Non Metal Now Listening

[Pentagrimes]

I can't handle Katie Kim's voice. Really awful.

I've already been called an insufferable prick on here by some random cunt today, so might as well earn a second pile of abuse by saying you might need your hearing checked.

Good lord

Man's a legend. Had the privilege of seeing him live last year, solo, just him and guitar. It was amazing, never seen anyone attack a guitar like that.

Somehow have managed  to miss both his trips over here lately. Ashamed so I am.

[Pentagrimes]

Misfits - Legacy of Brutality
Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
Autolux - Future Perfect

Leaves is such an amazing album. Flawless discography anyway but picked up the vinyl reissue at last recently, what a way to end their first run

[Eoin McLove]

She sounds like she has a speech impediment.

Leaves is a gorgeous album. I bought the CD in Tower years ago having never heard a note of their music. I'd heard of them but assumed they'd be a typical post-hardcore band. That was the best impulse buy I ever made. 

I haven't checked out any of their other albums. I must remedy that.

[Carnage]

Never heard Unwound before (heard of them alright), listening to Leaves... now. 3 tracks in and it's great stuff, good shout lads.

[Pentagrimes]

Yeah they definitely are from the indie/post hardcore thing but in a scrappy old Sonic Youth/Rites of Spring way. If you've started with Leaves I'd say work backwards in order, rather than jumping through the albums at random. Amazing band in every era.

[Carnage]

Straightaway it brought Sonic Youth, Fugazi, maybe a bit of Slint or Quicksand to mind. I'll get my head around this one first and see how it goes.

[Eoin McLove]

Must give them a go.

[Pentagrimes]

I've a feeling you won't like them

Was listening to Fleetwood Mac - Tango in the Night remastered earlier and I think I prefer the original mix even though the later version is higher fidelity.

Sometimes some of the feeling gets lost in these things.

NIN remaster of Pretty Hate Machine suffered a bit that way as well. Not on all the songs but on some of them anyway. Ringfinger really lost something for example

Slint - Spiderland
Teleportal - Devour

[Mithrandir]

I'm not sure I've posted these here but I've listened to Nuovo Testamento's album Love Lines more in the last year probably more than any metal album. The thing is I don't actually know this type of music enough to compare them to anyone? They call themselves 'italo disco' which is new to me, sounds like 80s electronic pop music but I've been pretty hooked on this since I heard it, so if anyone's familiar with the genre I'd be keen on some recs.

Didn't hit the spot the other night but it sounded ok. I just find myself a bit all over the shop lately sometimes when I'm trying to find something to listen to when I jump into bed. I can't seem to figure out what mood I'm in so I'll listen to a bit of black metal, a bit of goth/post punk, a bit of folk... I can't settle into anything.

Try some house or trance or something. Sounds like I'm taking the piss but I'm not. Even something like Deadmau5' Random Album Title is a good knocker-outer while not being boring. 

And it will help you keep time if you're knocking one out to help yourself sleep as well

[Eoin McLove]

Nah, I hate that stuff. Not my thing at all.
