Johnny Cashpoint's AAD is well worth a listen or several.

i second this movement. it's his best aad.

Lunkhead's cover of Devo's "Beautiful World"


Awesome.

Had lost the Fight Club soundtrack long ago to theft, and now I've gotten another copy. And it is amazing. Absolutely incredible. I wish I could make music like this.

so far, the two most addictive songfight songs ... the ones that get me right excited aLWAYS are starfinger's more than soup (thanks to Jack who touts this tune constantly!! ...and no wonder why!) and Frontalot's romantic cheapskate which is deadly good.

Don't get me wrong, there's tons of real good and even great sf tunes...but these two STICK in my mind. I don't know why....

peter gabriel's "up" - recent (2002) album.
for some reason the last time i listened to this i wasn't into it. right now i'm really digging it. dark stuff but also groovy and catchy. why didn't i get into this before?

ps allmusic.com has something to say on this topic:

"This is not an accessible record, nor is it easy to warm up to, which means that many may dismiss it upon a single listen or two, never giving it the time it demands in order to be understood"

I'm interested to hear this, because just yesterday I was looking at my copy of the Up CD on my shelf, saying to myself, "Man, what a waste - I bet I listened to that maybe twice."
I'll put it on tonight and see if it sits any better. I remember being pretty disappointed at the time. But here's hoping!

Hey! I just found out how to get you ALL to experience my musical hero: Howe Gelb. And here it is!

Lightning Bolt. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.

Have you seen any footage of their live shows? It's insanely cool.

Yeah, their drummer is inSANE.

the idiot kings - "less of you"

this song is really cool. it sounds sooo much like the cure, a band that i don't really like, but it kicks ass. if every last member of the cure suddenly died, you should replace them.

The Rakes' album, 'Capture/Release' and the Artic Monkeys - 'Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' - two fantastic, fantastic records.

bloc party - silent alarm dance rock
download - i've gotten tired of this, too. if you haven't heard them already, the song "banquet" is a good one to check out.

it's an amazing song...


do you hang out at great scott, too?

i've never even heard of it. what is great scott?

so i was just listening to c layne's fantastic song "apathy is invincibility" and was going to suggest that everyone listen to it but it seems to be missing.

Nouveau Vague - excellent if you are as old as I am and like listening to a lot of late 70s to mid 80s remakes in bossa nova, salsa styles with a sultry french female. Nothing like listening to DKs "Too Drunk to Fuck" sung by a beautiful french woman like she's asking you in her best come back to bed voice. New Order's "Love Will Tear Us Apart", or the awesome rendition of "Making Plans for Nigel". A must have.

Song Fight is slowly ruining me as far as listening to pop music. There's just no point—it's not as creative. ITunes is giving me a steady mix of Deshead (High Enough), Comfort (SNO), 40 Second Songs (Snowfort—my favourite SF ever), Black Bottle (Fat and Happy), Boltoph (Courage) and on and on and on. New songs added every week.

I'd heard the DKs cover on the radio and thought it was great - I didn't know there was a whole album like that.

I just listened to some snippets on the Amazon website - I think I gotta go and find that record - yes, the Making Plans for Nigel sounds great!

(BTW: don't you mean Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart"?)

I'd always written Loudon Wainwright III off as being too goofy and whatnot, but I just picked up Album III, and it is incredible. It's funny and light, but it hits hard when it needs to. The song "Red Guitar" is just fantastic.

It's got to be better than hearing me and Albatross sing that at a karaeoke bar
