In this thread you tell us all some of the things you're currently excited about -- the things that are, at present, keeping you in love with music.

I'm excited about a few things. I'm excited that as electro fades out, its influence is spinning off into a wide variety of electronic pop material, whether it's close-to-home stuff like Death in Vegas' "Hands Around my Throat" or further afield -- like Erlend from the Kings of Convenience doing pretty-minded electro crooning, or even beats-and-pop projects like the Postal Service. (Even if I can't listen to "The Dream of Evan and Chan" without imagining Dando and Cat Power making out in a phone booth.) I'm excited that the soulseek folders of more and more teenage suburban girls have Xymox and Anything Box singles in among the Anniversary and Jimmy Eat World. I'm excited to catch back up with indiepop, some portions of which seem to be finding a purpose again: so many people claimed that Republicans and war would make people crave Real Raw Rock, but right now nothing clears my head after a long argument about Ariel Sharon better than the All-Girl Summer Fun Band. I'm excited to catch up on garage rap, which I'm learning is way more fun and accessible than all that talk about raw gutter tropes led me to imagine. And most of all, at the moment, I'm excited that my bank actually doesn't charge exchange fees for foreign-currency purchases, so my copies of the Jilted John and Girls at Our Best discs will be arriving from amazon.co.uk by the end of the week.

How about you?

Pop Front: I'm in a rut. I just keep listening to "Cry Me a River," "Wanksta," "Don't Mess With My Man" and the Clipse record in its entirety day after day.

Indie Front: I've been digging on the new Xiu Xiu loads, the Wanna Buy a Craprak comp and the Pitchfork reissue.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:19 (twenty-three years ago)

(Post-Yanc3y note: specific records are great but just general trends and interesting longer-term developments would be wonderful, too.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:20 (twenty-three years ago)

(also, my fave song for the past couple of months still won't go away: Masha Qrella's "I Want You to Know")(you can hear it here, if yr inclined)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahh... Sorry, Nabisco. Nothing comes to mind immediately, other than the legitimacy of the Source's Hip-Hop State of Emergency Summit (and the accompanying issue of the mag) when considering the mega-popularity of 50 Cent and R. Kelly plus the international-non-story story of that Times Square MTV freestyling fracas on Monday, which I witnessed first-hand and nothing really happened... Basically my thought boils down to: both the media (by which I mean major news outlets and wire services) and the labels are promoting artists/images that are detrimental to hip-hop in the long run, but no one cares because it's a mad grab for bills before the hip-hop sales slump (which recently started) really hits hard. But this should be its own thread.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm excited about the fact that my wife and I recently purchased our first car ever through which I've discovered that dance-pop-rock radio ISN'T all crap, and that in fact it's all quite thrilling on the road, and that the greatest radio station in the world right now is Z103.5 (Toronto), whose format I would characterize as: "Euro (60%) / Hip-Hop (15%) / R&B (10%) /Freestyle (10%) / Meatloaf and Bon Jovi (5%). But that's just one station; I can't believe how fucking great it feels to flip around the dial, how many amazing sounds and cool songs are out there.

― s woods, Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:33 (twenty-three years ago)

This thread is so necessary.

I'm excited that I am learning more and more to appreciate, if not to love, all the presently-popular genres of music. Rather than simply balk at something that rubs me the wrong way I take the time to piece apart what I do and don't like about the song. I think I owe ILX for that.

I'm a bit excited that the Michael Jackson homages on Justified have potentially allowed me to appreciate the innovations of Thriller to which I previously had been indifferent.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Lots of obvious stuff: Grandaddy, Luomo, Outkast, etc. Currently I think the indietronic-bent is yielding a lot of great material (Schneider TM, Notwist, DNTEL), although that Postal Service record is mostly dull.

― Scott Warner (thream), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:35 (twenty-three years ago)

is the excitement here a kind of trembling can't think of much else anticipation, or just a poor synonym for "quite interested in"?

can't think of any of the former yet. Luomo not til October :(

― gaz (gaz), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm excited by Dizzy Rascal's acting-rap, the logical extension of the countless samey garage MCs who announce their uniqueness in the same old same old patois - its the easy route to originality: inflection. I'm excited by the epiglottis flutter of the saxophone "Fortune's Theme" in MGS2. (I'm sorry I'm not good with trends, nabtesco, I think my strength is in psychologically engaging on a particular level with whomever I'm writing about; maybe to the expense of the Master Narrative). But I'm excited that I've realised that. I'm excited by my ignorance of Jazz allowing me extreme potential for manouvrabuiotnkdjbkeghk (this is meant to say manouverability but I CANNOT SPELL IT DRUNK.)

