The "What song are you listening to?" thread II - Page 289

BoyBrumby · 06-10-2012, 05:36 AM

We Could've Been Someone - The Blackeyed Susans

Continuing my Dave McComb obsession, I've just procured All Souls Alive recorded during his brief tenure in TBS.

Truly, truly wonderful. Big, tear-stained torch song that nearly but never quite dissolves into a feedback squall at the end. Gives the impression of standing firm against the ****.

Last 3 songs have been

Kanye West - The One
Regina Spektor - Fidelity
Coldplay - Yellow

Common theme?

BoyBrumby · 07-10-2012, 05:10 AM

Ray of Light - Madonna

****ing top pop tune, tbh. Still would, ftr.

Does anyone know what this song is about?

you're not the boss of me nowww

BoyBrumby · 07-10-2012, 05:36 AM

Lola Stars & Stripes - The Stills

Love a band who know their music onions. Logic Will Break Your Heart a ****ing top name for an album. Have a song called Yesterday Never Tomorrow too.

So Stephen Stills, Neil Young & The Fabs for those playing along at home. Yep, good starting points, chaps.

gangnam style

again and again...

New York State of Mind - Billy Joel

Hey, look, I'm as surprised as you.The title's a sub-sub-Costello pun, admittedly, but I do like the sax.

Palm Singing - Bressa Creeting Cake

Catchy. Groovy. Tight. Awesome.

****in' oath. Brilliant song, superb bass line, liberal use of the xylophone. What more can you ask for? Underrated album too.

Super-stationnnnnnnn! You can get lots of thinngggss!

The entire album has been laser-engraved into my skull, the old man used to play it loads when I was little. Was good friends with the frontman iirc.

Currently listening to Transcendental Youth, the new album by the Mountain Goats. I loved The Sunset Tree, but this one definitely pushes it close.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor have been in high rotation as well.

New GY!BE is fantastic.

I've been too nervous to admit I listen to pop music in this thread. So thanks for breaking the ice. My iPod is full of heavy metal, rock, and alternative, so I need stuff like Madonna to break it up to get the right mix.

Only two types of music IMHO: good and not good. Won't say I'm a massive Madge fan as such, but she has produced a few rippers over the years.

Speaking of rippers:

Sleep - Marion

Riff and harmonica-tastic mid-90s indie minor classic.

The Cat Empire - So Many NIghts

I should hate Cat Empire for constantly repeating songs about how different they are, but it's all very sincerely cheerful and I can't help but find it charming.
