OT: Music

[Chopper]

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.

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

[Chopper]

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!

[BeyondTheGrave]

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 :)

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.

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...

[Vermin Boy]

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
