What are you listening to

[buckerooni]

New Aesop Rock album. the impossible kid. really good . some of his best writing in there

new Gojira album Magma. its ok . I thought their last album was amazing. this one is good but not as good .

Thanks for the leads! Saw Gojira support Mastodon a few years ago and was like 'who the fk are these badasses?'. Will get back onto that!

Had a listen through of the new Blink 182 album today
Not a bad album, but they could have done MUCH better
Too many autotuned vocals, weak jokes and just cookie cutter songs
There's a few good tracks, but the rest are just obviously all but written by John Feldmann, because they sound like all the other chart toppers he pushes out for 5 Seconds of Summer and All Time Low

 

[clay]

been playing a heap of this guy lately.
one of these over achieving types. recorded something like ten albums in the last six years. still only in his early/mid twenties.
hate pricks like that

What do you get when you take a beautiful, talented, strong yet humble tattooed woman with an electric guitar, a bunch of pedals, an incredible voice and a penchant for sludge/doom and place her in a really intimate setting with a smattering of lucky audience members?

Nonpoint, the poison red

 

[buckerooni]

in the mood for some epic stoner instrumentals? they owe pretty much everything to Kyuss but do it very well. Great open sound. A 3 piece, although I think they cheat with a 2nd guitar at times but hey that's cool!

At the moment, Manic Street Preachers, Bob Dylan and The Waterboys.

I'm 37 and I'm willing to have a go at practically any type of music and have been that way since the late eighties. A week ago, I heard a Waterboys song on the radio and thought I'd have to give them ago. I have no clue how I managed not to run into them before now and I'm a little annoyed with myself for having missed them through the nineties.

Ah well, it just shows there's still plenty of music to discover even among the things that were recorded when I was a kid.

 

[manticle]

I keep discovering heaps of good stuff from years ago.
Doesn't matter. If it's good, it's good.
No need to avoid Bela Bartok just because I wasn't alive when he was making tracks about houses with the legs of a chicken.

 

[fraser_john]

Soundgarden - Down on the Upside

Today more generally Pandora - Grunge channel

 

[sp0rk]

Top 40 **** on the radio because we've been banned from wearing headphones at work

I wish there were wireless earplugs that look like hearing protection that wifi to your phone.

I couldn't agree more.

Most of the music I listen to, even in the pop/rock genres is from before I was born. With classical, obviously nearly everything is from before that time. After all, most people do not avoid literature just because it was written before their time, so why would one do so with music or any other art form? I regularly read and re-read Shakespeare.

Having said that, I do like to try to keep up with the quality that's made now. Much good stuff is available, it's just that one sometimes have to go digging a bit deeper to find it. Sadly, time constraints the past couple of years have meant that I can't claim to have the same knowledge of fantastic contemporary Indie bands that I once did.

Edited to include a big thumbs up for Bartok.

Ariana Grande - into you. Because I am in a cab and get reminded how ******* **** contemporary pop music actually is, against my will. Makes me want to eat my feet.

On no account should anyone see this as a recommendation. ******* drivel.

Thank Christ the cab is taking me to the airport to jump on a plane and see weedeater tomorrow night. That's the ear bleach I need.

Good recommendation.
I especially liked blood sandwich, great lyricist.

 

[clay]

been giving the new King Gizzard album a thrashing lately.
brilliant stuff. a true album where every song seems to run into the next to create forty odd minutes of relentless garage/psych bliss.
if you select repeat on your phone it even loops back into itself.

With a bit of a theme around the place in recent times of the fairer sex who can really belt out a tune...I have never forgotten hearing this for the first time, way BITD.

Not an especially great song

But I'm coming to terms with the death of a friend from uni. He would be 30 now. Melanoma.

He listened to this song....consecutively... without interruption.....for 3 months I think. An ability we shared but I couldn't go much past a month. I was never as cool as him. Love ya Matt

 

[manticle]

Don't like the band but sympathies for your loss.

Had a hankering this morning for some Rod Stewart (from when he was good)
