What the hell are you listening to?...2008 Edition - Page 6

Easy Mac · 06-17-2008, 07:31 PM

Listened to Evil Urges about 5 times now... I still can't grab an opinion on it. Its nowhere near Z, which is one of the top 5 albums of the past decade (The Streets-A Grand Don't Come for Free; and Franz Ferdinand's debut are also in there), but its interesting. I can't tell if they just said, fuck it, we're My Morning Jacket, people will give us the benefit of the doubt on it.

samifan24 · 06-17-2008, 07:32 PM

New Coldplay. It's good.

Young Drachma · 06-17-2008, 08:11 PM

Shearwater released Rook a few weeks ago and it's seriously the best album of the year to date. I just got it now and I'm astounded. I had no idea it would be THIS good. Nothing else like it, can't explain it. Just listen.

Here's a track called Rooks.

Kodos · 06-19-2008, 12:21 AM

I'm really enjoying Man Raze's new album. It's Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Paul Cook (Sex Pistols), and the drummer from Girl (Phil's old band). I think I actually like it better than the new Def Leppard album.

ISiddiqui · 06-19-2008, 07:51 AM

Of the three CDs I mentioned I got a few weeks ago, I'm really, really digging The Kills most of all. They just have an utterly captivating sound:

Argh... obviously I don't know how to embed, so:

I just listened, pretty cool. Are you in Chicago yet? I just saw that they'll be here this Tuesday.

Thanks Kodos... I will remember this act of kindness when the revolution comes

samifan24 · 06-24-2008, 04:11 PM

Just downloaded the new Girl Talk album, "Feed the Animals," which was released today online in a name your own price format. Interestingly enough, if you choose free, as I did (because I am unfamiliar with them and didn't know if I'd like them), the website asks you why and you must select from several different answer options.

If you don't know anything about Girl Talk, basically it's just one guy who samples from about 20 different artists/songs in each one of his tracks. It's really great stuff.

I paid a buck for it. I liked the last album a lot, but dont like his prior stuff. I havent' actually listened to this new one yet though , despite buying it a few days ago.

Easy Mac · 06-25-2008, 05:16 PM

You should have just paid $5 for Lossless audio

Night Ripper is one of favorite albums from the past decade. The latest hasn't really grabbed me yet, but I haven't listened to it enough to form an opinion.

Young Drachma · 06-26-2008, 10:47 AM

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets is still great.

So is Watershed by Opeth

Young Drachma · 06-26-2008, 11:07 AM

Hayes Carll - Trouble in Mind is the best country album this year that you'll never hear.

korme · 06-27-2008, 01:17 PM

DC, what do you know about M.I.A., if anything?

She's responsible for the song that is in the trailer for Pineapple Express, and I love that song ("Paper Planes").

Paper Planes is one of those songs that sneaks up on you, being way better than it sounded the first time I heard it.

She's of Sri Lankan descent, but was raised in England. This is her 2nd album. Her first, was called Araular is pretty all right, the best songs on that album were "Sunshowers" and "URAQT". It was clearly produced in her boyfriend's basement, because it was low-fi and not particular well produced. Junkyard music ftw.

This new album "Kala" is just as spastic obviously, but way better produced and far more catchy and EXTREMELY diverse. I think it's an album that you'll either love or absolutely hate. Check it out and decide what you think...

Young Drachma · 06-27-2008, 01:35 PM

I can't stop listening to this. It's Yoon Mi Rae (aka Tasha), the best rapper in Korea, hands down. She's half-American and was apparently born in Houston.

Fidatelo · 06-27-2008, 01:52 PM

I heard Paper Planes on thesixtyone a couple weeks back and immediately bumped it like crazy. Awesome tune, neat to see that it's getting some mainstream play.

samifan24 · 06-28-2008, 08:58 AM

Matthew Ryan vs. The Silver State Matthew Ryan's latest album. Highly recommended for fans of early Springsteen.