I'm excited by the dleone, Promqueen, and Hanle y tracks on the Ilx comp, to go all solipsis and wanky-in-meta for a minute, and to continue for a second further in an attempt to gain a friend, I'm excited, a bit, about Amateurist (there is too much of this on ilx, but its natural I think, stop it then David!!).

― Cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:43 (twenty-three years ago)

It can be either, I guess, Gaz: I said "excited" because for the past year I've been going through those Just Not All That Intereted In Anything phases, and while downloading some things at lunch today I realized -- Hey! I am excited about hearing more of these things, even in that way where you go straight home from the record store positively geeked to hear all of the potentially-great things you just picked up.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:44 (twenty-three years ago)

discovery of the year so far has been of giancito scelsi's music so I'm excited abt that.

I'm really enjoying eminem's 'sing for the moment' as well.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm excited to receive the King Tubby/Harry Mudie and Jackie Mittoo cd's I ordered.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:47 (twenty-three years ago)

i think i might be excited that i am learning to trust my ears again, and gaining great pleasure from it.

― gaz (gaz), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I am excited that I spent a few hours this week listening to the contemporary country music station and forced myself not to change the channel. Wouldn't you know it: I found something of interest in every song I heard.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 22:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm excited that we got a Party FM station right here in LA. Yesterday they played Cassius' "Sound of Violence", that "Shiny Disco Balls" song, and "Jellyhead" one after the other. Wish it came in better, though. I'm really excited by Ann Lee's "2 Times", it's so bossy and hypnotic, it reminds me of Sheena Easton and ONJ when they were good.

I'm excited by ballsy post-Jefferson Airplane chick-fronted psychedelic pop bands these days. Like Savage Rose and Shocking Blue. Can anyone suggest any others?

I'm excited about the Garage CDs Jess is sending me. I'm excited about Velvet Tinmine, which should get here sometime next week.

I'd be a lot more excited if I could get on Soulseek. But I'm still pretty excited.

― Arthur (Arthur), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 23:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh god!! I finally forgot about that awful "Shiny Disco Balls" song. Back to therapist, meguess.

(meguess is the intellectual property of oops)

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 23:13 (twenty-three years ago)

That my turntable is back from the shop, and I'm sure I'll never use "epiglottis," even on a dare.

― jillian (jillian), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 23:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Nothing is making me scream out happily at present, but that's because there's always so much to listen to. I swim about and find things, and that is always good. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 23:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Yanc3y, that Masha Qrella song is great! It's the one track on THE WIRE TAPPER 09 I keep coming back to. I'm excited by the Yabby You 2-disc set I picked up a couple weeks ago, THE WEST END STORY Vol. 3, Field Mob's "Sick of Being Lonely", and listening to Slowdive's SOUVLAKI again after reading the Slowdive piece in the lastest Sound Collector. And I don't think "excited" is exactly the right word, but right now I'm really rather enjoying Beck's mopey SEA CHANGE. Critical backlash be damned -- I think I'm going to have to check out that Wilco album, too!

― Jeff Sumner (Jeff Sumner), Thursday, 27 February 2003 00:16 (twenty-three years ago)

(Note, by the way, concerning that Postal Service record: is it just me or is Ben Gibbard starting to single like a male Suzanne Vega? PS this is a good thing.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 27 February 2003 00:19 (twenty-three years ago)

single = sing

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 27 February 2003 00:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm excited by loving every track on the Clipse record, because it makes me think the Neptunes have shot right on through the law of diminishing returns and have reached a point of potentially infinite reproduction without enjoyment drop-off (I wuv Pusha T & Malice too).

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 27 February 2003 00:37 (twenty-three years ago)

at the moment i seem to be very excited by Gemma Hayes. and not just cos she's purty

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 27 February 2003 00:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm currently in a state of nothing in the player but "Another Green World", Mouse on Mars, Eleventh Dream Day and Sun Ra.

