I have been listening to the Butthole Surfers a lot at the moment. Hairway is maybe my fourth favourite or even less. I think Locust Abortion Technician is my favourite followed by a tie between Rembrandt Pussyhorse and Psychic, Powerless.

Locust Abortion Technician is my favorite followed by Psychic, Powerless. Jimi is the stand out track on Hairway To Steven for me, one of my favorites.

i really want to get zen arcade, but its 25 euros here!!! so expensive

to live and shave in la - horóscopo: sanatorio de molière

at the moment my fave must be reformation post TLC by the fall, but i try not to listen to it too much before i get a proper copy.

My Brightest Diamond - Bring me the workhouse
Laura Veirs - Year of meteors
The Notwist - Shrink
Grifters - Crappin' you negative

Hairway to Steven and Rembrandt Pussyhorse are my two favorite Surfer albums, but the Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis EP is better than both of them. "To Parter" is one of my all-time favorite songs.

oh yeah, that track is wonderful! moving to florida is also awesome. but as a whole i think locust abortion technician is their best record.

godspeed you black emperor yanqui uxo

Burial - Burial

To many to list lots of punk and hardcore

Lately these have been getting the most play:

Leviathan - The Tenth SubLevel Of Suicide
Amon Duul II - Yeti
Boredoms - Super Ae

Slavo, what's that Burial record like. Obviously it was The Wires favourite record of '06 but I've also heard that it's actually quite boring. What's the deal?

It's Only Rock 'n Roll by the Rolling Stones. Fucking class A record.

what nefeli said, basically. Shit, that was my lines!!!
Have you been spying on me? :)

no, seriously. The Burial CD is probably the best grime/dubstep record that I've ever heard, but, having heard like 6 of them overall, it's not really a benchmark.
Their sound is deep, heavy and psychedelic, with focus on drones and swooshy sound layers. The rythm is not so dominant here, and neither are vocals. It's more a moody, haunting album.

I just thought that it certaintly shouldnt be an all year favourate. :D

I like the one that goes:''Doo Doo Doo,whoooo!!!! Dooo!!''.


Does anyone know it?

add a doo doo de doo at the end and i know it.

Does it have any "weeeeee-owwwwwwowowow"? 'Cos that would be High Rise's "Speed Free Sonic", which just happens to be my current favourite too.

pork is a crossdresser so it's probably that one... :p

eh?
:eek: :D

Tom Waits- Orphans
Beck- The Information
Super Furry Animals- Rings around the World

lately i've been dipping into liking reggae---haven;t really gotten into any full albums, but so far have liked what lee perry, carl livingston, and big youth i've heard.
