fugees
radiohead
guster
kayne west
and a little neal diamond to end the day

Ddot - i've been listening to paul's boutiqe lately too. not too crazy about the newer beasty boy stuff but boutique and license to ill are classic.

someone sent me a really great mix of 'intergalactic' remixed with herbie hancock, inxs, and acdc. believe it. here it is for those interested:

*cue throwing of rotten cabbage*

-beatmeofficer-

Check out DJ Mitsu the Beats for some jazzy, mellow hip hop-ish stuff.

oe v.2.0:

when was the last time third eye came out with anything decent? I gave up after "ghost". and i am suspicious of boards new direction .... geogaddi is gathering lots of dust on my shelf. but i second your fourtet and broken social scene .. that seventeen year old girl song gives me the chills.

I have been listening to the new wilco album. It's not out in stores yet but you can hear it at:

www.wilcoworld.net

Dj Illusion and Terra's weekly Drum 'n Bass sets from the UK. And some Morrissey, 2 live crew "is what they are", Tribe Called Quest... thrown in there too.

i've been listening to:
holly golightly
RATATAT
nice nice
black sabbath
serge gainsbourg
the cure
the trojan rocksteady boxset

Thievery Corporation
Six Degres Records African Travels
Terry Hall & Mushtaq
Dj Cheb I Sabbah
Ali Farka
Burning Spear (new & classics)

Hey Y'all
My friend sent me this page for the Italian Cosmic movement.
Boogie.

Michael Manring (one word: thonk)
Marcus Miller (check out the Ozell Tapes - Live)
Jean-Luc Ponty
Pat Metheney Group
Jaco Pastorius (he's dead now but listen to his self-titled debut album)
Christian McBride

many more....

Madvillainy by MF DOOM and Madlib. In my opinion one of the best albums ever of any genre. Anyone that likes hip-hop needs to know about it.

I've listened to Madvillany, and its good, but I personally prefer Operation: Doomsday over it. Comes off to my ear as being a little more light-hearted and a bit smoother in most parts. But then again, I've never claimed to be much of a hip-hop conesiour (which I'm sure is spelled completely wrong). Here's some of my latest.

Johnny Cash
At the Gates
Coheed and Cambria
Deltron Zero/Del the Funky Homosapien
DJ Abilities
Jurassic 5
Motorhead
Slayer
Stan Getz
Sunny Day Real Estate
Melt Banana

On another note, has anyone heard the new Morrisey CD yet? Waiting to hear some reviews before I hunt it down.

Refused: Shape of Punk to Come

Tom Jobim: A Felicidade

Chico Buarque: Cotidiano

Naked City: Reanimator

re: ya, er, Third Eye, maybe will get better or maybe dead somewhere in a ditch wrapped in plastic and duct tape, lord knows.. But I have high hopes for the Hexigon Sun boys, they like to tease and torture us with thier secret little games. We shall see by the end of the year? I hope?

Also.

Refused: very nice.
Madvillany: also exelent, reminds me I fogot to mention RJD2
Burning Spear: !
Ratatat. yes, only a few listens thus far, good good avec smiley faces.

current faves:

nin
Radiohead
Outkast
Tricky
Portishead
Kanye West
The Cure
dizzee rascal
stone roses
pixies

Anyone like Godspeed You Black Emperor, and is it appropriate that it makes me cry and curl up in a corner?

Listening to a popular music station @ work through a peecee speaker is seriously mind numbing

so at my pad I like to crank out:

DJ Shadow
Aphex Twin (great when doing the dishes and cleaning up, you'll be done twice as fast)
Boards of Canada

James Holden
Sander Kleinenberg

Danko Jones
Blood for Blood
Hatebreed

Saint Germain
Django Reinhardt
Sanseverino
Bebel Gilberto
Ogres de Barback
snd trck to "Lost in Translation"
and to "black cat white cat"
Thelonious Monk
Syd Barrett
Rachel's
Paolo Conte
Besh o Drom

and Paul's remix of Bboys - good one.

Check http://www.meshell.com/

lost of sample tracks - start with the first album: Plantation Lullabies

hmm in rotation now

best of Gypsy Kings

and best of Nina Simone

yeah I've been in that kinda mood

but that Intergalatic remix by the Beastie Boys was hype!

yes... godspeed is amazing. though usually i curl in a corner before i start the crying. Check out Explosions in the Sky, they are similar to godspeed, but from texas.

oh my...

anyone ever notice how nina simone's basslines and basic harmonies are copied throughout most of modern (some good) music?

elbow. anyone heard of it?
tom waits (alice is just an amazing blues/jazz ballad)
the bad plus
radiohead (of course)
mum
the lemonade heist
the stranglers
Wu-tang
the new Meth is amazing
buena vista social club
la dimension latina (old old salsa)
the rest of the old but good stuff (bjork, portishead, rare old dmb, theivery corp, flaming lips, sigur ros, cafe del mar..etc)

nice delivery on the wu-tang clan
the flaming lips is also a must have

Elbow yes! and Mum! oh forgotsiez,

Elbow I find um, for somereason are 50% of the tracks are simply brilliant and beautiful, Any Day Now, Powder Blue, Asleep in the Back, Crawling with Idiot, Ribcage, Ive got Your Number; while the other half is woefully mediocre...

Canadian rock! (not bryan adams ... but unicorns, stills, broken social, ninja tune, gsybe, do make say think, fly pan am ....)
with a cold molson it is just dandy.

word.

the new album by the streets "a grand don't come for free" is worth to check out: english working class "odyssey" with strong cockney accent and fresh home-made beats.

oe - were i wearing a hat i'd tip it. i thik you have good taste.
now in cd player: Sole. bottle of humans
was in cd player: selling live water
califone. heron king blues
( which isn't as good as Cradlesnakes...)
buena vista social club
themselves
pizzica from my italian housemate.
tom waits
caetano veloso
Amon Tobin
outkast
lou reed
miles
rhazel
90 day men

the new morrissey album is highly recomended too.

Ima Robot, The Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Cat Power....

been particularly enjoying chris clark's 'empty the bones of you'. the more i listen to it, the more i find gems i didn't notice before. he has a really interesting, almost tactile sensibility to 'sculpting' sound.
nice video by the collective 'lynn fox' too. i think they were bartlett alums.
