What's Your Current Obsession?

[Thomas Sway]

So obviously, everyone's listening patterns change constantly. I'm bored - so here's a random thread.

What are you currently really into in the last few days? Stuff that you're listening to basically constantly and are so glad that you have. The new hot albums for ya if you will.

I'm really into
The Music - Welcome To The North
this band is incredible. I absolutely love them. It's like U2 meets Oasis. Tremendous.

U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
Speaking of U2, I absolutely love them. If you hate the single, check this out anyway. Most of it is softer acoustic material.

The (International) Noise Conspiracy - Armed Love
I don't know why I didn't check this release out earlier. I love their older material. Anyway, it's a bit more produced than their earlier stuff, but it's still great.

I'm also randomly really into Billy Talent, Trail of Dead, and Mars Volta again lately as well.

[WakingTheMisery]

pretty much any band on solid state. mainly he is legend. solid state puts out some kick ass records.

[LoserlyFirefly]

Pretty Girls Make Graves - The New Romance
and
a Death Cab For Cutie mix my friend made me which has mostly songs from Transatlanticism.
I saw them on the 3rd which was very awesome even though i had to leave early.

[MaybeOneDay]

Well, they're not new albums or anything, but the records i've been spinning the most lately have been:

The Pietasters - Willis
[catchy, upbeat, fun. what more can you ask for from a ska band ?]

Buck-O-Nine - Twenty-Eight Teeth
[some of my favourite songs ever are on this album. i think that's saying enough.]

The Aquabats - Fury of the Aquabats
[so stupid it's hilarious. not to mention, they have songs that are nearly impossible to get out of your head. awesome band.]

si i take you pretty much only listen to ska?

[drudo182]

I've always been into Relient K but "mmHmm" is blowing my mind. Great album. We will see how I rank it with their others later...

-drew-

[MaybeOneDay]

About 99% ska i'd say.

[aolsux]

- Say Anything - Is A Real Boy
Brilliant album, Bemis is a genius. My favorite of the year (this along with Northstar - Pollyanna).

- Codeseven - Danceing Echoes/Dead Souls
My current driving CD. Lovely lyrics, beautiful melodies, wonderful ablum. Going to be high up on best albums of the year.

- Releint K - Mmhmm
The last RK album Two Lefts was really bad. I lost most hope in this band until I heard they were gonna be releasing a new album. This new album rocks. I've been pulling it out countlessly and listening to the awesomeness. Another contender for top 10 albums of the year.

[InterpolAntics]

Iron & Wine, Interpol, Converge, The Counting Crows, JR Ewing, Husker Du, KIll Your Idols, XChampionX..

That's what I listen to the most on my Winamp playlist.

what does your winamp playlist have to do with anything? My windows media player counts that i have listened to MSI- ***got the most. doesn't mean i am listening to it now.

[X Out The Eyes]

the rocket summer.

[WakingTheMisery]

woooowwwwww.... since when does it blank that word?! does it do lesbian too?

[WakingTheMisery]

shucks

[InterpolAntics]

What the hell are you talking about?

[MrChainsaw389]

I've listened to the Punchline cover of Round Here like 30 times today.

[WakingTheMisery]

haha... the word

[InterpolAntics]

No, you were making a comment about my playlist. What was that all about?

[WakingTheMisery]

No, you were making a comment about my playlist. What was that all about?
oh never mind. i'm dumb. pretend i'm not here...

[InterpolAntics]

? Alright dude, sounds good. Hah.

[punklet2101]

Okay here's mine at the moment.

- Love Spit Love
- The new Jimmy Eat World and The Used albums
- Underoath (new and old)
- The OC Soundtrack
- DJ Tiesto

[Louise Heng]

At the moment? For bands it would be Brand New and Thursday. And for albums, JEW - Futures and David Usher - Hallucinations.

[towhatend]

Eagles and Petey Pablo

[Nate_RAWKS]

I've listened to the Punchline cover of Round Here like 30 times today.

Great cover!

[Tyler Revolution]

Relient K
....WOW....


Same here. This cd is amazing.

[Thomas Sway]

Eagles and Petey Pablo
awkward

[im_random]

I've been listening to tonsss of Howie Day and Saves the Day lately

[APC]

Howie Day? Haha, my mom likes him.

[Bishop]

Interpol - I've been listening to Antics and Turn On the Bright Lights constantly.

Between the Buried and Me - The Silent Circus. It's agressive but also has some very melodic parts. Just a good album.

Jeff Buckley - Grace. If you don't like this album then you should kill yourself.

Strung Out - I love them and the new album isn't half bad, but I don't like it as much as their older stuff.

Bright Eyes - Lifted... Yeah. I like it.

[Aileen]

jimmy eat world - futures (for obvious reasons)
armor for sleep - dream to make believe (i listened to this album for the first time last week)
emanuel - soundtrack to a headrush (i've been stuck on them since january)

[im_random]

Howie Day? Haha, my mom likes him.

haha well I'm glad. Howie Day is fucking AWESOME

[Thomas Sway]

Funny, because I love Moms

[Shellular]

Funny, because I love Moms
I think I might want to marry you again.

[Throwback]

Cowalker.

