Playlouder - Music is the Network

We are listening to 'The Best of Creedence Clearwater Revival'

It's pret-ty good

we're listening to the sound of people typing

is that some avant garde thing?

or are they doing it for a good reason?

we're in a different office

i can see that!

ghost chair

it's very quiet here today

Maybe we'll steal your keyboard...

maybe we won't

apart from the credence, obviously

ooh, that's a plan

:-)

:(

I put on the Linda Ronstadt album with Nelson Riddle

backpacker hip hop grooves @ ireallylovemusic. a babygrande mixtape that came with HHC is currently shaking the walls, soon to be followed by some rawkus class.

We are now on Weezer's new one. Keeping it classic American this morning...

but i have to say, Nelson Riddles stuff with Frank sinatra are just fantastic. I sometimes think i should buy all those classic Capitol-era albums, but never get around to it.

weezer got a bit too 'goofy american adolescent' for me

i've put shellac on in my headphones

yeah it's gone downhill

I had to take a moment to sample some rare Pogues tracks

I am now listening to 'Hilary and Back' by Aidan John Moffat, and 'Weir's Way' by L. Pierre at the same time. It's actually quite good, even though this may be a sign that my liking for arab strap and their spin off projects might be becoming a problem...

now Leonard Cohen

Creedence are are amazing! Nothing compliments a sunny morning quite as well.

w just heard we smoke fags

JAmie will have something to say about that I'm sure

we'll see

What the f$%& ARE we listening to right now?

makes me want to collapse and die of an overdose

I dunno

I'm on more Arab Strap

I'm in a brilliant mood today, as you can probably tell.

the disappointing new no age record

so far this morning - MBV, Codeine, Cobolt, Candi Staton and some B&S

I been hitting hippie the sh*t: Donovan, Love, Phil Ochs, B&S, Neil Young (total hippie), Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen (not really a hippie), Lindisfarne (defo hippies), Black (hmmm), Big Country (hmmm - sort of hippie / new wave)

Bit of The National now

Interpol - back when they weren't shit

Amen. Re Interpol

eluvium

Oh, you're not listening to Amen then?

COMAAAAAAAAA AMERICAAAAAAAAAAA

etc.

hush

sorry

got the new my morning jacket on, sounds good stuff so far

Indian Jewelry - Free Gold!

sort of Bardo Pondy Jesus & Mairychainy

sort of

aah are they any good jamie?

doh

wrong thread

clearly they are

s i'm listening to them

i thought this was the 'new releases this week' one

a-ha

is there any way we can (in the new format) make certain topics 'sticky' like in crappy old forums

os I fear I may be stalking too many chats to easily access ones I'll often come back to

like this one

hmm, i think the stalk page has to be improved really

you could, as a stop-gap measure invite yourself to the chat

and that'll keep an invite at the top of the page

you can see what you are stalking on your home page

yes

but when you're stalking a lot of stuff

things tend to get lost

Also - if a chat has been dead but you don't want to start a new one

not that there's any harm in that

I think that's what alex did with the 'waht are you listening to now' last week

The Vichy Governmet

they were right - it WAS a test of endurance

I failed

now...

unfortunately billed as the buddhist billy bragg

ut it sounds okay

sounded like a really bad simon bookish impersonation

or aidan moffat's talentless irish cousin

with a casio keyboard

I didn't feel I was being offered an insight into thigns I'd never thought of before

or any particular linguistic achievements

padma is boring me now

boring version of Simon Green

give him one more track after this

I don't mean simon Green, incidentally, I mean Simon Breed

Wild BEasts - limbo, Panto

V

Silver Jews

I'm shunning the communal office listening today :-)

Neu!

We've got AC/DC on

it's amazing

"Angus, Angus!"

New Alkaline Trio

ac

e

also the new Offspring album has a song called 'Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?' which I find amusing

Animal Collective "Strawberry Jam" Then going to give their new EP "Water Curses" a go to see if it's any cop.

Wild Beasts "Devil's Crayon" Ace Track. Boring Video.

aha

now YOU can solve that problem

What Problem?

the video boringness

Ah

I quite liked it though

I just saw the video for Peacebone for the first time beforehand though, so I guess it would pale in comparisson. There was Ferrari's and monster's in that one. If you ask me, that should be a prerequisite for all music videos.

admittedly not very eventful, but I like the art style or whatever you'd call it

monsters?

what types?

That is true. However, it leaned into Editors territorry a bit.

Bug monsters, with big teeth and slobber!

Sorry, big monsters

Though they were a bit buggy

Hang on.......

...you should have that now.

MONSTERS!!!!!

hmmm...

It sounds like Conor Oberst, except I don't want to hit him quite as much.

a-ha

Don't get me wrong, I like Bright Eyes, but Oberst could probably use the toughening up.

a good hiding...

Exactly

I like this AC video

watched this before I went to see them the other week, then it was one of TWO songs I recognised

Yes, I am quite taken with it as well. I only saw it for the first time the other day

Awww, sucks when that happens

WAs Fireworks (Terrible video) the other one?

couldn't say

t was a sslow one off water curses

can't remember the name
