Saturday Night Tunes

PrintSince we've got a few n00bs with us, allow me a moment to introduce Saturday Night Tunes. About once a month, and solely because I live in Austin, making me singularly qualified* to talk about music, we'll post an open music thread called, of course, Saturday Night Tunes. Feel free to chime in with what you've been listening to, unless it's bubblegum pop, because we'll laugh at you for that one. //looks at Jordann// Join me after the jump to be musically enlightened.
Let's get the part where y'all make fun of me right away: Asteroid Galaxy Tour (h/t DisplacedTexan), The Ting Tings, and Wavves are still getting plenty of playtime. Yes, it's true, I have been de-manned. Oh well.
But wait! There's more. Thievery Corporation, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Budos Band (and their latest, The Budos Band III), some old RJD2, and the latest releases from Les Savy Fav and Arcade Fire have all been kidding a ton of playtime, really depending on my mood.
However, if you want to get a true gauge of my mood these days, the heaviest rotations have gone to Cage and El-P. And, yes, I know I'm an old man and shouldn't listen to music like that. Deal. In my not so humble opinion, I think El-P's "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" is an absolutely fantastic album. I maintain.
As far as the latest Arcade Fire? I wasn't really thrilled with the last one, and I find "The Suburbs" only marginally better. On the whole, unless you've got something truly special working for you (for example, Asteroids Galaxy Tour's Mette Lindberg's completely mesmerizing voice), the indie sound just doesn't work for me.
For new releases, I'm intrigued by The Walkmen's "Lisbon," Superchunk's "Majesty Shredding," and Black Mountain's "Wilderness Heart." Oddly, they all three are in the just plain "rock" genre, definitely unusual for me.
How about you? What's had your ear lately?
* Actually, not so much. I just like listening to a diverse selection of music.

It's not my fault I like Ke$ha!
/hates that skank with a passion.
Been listening to a lot of The Weakerthans along with old Weezer, The Format, Rise Against and Brand New.
And I guess you can add some Temper Trap to that list too.
“i love bfd”? What kind of tag is that? You’re so needy, geez. No wonder why Beefy dumped you.
"Fuck you motherfucker!"
-Bernard Pollard-
stfu I unapologetically love Ke$ha
and I even saw her at the House of Blues. Amazing perfection, etc.
This string of posts is reading just like the comments at youtube, LOL!
I dub the Redskins....Shanny-cest!
No, I mean I didn't recognize the groups named by bfd so I went to youtube
while there, I read some of the comments and I’m telling you, I think I read that exact comment about Ke$ha and a bunch more. I thought someone copy-pasted them. I swear!
I dub the Redskins....Shanny-cest!
I'm totally on board with this
I mean, by all rights I should totally hate her, but for some reason I totally dig her.
I'll eliminate you like I eliminate gluten from my diet.

She kinda has that

I absolutely love “Tik Tok.” It’s a total guilty pleasure.

Coconut Records
And We Were Promised Jetpacks are in heavy rotation. I sort of hate my taste in music.
Someone else likes coconut records.
Fuckin A’! High five!

Let's see....5 most heard by my ears of late....
- A Chris Cornell mix of his best solo, Audioslave, and Soundgarden stuff.
- Coheed & Cambria ‘s "Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness"
- Outkast’s “Stankonia”
- The Roots’ “How I Got Over”
- Jack Johnson’s “In Between Dreams”
"Lord, beer me strength."
Out on the streets
where i grew up. First thing they teach us, not to give a fuck. That type of thinking can’t get you nowhere. Someone has to care!

For me
System of a Down (Serj’s new album out in a few days, woot!), Muse, Avenged Sevenfold, Chevelle, Flyleaf, are the 5 I’ve heard the most the last week or so.
The world's biggest BCS hater and damn proud of it!
Proud Colts fan boycotting StampedeBlue.com since 7/17/2010
The opinions of Brad Wells (BigBlueShoe) do NOT speak for all Colts fans. Most Colts fans are well informed fans and good-hearted people. Most Colts fans are not egotistical douchebags.
This has been a public service announcement.
Power Trio
In honor of the boys coming back to town next weekend I’ve been listening to music’s version of Schaub, Dre and Aquarian. That’s right, the best rock Power Trio in history… RUSH.
So it’s a pretty exciting upcoming weekend with RUSH at Cynthia Woods on Saturday night and crushing the Cowpatties on Sunday. I may not be fully recovered until Thursday.
It's Our Time.... or something...

