What music can't you get enough of lately?

PIXIES.......again. How can anyone possibly get enough of this amazing band. And soon it'll The Mars Volta again when FRances the Mute comes out March 1st.

Sonic Youth - Sister

I've been waking up twenty minutes earlier to be sure that I can listen to it in its entirety before I leave for class. I don't know why I'm suddenly obsessed... it might be all the latent desire to actually like Sonic Youth I stored up during the period I only owned (and never really connected with) Daydream Nation.

the new Daft Punk and Ellen Allien's Stadtking, must assimilate...

Donna Summer - Love to Love You Baby

Just on repeat for the last 3 days.

i'm discovering elo - they're a hybrid of beatles and beegees and bad 70's disco

the incredible moses leroy -become the soft lightes. i'm hooked on the miho hatori track, "the color of sky." how do people make music this beautiful?

also, nancy sinatra.
also, peggy lee.
also, vic mizzy.

Japan-"My New Career"...on repeat atleast 10-12 times a day.
Les Georges Leningrad-Sur Les Traces Du Black Eskimo...this album is drugs.

The new Low and the new New Order. Grand stuff.

The Secret Machines - Now Here Is Nowhere

Kid606, Whitehouse and Clinic.

pop from sumatra, phnom penh, nepal

Tunng's new LP and a lot of Midnight Oil.

The Traggles, Ignition Switch, the Leonard Thompson Injection and Twill Gore Curve

Bassline/hardcore/whatever-it's-called-this-week breaks: Baobinga, backdraft, breakfastaz, mark one, dj quest , loads more... the culmination of jungle, garage, grime, hardcore and everyting uk all wrapped up in sub freqency bass...

Justus Köhncke and Luomo

Boris' Feedbacker: Just discovered'em after receiving a promo. Then I noticed they are featured in the Subt. Metal Primer (Wire). I can't compare it with their previous releases, but this one's amazing.

Daft Punk - Human After All. Not a perfect album, but some tracks are classic (fe Technologic which seems to very reminiscent of DJ Funk).

Good Luck - Basement Jaxx

Human After All - Daft Punk

Are You Are Missing Winner -The Fall

Ultra Schall - LFO

Ondoyant et Divers - Kopernik

Dying On The Vine - John Cale

Head Automatica - Decadence

Finally getting into 'Arular'.

Listening to a lot of Drive Like Jehu, The Fall and Iggy Pop also.

right now, i'm hooked on the first kings of convenience album, just drifts away while i work several times a week.

many xposts - yeah sister's great, got that in the car and playing it plenty too.

I have been obsessively playing The Name of this Band is Talking Heads for months.

For the past two weeks it's been Chromeo and Black Mountain.

Been listening to a lot of vintage Virgin Prunes lately, which has been making me very happy indeed.

This morning, my walk was split between listening to Paul Di'anno-era Iron Maiden (could "Wrathchild" be any fuckin' better? I think not), and New Order's Substance. Somewhere between Peter Hook's completely ass-whuppin' bass solo (for lack of a better term) towards the tail end of "Subculture" and the sonic supernova of crystaline excellence that is "True Faith," a smile blosomed on my face that could not be removed....until I reached my office.

Arular, High on Fire, old Crowbar stuff, "Oh My Gosh," Sleater-Kinney for some bizarre reason.

A lot of dub recently, especially Price Far I's 'Dubwise' which was on repeat most of the weekend.

I've listened to Gang of Four's "Entertainment" at least ten times in the past three weeks.

The first Drive Like Jehu record.

Don Caballero's "What Burns Never Returns", Misson Of Burma's "Vs.", and the Magnetic Fields' "Get Lost"

today :

alpha - stargazing .. how on earth i missed out on this on its release

.. its gorgeous ..

-A couple Mates of State songs off of a Polyvinyl sampler
-Santana's "Open Invitation"
-Crime Mob, "Knuck If You Buck"

1. The Locust (entire catalog)
2. The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower "Love In The Fascist Brothel"

i have to listen to jennifer gentle's song "i do dream you" every morning.

erlend øye - dj kicks
just ridiculously affecting. thanks pfm!

lcd soundsystem - s/t
soundtrack of my weekend in the city. whoever said "daft punk is playing at my house" was unlistenable was not on the money. admittedly coming from someone who finds the MES-aping funnier than offending/annoying, i have to say that song is too fun. "never as tired..." is my current fav though.

foreign exchange - connected
i've probably heard "sincere" 30 times over the past few weeks. i never really beat on a track like that, so that's saying something for me.

daft punk - discovery
"digital love" feels like it was tailor-made for my ears (thanks ilm!). that track drew me back to discovery... aaand how could i have ignored this for so long? maybe i didn't get the french style at first, now i love it to death. way too cool.

