The Pogues
Smithereens
Vampire Weekend
Liz Phair
Jason Mraz
Elliott Smith

Ringo reccomended Liz Phair to me. He then realised he had misinterprited my request for chick rock and has since recinded his reccomendation.

Chick cock?

Try old Liz Phair, not her new pop stuff. It's okay, but not the Liz I love.

Fuck and Run is good. As is Supernova, Polyester Bride, and H.W.C.

Disturbed.

A jew that can growl like that! I'm in. Love me some David Draiman!!

And she's not even talking about the music!

I'm not!

Have you ever listened to Andrew Morgan? He is Elliott Smith's disciple so to speak and has an album called Misadventures in Radiology that probably as good as anything Smith has done. One of the hidden gems of this decade really.




I recommended him Exit To Guyville actually or whatever her first album is called. Then I realized he wants stuff like Avril Lavigne, that kind of chick rock.

Incidentally Fuck and Run is in my top 10 most listened songs on my iPod. I am so sad.

Also I have pretty much been listening to Animal Collective all day. They are quickly becoming one of my favourite bands of all time and I've been on a huge kick of theirs for most of the week, but I'm not even bored.

Exit to Guyville is her best. Fuck and Run is a great song! However, I can't help but sing H.W.C. in the office all day, it gets stuck in my head.

I've never heard of Andrew Morgan, but now I will have to go listen!

Weezer, Islands (which I'm digging the more I listen to them) Mr. Gnome, Bad Religion, Gogol Bordello and Fall Out Boy.

Andrew Morgan is awesome.

Today I've dedicated to Roommate, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Andrew Morgan, T. and The Wedding Present. It is a good day for music.

Huzzah.

Serge Gainsbourg and Animal Collective and Fern Knight

Serge Gainsbourg and Animal Collective and Fern Knight

I tried to listen to Animal Collective yesterday and just couldn't. I quite like Fern Knight though.


Today Syn is listening to:

Vampire Weekend
Dean Martin
Iron & Wine
Poe
Tool
Rob Zombie

Springsteen live in Dublin. As I was there

The Misfits

The Cure

Alkaline Trio (Who I hope to see on June 14th)

Coheed & Cambria

I listened to the EP I got of Jaguar Love, which is two main guys from Blood Brothers and the black guy from Pretty Girls Make Graves together and...ugh. It was horrible. Blood Brothers is tolerable hardcore, Pretty Girls Make Graves is fine indie rock (or post-punk, which is the gay label everyone gives them). But they let one of the guys from Blood Brothers sing and he is horrible. Ringy, you'd probably hate him more than Coheed and Cambria's vocalist if you want a comparison as to how bad he is.

The Cure and Barenaked Ladies. And some Might Boosh radio show.

NIN, NIN, and more NIN. Feeling anomic today. Yup.

Lots and lots of White Williams and Joan of Arc. I can't get WW's "Violator" out of my head...what a great blast of 80s style indie-pop.

Animal Collective is very much an album band. Granted there are a few songs that are awesome to hear on their own but for the most part you need to listen to a whole album to get the feel.



I don't hate the Co&Ca singer. I even like some of their songs!

I've spent most of the day listening to Deerhunter's new leak, which is tremendous. I've also been listening to Wayne Hussey (who's got an awesome, awesome cover of the Cure A Night Like This on his album, amongst others) and to Air France, which is good for summer. Oh I've also listened to the odd bit of Yes as well.

Well, I mentioned Coheed because Jaguar Love's lead singer has a screechingly high voice, except the guy tries to have a Kevin Barnes-like style with his voice and it's horrible.

Jaguar Love is shit though >_>

I have made this known. >_>

Love and Rockets

The Bauhaus

The Smiths

Garbage

Julee Cruise (Thanks Ringy. Now I feel like I'm in a Lynch movie and keep looking over my shoulder for midgets and men with one ear!)

Spoon, Portishead, Roommate and The Vines.

Spoon are okay, nowt special mind. Portishead new album is depressing. Roommate are cool. and I miss the Vines.

Foals

MGMT

Juliette Lewis and the Licks (don't ask me why, but Love to Kill is catchy as hell)

The Ting Tings (Yes Ringy, I know I told you I couldn't stand them, but they grew on me)

Kaki King

The Postal Service

Patti Smith

Santogold

Siouxsie and The Banshees

I've stumbled upon someones playlist on our public drive and I'm enjoying the hell out of it

Yeah, they definitely get better and more tolerable the more you listen to their stuff.

I listened a lot to The Futureheads's "Radio Heart". Nice to see that they make one awesomely catchy song an album as this seems to be the one that stands out from their new record.

I have been listening to the Vivian Girls and Black Tambourine. So 50s style chick rock really

I'm really digging the Puppini Sisters. They sing modern songs with that big band feel. I listen to them quite often.

Vampire Weekend

Poe

Ani Difranco

Liz Phair

It's a chick rock, men suck kinda day.

Does the screechingly high vocals of Ezra from Vampire Weekend count him as chick rock? >_>

Today it does!

However, to be fair, I started out with that this morning and from then on it's been whiney chick you suck I hope you die rock

Eluvium's last album makes for relaxing day dream music

Gentle Touch. It's like Depeche Mode came back to life and decided to have Scandinavian undertones to their music.

Dramarama

Reel Big Fish

Madness

The Beat

Fishbone

Nickel Creek

Iron and Wine

Joanna Newsome (It just dawned on me today that the lead singer of CocoRosie reminds me of her)

The new Abe Vigoda :liketot:

Police

Yes

Blue Oyster Cult

Sound Track of Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Harvey Milk, The M's, King Khan and King Crimson!

The Clash

The Replacements

Rancid

Sublime

The Toasters

Queen

I actually heard about the 15th anniversary reissue of Exile in Guyville, and me being the type of guy who'll listen to any female singer-songwriter, and knowing that it is supposed to be her penultimate CD, I was not disappointed. Great stuff and "Fuck and Run" remains a standout track.

Guyville is one of my top cd's in rotation. Fuck and Run has withstood the test of time. It continues to be one of my favorites.

Candi Staton

Ella Fizgerald

Dinah Washington

Beth Hart

Yeah, I'm very impressed. I only heard "Why Can't I" before then and thought it tolerable mediocre pop, but after hearing those records and the raw sound of Phair's songwriting and lyrics, it's quite understandable why fans despised her going pop.

I hope to listen to some Santogold soon, as I have to be late to trends by about three months (or 15 years).

ooooo Why Can't I almost turned me off. Mediocre pop is a kind way to put it. The thing I love so much about Liz is her in your face, eyebrow raising lyrics. Her pop stuff is best left to the teenyboppers that listen to it.


Santogold is lovely. I love her wide range of musical styles.


What I'm listening to today?

Jason Mraz - He just soothes me on days when I need petting.

The Bridges - Recommended by a friend, I'm not sure about them yet.

Sublime - No need to explain there

Lords of Acid - Because sometimes I just wanna be offensive.

In an effort to stave off the blues, I listen only to Fall Out Boy on this day

FOB is the perfect mix to brighten even the darkest day. I'll listen with you. Starting with a lil "The Take Over, The Breaks Over"!

The After Life of the Party, Thnks fr th Mmrs, and This 'Aint a Scene do it for me right now. XO too.

And then there is my favorite, the acoustical version of "Grand Theft Autumn". Sing along with meeee!

Yay, lesbians and pussy talk!

Listening to the new Beck record. I expect to be fully fascinated and all that.
