Playlouder - Music is the Network

This was quite a fun topic on a site I used to work on, and I discovered a fair few great records through it. Tag whatever you're listening to at the moment, and tell us about it!

Currently listening to Sleeping States - lovely folky low-fi pop, kinda like Fanfarlo I guess.

Also shades of Papa M in there somewhere. Very pleasant

new album by "supreme beings of leisure" - 11i
basically this is for fans of air.
nice rich deep electronically enhanced pop.
perfect for those stressful days @ work.

umm - chat is busted !? i wrote several lines - only one appeared ?

supreme beings of leisure - 11i
air type electronically enhanced pop music. lush and rather nice for those stressful days

yup. only 1 line appearing.

sometimes you have to refresh if your connection to the server's lost.

refreshed. here goes.
i added the detail that Supreme Beings of Leisure make lush cinematic electronically enhanced pop music a la Air. very nice.

nope. still one line.

oh I think I misunderstood what you meant, sorry

aah sorry mark, I'm working on that right now. It's a bit of a bugger... bear with me and it will be sorted in about a half hour or so. Your posts are saved in their entirety, they're just not displaying properly

...while listening to some very nice alt.country

ah ha ... fair enough ..

i need to bring some headphones in

for private listening

never remember though

just blast it loud, rock on

we have a music server for that

but its sound card has shit drivers

so you have a music server with no working sound card

rather just bring on the olde 286

it's a powerpc mac running linux

yellowdog?

we should put osx back on it

it works but with shitty sound

and get mpd from fink

yeah

mpd with AAC support would be nice

if that could be compiled in

i think it can

fink is debian's system, i use another one... cant recall the name

macports

or darwinports? or are they the same thing

darwinports was the old name for it i think

{darwin|mac}ports uses bsd's package tree i think

some sort of bsd anyway

yeah ports

dunno if its pure bsd or gentoo's variation

speaking of music

hahaha

ive been listening the vampire weekend album

it's funny

its rteally good, theyre playing hoxtons bar and kitchen on the 17th, its already sold out

whats funny?

i thought that 'speaking of music' was sarcastic

referring to the above geekery

i think this socket-server-live-chat thing encourages more conversational chatting

which means chats are more likely to wander off topic

not necessarily a bad thing

anyway

I'm not massively impressed by Vampire Weekend

had it on yesterday and it was all rather forgettable

will give it another go today though

its really cool, but ive been listening to a lot of oldies so its refreshing "new material"

ive just picked up a few albums from the years top lists because im lazy

roisin murphy's album is amazing

i dont know who was the producer but it really bring up her connection with french house

back to geekery then

having a music server that doesnt have a working sound card is so classic geek

in a hacker kind of way

lots of people say good things re the Roisin album, but i just cant get past the cover. oh and the single i heard was crap, but apparently that wasn't a good track to lift

i havent seen the cover

Roisin is in a cafe in a fucking weird outfit. she looks barking mad on it basically

yeah I saw that video too because Iain Moffat listed it as his #1 single this year. I just couldn't get into it though

it doesnt work like that, its a club album, im listening right now, its not the same think

thing

i think you have to listen to it loud on speakers, theres a lot of bass and details

im missing Moloko now

I definitely miss Moloko, of the weird 'Do You Like My Tight Sweater?' era

ah

/me dances around the disco ball

Pig Destroyer 'Phantom Limb' Relapse

should be working now mark - sorry about that, it proved to be a real arse of a bug to track down....

well done timc.
i feel i should join in now and do all manner of tagging, but i get lost and confused easily.
anyways to break the groove of singer songwriter/guitar type of stuff, i feel i stand alone by listening to the Radio Slave mix of Rekids catalogue that was supposedly released in limited forms in Japan, but in a rare move for me, this is available via the net/blogs etc.
its bloody great.

ha ! now all my entries are expanded making the thread go all wonky and weird as i appear to be complaining about nothing.
no change there then.

Pig Destroyer 'Terrifier' Relapse

ah pig destroyer!

Some seventies and eighties albums I finally bought on CD just before X***: First And Last And Always by The Sisters Of Mercy; Manifesto by Roxy Music; Porcupine by Echo & The Bunnymen; Are We Not Men? by

...Devo. And there was a good documentary about Hawkwind on BBC4.

Forgot to mention / plug Gob$au$age! www.myspace.com/gobsausage

new Devo track : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtgw-tOj-o

wow

all these tags ! it all gets very messy. someone please tell me whats the deal with this new extreme tagging sport.

makes it clickable and linkable and findable!

oh, and i love that Devo track. for a bunch of old'uns it rocks like a classic Devo track

i sat at the same table as him in norway last year at bylarm

right you are paul - ta for that

ah great stuff

i fucking love devo

gerald that is

he was strange, but quite nice

clearly needed to be centre of attention - even at a dinner!

have you seen the youtube video of Mark Mothersbaugh playing "Mongoloid" on the piano at a dinner party?

i shall try and dig it up

aah, it's actualy Gerald Casale

with another chap on piano

awesome

hello :) can we check in ie, its going all mad again. but the player is working once more.

today im listening to: nothing at all.

but, i am legend is entertaining me in book form.

i would stay in a city too if i was the last man. imagine all the weird shit you could try out

get allthe statues and make an avenue of them on the milennium bridge, sweet

dont hurt me

"get allthe statues and make an avenue of them on the milennium bridge, sweet" - I think you've spent too long in Prague, sunshine!

there was this summer, with beer and food and friends. the statue people on the bridge were ok. but then the gypsy kids tried to steal all my dosh, but i didn't have any so it was ok. although there was this place full of skulls and things. my name isnt sunshine ;)

brilliant

hold on... to your face...

milanese - double face

that's a nonsense

Stylist: Angus Young

Still, anything goes...

hit and run!

Madonna - Burning Up. They were playing it in the coffee shop this morning on my way to work and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since.

the best pop song ever made

I must disagree, Paul - The best pop song ever made is in fact "I want you back" by the Jackson 5

This was one of the songs played at our New Year's Eve karaoke deathmatch and it is truly fiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!

ah kylie. id marry you. i hope you read this. your biggest fan. john. x

im loving this, this morning: http://playlouder.com/dhtml/#/tracklist/2471/various-artists-kraak-smaak-the-remix-sessions

great mixes. great funky coverart too. even got flowers and a ghetto blasta. right on man. right on.

jackson 5 i want you back is far too much like real music to be the best pop ever

never even heard of kraak and smaak ..

hmm .. ok. got it. not my thing but ta for the pointer karborn.

its great morning music. not usually my kind of thing either, but sometimes, something just goes. and today, for me, this does! happy new year marke :)

Kylie's shite.

Yeah, what exactly is the point of irony, other than to give gay men an excuse to take an interest in women?

Doh - I meant to write 'Kylie', not 'irony'! Freudian slip?

wow - that's a cracker

fuck you all, its back to kraak and smaak for me then! It's all because of kylie.

Moondog

hmm i suspect thats not the Moodog that rose out of the ashes of the bubblegum beatbox funk of Westworld i suspect ?

I'm listening to the rain and hearing something else

John Cage

marke, you suspect alot

Sister - Sebadoh

bjork - Unison - Ital Tek Dubstep Remix
