Badmovies.org Forum

so what's everyone been listening to lately. it's been a rather diverse roster for myself:

1. Unearth - the Oncoming Storm
2. Yo La Tengo - I Can Feel the Heart Beating As One
3. Blood for Blood - Whitetrash Anthems
4. Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
5. Champion - Promises Kept (this is some straight-up, kick ass straight-edge hardcore from Seattle, and this band really is passionate about their beliefs).

anyone else bought any new or interesting bands?

I've been settling back into punk/ska as I normally do every spring/summer.

Here's what I've been listening to lately:

1. The Gadjits - At Ease

2. Dropkick Murphys - Gangs All Here

3. Planet Smashers - Self Titled, Mighty, Attack Of, No Self Control, Life Of The Party

4. Vandals - Live Fast, Diarreah

5. Mighty Mighty Bosstones - More Noise And Other Disturbances, Don't Know How To Party

6. Hepcat - Right On Time

The list could go on forever.  I guess it's the weather that puts me in the mood for punk/ska.  There's nothing better to drive with the windows down, 75 degrees outside, with The Gadjits on the radio.

Enigma
Ac/dc
Pink Floyd
Concrete Blond

I listen alot to local NYC punk bands such as:

Le tigre
Bikini kill
!!! (yes thats a really the bands name)
Ramones

Then alot of the old Rock

AC/DC
Guns and Roses
Motley Crue
Van Halen

I could go on forever but thats the current stuff as of right now. This is a little off topic but I am going to see 3 concerts this summer: David Lee Roth, Def Leppard, and Motley Crue. Rock On.

Bikini Kill?  I haven't heard of them in years!


Rich, don't forget to take your mullet!  :o)

i didn't know Bikini Kill was a NY band. man you guys got a kickass hardcore scene there. i just saw Sick of it All live not too long ago, talk about an awesome energetic show! NYCH rules! Most Precious Blood, Sick of it All, Madball, represent!

Skaboi,Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill plays for Le Tigre now so if you can check them out.  Yes Chopper the rock scene here in NYC is pretty intense. Clubs like CBGB, Bowery ballroom and Mercury lounge are all good places. If your ever in NYC look for check them out. You might see a shaved head, biker jacket and Van Halen T shirt wearing 20 year Old :)

Hmm....what have I been listening too?  a bit of variety

Dream Theater - Train Of Thought, Images and Words
Miles Davis with Quincy Jones in some live recording of Gil Evans arrangements
Rush - Vapor Trails
Kirk Whalum and Bill James - Joined At The Hip..
Ron Kenoly - Sing Out...With One Voice, Welcome Home
Eric Johnson - La Via Musicom
Carribbean Jazz Project
Def Leppard - Hysteria
some random Dokken greatest hits.
Charlie Parker

I got a new Bud Spencer/Terence Hill-Soundtrack:
"The very best of Bud Spencer &Terence Hill"
I love the Theme-Song of "Hector" (BudSpencer solo-film) as well as "Bulldozer"

I like Italian music very much. Even Pop Music like "Al Bano&Romina Power" or "Ricchi e Poveri". Funny stuff...

One should be open to all kinds of music. My oppinion is, no matter what kind of music, it has just to sound good. That´s what I learned from seven years of Metal-Mania: I was too focused on one sort of music, now it sucks.

Dead Milkmen
and Richard Cheese (new CD out soon!)

>>>One should be open to all kinds of music. My oppinion is, no matter what kind of music, it has just to sound good. That´s what I learned from seven years of Metal-Mania: I was too focused on one sort of music, now it sucks.


