Music you're digging right now

[yungerkid]

Took me about ten listens before I started liking it.

[Vyacheslav]

INSIDE a mind so DERANGED
HOW I wish you all were DEAD
ANNOYING humanity SICKENS me
I CONTEMPLATE your extinction!

Great album. Maniac's voice sorta grows on you.

[yahoozy]

Yahoozy.

This literally looks nothing like me.

This Charming Man by Stars (The Smiths cover)

[yungerkid]

Now I'm really into Mayhem. For the first time. I listened to their earlier stuff too, from Deathcrush and De Mysteris Dom Sathanas or whatever it was, and I liked everything I heard. And I'm also into rap at the moment, particularly Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy. Kind of an odd blend.

[Vyacheslav]

yungerkid: You gotta listen to "Live in Leipzig."

[Tunco]

Shit, I can't find Mayhem albums in any store near me. Gimme a link.

[Vyacheslav]

The whole thing is on Youtube.

You know, I love this album of Mayhem the best. Really strong and evil songs out there. Should listen.

Nick Drake is one of my favs. Pink Moon is a wonderful record, and one I go back to often.

Right now I'm listening to Warpaint.

Just discovered Bathory a few hours ago. I had heard of them, but hadn't really listened very much. I don't normally like clean vocals in black metal, but they work very well here. Sounds like a much heavier, much more serious, much more brooding version of heavy metal. I like the melodic part, too. Anyway, I don't quite like them just yet, but they definitely have potential.

Oh, and I'm trying to listen to more Owen Pallett. And Owl City, too. Probably also Ferry Corsten, eventually.

[Vyacheslav]

Bathory's pretty good. Anyone give Darkthrone's latest album "Circle the Wagons" a listen yet?

[unoriginal name]

Some interesting stuff I've discovered over the past month or so:

Josh Lay - Abandoned by Christ
Awesome noise cassette. Dark, foggy loops of unidentifiable instruments glide underneath a swampy morass of humming static. I just wish it was longer.

Maskull - Maskull
Like absolutely nothing else. If you ever want someone to go away, play this. It is among the creepiest things I've ever heard, in part due to the fact next to nothing is known about this guy. There's a rumor says he died of AIDS shortly after recording this, but that could be totally false. I have to say, though, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were true.

Blood Stereo - Your Snakelike Kings
Another noise album, but this is a very different animal. It's two songs that are built up out of subhuman grunts, abused violins, and a multitude of other bizarre sounds. This is as chaotic as anything, but it also feels very deliberate. A lot of work went into these songs, and you can really /tell/, too.

Bruce Haack - The Electric Lucifer
This is just some really fun psychedelic electrorock, full of solid songs. "National Anthem to the Moon" is of particular note, but they're all really enjoyable tracks.

Kemialliset Ystävät - Kellari juniversumi
This is an endlessly delightful, entertaining album, just bursting at the seams with ideas. Each song, at any moment, could and usuaally does fly off in a completely unexpected direction. Every now and again, it will alight for a moment on a weak or unplesent sound, but then it moves on to something else, and the moment is gone before you really lock onto it.

Christian Marclay & Otomo Yoshihide - Moving Parts
Completely crazy sample cacophony that will knock you ten ways from Tuesday if you aren't ready for it. If you are, however, you should enjoy this immensely.

Jacob Kirkegaard - Eldfjäll
Recordings of volcanoes, but not in the death-and-disaster sense you imagine, as the cover certainly indicates. No, these were recorded far away from the action, microphone pressed to the ground, amplifying the near-imperceptible rumbling vibrations. Not amplifying greatly, mind. This is certainly the sort of album you have to be in the right mood for. It's not really music, in anything like the traditional sense, but it can be fascinating in its own way. I have basically no other experience with "lowercase," the musical genre, but my interest is certainly piqued.

Daniel Johnson - 1990
Surreal and beautiful. Johnson's quavering, childlike voice not only makes his strange, childlike lyrics work, he makes them mesmerizing. Say what you will about the music, it's impossible to deny there's little else like this out there.

Niel Feather - Revelation of An Anaplumb
Flat-out excellent drone, about ten times as obscure as it should be.

[yungerkid]

I listened to Bathory some more, and I like them now. I hadn't heard of Circle the Wagons. If it's anything like Dark Thrones and Black Flags, though, it can't be good. I didn't like that album one bit. Their best stuff was on Transylvanian Hunger.

edit: Just listened to the title track. I absolutely hated the clean vocals. They sounded bad, were generic, and made the music behind it sound like pansy heavy metal. Didn't like the song. Not very creative, not very directional.
