The Music thread

[Ruvaldt]

The name of Tom Waits' new studio album was leaked and so he released this video commenting on the situation after his "private listening party" is interrupted by the unfortunate news.  Also, the first single is available for purchase and download.  It has a Bone Machine vibe, but is as fresh as ever.

[HaemishM]

Love the Tom Waits video. The music does have a Bone Machine vibe, which is all of a good thing.

High on Fire is really not that heavy. I liked that too. I'll have to Spotify me some of that.

[Sky]

I'd put High on Fire squarely into stoner rock with Kyuss et al

Me just being picky because I hate that particular bit of nomenclature. I know that's what they call it but dammit, they shouldn't.

I touch of ass rock can be a good thing:   At Vance - Stronger Than You Think    Kamelot - The Black Halo

Today's download deal is the amazing Girlschool.  Kelly Johnson's monster lead chops, just great rock.

It still pisses me off that when I try and talk to people about this band they just stare blankly like they've no clue that there was a "girl" band out there that wasn't the Runaways (which people really only know about now because of the recent movie).

[Sky]

Ah, the Runaways. I had such a thing for Joan Jett.

And you can't forget the New York Dolls. 

[Selby]

I had a thing for Lita Ford before she went all plastic-y in the 80's.  Different times...

And you can't forget the New York Dolls. 

Heheh.  I like the Dolls too ;-)

New VNV Nation stuff up on Soundcloud in advance of the new album in September. Back to the floorstorming Empires vibe but with some of the melodic strains from the newer albums.

Noticed that they are playing Stuttgart a week after I go to the US which is typical - every time they play near me I have a trip to the US booked at the same time. Conversely they generally play Denver (more-or-less where I will be when I'm in the US) either a few days before or after I am there.


Also Joan Jett doing I Wanna be Your Dog is one of my favourite moments in rock.

Observe.

[ghost]

That was hard? Was more like a smooth hard rock to me.

I told you I was getting old.   

[jth]

Normally Touhou project music isn't that special, and I don't usually like this type of music anyway, but somehow I liked both this music and video a lot:

The diversity of music in the world never ceases to amaze me.

You must be mistaken since you didn't mention Bebop, GitS:SAC or Kurau Phantom Memory.

[Chimpy]

I think you missed the "recently". Or you define "recently" differently.

[Fraeg]

while initially sucked in by their videos I listened to a  youtube Polysics playlist while pvping and have come to the conclusion that they are a really really good band.

Mastodon is finally releasing a new album and there's some promo songs on Youtube:

edit: Curl of the Burl totally needs Chris Cornell.

edit2: Scott Kelly and Mastodon is always so good. Spectrelight is by far the best of the three.

[Fraeg]

hmm look forward to hearing the album.   Mastadon definatly deserve any and all attention they get.

[snowwy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-t6-XY7C7A Tinariwen. fantastic African music. Just watched them again here in Oslo, it's so mellow and relaxed. It just makes me happy to listen to them

[Sky]

New Mastodon...can't wait. Fiancee...not so much. The Necrosis guy isn't too bad on that track, normally I think the band is better without him. He fit good on the last disc as the Emperor, though...tortured undead vocals, heh.

The new Primus hits tomorrow, if anyone forgot.

Yeah, notice the "recently". But if we're talking about all time, Noir, .hack//sign and Hellsing had absolutely awesome soundtracks, and those you mentioned had great ones too.

Two weeks until the show at the Palace!

Not to mention the "one of the".

[Viin]

What is GitS:SAC?

[jth]

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

While on my current anime/jpop spree, I found (again) Sound Horizon... their concerts are pretty awesome experiences. One high point is this Ark/Yield live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHpbwRRYqcY

[Nebu]

I've posted some music by this guy before, but I thought this was an amazing interpretation of a Boston classic.

Igor Presnyakov: More Than a Feeling

Been listening to James Brown in the truck lately. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Go buy it now, and get down with your bad self.

[ghost]

Looks like REM is breaking up.  I can't imagine that too many people around here will care that much given the musical tastes I see, but they were certainly icons.  They should have done this a few albums ago, but that's okay I suppose. 

[HaemishM]

I didn't realize they were still together.

[Nebu]

I'm surprised Stipe is still alive.  The guy has looked sickly for 30 years. 

[Ingmar]

And sounded worse.
