Recent Musical Binges

Steel Panther

'Coheed and Cambria' and 'MGMT' have both recently put out very stellar albums, all I've been listening to.

E: Coheed Video. I'm surprised they haven't put out an official video for this album yet.

The Raconteurs

[peter12]

Nick Cave and Mozart.

[Hack&Lube]

Russian guy playing guitar on youtube

Re-ignited my obsession with The Church. Unguarded Moment easily one of the best songs of the 80s.

[Puppet Guy]

a day without some Iron Maiden is like a day without sunshine.

TV On The Radio, mainly the Dear Science album. I bought it about 6 months ago, thought it was OK and I've been listening to it virtually non-stop in my car. It's one of the more complete albums I've ever listened to.

Broken Bells is a new one I can see myself listening to a fair bit...it's the lead singer from The Shins and has Danger Mouse from Gnarls Barkley in it; really catchy stuff.

Stuck in my head this week:

[sclitheroe]

Charlie Christian ... he was one of the very earliest electric guitar players to perform solos, breaking the guitar out of its traditional rhythm role, and laying the groundwork for the performers who would go on to become the primary influences on electric guitar soloists such as Hendrix.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Grant Lee Buffalo-Heard one song and owned their catalog inside a month. Since then have done similar things with:

Brother Cane
Drive-By Truckers/Patterson Hood-Can't keep up.

Am working outside of the big 4 Seattle bands...My Sister's Machine, Screaming Trees, Gruntruck, Skin Yard, Tad, Green River, Mudhoney, Meat Puppets etc etc etc

The hipsters have grabbed my ear

I thought it was about time that I gave Bob Dylan a try. I soon found out it was about 18 years overdue.

[FanIn80]

I've been listening to some old Slayer albums again. I go through this phase every year or so... I have Reign in Blood in my car deck right now.

I've also got a little John Mayer going on the side.

Thanks for this suggestion. I've been grooving to this all morning.

Hmmm, your post seems somehow pretentious and self-righteous.

His post matches up quite well with the lyrics to "Time to pretend".

Some good Canadian music to binge on such as Albatross, The Crash Years and All to all, and Odessa. It is shaping up to be a good year!

[SeeGeeWhy]

Mother Mother
Silversun Pickups
Modest Mouse
TVotR
Kid Cudi
Ratatat
Battles

I saw someone describe silversun pickups as shoegaze... I've heard of that genre but never really knew what bands made it up. Anyone else like this stuff and can make some recommendations?

The White Stripes is the latest

in terms of songs "Beat's So Lonely" by Charlie Sexton is the song du jour
