The Song Fight Bulletin Board

For the past few years I've seen the name shellac associated with other music that I like. Don't know much about them, but I just downloaded a few albums and THEY'RE GREAT! I'm having a hard time finding anything new (or old) that I like. Ever Since the melvins have teamed up with the band Big Business, their album "here comes the waterworks" hasn't really left my trucks cd player. it's pretty tasty.

oh, and as far as cake goes... comfort eagle definitely. Just because of "arco arena" and the title track "comfort eagle."

Shellac is one of Steve Albini's bands, right? I've heard a few of their songs and thought they were great, but I have a hard time tracking their albums down. The art is all hand-pressed, which I imagine makes mass-production difficult.

Love Shellac. It may never be main stream, but the rhythm riffs are groovin'. Kind of a guitar players kind of thing, I'm guessing.

Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water

Bass player for Yes' first solo album from back in the 70's. Found it at a flea market for $1. and it's one of the best albums i've ever heard... 5 songs, all incredibly epic.

Power Rangers is a personal favourite and encouraged me to dig out the movie and watch it.

I bought it, and I think it's safe to say I enjoy it even more than clumsy. I highly recommend this cd to all reading.

Hoblit and BLT had some babies, with uncles Phil Redmon and Jute Gyte along for visits. They called their band the Whore Moans. Unrelated, the new Neko Case is perty tasty.

Yeah, very unrelated, nutward boy.

The Spinto Band's "So Kind, Stacy" just came up on Pandora. How sweet

SO it's actually a concert on the TV - But Damn Christina Aguilera is good at what she does!

A c.layne marathon - this guy did a bunch of SF stuff, but I don't think he's around much these days. His albums "Shark Week" and "a feast of splinters" are incredible.
Then again, if you are ever wondering just what I am listening to, here it is.

Last week I had The Hazards of Love, the new album by The Decemberists, on repeat in my car. It's dense enough to require repeated listens, but aside from a few standout tracks (the closing number, for instance, is amazing), the whole thing has left me a bit underwhelmed. It's practically a full-out rock opera, but I spent most of it feeling nostalgic for "The Island," a twelve-minute four-song suite from their last album.

That makes this the first Decemberists album I've ever felt this lukewarm about. Ah well.

The Veils - Sun Gangs
SKOLD Vs. KMFDM

Figure 8 - Ghost Mice

NEVERRRRR HIT THA BRAAAYYYYKKKEEESSSS

iSimpatico! - Velocity Girl
and "100,000 Fireflies" by The Magnetic Fields, that's a lovely song.

Still not got over my 90's infatuation yet. hmmm....

Abattoir Blues/Lyre Of Orpheus - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

That's a great double album. Each side is great in its own way.

Molotov covering The Misfits' I Turned Into A Martian

Cool, I like that.

Jonathon Coulton- RE: Your Brains

Why is this song so clever and catchy?

Because it deftly combines five factors:

1.) Office humor that "everyone" can relate to
2.) Zombies (which have become something of a meme unto themselves these last couple of years... bonus!)
3.) Catchy Melody
4.) Technical profiency
5.) Genuine humor

Sparks - Kimono My House
