Battles - Mirrored

Um. Relentlessly good. Great. Amazing.

Mr. Kellis is correct: The new Dinosaur Jr album is most excellent.

Helmet: Strap it On, Betty, and Aftertaste.

*ahem* if you want to be assaulted by gigantic, awesomely heavy riffage and brutal beauty, listen to these albums. If not, fuckin listen to them anyway. There, I gave you no options. You have to listen to these albums now. How d'ya like *that*, bitch?

Page Hamilton is God.

Add Monochrome to that A-List of Helmet albums... listening to it for the first time right now, and while it has exactly Page Hamilton to do with old-school Helmet, it's pretty fucking fantastic so far. Some of the heaviest Helmet ever, yet has a few gentle, weirdly beautiful moments... will be on constant rotation in the car for at least a few weeks, I think.

Couple of years old, but Short Music for Short People by 101 bands playing 30 second songs jumped out today. Kind of Song Fight-y, even the rare stinkers go by so quickly it's a blast. Mostly punk, power pop and splashes of metal.

EDIT - Check out the band list http://www.amazon.com/Short-Music-Peopl ... 176&sr=1-1

I love that CD. I play it whenever I'm in one of my impatient short attention span moods. 1 minute punk song kick ass.

oh yeah, that Battles album is something. it and Apparat's album are linked to me because I added them to the station at about the same time. damn, I have to go in tomorrow and do my CMJ charts. anyway, I was just listening to Jarvis Cocker's solo debut, and it's pretty good. I only just now found out he's 43/44 years old. I didn't know that at all. surprising.

I am being subjected to revamped suicide seventies songs at the airport. If only they had a DJ for this..."On the off chance your traveling situation isn't already crappy, here's Air Supply's 'I can't live If living is without you' sung by Mariah Carey. Stay tuned for a medley of Carly Simon..."

Reaching for the King Missile. Ahhhhhhh...smile

The song was actually by Badfinger - later recorded by Harry Nilsson, then subsequently by the abovementioned

Badfinger's recording of the song, which is more brusque than its successors' versions, languished as an obscure album track until it was noticed a year later by Harry Nilsson. In an ironic twist to the lyrics, both composers later committed suicide.

Cool. Thanks for the update. Nilsson's "Breaking my heart" always made me smile. When it appeared on the sound track to "Breakfast on Pluto" it surprised me to hear it again after so many years.

I played Nilsson's Without You on my "saddest songs ever" show.

right now I'm listening to Maserati's new album, Invetions for the New Season. it's damn good. check it out if you like tortoise, or good music otherwise.

Joss Stone on the early morning news show. She's easy on the eyes, but that's about all.

Right now, Gallows, Orchestra of Wolves. DAKKA-dakka-DAKKA-KlAnGgGgGh! It's good.

Also the new White Stripes album is pretty damn fine. Especially digging the Zepplin-guitar-versus-mariachi-trumpet-duel that is 'Conquest'.

I so metal this week!

I've never tried tortoise, but being a reptile, I suppose it is similar to crocodile - which tastes like fish-flavoured chicken.

I concur. Icky Thump is a great album.

I'm also thoroughly enjoying The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Is Is".

The new Neurosis is great. Like really great. All 3 metalheads on this board would do right by themselves to listen to it.

I'm in that funk where I don't like anything right now. Nothing seems to be grabbing me. The only thing I'm into right now is local bands with realness and SF. Don't get me wrong, the old favs are still awesome, but the new shit just isn't moving me.
Link me to something please. My vein would be in the funky punky chunky monkey crunky spunky gunky vein. Any ideas?
