So many bands I've got just sitting in mine without giving them more than several passive listens. Some waiting for me to become obsessed, some (frankly) will just sit in there giving my ipod more cred, I suppose.

Animal Collective
Anything Will Oldham
Bright Eyes
Elliot Smith
Elvis Costello
Zappa
Leonard Cohen
Mars Volta
PJ Harvey
Sigur Ros
Talking Heads
Yo La Tengo....among others.

albums I keep meaning to put more time into...

Vader - De Profundus
Tool - 10000 Days
Amorphis - Skyforger
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Soundgarden - Louder Than Love
Nirvana - Bleach
Slayer - World Painted Blood
All the Queen albums (instead of just listening to the two hits/best of collections)
Foo Fighters - The Color and the Shape
Danzig II
Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Will Oldham, Elvis Costello, Lenny Cohen--three bodies of work I'd not want to be without.

I don't think I really have anything I haven't listened to at least a few times. I still buy 98% of my music, so it's rare that I go on any kind of spree that results in stuff sitting around gathering dust.

the only albums i dont listen to on my ipod are the walkmen, mainly b/c outside of the rat these guys gargle my balls. well that and animal collective, which i will probably delete

Don't be a cretin, Gods' Die.

Yeah...sometimes I go on downloading binges, and don't have enough time or patience to get into all of it. But it's paid off a lot over time. Something will trigger some interest and I'll already have their shit loaded onto my ipod, and then I become a huge fan of their work. My poor computer doesn't move very fast though, and I'm probably on some FBI's wanted list.

In due time, mon frère...and you certainly use that word a lot, you must really want to spread social awareness of cretinism.

I also employ it is an adjective to describe those who are either unable or unwilling to enjoy a good gin & tonic.

But seriously, give Remain In Light a few spins as soon as you can.

i'm mostly caught up right now but i've been meaning to get deeper into Talking Heads stuff, too. today might be that day.

everyone listen to the talking heads today

What are you waiting for.

They have so much damn music. It intimidates me. And it's not like I haven't listened to several of these guys' albums a couple times; I just haven't dived headlong into them cuz it hasn't completely caught with these guys for me yet.

most likely new glasses, and a summer scarf.

I don't like Elliot Smith at all. What am I missing here?

Taste

I was going to say something like that but I didn't want to be a jerk.

I can get behind this post. I'm completely unacquainted with all those artists because they're so prolific that I don't know where to start, or, maybe more precisely, where not to start.

I think it's his voice. It just turns me off completely for some reason.
