Guest EQ Report post Posted January 7, 2003 I downloaded an a capella version of Green Day's "When I Come Around". The group that did it is called the Duke Pitchforks. I suggest downloading it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted January 9, 2003 As for the rest, I did some reviewing for the station today, and here's what my ears got to hear: Solid, but unspectacular, melodic Britrock from the Smiths co-founder. Employs some electronic programming, but doesn't go overboard with it. I think it streets (in the U.S.) in March. The is Lonely Robot, a remix EP from Magnetic Fields mastermind Stephin Merritt's dance outfit, Future Bible Heroes. Like most dance music, it wasn't my cup of tea, but Merritt's way with a melody and witty lyrics allows for the occasional moment of charm. Oh man oh man oh man oh man. It came out in the UK last year and won't be released in this country for a couple more weeks, but there was a bulging in my pants when I saw we got this. This Scottish band's previous release, The Great Eastern, was one of my favorite albums of 2001, and this one is first strong contender for 2003. And it's only January! This music is both bleak and heavenly, and I love it. RIYL Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted January 11, 2003 Already: I probably listen to this album too much, but I like it, so who cares. Right Now: Ditto. On Deck: Their name's written in a different font on my copy, no clue why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted January 11, 2003 I think the saddest thing is I haven't listened to more than a few MP3s at once for four or five days. However, I AM supposed to write a paper later, so given my short attention span I'll throw on something. Oh, Inc, what Delgados tracks do you recommend? I've never heard of 'em before. Should I just grab anything that comes up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted January 11, 2003 Good day for albums. Fantastic Damage is astounding and gets moreso with every listen. I also was unaware that Mr. Costello could rock so hard in recent history, as he does in some of the bigger moments of All This Useless Beauty. After hearing the Tricky remix of "Distorted Angel" that's on the bonus disc, I was in a mood for some more. Lo, let there be Massive Attack. I know Blue Lines is regarded as one of the best albums of the 90's, but I always feel like it gets slighted when compared to Mezzanine. It's so much more consistent, and it's got frickin' Tricky.

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted January 12, 2003 When I Was Cruel rocks more than All This Useless Beauty. That's not a slight on ATUB, though, as it is a fine album. Anywho, I think I'll cover the last couple of days in this one post: It's official: Highway 61 Revisited is better than Blonde on Blonde. The former's "Like A Rolling Stone," "Tombstone Blues" and "Desolation Row" is only matched in their pure, unadultered greatness by the latter's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" and "Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands." Highway 61 Revisited is a far more tighter and concise album than Blonde on Blonde; while songs on both albums range from good to great; Blonde has some filler that 61 does not. aka the Under the Cherry Moon soundtrack. This album has "Kiss," which is most likely one of the finest singles of the 80s. To quote Pitchfork board guy Ah_Pook, "holy hot shit this song is the best thing." The rest of the album is pretty good, too. Ah, Joy Division. I'll use this as mood music the next time I wanna score with a goth chick. "This Must Be the Place" is another one of the finest singles of the 80s. Such a great love song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooseCannon Report post Posted January 14, 2003 Cannon--I like Songs About Fucking quite a bit. In fact, I think I like it more than Shellac. ::guesses he got back online again after all:: I was wondering where I asked you about this. As it now stands I like Songs about Fucking a good bit myself, though it has some tracks I'm inclined to skip. Anyway, when I first heard that album a few years ago, it was during the period in my life when I was the most virulently anti-anything "heavy." I hadn't really listened to it since. Untill I decided to pop it in a few weeks ago, and to my surprise, I found myself enjoying it. So umm... I don't know, here's what I listened to today. and Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted January 14, 2003 That NWA EP is great. The title track is one of their better songs, and you also get "Just Don't Bite It," and early version of their semenal classic, "She Swallowed It." Today: Despite the sentiments of the rest of the board, I really do like this one quite a bit. The second disc of this has some absolute gems. Any Costello fan should download "My Dark Life," a collaboration with Brian Eno, if you haven't heard it. And to finish off... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted January 16, 2003 That third cover is Radio, by Naked City, an outfit led by avant garde jazz musician John Zorn. It's a mix of surf, swing, lounge and metallic noise. Good stuff, and I was delighted to find it at the campus library. The Blackalicious album is a vinyl copy, borrowed from the station's resident hip hop guru, Mike Diggie. He insists the only proper way to listen to rap is via vinyl. on deck: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted January 16, 2003 Super albums with startlingly similar attitudes. Having seen AWK live, I can say that listening to the Ramones disc at full blast really brings out the similarities. It was a good, hi-octane little day.
