What music have you been listening to this October?

Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of My Mind
Abba - S.O.S.
Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot

ryan adams - gold (not as good as heartbreaker but what could be?); Lou Reed - Berlin; Trinkets (brisbane post-rock instrumental band); lots of puccini and callas and some tango, as well as mp3s - esp thalia zedek.

I'm on a "Teenage Riot" diet as well - just got "DdN" back from a mate who had it since April... This mate lent me "Bodily Functions" by Herbert, and I don't plan to give it back until February 2002...

I just found one of my all time favourite songs! I knew it was by Leonard Cohen but that's all so I've been downloading every song by him I can find. I finally got it! It's called "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" and it is BEAUTIFUL! If you are not familiar with it then I urge you to acquire it. You'll find it on Morpheus.

I just discovered Berlin by Lou Reed a couple of weeks ago. It's good, isn't it.

The Associates' Sulk, the new Jay-Z and DMX albums, the Kylie single, and random pop music old and new.

I have been listening to: The Tarquin Records All Star Holiday Extravaganza
Chritmas 2 - Kindercore Records
Fat Lip - Sum 41
Cortez the Killer & Through My Sails- Neil Young

i loved you in the moooorning, yr kisses sweet and waaaarm, yr hair just like a pillow on a ...

ah, wine soaked memories...berlin is brilliant, beutiful bleak and blown away.

Chicks on speed - will rule us all 500% dynamite champion sounds fania ft. horace andy- yagga you pole - scape (pole, kit clayton, burnt friedman remixes of raum0 Rythmn and sound 12"s suba - samba do gringo paulista (zero db remix)

lots of dub electronica nd jazz

Oh, loads and loads as always but my top 5 so far this month...

1. Various -Flux Trax 2- Techno from 91-96.
2. Nu Yorican soul, the Masters at work go latin<3>3.Since I had a track in the ILM listening chamber, I've relistened to Jeff Beck's You had it coming.
4. Bjork - Vespertine.
5. Sunhouse - Crazy on the weekend, which despite being described elsewhere as the most boring band ever, is the CD I've listened to most over the past couple of months.

Of the five I'd say only Sunshouse reflects the Autumnal feel, it would work well as a companion piece to Nick Drake's Northern Sky.

sally tims and bran van 3000

Bitches' Brew, Missy, and the new Fugazi record, which is badass.

Lotsa Bondauces, Sloan, Sweep The Leg Johnny, W&M, NoA and any other bands that played Halifax Pop Explosion that year. Lots of math rock and other such forums for screaming.

I've been listening a great deal to Arthur by the Kinks for the last week. It's charming! Also, Therion, Helloween, and Vivaldi.

In choir we're starting to sing Mozart's Requiem. I'd love to get a recording of it because it's so beautiful.

Lou Reed - Transformer; Kylie - Fever; I dusted off the S*M*A*S*H album after finding that article Taylor Parkes did about them just to remember how ridiculous they were; and a Herbie Hancock compilation I burned myself.

I have been listening to Millionaire. It is the Belgian Brainiac: 'ard core funk punk grinding you right *there*. I WUVWUVWUV IT. I have also discovered that dEUS has made a new single. Am I excited? AM I FUCK! It's yummilicious.
My musickal mood changes faster than a light bulb.

I R thinking this thread belongs on ILM

oh who goes there any more, that place is strictly 4 squares.

Ah! Fatnick not true...Music is a part of everything! And plus I don't post much to ILM, so I asked it here. It's allowed.

I R thinking that is fair enough.

Various things on Kompakt - all mindblowing, and ta muchly to Andy for the heads-up. Also: Bubba Sparx, Jay-Z, Cannibal Ox. Individual songs of the month are Latrelle's "Dirty Girl", Blu Cantrell's "Waste My Time", Kylie's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", Gerling's "Dust Me Selecta" and J Lo's "I'm Real (Murder Mix)", the final choice being one I'm determined to use as the theme song for some aspect of my life, though I'm not sure which.

The Pulp album lots, the Jay-Z album a little, a fair bit of Jamaican music of various stripes, bunches of FilePile-derived MP3s, So Solid Crew, Lightning Bolt, The Strokes, Hal Wilner, old MP3s in my attempt to finish 1000, John Fahey, Les Rallizes Denudes, Acid Mothers Temple, Charlemagne Palestine's "Strumming Music". Almost no pop, for once.

