What are you listening to right now?

[OpLan]

In Love With These Times - V.A.
New Zealand label Flying Nun sampler.
"Pink Frost" in the video thread made me blow the dust off this.I like the bittersweetness of the alternative NZ scene.I think the home made feel of the videos complemented the music perfectly.Might be a bit light weight for some,but I like all kinds of music.'Plastic Surgery Disasters' by the Dead Kennedys is an old faithful;that might be next now it's in my head.Or 'Old blue' by GrandPa Jones...

Donnie Darko Soundtrack by Michael Andrews
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko_soundtrack

"Manipulated Living" is a beautifully dreadful little track, and a favorite of mine for years. It used to annoy me that it was so short, but I appreciate it now. It has an impact to me like a horror short story spanning 3 pages or less, in that it gets in makes it's point and gets out while still being very disturbing.

A fantastic composition..

a Turbonegro day, I have played my favorites of 5 albums (my favorite is APOCALYPSE DUDES) and am almost done. Quite stupid but very musically powerful.

I think I am going to play the Dictators' GO GIRL CRAZY next.

I'm going to DC tomorrow and plan on playing the Clipse HELL HATH NO FURY and the new Ghostface (MORE FISH) on the way, switching to the Steely Dan box set if I get caught in traffic (DC traffic makes me very tense - Steely Dan is my chill-out default).

I like to plan such things!

I suspect I will have my ears shaken a lot over the weekend, my friends are quite into Merzbow, John Duncan and all kinds of pulverizing noise.

Fuunily Massive attack Protection right now,

But the next song I am gonna listen to is

The Guillemotts

trains to brazil.

When they could never have persuaded me,
That lives like yours, were in the hands of these erroneous fools

And to those of you who mourn your lives through one day to the next
Well let them take you next!
Can't you live and be thankful you're here?
See - it could be you, tomorrow, next year.

Bowie: Best of

[Joe Hillshoist]

Well I don't wanna spam this thread too much...

Just heard "These Days" by Powderfinger

And now "Shark Fin Blues" by the Drones

I'm posting the lyrics cos I feel pretty damn similar to how:

Standing on the deck watching my shadow stretch
The sun pours my shadow upon the deck
The waters licking round my ankles now
There ain't no sunshine way way down

I see the sharks out in the water like slicks of ink
Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
As he circles I look in his eye
I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light

See the albatross up in the windy lofts
He gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind
Gets to whippin' my ears like a riding crop

The captain once as able as a fink dandy
He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in

Well you are all my brothers, and you have been kind
But what were you expecting to find?
Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain

I sing na na nana nananana na
Na na nana nananana na

A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
A grappling hook's is cracked and dry
I said, why don't you get down in the sea
Turn the water red like you want to be?

Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss
Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink
They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks

Fin by fin
Fin by fin
Fin by fin by fin by fin


Just change that last line to:

Fin by fin till the whole WORLD sinks.

From the shows description:

The 'Belly Of The Whale' project is conceived together by
Interspecies and Greenmuseum

Together, Interspecies and Greenmuseum compiled a sample CD of 350 original underwater sound samples - sound samples of creatures including orcas, dolphins, beluga whales, sperm whales, humpback whales, Weddell and Bearded seals, lobsters, shrimp and water - and sent this samples as source material out to composers, musicians, and artists, to use this source material - the same material used by each artist - to compose electronic music with it. 19 composers responded with compositions:

Channel Crossing II - Jayne Fenton Keane #124; Club Delphinapterus - LapCore #124; Cetacean Somnolence - Yannick Dauby #124; Realtime Interspecies Music - Jim Nollman #124; Ricochet - Scanner #124; Anti-Japanese Whaling Song - Merzbow #124; Green - Christina Delia Giustina #124; Belly Up - Stephen Vitiello Drew Edwards #124; Pelagic Cycle -Janus Kober #124; Moby Dick Dives In The Ocean's Dreams -Thanos Chrysakis #124; Inside The Whale - David Rothenberg #124; Whale Belly Sound System -John Hanes #124; Dolphinator - Archive [aka Mike Hallenbeck] #124; Detritus In The Wake - Homer Smith #124; Navigator - Petri Kuljuntausta#124; Unexplored Depths - Nathan McNinch #124; Briny Claws - Kim Cascone

What's most compelling about this project is the thoughtful way that the artists have listened and responded, both individually and as a community, to the sounds of our underwater environment
