not necessarily what you're listening to, just general music discussion.

Recently I've been on a mad post-rock / hip hop binge. Odd combination but it's working.

Explosions in the Sky has been on serious rotation for those relaxing times and A Tribe Called Quest, Jurassic 5, and Wu Tang have been doin' my ears good for some hip hop.
I been rappin' for about 17 years..
I don't write my stuff anymore,
I just kick it from my head you know what I'm sayin I can do that.
No disrespect... but that's how I am.

Good topic ..

I've been listening to a lot of Siouxsie & the Banshees lately .. and a lot of the new Ghostface - Fishscale album.

i listen to a pretty ecclectic range of musick, but hip hop was my shit in the late 80's and all through the 90's. my girl has been listening to the smiths a lot in the car, album with "death of a disco dancer", and i'm feelin' it. really feelin' it. also was bumping siah and yeshua dapo ED's first ep the other day and on wax too.

[Liu Soula]

haven't been into J5 since "jayou". for some reason, lost interest in them after that period. they're dope and got skills and all, but they don't do much for me.

[dystaind]

DUDE. i've been listening to wu-tang and explosions. ghostface just played here tonight but i ended up watching 50 cent's movie.

been listening to random hip hop (wu tang, majesticons, mf doom/king gheedorah) and instrumental ambient stuff (explosions in the sky, malady, funeral diner)

[onemancult]

Some great stuff mentioned so far...

the new Man Man is really, really good if you're into raucous post-everything shanty jams.

the new Placebo album Meds is their best since Without You I'm Nothing. they've really come a long way as far as the inclusion of a lot more electronic elements in their sound, something that made the last two records stumble.

the upcoming Pretty Girls Make Graves record Elan Vital has jumped ship from the dub-influenced space-out post-punk they'd perfected on the last album onto the Challenger...
they went really out there with Elan Vital, it's still definitely the same band, but there's
a lot more heady, moody stuff going on.

lately i've also been listening to a lot of metal; Behemoth's fucking intense, the new
Children of Bodom, Red Chord, rediscovering Morbid Angel, the Berzerker's amazing cover of "Corporal Jigsore Quandary" (my vote for one of the best metal tracks ever)... tons of black metal albums I'd not listened to in a long time. Finding out that Absu are the best fucking USBM band around, hands down. Municipal Waste just thrashed out the best crossover
album that the 80's forgot...

German electro-spazzes Bondage Fairies... NY scums A.R.E. Weapons...

Current 93, Death In June...

[350poundhotcakes]

lately its been a lot of psychish-pop ish kinda sorta stuff...neutral milk hotel, the shins, brian jonestown massacre, later oasis, radiohead, kasabian, post-revolver beatles. i guess its not much of a category.

gotta give it to j5, talib kweli, and kanye for the hip hop end.

for mellow stuff, theres a whole lot of elliott smith. some acoustic oasis, pulp, flake music. all good stuff do chill out to.
BALDERDASH.

[ktothe]

I just got that new Vakill album and its dope as hell. Easilly the album of the year so far. Ive also been listening to a lot of MF Grimm's older stuff. Then just to mix it up some Shai Hulud and Left Over Crack. I love the temp changes in Shai.

--- Original message by onemancult on Mar 6, 2006 02:06 PMYeaaah yo whatsup with all the post-industrial and folk? Is it the bad times we are in? I've been listening to mad industrial and apocalyptic folk too... Like out of nowhere I dug all that shit up. U get into SPK at all? That shit is real dark and intense. What post-industrial u been on?

Children of Bodom are kind of ill, but yo, those synths man are so cheesy alot of the time I feel like that shit is for kids who play alot of Halo or something. U heard EARLY MAN? They are like everything awesome about metal in the 80's smashed into one band consisting of two people. If you grew up listening to metal u will love it. And while we are on the "Man" bands I just got this album by a guy called "Man," it's called Helping Hands. Some nice shit, alot of acoustic piano with some nice electronic...

A good industrial/metal crossover is Godflesh. It's really slow and dark... And yoooo on the post-punk/proto-industrial tip... KILLING JOKE IS THE FUCKING ILLEST BAND EVER. I'm obsessed.