[Speyside]

Most recently it has been pretty much anything and everything Thursday. I'm learning all of their guitar stuff at the moment so I've been listening to it nearly constantly. Beyond that though, Jimmy Eat World, but I always listen to them constantly so I'm not sure that counts.

[Thomas Sway]

In completely unrelated news - I vote for a Cure cover album with GOOD bands on it.

Like that Get Up Kids cover? Fucking amazing. Anberlin? 311? These things are golden. Smashing Pumpkins? I mean holy shit.

Everyone loves/covers The Cure, so where is the ultimate fucking cover album?

[Tyler Revolution]

Even though I'm a christian, I normally despise christian music cause how cheeesey it is, or how it lacks talent. Yet this cd pushes the stereotype quality far away.


Agreed. I have always loved these guys, they are one my all time favorite bands. This album is easily in my top 5 this year.

[Thomas Sway]

OOoh top five. I need to start working on my list to be posted at year end!

GLORY!

[Speyside]

Speaking of cover albums, who else was disappointed that Taking Back Sunday weren't on the The Police cover album doing "Message In A Bottle?"

I love The Cure as much as the next guy, but I've never been able to find a good cover album for The Smiths.

[Tanooki Suit]

There are no good cover albums for The Smiths, goddamnit. But there are a few tunes I've gleaned from here and there that are good. I'll share the wisdom:
Death Cab for Cutie - This Charming Man
Braid - This Charming Man
Braid - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Stars - This Charming Man
Cursive - Frankly Mr. Shankly
Supergrass - Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

Anyways, as to my current obsessions, well I guess I have a few:
Bloc Party (awesome new band)
Despistado - This Emergency Response EP
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn (way better on second listen)
The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives (I don't see how this couldn't get best punk album of 2004 by anyone)
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin (BRILLIANT)
Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman, I'm A Machine (still... goddamn it's good)
And, lest I forget,
Cursive - The Storms of Early Summer: Semantics of Song

[gmc14]

[drudo182]

Releint K - Mmhmm

How was "Two Lefts" really bad? Its similiar to the new album in so many ways. They both have lots of piano use in them. Defintely stepped it up in both albums...

[-whisp-]

rise against

[Chemical Love]

i've been listening to the john butler trio and this puruvian singer diego fernandez.

[Tanooki Suit]

AGAINST... THE... PERUVIAN MONSTER!

Man Man kicks so much ass.

[BuriedAlive]

Daphne Loves Derby

and New Found Glory and HomeGrown.

[Throwback]

Relient K - I've seen this band live SEVEN times. I loved them dearly until Two Lefts... I lost alot of faith and thought they had been victimized by the 12 year old girl scene. MmHmm is an amazing pop album. Life After Death and Taxes is one of my songs of the year for sure.

Cowalker - Sweet local band. They perform one of the greatest songs ever called Kali. Go to www.cowalker.com and download it. I promise you won't regret it.

Say Anything - Much like when I first fell in love with Deja Entendu everytime I listen to this record, I swear I find another thing I love whether it be a lyric, a lick, or whatever.

[Throwback]

-drew-

All the songs in Two Lefts drug on FAR too long and In Love With the 80s is a really annoying song. Also, the songs just seemed to chug along. Blame it on my short attention span but after the beauty of The Anatomy... my expectations were way high and Two Lefts just seemed to be following the pattern set up by The Anatomy (acoustic ballad, heavier 'darker' track, etc.). I can't explain it, but its a subpar album. MmHmm blows it out of the water.

[Tyler Revolution]

This is how the order of their albums goes, from best to worst:

1. Two Lefts...
2. MmHmm
3. Self-Titled
4. The Anatomy


But, I love all of their cds with passion. That is the order that I like them in, but I don't like one of their cds much more than the next. And I don't think that Two Lefts sounds much different than MmHmm. It all sounds like good ol' Relient K to me.

[Hilikus]

Teh Blood Brothers.

[The Bled 13]

Holiday In Spain is amazing.

If you haven't heard already you should check out Mrs. Potters Lullaby and Colorblind.

I can't stop listening to Interpol and Iron & Wine, both bands are soooo awesome.

[The Bled 13]

I see, well Mrs. Potters Lullaby is amazing. It's like an 8 minute song but it's wonderful!

[The Bled 13]

Gnarley yo, tell me what you think when you get a chance to listen.

[FallingOut]

I am completely and utterly obsessed with wanting an Ipod. Its sad.

[The Bled 13]

I could go for some crack rocks right now.

[The Bled 13]

I hope you aren't being serious...



Haha.

[The Bled 13]

Well, you're asking the wrong person. I have never ever smoked crack before. And I never will.

That's a shame, I think it's a great song.

[Zeran]

crack is like weed right? gets you high? but more?

[The Bled 13]

Haha, yeah, but it has coke and... ammonia.

[BuriedAlive]

haha.

[Bishop]

Crack is cocaine mixed with baking soda... I think.

[The Bled 13]

..And I think I tasted egg and cinnamon.

[punk_drummer]

Mrs Potters lullaby is fantastic, one of my favourites :lol2:

[-whisp-]

Counting crows - Round here (piano/acoustic) + Holiday in Spain.

they quenched my thirst.

counting crows- round here, is such a beautiful song.
