Surprised yourself lately?
 

I mean with stuff you never thought you'd listen to?

A few years back, for me, it was jazz. I got into Coltrane in a big way, and branched out into other people from the hard bop and free jazz era.

This year, it's been some quick detours into 60s rock. The Pretty Things, for example.

nope.

just keep sigur ros's () in my cd player.

I have not lately, but I do go on mad kicks. Over the course of two years my jazz vinyl collection grew from 10 albums to over 200.

I have been in a crazy morrissey mood lately. I bought the DVD, who put the M in manchester? and it fucking RULES and I cannot stop spinning trhe 7" for fIRST OF THE gANG TO dIE, AND i LISTEN TO ALL MY SMITHS ALBUMS OVER AND OVE AGAIN AND i HAVE SEEN THAT dvd SO MUCH AND FUCK i AM ON A MAD MORRISEY MANIA KICK.

Morrissey, eh? interesting. I've been checking the vinyl bins for copies of old Smiths records.

Anybody heard the Cows? I know them only by reputation and saw Sweet Pee Story in the vinyl bins the other day.

The Cows are fucking fantastic, but Sexy Pee Story is their worst LP. Which isn't to say it is bad, but it doesn't come close to any of their other albums.

Yeah, I really want to find a copy of Cunning Stunts, but I never see that one around. Wondering if I should settle for Sexy... since it's in the racks right now tho... Hmm....

I tremember watching the COWS videos on the old alternative tentacles VHS collection sof videos.

Well, if it's cheap, go for it. Otherwise get something else.

I was lucky enough to find a really good copy of Cunning Stunts for $5 at some record store in DC. They had Flipper's Generic there too for an amazingly low price, but I already had it.

It's around 11 bucks, sealed, new, I think.

seriously i always like surprising myself by trying out something new. I never thought i'd like blues musicians but now i love muddy waters work. Fuck can that guy play guitar and use a slide.

Creeps.

dazedcola. Muddy waters is fantastic! I love all his mucis. My favorite vinyl of his is KING BEE,

which has the fantastic song, champagne and reefer.

if you can , go get the ANTHOLOGY. 2 CD's of fabulous Muddy water's blues

I'd really surprise myself if i learned that you turds had a more broad minded music taste.From rock to jazz..........what a progression!

I'd really surprise myself if I learned you weren't snockered when you constructed that sentence. "had a more broad minded music taste..." ???

I love Pet Shop Boys vinyl singles.

just fantastic.

I like more music than you do
nyah nyah nyah

Pet Shop boys! Hah hah...!

I have "a more broad minded music taste" than you do, nah nah, boo boo...

Ok.From rock to Jazz.Retards.

What's with the name calling? Are we 2?

*ignores him*

Will you hold your breath til your face turns blue for us, too? Stomp your little feet up and down?

lately i've been listening to the whitey album a lot. burnin' up is great.

You need to get laid.Badly.

I fully agree

but my girl is seein red.

My girl.

I've got two best of one spanning from 47-54 and another spanning 55-64.Ive heard that champagne and reefer song and like it a lot.Im trying to track down this good boot of muddy and the stones doing a gig together in 81.Its supposed to be his last recording ever before he died.

Also if you havent heard of electric mud i got to turn you onto that. Its a psychedelic record he did and its fuckin amazing. It reminds me a lot of hendrix with crazy screaming distortion on the guitar, mindblowing solos and wah wah on it. Im writing an article on the controversy about it now.Its a solid record and if you like hendrix youll like this.

if someone told me five years ago that i would be hunting for sonic youth side projects' 7", i'd probably beat them up for making fun of me.

free jazz.

every-e- haha, i know. i've been ebay hunting, trying to find as many singles and 7''s as i can that are cheap in the ebay stores. i need money.

are you kidding? i am going broke!!!! in fact i'm going to get a job just to be able to afford all the crap i've seen on ebay; you said it, it's cheaper but when you buy 50 cheap things then it's not such a cheap thing anymore...

have you gotten lucky so far? what have you won?

I've surprised myself with lots of lounge music, which I used to consider the anathema to all that is good and just in this world.

I'm always surprised when a local band isn't shit, which doesn't happen so much these days.

yeah, I've suprised myself lately. I have a growing love for Norwegian folk and folk-pop, esspecially stuff from the 70s. The more political, and humouristic Vømmøl Spellmannslag.



And the more poetic duo, Tobben & Ero, whom often put music to poems by such greats as: Knut Hamsun, Arnulf Øverland and A. O. Vinje




Fantastic music.

regarding music, nothing really surprised me in the recent time period

well, maybe,....Load records a bit (bands like Coughs, Noxagt, Pink&Brown), but nothing else really. Since post-rock went to hell, there hasn't been much interesting going on.

you will definitely disagree with me on this one, but new weird america is not any interesting either.

Cows.

Wow. Where has this band been all my life! Sexy Pee Story is the kind of album that makes you wanna say stuff like "Fuckin' A!"

haha glad you like it

wait until you hear Whorn

the first Velvet Underground album is the album that has surprised me lately. I used to claim it was overrated but I am now beginning to see it's beauty.