I'm listening to that old LFO- Sheath album at the moment there are some amazing parts. And to cheer up I been listening to the throwback first Zoot Woman album. It's perfect. Those French know how to make some great pop and house for days...

Thank god a couple cats here really know music. Granted I love Ghostface, and I listen to Dipset and MOTHERFUCKING OSCAR WINNERS Three Six Mafia all day, but alot of these kids need to expand their taste a bit... Only listening to hiphop and rap is very uninspiring.

Red Foxxworth/onemancult: if you're listening to "apocalyptic folk" (I hate that genre name..) check out Six Organs of Admittance's latest album, School of the Flower, if you haven't already. Mind-blowingly good psych/kraut-inspired folk that sits right alongside David Tibet et al.

also Foxxworth, check out Justin Broadrick's project Jesu. Very, very good stuff. Kind of like a metal version My Bloody Valentine played at 16RPM with incredibly depressing slowed-down vocals laid on top of it.

[onemancult]

RedFoxxworth; SPK's awesome, always loved them. Great shit to throw on and let it just play in the background and fill up the room. Keep your eyes peeled for this early 80's compilation called The Elephant Table Album- SPK is on there along with other greats like Coil, Nurse With Wound, Portion Control, Lustmord, etc. Basically, everyone who was anyone back then worth listening to in that scene is on that comp.

Children of Bodom I used to hate the hell out of but then I saw Dustin Dollin (pro skater, for anyone who doesn't know and wants to) skate to one of their songs in Baker 3 (a skateboarding video) and I gave em a second chance. The synths get over the top, but I can deal with it... I'm only down with Hatebreeder and Are You Dead Yet?, the rest of their stuff is just too much keyboard masturbation. Early Man is aight, but after seeing em live I think of those two cats as just some hipster dudes cashing in on metal... I've got plenty of brutal shit to listen to before I give them a spin, but they're decent.

My contribution for "man" bands? Portugal.The Man- retarded name, but a great experimental pop group. Catchy, but still busting a few boundaries.

Always loved Killing Joke n' Godflesh. Justin Broadrick's a genius, Jesu is really worth
checking out, as minya mentioned. Really crushing stuff, swallows you whole.
And for something similar but actually kind of upbeat there's this band called Torche which
is your usual doom metal group, but they spin it in a psych-pop direction... so it's heavy and slow, but there's clean vocals and trippy guitar work.

minya = I can't really get into Six Organs of Admittance, for whatever reason. But hey, Ben Chasny from SOoA played on the upcoming Current 93 album that's out in May... first new material in a long while. And double hey, Ben's also a member of Comets on Fire, and I think they're phenomenal.

I've given up almost completely on American hip-hop. I grew up on it here in the Bronx and I mean, I lived and breathed hip-hop, mainstream and independent, from Bad Boy to the dude on my corner who had the sickest flows ever... but I seriously OD'd on it when i hit high school, and I just couldn't deal anymore.. I will always vouch for Three Six Mafia, though. And, honestly, Dipset may be 'ruining hip hop' as some people say, but you know what? HIP HOP NEEDS TO BE RUINED. Let em do it, Paris to Purple City was fucking great.

That said, I think grime is the most epic stuff ever. Not just Dizzee Rascal and Lady Sov and whatever, that's some real fire bursting up out of the UK. Anyone on here ever heard No Lay on the two Run the Road compilations? The sheer... force in her flow is more intense than death metal.

Man, I really rant when it comes to the tunes...

[naturaljax]

Dizzee Rascal is a great listen, he's pretty damn entertaining.
I'll give Dispet and the like credit, they're great to dance to, and just have a good time, but when I want to listen to some music with meaning they just don't cut it in terms of hip hop.

I just gotta say, I've been listening to a lot of old 80's powerpop recently, and MAN the Cars are some good shit. Seriously, if you get their "Best Of" album, you'll be able to listen to the entire thing the whole way through and never change a song.

I think someone mentioned the Smiths a bit earlier, and I've just gotta back them. Another great 80's band. The Smiths are awesome, even though they were around for such a short amount of time (What was it, 4 years?). They made some great tunes, check out "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" and "This Charming Man" if you haven't heard anything from them. Morissey's voice is really great.