― brg30 (brg30), Thursday, 27 February 2003 01:01 (twenty-three years ago)

see Ned, Nabisco's talking about Dntel's - Dream of Evan and Chan too! move it up on your to listen to list.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 February 2003 01:03 (twenty-three years ago)

i have a perverse and irrational belief that the next beastie boys album will be a) their last and b) their best

a friend of mine saw peaches in london last week and said it was perfect oblivians/gories stripped down punk blues.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 27 February 2003 01:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Liaisons Dangereuses - "Before & After Mars" !

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 27 February 2003 01:29 (twenty-three years ago)

though I don't care for either album, I like the battiness that right when the critics are all talking about Beck's country-boredom move, America suddenly reaches out to Kid Rock's similar jump, which had been all but forgotten for a year.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 27 February 2003 02:30 (twenty-three years ago)

oh, and finding out the Donnas are doing pretty good on MTV made me all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside. There needs to be more rowr in this world.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 27 February 2003 02:40 (twenty-three years ago)

(Is that whole Clipse album really good? I kept reading reviews that said Grindin' and When's the Last Time were the only good tracks on it so I figured I'd stick with the mp3s.) (I am excited about Acquisition because it works better then Limewire on my slow ass 56k.)

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 27 February 2003 04:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Lisa & I have been listening to the complete post-1958 recordings of John Coltrane in chronological order. This is UNBELIEVABLY exciting at this point--we had our metaphorical roof blown off by both versions of "Ascension" yesterday, and tonight it's the live version of "A Love Supreme" from July 1965 (the only time he played the whole thing live).

― Douglas (Douglas), Thursday, 27 February 2003 04:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Yesterday I rediscovered Daft Punk's "Discovery" and realized I love it more each time I listen to it (3 times straight yesterday, once today). The "This sucks 'cause it ain't Homework" wave got claimed me as a victim first time around, and all I cared about at the time was "Digital Love".

But it's tanfastic.

Listen on headphones if you don't believe me.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 27 February 2003 05:03 (twenty-three years ago)

see Ned, Nabisco's talking about Dntel's - Dream of Evan and Chan too! move it up on your to listen to list.

What? Where? I downloaded about fifty albums from the Secret Source over the last two days alone! ;-)

Also, beware, Tim. I felt the same way about the Flood/Alan Moulder production team once. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 February 2003 06:12 (twenty-three years ago)

did you read about Alan Moulder doing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album? yay!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 February 2003 06:29 (twenty-three years ago)

see as I got three CDs in the mail from Bulb a few days a go, it's kitchen sink art rock/punk/spluh for me.

― jack cole (jackcole), Thursday, 27 February 2003 07:44 (twenty-three years ago)

the things that are, at present, keeping you in love with music.

I'm listening to a lot right now, but having a hard time answering this question. What's keeping me in love with music? Answer: music. I just love it. I LOVE MUSIC! Is everyone else in constant danger of not loving music if they don't constantly feed themselves new and different stuff? Cause I feed myself, but some days and some weeks and some months I'm perfectly happy to live with the music I already have.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 27 February 2003 08:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I am so unexcited that I've chosen this month (up to my birthday) as a month when I don't buy any CDs. Of course I still love music but I want to consolidate.

Actually I'm excited (wheh wheh wheh) by the Rough Guide To Bellydance CD I got for Isabel's birthday.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 27 February 2003 08:54 (twenty-three years ago)

that all-girl summer fun band really makes me wanna kiss someone

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 27 February 2003 08:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I finally got into Billie Holiday, I'm pretty excited abt that.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Thursday, 27 February 2003 10:50 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm excited that there's a chunky new Broadcast EP coming out in May - it might not be the most obviously exciting music but i'm dying to hear it...

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 27 February 2003 11:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Currently excited by the new Adult and Moloko LPs and I've recently discovered the delights of Dressy Bessy

― j0e (j0e), Thursday, 27 February 2003 11:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I just got "Thriller" off my sister and it's GREAT! And exciting!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 27 February 2003 11:33 (twenty-three years ago)

The Clipse, In Da Club and God's Son mp3s have finally stuck in my head after months of thinking they were lacklustre. Particularly the segue of Young Boy - In Da Club - Made you look...

Also enjoying Berlin's "Sex" again. Surely there must be an electroclash cover of this soon?

― Jacob (Jacob), Thursday, 27 February 2003 12:23 (twenty-three years ago)

is 'guns 'n' roses' on lord willin?

