f**kIN' A

i wish i could see those guys live again.. i missed them so many times when i was living in Montréal.. they would play there all the time. Although it wasn't with Belladonna.. who i really like. I was stuck in the damn stands in Ottawa last show.. i tried going down to the floor and security was so tight (in a bad way).. it sucked. Ottawa crowds suck. People were sitting down and chatting while anthrax were kicking ass.

A.I.R., In my world, Indians, I am the law, Caught in a mosh.. can't beat that stuff.

Are the 3 recent albums you're talking about with Belladonna or the other singer? i just couldn't get into their albums with the other guy.

Korn: Twisted Transistor

Fkn Love It

I picked up Maia Sharp's CD "Fine Upstanding Citizen" today based on a review in Out magazine, but I haven't listened to it yet. Has anyone else listened to this CD? What did you think? (Regrettably, Out's short review is no longer available online.)

>>
Well, imagine as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor, and I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:

"What beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.

And, "Yes, but what a shame - the poor groom's bride is a WHORE."

I chimed in with a "HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF CLOSING A GODDAM DOOR?! NO??!"

(It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.)

Well, in fact, look at it this way, I mean, technically, our marriage is SAVED! Well, this calls for a toast! So pour the champagne!

Lyric to "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies," a new favorite from Panic! At the Disco -- A Fever You Can't Sweat Out

Sharp, crafty rock from mop-top Vegas kids. You heard it here first (but only because W1865 hasn't been around lately wink ).

Lil' Kim's new "The Naked Truth" and Madonna's "Confessions" are in heavy rotation. Lil' Kim's album is definitely worth the four mikes that they gave it in Vibe magazine. It is one of the best hip-hop albums out this year. She definitely stepped up her game.

Confessions rocks.

[/quote]Um the other guy, not Belladonna. Yeah he is more of a yellar. I like the old stuff. I really like some of the new stuff since it is quite fast and industrial. They are actually driving a lot of noise and distortion. At the same time I think the newer stuff is really evolved and stripped down. Yeah there is also the usual goofy stuff. Just look at their hair on the older releases [/QUOTE]

cool.. what other bands do u like? Suicidal tendencies, maiden, testament?

*blushes* Thanks, MDB! I take that as high praise! (oh, and I STILL owe you a disc, and I'm mortified that I'm so lame)

No. Fabulous?

I've only heard a couple tracks, but I dig. Did you see the \"All about us\" video, though? Damn!

Again - I'll investigate. Thanks again for the tip!

Chris Botti's new cd is amazing. Just bought it and listened to it 3 times straight.

Going back into a Foo Fighter phase

Everlong- Foo Fighters
Best Of You- FF
Baker Street- FF
Darling Nikki- FF
Everybody Wants You- Billy Squire
Oops I Did It Again- Children of Bodom
Another Brick In The Wall- Korn

Im just really into the covers lately, FF's Baker Street is just so different than the original wouldnt say better, I like em both, wasnt a big Prince fan but love FF's Darling Nikki, although Purple Rain is a great song, not a big Britney Spears fan, and Another Brick in The Wall another great cover, but it will always be Pink Floyd's song

a friend of mine went to see 3" of blood in L.A last year.. i've heard about them for a bit, i guess i should check it out.

Queensryche uh? that was my first concert ever.. opening for Metallica. The other bands you listed are good, the only one i didn't figure out was DK.

sorry man, i've never really been into the dead kennedys.
My tastes are ever changing. I've loved everything from hair metal to hardore stuff.

Right now i'm really into euro metal.. they know what metal is supposed to be. Helloween, Nightwish, After Forever, Epica, Kamelot, etc..

i'm also slowly discovering Québec music from all generations. I'm constantly being surprised. Liva is awesome.

I thought for sure that was gonna be a Scott Stapp link.

These particular albums by Röyksopp, Goldfrapp, and Explosions in the Sky are getting lots of plays lately.

And shame on me, I forgot to mention the glorious Kate Bush.

I hate to admitt this, but I got Britney Spears; The Remixes today. I have to say, its pretty good dance music.
The song she did with Madonna has a nice rock/ metal edge to it too.

Finished Pat Benatar and those Benedictine Monks of...wherever, and moved into the B-52's (right now: Whammy!). Fun stuff that's getting me through a less-than-ideal day.

LXN

Love Benatar.

Every couple of months, I pop up my Pat Bentar playlist and listen to her all day. She's on my all time favortie female singers list.

I'm listening to this.

I'm loving the new Robbie Williams disc, Intensive Care. I will never understand why he's not more popular in the States ... I think he's great. He split with his long-time writing partner and this album has some different sounds to it, which I had to get used to; nothing outrageous, but more rock-inspired and more experimental with some of the vocals.

Fave songs are "Advertising Space" (FANTASTIC LYRICS!), "A Place to Crash," and "Spread Your Wings."

There's only one song I don't much care for and even it's better than alot of the crap music out today. (See: "Photograph," by Nickelback, one of the most bafflingly awful songs I've ever heard.)

I am thoughly enjoying this CD as well Gaga.....his lyrics, on songs such as "Tripping" are dark, but the beat is very catchy.

Then we have songs such as "Your Gay Friend" which I find very funny, but again, there seems to be a dark cynical underlying theme...

"And, I'll be your gay friend
Cus your marriage never ends
Till we F(*k and Fight again
There's a space between us"

I do think it is different then Escapology though. As for why he is not more popular, in America, hmmm good question?

I haven't quite figured out what Robbie's talking about on "Your Gay Friend." He's having an affair with a woman, pretending to be her gay friend, and he hopes the husband doesn't find out? :confused:

I think Robbie is always purposely playful with the gay rumors and his sexuality, so maybe it's not supposed to be easily figured out ...

It is a good song, though!

I'm also a Robbie Williams fan. I had to order his Greatest Hits as an import since they do not sell it as a domestic release. I haven't bought his latest cd yet but it's on my list to buy.

I also can't figure out why he's not big in America. But, it's probably the same reason Anastacia is not big here.

I know....it seems to start off him talking about pretending to be a gay friend, to the woman and sleeping with her. Then in the end..it appears, he is singing, about himself having a Gay friend...

"I have a friend again
You are my friend again
My Gay friend"

He does like to keep people guessing about him though eh?

Sort of like Morrisey in the 80's.

PS MDB..who is Anastacia J/k

I just downloaded the DFA records 2005 Holiday Mix from iTunes. 48 minutes of spunky, throbalicious neodisco-cum-electro for a mere 99 cents. Genius!

Spunky? Throb? Cum? Are you sure we're in the right forum here?

Found a CD in my collection that I totally forgot I had gotten (I'd never listened to it until today). The Rough Guide to Asha Bhosle, a woman who sang a ton of songs for Bollywood films from the 40s through the 90s. A lot more varied than I thought it would be, and an extremely entertaining listen.

LXN

Is he the Creed guy? I saw him sing the national anthem at some nascar race last weekend. What a horror!

This week i'm discovering a band that's existed for a while but that i had never heard before. I had heard of their name, but never the music.

They are american, but do not catch on in the states.. they are popular in Europe though, and their music sounds like it comes from over there.

The band is.. Kamelot.

Right now in my CD player, their album Karma.

More Cash!

Orange Blossom Special- Johnny Cash
Time of The Preacher- Johnny Cash & Alice in Chains
Hot Rod Lincoln- Johnny Cash
Would You Lay With Me- Johnny Cash
Highway Patrolman- Johnny Cash
Heart That You Own- Dwight Yoakam
I Hardly Ever Sing Beer Drinking Songs- Johnny Cash
Sarah- Fleetwood Mac

Yes, he is the Creed guy. Or the ex-Creed guy, I guess. Either way, he is the root of all evil. Or at least one of them. wink

sonic, considering your Cash lists, did you see "Walk the Line" yet?

not yet, I'm not a big movie goer but feel obligated to see this

Here are 15 songs that are on my Pop Goes The World playslist:

1. When The Stars Go Blue: Venke Knutson & Kurt Nilsen
2. Look On The Floor/Live In The Sun: Bananarama
3. Pieces of A Dream: Anastacia
4. Switch It On: Will Young
5. What Else Is There?: Royksopp
6. All About Us: TaTu
7. No Worries: Simon Webb
8. Perfect Love (single & love to infinity mix): Simply Red
9. Show Me Love: Andreas Johnson
10. Wonderchild: Christian Walz
11. No Promises: Bryan Rice
12. Durch Den Monsun: Tokio Hotel
13. I Belong To You: Eros Ramazzotti & Anastacia
14. Today Is Tomorrow: DJ Tatana feat. Morris
15. Pop Star: Ken Hirai

If you go to Will Young's website you can watch his video of "Switch It On". It's a take on "Top Gun" with a heavy focus on the Volleyball scene

I purchased Blink182 greatest hits over the weekend. Great stuff from the boys from blink182. Remember the uncensored video of them running outside bare assed naked and peters flying?

This Time- INXS
Dont Change- INXS
Hotel California (live accoustic version)- Eagles
Fernando (ha)- ABBa
Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
Head Down- Soundgarden
Tennessee Flat Top Box- Johnny Cash

I think this is the most mixed up combo Ive put together so far

Just started listening to Matisyahu, the hasidic jew who sings reggae. It's not just a gimmick. He is really good.

Now we talked about this. "Rhinestone Cowboy" & "I Hope You Dance" needs to be on your permanent playlist!

I see INXS has released their new cd with JD Fortune on lead.

>>>Pop Goes The World...

But no Men Without Hats?

Still stuck in the B's. Today listened to Bikini Test Failure, an unsigned Brit-pop one-man operation. Good stuff if you like that sort of thing.

I like \"Are We Having...\" and \"Fling\".

Now that I know what song it is .... the Soul Seekerz remix of Bananrama's "Look on the Floor" has been in my head.

Another song that's pretty new to me that I'm likin is 22nd Avenue's "Am I Dreamin", which is Livin Joy's "Dreamer" with a twist ... they've also done another one called "Take Me Away", with Mariah Carey's vocals.

And it took some time to warm up to Deborah Cox - House Is Not A Home, but I'm startin to love it

[ January 29, 2006, 06:59 AM: Message edited by: Boltergeist ]

I love their new CD "Drama".

Currently listening to: The Last Time/Talk Talk - CD: It's My Life.

NJ

(I know there's a Nina Simone thread somewhere--started when she passed away, I believe--but I can't find it. So...)

Mary J. Blige to star in Nina Simone biopic.

With the success of Ray and Walk the Line, I'm thrilled that they're making a film about the life of Nina Simone, a musical innovator and iconoclast. Love her! I don't know about Mary J. Blige's acting ability, but she will definitely be able to do her own singing for the film (I could imagine her doing a good version of "I put a spell on you"). The casting of Blige should also help open up Miss Nina's music to the younger crowd, who may already be familiar with the remixes (such as "Sinnerman," found on the Verve/Remixed series).

Right now in my CD player is the New York City Gay Mens Chorus Christmas CD.

It's about 6 - 7 years old, but incredible.

Back in an acoustic/mellow kind of mood, so I've got the following on rotation:

Nirvana-Unplugged
Foo Fighters-In Your Honor (Disc 2)
Neil Young-Harvest Moon
James Taylor-Dad Loves His Work
Karla Bonoff-Wild Heart of the Young
Ronstadt, Parton, Harris-Trio
Jackson Browne-Solo Acoustic Volume 1

AIC

Heaven Beside You
Into The Flood
Rotten Apple
Bleed The Freak
Dont Follow
It Aint Like That
Love Hate Love
I Stay Away

I'm sure Layne Staley's having a good time up there with God, doing their accoustic unplugged duets and all.

Okay I just added Sludge Factory

[ December 08, 2005, 10:15 PM: Message edited by: sonic ]

My latest can't-take-it-out-of-the-player disc is Liberty Square by Udora. Their CD doesn't have a distributor right now (they're not signed), but you can get it online at cdbaby and a few other spots. Nothing horribly innovative about it - just melodic rock - but done extremely well.

I like \"Beautiful Game\", but they're all quite good.

LXN

my best of 2005 CD's are getting the play now ... or as I call it, "the recycle bin"

14 of my top 50 club were some type of old song brought back to life, heck some old songs had 2 re-incarnations with their own entries

Cabin Crew - Star To Fall and Mylo - In My Arms (based on "Waiting For A Star To Fall")

Global Deejays - Flashdance and Digital Offspring - Believin ("Flashdance")

best recycle and best mashup go to the same song
Deep Dish - Flashing for money (their "Flashdance" in no way erelated to Irene Cara's vs. Dire Straits "Money For Nothin")

My Top 10 of 2005

10. Anna Vissi - Call Me
9. Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha
8. Global Deejays - Flashdance
7. Deborah Cooper - Live You All Over
6. Madonna - Hung Up
5. Eric Prydz - Call On Me
4. Gadjo - So Many Times
3. Deep Dish/Dire Straits - Flashing For Money
2. Michael Gray - The Weekend
1. Suzanne Palmer - Home

This song is on a CD a friend gave to me.

Since I am in the Christmas mood, a little Skipper always brightens my mood:

Ding Fries are Done!

I thnk the end of the world is near.

CU and I agree on something. eek!

I LOVE this BK guy. It's so funny!!!

I'm compiling my most listend to songs for 2005. Thank goodness for ipods. It does the work for me! I must say that I was quite surprised when I sorted my Library by play count. The #'s 1-5 are separated by only a few listens. I have 5 more days and things can change but it looks like it's going to be a European and Japanese heavy Top 25. I just love this time of year. Yeah, I entertain myself too easily....uh...check that last statement.

Just bought the new Ladytron cd, Witching Hour. Love it. The song Destroy Everything You Touch rocks! That's what the Alt stations are rotating here in LA...I also scored on the Best of David Bowie. Has 20 great tracks covering his music throughout his career (so far). This is definitely worth getting too!
