chairdriver Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 For the love of christ! stop saying stunning! Apologetic and defensive etc. ------ I've just realised how surreally awesome it is that Tilda Swinton narrates Patrick Wolf's The Bachelor. Having an Oscar winner on his side. I'm not even hyperbolising when I say it's the best album of 2009 so far. Two Suns and The Bachelor - the king and queen of albums in 2009. I love that he's succeeded in saying "Fuck you" to the mainstream music business, by releasing it off his own music label. If I had been aware that he was taking donations to help fund it, I would have donated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 After spending too much time playing that Freezepop of Guitar Hero too much I decided to take the step and actually listen to some more songs from them. Over all I am really liking it and I´m not really that much into that sort of music. It has a bit of a hypnotic tune on their songs and their songs are very catchy.

Gizmo Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Annoyed! Muse tickets were sold out online by 8.55, which is useful since they were supposed to go on sale at 9.00. Managed to get a hold of 3 seated tickets over the phone, but who the fuck wants to sit at a Muse gig? I shall continue my efforts to secure some standing tickets regardless. How was your luck, spirited? Edited June 5, 2009 by Gizmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothicPlague Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Albums released in 2009 that I own; (i.e are on my itunes, and so have/can give a good listen of/idea of the quality within) Sounds Of The Universe - Depeche Mode Fight Like Apes And the Mystery Of The Golden Medallion - Fight Like Apes Actor - St.Vincent Dark Was The Night - Various Arists Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective The Crying Light - Antony & The Johnsons Approaching Normal - Blue October Grey Britain - Gallows Veckatimest - Grizzly Bear Around The Well - Iron & Wine A Woman A Man Walked By - PJ Harvey & John Parish Two Suns - Bat For Lashes Fever Ray - Fever Ray All I Ever Wanted - Kelly Clarkson The Fame - Lady GaGa It's Not Me, It's You - Lily Allen The High End Of Low - Marilyn Manson Jewellery - Micachu Years Of Refusal - Morissey Middle Cyclone - Neko Case Sunny Side Up - Paolo Nutini The Bachelor - Patrick Wolf I Feel Cream - Peaches Polly Scattergood - Polly Scattergood Fine Fascination - Red Light Company Junior - Royksopp The Eternal - Sonic Youth Abnormally Attracted To Sin - Tori Amos It's Blitz! - Yeah Yeah Yeahs Hannah Montana: The Movie (...) Red are ones I haven't listened to yet. Blue are ones I started but got bored and haven't continued since. Bolded are excellent albums everyone should pick up. A lot of those will probably end up bolded, but I haven't listened properly to them. (Like grizzy bear maybe) Can I suggest one album that you should listen to from this year. Grammatics self titled it is IMO a fantastic album and one you'll probably hear very little about although it has got some brilliant reviews. Even if you don't like them it can't be much worse than the Hannah Montana soundtrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 My favourite tracks at the moment happen to be: Rise against - Saviour Seether - Beer Deftones - Knife Party Hero of war is a good song, not amazingly good lyric wise, but its a powerful song, infact nearly all of rise against songs are powerful. They are brilliant to see live which adds to it all. I like littleboots song, my friend introduced me to her a while back, before she was out in the charts, I've never gotten round to downloading though, sigh.

Paj! Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Remember I cried blood when I found out Gaga was covering Don't Give Up by Peter Gabirlel and Kate Bush (shitly)? Just heard the new rapper-of-the-month song with her singing the chorus. I can't believe it. I don't think she could have ripped of M.I.A/Santogold anymore. It's ridiculous. This Wale character obviously wanted MIA and she said no, she'd rather not have to guest on shit songs, so he got Lady Fuckface to imitate MIA?!! I'm going to ram this rod in her.

Slaggis Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Sohodolls - Stripper. "Heeeey! Strippaaaaaaaar! I like your underwaaaaaar!" -- Then, just because I rediscovered how much I love this song to bits. Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles -- Christina Aguilera's new album will be a double disk of 23 songs and will be called Light & Darkness. The Light disk will be all future/electro sounding (la la Lady GaGa/Ladytron eg) while the Darkness disk will be a mixture of her usual soul/ballards.. First single is rumored to be called Mind Control and expect a leak in a few weeks of it. Album is out September. She has also covered Ladyhawkes My Delirium. Not that I'm massively bothered, unless the single is amazing. Edited June 6, 2009 by Slaggis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 If you were to make a mixtape CD of 10 songs that define what your music taste is, which would you choose? Mine: Glass - Bat For Lashes Hunter - Bjork In The Flowers - Animal Collective Citizen Of The Planet - Alanis Morissette Relief Next To Me - Tegan & Sara Breathing - Kate Bush You Don't Have To Be Afraid - Kaki King Angelene - PJ Harvey Cosmia (Y's Street Band EP version) - Joanna Newsom Precious Things (Live @ RAINN) - Tori Amos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 ^ Oh, that's an interesting one. I'll have to think about that. My taste is so varied that it'll be interesting to see what I come up with. I'll post what I get later on. ---------- Been listening to Mojo Pin by Jeff Buckley. So awesome. Love it. To be fair, apart from that an Hallelujah, I haven't exactly listen to much of the album Grace as they've sort of wrangled my hold. I'll check the rest out over the coming days but just love Mojo Pin. Really good song. Love it when the guitars get into it fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Not a list of favourite songs/artists, but songs a list that encompass genres/styles that I can't get enough of. Unfortunately the names like Sinead O Connor will bring ot mind sad ballads, but the first song isn't that at all. - I Am Stretched On Your Grave - Sinead O'Connor - All Neon Like - Bjork - Bluebells - Patrick Wolf - Over - Portishead - Future Lovers / I Feel Love (Live) - Madonna - Gunshy - Liz Phair - Father Lucifer - Tori Amos - My Donald - Rachel Unthank & The Winterset - The Apple Stretching - Grace Jones - Hands Around My Throat - Death In Vegas There's no out an out rawk on that, but Death In Vegas suggests that. Folk is represented by Rachel (real folk), lo-fi guitar stuff by Liz, fucked up harpsicord/classical influence by Tori, Trip-hop stuff by Portishead and Sinead (and Bjork) and awesome electro/disco pop by madonna.