― minna (minna), Thursday, 27 February 2003 13:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Broadcast Broadcast YES, i eagerly anticipate them being fractionally lighter on their feet this time round and world-beatingly feathery and wondrous. Or really punishing and grindy, either would be ace.

I'm excited that I've located The Go! Team again, and that SarahFromDubstar's trampled vowels (and possibly SarahFromDubstar herself, although they're being a bit elusive about this) have resurfaced in brilliant/duff?-could-go-either-way-really electrogrit-kids Client. And the unexpected levels of mad lurve i have for recent-purchase of Frequencies by LFO, and Something New By Mark Bell Maybe. And imminent new BBR. And the prospect of associating whole new raft of records with SPRING and SUMMER and subsequent AUTUMN/WINTER. Etc. It's a nice day today, you can maybe tell.

Punk Aid: Friday 11 - Sunday 13 April 2003, Pontins, Brixam, Devon.
The Damned, Dead Kennedys, John Otway, Penetration, Chelsea, Menace, Goldblade, TV Smith....

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 27 February 2003 14:32 (twenty-three years ago)

there are a few mp3s up on the client website which might be www.client-online.net. they're alright. which is a shame as I was hoping they'd be fantastic.

― j0e (j0e), Thursday, 27 February 2003 14:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Also enjoying Berlin's "Sex" again. Surely there must be an electroclash cover of this soon?

Soon = already: Peaches did it. It wasn't so amazing.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 27 February 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

did you read about Alan Moulder doing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album? yay!

Reminds me I actually need to hear the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at some point.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 February 2003 16:07 (twenty-three years ago)

bnw: the clipse are BEST experienced by listening to the album in its entirety. really, really great, and you've got to hear "virginia."

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 27 February 2003 16:10 (twenty-three years ago)

I’m excited as thanks to broadband, I can hear lots of great new music via BBC Radio 1 programmes on the internet. Britons don’t know how spoilt they are. Bobby Friction and Nihal’s Bhangra /Asian beats programme is a joy. Top Tune: Hush, 'Ghetto Mantra'. And thanks to John Peel I just discovered Canadian techno guru Mike Shannon.

― stevo (stevo), Thursday, 27 February 2003 16:14 (twenty-three years ago)

(NB: wonky grammar currently has me imagining Tom belly dancing for Isabel as birthday treat.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 27 February 2003 16:23 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm excited this moment about Deceptacon by Le Tigre which has just obliged me to do a lttle skippy dance along the top floor corridoor of the building I work in, much to the amusement of the cleaners.

Still playing!

― mei (mei), Thursday, 27 February 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

i'v been listening to a lot of Japan in their new-wave era lately but also The Minutemen,Melvins and MOTORHEAD.

― rex jr., Thursday, 27 February 2003 18:50 (twenty-three years ago)

the things that get me all worked up the most are most of the "street beat" style things out there, as cliche as it sounds. uk garage rap, ny hip hop, the neptunes, timberland, etc. the idea of mad popular support/"the new heat" meets pure artistic innovation is pretty damn exciting, methinks.

also, im looking foward to otto von schirach's new record

and doormouse's remix of warpigs jams my box everyday

and grand ulena will tech your fucking face off

and japanter live is the like a punk rock inspirational gospel

and blah blah blah

Technique split up? doh

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm excited by artists who still find room to innovate within the confines of techno, that the musical use and critical appreciation of field recordings (and associated splinters and microgenres) doesn't appear to be waning, the Soft Pink Truth releasing what is possibly the defining 'glitchy laptop' record and having it be one of the most enjoyable musical experiences in recent memory...Jan Jelinek releasing what is arguably his best (each improving on the last) - what a title, too...I'm excited by the idea of open source music, continued abuse of copyright (the spread of technology putting music creation/manipulation/dissemination tools in the hands of just about anyone and also what this means for the arbiters of taste and production - as if art could be controlled anyway)....The nihilist in me is excited that during such fractured geopolitical times, the good art quotient usually rises...