Easy Mac · 06-28-2008, 11:19 AM

FYI, The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely is only $5 at Amazon's mp3 store (along with Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool)

That's strange that you're seeing that error message even though you only use iTunes. There should just be a check box for "set iTunes as default player" to fix that.

korme · 06-29-2008, 11:26 AM

Yeah, I set iTunes as my default player every.time I open it... it's odd.

Rhapsody is celebrating the opening of its new MP3 store by giving away 100,000 free albums from now until July 4. You have to create an account and enter your credit card info to get your free album credit but can cancel the account immediately after downloading the album.

Easy Mac · 06-30-2008, 09:28 PM

Also, if you have multiple credit cards and a gmail account, you can sign for multiple free albums.

To do so, just put a period in a random place in your gmail name. It will treat you as a new customer. It only works once per credit card.

That being said, they're selection ranges from 1 to shit-tastic.

Young Drachma · 07-02-2008, 10:22 AM

She & Him - Volume One
Came out amidst little fanfare in March, but it sounds great. I stumbled into it today. It's Disney star Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. She could totally quit her day job if she wanted to. She's convincing, this project is excellent work and it's seriously a breezy, 60s inspired pop foray that's refreshing to hear.

Yes, good stuff indeed. Zooey Deschanel will probably be introduced as "that singer who acts" from now on after this.

By the way, there are several box sets available with a list price of $9.99 which are free using this promotion. The Doors box set of 90+ songs is one of them.

Ksyrup · 07-07-2008, 10:10 AM

Seeing who was in this pretty much convinced me to buy before I even heard the music, but after hearing the samples, I'll be downloading and paying a few bucks for this.

Bleu + Mike Viola = How Could This NOT Be Great?

THE MAJOR LABELS

Band Members:
Bleu
Ducky Carlisle
Mike Viola

Influences:
An adventurous mix of authentic 60's/70's AM radio. McCartney, Nilsson, XTC, 10CC etc...

DrAFTjunkie · 07-07-2008, 12:59 PM

Right now, I'm really digging the All for Nots out of Brooklyn. Not only are they an excellent band, but their youtube mockumentaries are fantastic. Check them out!!!

Young Drachma · 07-08-2008, 01:48 PM

Jean Grae teamed up with 9th Wonder, who produced stuff for underground hip-hop artists like Murs and was part of Little Brother, on an album called Jeanius. Album was supposed to be released 4 years ago, but got leaked on the web. But they've finally reworked it and released it this week on Talib Kweli's label.

Her flow is sick, his beats are on point as always. Maybe the best hip-hop album released this year.

kurtism · 07-08-2008, 09:33 PM

Oh great googily-moogily! New Matthew Sweet coming late August, new Ben Folds mid-September!

Ksyrup · 07-09-2008, 06:37 AM

Yeah, the Matthew Sweet has already leaked, but I've been too lazy to track it down. I'll listen to the Ben Folds, but he hasn't touched the awesomeness of RTS in some time, so I'm a bit burned out on him right now.

Young Drachma · 07-10-2008, 11:05 AM

The new Nas album is online now a week early on Last.FM. I hated it, but that doesn't mean anything.

Anyone heard anything about James Pants? I heard a couple songs, one awesome, one pretty good. Great name, at least.

Young Drachma · 07-14-2008, 09:00 AM

"Two Men With The Blues" by Wynton Marsalis and Willie Nelson is the truth. An excellent album.

Young Drachma · 07-15-2008, 11:05 AM

Portishead - Third is good. I wasn't really much of a Portishead fan, but...I hadn't really delved into all of their stuff and I did last night and love it, a lot.

clemsonfan · 07-15-2008, 11:18 AM

Lately I've been listening to:

Flight of the Conchords
Sondre Lerche- Faces Down

Young Drachma · 07-22-2008, 01:50 PM

We Brave Bee Stings and All by Thao with the Get Down Stay Down was released in January and I haven't heard the whole thing yet, but from what I've heard of them, I'm hooked and interested.

