I think we should discuss our musical intrests, if any. Talk or list albums you have bought, bands you like, concerts, ect. Could be kind of intresting to see.

I'll try to start...
Over here the Arctic Monkeys CD just came out and I have been very impressed. They are coming to Chicago, but the show is already sold out. I understand they are HUGE in England, but I don't know if they are going to catch on in the United States.

New Jack Johnson CD is pretty good. A nice CD to chill to and relax. Luallaby is my favorite song on the CD. It's a sold pick up.

and I am waiting for the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's CD. I like waht I have heard thus far off it.

also, seing coldplay at the end of march.

alright, anybody else?

My singer got that the other week and I think she was going to see him in Manchester last friday. I'm sure I'll get a copy of it off her sometime.

I'm been in a Zappa mood this weekend, mainly listening to Sheik Yerbouti and Joe's Garage. Great stuff :D

I've got Peter Gabriel's OVO on now and woke up to Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk.

I'm also trying to get a fair amount of stuff written for the band I'm in. We're aiming to have a couple of CDs done in the next few months so we're ploughing through the writing. We usually get about 2 songs written and recorded in a day. Stylistically our stuff is inspired by lots of people; Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Eddi Reader, etc.

One of my favorite recent purchases is the recently released album of Coltrane and Thelonius Sphere Monk at Carnegie hall. On their other joint album, I felt that Coltrane's unpredictible solos never really found Monk's insane chord progressions. In this recording they seem to have more chemistry, and the result is some real instrumental fireworks.

Having lived in Austin, Texas, I became obsessed with the local music scene and tradition. One song from that tradition that Spurs fans may/may not appreciate is London Homesick Blues by Jerry Jeff Walker/Gary P. Nunn.

And I also like a newer album out of the Austin area called Love Songs: For and Against by Guy Forsyth. It features a single called "Long Long Time" that encapsulates American post-modernity about as well as I could imagine.

I also really like a Cymande album that I bought recently. Seu Jorge's latest is quality as well.

I love John Coltrane -- will get the Monk/Coltrane album soon -- like Coltrane's weider stuff like 'Ascension' and 'Stellar Regions'

I like a lot of weird techno like Prefuse 73 and Aphex Twin.

Lately I been listening a lot to The Clientele -- from London, not sure how big they are in the UK, Super Fury Animals, Broken Social Scene and Beck...

unless and until The Clash is included, this league is no better than a world cup without brazil.

The Clash and The Smiths and New Order and Belle and Sebastian for that matter -- Rod Stewart should be imprisoned in Hanoi for three years

for me..... i am into the alternative scene.. when it was really big.. like mid 90s... q101 was big.. the radio station that is.. celtic knows waht im talking about...

such bands like the above are : 311, bush, wallflowers (whatever happened to them? they were a 1 album wonder!), everclear, foo fighters, garbage, goldfinger, old school green day, offspring, radiohead, rhcp... etc..

current bands that i like now are : the killers, franz ferdinand, hot hot heat, idlewild, the sounds, etc.

i am very passionate about 80s music.. like the electronica rock stuff.. like depeche mode, smiths, the cure,

Queens Of The Stone Age - 'Songs for the deaf'

great cd

[Malkamus]

just got by hook and crook three songs off Morrissey's new album 'Ringleader of the Tormentors' and its pretty good -- I thought I'd never say this about anyone but moving to Los Angeles has done the Moz some good...

[metropolis2k]

Peter Gabriel - Melt

Fantastic album! Games Without Frontiers on the new DVD is excellent. It's also quite a novel idea taking away the drummer's cymbals and making him play the whole album without them :D

cool, i've seen one of his live dvds at friend's house, but don't think it was that one.

all the old genesis albums with gabriel on them are worth a listen too.

[metropolis2k]

He's got three...

Secret World Live (from 1994)
Growing Up Live (2003)
Still Growing Up (2005)

Secret World has the two stages they move between and looks a bit dated now. Growing Up Live is my favourite (it's on a round stage). Still Growing Up is a continuation of the last one and just has some different tracks and venues - that's the one with Games Without Frontiers.

Oh dear, a music thread.

Time for me to be killed by those NME readers and followers.

I like RnB, Hip Hop, Rock and some country. Yes, i know.. a real weird mix.

Stuff from Stevie Wonder, Al Green and Marvin Gaye to Lil Bow Wow and Chris Brown, with Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre and Pharrell Williams in between somewhere.

I like Kiss, Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses. I like Lonestar and some Willie Nelson/Garth Brooks type stuff, and my housemate has a CD by Hayseed Dixie which i like. It has country covers of 'Walk This Way' by Run DMC and Aerosmith, and 'I Believe in a thing called Love' by The Darkness.

However, i tend not to like bands that start with 'The'.

The White Stripes, The The, The Who (although some songs are good), The Jam (same as before), The Music, The Darkness.

More for the newer bands who use 'The', prententious shite. I think. But there we go, what do i know.. i like Bow Wow :)

I've got a couple of their tracks. Pretty amusing!

Not quite as good as Paul Anka's latest CD though - Rock Swings. :D

btw everyone... David Gilmour - On An Island is a fantastic album! :eek:

The ultimate rap turned country cover is still THE Gourds doing "Gin and Juice".

Treat yourself to it if you haven't already. Pure genius.
