Posted May 31, 2010 FYI, gents, 6Music are doing a documentary today at 3 on the life of John Bonham, drummer in Led Zep. Should be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2010 That said, it took Fiona Apple 4 years to truly click for me (i.e beyond passing "like") and now she's been on repeat for the last week non-stop. 7 years for me. finally "clicked" with her last month. wonderful artist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 1, 2010 Sleigh Bells - Treats I was reading about them in the paper, apparently they formed after one was the waiter for the other in a restaurant in New York. Most cool. Anyway, just got round to listening to the album at last. Fucking wicked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 1, 2010 Sleigh Bells - Treats That album art reminds me of 'Music Has The Right..''s artwork.... Congratulations with Veckatimest Chair So today I borrowed these from the library: and... £1 for both of them, my library dropped it's rental prices today Fancied a Metallica album...did I choose one of the good ones? :P I just know I liked 'For Whom The Bell Tolls'. Glad I found that Kraftwerk CD as well, that would've been £12 or to buy =/. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2010 If anyone's into the realms of baroque pop, and would like to add a few songs that you might know of that employ the aural pleasures of the Harpsichord, then please feel free to do so into this playlist. Grazie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2010 Does it have to be Harpsichord, or can it just be Baroque pop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2010 Yay! New In This Moment song released today. Shame it's only available on iTunes at the moment. Album is out in July apparently so I look forward to that. Warning: Contains heavy metal and screaming so Paj/Chair don't bother listening Not sure what to make of it. Sounds like they're going back to a similar style seen on the Beautiful Tragedy album, which is great, but doesn't quite get there in comparison to the whole of that album, which I love. I'll reserve judgement until the full album is released. And just something else I've been listening to because it's just so good: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Time for maths! Christina Hendricks + Broken Bells = Yay Also Scarfman I am in the process of listening to Sleigh Bells. Not much has hit me (although its pleasing overall) except Rill Rill which I enjoyed. Coincidentally. Edited June 2, 2010 by Ashley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2010 Steel Train have announced their wide array of new album options. One in particular looks interesting: Terrible Thrills Vol. 1 is a companion album to Steel Train that features each of the self-titled album’s twelve tracks reinterpreted, reimagined and remixed by some of the band’s favorite female artists. Including (in order of appearance): Scarlett Johansson Tegan and Sara Holly Miranda Deradoorian Alia Shawkat (her?) Amanda Palmer Elizabeth & the Catapult Charlotte Caffey & Astrid McDonald Anna Waronker Rachel Antonoff Some interesting choices. I wasn't aware Rachel Antonoff did anything other than fashion but I suppose having a brother in the band helps. So ten artists and 12 tracks. Wonder whose doubling up. As T&S are 2nd and the 2nd track is Turnpike Ghost I hope they're doing that at least. Curious to see what Alia Shawkat does too. I kind of want the "I Turn My Camera On" version as well, partially because of the Spoon reference :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2010 Listening to 'Ride The Lightning' and I likes it a lot....finally think I'm starting to get metal Or at least, the appeal of metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2010 I love that T&S are finally getting the recognition they deserve as THE stunners to turn to when you need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2010 HTDA has released a free 6-track EP. I'm listening to it now, and I'm liking what I hear that isn't the songs previously released (The Space In Between and A Drowning). Also, the name is far to metal sounding for what the music is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2010 I love that T&S are finally getting the recognition they deserve as THE stunners to turn to when you need it. I think Jack and the girls go back a long time :p They've always been well known/loved in certain circles but are starting to widen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2010 So is anyone here going to Rage Factor this weekend? I'm setting off on an 11 hour coach journey on Saturday night to get there. Lounge around London all day before the gig :p And then slumming it overnight at the coach station until 9am for an 11hour return journey :X Should be worth it though! Oh, and these guys are supporting. I think I'm looking forward to them almost as much as Rage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2010 Warning: Contains heavy metal and screaming so Paj/Chair don't bother listening I actually listened to it the other day, I didn't realised you posted that. :wink: In any case, it's not the sounds of "typical heavy metal" (however much of a misnomer that may be to people in the know) that put me off, it's the (to me) dull, heard-it-all-before execution I keep hearing in it (not all of it). I find no suggestion of actual aggression or power in most stuff I hear. A lot I can appreciate on a technical level, but that's personally not why I listen to music usually. My current favourite band is Sleigh Bells, who embody the concept of "FUCK! IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!" so more enjoyably to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 4, 2010 I don't have too much information, I'm sure the presenter on Radio 1 said the artist, album or track was called "absorbing" but I could be wrong. He also said the album was just released a few weeks ago. The song was a really catchy summer tune, with a acoustic guitar riff playing throughout the whole track. Any ideas? This is killing me!