Here's a track by them called Feet Asleep.

Young Drachma · 07-22-2008, 02:23 PM

Dola --

The debut album from Jacksonville-based indie group Black Kids ~ Partie Traumatic is out and it's just as good as advertised. They're the real deal. Nothing earthshattering here in terms of uniqueness, but the real knock against them was whether they could make their shtick last an entire album. I feel like they've done that with one walkthrough of the album.

I'd never been a Jack White guy really... it was a song here or there that I liked... but I think something about his combo with Brendan Benson really brings out the best in both of them. This album is friggin' great.

I wholeheartedly disagree with you. I'm not going to shit on them like Pitchfork just for the hell of it, but the album rests somewhere between their review and the AV Club's. Somehow, most of the energy the band possessed on the EP is completely lost on this album. The 5 songs they transferred over are completely over produced now. Part of the charm was the catch calls and scruffiness of it all. The album just sounds like any other too-slick 80's revival. The only re-do that comes close to measuring up is I've Underestimated My Charm (Again). Hurricane Jane and Hit the Heartbreaks were torn to shit.

The only new song that stuck with me is the one you chose to highlight. Even then, you can almost feel the potential the chorus possesses, but they cut it too short and its too isolated from the rest of the track.

Plus, Youngblood over-enunciates everything. His pounding of "t" at the end of every line really took me out of it.

That being said, I'm still going to see them in ATL next month, but I'm now anticipating my Black Keys viewing more.

samifan24 · 07-23-2008, 08:10 PM

I've been listening to The Dark Knight soundtrack since I saw the film last weekend. It's a pretty good soundtrack.

I'll agree with the overproduced nature of it. But I thought it sounded good, because they were clearly going for an 80s sound and it seems to me that they executed that extremely well. I don't know how seriously I take their shtick, so I expected the LP to flop. I still say it holds up well, compared to my own expectations.

And I'd always anticipate The Black Keys more than these kids. Black Kids are just a novelty act.

Heh, it's kind of funny. While, I think Consolers is alright, I don't think it can compare to any White Stripes album. Different strokes for different folks

.

On that note, I've been listening to De Stijl by the White Stripes (which for some reason I didn't know) and alternating between them Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and The Kills' Midnight Boom.

Thanks for this. I didn't know Nate had a new band already. I was a big fan of The Format and will definitely check this out.

Young Drachma Dark Cloud Join Date: Apr 2001	Jean Grae teamed up with 9th Wonder, who produced stuff for underground hip-hop artists like Murs and was part of Little Brother, on an album called Jeanius. Album was supposed to be released 4 years ago, but got leaked on the web. But they've finally reworked it and released it this week on Talib Kweli's label. Her flow is sick, his beats are on point as always. Maybe the best hip-hop album released this year. Last edited by Young Drachma : 07-08-2008 at 02:12 PM.

Ksyrup This guy has posted so much, his fingers are about to fall off. Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: In Absentia	Yeah, the Matthew Sweet has already leaked, but I've been too lazy to track it down. I'll listen to the Ben Folds, but he hasn't touched the awesomeness of RTS in some time, so I'm a bit burned out on him right now. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

Young Drachma Dark Cloud Join Date: Apr 2001	We Brave Bee Stings and All by Thao with the Get Down Stay Down was released in January and I haven't heard the whole thing yet, but from what I've heard of them, I'm hooked and interested. Here's a track by them called Feet Asleep.

Young Drachma Dark Cloud Join Date: Apr 2001	Dola -- The debut album from Jacksonville-based indie group Black Kids ~ Partie Traumatic is out and it's just as good as advertised. They're the real deal. Nothing earthshattering here in terms of uniqueness, but the real knock against them was whether they could make their shtick last an entire album. I feel like they've done that with one walkthrough of the album.

It's a pretty good soundtrack. __________________ "You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball...and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time." -Jim Bouton
