What are you listening to?

[aKore]

Well, I need some new music, and figure the best way would be to get an idea of what you guys are listening to.
Please put song, artist, and genre.

"The thing about it" - Sweatshop Union - Hiphop/rap
^^^in "The Collective"

[hotfeat1227]

"two shoes" - the cat empire

^^ in Seasons (fall section)

[pspwesty]

On right now,
"Forbidden Pt.2" - The Rozatones Funk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5-1o...eature=related

[BikeLazer]

ah, my two passions, music and bicycles.

as far as easily accessible new music, i'd recommend:

Q-Tip - the rennaissence (hip-hop)
Menahan Street Band - Make the Road By Walking(funk)
King Kahn and His Shrines - The Supreme Genius of(soulful, funky garage rock)
anything by Dungen.(psych rock)

a mtb forum is not a good place to find out about music. notice the first two guys are listening to music from the collective movies?!?!?! there is lots better music out there than stuff that happens to be in mtb vids.

[indigosky]

Carmencita by Devendra Banhart - Genre: Freak Folk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_QAPjtO2cA



....and yes, that's Natalie Portman

[emtnate]

Putting the playlist on random reveals:

What Goes On - The Velvet Underground
Mr. Martin - Starflyer 59
Traces - Built to Spill
Clark Gable - The Postal Service
Song About Sex - Neutral Milk Hotel
Champagne From a Paper Cup - Death Cab for Cutie
Race for the Prize - The Flaming Lips

I like indie rock and the bands that inspired them if you can't tell.

[EnglishT]

Depends...


When riding - mostly angry (read: mostly heavyish rock, punkrock etc) music really gets me pumped and it feels good while in the saddle.
My regular riding playlist is mostly: Rise Against, Nickelback, Offspring, BSF, Breaking Benjamin, with a few random tracks from others mixed in.

Though at home, I'll almost never listen to this stuff - its music for a purpose (psyching me up), and I appreciate it for that, but for relaxing it isnt really the right kind of music.

I wouldnt agree totally that all the music from collective films is rubbish - some of it is, some isnt.. I guess like music in general, its personal, but what I will say is that almost all of it works for the clip it accompanies.
I wouldnt say the rise against tracks (like the angel, torches, everchanging etc) are bad at all - nor would I say Sunday Jen is a bad song (though that band has a few other nice tracks on their album).

[emtnate]

.

To each their own. Other than the indie rock I listed above, listen to punk, hardcore, metal, ect.. I've actually fallen asleep to listening to hatebreed and zao. I find the constant rhythms to be quite relaxing and a great stress reliever. By the way, that hatebreed song - destroy everything is great to listen to while working out.

[ZombieFood]

I'm a music snob/whore/nerd/hoarder, spanning all genres except country (very few exceptions), and hip hop, which has been dead to me since about '91. Last five from today's shuffling says:

Jello Biafra and DOA - We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
Stiv Bators - Tell Me
Iggy Pop - Instinct
King Khan and the Shrines - Que Lindo Sueno
Charlie Feathers - Mound of Clay

[jeffw-13]

South Side of the Sky - Yes
Kinda mountain bikey

A river a mountain to be crossed
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
Around the south side so cold that we cried
Were we ever colder on that day
a million miles away
It seemed from all eternity

Move forward was my friends only cry
In deeper to somewhere we could lie
And rest forthe the day with cold in the way
Were we ever colder on that day
a million miles away
It seemed from all eternity

The moments seemed lost in all the noise
A snow storm a stimulating voice
Of warmth of the sky of warmth when you die
Were we ever warmer on that day
a million miles away
We seemed from all eternity

The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
The river can disregard the cost
And melt in the sky warmth when you die
Were we ever warmer on that day
a million miles away
We seemed from all of eternity

Nothing I'd rather discuss. I was just sent a link to an online newspapers six word reviews of 763 mp3's from bands appearing at the 2008 SxSW music festival in Austin.

They are expecting some 1800 bands from around the world to perform at the festival this March! I think I've only missed attending twice since '97. Do some riding in the morning and then head off for 12 hours of music, for four days.

The world is filled with people who are no longer needed -
and who try to make slaves of all of us -
and they have their music and we have ours -
theirs, the wasted songs of a superstitious nightmare -
and without their musical and ideological miscarriages to compare our songs of freedom to,
we'd not have any opposite to compare music with -
and like drifting wind, hitting no obstacle,
we'd never know it's speed, it's power...

