potm - 2008.04_chug

In all honesty, I spent more time this past month listening to talk radio podcasts than I did music. However, I did listen to enough tunes - beyond last month's lists - to pull something together. That being said I also have 11 tracks, rather than ten. Why? Well, because the one item that got the most listening to this past month was the Kings Of Leon CD. I could have listed the entire CD, and nothing else, but I didn't. Instead I listed 4 tracks and I was quite difficult to pick which four, well except for one (see below).

What Sound
Lam - What Sound

After RDA listed all those electronic tracks the past two months I spent a little time looking at my own electronic selection. This tune grabbed my attention.

Green To Me
Hum - Downward Is Heavenward

Yes, another Hum tune this month. This one however is quite a bit more upbeat and rockin' than last month. THe other side of Hum if you will.

Acrid Avid Jam Shred
Aphex Twin - I Care Because You Do

This electronic track is one of my favorite from back in the day. Aphex Twin will always be my favorite electronic artist and this song really just brings me back.

Knocked Up
Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times

I have listened to this track maybe 25 times this month. It is haunting me like no song since "Lazy Eye" by Silversun Pickups. This song sets the table for a great album. A. GREAT. ALBUM.

Charmer
Kings Of Leon – Because Of The Times

True Love Way
Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times

Trunk
Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times

0.3
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

Voices
Saosin - Saosin

Letter To Myself
Mad At Gravity - Resonance

Flaming Heart
Meat Puppets - Too High To Die

RDA potm: April 2008

Pushin' Forward Back

Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog

I was encouraging my daughter to push a ball across the floor and, for some reason, this got stuck in my head for a few days.

The Fad

Chevelle - Antisaint

Greg's selection last month got me to listen to the album again.

Feathers

Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 2: No World For Tomorrow

Not my favorite song on the album but the chorus gets in my head.

Acid Rain

Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment 2

Came up in shuffle - one of the better tracks from LTE of either album.

See Emily Play

Pink Floyd - Relics

I have no idea why - but this song got in my head while mowing the yard. It's not my particular style - but I can see genius here. Much like how I see genius with the Beatles later stuff. Interesting song.

Geek USA

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

I have been listening to this album all month and this song is just what I fixated on. Great album.

Unemployable

Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam

I think the story format of Eddie's lyrics are brilliant as always. Great deep cut from PJ.

Dark Star

Beck - The Information

Groovin bass backbone to this tune.

Villains

The Verve Pipe - Villains

Ahh - it's spring and I can smell the rain. That defines this album.

Fireal

Deftones - Adrenaline

In the early days - Deftones had a lot more "alt metal". The riff that repeats for the last half of the song is that sound. Awesome riff - definately of of my favorite Deftones songs.
