I'm listening to Radio Clyde as Goldfrapp will be on doing a live session in a little while tonight... :)

[diamente]

It'a a really pretty evening, nice and cool, and I'm feeling very nicely chilled. Listening to REM's gorgeous Automatic for the People to make me feel even more relaxed. Skipped 'Everybody Hurts' cos I've listened to it too much, but 'Star Me Kitten' is on right now, and I think that this might just be the dreamiest song ever. It's so lush and tranquil. Mmmm, glad to listen to this album again, it's been a while since i listened to it last.

[tattmaylor]

Mia - Hieb & Stichfest

It's been the soundtrack to the weekend (sorry nieghbours!!!!)

...they are a german electro-punk-pop band... kinda like female fronted shouty Bis/Peaches/Deus/FranzFerdinand type thing (and that's a tight squezze!!) ...but it's so brillinatly UP and unselfconscious!!! No one is doing this in the UK, I would so love to see them live but they only tour Germany!!! oh! Berlin we should do a Goldfrapp meet there!!!

...anybody heard of them (I borrowed it of a friend who got given it!!), all their websites are inn german!! :(

[TremblingStar]

I've heard of them, not heard anything by them.

Right now: The Neptune's Clones album. There some good songs on here, but some of it is a bit boring.

I really liked NERD at first but haven't listened to it in ages. The Neptunes 'sound' is getting a bit boring now isn't it?

That Kanye West album is really good though (all you hip hop fans)

Listening to The Beatles: Let it Be....Naked

Really love this album, just a great set of tunes. Never used to think that much of it, cos next to Sgt. Pepper's, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour and the White Album it really isn't that special, but on its own terms, it's simply just a class album.

It sounds a million times worse with clothes on, I'm afraid, so the album does have its necessary time and place. Cant listen to it on public transport, sadly.

i love that song "since i left you". i listen to it all the time. it has a really great bittersweet and nostalgic feel. it has that feeling to it that you get at the end of summer on one of those last really sunny and warm days when you realise the summer is almost over. if that makes any sense.

[themoodfits]

right now i'm listening to "nobody's home" by ulrich schnauss. so gorgeous and serene.

Yep, that's the one! The production of the track is pretty cheesy, 80's at it's worst...

Now it's Björk and All is Full of Love for me...all IS full of love!

Right now:

Cerys Matthews went in and out of rehab, then had a baby, then released a folk-style solo record ('Cock-a-hoop'), which did nothing, which brings us up to date... Oh and Catatonia's guitarist teached at my housemate's old school before leaving upo getting a record deal.

Tatty - whats up with Sleeper? I picked it up second hand for a couple of quid the other day, I could just remember liking the singles, I'm re-appraising Britpop at the mo. A lot is rubbish but, its so much better than what is in the charts at the mo. it has an iota of artistic merit. That number one is dreadful: 'Fuck off you slag' or something... You can't even hear it so much is edited out.

Anyway right now:

Beastie Boys - Ill Communication

Yes!

**starts jumping around room**

[Elska]

Inspired by the Kate Bush thread in the Music forum, I'm listening to Never for Ever by, yes, Kate Bush. Now playing Breathing...a sinister, and really a very sad track, I have to love it!

[KaruMoo]

:D classic of a tune Elska, im listening to the track that comes before that, army dreamers :( should stop listening to kate bush she can be a tad depressing.

[Elska]

probably my favourite track on the album (even though Delius and Blow Away get pretty close, too), though you're right, it's really, really sad...but most of my favourite songs are sad anyway.

[diamente]

Well, I'm listening to something that's the total opposite of depressing. 'Top Jimmy' by Van Halen, which is poodle-haired guitar rock at its most fun! Plus, my name's Jimi, so there's a fair amount of amusement listening to the lyrics, especially the line:

'Top Jimmy swings, he's got the love'

not to mention the end of the song, where all the band just yell 'Oohhhhh, Jimmy!'

Of course, if MTV-endorsed pop metal from the 80's just isn't your sort of thing, then this song'll probably be more depressing than 'Exit Music (For a Film)' by Radiohead.

