10 albums you are currently listening to
Peter, Bjorn and John - Writer's Block
the only reason i ever heard this band was because the cd player at my old job broke, so i turned the radio on and heard their 'Young Folks' single. checked out the rest of the album on a whim and...it is solid and catchy enough to enjoy the first time around
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV4Rt4lKgas


Band of Horses - Cease To Begin
not as sweeping or 'grand' as their first album (less reverb) but the songwriting is just as strong...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK716RqoUms

Black Lips - Good Bad Not Evil
i first got turned on to these guys a couple years ago by a co-worker...they were some dirty sounding garage rock tunes that were pure pop through all the mud...the sound's been cleaned up a little sing, with songs about serious subjects that are too fun and catchy to be stuffy or self-righteous...some killer lo-fi garage pop/rock tunes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QxwA4ZCioI

The Black Angels - Passover
this entire album is sometimes vaguely, sometimes blatantly about the war in Iraq, without sounding like a recently converted college activist...if you like nico or spacemen 3 you will love these guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT3oe9U_L_E

Motorhead - Overkill
cause Motorhead fuckin rocks!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb052CExbUI

Black Keys - Rubber Factory
two white kids from ohio do the blues right...how does that voice come out of that guy?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoG3TACGXZo&mode=related&search=

Vulgar Boatmen - Please Panic
much thanks to DU's own enigmatic for turning me on to these guys...an effortless swirl of roots, country, with heavy influences (not always evident) from buddy holly, bo diddley, and so on...this is one of those bands that unquestionably had the talent to make it big but got chewed up in the music industry instead...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m6Jdiea8GU

Redman - Dare Iz A Darkside
one of the best rappers ever, with the best album he ever did - the production and rhyme play speaks for itself...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw4cMsTuiYE

Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R
dirty, heavy, ass kicking rock'n'roll music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScgERsqzUhQ

Hank Williams III - Straight To Hell
not your granddaddy's country (not even his own) - country for people who hate country
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbKwF36o3JA

1. Just ten?
:)

Boris with Michio Kurihara - Rainbow

The guitar in the middle of this song is so cool.The song is so mellow and then the guitar hits and it's like someone reaching right into my brain and scraping it with their fingernails.One of my faves of the year, and I'm getting to see them next week! YAY!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7539883307570918476&q=boris+with+michio&total=16&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0


Ministry - The Last Sucker

Another Bush hate fest, so it has to be good! Just listen to how cool they make Bush's demented laugh as a sample in this. :)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6550301561207805561&q=ministry+the+last+sucker&total=42&start=10&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0


Bloodhorse - EP

A very groovy stoner CD.Heavy and catchy...just how I like it.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=40904833&MyToken=518fe68d-beb9-49e2-b345-ca8562298205


Melvins - (A) Senile Animal

It's the fuckin' Melvins...'nuff said for me.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6635686013063507522&q=Melvins+senile+animal&total=28&start=20&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1


Deathspell Omega - Fas Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum (I looked it up.It translates into, "By divine law, go, you cursed, into the eternal fire!")

Black metal done right.Tons of weirdness thrown into the mix to counter the blistering parts.Another one of my early picks for CD of the year.Pretty hateful stuff.Unfortunately, this vid is fairly old now and not as good as the next two Cds would be.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7309102599698574995&q=deathspell+omega&total=7&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0


OM - Conference of the Birds

This is the other two guys who were with Matt Pike from High on Fire when they were called Sleep.These two stayed way closer to the stoner feel than High on Fire's Motorhead sound is.Seeing these guys on my B-Day next month! At Giza Ending is the new song on the page.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=75523160


Nomeansno - All Roads Lead To Ausfahrt

Because Nomeansno is the best band to ever walk the planet, and for guys in their fifties they put all other punk bands half their age to shame.Happy music for unhappy people.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8626132177194500900&q=Nomeansno+all+roads&total=3&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0


Angels of Light - We Are Him

Michael Gira is amazing, from his days back with the Swans to this stuff here.A great, great voice.This is a fine slice of Americana.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=151668883&MyToken=8e1872d6-48ef-4d42-97ee-5d9fb15f9e9e


Emil Beaulieau - and damn thing he does right now.

There's no way at all to describe this guy.Read about him at wiki and then check out the vid. This vid is both the most fucked up thing I've seen in years and one the coolest.Madness or brilliance? You decide."Rokka da babY!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_Beaulieau

KMFDM - Tohuvabohu

KMFDM kicking ass.Riff driven industrial music with cool lyrics and the girl's voice is super cool.Can't go wrong.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6468031808275624898&q=KMFDM+tohuvabohu&total=7&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=3

4. Nice selection mark414 we have similar tastes in music, my current mp3 player list looks like this
Edited on Sun Dec-30-07 07:30 PM by MiltonF
Asobi Seksu - Citrus
Fun band, lead singer sings in both English and Japanese. They have classic shoe gazer sound to them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8paDhfGQH4E

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Cool Canadian band, their first album Funeral is better but the song Intervention is probably my favorite anti Bush war in Iraq song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO7ZWfvCjBE

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
I love this band but you either love them or hate them in my opinion, some people can't stand the lead singers voice. The clip is from a live show which does not do justice to the band or the album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUNLxn-DYwc

Black Mountain - Black Mountain
I dig on these guys but I may be the only one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VElg2CNpJSY&feature=related

Pink Mountaintops - Pink Mountaintops
Another band fronted by Stephen McBean the lead singer for Black Mountain. There second album Axis of Evol is great.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt_0paFMDqc&feature=related

The Warlocks - Phoenix
I enjoy all of their albums, some people think the lead singer sounds like Eric Cartman but I think they are pretty entertaining.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koOyZF6jvFI

TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
Kind of an Art band but they can rock out and I like them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUB1xSAAADk

The Dandy Warhols - Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia
Have to give props to a local Portland band.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK5MC8pa_cY

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Tepid Peppermint Wonderland: A Retrospective
These guys are great, if anyone is interested in them or the Dandies they should watch the documentary Dig.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOiVm4wneII

The Black Angels - Passover
I know that mark414 already listed them but this album is probably my favorite album right now and it's something I can listen too over and over.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQTkOP60bGg
