haven't been listening much cuz i havne't heard much good for awhile.


heard months ago, and if i'd still been listening i'd be tired of it: someone's (Gabriel & Dresden?) slight remix of "rush is on" is nice tho not revolutionary.

moslty i'm just waiting for the next thing..

oop correction
'As The Rush Comes' :-)

Right now:

"Money Will Ruin Everything" comp on Rune Grammofon
New Kim Hiorthoy albums on Smalltown Supersound
"Elektronische Musik Intercontinental 3" comp on Traum (okay, just the Broker/Dealer track), as well as Broker/Dealer's "Initial Public Offering" offering from last year.
Marz: "Love Streams" (awesome! why didn't I hear about this album when it came out two years ago?)
Stephan Mathieu: "Die Endeckung des Wetters"
Kompakt 100 remix compilation
Klimek: "Milk and Honey"
Trapez "Selection 2" mix CD
Dj/Rupture vs. Mutamassik
All of W. Voight's output as Gas
Pan Sonic: "Kesto"
Deathprod box set
Trapist: "Ballroom"
"Archiv 1.1" comp on Raster.Noton
Minamo: "Shrine/Nest"
Mouse on Mars: "Radical Connector" (out in August. Like Timbaland for the 22nd century or something. The last Lithops album is great, too.)
RAMP: "Come into Knowledge"
Marvin Gaye: "I Want You" deluxe reissue
William Basinski: "A Red Score in Tile"
Streaming mixes from www.typerecords.com

Boards of Canada have a great new interactive web presence, for those who haven't checked it out. Features lots of ultra-chilled sounds a la "A Beautiful Place Out in the Country."

P.S. for BOC fans who haven't ever heard Stephen Halpern's "Spectrum Suite" album from the mid-70s, take heed. It's basically the sonic pallette BOC have been biting since their debut.

by the way....this thread is great....keep it alive. i've found good sh|t from your posts...

but for the life of me- limewire isnt giving me a drop of music, nor is any other mp3/file sharing programs...

what do you guys use??

my own disclaimer: i do not condone the demoralization of music artists' hard work with free music downloading....usually...

nah- seriously- if i like more than one song, i'll buy the album. yep....

and especially for some philip glass....need some glass....

check out the soulseek thread. the program is quiet good. the links are there. ( you can find the music files organized in their original albums. its organized and sorted by album. its worth a look)

is anyonelse finding the "blue skied an clear" compilation on morr music as glorious as i am?

Mason: nothing is as glorious as you...
but there you go, you have a free ticket to make fun of me next time I screw up my grammar.

Back to the music:
If you kiddies want to know what architecture school was like back in the day or if all you geezers my age want to feel nostalgic, blow the dust off those Future Sound of London cd's. Papua New Guinea was my favorite. what was yours?

Oh, aye, knew I was missing something. FSOL :) I listening to ISDN and Tales of Ephidrena quite a lot at the moment...

Javier, Then you must hear the new D&B remix of Papua New Guinea in rotation on Metropolis/KCRW.

I'll throw down my rotation as of late:

OutKast-Stankonia
Tortise- It's all around you
Air- Talkie Walkie
Tindersticks- Nenette et Boni
The Aluminum Group- More Happiness
Bowie- Hunky Dory
The Best of Rodney On The ROQ
Film School- Alwaysnever

I better check that out...

ryan adams (everyday)
damien rice

nic armstrong (esp his chuck berry cover)

Zeibin: good call on Cap'n'Jazz, something about Analphabetapolothology that keeps both CDs in my heavy rotation... you've probably heard of them, but if you haven't, check out American Football's self-titled album.

Yessah, American Football is great. In the same vein of "you've probably heard," try Owen, the Statistics, Despistado, Jawbreaker, and Jets to Brazil. Actually, just about anything from Jade Tree tends to work pretty well... You might also try Q and Not U, who I heard for the first time last night while cleaning the house I just moved out of.

Speaking of Cap'n'Jazz - anyone listening to Joan of Arc? Good stuff, and I really don't mind that it's very pretentious pop without melodies.

Anyone have the newest Modest Mouse? That one song thats one the radio seems awefully polished compared to the stuff on the other albums (ie The Lonesome Crowded West and Sad Sappy Sucker) and makes me very weary of picking up the album. Any reviews?

Picked up the new modest mouse yesterday, friend told me about it and i really like the cover (I seem to only buy cd's for the cover otherwise public library!) Its good but i have little experience with previous albums so i couldnt tell you to get it or not. It is not "polished" by any of the mainstream standards.

Currently spinning the above, Hand of Doom ( set of black sabbath covers by Melissa Auf der Maur), Metric: Old World Underground, Broken Social Scene, Mad Villian

People have to check out Joel Plaskitt and the Emergencies recently came through my town and the really rocked good Canadian talent not this Avril Fefe crap record companies seam to come to Canada for now.

Here's what's in my ears

AC/DC - Back in Black
Metallica - S&M
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
The Electric Joe Satriani
Al Di Meola - Kiss My Axe
The very best of Sting & The Police

the new modest mouse album should have been called
good news for new fans, bad news for old fans who don't want to admit that they still like us
i think the cheaply priced, well marketed cd is bringing modest mouse in to the 5 second spotlight of the music industry.

what the hell is up with re-releasing this is a long drive..., moon and antarctica? since when do albums get re-released 3 years after they originally come out?

I believe the story was that they weren't happy with the way the originals turned out in the mix, so they wanted to re-release to get things sounding different/better. So I've heard, anyway...

I've also heard it grows on you.

I picked up Neil Diamonds Greatest Hits today. BRILLIANT. I would like the current rash of "indie bands" to be thrown in a chipper shreader. This would include Modest Mouse, The Strokes, The Stills, Franz Ferdinand, Jet, and the new crappy version of Incubus (yeah, I know these bands aren't new, but they all crapped into the mainstream at once and now it sucks). Additionally, the 'cut and paste' style videos that they all seem to have needs to go too. It was cool when Incubus did it (I think thier's was the first to come out), but now Franz and Modest Mouse have almost identical videos. It's as bad as when all rap videos featured speed boats, stretch SUVs and sepia toned film. Hopefully something good will come out of this current musical climate.

i am the 100th poster to "archinect readers music taste" post!
kick ass...i'm drunk.

Hasselhoff: Something good did come out of the current musical climate: Britney Spears' "Toxic".