― disco stu (disco stu), Friday, 28 February 2003 02:07 (twenty-three years ago)

i like shows more than records, the following excites me:

m.ward tonight (in like 3 hours)
casiotone for the painfully alone house party in OAKLAND tomorrow
the locust/erase eratta/mile marker/blood brothers on saturday
wolf eyes/caroliner tour in march/april
gygax! japan tour in april/may
ATPLA 2.0 in june (boredoms/melt banana/ooioo/the fall/the magic band)
ATP malkmus in september

albumwise:

i get wet by awk is kicking my ass
xiu xiu's cover of "ceremony"
new lps by m.ward and casiotone for the painfully alone

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 28 February 2003 03:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Not pop, exactly, but I am excited by the new Supersilent, and how they seem to have found new sounds in a territory already worked over heavily by many other favorites.

Pop wise, Neptunes and (still) Tim. Appreciate the fact that we are living in a golden age.

I am also excited that my 15-month-old son seems to like music, and he appears to have the beginnings of taste. He stops whatever he's doing and stares whenever that Coke commercial with Mya and Common happens to come on the tube (yes, it's a commercial, but it's a pretty hep commercial). And anything with a good beat can get him dancing, especially Latin-tinged stuff.

**Punk Aid: Friday 11 - Sunday 13 April 2003, Pontins, Brixam, Devon.
The Damned, Dead Kennedys, John Otway, Penetration, Chelsea, Menace, Goldblade, TV Smith.... **

Oh no this is SHIT. Jeez, I've got no probs with a great band like Penetration reforming and doing stuff, even doing just their OLD stuff. But, these punkfests are totally shit. I really think the good bands do themselves a disservice by playing these affairs in front of 40-yr old Mr. and Mrs Mohican. I asked Pete Shelley why the Buzzcocks played these things when they came back - he said Steve Diggle liked them!

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Excited? Only one thing, this truly silly acoustic punk rock version of "Living by numbers" I recorded this week for the forthcoming Office For National Statistics cover versions CD (follow up to last year's "Life through a Len" double CD of ONS artistes). Only the more I play it, the less silly it sounds. I don't listen to new music at the mo, I listen to New Musik. Ho ho.

― Rob M (Rob M), Friday, 28 February 2003 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

"off the dome"

1. Michael Gira's continued relevance

2. Matt Sweeney

3. Nobody smart enough to steal from The Band yet

4. in a word, reissues!!

5. kevin drumm 'sheer hellish miasma"

6. daniel johnston / mark linkous upcoming collab

7. gert-jan prins

8. anticipating the fall of 'garage rock' - shouldn't jeff evans be on a West Village killing spree right about now?

9. Freeway - at least what I've heard so far

Just the thought of a new New Pornographers album

― Nathan Webb (Nathan Webb), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 09:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm very excited about the new Kelly Osbourne single, "Dig Me Out" (which has nothing to do with Sleater-Kinney). It might be my single of the year.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 09:13 (twenty-three years ago)

"Oh no this is SHIT. Jeez, I've got no probs with a great band like Penetration reforming and doing stuff, even doing just their OLD stuff. But, these punkfests are totally shit."

I know exactly what you mean Dr. C; unfortunately 'though if you live out in the sticks like I still do (it's a funny thing but Reading seems to be far more cut off these days than it did 20-25 years ago!) and you want to catch any of those bands, it seems the only alternative is to keep monitoring their websites waiting for the opportunity to travel halfway across the country hoping to see them playing in some toilet - so when you the opportunity comes along to see a whole bunch of them (Alternative TV, John Otway, Penetration, TV Smith and The Vibrators in this instance as far as I'm concerned - The Damned are a different proposition of course) playing in one place at one time, it seems worth going along and either ignoring or enduring all the rest of the dross.

112 ft Supafine - Na Na Na: ACE!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm excited about having heard the Beyoncé single for the five millionth time, second of the day, and still loving it. Ha! Blanket saturation of radio and the music channels isn't making me sick of it! Suck on that. MTV!

I'm also excited about receiving the Dizzee Rascal album and my first taste of Nina Nastasia any day now, though that's definitely tempered by a little where-the-fuck-are-they frustration. Fucking Splash DVD... cheap-ass, but slow.

I'm excited about the new Thea Gilmore album, too. I'm going to get to interview her!

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Finally received Boredoms' "Vision Creation Newsun" by mail... It's just so FAR OUT in other galaxy that you don't want to hear anything else...

Eleventh Dream Day's "El Moodio" and Scott 4's "Recorded in State LP" are good additions to my collection as well.

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 09:43 (twenty-two years ago)