Anyone else listen to Brand New? I know they kind of got caught up in that whole OMG EMO mess that happened about a year ago, but I really think that they're above that whole shit musically. I can't wait for their new album to drop, it's high on my list of CD's to want to cop this year.

Oh man, don't even get me started on the bastardizing of the word emo, I could go for days...
I been rappin' for about 17 years..

Run the Road compliation was very good. Roll Deep was a disappointment IMO though... Choong family is quite good, production is on point.

been really really into "punk metal" of late. the loud ones doin it for me

Cursed and Rise and Fall. got Rise and Fall's new album and i've listened to it practically every day. cursed was one of the best live shows i've ever seen. nearly blew my ears out WITH plugs in.

children of bodom are coming to my area-- one of those rare times a band comes let alone a band that shreds your face off like COB. hatebreeder is definitely the essential i think-- i've given the other CDs a listen but always end up just listening to hatebreeder.

jesu definitely makes me feel sludgey and like a swamp thing. my friend has been getting into a lot of doom and feeding me plenty of grimness on a daily basis.

anyone got some recommendations along the lines of cursed and rise and fall? i'm always thirstin for more music

Children of Bodom I used to hate the hell out of but then I saw Dustin Dollin (pro skater, for anyone who doesn't know and wants to) skate to one of their songs in Baker 3 (a skateboarding video) and I gave em a second chance. The synths get over the top, but I can deal with it... I'm only down with Hatebreeder and Are You Dead Yet?, the rest of their stuff is just too much keyboard masturbation. Early Man is aight, but after seeing em live I think of those two cats as just some hipster dudes cashing in on metal... I've got plenty of brutal shit to listen to before I give them a spin, but they're decent.

My contribution for "man" bands? Portugal.The Man- retarded name, but a great experimental pop group. Catchy, but still busting a few boundaries.

Always loved Killing Joke n' Godflesh. Justin Broadrick's a genius, Jesu is really worth
checking out, as minya mentioned. Really crushing stuff, swallows you whole.
And for something similar but actually kind of upbeat there's this band called Torche which
is your usual doom metal group, but they spin it in a psych-pop direction... so it's heavy and slow, but there's clean vocals and trippy guitar work.

minya = I can't really get into Six Organs of Admittance, for whatever reason. But hey, Ben Chasny from SOoA played on the upcoming Current 93 album that's out in May... first new material in a long while. And double hey, Ben's also a member of Comets on Fire, and I think they're phenomenal.

I've given up almost completely on American hip-hop. I grew up on it here in the Bronx and I mean, I lived and breathed hip-hop, mainstream and independent, from Bad Boy to the dude on my corner who had the sickest flows ever... but I seriously OD'd on it when i hit high school, and I just couldn't deal anymore.. I will always vouch for Three Six Mafia, though. And, honestly, Dipset may be 'ruining hip hop' as some people say, but you know what? HIP HOP NEEDS TO BE RUINED. Let em do it, Paris to Purple City was fucking great.

That said, I think grime is the most epic stuff ever. Not just Dizzee Rascal and Lady Sov and whatever, that's some real fire bursting up out of the UK. Anyone on here ever heard No Lay on the two Run the Road compilations? The sheer... force in her flow is more intense than death metal.

Man, I really rant when it comes to the tunes...
--- Original message by onemancult on Mar 6, 2006 07:47 PMJEAH!!! We got some Supermusic™ going good right now!!

I have the Elephant Table comp. It's great. That Lustmord track... haha with The Message sample!! Whoa. I need to dig for more of their stuff. A really really dope comp: So Young But So Cold.... on Tigersushi. "Cold Wave" from France, late 70's to early 80's. Basically really dark new wave, or "Elephant Table" with pop appeal. If you Soulseek, hit me up: RedFoxxworth.

I would understand your Early Man suspicions EXCEPT that those guys are actually super serious about their shit. Like they did nothing but eat, sleep, drink and play metal. I met one of them once through a mutual friend, really cool guy and my friend said they are nothing short of obsessed with metal. So I believe they are the real deal.

Thanks for the Jesu recommendation both of you, I will Solarseek that shit ASAP as well as the other recommendations.

