DevilDriver's S/T debut. Good stuff, if you're in the mood.

Totally digging "Let's Stay Friends" by Les Savy Fav. I'm not too hip, so these guys are new to me. It may not be the best album of the year but it might be my fave. Also: It makes me think of both Niveous and BLT at times, for reasons I'm not sure of.

Earlier this week I picked up a Dead Kennedys live CD called Mutiny On The Bay. It's pretty good.

I also finally got some more Elliott Smith stuff. Rose Parade is a great song.

And what else? Oh! Frank Zappa's "The Man From Utopia". Been looking for that one for a long time, and it's as good as I'd remembered it.

HEY! Me too. I never really heard of them, except I had one of their songs on a CMJ sampler. Then when I heard a song off of Let's Be Friends, I D/Ld the album. I love it.
As far as reminding you of me, maybe it's the Japanese video game style guitar playing, lol.

Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer
This is the heaviest, most intense music ever made. This album is to grindcore what Reign in Blood was to speed metal. A fucking masterpiece.

Melody Generator

Brother Machine

the pillows are pretty awesome. the drums at the beginning of "funny bunny" are begging to be sampled.

Been jamming a lot of UGK's Ridin' Dirty lately in mourning of the recently-deceased Pimp C.

EDIT: And two fucking seconds after I post this I found out Stockhausen just died. Awful.

I gave the same accolade to their follow-up, Phantom Limb. It's even better, check it out. Scott Hull is a genius.

Speaking of Scott Hull, I've been listening to Agoraphobic Nosebleed's Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope pretty much non-stop. And a lot of Sleep.

I've been listening to Dusty Fingers, a 15-CD/LP bootleg comp of soul and funk (chiefly for hip-hop sampling, but the full songs are present). One can acquire the volumes by a quick <a href="http://www.google.com/search?&q=site%3A ... >search</a>.

The New Pornographers - Challengers

It's kind of weird. I've done a total 180° on this album. The songs I liked on first listen I now find annoying, and the songs I found 'meh' have become some of my favorites.

I have Phantom Limb, and it is also really good, but I like Terrifyer better. It's like Anal Cunt, except if they didn't do stupid songs and had good production values

I think "Towering Flesh" is possibly the greatest song ever recorded.

Also, let's not forget about J.R. Hayes. Guy's got a set of lungs on him. "Microphone? I don't need no steenkin' microphone!"

I'd been refraining from posting about this but I just gotta. I just don't understand all this love for Pig Destroyer. I used to really like Prowler in the Yard, and still think it's a fine album, but it seems to me like everything beyond that has been a lessening of their sound, i.e. needlessly slower, less focused. I own Terrifyer, which I thought was pretty disappointing, but hadn't heard anything from Phantom Limb. I just watched a video for "Loathsome" on Youtube, and feel the same way I did about the stuff from Terrifyer.
This kind of thing is especially problematic since Scott Hull said he formed Pig Destroyer to bring back what "grindcore should be". "Loathsome", at least, has absolutely nothing to do with grindcore, sounding a lot more like repetitive groove-focused death metal. in my opinion it also sounds pretty watered-down. Certainly talk about "heaviest" is subjective but Terrifyer and what I've heard of Phantom Limb stand out in my mind as unfortunately UNheavy.

If I may make a suggestion for very very heavy music, I've always held Wormed to be a candidate for "heaviest".

Man, you are hard to please

As for 'Wormed', I was listening eagerly until the guy started belching. I fucking hate belch vocals.

jute gyte · Post by **jute gyte** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 11:21 pm

I don't think I'm so hard to please! But I'm sure I'm in the minority regarding Pig Destroyer. I can't really argue "belch vocal" preference, though I'll say that Wormed's vocals were the first of that ridiculously low variety that didn't bother me. I was probably too stunned by the music, which now I can't imagine without those vocals.

As for what I've been listening to lately:
Coil - Scatology
Death in June - The World That Summer
Steely Dan - Katy Lied
Whitehouse - Dedicated to Peter Kurten

I finally got round to buying Battles 'mirrored' last week. That is one awesome album. Made my head hurt a little trying to get a grasp on it at times, but in a good way.

Just found out Dan Fogelberg died. So I guess I'll be listening to all Fogelberg today, possibly longer. Tremendous influence on me, 'Leader of The Band' is one of the great songs of our time. RIP Dan.