Yeah, Blow Away and Delius are my faves on the album, and I really love Egypt too.

sad songs are a penchant of mine too, that or songs of absolute joy. I think this is the reason i love the Yoshimi album by The Flaming Lips, which is both extremely exhilarating and extremely melancholy all in one.

[Danni]

Hopelessly devoted to you on magic...I blame you Jimi!

[diamente]

Heh heh. I accept no responsibility. I blame the song, and all its passion and heartbreaking beauty. And John Travolta's reflection in the little pool. 'I guess mine's not the first heart broken....'

Listening to the fantastic 'Money Changes Everything', a rather quality instrumental B-side by The Smiths.

I love that song.

When I saw Radiohead at the MEN last year it all was really quiet as Thom started singing, not a noise from thousands of people when one voice piped up: "Cheer up, Thom". Dead funny.

In fact they get too much stick for being sulky, I like their sense of humour. hmm,

listening to:

Adem - Homesongs

[linoleum]

after Cardiff Duran gig last night...

Yeah, I hate the whole Radiohead are miserable bastards thing, though Exit Music would not be the first thing i played to an unbeliever to quell their assumptions, as its rather bleak! I remember that episode of Father Ted where that miserable priest learns how to experience joy in life, and then is dragged right back down into the dumps when he listens to Exit Music on the way back home from Craggy Island!

But songs like Planet Telex, Subterrenean Homesick Alien, The Tourist, Nice Dream, Sail to the Moon and Meeting in the Aisle are just beyond beautiful, really, really gorgeous. And I Might Be Wrong is a funky bastard.

Still, it's the Smiths that get the worst rep for that kind of miserability (is that a word?), though that's mainly due to songs like Heaven Knows I'm MISERABLE now and How Soon is Now being the only ones most people have heard. The Smiths happen to be one of the funniest bands ever, and that's in a good way, and some of their songs, like Sheila Take a Bow, just make me want to throw my homework on the fire, and take a chance with a couple of kooks hung up on romancing......

Listening to The Rolling Stones: 'Shattered'

[rabbit pie]

Hi everyone. New to the site but big Goldfrapp fan since Felt Mountain.
Listening to:
Zero 7 - both albums always just a stones throw away
Sia - luvvly Australian chanteusse
Koop - Waltz for Koop - 2 nice men fro Sweden in dresses.

But top of my playlist has to be Ilya - They died for beauty. What a grower......even the banjo's are cool!!!

ps I needed more than 1/2 hr at DD in Nottingham. Just fell out of the pub to hear 'Strict Machine'. Bugger!!!!

[diamente]

Hey there rabbit pie! Welcome to the board! :)

Yeah, half an hour was such a tease, wasn't it? I wants more!

Feeling embarrassed, but I'm listening to the outrageously OTT 'Ghostdancing' by Simple Minds, which was made during their 'stopped being good, started growing mullets' phase. I love the song mind, and I'm thoroughly enjoying listening to it now. Makes me wanna grow the ol mullet, get shoulder pads, and get me and the non existent band to the top of a mountain and blast out empty powerchords. Sorry, I'm blabbering.

Welcome again, rabbit pie. mmmmm, pie.

[rabbit pie]

Thanks for your warm & welcoming words, Diamante.

Simple Minds, eh? I have a feeling in my water(yeuukk!!) that they are due a big revival. Charlie's back and Jim Kerr has removed his head from up his ass and I have heard from peeps in the know that and album & touring is on the cards.
Yours, reaching for the 'rapid hair growth' formula.
RP

mmmmm.....forbidden donut.

[diamente]

Blimey, what's going on? Prince has actually made a decent album (from what i've read) and now Simple Minds are getting their shit together again? What next? The Smiths reforming?: oh, if only..... ah, the 80's. Bless 'em.

Mmmmmyeah, forbidden donut. Gotta love it! It's sacre-licious, i tells you.

Listening to the utterly splendid 'Crystal Days' by Echo and the Bunnymen, which for some reason, I picture being the soundtrack to some piss-up in a pirate movie. The hero's just come back from defeating the evil villain, and now he's getting well and truly plastered with his mates and the townspeople, and 'Crystal Days' is playing on in the, er...stereo. Ever since seeing 14th century folk boogie to 'Golden Years' by David Bowie in A Knight's Tale, anything is possible.

