What's playing on the stereo? - Page 18

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory - I don't find it to be a great album, but it definitely has some good songs. Fun listening while at work or playing Quake. Favorite: Place For My Head.

elSicomoro · 03-03-2002, 03:03 PM

I liked the singles from Hybrid Theory, then the CD grew on me.

Revolting Cocks--Linger Ficken Good...: I listened to it the whole way through for only like the 2nd time ever. I was inspired by the "Buck Semen" thread.

03-03-2002, 10:40 PM

Paul Simon - Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard - Yeah!

elSicomoro · 03-05-2002, 04:48 PM

Dave and mmesker...both of you might be interested in this, as well as other folk:

Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode will be doing interviews tomorrow afternoon for the DM PPV that comes on Friday night. He will be on several stations including HFS (Washington/Baltimore), Q101 (Chicago), and The Point (Philadelphia).

Here is the full list of stations.

Cool, I can still get Q101 way out here in DeKalb, so I'll have to take a listen.

Do they really think this PPV is gonna sell? :\

To be honest, it disturbs me somewhat. The main reason I'm (probably) going to buy it is b/c Corbijn made the film. But I'm just wondering...why not show it in the movie theatres as a late night show, then put it to video?

Exactly. This is something I'd buy on DVD, not order on PPV.

And how come I can't get "Devotional" or The Cure's "Show" or "Playout" on DVD? Freakin' Warner Bros put out the AWFUL Smiths video ("The Complete Picture") on DVD, but we can't get DECENT ones? Bah.

elSicomoro · 03-09-2002, 11:11 AM

Okay, so I bought the PPV. Truth be told, I really wasn't into it for various reasons, but I videotaped it. I probably watched most of it while it was on.

You had your typical DM antics:

--Martin Gore wearing some ridiculous outfit.
--Dave Gahan getting half-naked and spinning around with the mic stand.
--Andy Fletcher acting like he's actually doing something with those keyboards.
--The fans waving their hands back and forth during "Never Let Me Down Again."

You had a few surprises, mainly Martin playing "It Doesn't Matter Two" and "Home," and hamming it up a bit with the Paris crowd. After DM played "Waiting for the Night," the crowd kept doing the chant at the end...even after the band played other songs.

As far as DVD stuffs, I would say that Warner Bros. will eventually put all the DM stuff on DVD. Mute is slowly converting their videos to DVD, although since those are coming out of Europe, I would imagine that that wouldn't help American fans much. (Much like the fact that most of their videos are in PAL format as opposed to NTSC.)

Now then, in the CD player...

Linkin Park--Hybrid Theory

Faith No More--King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime

Tool--Lateralus

Sugar Ray--Floored (yep, back in the day when Sugar Ray played songs that didn't sound like a rework of "Fly")

Jamiroquai--Synkronized and A Funk Odyssey (I can't stress enough how great both these CDs are)

Fishbone--Give a Monkey a Brain...

03-09-2002, 11:39 AM

Well, the first 3 are pretty good, but I'm not so sure about the rest...

*ducks*

elSicomoro · 03-09-2002, 11:44 AM

Ministry--The Land of Rape and Honey: Arguably one of the best alternative records ever created.

Danzig--4: Token Idiot inspired me to play this one. It's probably my favorite Danzig album.

As far as which Glenn Danzig band is my favorite, I'm not sure. I like the Misfits. I really don't know anything by Samhain. And I like Danzig. That's a toughy.

elSicomoro · 03-15-2002, 11:18 PM

Depeche Mode--Exciter: This CD has really grown on me. Great CD.

Limp Bizkit--Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water: I don't care for Fred Durst, but I dig the music.

Singles--Soundtrack: Great music from a great time. For the longest time, I refused to listen to the two Paul Westerberg songs on the CD...they too have grown on me.

Extreme--Pornograffiti: Most people remember Extreme for the acoustic "More Than Words." Others may remember lead singer Gary Cherone's ill-fated career move after Extreme's breakup--lead singer for Van Halen on Van Halen III. Extreme was a pretty damned good band though...rather underrated. Nuno Bettencourt is a guitar genius. Very versatile as a band.

elSicomoro · 03-29-2002, 02:48 PM

System of a Down--Toxicity: Intense...noisy. Better than their first record. I wasn't sure if I would dig the entire CD, but I must say that it is damned fine.

Reverend Horton Heat--Lucky 7: The good reverend has come back to save us all with his blend of rockabilly. Songs about fast cars, women, and his bassist, Jimbo Wallace. Probably his best record in 7 years.

Insane Clown Posse--The Great Milenko: I am not really a big fan of theirs, but I like this particular CD b/c it's simply ridiculous. Really off the wall and disturbing.

Depeche Mode--Songs of Faith and Devotion Live: Of the 395 CDs I own, 57 are DM CDs. Obsessed...or just devoted?

03-29-2002, 04:16 PM

Faith No More - The Real Thing - Best band ever. One of their finest albums. I don't think their diversity has ever been matched by another group or artist, and I'd have a hard time believing that it ever will be. Simply great.

While FNM is indeed great, Bowie beats 'em all on diversity.

elSicomoro · 04-25-2002, 09:35 PM

Damn...it's been almost a month.

Currently making their rounds on the stereo:

Seal--Seal (1994)

Pearl Jam--Yield and Vs.

Prodigy--The Fat of the Land

Ministry--Dark Side of the Spoon

Nine Inch Nails--The Fragile (disc 1), The Downward Spiral, and Pretty Hate Machine: I like all 3, but my favorite NIN CD is probably Broken. Now, if I could just find it.

Then, my tribute to Layne Staley and Alice in Chains:

Facelift: It's probably their cleanest sounding CD. It has the smooth glaze-like production. It's understandable--it came out in hair metal's last hurrah year of 1990. It still sounds great though.

Sap: I didn't like this when it first came out, probably because I expected a big heavy burst of grunge, rather than a stripped down EP. It grew on me though...and I appreciate it a lot more now.

Dirt: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. An absolutely fantastic CD. Kicks my lame ass.

Jar of Flies: A nice diversion from their standard fare. "Don't Follow" and "Nutshell" are outstanding.

Alice in Chains: To be honest, I didn't listen to this one as much as the others. I listened to it a couple of times this week, and I was really impressed. Layne wrote most of the lyrics for this CD (a job he usually shared with guitarist Jerry Cantrell), and he's a rather good songwriter. Not that he wasn't already, but this CD just showcases it.

I want Music Box, which is the 4-CD box set released by them 3 years ago. It has a couple of new songs, all the classic songs, several hard-to-get songs, and songs from soundtracks.
