[linebaugh]

whats on the docket right now ?

 

[woops]

i am the #1 indie kid on this forum

2 of the most played albums in my house to this day are badmotorfinger and superunknown by soundgarden

i bought a few records in the last couple of years like aaliyah's s/t album (edit - i bought her first R Kelly produced one as well it's wicked), a couple of CDs by the Fall (coincided with reading about 5 fall memoirs), a couple of albums by my mates, i have to have a look to remember what else [...] that's it

 

[linebaugh]

badmotorfinger is an interesting album- somewhere between hair metal, thrash, and 90's grunge

 

[woops]

i also bought that album of idlerich's label but i haven't listened to it yet

 

[woops]

i like the sense of humour on that soundgarden album

 

[woops]

i also listen to the drive soundtrack a lot

 

[woops]

and, while i'm talking to myself, i got really into that madlib beat konducta vol 1-2 in the lockdown

I saw soundgarden at this tiny place (capacity about 200 people) as the opening act for mudhoney, back in '87, first time the two of them came to the east coast, when SG had only their first "screaming life" ep out. the room was filled with slightly nerdy indie rock types (no offense, I was was once one). then these long-haired metal-looking dudes climbed on stage, complete with shirtless singer, and without saying a word, opened with a ferocious cover of "communication breakdown". the place blew up.

if you're gonna go for it, might as well embrace your inner Robert Plant and go all the way.

seems they have a particular appeal to nerdy indie rock types. like some kind of crossover act.

that probably came from them originally being on sub pop, with all the indie grunge bands.

 

[woops]

oh yeah, i also really like portishead, and the knife, and fever ray a lot. should of mentioned them earlier

@thirdform seems to understand my taste which is weird cos we're not into the same stuff at all.

 

[Leo]

portishead are like burial for me: I like the idea of them, and some individual tracks, but an album's worth all starts to sound the same.

 

[version]

Dunno whether it counts as an album, but @william_kent put me onto this one when he posted it a few months ago.

dont give him any credit say you invented it yourself. give him nothing