"Things we lost in the fire" by Low. That's a fantastic autumn album. I have to sweep the fallen leaves out of my room after every listen. Probably my contender for album of the year so far.

Whilst driving to Norfolk last week I played David Byrne and Brian Eno's "My life in the bush of ghosts". I'd forgotten how groundbreaking that album was. I suppose it's pretty much par for the course nowadays to incorporate vocal samples and tribal rhythms, but for 1981 it was very innovative, and still manages to sound so fresh.

Live, I have mostly been listening to French Kicks, Superchunk, Beachbuggy and.... Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

Today, I am listening to Modest Mouse's "the moon and antartica"...and liking it for the first time, must be the rain that hasn't stop falling today.

In the most recent HMV sale I bought some 'modern' classical albs on the excellent Montaigne label -

'La Legende D'eer' - Xeanakis

'La Lontananza Nostalgica Utopica Futura' - Luigi Nono

'Routine Investigations' - Morton Feldman.

Also: 1987-89 by Suzanne Langille/Loren Mazzacane Connors (esp. their version of Lonnie Johnson's 'Haunted House'), 'Days Have Gone By' by John Fahey (esp. 'The Portland Cement Factory at Monolith, California'), 'Tramps, Traitors and Little Devils' - A Drag City Supersession (esp. 'Charley's Girl'), 'Unheimlich Schon' by Luc Ferrari, 'Two Brothers' by The Boxhead Ensemble. I cheer up whenever I hear the Kylie single on the radio. And am eagerly awaiting the new Aphex and R. Quine Velvet Underground tapes.

This weekend, it was Beulah, Tammi Terrell, the Motors and some Northern Soul.

'Survivor'. Everyone here seems to think 'Writing's on the Wall' is better, let me be the first to disagree. I even like the gospel thing at the end, and "Apple Pie" as well!

Pulp - We Love Life, Jay-Z - the Blueprint, Big Star (inspired by ILM shocker!), Air, St. Etienne, Felix Da Housecat, yet even more Daft Punke, Sinatra.

We Love Life is really suggestive of autumn to me (as is the latest Air, which might have been a better release time). Most of the stuff has an air of melancholy to it without having major chord ANGST and DESPAIR. Which is kind of what I think of when I think of autumn.

Deadly Snakes and our jukebox.

I went off the Jay-Z right after I bought it, lent it to someone at work and now I can't be bothered to listen to it anymore. I've been listening to the new Le Tigre, Stereo Total, a French pop CD I got talked into buying (Get Easy) and I dug out my copy of New Order's Ceremony after someone mentioned it on another thread. Cut way back on purchases but I think it's just a black mood that will pass.

Something Else by The Kinks Entire Buzzcocks catalog Electric Company - Greatest Hits Scritti Politti - Songs To Remember

I R thinking buzzcocks catalog is good, even new stuff!

St. Etienne's Tiger Bay, New Order's Substance, All Saints' Saints and Sinners, Jay-Z's Blueprint, Ludacris's "Area Codes".

I also think that the new Beulah album is good. Today, I am listening to Six Finger Satellite.

I'm rocking out to Led Zeppelin, moping around to a Sandy Denny anthology (very Autumnal), bouncing up and down to Toots and the Maytals, and staring out the window to a Steve Reich box set.

Where is everybody getting We Love Life? I want it I want it I want it.

OK. My list:

The Kinks-Something Else, Face To Face, "No More Looking Back" from Schoolboys in Disgrace. I guess the Kinks are pretty autumnal, eh? Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

Magnetic Fields-Charm of the Highway Strip

Frank Sinatra-"Everything Happens to Me"

Amanda Lear-"Alphabet"

Bee Gees-"Birdie Told Me"

Swamp Dogg-"Total Destruction to Your Mind"

Vic Chestnutt-"Tarragon"

Bjork-Vespertine

Bowie-"Memory of a Free Festival" (the bonus track one with Ronson in all his glory)

Liza Minnelli-"Arthur in the Afternoon"

St. Etienne-"Like a Motorway"

Barron Knights-"Lazy Fat People"

Zowie, good lists, all.

Teengenerate - Smash Hits
The Fall - Dragnet
Faust - BBC Sessions
White Stripes - "Hello Operator"
Paul Simon - "Still Crazy After All These Years"
Buzzcocks - "Orgasm Addict"
