What are you listening to?

[Fumarole]

One Nation Under a Groove just at this moment thanks to Cardboard Children.

[Dubbill]

An ominous soundtrack for our British un-summer:

Two Lone Swordsmen - Machine Maid

[Juan Carlo]

I just discovered Daniel Johnston. He's this schizophrenic dude who did a bunch of awesome home piano and organ recordings on a tape deck in the early 1980s. He also did more professional stuff later on which is OK, but his early stuff is best. Hearing him really allows me to make sense of alot of the indie bands from the past 15 years or so, especially anti-folk people. He seems to have been hugely influential.

My current favorite song of his:

Lovely stuff, that rumbling bass is fantastic

[Voon]

Now for something slightly disturbing

[sabrage]

That was... Odd...

[Salix]

I really do think Arjen Lucassen is a genius, anyone who likes prog metal should seriously check out his stuff.

Crazy Spirit - S/T. It's like a more fucked up take on Bad Brain's good songs.

[Voon]

Now, this one from Fall of Because before they went on have themselves called Godflesh, instead. This one sounds rather... sinister. I'm surprised if this one comes out way back in the 80s because this sort of thing sounds like Trent Reznor does with NIN, imo

Fall of Because

Something about Broadrick's metal outings never sat well with me. Maybe it's the downright prodigious nature of his work; Aphex Twin somewhat intimidates me in that regard too. I do enjoy a couple Techno Animal songs, though:

Shame that The Bug blew up and went on to make shitty, shitty music instead of more Techno Animal... Though Martin's recent output on Hyperdub has been more to my tune.

Yeeeeeup. Same with Ministry, for me. I could stand Devastator, but man, Streetcleaner... I felt a bit uncomfortable listening as he started the vocals.

Never heard of Techno Animal, though. That one was pretty good.

Daniel Johnston is quite great, though he's one of those artists that I have a hard time introducing to people as he's more than a little out there at times. It's amazing how many times his stuff has been covered, with varying amounts of success. One of my favourite songs by him is with a great cover by TV on the Radio

[Splynter]

EDIT:

I'll also recommend checking out The Devil and Daniel Johnston, a documentary about him.

[Xercies]

Another Sigur Ros album, beutiful perfect and giving me orgasms with some of the things it comes out with

[Voon]

Hope you got some insulin shots. 'Coz watching this is going to give y'all diabetes

This song almost never gets out of my head, especially my sis started singing this.

[tjv]

Wish that I had discovered this band 20 years ago.

[Kaira-]

What an infernal earworm. I can't remember how the song goes when I try to hum it, but if I don't think about it, it'll strike like a hook and won't leave my head for a week. Damn.

[tossrStu]

The new Bobby Womack LP is all kinds of amazing.

[Leopig]

God I miss the late 90's - early 2000's Blink 182 - Sum 41 type music.

[tjv]

The ORIGINAL Hypocrisy - Apocalypse. The newer version is not too bad either.
