What Are You in Love with Now?

I'm currently very much feeling Grand Buffet's new album Cigarette Beach after seeing them at a very intimate last-minute surprise set this week. I don't feel as enthusiastic about it as I did about Sparkle Classic, but I've only given it two listens so far and I really, really loved Sparkle Classic.

Et vous?

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 16 January 2003 13:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Geeta you need some Wham! in your life!

Nick - um, what to say really - it's an album with Kate Bush writing marvellously original and good pop songs on one side and on the other making a side-long Fairlight prog suite which is also excellent - and on my CD you then get some remixes and B-Sides and there's not even a duff one among those. One of Marcello's early Church of Me pieces talked about the second side in-depth - have a read of that.

― brg30 (brg30), Friday, 17 January 2003 00:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Secret Machines- September 000
I just got it but it hasn't left my CD player. Tracks 1,2, 4 and 5 and especially infectious. There's nothing particularly fancy about this ep, but I can't get enough of it. It will definitely be at the top of my best of 2002 list when I finally digest all the albums I bought from last year.

The Microphones- The Glow Part 2
I always liked this but I just recently grew to love it.

Yume Bitsu- Golden Vessyl of Sound
Didn't think too much of this after the first few listens but now I love it. This will also be in my top 10 of 2002.

DAT Politics- Plugs Plus
Another one that took a while to set in. The adorable, joyous melody of Pie has been declared by my housemates and I the official theme song of my equally adorable and joyous cat.

― lou (lou), Friday, 17 January 2003 00:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Grupo Niche's song "Cielo De Tambores." It wouldn't be so great if it weren't for what it turns into after about three minutes. Heavy timbale comes in and the chorus does some sort of strange harmonic bend* which is typical in salsa. In a way I love it because it is what I found offputting about salsa a while back.

*Non-musician talk.

― Rockist Scientist, Friday, 17 January 2003 15:31 (twenty-three years ago)

interesting list, brg30. center of the universe is absolutely phantastic. howe is on top form on that album. he rocks harder than neil whose guitar noise/rock must have been a blueprint for center.

i am slowly getting lost in "100th window". it's a slow grower. not a lot happening at first listen. it's seems all to be about texture.

I was streaming Radio1 one night and heard these DJs Bobby Friction and Nihal playing some mean Asian inflected UK Garage and Hip Hop. I actually recorded the show to disc and listen to it all the time. The standout tracks are:

Jeff, are you thinking of that song with Biggie? If so, I think it's called "Realest Nigga" and its fantastic. But not necessarily because of 50 cent...

Anyway, my list:

-Dizzie Rascal "I love you"
-Iron Maiden "Deja Vu"
-Esoteric - Metamorphogenesis

I've been listening to stuff I'm debating selling for the most part. Doing an CD from each letter A-Z, then a cassette from each letter, than vinyl. Then repeat until I'm fine with my music collection.

But aside from that I've been listening to the Stones' Beggars Banquet, Replacements' Let It Be, Def Lep's Hysteria, Red House Painters' Rollercoaster album, Good Charlotte's Young And The Hopeless, and the Cocteau Twins' Pink Opaque.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 18 January 2003 19:40 (twenty-three years ago)

"But aside from that I've been listening to the Stones' Beggars Banquet, Replacements' Let It Be, Def Lep's Hysteria, Red House Painters'Rollercoaster album, Good Charlotte's Young And The Hopeless, and the Cocteau Twins' Pink Opaque."

Really, Anthony....I cannot get my head around your fascination for Good Charlotte, who are just plainly indefensible (and zealous, god-fearing Christians, by the way). They -- Not Yes, Not King Crimson, Not ELP -- are the *ANTITHESIS* of Punk Rock. Dressed up like to look like little skate rats, but with a faith-based agenda. SHUN THEM!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 18 January 2003 20:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm gonna start a thread on GC soon with a BIG explanation. But not today. It will take a little time...

but have you actually heard the whole album? It sure ain't my antithesis of punk. Then again, punk for me is just people nakedly voicing their problems with things and themselves over loud guitars. If they get too happy or too cryptic or add enough guitar solos, it becomes metal.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 18 January 2003 20:52 (twenty-three years ago)

or if it plods too much. if its too danceable, it becomes hard rock.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 18 January 2003 20:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I should also note that when I heard the singles from their first album, I totally would have agreed with you. But the new one is a different beast entirely. The ass munchers in Simple Plan probably have the soooo-not-punk slot for me now.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

(seriously though, every good or great album i've heard this year so far has been in "indie" or certainly "rock". someone needs to fix this.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Kenan, I just had a big Nuggets phase a few weeks ago. That stuff is unbelievably good. Look forward to reading your thoughts.

Kate, I really really want to see the FAP argument between you and Chris Barrus over this one. He's been insulting it nonstop for days.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm listening to the new Donna Summer (not that one), This Needs To Be Your Style, and I'm being totally blown away by it. This takes the whole mash-up concept to a completely new level.

I really can't hear Linkin Park's "Faint" enough. That faux-violin hook! That breakdanceable beat! I either want to spin around on my back when I hear it or pretend I'm Neo in that Matrix Kung fu scene.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 13 December 2003 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm also really into the Roches right now. I've got their first three albums and am debating whether I need to dig deeper.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 14 December 2003 00:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I really love the song "Losing True" by the Roches. A lot. I respect the rest, but that one song lives in the stratosphere.

That early Scritti Politti compilation has not left my car stereo for the whole week, and the rest of the time nearly every song on there is simply caught in my head. It's past time for these to get properly re-released..

― jleideck (Jon L), Sunday, 14 December 2003 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still in love with "Cielo de Tambores." (If anything, I like the total package more than I used to.)

Phantom Garden (Zeena Parkins + Ikue Mori). Picked this up yesterday because the review in the last WIRE made it seem right up one of my alleys. It's wonderful.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Sunday, 22 August 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I've just started getting into the Fall in the last year, but it's blossomed into a full-on love affair with my recently purchased 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong 2CD comp....brilliant comp of a brilliant band.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Sunday, 22 August 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

durutti column's lc and budd/eno's plateaux of mirror. two irresistible understated albums. plateaux is a miracle of a piano record sounding like wrapped in cotton with a wee bit of eno's synthesizer treatments for an even more otherworldly atmosphere.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Sunday, 22 August 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Curt Kirkwood's songwriting! Turns out he never stopped writing songs as good as Oh Me and Plateau.

Haruomi Hosono eternally!

The Beatles, yet again! I listen to music digitally anyway, so I've sacrilegiously "spruced up" The White Album by putting Not Guilty at the beginning of Side C (I don't really care for Birthday so I don't play Side C often enough, because I don't really want to hear Birthday, but now it starts with Not Guilty so I'm golden) and Hey Jude at the beginning of Side D (I don't listen to their non-album singles often enough) and replacing the stringsy-Martiny Good Night with the "Take 10 With A Guitar Part From Take 5" version from the 2018 deluxe -- gives the whole affair a lovely, loose, chatty, "that was a lot, now let's unwind" ending...
