I'm obsessed with the song "Evil" by Interpol. I just got ahold of the album, so that's replaced "Transatlanticism" as my go to CD for the moment.

Interpol is always good- Been a big fan of theirs for a few years now. Antics is an OK CD, but the track Evil is just truly amazing. I could listen to that for hours. Slow Hands isn't too bad either. Great follow-up to Obstacle 1 ("Put the weights all around yourself" as opposed to "She puts the weights into my little heart").

Recently gotten into a few new bands-

Black Rebel Motorcylcle Club - B.R.M.C and Howl. Kinda folkey almost gospelly music (at least the CD Howl is (And please don't judge it based on the gospelly-ness of it... They really do have quality tunes)) If you're looking for an awesome track, check out "As Sure as the Sun" from B.R.M.C. Great song.

New Model Army - Circus. Pretty good, from my first impressions. Nice voical styles and kinda laid back yet soehow heavy rock feel to it. Good tracks from that include "Another Imperial Day," "Bluebeat," and "Prayer Flags." Again, these guys aren't religious, so don't freak out. Kthx.

Rogue Wave - Descended Like Vultures. Great little CD overall. Sounds a little bit more "indie" that I prefer, but still, some great songs on it. Highlights include "Bird on a Wire," "Are you on my Side?", "Salesman at the Day of the Parade." Great accoustic work mixed in with some off-hand vocal styles. Great harmonies in the first two of those songs, and the third one is mostly just an awesome accoustic-feeling song (not technically all accoustic- there are a few little effects strewn about it).

And finally, just because I'm a HUGE fan of the genre, this great all-instrumental band:

Red Sparowes - At The Soundless Dawn. Great little CD overall, especially if you're a fan of bands that mainly produce only music- no vocals or anything to muck it up. Great laid back feel to it, pretty well developed, and overall just a good background-music CD.

That's all then.

Shameless plug.

Apparently I didn't include Rogue Wave in my list little list-a-thon. I got Bird On A Wire, thought it was great, got the rest of the CD, didn't like it so much. I need to stop raising my expectations so much after I listen to one song, I guess.

Oh man. I've been listening to a lot of their stuff too after getting into Bleach. "Asterisk" and "Locolotion" are my favorites. I have no idea what they're saying, but man, I think it sounds better that way! <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Personally I don't like Asian Kung-Fu Generation though. Too up-beat, not enough rock.

Monqui, you turned me on to GSY!BE, and I'd love to check out that Red Sparowes CD. Too bad I can't get on IRC.

if you want a crazy little Japanese band, I bring you: Sex Machineguns!. Yeah. It's like the Sex Pistols, only MORE HARCORE. Or something. Neat little drum battle though.

If you want a couple'a RS tracks, hit their site up with this magical, clickable text.

Click the main image, then click "Music" at the bottom once the flash loads. Then, click the little arrow towards the bottom next to "More Releases." Anything in yellow is up for grabs.

And Hughbert- "Publish My Love" is absolute crap. I hate that song. Everything else from the CD though is listen-able to me. Therefore, I submit that you hate music and should just go shack up with that cat of yours somewhere.


Shameless plug.

Nine Inch Nails. I actually heard a song of theirs other than Closer for the first time a couple weeks ago, now I can't get enough of this music. I've probably listened to "The Downward Spiral" and "The Fragile" 30 times or more (gotta love repeat all). I'm actually going to BUY A FEW ALBUMS! (*gasp*) just so I can encode better quality files (160kbps ogg) because I seriously hate 128kbps MP3... so lossy.

Maybe I look for more in music than "listen-able" Nah, you're right, I probably just hate music and I'm certainly bestial.

I'm not 100% sure this would be the right place to post this, but does anyone have any techno/trance recommendations? I'm looking to broaden my musical horizons and listen to something fresh (to me at least).

Loosely within the genre I like Rammstein (I said loosely), Juno Reactor, most Oakenfold I've heard (Dread Rock, Delerium - The Silence 2000, Ready Steady Go), some of the more techno-ish Marylin Manson, Final Fantasy - Set Me Free Trance Mix, NIN (again, loosely). Outside the genre I like Del tha Funkee Homosapien/Deltron 3030, Rage Against the Machine, Pantera, Sublime, Shadows Fall... basically good, real rock, not the mainstream crap taking over the world (or at least the States)

Just finished listening to the Quest for Glory IV soundtrack. What can I say? Excellent game, excellent music.

Ok- first- get Boards of Canada. They're fairly full of awesome. If you're looking for some darker stuff, check out the Silent Hill 3 and 4 soundtracks- there are some AWESOME songs on there (Sickness unto Foolish Death is phenomenal). They're mostly very dark, techno-industrial songs (plus the singers on a few of them are just amazing- they may not be the best singers ever, but they fit the theme so well). If it helps, the soundtracks were directed and made my Akira Yamaoka, so you may be able to find them listed under that name.

Apoptygma Berzerk has some awesome songs too- "Until the End of the World" is great. They're more gothy than I care for in general, but they're still not bad.

Same topic, different direction.

How many here have the Dish Network? Of those, how many listen to the Sirius Channels?

My reason is, which channels do you frequent so I can hear what you guys like to see how it sounds.

Obviously, I listen to channel's 6007 and 6008, which are 70's and 80's rock respectively.





The best things in life, aren't things.

Thanks Monqui, I'm really diggin Boards of Canada. Fairly full of awesome is right, this is one of the kinds of music that I've been looking for for so long! Groovalicious, slick beats, very nice to chill out to. "Stereolab" and "Julie and Candy" are great. It's definitely a break from all the industrial Rammstein and NIN I've been listening to lately. Apoptygma Berzerk I'm not liking so much, though I've only heard two songs so far...

I'm going to an upcoming NIN concert <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> March 24th! Whee! Got tickets the other night!
