OT: The Jukebox: What are you listening to?

[al secord]

They were never the same after Wheels had to leave the band.

Alcohol's a very serious drug.

What's the rule again regarding self-promotion in these OT threads?

If folks are in their own bands, can they share that music here?

 

[Chief keefe]

Lot and lots of Moose Blood.

Die Antwoord is hilarious, good call. Edit - Did you see Chappie? If so, any good?

Do you listen to Bishop Briggs at all? Not a lot of synth-pop influence there, but she's one of my favourite alt/indie artists right now. She recently collaborated with Cold War Kids (on a song called 'So Tied Up'), who are also awesome. I'd recommend starting with 'River', 'Pray (Empty Gun)', and 'Wild Horses' for those who want to check her out.

Tash Sultana could be up your alley as well, she's a solo artist who performs using a looping pedal. She sings, beatboxes, and absolutely wails on the guitar. 'Jungle' and 'Murder to the Mind' are both outstanding tracks.

I saw them live at Osheaga in the summer and it was an absolute riot. Chappie was pretty mediocre. I love their music and personas, but they are not good actors. I'm going to stick to their music vids.

Bishop Briggs crosses my spotify occasionally and while I think Wild Horses is a good song, she's never really stuck with me. I'll have to check out Tash Sultana. Thanks for the recommendations.

Funny, had a buddy who did the sound for Sloan for the longest time. He now works with The Trews.

Matt Mayes and El Torpedo is another pretty good east coast band(from Dartmouth, N.S.). Their second album(Matt Mayes and El Torpedo) is a favorite but has many subsequent good ones as well.
"on the hood" is a great tune.

Kind of a melo and sad night for my tunes this evening. While browsing through HFboards, I listened to Fade Into You by Mazzy Star, So Real by Jeff Buckley, and Wake Up by Mad Season. Lately on the drive to and from work it's been the Foo Fighters, Big Wreck or Big Sugar, on repeat.

Mad Season! So good.

 

[member 262271]

Ahh the Ditch trilogy. Well done sir.

 

[member 262271]

Lots and lots of Alice Cooper.

 

[IBeL34f]

Lots and lots of Alice Cooper.

I've had the pleasure of seeing him a couple of times - What a kickass show

 

[theleafnationdave13]

Social distortion, rancid, drop kick Murphy’s, G n R ( rocket queen ),wu- tang and biggie and don’t forget about my girl Miley!

Lately it's been a lot of Hans Zimmer (e.g. Interstellar) , Led Zeppelin and the soundtrack from Blade Runner.

Same - saw him last year and he's still got it at almost 70. My favorite cover band recently did the Killer album and some of Love it to Death, great times.

This song has been my shit lately, total banger. Feel like if I lived in Toronto I'd like it even more

Hans Zimmer is incredible. The only score of his I haven't been a big fan of was True Romance, but I have a feeling that was Tony Scott looking for a specific feel than it was bad work by Zimmer.

If you like film soundtracks, I highly, highly recommend Clint Mansell's 'The Fountain' score - 'Death Is The Road To Awe' is one of my favourite pieces of music ever, let alone from a film.

Very different from either of those guys, but Nobuo Uematsu is another amazing composer (best known for the Final Fantasy games). I challenge anyone to listen to the Advent Children version of 'One-Winged Angel' without getting just the most jacked up.

You can tell I'm a fair bit older than most of the people on here, I still listen to Tool and Metallica with some Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana thrown in

 

[nsleaf]

Thanks, listening to it now.

Some old school east coast music: Minglewood and Buddy and the Boys were very popular down east in their day. "Whiz kids" by Minglewood is a fave, "I got the working at the Woolco manager trainee blues" by Buddy was also pretty good.

Or a fair bit younger

You might be older than me but I love all 3 of those bands. Good taste my friend

I'm in my 30s, but my musical tastes rarely travel outside of the confines of 60s-90s.

Familiar with Mansell and agree re: Death is The Road To Awe. Not familiar with Uematsu though, but I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Let's find out!

My band recorded a couple songs last year.
