What are you listening to right NOW?

Now listening to White Willow's "Ignis fatuus" which I feel pretty much the same about. Light symphonic progrock, not as cheesy as their "Sacrament" album, but still nothing to click my tongue enthusiastically about.

you need to put that on repeat for a few hours.

i'm listening to pan y regaliz "magi colors."

Ween's "Freedom of '76"
Critters Buggin's "BH Goes to a Freak"
John Frusciante's cover of Bad Brains' "The Big Takeover"
Miles Davis' "Black Satin"
311's "Running"
Bob Marley's "Small Axe"

It's on "Small Axe" right now. I have no idea what's next. I think I made this mix to listen to while riding my bike.

I currently being transported far, far away by Harmonia's "Deluxe".

Roni Size remix of a shitload of Soul Coughing songs (bad-fuckin-ass!)
Beastie Boys' "And Me"
Jimi Hendrix' "If 6 Was 9"
Bjork's "Big Time Sensuality"
Sly and the Family Stone's "Dance to The Music"*
Beck "Whiskey-Faced Radioactive Blowdryer Lady"

*this was off an LP, I was smokin' some DANK while making this mix, and it skipped during the drum-break on the beat...about 7 minutes go by until I'm like "wait, WHAT THE SHIT?", kick the stereo, and it goes right into the song like it was meant to be that way; I played this for my buddy and he was like "damn is this live? that drum break is AWESOME!". He smokes way more weed than I ever have or ever will, btw.

sorta demarnia-ish, very nice.

The Belles - Melvin

Scot Walker 4

Sathanas Necrocunt "Baptized in Necrotic Vomit"

(I was going to post "Hellish Sadist" but that's only eleven seconds long and by the time the board was done loading it was already over)

Adam F - Circles

Marcel Fengler - mnml ssgs mix14

my roomie playing queen - jazz in the next room

UGK - Underground

Toyko Jihen - Kabuki

j geils band - full house

just cued up used copy i bought for $2, cuz everybody had such great things to say about it on the j geils thread. sounds like king khan & the shrines took a LOT of pointers from this record, though it's hardly an unfamiliar sound. "first i look at the purse" would fit in seamlessly on three hairs & you're mine or what is. "homework" is more sultry, but no less ott. nice.

i'm sold. i'll download on patrol.

hey daniel, glad you got that message. dunno whether or not you've downloaded anything yet, but my take is that heavy deeds is the more burning, intense & rock-oriented of the two albums, big debt to lysergic heavy psyche of the 60s & 70s, coming off like funky hawkwind or some shit. tunes and playing recall acid rock and dr. john style voodoo funk, with some talking heads/eno style 2nd hand africanisms. on patrol is more hazy and abstract, with much sparer and less frenzied guitar playing (not that stallones ever gets all that frenzied anyway). tunes are less direct, more hypnotic & intuitive, almost accidental seeming, but in a good way. big dub influence, but debts to direct precedents in 60s/70s rock are comparatively few.

j geils is some corny shit. digging it when they're on fire, but the shtick in between gets old fast.

Daniel Esq you should know that Sun Araw's music doesn't come with the usual verse/chorus structure, or even an obvious sense of progression. what he does with his chanted voices, looped guitar, dub effects, and conga pulses is create a huge vibrating canyon of movement-in-place that feels shamanic, a unique blend of blues and soul signifiers floating in space. So, not songs per se, but very trance-inducing music for seekers
I like the "Heavy Deeds" album but prefer the sparser dubbier aspects of "On Patrol"

The Sword's new record, Warp Riders
