Music! What are you listening to now?

[Cobblestoned]

Am I wrong for being disturbed by this?

It reminds me of the "(Inspector) George Gently" episode I had just watched yesterday called "Gently with the Innocents".

I don't care. Just listen, or not.
I didn't even watch the video because it looked like boring stuff.

No prob, wo/man.

A lot of times I'm not sure the musicians are in sync with the video director. The music can be great, but the video is something else.

I think it's all subject to personal interpretation, in music sometimes no visuals are needed.

I just heard one of their songs. I'm not impressed. And that's coming from someone who likes all kinds of genres, synthpop, indie & alternative rock included.

Would be curious to know which song you listened to, their latest stuff sounds like it will be very synth, disco orientated which is a huge change from previous stuff. James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem having a big influence. It is already splitting the Fire fans.

I would be very surprised if you haven't heard some of their earlier stuff from their brilliant album Funeral. I had heard 2/3 of their songs before I even knew who they were.

Rebellion(lies), Power out, Neighborhood No 1(Tunnels), Wake Up

Oh, just the whole album really.

Also Arcade Fire are a better live act.

 

[DominicDecoco]

ChewbaccaD hasn't got a clue.

Arcade are obviously a brilliant band.
Doesn't get any better than Regine's vocals on 'Sprawl II'.

Reflector has slowly grown on me but I'm a bit uneasy about the whole funky, disco, danceable approach they seem to have on the new stuff. I'll probably end up loving it anyway, though.

Also the Junip song that was linked to is exellent.

.. And so is this one. A bit of an oldie but still incredible.

I haven't clinched with their new stuff at all they released just recently. They have simply beomce too wierd. 'Mystery Disease' and 'Demon Days' are quite good, though.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Arcade Fire sucks so badly, they don't make adjectives to describe it. You might as well listen to fu*king Kenny G.

Bands like Traam from Brighton might just save us from the suck that is the hipster brand of monkey diarrhea "played" by over affected drama queens like Arcade Fire and of Montreal.

If I don't have a clue, let me never have a clue because I'll punch a motherfu*ker like Win Butler in the face for playing weak a$$ed hipster bullsh!t, and then make him listen to dinosaur jr until his ears bleed or he agrees to quit putting out sh!tty music.

Deal with it, and listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9-oITGCLvE

I mean, I tried to listen to Arcade Fire with an open mind because their name is kinda' okay. So I watched them on SNL a couple of weeks ago. I made it through about half the song, right up until that other ugly dude who sings, the one in the dress with the high pitched voice...Regine I think his name is...anyway, this Regine dude starts singing in this mirrored booth thing, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I threw up thick green bile like a fu*king llama on the TV hoping that would drown out the theme to he11 they were playing. It didn't help, but finally my eyes started bleeding so I couldn't see it anymore, and then my bile finally shorted out the TV, so I was spared any more agony and pain.

Iggy Pop is rolling over his fu*king grave because of music like that, and he isn't even fu*king dead. I know, I've got pictures of him from this summer.

Each to his own tastes.

So how 'bout a little zydeco!

I love me some zydeco. No issue there.

About 3 and a half minutes in, this song starts to kick so much a$$, they're putting it on PPV in place of Ultimate Fighting.

Yawn.. If only this came out as funny as you thought it would...


Pretty good song you linked to. Quite liked it. The TRAAMS one that is.

 

[hrotha]

of Montreal are very hit or miss for me but this is a masterpiece. Every single line of the lyrics is brilliant.

Anyway, currently listening to Phil Ochs.

One must ask one self - can this music be danced to on ice? (Naturally I'm referring to ice dancing.)

It would be difficult, but I think it could be done on ice. (Lots of difficult footwork involved here.)

So, who here wants to be the girl, and who here wants to be the guy? (I personally don't care either way.)

Ooooohhhhh, I really wish 12 year old internet trolls hadn't worn-out "Yawn" like 6 years ago. It really would have given more punch if you weren't using such a lame retort. Sorry for your loss. And doubly sorry for any progeny you may sire, as sh!tty music taste shouldn't be passed to another generation. Dang.

Here's another worn-out, lame retort for you.

I always thought Olivia Tremor Control were the best of the Elephant Six bands, though Neutral Milk Hotel got all the love back then, and now Of Montreal get it. Most of the Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer? album was great, but they're very prolific and there's an awful lot of stuff that could have been trimmed on most of their records. And if I want something relentlessly over-quirky from a really prolific band, I'm more likely to reach for some Deerhoof.

Right now, however it's some MPB from Novos Baianos. The whole Acabou Chorare album is a masterpiece.

Well, at least you're self-actualized...

After that horrendous crash I had last week (I exaggerate, of course, my bike actually took the worst of it), I'm back on the saddle again. Had a very nice ride today.

PS - Do any of you riders say hello to your fellow riders?

I always say hello, and I especially say hello to the dog walkers. (Obviously I'm not timing myself, and, I'm a huge dog lover. I feel so bad for not hauling enough treats for all those doggies.)

By chance I found out this little cute song by Perota Chingo.

It sounds amazing, also great lyrics. Beautiful song.