That is so true.  I usually go through phases of Dance, rock and rap instead of focusing on just one.  Everyone should be open to all kinds of music [except the underground folk music scene, that could be scary]  

At the moment I recently borrowed some cds from my library at Uni:

Game of death [Bruce Lee Film]
House of Frankenstien Soundtrack
Forbidden Planet OST
The Magnificent Seven
The Best of Hammer Horror
A compilation cd of famous songs from movies such as King Kong, Citizen Kane, North By Northwest, The day the earth stood still and so on.

and have been also listening to:
Leftfield: Leftism
Handsome Boy Modelling School: White People
U.N.K.L.E: Never Never Land
Led Zeppelin: Greatest Hits
Daddy G: Dj Kicks
and Brainfreeze: A dj mix by DjShadow and Cut Chemist [highly reccommended]

I have also been getting into punk covers as a way of breaking up the dance music I usually listen to, with the most recent ones I have found are punk cover versions of 'No woman no cry' 'Don't cry for me Argentina' and 'Phantom of the opera'

I listen to too much bloody music...

Lessee... Lately, I've been listening to:

Beck - Midnight Vultures
Love - Forever Changes
The Kleptones - A Night at the Hip Hopera (hilarious, really well-done set of mash-ups between Queen's music and vocals from assorted rap songs, as well as other sources. It's technically illegal, but there's always a few mirror sites up at any given time)
The Billy Nayer Show (totally bizarre band from the minds who did The American Astronaut, a movie that would probably appeal to most folks here)
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
Richard Hell & the Voidoids
Captain Beefheart
Tiny Tim (way cooler than most people gave him credit for)
Screamin' Jay Hawkins

As far as soundtracks go, I find I have a weakness for John Barry's music.  It's often very soulful and elegiac (Dances with Wolves; Out of Africa; Born Free).  But he's also good at writing dramatic, hair-raising music, like in the James Bond films or on tracks like "The Buffalo Hunt" in Dances with Wolves.  

I'm a big fan of Ennio Morricone's work in Clint's old spaghetti westerns (though my personal favorite is his haunting score to the Clintless Once Upon a Time in the West).  He's also made memorable contributions to some of Warren Beatty's more recent films, like Bugsy and Bulworth.  

Lastly, I  find Thomas Newman's gentle, wistful music in movies like the Shawshank Redemption and Road to Perdition to be very affecting stuff.   A major talent  IMHO, just like his cousin Randy.

Away from the movie theatre, my tastes fly all over the map.  I identify with the one poster who said his/her listening habits go through phases.  Me, I'll get hooked on a certain artist for months at a time and I'll listen obsessively to everything they've done--until finally I suffer burnout and I'll  tune out their music entirely, sometimes for years.  I've gone through my Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Sex Pistols, Beach Boys, and Sinatra phase.  I wonder what the next drug's gonna be.

Laurie Berkner...lots and lots of Laurie Berkner...

Odinn7,

That's one that I omitted from my list.  I feel your pain, I really do.

Brian Eno and his travelling band of minstrels.

SOmehow i have extracted music from the writing of Hunter S. Thompson and how I do enjoy reading his writing.

ALso as a farce, NWA.

I'm listening to a lot of different stuff and it usually depends on the writting project I'm working on. I was in a heavy 50s mode (Perry Como, Kay Starr, Jo Stafford, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry etc.).

However what I've listened to the most (good old cassette tape in car and Walkman, no fancy Ipod) recently:

"A House is Not a Hotel"  by Love
"Wooden Ships" by CSN
"All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix
"Hard Rains Gonna Fall" by Bob Dylan
"The End" by the Doors
"When I Was Young" by the Animals
"Golden Country" by REO Speedwagon
"I'd Love To Change The World" by Ten Years After
"What You Gonna Do About Me" by Quicksilver Messenger Service
"Revolution" by The Beatles
"Get Together" by the Youngbloods
"Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath
"Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire

Before anyone says I'm in a doom ladden mood, I managed to play "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" on the nostalgia show I produce.

Gotta admit Jimi Hendrix's "All along the Watchtower" is a damn good tune.

Today, Kraftwerk. I brought everything from Kraftwerk 1 to Tour de France Soundtracks with me to work to see if I could get through them all. I'm on Autobahn at the moment.

