Have you discovered things anew?

Stepherunie

So many people have ipods and zens now with all there music on them, anyone rediscovered great albums of late? Everyone seems to have them on in the library anyways.

Personally, discovered Tom Waits Closing Time again in the library whilst trying to learn some anatomy - deadly album.

I found Son of Evil Reindeer last week. Made me feel so happy!

My lovely horse was knocking around the iPod for some reason. Quality.

Joni Mitchell's Clouds.

Beautiful album

Magical Mystery Tour...

I'd Forgotten how good an album it was.

The album that Apocalyptica did where they do instrumental versions of lots of Metallica songs. Mmm.

I am so very incredibly drunk right now.

I love Bill Hicks.

Only finally stumbled across The Bends by Radiohead again a while back - amazing stuff, really unbelievable.

Absolution by Muse, if listened to in one go too, is phenomenal.

I don't think I'll be able to keep a straight face in your presence anymore, darlin...

On-topic: Rediscovered an absolute sh*tload of Green Day stuff I'd forgotten I had, most cherishably (did I just invent that word?) Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Great stuff.

Oh, and I rediscovered Hybrid Theory mere milliseconds before rediscovering how sh*t it was in the first place...

Anyone like yourself who even owns/or has owned a copy of any Linkin Park album deserves to be castrated by the balls for crimes against music.

OT: Gotten into The Kinks and The Doors (Jim's voice is soooo dreamy!) alot lately on top of my other usual musical addictions such as The Holy Bible by the Manics, anything The Smiths, Oasis, The Libertines..... and I estimate that I've listened to Arctic Monkeys debut roughly about 700 billion times of late and desperately need to go cold turkey with that album or I'll be talking with a Sheffield accent very soon!

Never owned it. Nuff sed.

Rediscovered Evanescence due to the joys of rarities, b-sides and other unreleased beauties that are far, far better than anything on Fallen...

I was walking to the supermarket this evening in the rain when Build Me Up, Buttercup came on... I danced the whole way there. What a great song!

Yeah, I remember a year or so ago, I went in to Chapters to sell some old College books, and the bloke behind the counter was playing the Wall. I sparked up conversation about it and we chatted about Pink Floyd for ages - til a queue began to form, and the ppl in it began to get ever-so-slightly miffed...

Wonder what happened to that guy, he doesn't work there anymore...

Red Alert

ahem that could be the problem.

Superquinn in ballinteer were playing Thin Lizzy the album this morning. Good stuff!

VenusInFurs

A couple of friends stayed in the Rossport solidarity camp this weekend. Personally however, I prefer clean, sparkling toilet bowls instead of putrid, **** swims; frothy cappucinos rather than herbal tea that tastes like the Mayo bog water; and 10 hours sleep in my own bed at home in B'sloe instead of an insomnia nightmare in a half inch of water in a crammed tent.

So last night, while I lay in my warm bed while the rain lashed against my double-glazed window, I thought of my moronic friends camping up in Rossport, and played 'Kill All Hippies' by Primal Scream. XTRMNTR (vowels are evil, you see) and its punk/electronica sound reminded me why I ditched the guitar, weed and the haircut to embrace synths, speed and, erm, new haircuts. This album is a monumental sonic statement of its time. I haven't looked back since.

Thinlizzy in Superquinn-what next mettalica in spar?
I'm going through a really country phase at the mo.I'm kinda worried cos I thought it would only last a couple of weeks but has now gone on for about two years:o Hence me having best of country albums in my walkman in the library.But its a good soundtrack to librocops swagger.

Um... Where to begin... Maybe should start off by pointing out that a Thin Lizzy track was used in a Pat the Baker ad, therefore it is not an unreasonable leap to think that TL would lend emselves pretty well to Superquinn... Secondly, Thin Lizzy and Metallica in the same sentence? Aside from both doing covers of Whisky in the Jar, I fail to see any - repeat, ANY- similarity between the two.

Baffling.

We played all kinds of cr*p on Belfield FM...

Seriously, if you don't have a broad musical taste, don't work in a radio station! There's so many styles and genres covered that a person with broad taste will always have a better time of it than somebody who's gonna spend most of the day griping about whatever's being played...

I like most stuff tho, or at least I'll give everythin a chance.

Cept Westlife. For shame.

Scraggs

Westlife rock...

well ok not exactly rock... but they sing nice songs!!

Chinafoot

I have to say though, they destroyed Uptown Girl by Billy Joel (the amount of young people that thought that was a Westlife original was criminal) and they were nowhere near as good as Josh Grobin on You Raise Me Up.

On the plus side, hopefully their covering those songs will open people up to other artists once they're aware that the songs are covers.

Well the "gentle ribbing" between the pair of you has caused enough crap on this forum and I'm not having anymore of it.

I consider myself to be pretty leniant on this forum and I have let you slide on a lot of things, particularly during the elections. (*edit*Threatening to crash the beers to confront a poster ring any bells?)

