saintscottofthenortham Posted 16 July, 2010 Posted 16 July, 2010 Just proves we all have different tastes! HaHa! Tis' the beauty of music. To fully appreciate it you would be better hearing the bands previous stuff, because the album I have mentioned is one of stripped back acoustic versions of their previous material along with a few extra tracks. Personally i love it, and it is selling very, very, very well... So i'm not alone.

He loves them, I'm ambivalent but for the sake of the debate decided I hated them lol We never did agree on anything other than we disagreed but also more importantly that it really was, like most things, a matter of personal choice/taste. So enjoy away, I'm about ( though as it is 2am via headphones!) to listen to The Ramones !
Saint_Jonny Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Avenged Sevenfold - Buried Alive. I need the new album in my life NOW!
SuperMikey Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Two Door Cinema Club's album is brilliant, the hype is well deserved. Today has been a day of commuting, so i've had some old school Biffy Clyro (Scary Mary era), old school Phoenix [unitled era), old school Rammstein (Herzeleid era) and old school RHCP (Mother's Milk era) on my iPod on the trains today. It's been rather bloody brilliant.
Ludwig Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 Saw Two Door Cinema Club live the other week. I'm pretty sure they played the same song three times. Pathetically mediocre.
Redbul Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 I can't stop playing Oh My God Charlie Darwin by Low Anthem....Champion Angel is my song of the moment.
Hamilton Saint Posted 22 July, 2010 Posted 22 July, 2010 The First of the Singer Songwriters (1924-1946) by Hoagy Carmichael. This is a four-disc set on the JSP label, which focuses on releasing high-quality, remastered collections of jazz, blues, and pop from the 1920s-1940s. This set consists of 101 tracks. It's not just Hoagy Carmichael versions of his own songs, but lots of interesting interpretations of his material recorded back in the pre-WWII years. Hoagy Carmichael was a great songwriter: some of his classics include: Stardust, Georgia on my Mind, Rockin' Chair, Up a Lazy River, In the Still of the Night, The Nearness of You, Heart and Soul, I Get Along Without You Very Well, and Hong Kong Blues. As well as being a composer, he was a pianist, actor and band leader. He appeared in 14 films, often singing one or more of his own songs. A couple of his notable films: To Have and Have Not and The Best Years of our Lives. In am amusing quote, Carmichael once decribed his screen persona thusly: "the hound-dog-faced old musical philosopher noodling on the honky-tonk piano, saying to a tart with a heart of gold: 'He'll be back, honey. He's all man'." One of the finest contributors to what has been dubbed "the great American songbook".

I will check this chappie out......meanwhile I will carry on listening to the best of ELO - through my posh Denon headphones whilst I am working.

RonManager Posted 24 July, 2010 Posted 24 July, 2010 Lady GaGa - the fame monster Not half bad as it goes.
SuperMikey Posted 25 July, 2010 Posted 25 July, 2010 Slayer - Decade of Aggression Honestly, one of the best live albums i've ever heard. Next time they play in the UK, i'm getting tickets as soon as they come out!
LVSaint Posted 26 July, 2010 Posted 26 July, 2010 Halfway through Arcade Fire's new album The Suburbs. Not sure what to make of it. Seem to have lost much of the raw energy and emotion of their first two excellent albums (esp. the first). More mature and sensible bit not as fun.
saint_bert Posted 29 July, 2010 Posted 29 July, 2010 (edited) Avenged Sevenfolds new album- Couple of listens through and its growing on me. Edited 29 July, 2010 by saint_bert its seven not sevon
RonManager Posted 29 July, 2010 Posted 29 July, 2010 Night Mail by WH Auden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmq6mFAEqNQ Surreal
SuperMikey Posted 3 August, 2010 Posted 3 August, 2010 Arcade Fire - The Suburbs On my third listen, i'm in love with it. Sprawl I and II are genius.
Ponty Posted 4 August, 2010 Posted 4 August, 2010 Buckcherry - All Night Long. 18 tracks, including 7 accoustic songs. Good stuff.
Rory Posted 4 August, 2010 Posted 4 August, 2010 Best Coast - Crazy For You Yes, yes, yes... Got this today, will listen to it after The Suburbs (which I predict to be mediocre). Is it any good? Love Boyfriend (lol).
saintscottofthenortham Posted 5 August, 2010 Posted 5 August, 2010 The Antlers - 'Hospice' (2009) A very slow but beautifully written album. The singer Peter Silberman put himself into Social isolation for near on two years (?) whilst he wrote the album. Indie/folk/alternative... if ya like that sort of thing have a listen. It was one of my favourite albums last year and have found myself back on it. Highlight track - 'Kettering'
harvey Posted 5 August, 2010 Posted 5 August, 2010 I heard a song on the radio today called 'Slow', by a female artist called 'Rumer'.............a really good laid back song, and her voice has a touch of the Karen Carpenters about it.
Julian H. Cope Posted 7 August, 2010 Author Posted 7 August, 2010 Julian Cope - 'Rite'. All hail the Arch Drude!! I am listening to Holy F*ck - Latin.
the stain Posted 7 August, 2010 Posted 7 August, 2010 All hail the Arch Drude!! I am listening to Holy F*ck - Latin. I love you.
St Landrew Posted 8 August, 2010 Posted 8 August, 2010 I heard a song on the radio today called 'Slow', by a female artist called 'Rumer'.............a really good laid back song, and her voice has a touch of the Karen Carpenters about it. You know what, that ain't bad at all..? I've been listening to my old friends XTC, and The Last Balloon. Sublime.
Block 5 Posted 8 August, 2010 Posted 8 August, 2010 All hail the Arch Drude!! I am listening to Holy F*ck - Latin. I love 'In Search of Ancient Astronomies'. 25 minutes of electro-primal trippiness.
Dog Posted 8 August, 2010 Posted 8 August, 2010 Chargrilled Lips ~ Hank Jeffersson and his green spacehopper. Brilliant album, 10/10
Block 5 Posted 8 August, 2010 Posted 8 August, 2010 Chargrilled Lips ~ Hank Jeffersson and his green spacehopper. Brilliant album, 10/10 Agreed. Do you have the limited edition green vinyl?
Redbul Posted 8 August, 2010 Posted 8 August, 2010 I have had Orb and A huge ever growing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the ultraworld on today as I was changing the taps in the kitchen. Basically been listening to Orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld while doing chores.
LVSaint Posted 9 August, 2010 Posted 9 August, 2010 I have had Orb and A huge ever growing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the ultraworld on today as I was changing the taps in the kitchen. Basically been listening to Orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld while doing chores. Sound choice for any job. However, did the dripping water at the end of Spanish Castles make you think you'd sprung a leak?
