Goemon 0 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 spud and Ocean: You both would like the Bonobo mix for the Solid Steel series . Been listening to it alot lately. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Thanks for the heads up Goemon. I have a couple of Bonobo mixes lying around on my PC I think. I need to get myself to a good music shop. "Brothers in Arms" eh? Blast from the past. I quite like Dire Strait's hyperbolic narrative style. That song was played at the funeral of a bloke I knew in the Army. The hapless prat was abseiling down a cliff but had not calculated the length of rope required, so he abseiled off into space and had a weepy Dire Straits funeral. Link to post Share on other sites
giggsy 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I've been listening to the two Gorillaz albums recently, really like the newer one. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Listening to some Beck recently some patchy stuff but some great material. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Got the Artic Monkeys last week, good one to try out. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Just bought: LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards Good listening for work. Coupla duds on the double CD, but otherwise good value. Asian Dub Foundation - Enemy of the Enemy Angry British Pakistani youf have some interesting lyrics, especially so after the Tube attacks. I think they may qualify as terrorists. That's all very well, but I prefer the more Asian asian tracks with tabla. Quite partial to a bit of tabla I am. Ministry of Sound - Clubber's Guide Vol.1 Pure shit. Really, really boring. Last time I have anything to do with MoS (not that I've heard anything good from them...) I'll sell this double CD as soon as I can. Link to post Share on other sites
its-a-clock 0 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I've heard a few Ministry of Sound cds and thought they were rubbish. (How come you bought it by the way?) Link to post Share on other sites
maninjapan 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Currently listening to Virgin Radio online, dunno why just felt like listening to it. CD wise - David Gray - Life in Slow Motion is on pretty heavy rotation. Led Zep - How The West Was One - an amzing live album just for disc 1 but combined with disc 2 & 3 it's simply breathtaking. LCD Soundsystem - great little album full of massive tunes. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 David Gray bores me so much. I got the most recent Nine Inch Nails the other week and actually quite like that (in small doses). Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 A friend subscribes to a magazine called Word and they usually have a CD stuck to the front - got some of them recently and there's some top music on them. Good magazine too. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've got Alice in Videoland on repeat right now as I'm slugging through some compositing (green screen editing). really catchy stuff! Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Carpenters CD at the mo which I found in a shop today. Their songs worked to improve my English pronounciation. Do you listen to any J-songs and do they work to improve your Japanese? I think listening to songs and following them by singing together works really good because you are to sing same songs over and over which you usually do in some language school.

indosnm 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 John Butler Trio Xavier Rudd and always Grinspoon. Just saw all these 3 acts at the pyramid rock fest over new years and JBT & Rudd were new to me besides some of their songs played on the J's and totally blew me away ( and the rest 13-15,000 people there!) Grinspoon, Like a good red, just keep getting better with age! Tokyo & Kansai crew, JBT playing in March 8 & 9 i think.... go see it! spewing I can't get there.. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 They DO keep getting better? That song of theirs "Dead Cat" was enough to turn me off them years ago. John Butler Trio - Awesome! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Thanks for the heads up Indosnm - bushpig gave me a copy of JBT and they are awesome! Really love their stuff!! Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Dead cat! Ha, funnily enough they didn't play the song! we were all screaming for it though! Have you heard new detention or thrills, kills & sunday pills albums? CB, I got a heap of JBT stuff, still trying to get to te osaka gig, but looking like a no go... Link to post Share on other sites
Siren 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Kaiser Chiefs - my god it is boring. The sound belongs to the 80's. Back to Bedlum by James Blunt is not bad but I bought a CD to be entertained, not to feel like at a funeral all the time. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Indo, Im gonna check for tickets taday or at least pick up a K.T.O. and see the exact dates of the show. Lemme know if you can make it eh? Some beers before hand will be a must! Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Nightmares on Wax - "Mind Elevation". This album is from a couple of years back but it is one of my favourites. I think they have a new album due out this year. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 JTB in Osaka?? Keep me posted CB. I might even venture out of my hole in Hiroshima for that! No Indosnm, I haven't heard any new stuff of theirs? Still a similar sound? Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 "Mind Elevation", I really liked that too, I'll have to dig it out again. Thanks for reminding me. Link to post Share on other sites