So how about you keep your "gentle ribbing" to yourself in future because my patience for you has well and truly run out.

Now, lets get back on topic.

I've been stuck into Tool's Lateralus for a good while now. Bloody sophistocated work, it is. Feckin Fibonacci.

Currently listening to some Johnny Cash that I havent heard in a while... I adore him.

[I'd just like to add... I'm not a hardcore westlife fan or anything btw! I just like poptastic tunes...]

Belfield FM is bad, but Shannonside Northern Sound is uber-s***ty. Anybody living in the Midlands or Border Counties will know what I'm talking about. This radio station is for die-hard country'n'western aficionados in the forty-plus age bracket. All the presenters have faux-Tenessee accents. Brutal stuff. I grew up with my Grandad listening to this tripe, hence my aversion to all things 'country'.

There was a culture of dissent in the early nineties and mid nineties, at the zenith of rave culture, where loads of pirate stations popped up around Dublin. Them were the days. A former SU President would know more about it than I, considering he was a DJ on one of these illegal stations.

Everythin' by Billy Bragg... The man is a fcuking legend, can't believe I never discovered him before tbh... Respect to boneless for properly introducin me to his stuff.

VenusInFurs

A couple of years ago, Bragg did a cover album of Woody Guthrie's stuff called 'Mermaid Avenue'. I'm not into my folk but this certainly impressed.

Sangre

Binatone Spectrum, Pacman, Commodore
ZX-81, donkey kong, ****ing high score
Push it to the limit, couldn't push it any more
Wanna be a ****ing robot after smoking loads of draw

Bought a speak and spell, stuck it to my chest
And wraps some ****ing TIN FOIL to my head and to my vest
Walking down the stret, my next door neighbours not impressed
I'm a robot and buying ten fags is my quest

Eggsie's gone too far, he thinks he's robocop
He's covered in tinfoil and he's got matching metal socks
We tried to sedate him but he ****ing escaped
The man robot myth starts to escalate

He tries to sell himself standing in curries
But if the police turn up, he runs in a ****ing hurry
He tries to plug himself in the mains with his nob
And when he's fully recharged he goes out on the rob

Half man, half machine
What does it mean?
What does it mean?

Half man, half machine

Being a robot in my digital domain
Enter my world, feel my pain
I'm not like other people you might see or you might know
I made love to a BBC micro
Touching on the disk drive, the monitor got hot
I knew from then, I was a mother****ing robot
Bill Gates from Microsoft, Stephen Hawking's voice
And ****ing Lara Croft

I built a lab, secret in my loft
And built a special costume that would help me to jack off
I sat there in front of the screen
For many years, this had been my wet dream
Now I've reched it, I'm finally there
Like terminator being filmed in Aberdare
So alone, when people stop and stare
Like C3PO but with pubes and hair

Robot Love
Robot
Robotic Breakdancing
Robot

The doctors found a nut
They said he was an headcase
'cos he sticks silver and cans on his face

Sucking off antennas and trying to **** the fridge
And burnt his pubic wig, with the high voltage

I am a robot
My prime directive is to's go to's the shops
And buy's ten fags
Do's you's compute?

He wants to buy ten fags, his destination is the shops
A tinfoil suit and a hat like Robocop
If your ask him then he'll do a bodypop
Like terminator, yeah he just won't stop

Put electical cable down through the eye of his cock
Plugged it in the wall and gave himself a big shock
The reason that he did it wasn't to give himself pain
Watching Terminator over again and again

**** man, get him, ****ing restrain him man
get him ****ing, ****ing get him down man
inject him man, get him down
He's ****ing nuts spa and he's losing it
Help me man, just get him ****ing....

I know! I had only really listened through it before, but listening as a musician and applying all my amaz0r skills (¬_¬) to it helped me realise just how complex an album it is. Then all of the mathematical significance as well, of course.
Can't wait for the new album!!

Been drumming away to Undertow for a while too

Chinafoot

Springsteen's Born to Run album. (What with last year being the 30th anniversary....still listening) The man is a legend as far as I'm concerned. Just read his interview with Nick Hornby (I bet he creamed his pants, the man is a HUGE fan of The Boss) Pure quality.

Also recently rediscovered my love for Incubus, Ella Fitzgerald and The Police.

Snap, VIF, but for Shannonside read LMFM. Possibly the foremost reason that I very much disassociate myself with any non-GAA-or-Slane connections to Meath!

Having gone to St Finian's in Mullingar and therefore being of the Adrian Kennedy nighttime-listening variety, Michael's dulcet tones were a bit of a rarity. You do know that he's not doing the night-time slot any more?

Anyway, Michael Gerard for five hours a night was one thing. Listening to Dermot flipping Finglas for the other 19 hours playing his Country & Irish muck is quite another.

Yea S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is class. It never gets old. I really liked A Crow Left of the Murder too, it was such a cool change for them. His voice is amazing too.
I also discovered a live version of Brandon singing with No Doubt, doing a cover version of Message in a Bottle by The Police. Quality!
