was great. I'm not gonna rush out and pump up a GBV collection or anything, but I had a great time. Pollard's funny on stage and definitely rocked for about 3 hours.

CIT · Post by **CIT** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 9:50 pm

Just got this:

Tokyo Jihen - "Adult"

It's the second album of Shiina Ringo's band after she quit her solo career. One of the few Japanese "mainstream" artists I like.

zinger · Post by **zinger** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 9:53 pm

Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Tasavallan Presidentti - Lambertland
Japan - Tin Drum
Prince & Miles Davis - Crucial

Post by **system11** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 10:12 pm

Dug out an old CD of mine, forgot it's actually quite good (if incredibly silly in places):

Laibach - Jesus Christ Superstar

If you've ever heard of Rammstein, they owe an awful lot to Laibach...

Ha! Good to hear no one in the audience was knocked out by one of his high kicks or mic stand twirling antics.

I always thought GBV was a pretty solid band that simply put out way too much material. Quantity over quality I guess.

Considering the topic I will add that I have been listening to XTC's "English Settlement" quite a bit lately. A classic imo.

Recently got the latest Athlete album. Loving Chances and Twentyfour Hours. Great stuff

Bal-Sagoth - The Chthonic Chronicles

An astonishing end to the saga. Anyone who doesn't like it is dead inside. Expect pomp, grandiose narration, a surprising, satisfying helping of crushing riffs and some of what the artless throngs call "cheese".

No_not_like_Quake · Post by **No_not_like_Quake** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 5:52 pm

Metalbox by PiL is my favorite album. Only lately has this album been getting the respect it deserves.

Wire - Chairs Missing - The album all shit Brit pop bands want to sound like, even to the point of plagerism in at least one case... Elastica.

Ministry - Psalm 69 - just a rocking album IMO

The Stooges - Funhouse
Skinny Puppy - Bites
Kraftwerk - Europe Endless
Iggy Pop - The Idiot
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
David Bowie - Low
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

PaCrappa · Post by **PaCrappa** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 6:44 pm

The Wailers - I forget the name of the compilation because it's in my car. This ain't Bob Marley and the, it's the old school 60s Seattle rock band. They rule.

Run DMC - Tougher Than Leather

MOTO - Raw Power

Armitage Shanks - Shanks' Pony

Conan the Barbarian soundtrack

Hank Sr - compilation I forget the name of

Been playing Silent Hill and now I want a soundtrack for that. Fargin' scary.

Pentagram - First Daze Here Too

This band should have been huge....

MadSteelDarkness · Post by **MadSteelDarkness** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:23 am

You'd think with the thirty-odd bands I saw last week, I'd be burnt out on music this week, but no.

The Lords of Altamont - To Hell With The Lords of Altamont
Sepultura - Arise
Helios Creed - The Last Laugh and Boxing the Clown
V/A play The Scientists - Set it on Fire!
The Misfits - s/t compilation and Beware EP
Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion
Grey Daturas - Dead in the Woods
Rhys Chatham - Die Donnergotter (The Thundergods)
Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos
The Spunks - Born to be Mild
Insect Sex Act - Act I
King Snake Roost - Things That Play Themselves

Bowie's Ziggy Stardust on constant rotation at the minute. Sheer class.

Also picked up the Appleseed Cast's 'Low Level Owl Vol. 1 & 2' on vinyl, a beautiful set with gatefold cover and 24 tracks over 3 x 120g black discs. THIS is why I love LP's. The music itself is atmospheric, experimantal, spaced-out indie rock with sparse vocals (about half the LP is instrumental) and an incredible attention to detail within the songs. Epic in every sense of the word, go check them out. They're not for those of a short attantion span however.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:23 pm

Have rotated through some music and now currently on my IPOD all the time:

Zero Hour - Fragile Mind
Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On
Queensryche - Operation MindCrime II
Green Carnation - Acoustic
Slave to the System - Self Titled