[rabbit pie]

Medieval minstrals funkin' it up on their lutes & hurdy-gurdys. Sounds surreal.

Top five medieval pop hits:

I've got you under my skin
Play that funky music, plague boy
Sex and drugs and Manglewurzles
I just can't get enough of your boils
Bitter Sweet Dysentry

Sorry...think I better go and get a life.

I know what you mean! Sure, the Radiohead film Meeting People is Easy gave a pretty gloomy picture of the band, but that was years ago! The people who think Radiohead are miserable should have a listen to the music scene around here, most Finnish songs are about cheery subjects like mortality, and that's the music that charts!

I'm listening to Waist by Sonic Youth, from Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, which was my favourite album when I was about 14 and, amazingly, still sounds really, really, good to me!

You'll be glad to hear that we've just been given the Rasmus over here. If I met the fella I'd take those feathers out of his hair and shove them up his arse.

Diamente - as for the Smiths being one of the funniest bands ever, I totally agree. 'Girlfriend In A Coma' when it goes "bye bye baby bye bye bye bye" And as for your 80's-philia; we shall never see the like again, such a crazy decade. The world's most powerful man was a (bad) actor and Teenwolf was made.

Well, I can't stand them either...I only wish I'd taken some photos of the band when I saw them live around 1996 when they were a starting teenage band, I'd be selling those pictures on ebay now while they're still enjoying their 15 minutes of international fame...

I'm listening to Kate Bush again, now it's the "difficult" The Dreaming. I think this might actually be my second favourite of her albums, right after Hounds of Love!

Ah, Teenwolf. Such a classic. Unlike the lamentable Teen Wolf Too, which was shite. Nice choice of music Elska, The Dreaming is an amazing album, one of Kate's very best! And cheer up, Sandy!

'Winter' by The Rolling Stones. Now I usually listen to the Stones for rock and funk and a good time, but this is one of the few Stones songs that's genuinely lovely and really, really sweet.

Dashboard Confessional-Am I missing

The Rolling Stones: Can't You Hear Me Knocking

Unbelievably fine, this.

[Danni]

Courtney Love-mono

Stevie Wonder: Golden Lady

This song is so beautiful, so lovely, so joyous. It should be banned.

[DrFrisby]

Jimi Hendrix - Easy Rider :cool:

[evilpink_queeny]

the welsh rockers......lost prophets - last train home!

[diamente]

I'm listening to one of the best albums ever created.

Also known as Sulk by the Associates. Recommended to anyone with ears. And a soul.

[Danni]

Radiohead-No suprises

[diamente]

The Clash: Tommy Gun

[tattmaylor]

...continuing a search through my old records saved from the bin at my parents tghis weekend ( their stuff - not very exciting Classical/Choral and Cliff Richard is about the lot- although I am looking forwarrd to the Popcorn album!!)

At moment the excellent Lush - Gala

...earlier Holst - The Planets

...and er...even earlier My ABC record!!!

[diamente]

The Experience of Swimming by Japan. This piece of music is so evocative, it just takes me to other places. It starts off so chilly and eerie, and as it goes on, it becomes really exotic and calming. God, i love this band so much!

[evilpink_queeny]

duran duran - girls on film! :D

[Danni]

Jewel-leave the lights on
hmmmm

[diamente]

Nice choice, queeny! My fave Duran song. Superfunky.

[TremblingStar]

Diamente - Lost Boys soundtrack is fantastic!

Right now:

Brian Eno - Apollo soundtracks.

[diamente]

Spooky! I've been listening to the Apollo soundtrack a lot today as well, along with the Blade Runner soundtrack too for maximum bliss.

Heh heh, The Lost Boys soundtrack is a mixed bag. Some of it is truly divine (I Still Believe, Beauty Has Her Way, Lost in the Shadows, Good Times are superb in their own silly way) and some of it is not, like that rotten Roger Daltrey version of Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, that lame song that uses a load of baseball metaphors (it's playing in the video store in the film) and then there's Cry Little Sister, which sounds fantastic in the film when they just have the children's vocals on it (dead spooky) but is made a little lame by having some prat sing silly lyrics all over it on the album.