I must digress about grime though. I really can't stand it! And I've heard Run the Road, etc. Maybe some day it will *click* with me but not yet.

haha Aesop was the only nerd rap on their, though!

And as far as AR goes, he's got some good shit, but also some whack ass stuff too.
I don't like that stuff where I can't even understand what the fuck he's talking about.
He's got some good albums, though.

Music Snob Moment:

DrinDrin, why is your hip-hop list great and your rock list so shitty?
Everything after VU is sad.

dystained , for more metalcore (true metalcore, not crap bands like Avenged Sevenfold or whatever's popular with the mascara guy crowd) check out Kylesa. They're
pretty much like Cursed, but a bit more sludgey and blues-metal influenced. Also check out Converge.


RedFoxxworth Definitely dig the coldwave and darkwave, but usually just the 80s and early 90s stuff. Have you heard what that music has turned into? Most groups putting out cold/darkwave these days sound so bland and washed out, like elevator music for grown-up goth moms at the mall.

Fushitsusha's legendary man, you should look for everything you can find by Keiji Haino... he's got some mega indie cred.. Thurston from Sonic Youth's written poems about the guy. An all-around amazing performer and artist, every project he touches is gold.

Muslimgauze I used to love; how prolific the guy was is amazing. Similar strangeness hangs around the excellent Hafler Trio...which is, again, one guy... music's in a similar vein though, although it gets more intense and structured than MG ever does.

naturaljax Brand New... don't rise above the shit pile to me, I'm sorry. But
I am totally with you on the misuse of the term emo.... what the fuck does dashboard
confessional have to do with Rites of Spring or Sunny Day Real Estate?. And further, the bastardization of the term screamo.... what the fuck does The Used have to do with Heroin, Clikatat Ikatowi, or the rest of the Gravity records roster? That's what happens when stupid people are allowed to shop outside of Walmart...

In the modern electronica vein, since someone mentioned house music,
anything past '95 that isn't either heroin/micro-house sounds exactly like
everything that came before it. Seriously. House music is so fucking restrictive,
unless you fuck with it to the point that 95% of house music fans won't listen
to it, it's just boring.

Oh man, that was my favorite band of ALL TIME c. 2000; didn't like "In Reverie" that much though. I am buddies with their ex-manager at Vagrant though and you will be happy to know that they are recording and almost done with their new album; apparently it is alot like "Through Being Cool." If that is the case I can't friggin' wait.........

[dystaind]

had the honor of seeing kylesa with torsche :) annnd coliseum. i liked kylesa, though i missed some of their set and dont' have a CD. i'll have to give'em a more indepth listen. converge is an all-time favorite as well. i'm wearin a shirt from their jane doe tour right now.

also lovin the power-rock dance-pop-- Death from above 1979, the modey lemon (local), yeah yeah yeah's (new album is pretty awful though), whirlwind heat, battles, air guitar magazine (another local).

glad to see someone so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about music.

All very well lyrcist

And my rock list might not be that great since i hate alot of the shit that they play on t.v and don't like where rock is heading right now.
And Velvet underground is dope son...

STFU

[onemancult]

Okay, I'm going to assume there's a bit of a language barrier here and not immediately go on the offensive like I'd usually do...

I said your HIP HOP LIST was GREAT. GREAT means GOOD.

I said everything on your ROCK LIST AFTER the VELVET UNDERGROUND was BAD.
AFTER means BELOW, but not INCLUDING.



dystained, I think there's a lack of good, real metalcore bands like Cursed, Kylesa, etc. And by good, I'm including mediocre. Everything's just so retread, I mean, I can still blast Judge or Integrity and love it, but stuff that's just trying so hard to work like Himsa and whatnot. They're not all so similar, but Cursed's lead singer is a bit of a Canadian hardcore legend, as you may know- his previous bands Left for Dead, Ruination, and the Swarm are worth hunting down.

The YYY's album is really as bad as people are saying? That's sad. Then again, I think their first record caught on because of a lot of hype. After it died down, I could only really enjoy about a third of the album. Considering all those bands you mentioned, you should check out a couple of these if they're unfamiliar: Black Wire, Kill Kenada (highly recommended), Say Hi to Your Mom, and We Versus the Shark.

