What are you listening to

[Plastic Man]

thought I'd morph the fave gig sub-thread a bit and split by venue size:

fav pub gig - DRI - sutho royal. Must have been about 88. Mass Appeal supported from memory. Still stands out as an all time classic. (honorable mentions - any Mass Appeal gig mid to late 80's, early WWXIV gigs at Seven Hills Tavern (84/85??), the Hard Ons residency at the Strawberry Hills in 85, each week it just got bigger and bigger...& seeing Feedtime up at the Palace Hotel on many Friday nights in 85 - great noise!!)

fav larger venue gig, (think Selina's, Horden, etc) - Not as clear cut. Probably Jerry A fronting the Hard Ons at the big day out early 90's. (honorable mentions, the two Buzzcocks gigs at Selina's early 90's - about 2 years apart from memory, Motorhead last year, SLF last year).

fav stadium gig - AC/DC Back in Black, Sydney Sportsground 81, (angels and swannee supported). First gig back in OZ after Bons death. Probably looking back at it through rose coloured glasses but it was a great night. (Honorable mentions - Iron Maiden last year, Iggy at big day out - can't remember which year)

after the self indulgent reminisce above I pulled out Poison Ideas Feel the Darkness. I'd forgotten how good it was. Rest in Peace Pig Champion !!

After a bit of a scratch around, I stumbled onto Sonic Youth!

Call me slow to find this band, but WOW, now this is what I have been looking for...

Listening to Daydream Nation

 

[jayse]

Put the media player on random today for awhile while brewing and what made me stop still and go faaaar...out was black label society hungover music volume VII. Brillant brewing music, much more mellow than zakks ussual he's actually playing piano etc for the most part. Anyway pure brillance.
get out and get yourself a copy

 

[Pennywise]

Yesterday arvo was listening to Metallica's Ride The Lightning. Was good, it took me exactlt the length of the album to bottle a 26 litre brew. Just about to put down a quick and easy and will be enjoying either some Ugly Kid Joe, Skid row or Joe Satriani. Maybe I'll just do 2 batches and listen to em' all B)

 

[petesbrew]

Just got 1gig's worth of post-hardcore music off a workmate, which'll keep me sane for a while.
A whole lot of bands I've never really heard of before...
Emarosa - Relativity is on at the moment. Nice and loud.
Thankyou Mp3's.

 

[petesbrew]

Bloc Party - Intimacy.
Bloody awesome!

Love that Album Jase
Also love listening to Zakk in Pride and Glory and his Solo Album

[jayse]

cool, pride and glory is my favourite out of all his stuff. Be great to see that band back together again.

Isn't it strange how some things attract the same kinds of people...!

I'm 31 and went through puberty to the sounds of indie and the early days of alternative. My Dad is a huge muso and we didn't have a TV when I was young - so.... I grew up on - and I mean, high rotation - the house always had music in it:

Led Zep
Deep Purple
CCR
Simon & the Funkle
Cream & Clapton (saw him a couple of weeks ago.... blurrrrgh)
Various gregorian chants (don't knock it till you try it with a good class A AMP and 100wRMS)
David Bowie
The Doors

Then my stuff:

Pearl Jam
RHCP
Alice in Chains
STP
Mr Bungle
Metallica
Smashing Pumpkins (MASSIVE FAN of Gish etc)
Screaming Trees
Nirvana
Radiohead
Mudhoney

Never really heard any Dylan, Rolling Stones etc. Don't know why - guess Dad didn't like em!

About 5 years ago starting listening further to the back catalogue from Metallica (Ride the Lightning / And Justice), Black Sabbath and some newer metal - A Perfect Circle etc.

Looking to get some suggestions as to where I go next. Not into thrash / death at all, like good solid, melodic and raw / clever music. For some reason I just don't like NIN or Tool ( that last album... I tried, it failed).

Suggestions?

Cheers - Mike

Alright, you're on. Am downloading now and promise to give it 3 x full listens to.

MVZOOM: Get some Korpiklaani... the album called Tervaskanto, folk metal with some English, some Finnish lyrics. Best enjoyed in front of a campfire with a wooden pint of sahti! I wish...

[Adamt]

That looks like a "Best of" collection of some sort, but there's some quality tracks in there! Notice the theme? Boozer, pints, hunting, beer! :beerbang:

Rammstien sehnsucht

Had the first listen through of this today - I've heard 'Du Hast' before but the rest was all new. Kinda nu-metal - needs more listening.

 

[bum]

Suggestions?

Cheers - Mike

Possibly: Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice

Not like the name suggests. Flat-out, downstrum rock. All three of their records are fantastic if you're into this one.

 

[Jase71]

Right Now... the entire Steve Hillage discography.

 

[Cocko]

One Minute Silence.

 

[Plastic Man]

Went away with a few mates last weekend. Scrolling thru his IPOD and we wacked on AC/DC Powerage. Hadn't listened to it for years. Forgot how good it was.

 

[Rabbitz]

"That is a beautiful Beer"

Greg Champion

Sort of a country folk comedy guy... For those that listen to the ABC on the east coast one of the Codabeen Champions

Viva colonia by Hohner

 

[Doogiechap]

New Mastodon Album out :super:

Cant wait to hear that ! ! :beerbang:

 

[manticle]

Only just saw this thread.

I'm a big fan of ambient industrial/dark ambient/death industrial which is what I'm currently listening to (Hentai vs Nordvargr and Schloss Tegal).

Above was mentioned korpiklaani who are actually one of the few metal acts I can enjoy (and own albums from). Lots of drinking songs. Listen to 'beer, beer'.

Apart from that I like lots of punk (dead Kennedys, Crass), post punk (Rowland Howard, Birthday Party, Nathan Hollywood, Nick Cave, Hunter Dienna, Gentle Ben and his Sensitive side, Joy Division) , some folk music (Czech, Italian, American, Britsh), small amounts of very, very early jazz, Tom Waits, Dire straits (no idea how it fits but I lik it nonetheless) and pink floyd, Early industrial (SPK, Foetus, Nurse with Wound, Coil) Industrial hardcore and breakcore (doof doof for those young people who hate doof doof), Power electronics (often in small doses) noise (always in small doses) and Baroque (don't really know which or what: just that it sounds nice).

 

[manticle]

Then my stuff:

Pearl Jam
RHCP
Alice in Chains
STP
Mr Bungle
Metallica
Smashing Pumpkins (MASSIVE FAN of Gish etc)
Screaming Trees
Nirvana
Radiohead
Mudhoney




Suggestions?

Unfortunately with SWMBO away I have been suffering with whatever my 16yo daughter decides to listen to... MTV, Channel V, you get the idea! :unsure:

Roll on Monday SWMBO back and at least there is only a 9 year age gap between us and I can listen to most of what she does.

I wish I knew how to work the remote!
Daughter at school today so I just downloaded the soundtrack from 'The Boat That Rocked'.... much more my vintage!! :icon_cheers:
