[Godspeed You! Gabe Newell]

Looking for more post hardcore/screamo like Touche Amore, Suffocate for Fuck Sake, La Dispute, mewithoutYou and Victor! Fix the Sun.

Also black and sludge metal is welcomed. Only listen to Amesoeurs for black metal atm and for sludge I have Boris, High on Fire, Mastodon, Baroness, Torche.

Anyone ?

Edit: I'd actually like more everything really. I mainly listen to shoegaze, post punk, post rock, noise rock, indie rock, indie pop, electronic, hip hop.

touche amore is cool. i missed them twice in orlando but have talked to their vocalist online (lol??)

i can give a ton of recs for this genre but bear in mind that la dispute/mwy are quite shit and very much on the poppy/mainstream side of it

go for funeral diner's the underdark and daitro's laisser vivre les squelettes first, ask for more if you like that

The only black metal band I listen to with any regularity is Moonsorrow. They are so great.

I have a compilation of Thai rock n' roll called Thai Beat a Go-Go, and it gives me a huge boner every time I hear it.

guys, i've been listening to the new Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach, and it's pretty good. i've been listening to "sweepstakes" and "melancholy hill" all day.

Plastic Beach is the first Albarn project in years (ever?) I haven't liked. It kicks off with that fucking awful Snoop track and never recovers.

I don't like the first few songs of plastic beach, but by song 5 or so, its all good from there. I was hoping for it to be a little more amazing overall, though.

re: Plastic Beach: "Empire Ants" is pretty heavenly & the rest of the record puts me to sleep

i feel like there's a lot of baggage attached to that relationship, soooo.....


interesting tracklist! most of those are my favorites from I am Not Insane, though Reeling the Liars In is sort of an interesting choice, as that one sounded the most "Angels of Light-y" to me. wonder which version of Eden Prison he'll go with.



hey Dracko, come fly out to NYC in October and see these dudes with me and dongle

[Anonymous]

Anyone thoughts on Lady Gaga here? Does anyone care?

I've only just started paying any attention at all, really. The video for "Bad Romance" seems to me like there's some kind of Kubrick influence...



Reminds me of Eyes Wide Shut, kind of... I think I like her videos. I don't hate the music, either.

Fake edit: Oh.

I appreciated a lot of what GaGa did until this came along, at which point I became ambivalent.

I mean I guess it's cool that she does, but I'm not sure I'd care either way.

Some of her songs are pretty good, but I think it's her visual side that I find more interesting. Sexy as hell, actually.

This review of The Fame Monster sums up what I like about her pretty well, actually:

The music part of GaGa (this is how I think it should be spelled), at least, is something I rather enjoy. It's the confabulated image that I have trouble with, particularly in her music videos.

Nice article, agree with much of the music commentary, sometimes on sometimes off with the video commentary.

I mean it's all pretty fun I guess? I feel like at this point there's nothing for me to contribute to discussion about her, but I think the way I dance has bits of her stuff in it

She seems to play the part of Lady Gaga quite comfortably, and if you look up some of her old music as Stefani whatshername you may get the impression that this was a metamorphosis she was bound for. Either way, the persona of Lady Gaga is apparently somewhat conceptual -- though I'm not sure to what extent she's "commenting" on fame, rather than simply fetishizing it to an almost surreal degree -- which fascinates me a bit.

I'm reminded of The Angels of Light song "Michael's White Hands," which was supposedly an actual comment on celebrity -- specifically, Michael Jackson and the perception of him as an adrogynous nymph and a materialization of glamour -- and how these people are really just archetypal manifestations of collective dreams or decadent desires or whatever. Of course, not without some patently apocalyptic overtones...

So the Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse album is out and it's pretty nice.

As I listened to it I remembered that Mark Linkous is dead and I got a little bummed out.

[Dracko]

Ben Frost is going to be mentored by Brian Eno.

Wow.

And Poland's Unsound Festival has commissioned him along with Daníel Bjarnason to create a piece inspired by Solaris.

Thanks to Cycle for bringing these to my attention.

I haven't really paid any attention to Jesu since Conqueror.

If he could ever get back to making things like Heart Ache (or, uh, Streetcleaner, though not likely) I'd be interested again.

His "electronica" stuff really bores me.

Have you heard Pale Sketches, though?

And Infinity was pretty heavy. Check that one out too.

Oh, Aidan Baker has his own label now: http://brokenspine.bigcartel.com/

Which I like, because I'd rather give money straight to artists I like if I can.

I haven't. Will look them up.

What did you make of Greymachine? I think it's not quite on par with earlier Godflesh, though it really isn't bad.

Oh and by the way, here's the first review of the new Swans album.

By all appearances it seems to be real, and has me quite excited!

You know where you can find them. ;o

Greymachine I like. I still think Vultures Descend is the real deal and stand-out track, though.

Honestly, I think when it comes to JKB-related metal, the last albums I really got into where Transitional's. Stomach of the Sun makes for a good BLAME! soundtrack.

I've only just started rediscovering Godflesh on account of the re-releases and compilations, though. Next up is the Streetcleaner reissue. Life is Easy was the only track that stood out for me of what I heard of the band's when I was a teen.

EDIT: New Swans comes out the same day as Halo: Reach. That's going to make two rather grand early birthday presents. 8)
