The Electric Hellfire Club "Halloween Medley"

[Enoch]

In honor of Halloween, I'm listening to Eyeball Skeleton - Eyeball Skeleton.

 

Because what is Halloween about more than a couple of grade-schoolers making up songs about monsters?

[Darth Drabek]

That Eyeball Skeleton stuff is actually good! Catchy guitar and guitar... just listened to "The Smoking Turtle."

 

But now I'm gonna bring the funk with the Afghan Whigs channeling Stevie Wonder.

 

Going to Town

[Kor Qel Droma]

I can't get Eyeball Skeleton's page to load.

edit: they took down 'the shrink that grows'

 

It was deader than Hades' sex life at work tonight with it being Halloween and all, so I had the priveledge to listen to my ipod through the better part of the evening.

 

Highlights included :

 

Slade - Run Runaway

Todd Snider - Play A Train Song

The Wreckers - The Good Kind

[Lare Kikkeli]

The Futures - Mole People "Eletric Wave From The Underworld"

 

probably the best album ever.

[LadyCrimson]

Ah yes, the "new romantic" wave in the 80's.

[Plano Skywalker]

Celtic Fiddle Festival cd.........I have to say that watching Firefly has gotten me into the whole warm fiddle idea...good stuff, actually.

Theory in Practice - Colonizing the Sun

Iron Maiden - Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

 

It has perhaps the best guitar riff I have ever heard. Too bad the whole song isn

Neurosis - A sun that the never sets "A Sun That Never Sets" ()

[Baley]

I was trying to come up with a "best of the 90s" (album) playlist - you know - for the boring, never-ending morning subway rides... Enter The Wu, 1965, Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star, Liquid Swords, Bone Machine, Sackcloth 'n' Ashes, The Reality of My Surroundings, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Inna Heights, Blues For The Red Sun... and, I'm like: No Nomeansno? Melvins? Organized Konfusion? Poor Righteous Teachers? Tomahawk? Binary Star? Jeru The Damaja? Now, I suppose a story - or a random list of obnoxiously hipster words, whichever you prefer - deserves a moral, and the only thing I've got at the moment is this: I suck immeasurable amounts of whatever at making lists - so instead of my usual, well-to-do mindless drivel, I'm gonna dig up Funhouse.

 

The Stooges - L.A. Blues.

[Musopticon?]

Absolutely gigantic Halloween party. I can still only barely remember everything that happened, but I know I was at least once I was dressed as a catboy and wearing a pirate flag while talking with a guy that looks like Orlando Bloom even though he was wearing a lion mask. Neil Young & Crazy Horse was playing on the background, along with the sounds of a bunch of drunken witches trying to play some semblance of badminton, and the wine was really really cheap.

 

It was awesome.

 

Melechesh - Ladders to Sumeria

[Darth Drabek]

Badminton... at a party?

 

That is genius!

 

Also, kudos to the party-throwers for playing cool music and not caving in to "whatever makes the girls wanna dance."

 

Whenever I tried to get inventive with a party mix, it usually fell flat. Then I would just retreat to more vanilla mixes with plenty of Snoop.

 

Check out the video for The Afghan Whigs' "Gentlemen."

 

I love how he plays the voyeur. Nobody does "menacing lecher" like Dulli.

 

Oh, and any mix with late-Waits, nomeansno, 1965 and Liquid Swords would be a quite eclectic one. But you know that.

Edited November 1, 2006 by Darth Drabek

[Musopticon?]

I will. The last couple of parties have completely brainwashed me to Dulli's works.

 

Consequently, the badminton table broke in two parts at the some point. Probably somewhere around the time when the Abbath-lookalike asked the bearded woman to sit on it.

 

Goddamn that choker by the by, I still have marks on my neck.

 

Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen

[Xard]

Van Halen Big Fat Money

[LoneWolf16]

Breaking Benjamin - Dance With the Devil

meat puppets - comin' down - lake of fire

[Kor Qel Droma]

I have seen the information

on the lighter side of dumbness

I have heard the new statistics

and the stompin' on the ground

pickin' slowly up the rockslide

one thing always seems apparent

if the climb becomes too much

I can always turn around

comin' down from the mountain

I have seen the high and mighty

I will go again someday

but for now I'm comin' down

 

nice pick, DLJ!

 

Meat Puppets - Station

 

Too High Too Die is a great album

[Plano Skywalker]

Apocalyptica -- "Reflections" album

 

one of the few cds that is worth every penny brand new.

excellent stuff.

[Plano Skywalker]

Melechesh - Ladders to Sumeria

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

what are your favorite albums of theirs?

[Musopticon?]

I'd say the new one, Emissaries, is the best one by far. Spynxh is very good also, but I hold a special liking to Djinn, because it was my first Melechesh album. Spynxh and Emissaries are more coherent by far and there the sound is more refined, but Djinn has some amazing tracks, like Oasis of Molten Gold and Siege of Lacish.

 

I haven't heard the first one, As Jerusalem burns.... yet.

[Plano Skywalker]

is there any other band you would compare it to?

 

clean vocals or cookie monster?
