higsARCH:

What are your feelings of international noise conspiracy vs. refused?
I personally prefer refused and whenever I start listening to INC I end up switching over to refused...

And for those that are more into the post-hardcore stuff:
am I the only one out there that can't stand the two most recent HotWaterMusic CDs? I don't like the change in vocals, they're too crisp compared to the raspy sound of the older CDs.

agreed, chuck and chris and whoever else are just trying to push their shit mainstream, which is a bad bad bad choice IMHO. bastards

actually, i think its the producer that f'd it up, it happens.

like whats up with les savy fav's 'inches'
yeah its great, but it is all reissued stuff from the past to get new listeners. whats wrong with the old ones?
bitches

newer stuff:
Fiery Furnaces
Arcade Fire
Kasabian (awesome)

and
Stereolab
Bowie
Libertines
Pixies

KCRW streaming radio

House music to keep you pepped up and going while pumping out the cad:

solu music - fade
Ramsey Lewis - Do what you wanna do
Speech-If U was me

nina simone's anthology

me v. you, i just bought that on itunes... good stuff

right now the stone roses are on the radio, and i <heart> stone roses.

lately i have been listening to a lot of bright eyes, both of the new ones.

nightmares on wax.

and the gotan project

gotan project is ok, but its electro-tango .I would recommend listening to the "old skool duddes", like anibal troilo, or roberto goyeneche, or astor piazzolla, its good to check the roots.

i like bright eyes but can't hear the name without thinking of that song "total eclipse of the heart"
once upon a time i was falling in love
now i m only falling apart
something something something
a total eclipse of the heart

turn around bright eyes.

wow haven't heard their junk for so long.

and you remind me of, Bush - Letting The Cables Sleep - - Nightmares On Wax, Remix

got that taped somewhere. which is all i listen to except radio, so nothing obscure, sorry.

answering the op's question, i prefer lively tuneful junk. 30's to now. whatever works. iseley's aphrodite cream chems stones wire booker t. luke slater daft punk crystal meth -- lotsa unknown junk.



old tape of unknown, possibly original, mix:

Same

Bits of other people keep running into me
They say you know just who you are
I am getting pulled into shadows that surround
I see you sitting on your cold star

Help me I'm merging into all
I used to dream I was this tall
My new eye is opening up to black and gold
Everything is turning out the same
Everything is turning out the same

When I'm coming down there are buzzes in my ears
I can feel them floating around
All the walls are shaking
'Cause they were never real
Sweet to see things falling apart
Help me I'm merging into all
I used to dream I was this small
And my new eyes opening up to black and gold
Everything is turning out the same
Same same same same same same same same...

All the walls are shaking
'Cause they were never real

Help me I'm
Same same same same same same same same...