Alex, I heard the Virgin Prunes on the car radio recently and it was fantastic. At first I thought it might have been Diamanda Galas singing with Moroccan musicians.

Another thing about "Pumped Up" by Sir Lord Baltimore is that the beginning of the instrumental break is identical to the groove from a song on "Post Mersh Vol. 1." by the Minutemen. The one that begins, "Against the flux / Play the Field / Push the Wheel."

And by comparing the lyrics to Spinal Tap, I don't mean that I find Sir Lord Baltimore silly or cliched. Their style may have BECOME a cliche years later when flogged to death by other bands. But they made totally life-affirming, full-blast rock -- that's why I can't get enough.

The Go! Team and Kings of Convenience

I'll let you guess the 90s pop hit I sing like this:

She sucks, she sucks, she sucks
she gives good head!

Dawanawanawanawana

She fucks, she fucks, she fucks
she's in my bed!

Yeah, I know it's juvenile.

"Lump", Mr. Slone. I'll take my $400,000 now.

Today I've been listening to Roxy Music's "Love is the Drug" nearly non-stop, except forwhen I put on Scritti Politti, which is all I've listened to for the past two months or so.

Mike Jones et al - Still Tippin
Crime Mob - Knuck If U Buck
Keith Fullerton Whitman's Playthroughs

eX-Girl - "Endangered Species"
Metallica - "Master of Puppets"

neil young 'trans'
pink floyd 'piper at the gates of dawn' and 'saucerful of secrets'

the bobby o song that was posted on the ILMiXor blog is the fucking BEST THING EVER and this is my 4584569546th repeat listen of it.

I was listening to this africa funk comp I downloaded that was really interesting, I could't stop trying to figure it out...

haha I google it to figure out what it was and mr douglas wolk has an article in TODAY'S Boston Globe mentioning its sequel! (mine was Africa Funk: The Original Sound of 1970s Funky Africa)

If that's the comp I'm thinking of, it's good.

My pick lately is Paulinho Da Viola. I can't stop listening to his tender happy/sad sambas, and they make my eyes well up with sentimental tears every time.

it's very good! and I love samba, thanks for the recommendation.

Oh man, you have to hear this guy. The collection I have is an import called Raizes Do Samba. He's worked in a few different styles but this comp is pretty much all samba.

I've been listening to Duck Rock a lot lately. McClaren's so dorky and charming on it. "Hey girls, how many skips can you do? Hey Ebo! Ebonette!"

cheap bargain bin neil young tapes. "Don't Let It Bring You Down", esp.

the standard James Brown - P-Funk axis, good music to walk home to with one's portable music player

Caribou - Up In Flames
I'm getting all psyched up for The Milk of Human Kindness

Can't stop listening to Ted Leo/Rx's "Shake the Sheets". Great stuff.

Also, Dr. Dog, a band I recently discovered but know little about. Check out "Easy Beat".

The new New Order makes everything else sound about as appealing as waking up to a chorus of jackhammers outside my bedroom window.

Dr. John - Gris Gris & Babylon

Because the are so rich in some unknown kinda something. Those two albums are all I wanna hear lately.

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

The Kinks - Kink Kronikles
Killing Joke - What's THIS for...!
Black Mountain - S/T

I Third the New ORder...
Also in heavy rotation today are Cheap Trick's Albini Sessions and the Chicago Soul Comp.

Missa Luba performed by The Muungano National Choir, directed by Boniface Mganga. Esp. "Gloria."

Trois Petites Liturgies by Olivier Messiaen. The Kent Nagano version, featuring Yvonne Loriod and Jeanne Loriod. How can you beat something called "Psalmodie d l'ubiquité par amour"? Messiaen was such a hippy! ;-)

On eût dit des coups d'ailes by Guy Reibel.

Can you tell I'm really into choirs?

Also, Ilhan Mimaroglu's reissue, "Agitation" on Locust records. Takehisa Kosugi's "Catch Wave," Mark Hollis' self-titled record (esp. "A Life"), Alice Coltrane's Universal Consciousness.
