Saturday Night Tunes

by bigfatdrunk on Oct 23, 2010 6:39 PM CDT

Howdy my peeps! It's time for a new installment of everybody's favorite fluffy bunny series, Saturday Night Tunes. Instead of linking to why we're here, I'll just re-hash:

I'm too busy to post anything of actual substance.
Tim takes my kittens hostage and sends me clips of them meowing in indescribable pain.
I throw a fluff post up to satisfy my blogging overlord, thus receiving my kittens back.

It's a vicious cycle. Join me after the humpty-jump for what I've been listening to lately.

Getting the most play after my emusic.com refresh has been Mogwai's Rock Action. This is the second album I've grabbed from them, and I find it to be delightful working music. Foals' Total Life Forever has also gotten a significant amount of play. The Talking Heads influence on Foals is readily apparent, but they also, for some reason, remind me of The Cure.

Devo has something new out! Did you know?! I did. I heard a great interview on NPR, and I was excited about their new release, Something Not for Everybody. And I'll be damned, they were right: this album is very unimpressive and uninspired.

And, yes, I must admit I'm still not over this very odd chick rock phase starring The Asteroid Galaxy Tour, Wavves, and most embarrassingly, Sleigh Bells.

What about you people? What have y'all been listening to?

Not everyone's cup of tea

but I have become a big fan of bone-crushing dubstep. It’s like if techno and a wicked baseline decided to have a filthy illegitimate child.

Just try the link, and make sure you are listening with excellent base -

I've been on a Citizen Cope kick the past week or so...

Dunno why that’s been the kick, but it could be worse…..

Not so, my Javelina friend...

Their first three albums are in heavy rotation on my stereo. Of course, they nosedived pretty hard after that.

Today, completely out of the blue, I started thinking about how awesome a song “Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers” is, especially Billy’s guitar solos. Fantastic album all around.

Yeah, LaGrange is the one that sticks with me...

Not very creative on my part, but that intro just really gets me going…

Re: Kittens

BFD, you should know that Sprinkles died a coward.

Oh, and I highly recommend Reckless Kelly.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Reckless Kelly is great.

I was at a Randy Rogers band show in San Marcos this week and Cody Canda showed up and said that Cross Canadian Ragweed is breaking up. Sucks.

What's so embarrassing about Sleigh Bells?

I saw them live a few weeks ago and it was excellent.

Anyway, I recently found out that Agalloch, my favorite band ever, is releasing a new album next month, so I’ve been jamming to get myself pumped up. Goddamnitiwantitnow.

Been waiting for Marrow of the Spirit for a while now.

Quite a few things hold my attention at the moment.

I’ve been stuck on Summoning and Windir for close to a year now.

Ihsahn, probably my favorite musician, came out with a new album this year as well that I’m really enjoying; something about incorporating a saxophone into his style of black metal is really appealing. I still much prefer his work with Emperor though.

And Borknagar‘s ’Quintessence’ album has been the only one in my car for the past few months.

If you like saxophones and black metal

you should check out Sear Bliss, if you haven’t heard of them.
