What are you listening to, right now................
-
yeah they ride that line but overall I reckon they are pretty smart how they go about their music. For me its a case of 'I like your old stuff better than your new stuff' (love that regurgitator song!). <br />
<br />
In terms of political rap this guy is my ongoing fav<br />

[quote name='Allstar']Yeah, go see and them live, it's well worth it. I saw them at Big Day Out this year, and they put on a really good show.<br />

Mates got together on the weekend. The discussion: Do we drive to Toronto (one hour away) to see the show on a Sunday - Toronto being a city where cynical spectators fold their arms and cynically dermand to be impressed-or-else --- or do we drive to Montreal (seven hours away) where they party their asses off for any excuse, and this particular excuse will be Rammstein on a spring Saturday night? <br />
<br />
Debate was over before it began. We're going to have a van with eight 40-50 year olds making the drive to Montreal. -
So Rammstein were good then?<br />
<br />
Saw Stone Temple Pilots at Vector last weekend, they put on a great show - as expected to be honest. Scott Weiland is actually looking relatively healthy these days.<br />
<br />
HLAH opened for them, pulling out a few classics like Wet Rubber, Hootenany, and their cover of I'm on Fire. They also cracked out a few new tunes, so I wouldn't be surprised if they put out a new album this year.<br />
<br />
Which led me and my mate to think, what big 'rock bands' that could fill an arena have been formed post 2000. There weren't many I could think of.... most that I can think of started in the 90's or earlier.... Pearl Jam, Green Day, STP, Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc etc<br />

Me? The show isn't 'til early May. (It'll be the first arena show I've seen since Nirvana in the early 90s.) -
The new Foo Fighters album is pretty fucking cool. Its not their best work, but it doesn't have to be to be pretty awesome. While their last album was a lot mor emelodic in parts, and they explored that whole acoustic thing, this one is a lot more rocky. I have only been through it twice, but i like it. And as per normal, the first 30 seconds of the album kicks ass.

Bit of classic cheese for ya:<br />

I'm pretty impressed with it. It's probably their second best album behind The Color and the Shape.<br />
<br />
Awesome as Fuck from Green Day is pretty good, a decent selection of really old songs on it too (pre-Dookie) -
This Danzig cover is actually pretty damn good:<br />

Been many years since I've dipped into the Stones catalogue, but been playing lots from the Mick Taylor years the past couple weeks. Great stuff. <br />
<br />
What I'm looking for, and what got me playing them, was a live version Bob Dylan did of "Brown Sugar" from his 2002 tour, and I can't find it anywhere, grrrr. -
[quote name='Duluth']I've been listening to a lot of Drag City artists recently - Silver Jews, Bonnie Prince Billy and Bill Callahan<br />
<br />
<br />
Not many vids around but here 's a fan made one for a Silver Jews song<br />

Might as well throw in some kiwi stuff. I was listening to the Verlaines for the first time in ages yesterday.. they really should have even more recognition in NZ<br />
<br />
[video=youtube;x6pJ5wwwsZQ] <br />
<br />
<br />
Also been listening to a lot of Pavement/Stepehn Malkmus. I was lucky enough to see Pavement in 3 different cities this year :drinks:<br />
<br />
Here's Malkmus covering a Verlaines song in NZ (does he really need to read the chorus??)<br />
<br />

<br />
agreed duluth, underated band in NZ. a lot of really great songs. Saw pavement last year too, at brixton academy. they butchered 'Date with Ikea@ which was one of the songs i was hoping they would play. The SM cover is a bit lame and not a patch on the original -
Have a sweet pink floyd edit:<br />