Anyone, feel free to tell me when this topic becomes too much of me writing geeked-out lengthy replies to people who made passing reference to my diatribes. I just happen to bleed sound if you cut me.

[dystaind]

none so much.

i agree with the metalcore band statement. i guess that's why i keep hearing this genre bleedover of "punk metal" and in some ways it's apt... but too often gets lumped in with 'metalcore'. yeah, i haven't been able to track down ruination/swarm/left for dead but perhaps sometime soon... we have a pretty good record store nearby and i just never give myself the time to check it all out.

the YYY album... i mean, there's definitely a pop aspect that they've always had. but the first record caught me because of the eccentricity. it seemed to be pop... yes, but it also threw itself with a kind of abandon. i mean there was a few misses here and there, but perhaps that's why the hits jsut hit so well-- it put itself out there and tried to make an album for the sense of fun, energy, and good spirit that all dance parties should have.

definitely love say hi to your mom. great name too :) i'll look for the others.

and i don't get/won't get tired of music. :)

STFU
--- Original message by DrinDrin on Mar 6, 2006 10:22 PMI'm actually going to have to side with him on this one, (regarding the rock) it was rather lacking. True, Velvet Underground is really, really good, I especially love the song Heroin. But other than that, you really had nothing good there. Panic! at the Disco especially, horrible re-hashed synthed-up version of Fall Out Boy. If you want though, I could reccomend some other bands to try to help you broaden up a bit.

If you like V.U., try The Arcade Fire, a lot of their songs could actually pass as V.U. songs and they're really good.

Also, for some better, synth-type music check out the Faint. While they aren't my absolute favorites, they are REALLY catchy and good, without being pretentious.

MF is a great MC, NaS has a classic album but recently hasn't delivered much. Jay-Z is good for a mainstream rapper, and I enjoy his music.

Have you checked out Dangerdoom?

Oh shit...
lol mah bad for backlashing like that man...
For some reason I didnt see the great before the hiphop thing. lol
forgive me
I'm a lil off today

Like I said in the previous post...
Where I live right now, "emo" or "screamo" is like the cool thing ot listen to...
After Fall out boy came out and I started seeing dudes in skin tight girl pants.
I seriously lost hope for the rock genre
So I stick to things before emo bands started poppin into the scene.
And I'm more of a "Indie" rock type of person and like mellow punk.
And metal, and hardcore rock isnt really my thing.

Dangerdoom is dope.

I congratulate all you Saves the Day fans for not giving a damn what's cool.

I've strongly disliked them since I went to a show they were headlining (Newfound Glory also played, I think) to see Piebald. It was a basement show, so no advance sales. I'm waiting in line for a frickin hour, gettin close, and the damn STD kids come out and point out cute girls and let them in. I missed Piebald. Awesome. And now Piebald sucks, too.

Anyone who thinks that music is abot style is obviously not really into their music...

Style is the problem with most music at the moment - the crossover between music and fashion means that a lot of what's celebrated today is as fleeting as this season's stock at Zara.

Good music stands the test of time and should transcend current trends and perceptions of cool.

That said, recently I've been listening to a lot of Neil Young, J-Live, Black Sheep, Gillian Welch and the Kinks. [I:]

Anyone who can't formulate an understanding of the word 'style' except in terms of fashion/trends shouldn't be allowed to listen to music or wear clothes.

--- Original message by onemancult on Mar 8, 2006 09:51 AMAll I see in much of what's considered "good" at the moment, is style winning out over substance.

[onemancult]

True, but much of what is considered 'good' actually isn't.
It all depends on what your perspective is.

I feel that people too often jump on the substance over style
side of the argument without realizing that the most substantive
of artists are some of the most incredible people stylistically- but,
that doesn't necessarily mean they're fashionable or trendy,
they just have a particularly unique way of being that becomes
iconic. Whether or not that becomes a part of fashion
is something else altogether- Neil Young had style, but he wasn't
stylized or stylish. There's a difference.

You can't really say that any of the music we've all talked about here is
stylized or lacking substance... so what, exactly, your point is, I'm not sure.

