In one ear and in the other
Recent listening:
Undying - The Whispered Lies of Angels -- In the player right now; tight, catchy, way metal hardcore. They played the show I traveled farthest to attend (nine hours, give or take).
Mix du Scott -- Hot stuff from the Avengers, Descendents, Velvet Underground, From Ashes Rise and more. Scott's been informed that I'm not a Misfits fan and will tailor the next mix accordingly.
Pinback - 2002 Tour EP -- Music doesn't get much more fun than this. I love these dudes. Go buy their records.
Dismember - Like An Ever Flowing Stream -- ripping Swedish thrash/death metal from '89. Amazing music, less-than-stellar lyrics. At some point I'm going to write a long entry here about the relationships among artist, content, and consumer, which this record made me think a lot about.
Old Man Gloom - Christmas -- I've only listened to this twice so far, but it's pretty damn good. Heavy, throaty hardcore from Boston (and now L.A.) area all-stars.
!!! - Louden Up Now -- "Dance punk"? Try "bad 80's new wave mixed with Jamiroquai." Boring music made worse by pretentious vocals. I expect at least one impassioned defense of this band to appear in the "comments" section, but really... !!! = yawn yawn yawn.
Songs:Ohia - various -- Amazing singer/songwriter stuff. Occassionally sounds a lot like Neil Young, but is at his best when he doesn't.

all you have to do is ask if you want the first !!! album
Only under one condition: it must not suck.
It was just stuff I had listened to in the past 24 hours. Which didn't include On Fire.
