I cant find the video now :sad: but it has Mikael doing some music quiz where he plays the beginning of a song and the crowd guesses the song name. so then he starts paying Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n' Roses. The crowd says Guns n' Roses. Mikael says, "I know what your thinking.. and your wrong. That is not Guns n' Roses, i wrote that f**king song back in 1991."

might not seem funny.. its like one of those 'you had to be there' jokes.

Actually, he did that at the show I was at. A good friend of mine was answering all of them since we were in the second or third row.

Reel Big Fish is cool, and so is Sublime.

heh, i like his lesson on basic death metal vocals. harder than some might think..

Would you like to share the name of that app please? :smile:

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

It's called music alarm clock, but it ain't freeware.

Mkay, thanks.

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

Well, the version I have isn't freeware. Google is your friend, you're bound to find a free app that does the same thing somewhere.

I tried a winamp plugin once that was supposed to do that, but I never got it to work properly.

With CLEveR, I made an alarm clock using a Windows scheduled task to run a batch file that makes winamp play a song or playlist. I don't have any of the files anymore, and it was quite a while ago so I won't be of much help beyond that, but I can tell you it does work if you do it right.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

well, lets see.....been awhile since i made a completely sincere post, (with good reason) and i wanted to tip you guys, and get some feedback....i am a part time musician, and have helped complete a demo for some damn good friends of mine....located at this site for the moment. please pardon some of the content, and bear in mind i have no control over the site at this point....

its a rough, unmastered set of samples at this point of the band, so tell me what you truly think....if you like the old farts like ac/dc, you might just enjoy it.... :heee:

im an old fart dabbling in a young mans game... :wink:

Doc B... :dodgy:

When I get time I will look at it harder but I liked what I saw Al. BTW, old fart begins at 60. I think you and I have a month or two yet.

---

The best things in life, aren't things.

Not from my vantage point. :wink:

***reaching for toasty's throat....arrgh!!!

Doc B... :dodgy:

it's funny Dr. B, i think of ac/dc as a younger band, and i'm only 18, it's probably because i grew up on 60's rock and reggae

Ah, the best stuff.

If you're a reggae fan you'll love Xavier Rudd and The Black Seeds.

as long as it's not that new reggae rap s**t

got a jimmi cliff album for christmas = good stuff

No trust me, it's definitely not rap.

Go to http://www.theblackseeds.com and bring down the little player at the top right. Listen to 'Sometimes Enough'.

good to hear it, reggae rap is the worst kind of rap if you ask me, mainly because the categorized it as "reggae"

will check it out

The Black Seeds are great, been a fan for a couple of years now.

Going to see Tool tommorow night in Sydney, and again the next day as part of the Big Day Out. Should be awesome, they've been playing some awesome sets at the BDO, so they're dedicated show should be incredible.

Also looking forward to seeing Muse, Jet, Lily Allen, The Butterfly Effect, Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males, Something for Kate and a whole bunch more.

Follow all that with a 3 day long weekend. Pure goodness :smile: .

/me is jealous

lets see:
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah- they've got good music, their vocalist isn't so great but i can accept him for the music's sake
TV on the Radio- all over good stuff

I can't get ahold of any Black Seeds music over here, it's a real bitch. I've been trying to get Into the Dojo without buying it online, 'cause it's 30 bucks, which seems ridiculous.

My brother has a friend in New Zealand right now, I'm hoping he can pull through for me.

/crosses fingers

I had hip-hop group Ugly Duckling suggested to me the other day, and listened to their album "Taste the Secret". It's a rather wierd album, with most of the tracks based around a made-up fast food restaraunt called Meatshake (which serves exactly what the name suggests). Their lyrics are all light-hearted and humourous, thrown against fun, upbeat, funky tunes. I'm not a huge hip-hop fan, though am trying to look for more along this style. I think this video kinda sums them up really :smile:

Also, as a new Rip Slyme obsessive, I checked out the side project a couple of them have going - Teriyaki Boyz. They seem to be fairly "big news", as they have collaborated with the Beastie Boys, Pharrell, Kanye West, and other well known Western hip-hop names. Personally I don't think they are a patch on Rip Slyme, who are just so damn funky and fun its near impossible to dislike them, but they do have a song called Kamikaze 108 that I really enjoyed and a couple of others were pretty good.

