What if anything are you listening to now?

Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now. 

Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

Hoping that the APC live activity next year doesn't kick the next Tool album even further down the road (yeah, I know it will...)

 

Not too sure about that mate. Read an interview with Adam (iirc) where he said they know they're not getting any younger and don't want to leave the break between albums as long as the last two. That interview was about 18 months ago mind 

 

 

I'm sure that's the intention, it's just knowing them it could still end up being a long gap by the way they operate. I think the first bass player gave that as a key reason he left the band - he just couldn't cope with how long it took them to do anything.

I think it's been about 6 years since Fear Inoculum already!

This one could also belong in the better cover version thread but not sure that it is.
It stands alone as brilliant on its own terms.

Theres fuck all wrong with bangers . . .



 

 

 

Never said there was son.
However, if you were to take the time to understand the story behind both albums you'd perhaps understand why I mention this.
This is not a feelgood story. It's southern gothic.

Ethel Cain - Preachers Daughter

One of the best albums I've ever heard.
Religion. Abuse. Sexuality. Happiness. Canibalism (yes, really). Death. And resurrection.
Not 'easy' listening by any means, but fucking hell, rewarding.

Also, absolutely no 'bangers'. Thank fuck.

i just saw that Ethel is BBC 6 Music artist in residence this week, so might be of interest.

Going to see an Arctic Monkeys tribute band next week, so I'm in the process of making a playlist of their hits, so I can familiarize myself in zee gym

hopefully they play the earlier stuff, you can't wrong with any of the tracks on the first two albums

I’ve never really tried the Arctic Monkeys.  I’ll give those first two albums a go. 

dm, if you like drummers you'll love them. that's what always stood out for me, matt helders playing. also really well produced

Listening to a minidisc I recorded a while ago consisting of my favourite tracks from the first three Sophie B Hawkins albums. 

I can't help noticing that Hawkins sounds a bit like Hawkwind. You old raptorphile.

I had to look that one up.  https://songbirdconservation.wordpress. ... ptorphile/

anyway.  Back on Hawkwind.   Church of Hawkwind.  Absolutely cracking album

Man - Spunk Rock (Greasy Truckers Party (1972)). All 22:23 minutes of it.

It's a shame they fade it out only half way through. The Welsh spliff-heads were barely getting started.

Great stuff, though.
