The Mandatory "What are you listening to now?" thread

[Stigmata]

The last stanza is haunting. I can't sing along to it without choking up at the end.

Amon Tobin - Fat Ass Joint

 

[gFrohman]

Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day

Saddest. Song. Ever.

Just gave it a listen. What a sad, yet beautiful song.
Thanks for mentioning it.

Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day

Saddest. Song. Ever.

I have seriously cried while listening to this song, which probably makes it unique in my book.

KMFDM - Superhero

 

[PvtRyan]

Metallica - No Leaf Clover

 

[Ennui]

Gogol Bordello - American Wedding

 

[gFrohman]

Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls

 

[knut]

Anaal Nathrakh - Oil Upon The Sores of Lepers

Total sonic annhilation. VITRIOL is one hell of a vocalist, it's often hard to imagine it's just him in each song as there's so many different tortured layers of harsh and strained screams, grunts, manic chanting and high-pitched melodies that would send King Diamond packing.

Truely the music of Hell itself.

 

[kineaesth]

Pale Horses (Apparat Remix) - Moby

I'm as surprised as you are

 

[Qonfused]

Pogo - White Magic (second link in sig)

 

[Vegeta897]

Flying Lotus - Brainfeeder

 

[Dinnesch]

RHCP - By The Way

 

[Vegeta897]

Flying Lotus - Comet Course

 

[lefty]

the misfits- crimson ghost

 

[Vegeta897]

Flying Lotus - GNG BNG

Well this is ****ing cool.

 

[Dinnesch]

Yellowcard - Rough landing, holly

 

[kineaesth]

Idioteque - Radiohead

Well this is ****ing cool.

If you are being sarcastic I will fucking slice you

 

[VirusType2]

Nightrage - Macabre Apparition

Anaal Nathrakh - Oil Upon The Sores of Lepers

I'll have to check that out.

Speaking of layers of tortured screams and manic chanting, you need to listen to Dodsferd's new EP "Suicide and the Rest of Your Kind Will Follow".

This guy is a one man band. I guess he loops the black metal guitar riffs and plays drums and sings. It's ****ing amazing. The title track is about 14 minutes long and I am sad when it ends.

Who would have thought tortured cries of agony could be so beautiful.

Motel Motel - Forest

 

[gFrohman]

Ali Akbar Khan - Come Back My Love

A great blend of Western & Indian music. Phenomenal sarod playing. It's too bad that the record this chart comes from is out of print.

 

[kineaesth]

On Dancefloors - Metronomy

So wonderfully tinny I LOVE IT

 

[Stigmata]

Nine Inch Nails - The Good Soldier

 

[kineaesth]

Homeboys - Maga Bo

Soundtrack to recreational drug use

the second song is pretty mesmer.

 

[Stigmata]

The Mars Volta - Copernicus

New album got leaked, yo. Definitely going to pick this up.

 

[knut]

Yeah, I heard it last week. Really enjoyed what I heard, a return to form after some pretty rubbish releases after Frances the Mute in my eyes.

Will do, man. Anaal Nathrakh is just the two guys (who also feature in other great bands, like sludgy grind bastards Mistress, who are top) and a drum machine but it's so ****ing intense, it's difficult to comprehend. Black metal without the silly facepaint and grvm mentalities - just two short haired Napalm Death fans from Brum. Stormin'

And So I Watch You From Afar - Set Guitars to Kill

Great jazzy instrumental (sortof) band in the vein of Battles, little more straightforward though. Liking it alot.

Discovering a bit of Rory Gallagher

 

[Stigmata]

I dunno, right now I'd actually rate it below Frances and Bedlam, but above De-Loused and Amputechture. But it feels a bit more inventive than Bedlam, and more melodic. So no real complaints.

How'd you manage to hear it a week ago?

The New Pornographers - Streets of Fire

Above De-Loused whaaaaaaaaat. De-Loused is TMV at they're finest to me, it's my favourite album of theirs. I couldn't stand Amputechture and Bedlam and can only appreicate Frances at times.

I have my contacts. My feelers are extended, probes in the backstream...

Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm

Perfect rainy day music, the gloom hangs low around this band in such a thick, sludgy cloud of dispair and anguish and yet I can't help but grin like a loon to this fantastic song.

 

[gFrohman]

David Sampson - Morning Music, for brass quintet (performed by the American Brass Quintet)

Such an awesome piece, but hard as balls to play & put together.

 

[Ennui]

Grateful Dead - Scarlet Begonias

 

[Vegeta897]

The Flashbulb - Maybe All This Time I Was Wrong

 

[PvtRyan]

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Don't know which version I like better.

J.S. Bach - Prelude & Fugue in A Minor BWV 543

Bach still kicks ass.

 

[Vegeta897]

Flying Lotus - Golden Diva

 

[knut]

Autechre - Altibizz

Been a while since I've listened to Quaristice. Top album, still need to crack into some parts of it but what kind of ae album would it be to actually be easy listening upon first listen? The best albums are growers, always.
