What are you listening to?

The Head and the Heart are from Seattle and have been my most frequent obsession for the last few months; i bought tix to their show i think at the beginning of August, so waiting so long to see them has been slowly killing me. and Peelander-Z is supposed to be insanity - a friend of mine basically is making me to go to the show, and i'm pretty excited about it. anything that combines ridiculousness and music is a win in my book.

Lately at the gym I've been rocking a lot of Girl Talk, Polar Bear Club and Doomtree's latest Wugazi (mashup of Wu Tang Clan and Fugazi available for free here: http://wugazi.com/ . It's seriously amazing)

Lately at work or in the car it's been Lucero, Hot Water Music, Ryan Adams and always the Replacements

And this has made me realise that I haven't listened to much psychobilly for a while. I think I need to change that. I am so jealous that you'll be seeing Nekromantix next week....though I have seen Zombie Ghost Train at least five or so times, which does make up for it a little.

Awesome! I found out about Zombie Ghost Train a couple of months after they announced their breakup. I think they only made it to the US once, and I think only California. Any other good psychobilly recommendations? I am always on the lookout for new music.

I've been pretty out of the loop with music for a while now, so I'm probably not a great person to ask for recommendation. As far as Australian bands go, The Casino Rumblers stand out to me. I also really like this Korean band called The RockTigers. I'll come back if I can think of anything else.

Hannibal, could you recommend some Central Asian music? Id be interested in hearing some.

I can't really say one particular artist or anything. I have a few compilation albums that I enjoyed:

Music of Kazakhstan, Vol.1

Music of Central Asia, Tajikistan

Music of Central Asia, Uzbekistan; Dombra Music of Kazakhstan

Mongolian Songs

The Silk Road: A Musical Caravan

And on a somewhat similar note, there's a 15 CD set called the Music of Islam that I highly recommend. Obviously it's not the same, but it's really good, traditional music.

Yes I will definitely be buying that album when it's out. After discovering Whiskeytown I've been hooked on Mr. Adams. Very good stuff.

Hannibal, those albums sound facinating. Now I'll have to look them up.

Just went running yesterday to the sounds of "Mambo #5" and "Shout" among others. Awesome.

New album is gonna be so ridiculously good, a la Heartbreaker/Demolition. Outside Cold Roses, I wasn't a huge fan of his Cardnials stuff. I mean, is was wicked good, but just didn't speak to me the way his Whiskeytown and early solo stuff does.

Today so far I have mostly been listening to Mogwai and Peeping Tom.

I'd not listend to Peeping Tom before today, they were suggested to me by a friend after I was raving about how much I loved Mike Patton in Faith No More.

I'd been meaning to check out some of Patton's non FNM stuff, and this pushed me in the right direction. Safe to say, I will be listening to some combination of Fantomas, Mr Bungle or Tomahawk next.

another DRA fan! awesome. I've pre-ordered the vinyl, b/c they're having a pre-order contest. Easy Tiger and Gold are some faves too. Been listening to Strangers Almanac A LOT lately... maybe most of today too :-)

I recently discovered Ben Howard as well and I feel pretty much the same way you do.

I'll post a few songs I like, however I do not listen to music when I lift.

I listen to a lot of other stuff, like dubstep, screamo, and a lot of indie music. If you ever want some music let me know, I just didn't feel like posting dubstep and screamo and I have too much indie music to post on here.

I lift things up and put them down!
