What's everyone listening to today? (Part deux)

[PaTaito]

No competition, the bends is the best album they made. I adore fake plastic trees...and pretty much every track on the album.

Cannot stop listening to clutch's robot hive/exodus album at present...

[Fader209]

Been listening to Charlie Parra all weekend. Damn good guitarist that I think someone on here recommended me to a while back as he does a lot of game/movie covers, so thanks for that! His new short album was inspired from the old school gaming culture so is also relevant to this site :P

If you are into metal then go give it a listen!

Clutch are on tour in the US with The Sword soon. That'll be amazing!

Nice link, Fader, I'll check that out.

As for Radiohead, I agree about The Bends. Anybody remember them playing the title track on Jools Holland? That first chord seems to knock them all backwards!

[Kit]

Rofl.

[Colin]

Jesus, it's been a looooooooooong time since i've heard that!

[Charlie]

Religious AND country music alert!



End of scary alert.

[JazzFunk]

Back to listening to Aesop.



Any idea which game they took the sample from?

Just saw this, not sure if the electronic burble is an old retro game or a vintage synth but the voice sample "trapped in a deadly video game" is from an old Gza track called 'I Gotcha Back', from the Fresh soundtrack, which I'll post here cos it's bloody ace and I haven't listened to it in yonks!:

The Bends was easily the best, but people overkilled it After a while I was fed up of hearing it. Coming back to it now is great.

I bought Lucy Shiner by Gold Panda. Not sure if I like it. It's not quite as cool as Boards of Canada. Seems a bit forced in places. In others it's beautiful. But I like my albums to be good the whole way through.

Cool track! and I bow to your superior hip hop knowledge, Jazz. Impressive.

When I listened I was instantly reminded of something I'd been listening to last week by Ugly Duckling called It's Gone.

[Charlie]

Loved this as a kid due to the cheerful melody and still do, but, man, the lyrics are pretty sombre.

[Charlie]

The spice expands consciousness.

[Charlie]

I'm so fackin' cultured, innit.

I sometimes think if the mountains and the hills and the oceans and the lakes and the forests and rocks had a unified voice they'd sound like choirboys. It makes no sense, I know, it's probbaly a propagation of years of drug abuse, haha, but, whatever the reason, I hear songs like this and I think of the planet singing.

[Charlie]

A beautiful, bluesy rendition of a gospel classic:

That's because it's Danny Elfman and his songs are wonderfully moving......one of the best music men there is.....