Woody Guthrie

[bloodyknee]

Hey Prodigal Son - Good list! Anybody who listens to The Gourds is okay in my book.

A few others:

Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion
Arcade Fire
The Pixies
Vampire Weekend
Sleater Kinney
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

[emtnate]

Prodigal Son

I think south by southwest is only redeeming thing from Texas. I sure wish I could go every year.

[papanoel]

"Rise" - The Ordher - Death metal

[SnowStorm]

Nelo.

They are from Austin, TX. They sound awesome and they are super chill guys. I believe I have single-handily increased their fanbase by 50 people.

The Gourds are a mainstay at the festival in Austin. Since I concentrate my time checking out new acts mostly, I haven't seen them live for a while. I recall Sleater Kinney and Yeah Yeah Yeahs performing at SxSW in years past. I saw the Pixies several times in San Francisco and Sacramento years ago when they were at their peak. The two most memorable shows were the Pixies with Primus and Porno For Pyros, and Pixes-Spiritualized-Jesus and Mary Chain. I currently have a TiVo'd performance of Arcade Fire from the studios at Austin City Limits. I'd put them in my current top ten acts of all time, along with Sixteen Horsepower, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The The, Mazzy Star, The Wedding Present, Joy Division / New Order, Cocteau Twins, The Church , Bob Dylan.

I think south by southwest is only redeeming thing from Texas.

I disagree, Emtnate. Don't forget the brisket at The Salt Lick.



I live with music like a monk who prays every moment, including the night when he gets up to say Ave Maria. It is no more or no less. Simply utter devotion. The utmost devotion.

[hotfeat1227]

nothing beats Radiohead and ZZtop

amen

[dmccune]

Not any solid red neck southern rock (ok some) but my plug is Drive by Truckers, Jason Isbel, The Knew and James McMurtry playing a lot now. Social Distortion and Mike Ness always get some good play time too.

[Mr. DiCenso]

My Morning Jacket, I started listening to them occasionally, now they're my favorite and I have all their albums. They're kind of Alternative-Country, but have evolved into more indie sounding stuff (all good) somewhat like band of horses but much more versatile and with more material. Albums you gotta get: At Dawn, It Still Moves, Z

[FloridaFish]

flavor of the month is currently......

The Night Marchers - See you in magic - rock'n'roll I guess, but so much more.
Sloan - Parallel Play - beatles-esque stuff, very rock-poppy.
Caribou - Andorra - hmmmm, trippy, indie, experimental stuff, but in a good way.

[Garlock]

feel good inc.

[Bo55Diesel]

I've been listening to some early-to-mid-90s club performances of DMB.

[hncreature]

Cult Of Luna - The Beyond
The Ocean - Fluxion
Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites

[No Endo]

Tool

[Bokchoicowboy]

Just now finished new release from The Cure: 4:13 Dream.

WTF?!

I think I will put this away and never listen to it again. I don't know what these guys were thinking, but this album is crap. Their last release wasn't so hot, but this is really bad.

[Rev Bubba]

The two groups I listened most recently were Fleet Foxes and The Old Crow Medicine Show....

[Ouroboros]

Tool

Been listening to them again lately, lateralus in particular. Also, Fugazi, best punk band ever, even if they don't really fall into the genre. Let's see, lots of older hip hop lately. Namely A Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang Clan and Gang Starr. What else: Coltrane, Dizzy Gullespie Zappa, Tom Waits, Melvins, I could go on...

[Barkleyfan]

For riding, I keep my playlist pretty aggressive;
KoRn, Tool, Slayer, The Prodigy, Hurt, Pantera, Snapcase, Clutch, AFI, Hellyeah, Mudvayne, Nonpoint, Nothingface, Butthole Surfers, Suicidal Tendencies, Saliva, Atreyu, Death Angel,Faith No More, Filter, older Finger Eleven, Guano Apes, Jimmies Chicken Shack, Machinehead, Five Finger Deathpunch, etc.

At home, I'll listen to anything from Obie Trice to the Ohio Players to Loreena McKennit to Muddy Waters.

[pro]

Right now?
Dont tread on me- 311

Not sure whats next, but I mainly listen too 90's rock and some underground hiphop

Offspring, blink, greenday, nofx, SXDX, Chronic future, Hilltop hoods, immortal technique, masta ace, aesop rock, Turbonegro, screeching weasels.

[JeffSkisMontana]

Linkin Park
Nickelback
Mudvayne
Saliva
Staind
DeFault
10 Years
Cold (Metal)
Three Days Grace

[Wulf1971]
