Today I am Listening To...

[Quisling]

Jeez, we're triplets!

Thanks Deano, I didn't spot that earlier post. </slapping myself awake>

[Deano]

Same here - I've just noticed Mr Larrington's reply below my post

They are a great live band - I saw them in some London dive about 8 years ago. Looks like they're touring next year, but only Manchester and London.

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  We shall go.

When the Social Secretary and I saw them, though, there were four.  Of them.

Edit: Social Secretary says 'spotter buys the tix', so Deano, you owe me some dosh

Green Day again, I am afraid, this time it is "Bullet In A Bible"

Ha!  Them's not the roolz around 'ere

Besides, I need my cash to get tickets for Mogwai in Gateshead come February.

..and they were a three-piece (drums, guitar, guitar) when I saw them, but it was several Whiles ago, so they must have gotten a new member.

The Seduction of Claude Debussy

[microphonie]

Explosions in the sky; early "post-rock".

Just sussing them out on Youtube but I've liked everything I've heard so far.
This is especially chilled and beautiful <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/KY8BCgX0dwg&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/KY8BCgX0dwg&rel=1</a>

Microphonie will be along in a minute to tell me all I need to know.  I think I have a music-twin

Today I am Listening To...

I've found Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever to be my favourite album.  Such a big sound, considering there are only three of them.

Wow, I've never been considered to be a music guru before. Most family/friends think my musical taste is just weird...

Actually - EITS are one band that's pretty much passed me by. I have a downloaded copy of 'All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone' but it seems to have got lost in deluge of other stuff I got at the same time. Will have to add it to the mp3 & listen at work. And add 'Those Who Tell...' to my save for later list on eMusic too.

More recommendations in addition to Forest Swords:

This Will Destroy You
65daysofstatic (latest album We Were Exploding Anyway is great)
Gentleman Losers

[spesh]

Inspired by the King Crimson thread, I've listening to a prog playlist on my Babbage Engine's MP3-a-tron.

Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Muse, Mostly Autumn, Panic Room, Alan Parsons Project, Rush, Queensryche and er... Opeth, to name but a few!

Your tastes seem very wise to me.  I haven't heard of half the bands you mention

Of this lot, I know 65daysofstatic - I know their first album best, and they're very good, but it's much meatier than EiTS.

When I was trying to explain Explosions in the Sky to someone else, I described them as a less avant-garde Godspeed.  And hopefully that doesn't sound too crap.

[Deano]

.. and currently I'm listening to the Twominutemen double 7" compilation, which is probably in a similar vein, except much much shorter.  I'd forgotten how good it is.

ETA: Disc 1 seems to be in a similar vein (especially Grover) - but Disc 2 ain't. At all. But The Surf Creatures is a cracking name for a band.

[Ray 6701]

Interpol: Antics.  My fave album

[gritted teeth] I hope you have a great time. No, I really do. [/jealousy]

I mostly listen to electronica so a lot of the artists I mention are anonymous & faceless Aphex/Autechre fan-boys with a limited audience! 
Electronica recommendation of the year: Senking - Pong

Well, I quite like most of them too, so you aren't entirely alone...

[Exit Stage Left]

A five CD 70s EMI compilation. A lot of the stuff is embedded in the heads of people my age, so it's good soundtrack material. One of my faves is this.

    YouTube
        - Brian Protheroe - Pinball
  
It's a precursor to Al Stewart and Gerry Rafferty, but the imagery is Bowie and the post phrasing gives it a lovely weary quality.

Ah, Gantz Graf. One of my all time favourite music videos. You're not alone in the love of electronica (though I admit I'm a bit out of touch these days).
