What Stuff Are You Listening To Just Now?

What are everyones current bands/singers/DJs/whatever that you can't stop listening to?

 

 

The What Are You Listening To thread is a total clustercuss with all the YouTube videos etc.

 

 

Interested to have another look at JKB's musical interests and pick away at them like the music snob that I am.

 

 

I'm well into my Arcade Fire(nap)*, Errors, Twilight Sad, Mogwai, TV on the Radio, Groove Armada and Jonsi stuff just now. And some Sebastian Ingrosso. :unsure:

 

 

Anyone that says Scouting For Girls is minus 10 points

 

 

 

*I noticed the cool kids doing this thought I'd try it out.

Old Crow Medicine Show, Talking Heads, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Biffy Clyro, Steve Earle, Yonder Mountain String Band, Dave Matthews Band & The Specials...think that about covers what I've been listening to most over the last week or so.

The People's Chimp

I'm currently digging:

 

best coast

vivian girls

dum dum girls

wavves

veronica falls

 

The theme here being scuzz pop, fuzzy punk wave or whatever genre name HRO has given it this week, plus a strong showing from female vocalists/female bands in particular.

 

I'm still loving a lot from the electronic scene but nothing has really grabbed me yet, and as well as that I'm listening to a lot of reggae and dubstep. I'm really back into 1982 classic eek-a-mouse and his wa do dem album, perfect summer time tunage, with ganja smuggling my stand out track.

 

Radio 3 has been getting a lot of listens on the way to and from work, perfect to chill out and wash the day away during a fifteen minute drive home.

Stupid Sexy Flanders

I got Professor Green's album a couple of weeks ago and I've had it on just about every day since then. If you're into rap he's like an English Eminem. My bird has "borrowed" it now though, so I'm back on Arctic Monkeys and Last Shadow Puppets.

I shuffle my iTunes, pick the first 5 albums that those songs came from and stick them on my iPod for a week or two.

Dave Matthews Band. Can't stop listening to them at the moment.

 

I mentioned how much I love DMB in the pub on Saturday and was shot down for being middle of the road.

 

Brilliant band.

Mainly;

 

Arcade Fire, Mogwai, Lali Puna, Menomena, Grizzly Bear, PJ Harvey and Boards of Canada.

 

 

 

 

You two are my new favourites, congrats!

 

 

Liquidator, what sort of electronic stuff were you into before? I'll assume you've heard Errors because you seem to know your music...

Seen errors a few times, and always enjoyed them. A couple of times they were supporting Mogwai (talk about a quality line up) and up at connect. You always see the boy with the beanie at sleazys and the like.

 

Electronic stuff, how long have you got? There's just so much out there, but here are a few links to some interesting mixes:

 

http://www.spannered.org/

 

http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2010/04/zzks-el-remol-n-gives-away-new-m

 

I tend to download mixes from blogs and places like fader, xl8r, resident advisor....

Errors are playing Liquid Room in October with Twilight Sad, should be pretty special!

 

I've used Spannered before but never seen xlr8r, pretty good. I use last.fm (laziness) to really search through them all.

 

 

I'd reccommend listening to Three Trapped Tigers if you haven't already. Quite Errors/Battles sort of stuff, just got told about them the other day. Very, very good indeed.

Actually just realised I have hardly listened to any music since I broke my headphones.

 

Spend about 2 hours a day travelling aswell, so it wasn't the greatest time to break them

Twilight Sad

We were promised Jetpacks

 

It's gone very Scottish in my ear canal these days.

 

More worryingly, I've just got logic express on my computer so will be making an attempt to put out some talentless pap for people to listen to.

Forgot about We Were Promised Jetpacks as well! Brilliant. Also a Belgian band called Absynthe Minded are decent.

 

 

Logic express....?

Logic Express is a better version of garage band on the mac - I'm going to crack the music industry despite a distinct lack of talent! Debut Album is slated for early next year.

I'll be seeing Mark Lanegan twice in the coming weeks - once at the Liquid Room and again at the Glasgow ABC with Isobel Campbell.

It's all generic pish. Mundane images, few words and plastered across everywhere. I hate global advertising. All they care about is a presence rather than any actual creative idea. You can put that in your study.

 

Sorry for the rant!

And some Sebastian Ingrosso.

 

 

Good Choice, him and Steve Angello are top notch. I like alot of house music.. Swedish House Mafia are on form just now.

 

But my main love for music lies with Hardstyle and Dutch and Italian Hardcore :woot: (not for the faint hearted.) Noisecontrollers, Zatox, Zany, Brennan Heart, Technoboy for the hardstyle scene.. and Korsakoff(tidyy), Kasparov, Angerfist, Art of Fighters and Noize Suppressor .. Many more greeat dj's to name though :thumbsup:

Listening to a lot of the bands on the Edinburgh scene recently:

 

The Ok Social Club http://www.myspace.com/theoksocialclub

The 10:04's

The Stagger Rats

The Nature Boys

The Mixups (well, Glasgow)

 

Been also picking up a lot of old albums that I've never given much of a chance before and listened to them. The Doors, Small Faces and Pink Floyd's first albums. Lou Reed's 'Transformer'.

 

Have also listened to some hip-hop off and on, bought Eminem's new album (pretty good) and Mobb Deep's 'The Infamous' (very good).

The boy who trapped the sun - Fireplace. Stornaways lo-fi troubadour. Sounds like Ray Lamontagne on some tracks.

Brilliant band.

 

Middle if the road, Jesus.

 

Saw DMB at the O2 Arena last year. Best live band I've ever seen. Tight as a gnat's chuff.

Not the easiest to find but I just found it on HMV online, cheers. I don't like buying MP3s (or dodgy sites) and Spotify is pants for mix albums.

Following a small cd binge last weekend, currently playing on The Brow's turntable of doom are the following;

 

I am Kloot - The Sky at Night (brilliant mellow tunes. Completely underrated band)

 

UNKLE - Where Did The Night Fall (off to see them at Electric Picnic in 3 weeks!)

 

Band of Horses - Infinite Arms (not as good as the first album but still decent)

 

Eels - Hombre Loco (decent enough, but just feel over the last couple albums they have become a bit 'same old')

 

Erland Oye - DJ Kicks (my favourite mix album ever. Lost it whilst moving house so bought it again)

I am Kloot are great. Criminally underrated, but in a way I think they prefer to be like that, quietly doing their thing. I actually discovered them in France waaay back in 2001 when their first album came out, it was getting a fair bit of promotion in FNAC and regular play on Couleur Trois.

 

A lot of people say that about this mix, it's pretty good likes, only really heard it at a few mates, might go and get it myself.
