OT: Friday POSBANG (what are you listening to?)
here in my office today. My stuff is mostly a mix of rock and rap. A lot of Linkin Park, The Black Keys (who's El Camino is a hell of an awesome album), Muse, Smashing Pumpkins, Jay-Z, Dre, and Eminem as the most frequent artists on the playlist. But I've got a ton of older stuff and random one hit wonders and old school rap as well. Currently playing is the cover of "Blue Monday" by Orgy. Prior to that was Sad But True by Metallica and Welcome to the Jungle by GNR.
Happy Friday and have a great weekend everyone!

Kesha. I am listening to the Herd...but if he compares LBJ to Jordan one more time...but that is a debate for another day/thread.

Are my hipster days. Listening to Mumford and Sons along with The Lumineers. Judge all you want.

So hot. Milk was a bad choice.
I'm right there with you. Some great songs that MAKE you want to sing along.
Only Fridays? That's some good music to restrict to only one day a week.
Only judging because those are absolutely not hipster bands at all. But good choices, don't be ashamed. But also don't feel hipstery
Mike Martin told me he loves me. My life is quite possibly complete.

The Trololo video first appeared on some sites beginning on 21 February 2010, the most prominent of those being the "Trololo" website trololololololololololo.com that helped push the meme into popular awareness, receiving more than 3,000,000 hits in its first month.[23][24] It gained prominence on 3 March during a segment on The Colbert Report[25] after appearing on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld a handful of times over the previous couple of weeks. It was also parodied by actor Christoph Waltz on Jimmy Kimmel Live![26] as well as Craig Reucassel on the Australian TV show "The Chaser", and in September 2011 on the animated American television series Family Guy in its tenth season premiere episode, "Lottery Fever".[27]
The "Trololo" meme in turn re-ignited interest in Khil's singing career aside from his vocalised performance; for a time, the "Trololo" website[28] included a petition for Khil to come out of retirement to perform on a world tour.
I haven't heard anything about it. It's nice, of course! Thanks for good news! There is a backstory about this song. Originally, we had lyrics written for this song but they were poor. I mean, they were good, but we couldn't publish them at that time. They contained words like these: "I'm riding my stallion on a prairie, so-and-so mustang, and my beloved Mary is thousand miles away knitting a stocking for me". Of course, we failed to publish it at that time, and we, Arkady Ostrovsky and I, decided to make it a vocalisation. But the essence remained in the title. The song is very playful – it has no lyrics, so we had to make up something for people would listen to it, and so this was an interesting arrangement.—Eduard Khil

When you're constructing a backpacking stove out of aluminum cans, it's only fitting to listen to metal. On the playlist today is As I Lay Dying, Dream Theater, and my personal favorite band, Dulcamara. Corny video, great song

Dammit. This is a posbang thread but I'm having a very hard time posbanging this one.

to the White Album, then Abbey Road after that. He really seems to like "Rocky Raccoon" and "Piggies"

Was canceled. I rushed in here for nothing. Damn.
On the bright side, I could be available if I learn of any brew pubs taping Pliney the Younger, which is platinum out here-and only available this time of year in minimal quantities, and long lines to get any. I had it last year, and it lived up to the hype.
Fingers crossed.

Just finished listening to the most recent UMHoops podcast. David Merritt, Zack Novak, Nicole Auerbach. Always nice to hear how Zack is doing, sounds like he's having a great time playing in Europe.
There was some talk about that game that happened on Tuesday, but it was overall an entertaining, upbeat podcast!

My Bloody Valentine - m b v
"The last Saturday in November at 12 o'clock, that ball being kicked off, there’s nothing like it." - Coach Hoke
I call B.S. Everyone says they listen to My Bloody Valentine, but nobody listens to My Bloody Valentine. It's just a lot of noises all mixed together, which is a really cool method that every good band after copied, but it's still like the musical equivalent of a blogger who does nothing but have conversations with his bolded subconscious.

I listen to Loveless at least once a month. You have to listen to the album the whole way through. The guitar work by Shields is amazing.
With the repeated use of don't and the double negative. That sentence was a lot of noise.
No no you misunderstand me. It's not that it all turns to noise. Like the bolded subconscious...
Who me?
yeah you, is your point made so I can continue?
Yes, but first when's the last time you even listened to this album?
Today, after I saw it mentioned in this thread.
Okay continue.
...it's a really cool device that makes the music more interesting. They...fill space with sound--different instruments coming in at every possible tones tha could make up that chord. First time you hear it you are like "That is amazing!" However it's really a tool, not the basis for extended and repetitive listening until the end of time. The things that other bands went on to do with this device were the really awesome things. SO many bands mention MBV in their list of influences because they used that device, but I think those bands all used it to greater purpose than MBV did. It's like appreciate Darwin but that's not even 1/4 of what evolution is, you know?

Wrote today's Dear Diary with a chronologic trip through Radiohead, which I started because I made a Pablo Honey joke in an email and then had that one guy with theHail to the Thief cover as his avatar open in my first tab. Posted about the time I got to Fitter...Happier so I'll keep it going.

my favorite thing about the Movement festival is how well curated it is in terms of showcasing "the next big thing" in dance music. gotta get acquainted so I can make informed stage decisions
Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, ScHoolboy Q. And Frank Ocean's Channel Orange is still in heavy rotation.
It's a Russian band that's basically doing a good Joy Division impression, and that works for me.

Not listening to anything but am looking at buying tickets to Green Day's American Idiot musical that is coming to town next month. Anyone seen it? I love the album but I'm wondering if my like of the music is enough to make it worth my time. If you've seen it, let me know what you think.

Been on a blues/soul kick as of late, especially that Memphis sound. Bobby Blue Bland, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, too many to name. If Al Green's "Love And Happiness" doesn't at the very least tap your foot, you officially have no soul.

Embed Fail.
Oh, and how many points do I need before I can POSBANG? LOL
That's some good stuff right there! I'm generally not a screamo kind of guy, but this is cool.
Also, if you want to know how to embed, just check out the "Pretty Posts Sticky" on top of MGoBoard; you'll learn how to embed and blockquote and tons of other things.
Also, at 100 points you get posbanging privaleges.

Bop-era jazz (Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk) until my deadlines are met.
In the afternoon, I'll be in the mood for some old-fashioned Detroit high energy: MC5, Wayne Kramer, The Racketeers, Sonic's Rendezvous Band. Kick out the jams and let it snow.
