So what are you listening to these days?

Recommended Posts

I was such a huge Black Keys fan for over a decade but I just don't like most of the new stuff I've heard from them. The Big Come Up and Thickfreakness were great albums and I loved the direction they went with Rubber Factory. After that there was a stretch where I enjoyed their albums but not nearly as much as the first 3. Brothers and El Camino had their high points and I didn't mind them venturing into a bit more pop rock but from what I have heard since then I feel like they have lost something too important to there sound.

And also, Chulahoma, their album of Junior Kimbrough covers is just exquisite.

Speaking of covers, anyone heard the Chet Faker cover of No Diggity? Fantastic!

Still loving the usual stuff but after buying the book 'gimme indie rock' about the US hardcore and post hardcore scene in the 80s and early 90s i've been relisting to

SEBADOH

 

HELMET

 

DEAD KENNEDYS

MINUTEMEN

My first music love really and something i always come back to.  I play in a goth industrial band, i dj techno in clubs but at home its Husker Du when I want music i really love that means something to me.

Dead Kennedys is one of my absolute favorite bands. Plastic Surgery Disasters is an amazing album. I use to have my pins of DKs, Exploited, & Crass all next to each other on my jacket, just for the irony lol.

 

I'm not much into goth beyond Cure & Joy Division (and other favorite), and I don't really consider them goth. I love Skinny Puppy & Ministry, and some of the other groups from their waxtrax circle, but I'm kind of picky with industrial.

 

I use to play in a kind of punk/industrial band (the Radarmen). What's your band's name? I think you linked me a video once.

In in 'Renoized' but we're more 'industrial' then punk with sort of 'death metal' vocals.

 

I love Crass too, my wife hates them though.  Likewise throbbing gristle.

 

If i ever want some time alone i stick on throbbing gristle or crass and she just goes and visits her pals :)

 

I like the cure and joy division and like you like them more than the 'vampires and poisonous herbs' type of goth, Jd and the cure are more 'post punk' to me. 

 

Apparently both bands considerred themselves 'raincoat bands' and the cures 'goth look' originally came from having pale faces to look more monochrome on stage.

KMFDM was fun but they are real pefectionists so as the opening act you dont get much time for a sound check.   Sheep on Drugs were on the same tour.  We didnt tour with them just played on dates on the tour, we were not on a bus with em or anything... we barely spent any time with em to be honest.

 

Alex used to use a lot of vocal processing, he sings pretty 'clean' these days but the effect is about the same :)

Just picked up the most recent Jamie T album, Carry On The Grudge. He's come a long way since Panic Prevention, and it is **** fine. I rarely have cause to feel so positive about an entire album.

Probably my favorite song:

I think you'd like Scottish band Josef k, from the Postcard label.
