music thread: what things have you been listening to lately

[aura]

oh MAN the New Year's show a few months ago was KILLER! Huge fireworks battle right before we played. Pulling Teeth were fucking awesome too.

i wish i had gone to that show instead of the one i went to. new years was terrible for me.

 

[Josh Seipp]

I'm sure we'll be back down soon, it's one of our favorite places to play and we have gotten a really good response from Tampa folks.

 

[Josh Seipp]

PS our New Years Day sucked. Our van completely died in the middle of nowhere in Georgia and we had to rent a Uhaul and just up and went home. I sat in the cargo hold for most of the drive.

oh damn.

i'm hoping to be out of FL sometime this summer (my current lease runs out in june), so i may have to wait and catch a show elsewhere.

 

[Josh Seipp]

Where are you moving to? Any idea?

 

[aura]

pretty sure its gonna be boston.

the new Bloodbath EP reminds me of Monstrosity a little.

also, hipsterisms aside, Burial - Untrue was probably my favorite album of last year.

I can seriously play it all the way through ten times in a row without getting sick of it.
I like it a lot more than the first album.

the new Murder By Death has been in heavy rotation too.

does anyone know if the rest of their albums are this good and in the same vein?

 

[azal]

also I'm listening to a lot of Obliveon, they were soooo underrated.

I bet Simon likes them at least a little.

"who will survive..." is great. i haven't listened to it in a while, but i don't remember liking "in bocca al lupo" as much. i thought the pacing was weird and that the singer was doing his "johnny cash vocals" too much.

i guess he has a thing for imitating his favorite vocalists. he tries to sound like nick cave on a few songs on the new album.

 

[azal]

he kinda sounds like the bastard son of johnny cash and danzig, pretty awesome imo.

i hung out with them briefly after a show a few months ago and got to hear a story about their old merch guy threw another merch guy through a window at the orpheum in the ybor city part of tampa. some ridiculous drunken argument started the fight, i believe.

long before i heard this story, i had been wondering why one of the windows was inexplicably replaced with a large piece of plywood.

new testament leaked

 

[FrostGiant]

The New Testament has been around for a long time already.

 

[minxnim]

i like camera obscura is that ok?

 

[FrostGiant]

As long as you don't start rocking some NKOTB.

 

[minxnim]

lol

I like Camera Obscura albums but I saw them at the docks for free over the summer and they were kind of boring.

also, there were shitloads of termites flying round and getting stuck in everyone's hair.

 

[Ecto]

miracle here, a thread concerning music.
