SolarGarlic Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Howdy all....Just wondering what music people are hooked on these days? What artist/group has been your "go to" guy/gal/disc/playlist over the last while? I'm looking for something new and am open to all options and opinions.Lately I have been hooked on all things Sadies and think they are my favourite Canadian band right now. Ive also been into the latest Wilco release.What are you hooked on? I know this thread always comes up but it's always a good read.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassedOutGuy Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) Totally agree with Sky Blue Sky... had it on in the truck tonight... Ive found that to be in my top 3 for cd's this year... Easy Tiger by Ryan Adams is also up there but my newest find thats blowing my mind is Wookiefoot... now i know they've been around for a few years but these guys are tonnes of fun... tonnes of smelly wookie fun...Post script... dont let the name wookiefoot scare you away... think sublime meets Bob Marley meets dj electronica meets rock... a couple of releases are available on onik but i havent found any live shows yet...

Guest Low Roller Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm in a holding pattern right now awaiting the new Radiohead album. Which is coming. Soon. Really.::Rocking on the floor muttering to self "Radiohead is coming. Radiohead is coming."::But in the meantime I've been on a download frenzy trying to find some stuff that would satiate my relentless appetite for music that is good.Here's what I'm listening to currently:- Califone "Roots & Crowns"- Maps "We Can Create"- Fionn Regan "The End of History"- LCD Soundsystem "Sound of Silver"- Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins "Rabbit Fur Coat"- Most anything Neil Young- Stretch "Elastique" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm going to have to check out some Ryan Adams. really don't know much about him. SOme of the major players of the summer have been: - Arcade Fire, Neon Bible - Miracle Fortress, Five Roses - Kevin Drew, Spirit If... (posted about it last week, but it dropped like a stone ) - Dead.net Tapers' section tracks. If you haven't checked out the weekly nuggets that Dave Lemieux harvests for download, do it now. - Serge Gainsbourg (yeah, wierd, I know).

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 - Dead.net Tapers' section tracks.That's been my car music now for a couple of months. Pure gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 - Serge Gainsbourg (yeah, wierd, I know).Blane, I think you might like this album: Monsieur Gainsbourg: Revisited. It's a bunch of 'popular' English artists of today re-interpreting his songs. Feist is on there, Cat Power, Portishead, Tricky, Michael Stipe, The Kills, Jarvis Cocker, etc...It's not the same, but I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I think I'm going to become a Run with the Kittens fan. Ween meets White Stripes.Other than that, you know me. Always listening to those crazy New Zealanders' and their reggae. Check out Fat Freddy's Drop, or Rhombus.I also have Neko Case, Rilo Kiley, and The Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense in heavy rotation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolarGarlic Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Neko Case, Jenny Lewis/Rilo Kiley were all over the stereo this summer.I am not really digging the new Rilo Kiley stuff on the myspace though...anyone else listen?

GUITARZAN Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 All I can seem to handle these day's is Canadian Music from the 1980's. In heavy rotation is Bruce Cockburn Live (international version) from 1989. And Oddly enough I downloaded a bunch of records by the Northern Pikes, some really good songs in their collection!

Wow... what a departure. It went from singer songwriter with backing band to full on music project... They really seem to be showcasing the lead guitar player, and have other lead singers?!! And the song writing isn't nearly as good as her last couple of albums.No, do not like it... they're knocking on sell out door forsure. Just like Kanye.

I suppose I will be more curious to hear the next Jenny Lewis/Watson Twins showcase than this Rilo disc....Seeing as how this is more of a band/group effort rather than a Jenny Lewis effort. ahhh change, we just hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at that. August 27th was the switch. Why does the dead have to turn things to shit all the time? It was a great system, came from within their "circle", wasn't excessive (a few tracks, not full shows). Sucks. Not to mention the lame-ass excuse offered for changing, "we didn't think you guys would download the mp3's". Who's going to buy that?Look at the comments made:http://www.dead.net/features/tapers-section/august-27-september-2-2007 Edited September 3, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Who's going to buy that?Nobody because it some of the most complete bullshit I have ever seen spewed. August 27th was the switch? Seems like it has been forever to me.Anyways. Whatever. This fury inside wont subside for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I hope Phil doesn't mind that I downloaded a few cds of choice picks. He's the only one I'd bother to check in with. If anybody wants, pt me and I'll send you copies . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
