that is a very impressive list. all stuff i would like except fleetwood mac... never have liked them, dunno why.

Belle & Sebastian - Boy with the Arab Strap ( i think it's much better than If You're Feeling Sinister)
Anything Radiohead but Pablo Honey, which is still OK but not nearly as good as their other stuff
Tegan And Sara - can't recall album name, but i think they just have one
Pete Yorn - Musicforthemorningafter
that's enough for now :)

[ShaolinMiddleFinger]

Currently, my stereo system is blasting Linkin Park. Can't wait for the new one!:D

BWTAS was the first belle and sebastian album i ever heard. i bought it on cd and lp. it's one of my favorite records of all time, but it's not an early spring record for me. it's more of a late spring/summer thing (although the 'roller coaster ride' transcends seasons). i do like "sinister" better, but maybe it's just first album bias.

anyone hear the new sea and cake record yet?

also on my list of stuff to listen to now:
11. Built to Spill "Live"
12. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion "Plastic Fang"
13. The Kinks "Everybody's in Showbusiness"
14. Of Montreal "Singles and Songles..."

[Kethoticus]

My first musical love is wave/alternative from the '80s, including Depeche Mode, Berlin, Missing Persons, Human League, Tears for Fears, Propaganda, Alphaville, etc. Best station for me back then was WLIR in the NYC/tristate area. It's since become much less edgy, but between '85 and '87 it was the best station on the radio for me.

In terms of rock/pop, I also dig metal, thrash, punk, industrial and gothic. I own CDs and LPs by Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, Stabbing Westward, Type O Negative, Front Line Assembly, and goodness I can't remember who else right off hand.

I also have secondary musical interests, something I prefer to call "space music" (as opposed to the term "new age"). My favorite artist in this genre is Patrick O'Hearn. I also enjoy John Serrie and the commercialistic Vangelis.

My third-level musical interest includes movie soundtracks and scores. I am particularly fond of T2, ID4, Superman II, and Return of the Jedi.

[RandomDeadHead]

I have over 6000 hours, 2500+ dat's, well over 5500 cd's, all of which is live Grateful Dead.

I know for a fact that I have more live Grateful Dead than anyone else in North Carolina.

I also have around 200 hours of live Janis Joplin,
250+ hours of Jerry Garcia Band,
100+ hours of Kingfish,
150+ hours of Rat Dog,
300+ hours of Bruce Hornsby,
200+ hours of Neil Young,
200+ hours of Crosby, Still, Nash, Young, etc,
150+ hours of Frank Zappa, and Mr. Bungle,
200+ hours of Dave Matthews,
50+ hours of Bill Monroe,
10+ hours of Old and in the way,
Every Phil Lesh & Friends Concert,
And 2 or 3 Snake Oil Medicine show concerts,

All of which are live, and
100% Legal!!:cool:


If anyone in these forums trades dat's or cd's, Feel free to email me, I do trades all the time. I will also do B&P's if anyone wants.:)

Yeah, I remember going to great lengths to get it tuned in back then living just over the bridge in NJ. I loved all those audio samples they'd throw in between songs, little random sound bites from old movies and radio shows. The last time I was back in NY and tuned in, I think they were still playing the more popular end of their playlist from the late eighties.
Thanks for the memories, I got all kinds of High School flashbacks when you mentioned that.

I can't say by any stretch that I like the Dead, but I am impressed! Have you listened to it all?

I terms of Belle & Sebastian, I stand by If You're feelign Sinister. It was my first B&S purchase and and consider it one of the top 10 albums in my collection of over 600 CDs. Arab Strap is also fabulous, I just think it works as a whole the way the Sinister does.

I left Radiohead off of my list, and this was purely oversight. I agree that all the albums are exellent, with Pablo Honey lagging a bit. OK Computer is another one of the those Top 10 CD's.

You ever listen to Tortoise? I've heard good things about Boards of Canada, but haven't yet tried them. The two are supposed to be similar. You know...weird, groovy, electronic inspired music.

BTW-tortoise/sea and cake/archer prewit/cocktails (read: all those chicago thrill jockey acts) are great IMHO. what's this zwan album like? i heard it's members of tortoise, papa m, and chavez playing with billy corgan. could that be right?

I LOVE Shuggie. They released a few of his albums on CD a few years back, and they are great. Do Kooper and Shuggie play together on that LP? That would be interesting.

Unfortunately, I heard he's completely drugged out now. People go to his shows, then go to web sites to post messages about how they are worried about him, telling him to clean up, etc. He sometimes has trouble holding the guitar, I've heard. Pretty bad.

I just started getting into the Thrill Jockey bands. So far I really like what I'm hearing. I'm going to see The Sea and Cake at the Metro later this month! That should be a good one.

Oh, and I see there are a few Radiohead fans. If you're into Radiohead, check out Porcupine Tree. They do quite a bit with the soundscape thing and odd phrasings. Try "A Smart Kid" or "The Sound of Muzak" (My favorite PT song).

may not be as new as PT, but Yo La Tengo's "electr-o-pura" record would apeal to any radiohead fan, as well. it came out just before pablo honey, and it's influence was ALL over the Bends (My fave radiohead album, btw)...