Mayhem are classics, though... come on, they've got a song called "Chainsaw Gutsfuck"!

[blindlemonjefferson]

On a slightly more serious note, how much of your like/dislike for music is influenced by the musicians themselves?

I mean, Lou Reed is perhaps an obvious example - he's a twat, but his music is great. As much as I feel that music should be judged on its own merit without the bells and whistles of on-the-road stories, drug overdoses and general personas, it's sometimes hard to distance the musicians from their music. Take someone like Pete Doherty or Kurt Cobain - both average musicians with a sprinkling of talent, but the only thing that thrust them into the mainstream was the fact that they were/are junkies. In the case of Nirvana, the stories seem to last a lot longer than the music - the next 13 year old you pass in suburbia wearing a Nirvana hoody is not a fan because the music "speaks" to him.

Considering that this is first and foremost a fashion/clothing website, when you talk about style in music are you talking about the music itself, or the style of the musicians? Is it about indie music or indie haircuts?

[sybaritical]

Quote: Take someone like Pete Doherty or Kurt Cobain - both average musicians with a sprinkling of talent

I disagree. As someone who was around when Nirvana appeared I'm inclined to believe that the angle that he approached 'Nevermind' at did change rock music. It destroyed Heavy metal - which remained listless for years afterwards before it started to pick itself up again - and united legions of indie kids the world over.

A lot of that might well have been down to the marketing department, but they didn't write his songs. And in terms of fashion, I doubt they told him how to dress either.

--- Original message by sybaritical on Mar 8, 2006 04:11 PMNot sure I agree with that - the way I see it, all Nirvana did was to follow in the footsteps of the punk ethos that had destroyed prog and metal a decade earlier. Killing off the likes of Iron Maiden is certainly commendable, but not exactly groundbreaking.

[sybaritical]

Maybe. But they had a different sound. No one had up until that point ever sounded like them. Which is where Cobain's talent lay.

Compare the opening 10 seconds of "U-Mass" to the opening 10 seconds of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"...



Nirvana were great and will go down in the canon of rock music (as will the Pixies probably) but what they did was hardly original, they just made it accessible to the masses.

[onemancult]

I just got home from work, all ready to do some Nirvana-hating, but everyone had to go and be civilized and actually use FACTS and TACT. Damn...

[dystaind]

to take on things into a different perspective

music has trends, ups and downs, and eclectic all-overs just like fashion. think of a band like a designer... i mean it's not much of a wonder that abercrombie and hollister go hand in hand with pop music. it's a form of expression. and sometimes a lack thereof :)

in my mind i try to stay open minded about music. in a lot of way i like to be the same about fashion. i mean yes there's a certain type of music i gravitate towards, and a certain look i head towards, but i think there's a large parallel between how someone dresses and the music they listen to. i mean, we still put our pants on pretty much the same way as they did a century ago. in that ways fashion is still similar and so is music. the good news i'd say is that nowadays there's no one specific style or one specific music genre that really defines and characterizes our decade. as a whole it varies from year to year, where there's the boyband boom, the discovery of "pop emo", "indie" becoming the new cool, gangster rap, or the latin craze. all of these happened within a few years of each other and in some ways at the same time.

however i think that if you become dogmatic about one thing-- whether it be fashion, music, or *coughreligion* then perhaps you fall into a dangerous category. that's for a whole nother topic and debate though.

Cattle Decapitation and 100 Demons have been at the top of my list lately.

[onemancult]

I had my head blown open really young when it comes to music. For whatever reason, the first three pieces of music I ever bought were bootleg tapes of Wu Tang's 36 Chambers, Gwar's Ragnarok, and The Bodyguard soundtrack. I was something like eight or nine, and I remember tripping balls over those three... what a fucking weird kid!

I still think Ragnarok is an awesome album- jokes aside, Gwar is a great metal band. Wu Tang's still legendary. And, as for The Bodyguard soundtrack... I love Dolly Parton. Her early stuff is so raw, it's funny how over-the-top her music and image became.

By the way, I totally forgot about this: onemancult on Soulseek. I'm in the process of throwing all my music onto a external hard drive I just bought, so pickins' are slim right now, but I'll mention when I open up shop.