chairdriver Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I love including My Donald over I Wish, or Blue Bleezing Blind Drunk or Blue's Gaen Oot O' The Fashion, since they're all more obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaggis Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) I am so hyped for The Gossips "Music For Men" album considering "Heavy Cross" is so amazing. Read an interview that she did in the latest issue of Attitude, I love how much she kept emphasising that it was basically an album for gay men (As in, she'll feel the album is a success if it's played in gay clubs and loved). But, hopefully it'll be better than their previous album, which was completely hit and miss. (Jelous Girls, Standing In The Way Of Control and Listen Up were fantastic) Oh, and the album cover. I thought it was a man...but it's not. Lesbians scare me. :p -- Literally just heard 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill and I have to say I love it. Though, the little bit of screaming in it ruins it. I'm so behind the times. Rest of their stuff any good? Edited June 6, 2009 by Slaggis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably means that the album will be shite, considering the majority of gay men have appalling taste. Literally just heard 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill and I have to say I love it. Though, the little bit of screaming in it ruins it. I'm so behind the times. Rest of their stuff any good? It's very meh. I deleted them off my iTunes, because they were cluttering my life up. They don't take anything away, but they don't add anything either. They do a meh cover of Bjork's Hunter, which makes you want to listen to the real version.

Ganepark32 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 My list of 10 songs: Mother Earth/Ice Queen - Within Temptation (can't decide between the two) Going Under - Evanescence Mojo Pin - Jeff Buckley Ocean Drive - Lighthouse Family The Kids Aren't Alright - The Offspring Peace of Mind - Boston Victory Is Won - Santana For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic - Paramore Poison - Alice Cooper Into Dust - Ashtar Command Was hard just to pick 10 songs from individuals as I have over 200 in my library. List could be better but it covers a decent area of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Which probably means that the album will be shite, considering the majority of gay men have appalling taste. I can't see that happening though tbh, considering Heavy Cross is amazing. Then again, I suppose it could go the same way as the last and have only a couple of standout tracks. But meh, have to see when it's released, but here's hoping. Though, her mention of Katy Perry fucked me off amazingly (She said she was a disgrace to the gay community, or something) purely for Kissed A Girl. Massive over-reaction much? I hate how instead of chosing to mention stuff like Prop 8 and what not, she feels the biggest battle the gay community is facing at the moment is...Katy Perry. Annoys me so much, it's a fun song, that's it. Oh, I've rambled. Edited June 6, 2009 by Slaggis Automerged Doublepost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I liked 30 Seconds To Mars for about 30 seconds, 2 years ago. I like Jared Leto as an actor in some things, and I like that Homogenic by Bjork is (rightly) one of his favourite albums, but they're meh as chair said. It does annoy me that people might think they wrote Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact of the matter is that it pisses everyone off that she's come along with that song and falsely represented the gay community. And stupid people (American Bible Bashers) think she does represent the gay community. The line "Don't mean I'm in love tonight." kills that song. Kills it dead.

Goron_3 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hear's something interesting for those of you into Kanye West.. Kanye is producing Jay-Z's new album BluePrint and on it is a single called 'D.O.A', which stands for Death Of Auto-tune. Funny thing how Kanye produced the song and said in an interview that autotune is basically pointless when he went and released an ENTIRE flipping album based around that shit. Seriously it took him this long to realise?! *sigh* As for the 10 songs: I Used To Love H.E.R - Common Superman - Eminem N.Y State of Mind - Nas I Can't Quit You Baby - Led Zeppelin Master of Puppets - Metallica Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson Gone Away - The Offspring So(ul) Amazing - Blu & Exile Concrete Streets - Jurassic 5 Heart Of The City - Jay-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I like Auto-tune. When used to add to a song, not to use as the voice on a Britney Spears album. I like Kanye's album, it's aurally appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