What variety!
here are the albums I’ve been jamming recently:
The Roots – Things Fall Apart
Fleurety – A Darker Shade of Evil (the singer permanently damaged his throat on this one) and Min Tid Skal Komme
Grazhdanskaya Oborona – Vsyo idyot po planu (Russian punk, hell yeah! Too bad the guy turned into a straight up Nazi)
B.o.B. – The Adventures of Bobby Ray
in my CD changer today
Let’s see what’s playing today:
Marilyn Manson – Antichrist Superstar
Disturbed – Asylum (new one – it’s okay)
The Nixons – Halo
Godsmack – Oracle
A Perfect Circle – Mer de Noms
Our Lady Peace – Clumsy
I have no idea who any of those bands are that bfd identified. I think I am okay with this.
Got NIN’s Ghosts album synced up as I’m playing Dead Space, must admit, quite nice

new Linkin Park sucks
Coheed and Cambria – nYear of the Black Rainbow is awesome though.

I acutally like a fair amount of their stuff
but this new album has almost no actual content, and only a 1/3 of that actual content is worth listening to
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
Exactly
They have been going downhill since minutes to midnight, and they produce this crap. It sucks.

uhhhhhh
they aren’t really obscure anymore considering this song played nonstop for a good year

Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
considering that they've been around since 1996 & now barely getting noticed is a shame
but their latest album is awesome. As for that song, I don’t like that version, the original version is better

Texas rock
including Austin’s very own Lions – No Generation
and where would I be without The Toadies?
Let’s throw some Pearl Jam in there to bring back some old memories.
+1 for linkin park sucks
I’ll raise you Nickelback and Red Hot Chili Peppers on the sucking list
"When's the last time your mother went fast?" DA
Agreed and Agreed on Nickelback/Chili Peppers

Don't really understand people hating on the Chili Peppers
Maybe it’s because I don’t listen to them too much these days, but their older stuff is totally killer.

+infiniti for the Toadies
I saw Black Joe Lewis last Saturday, does anyone know if they are as good on an album as they are live?
by BrownCrayon on Sep 18, 2010 10:03 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
did you check out their stuff on youtube?
I’m willing to bet they’re much better live than they are on cd. Not to say they’re bad, I enjoyed the videos, I just bet they’re a live band band.
"When's the last time your mother went fast?" DA
I think I'm listening to the same stuff as the last time this came up
No specific albums, but the following bands:
Misfits
Judge
Operation Ivy
Seaweed
Bad Brains
Slint
Edsel
Tijuana Panthers (new punk band out of Long Beach…not that great…but with a name like that I’ll listen to ’em every time)
Now that it's a little later in the evening, I've calmed down a little....ok, a lot
Iron and Wine
Band of Horses
Charles Lloyd
Esperanza Spalding
+1 for Slint
I, amongst many other of the core contributors at Stampede Blue, are officially boycotting the site due to the deplorable "leadership" of head blogger BigBlueShoe. We ask, but do not expect, support, from you, our fellow fans, regardless of your team affiliation. The ideals of fairness and respect that are the foundation of this great sport that we all love should not stop at the chalk on the boundaries of the gridiron, but should continue through to the fans and beyond. To show your support you may email dhalprin123@gmail.com at SBNation and respectfully ask for the removal of Brad Wells as head blogger of Stampede Blue. Thank You.

It may be the Coors light and Weed
but I think his is the Texans song for this season.
I Want to Believe
ill agree with nickleback
but until you can play drums like chad smith, or play bass in the same name as flea, you cant say that the chili pepper suck. and if you think they suck, go get freaky styley, produced in ’85. one of the best rock/funk albums.
Stars - Five Ghosts, and thats about it.
I hate how little time I have to even pretend to care about music lately.

The Toadies.....holy crap it's been ages.
/looks around for Possum Kingdom on the internet.
because I am an old fart, I periodically revisit many older bands whilst I quietly search for the rare new jewels that strike my fancy.
this week:
Blue Oyster Cult
Ozzy/Sabbath
Rush (been playing the bejesus out of A Farewell to Kings and stuff from that period)
also some Clutch and Mastodon
"It's the sport of kings....better than diamond rings.....football."
I have somewhere around 7000 pieces of vinyl....
so many times the answer is yes. But I am in a years long process of transferring them to digital via a USB turntable.

I've been all over the map lately
I’ve been getting into some crazy dubstep stuff like Katy B and Magnetic Man, and euro rap (Stromae) but also listening to Toadies a lot as well as Mastodon. And then there’s the usual heavy rotation of Zep, Metallica, etc.
Also been grooving on Big Head Todd a lot lately. Always one of my faves.