[RedFoxxworth]

And PAILHEAD... that shit is amazing. AL Jourgensen with Ian MacKaye from Minor Threat. CRAZY.

i was a tool in middle school.

oh man, gwar as a first album, that's some good stuff. they've come here twice and i've missed it both from external situations. still... maybe there's next year.

Got hit by the ugly nu-metal phase in grade 8.

Now, much older, I can look back and laugh at my younger self.

Been recently doing deltron and Guru's various jazzmataz-es.

[cheapmuthafukr]

man... i guess i had it good music wise growing up... my dad was into "alternitive" in the mid 80s, so i always heard violent femmes, dead milkmen, english beat, joe jackson, ministry, etc.... then i got into hip hop early, i remember getting it takes a nation of millions back in 4th grade, bdp, tribe... never got nu-metal, but i was almost out of school by then and stopped listening to the radio altogether.

Coil is fucking GOD. i would inject Unnatural History Vol. 1 intravenously if i could install a fiber optic digital toslink input into my arm.

apocolyptic nihilism. thats whats up. get some doom metal in your head to further spiral yourself into suicidal depression.
like Sunn((o)) and Khanate or maybe some Isis

can anyone stand Merzbow? its like the audio version of taking 14 hits of LSD at once. it's reverse zen meditation and i find it actually very therapeudic at times. there is one incredible merzbow-related compilation i forgot what its called but it had an amazing roster of artists from Pan*sonic to Autechre.

brian eno - shutov assembly and apollo is a must

def Throbbing Gristle, Killing Joke and some Swans.

Aphex twin (ambient works, even some early afx/analog bubblebath series). Autechre (chiastic slide, anvil vapre). Squarepusher (Big loada, feed me wierd things), Plaid, Kinesthesia, and the rest of those wacky Warp/Rephlex IDM people. if you like that schizophrenic LSD glitchy shit theres a guy on myspace by the name of Terminal11 that does some incredible computerfucking.

to make your blood even saltier dont forget about these classics:
Slayer - reign in blood, Sepultura - arise.

and other such 80s thrash metal... Annihilator, Nuclear Assault, Kreator, and a lot of bands with the word ANGEL in it? i like it all, thanks.


plus of course the usual suspects... late 70s-early 80s punk, post-punk. Siouxsie - the scream is truly a brilliant record, right up there with unknown pleasures and the substance compilation.

hey i really like Death from Above1979 for some reason.

I love Tones On Tail. Thought they did better after Bauhaus than Peter Murphy, except for the album Dust, which was some epic stuff- the heavy Middle Eastern influence crossed with the industrial-lite sound made it a gem.

Horse Rotorvator is my favorite Coil album, hands down. I'd huff it.

I regularly drop the needle on some Merzbow for when I need my head cleaned out.
It's not reverse zen at all, if you get into that little spot where all that shit thrashing
out your eardrums is like little pick-axes destroying your ego, you've got yourself a
very zen-like state of mind.... and some bloody ears.

Throbbing Gristle/Genesis P-Orridge are a big influence on me. And Swans/Michael Gira.
His short stories are so fucking disgusting that they double back and are actually beautiful.

I think Juju is a better Siouxsie & the Banshees album, but that's just me.
It's more refined, and darker yet than The Scream...

my favorite record...EVER. you really need that. i have both the original copy and the special ed they made last year with all the remix. Shadow is like a god to me. i got to see him last september in Tokyo, was really really good and he didn't even play his own stuff, only obscure funk.

[dystaind]

man i'd kill to be able to spend a year sorting through his random vinyls. and rip it to a harddrive...

i believe this is a high school band playing his stuff... the snares are a bit loose but aside from that it's a pretty bang up good effort. it makes me admire conductors.

DJ Shadow is King of Diggin`.
Be Advised: Morgan Nixon AKA Moman631 AKA Moman6040 is a fraud.

his segment in Scratch is pretty amazing. the store basement he go to is insane. i would never have the patience to dig through that.

right now i'm feeling some pelican and some CSS (as in web design...)

[drew exclusive]

The Guiness Book of world records will be at the next municpal waste show here in Richmond to record the most stage dives in a single show. that band is a novelty.
