Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

I personally rank the Linkin Park albums in the order they were released but all three are in my pod.....for now at least.


Today : NIN - Pretty Hate Machine and Downward Spiral (one will stay in the pod and one will not)

Hardly play them M, but i think i liked 'Minutes To Midnight' the least too. Best thing about Linkin Park is the almost 3 mins per song formula. It works for them, could not see 'The Garden' or AFE' as three minute pop.

I know what you mean, K. LP 'lost' their way on the last one or perhaps their new direction is just not to my liking.

Today I am giving New Order a listen. So far: Power, Lies and Corruption and Brotherhood. These are not my favorites.

You know when you get those times (and those moods) when absolutely nothing in the collection is right??

Happens to me far too often. Usually when I get a bit low perhaps, or stressed or something.
Often very productive times to find new artists and discover new sounds. For ages I've dabbled with all kinds of 'weird sh*t' (to quote Mrs Birdsong.
Tonight I have had the first chance to play a couple of CDs passed to be by some Polish friends of mine who I asked before Christmas to recommend me some music. Most of it is missing the point completely, and some is classical (which I shamefully hardly ever listen to).

But right now I am enjoying a singer called Ewa Demarczyk (the Black Angel) who impresses me much.
Cabaret/torch/melodrama/unhappiness - what else would you expect me to say as a fan of garland/piaf/barbara/greco etc.

Not everyone's bag of course, but the diversity of our taste is something I have come to love about this forum.

Today I listened to New Order: International and Republic

The Associates "The Affectionate punch"

Sheryl Crow 'Detours' and The Feeling 'Join With Us'

Gary Numan - 'Replicas Redux'

Cd2 more to the point. Reasonable impressed with it all but 'Me I Disconnect From You' and 'Are Friends Electric' are the stand out tracks, for me. Not too different from the original album in some ways (for several reasons), but all in all well worth buying.

British Sea Power: Do You Like Rock Music?

Replicas Redux and Seventh Tree(official release)