Oh, and People are Strange by my beloved Bunnymen. Probably one of their weakest songs, yet one of their most successful. What a world....

[softlad]

.........Prefab Sprout - 'Jordan: The Comeback'..........

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
Is it Love your after ( or just a good time) - Rose Royce

Good day for the bargin bin!

Frost: Melodica (99p)
FC Kahuna : Another fine mess (1.99p)
Zoot Woman : Zoot Woman (99p)

..er and something called 'Crap Card Company' !! Great name - but shit music - straight in bin!

Still haven't beaten the 'Yes Sir (extended) mix' CDR for 35p though!!!!:) That was a very plasing day!!

Listening to Frost at mo! It's no Frou Frou ...but sounds promising!

[diamente]

Nice choices there, Sandii!

I'm listening to a compilation, the best songs on it include:

Goldfrapp: Paper Bag
Roxy Music: Beauty Queen
The Passions: I'm in Love with a German Film Star
The Divine Comedy: The Certainty of Chance
King of Woolworths: Bakerlooooooo
Sigur Ros: Svefn -g-englar
The Beach Boys: Dont Worry Baby

[tattmaylor]

Nice choices also diamente!

I love FinDe Siecle, my fav Divine Comedy album. I thought they were a bit silly at first ...but FDS had alot of depth (see track you picked). A friend of mine is a big fans so we've had the new album on at work. It's growing on me! It's got some hilarious lyrics as usual:

"Steve McQueen,
Jumped the first one clean,
but the great escape, he tried to make,
Was not to be.
Maybe next time Steve?"

[diamente]

Yeah, that album is very good, indeed. I cant remember the name of this particular song on the album, but it was the most bombastic thing I'd ever heard! It was quite scary actually! And Generation Sex is a peach!

[softlad]

Steve McQueen - we're back to Prefab Sprout :p.....

[evilpink_queeny]

bon jovi - you give love a bad name

[softlad]

.........along with hair and teeth!

[evilpink_queeny]

i like your cheeky monkey...:D

[softlad]

I like your sultry girly. ;)

[caribou]

Killing Joke - Follow The Leaders

Different lyrics on the version I'm listening to.

You know, despite being apocalyptic heavy rock, I just realised this kind of a disco record. :eek: :D

[themoodfits]

stiff little fingers "sex and drugs and rock and roll" and the tear garden "you and me and rainbows"

[TremblingStar]

Boards of Canada - Music has the right to Children

[caribou]

Killing Joke - Unspeakable

More relentless tribal drumming and searing guitars, repeating over and over. When that guitar starts off.... whoa! :D

A session version, it's faster and sounds rather more chirpy than the album version.

"I wonder who chose the colour scheme, it's very niiiiiice..." :cool:

[TremblingStar]

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free

[KaruMoo]

Pulp - common people, is that sad

[Danni]

Sarah Mclachlan-fallen..god bless the sharon osbourne show and my random channel flicking

Double-yey! I just heard the first single as well as seeing the video (on MTV of all places), and I really liked it! I can't wait to get the album...

Currently I'm not listening to anything, I'm supposed to be studying :o

[diamente]

I hope the studying's going sweet, Elska, though I always found a little music helped me to study. Nothing too good though, cos then I would just forget what I'm reading and jump around my bedroom playing air guitar to Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven'. Eeek, I've said too much.

Anyway, I'm taking a trip down nostalgia lane (not good for someone who's only 22) and listening to Mansun's superb Attack of the Grey Lantern, which still sounds very lush and excellent today. Phew.

Heh heh. I love the fact that the guitar riff to 'She Makes My Nose Bleed' is very, very, very similar to the one in Bryan Adams' 'Run to You'. That's why I loved this group, they always paid reference to the true greats.

Aye, but there's nowt better than "Different Class" for "voice training" in the car at high speed. And "Something Changed" is a truly beautiful song.

[Jennifer]

Pixies - Cactus

I love it I love it

[durham]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! The Pixies.

Surfer Rosa for ever and ever amen.

