FUCK all the Mars Volta shows out here were sold out when I checked! I really need to see those dudes.

I'm listening to Swans all day. Swans rule.

tmv are gonna tour with system of a down...i dunno how i feel about that. there were enough mall brats at the show friday as it was...

 

[NAD]

Ah, that's right. I'll definitely go to that show, since I dig both bands.

Mallfagz be damned, I'm bigger than most of them anyhow.

Anyone heard This Empty Flow?? It's stunning. Very difficult to compare it to anything but I think GYBE, Ulver, Coil and other weird sound stuff fans would enjoy it. It's kind of synth-pop, darkwave, electronic, gothic music. Unique sound. If someone is interested I can post some samples.

The new Foo Fighters which I listened to , at my friend's , is nothing special (as usual).Eaten up in 10 listens at best. In the vein of the previous albums , so if you like this , rush

I have, only because I'm a Thergothon fanboy and ex-member of Thergothon play in TEF. I like that first album, and I don't care particularly if people laugh at me for it.

Pink Floyd anyone? Well, tey had their own thread already and will get another one soon when I think about it.

Heard some Yann Tiersen material? Clever mix of French popular music and soundtrack moods plus bits of Philip Glass-like minimalism - funny instruments layered and looped, naive but moving melody, some singing (mostly terrible) - the guy deserves all in all better than the neo-belle-époque middle-class hype his work on the horrid motion picture "Amélie" has elicited (some of his less inspired stuff anyway). I wouldn't listen to more than one album at a time though...

I really, really enjoy David Gilmour's first CD....

I went to see Farin Urlaub live on Thursday. I can hardly remember the last time I had so much fun. Everybody was dancing and jumping and singing along, and Farin obviously enjoyed himself a lot as well.

Farin is a genius. I recently got into his solo work (late May), and I already worship the "Endlich Urlaub" album - songs like "1000 Jahre schlechten Sex", "Am Strand", "Glücklich", "Lieber Staat" and "Wunderbar" are simply masterpieces. Needless to say, I envy you

"Dark Side of the Moon" is the best album of all time, not my favorite, but the best.

 

[lizard]

you know what, I might agree, if it wasn't for the existence of Wish You Were Here

 

[NAD]

I'd agree that Wish You Were Here is probably THE Pink Floyd album, with Animals being my personal favorite.

Dang, I haven't listened to Floyd in awhile.

Double dang, I need more Pink Floyd.

 

[lizard]

I can see the towering achievement that was Dark Side of the Moon; I mean, sooo ground breaking for its time sonically, and the use of effects so seemlessly....but to me Wish is thematically more together, it just flows so well.

I do need to get me Animals.

 

[NAD]

Yep, on both accounts.

Dark Side of the Moon is a bit overrated for me, but probably because I heard it So. Many. Times. while growing up. Until I discovered The Wall on my own, that was pretty much the only Pink Floyd I ever heard, and it probably took up 1/3 of the radio airtime on local rock stations. But overrated or not, it rules beyond belief.

[lizard]

anyone who does dig the Floyd needs to find Gilmour's first solo CD. very much of a piece, of course, with his singing, and his trademark solos; I think it came out around 77 or so, so it was very much done around the time of animals.

 

[Ellestin]

Strangely enough (for me) "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" seem to be their most influential albums, while I regard "Animals" and "Atom Heart Mother" as far more adventurous and brilliant on the whole. But I'm a "The Wall" freak just as well. Hell, I even enjoyed "The Division Bell", call me a traitor...

 

[NAD]

If I ever picked up David Gilmour solo albums before picking up those from Roger Waters, I would be a traitor just like Ellestin.

I've never heard Atom Heart Mother WTF.

 

[Krilons Resa]

My favs are Wish You Were Here and Meddle.

They all are downright <NAD> UNRULY!!! </NAD>

 

[Krilons Resa]

Anyone ever hear the band Birth Control? OMGWTZLOLZ AMAZING WTFZZ!!!

 

[lizard]

my ultimate problem with Waters is that HE NEVER FUCKING SHUTS UP.
