shhhhh secret thread to talk about music without getting into a high-pitched ilm shriekfest on whatever thread is going on atm

every now and then Xtina reminds me that she can be really really awesome

(yes I did just add a bunch of random songs to my Spotify play queue and am reviving threads as songs come up)

did you know that Alanis Morrisette did a cover of "Crazy"? because I didn't

I really am sad that the overly emo teenage dude lipsynching this song was taken off of Youtube because it was HILARIOUS

not that the song isn't funny without it, oh Cranberries and your overwrought inappropriate melodrama combined with your stupid stupid lyrics

http://open.spotify.com/track/3JoEudxv4MYugQXrxMSUVs

remember when Fatboy Slim was awesome

http://open.spotify.com/track/7zNWQ95Qj0IBJ9RDpg2K60

remember when Photek was awesome

Hail To The Thief really is my favorite Radiohead album by miles and miles

http://open.spotify.com/track/2HdVxaORfb5QKpUuxcwpMC

aero likes to talk about how Sisters of Mercy became terrible when they started releasing albums; I maintain that they became different and that this moody, atmopsheric, thumping song is a fantastic example of why they shouldn't be written off. I still rate this over a good 50% of the early Sisterhood material.

why do I like this song so much

http://open.spotify.com/track/4P78liAXuhEwT94Q5XN4HO

every Altern8 song mashed together into an awesome megamix, almost makes owning the album inessential (note: ALMOST)

I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN THERE
I'LL TAKE YOU

why is it that 15 years later, without influence of any drugs whatsoever, I now TOTALLY get this shit

have you ever wondered what it would sound like if Tom Jones & Portishead did a version of "Motherless Child"? well now you don't have to worry anymore:

my fave plastikman jam, 5 minutes of buildup and tinny computer speakers don't really do it justice but w/e

6:18 is such a stupid trick but I love it

this shit is zen

1. you lock the target
2. you bait the line
3. you slowly spread the net, and
4. you catch the man

why is it that 15 years later, without influence of any drugs whatsoever, I now TOTALLY get this shit

I'm yet to understand that track... Have tried...

most of this stuff seems to me to be about submerging yourself in stasis so that the initial adrenaline rush washes over you in continuous waves mixed in with shifting into a mindset where you are really focusing on minute shifts in the pattern sequencing rather than the overall structure, which can come across very easily as two measures of drum pattern repeated for 10 minutes

btw: ILX pre-covers LULU -- the Lou Reed/Metallica album

this is great so far

In honor of the new Skinny Puppy album out this week, I've been playing Bites on Spotify. Still an amazing, amazing album.
