[MUSIC]What Are You Listening To?

For me, it is always great to discover a band that you have never heard of before, and then find out they have been recording for a decade or more and have a whole catalog of music to listen to. About 10 years ago I found out about the Frames and was able to see them in town a couple of times at smaller venues (before the movie Once was released). Now, I have recently found out about Biffy Clyro, who is huge in Europe. They are playing arena shows over there, but I doubt they would fill a 1000 person club here. I'm hoping they will come over soon, but I'm not sure where they would play (most likely a festival, but I'd love to see them in a club). They were here in 2011 and played a club that usually has crowds of around 200 people.

REM's green just got reissued/remastered with a 2nd disk containing an entire show from 1989. i had not listened to this album in years and i am really enjoying it. (80's) REM is one of my all-time favorite bands...life's rich pageant is one of my all-time favorite records and i still listen to murmur and document, but green is not a record i ever go back to. but its really a good one from start to finish. this album came out when i was in 8th grade and was my first exposure to the band. i listened to the s*** out of it so revisiting brought back alot of memories.

and the live show is great - band sounds amazing and the recording quality is top-notch.

pitchfork gave it an 8.4, but i would probably have to give it an 8.9327.

 

love Gustavo Santaolalla, one of Defino's compatriots.

Skinny Puppy-Weapon

The thing I probably appreciate the most about this band, is they have been pumping out music for 30 years now. Always done it their way and never sold out.

The Foxygen album snuck up on me and locked itself in as one of my favorites of the year. Kind of Lou-Reed-ish.

Working with Hk/Buddha on the Moon again on a covers project with songs from Caravan and Elliot Smith next, this is an Ultra Vivid Scene song called Staring at the Sun.

love foxygen... their first album is fantastic. think i mentioned em several pages back.

listening to cory morrow right now.... that's right. texas time travelin' is a fantastic example of modern texas country. plus the nostalgia factor is great - can't help but think back to high school when we wore this album out.