Full Stop.

[diamente]

mmmmmm. Pixies. Great band. I'm going to listen to them today, cos it's been a long, long while since i experienced the 'big, big love'.

And Pulp? Oh, bestill my fragile heart! Oh yes, Pulp are amazing, and 'Common People' still stands head and shoulders over all those.....shudder, Britpop anthems, cos it had a frickin wicked tune and great lyrics.

And i agree with Durham, 'Something Changed' is awesome. So beautiful and lovely, it always make me weep a little bit with happiness.

Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama

I love this track as much as I hate Comfortably Numb.

[evilpink_queeny]

im now listening to scissor sisters - mary....i love this album!!!

[Duncan]

Despite hating Comfortably Numb with a passion, I have to say it's a bloody good album otherwise.

[evilpink_queeny]

have to admit comfortably numb is prob least fav but think its cos it was so overplayed everywhere.

[KaruMoo]

im listening to hair (again) yay

[diamente]

Goldfrapp: Forever.

This song.....it's so beautiful. So beautiful. It just breaks my heart to listen to it.

Yeah, its fantastic, the last two songs are bona fide tear-jerkers. Check out 'Blinded by the Lights' on the new album as well, absolute 'choon'.

And... I'm going to see them tonight... YEAH!

I've been a fan since 'Has It Come To This' came out absolutely years ago before the first album, and I'm chuffed good honest music is gettingt thismuch attention.

Right now listening to: Boards of Canada - Music has the Right to Children (fast becoming the soundtrack to my revision)

[evilpink_queeny]

im listening to green day - basket case love it!!!

[Elska]

Dedicaetd to the One I Love - The Mamas & The Papas

[KaruMoo]

Go for it Elska ... what a cool tune. I have an inkling for some mamma's and papps's too .. yay.

[Elska]

They're great, aren't they? I'm listening to the Mama's & Papas greatest hits, every track is golden, even the predictable cover versions (Dancing on the Streets, My Girl) that would generally be boring!

[KaruMoo]

I owned that cd when I was 15 but I borrowed it to someone and never got it back :(

Forgot the name of it but I like the song that goes when love came I thought it would be all bows and bells ... something like that ... my its been along time.

[evilpink_queeny]

im listening to robbie williams- road to mandaly

[LAnights]

Talk Talk: It's My Life

The Cure - Disintegration
(Lullaby is a timeless song - keep skiping some of the other tracks though - haven't played it for years!)

Rosie Deighton - Briused (single)

+ Cathy Davey Sampler

anybody heard of her. She's going for that PJ Harvey thing but with less edge. Suppporting Graham Coxon next week can't decide whether to go!

[evilpink_queeny]

Anyway... I'm listening to some samples I've downloaded from the Radio 1 website for a competition to remix the new Faithless single (Mass Destruction) - should be a bit of a larf. I thought I might invent a new genre especially for the remix - how about Chop-Up-Drum-and-Horn-tronica?

[evilpink_queeny]

im listening to radio one - kanye west + brandy

[diamente]

Royksopp: Sparkssssss

[diamente]

Four Tet: Rounds

This is one of those 'critically acclaimed' albums that gets virtually no exposure and i previously had no means of hearing any of it sadly, and wasn't prepared to fork out sixteen quid on it, which is a pain as the reviews I had read on it were nothing short of ecstatic. Thing is, I'm a poor lad, and I cant afford to risk spending that much money on an album i might not like. I'm a 'cut-price sale whore', I am.

So boooo. Didn't get to hear it. That is until i saw it in my local library the other day, and when i did, i pounced.

The album was well worth the act of pouncage, as it's rather fantastic. Anyone here heard it?

[linoleum]

Yep the New Gold Dream stuff is lushness indeed Mr Diamente

;)

[diamente]

New Gold Dream? Are you talking about those simple minded geezers who used to be fantastic? If so, then yes. That is lushness with a capital 'mmmmmmmyes'.

[linoleum]

I am. I am .Indeedly.

Them who I saw when I was *Mini Sandii* in 82 down me local Locarno club with China Crisis in support .....