You poor bastard.

Strapping Young Lad - "Alien"
Nile - "In Their Darkened Shrines"
Clutch - "Blast Tyrant"
Corrosion of Conformity - "Wiseblood"
Macabre - "Murder Metal"
Exodus - "Tempo of the Damned"
Mastodon - "Leviathan"

Ozzymandias, by show you run do you mean radio show? i'd like to get into some form of radio when i get out of the military one day, perhaps the college radio scene. i've got quite the "interesting" music collection, plus a unique voice from what i've been told :)

wow Brother R, you brought me back a lot of memories of an awesome young lad i was friends with in tech school. he was a mad black metal fan and used to be in a couple bands. real smart, compassionate guy too.

Many, if not most, metal fans are, although popular media would have you believe otherwise.  I cannot, however, speak for most of the people who post on Blabbermouth and similar metal sites.  Sadly, as with most any area of belief/fandom/whatever, the idiots have the loudest voices.

\m/

Kraftwerk is one of the most interesting electronic bands in the world today. They have been making such good music for so long, I consider them to be the best.

Ralf & Florian is one of my favorites, and the song Tongebird (sp?) rocks.

yeah i hear ya Brother R, i'm into a lot of hardcore and punk, the mentioning of the term "hardcore" around people makes most cringe from ignorance and exploitation of the term. also a lot of stupid young kids, who aren't even what the music is all about, act violent at shows or destroy property and give us all a bad name.  i think Greg Graffin from Bad Religion said it best: "punk is about being human."

I just finished a documentary for my film class called "Moving Underground: The Study of Local Music" and when I asked one indie studio owner "What Style of Music is the most popular right now?"  I love the his answer was "Fake Hardcore"

Yeah Chopper I know what you mean. What p**ses me off people miss the point of punk like you stated. As I stated I listen to alot of Bikini Kill. First thing is I catch alot of flack because their "girls". Guess girls can't rock. Some of their songs Like "Rebel Girl" I get laughed at cause its a "chick" song. Missing the entire point. I had to defend alot of times that their alot of good punk/hardcore girl bands.

No argument there. It's undisputed that without Kraftwerk we wouldnt have alot of the music we have today. Tanzmusic is one of my favs of the early tracks.

I had Monsters Of Rock in the car for a few days ('80s hair metal).  Today I stuck in Dokken's greatest hits.  I've been listenting to a lot of amateur musicians on the web at the guitar players' site I go to.  Some good, some make you cringe.  Also listening to the CD for Troy Stetina's Metal Lead Guitar Vol. 2.  That's some awesome guitar playing.

lol! oh my god Rich i can't believe people have given you s**t for being into woman-influenced punk. i thought it was PC to dig that stuff in this age. well i guess it all depends on who you talk to. you should check out the english punk band Crass, they had a lot of great female artists in them who did a lot of poetry, artwork, music, and lyrics for the band.  i've always had a deep respect for women punkers.

is this something you made personally Saintmort? if so i would love to get a copy. yeah that's hilarious, there's a ton of glam-core bands. but that's fine, real hardcore will always kill that BS. hardcore is not about having nice hair, or wearing cool fashionable clothes, or b***hing about your girlfriend. if people want to listen to hardcore that are real they should check out bands like: blood for blood, champion, death before dishonor, sick of it all, Fugazi...

it was the typical nerd move

Can't write a paper but I can video edit

So I made a deal with my music professor that I could make a documentary instead of a 10 page paper

If you want a copy I can send it to you but it's gonna be crappy quality and you'd be better off watching it on your computer as opposed to DVD

I just added the new System Of A Down album Mesmerize to my collection today.  Friggin awesome album.  SOAD is rocking it like they used to - strange and hard.

It'll be in stores on the 17th.

I've been listening to Big Head Todd and the Monsters, "Live at the Fillmore."

The song 'Dirty Juice' in particular is worth the time.  Check it out if you haven't heard it.

s.o.a.d