*sigh*

Happy daysssss
:)

[diamente]

You lucky fiefhg;fehfgupf;swdwegdweaskhada, you!

I'd have loved to have seen them live. When they were good, slender and mullet free.

Oh well.....(sighs pensively)

And now I'm 'rockin' out' to 'Bobby Jean' by Bruce Springsteen! I love this song! It's really happy sounding but quite sad too.

The album was well worth the act of pouncage, as it's rather fantastic. Anyone here heard it? YES YES YES!!! It's one of my favourite albums! I know some people on here think it's a bit overrated, but I love it from start to finish.

Highlights for me:
> Anything with harps or plucked strings in it
> Hands - where the beat first comes in and gives some pattern to the jazz noodling sample
> The off beat sample that comes in about 1m30s into She Moves She
> First Thing
> Unspoken - the way it builds up, gets a bit mad about half way through, then just drops back to the essentials - gorgeous piano loop as well
> The stripped out breaks all through As Serious As Your Life Is
> The rhythms and tunings used all through And They Look Broken Hearted - I just love this track...
> The squeaky toy on Slow Jam

Truly an exceptional album - worth every penny. Amazon.co.uk have it for £6.97 at the moment, by the way... I still don't resent paying £12 for it though.



By the way, surprise surprise - that's what I'm listening to at the moment...

[diamente]

Yay! Glad you love it Kav! It's a real immediate album, i've only listened to it once and i think it's brilliant! I will listen to it again tonight!

[softlad]

.....................Thin Lizzy - 'Johnny The Fox'..........

[diamente]

Yes: 'Yours is No Disgrace'

I love that kick-arse guitar depth charge that happens during sections of the song. How do i convey how it sounds? Well, it's a rather 'thrusty' sound.... that's the best I can come up with!

Not familiar with the track, but I'm intrigued... I like the idea of thrusty guitar depth charges. I'll have to seek out the track for educational purposes...

Listening to Autechre - Draft 7.30

[diamente]

The song can be found on 'The Yes Album', which I love to bits. There's also a song on that album called 'Starship Trooper' which is amazing. Both songs can also be found on their 'Ultimate Yes' best of too, and if you get that, you get 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' as well! Is that a good thing? I'd like to think so.

[Kavokei]

Err, I'll look out for it, but I think I'll see if it's at the library first... I must admit there is quite a long list of CDs I'm after at the moment... talking of which, has anyone heard the Keane album yet?

Listening to a load of Goldie Looking Chain download tracks now. You knows it!

[diamente]

Tell me about it mate, i've got a preposterously long list of albums i wanna get. The most immediate purchase i want to make is 'Kaleidoscope' and 'Juju' by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

[Elska]

Suspiria intro by Goblin, from the soundtrack of the horror film Suspiria, from my soundtrack tune compilation...The track sounds very creepy, in a fantastic sort of way!

[diamente]

Wow, Suspiria's soundtrack kicks arse completely! It's probably the best horror film ever in my opinion, and the music is astonishing. I love Goblin's music for Dario Argento's films, especially the stuff from Deep Red, which is like scary and funky at the same time! And the main theme tune from Tenebrae, which is really catchy and cool.

[Elska]

Well, I haven't actually seen the film, but if the soundtrack is anything to go by (and it usually is) it's got to be a great and very frightening film!

Now playing Bullit main theme by Lalo Schifrin...turning to Rosemary's Baby sung by Mia Farrow in a few seconds...what avery Goldfrappy sound that latter one has!

[diamente]

Oooo, see it Elska, it's a superb film, but it divides opinion harshly. People I know either think it's fantastic or a load of rubbish. I think it's a masterpiece, and I don't think there's been a horror film (or many films, come to think of it) that looks as good as this one, with the exception of Inferno, which is a semi-sequel to Suspiria, which is not as good, but looks beautiful.

Listening to Morrissey: 'Irish Blood, English Heart'. Cool tune.

[Mr.Dorian]

Massive Attack "Tears"...Delicious!!!

[diamente]

Hey there Mr. Dorian, welcome to the board! :)

Listening to 'New Killer Star' by David Bowie, a superb song and by far and away the best thing on his new, strictly 'meh' album Reality.