Actually bought quite a few CDs recently, now I think about it. I finally found a copy of the Jack's Mannequin album "Everything In Transit" to buy, which I still really enjoy. It's soppy, pop-emo music, but hey, we all have our weaknesses right! I loved walking to catch the bus home to it, especially in s**tty weather. It just felt right :smile:

Along the same veins, though more punk and less emo, were a couple of Punchline albums. I don't rate either album all that highly, to be honest, but there are some decent tunes on both of them. The intro and ending songs on the new album 37 Everywhere - "Flashlight" and "Exactly" respectively - are probably my favourites. If you like throwaway pop-punk like I do, they are probably worth checking out.

Finally, I also got the album "While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets" by Cobra Starship. I'm a big fan of Gabe Saporta's previous band Midtown, so I picked this up hoping for something not too distant from them. Well, it isn't exactly Midtown-esque, but I've still enjoyed the album quite a lot. Its not particularly deep or challenging music - what did you expect from the band who did the Snakes on a Plane theme tune - but its got a fair bit of variety and nods to genres outside his usual style. No, the rest of the album isn't much like the Snakes on the Plane tune, before you ask. Basically its dance-rock. A lot lighter than his rather dark last Midtown album.

Hmmm, The Mars Volta are ace.

Tool was incredible, both at the 10,000 Days tour concert and the Big Day Out. The great thing was between the two concerts they did most of their best new and old stuff. Vicarious live was awesome, the crowd went absolutely nuts, and they finished both concerts with Aenema.

Also saw Muse, the Killers, Lily Allen, Kasabian, Butterfly Effect and Jet at the BDO.

I've always liked Muse, but found their last album too produced, the sound wasn't as good as their previous albums. After seeing them live I've went from liking to loving them. Muse are incredible live, and I have to say they were as good, if not better, than Tool at the BDO. When they come back out to Australia I'm definately getting tickets. They even made Starlight, a song that makes me want die everytime I hear it, sound awesome, I couldn't believe it.

The Killers were pretty good, not really my scene, but I enjoyed it.

Lily Allen was fantastic, a great live show with a real band which was pretty cool. The only complaint wasn't with her performance but with whoever was at the sound board. Everytime a song went into a loud bit, and for most of Lily's vocals, there was a bunch of distortion. Besides that it was great.

Kasabian I kinda stumbled across while trying to put as much distance between me and the John Butler Trio as possible. Nothing incredible, but a good sound and performance made them definately worth while.

Butterfly Effect were okay, but their live performance and sound wasn't as good as the CD, which was a bit of a disappointment. Solid but not awesome.

Jet were great, they always put on a great live show and they manage to achieve the same quality live as they have on their albums. Just some good rocking out.

Aww, I love Jet. Do they have any other stuff apart from Get Born?

Their new album Shine On has been out for a few months now at least. It's about as good as the last one, so no disappointments.

Why snark works.

Got the new Fall Out Boy album, "Infinity On High", yesterday. I'm a fan of their previous work and that doesn't change with this release - this is ultra-polished pop-punk, so if you're into that kinda stuff, you can't really go wrong in buying this album. It does have a few let downs on it; "Golden" is a boring ballad that doesn't suit the band, and "The (After) Life of the Party", while not all that bad, again sounds like them trying unsuccessfully for a new sound. On the other hand, tracks like "You're Crashing, But You're No Wave" and "Hum Hallelujah" are as hopelessly catchy and fun as any else they've come up with over the years, which is a trait shared by the majority of songs on the album. So yeah, if you like pop-punk go buy it, and if not, there's nothing new to see here.

Kataklysm - In the Arms of Devastation
I discovered Kataklysm a couple months ago through pandora.com. While they're a little dark for my usual taste, these guys are a really talented metal band. Some really awesome riffs on this album, the drummer is awesome, and the tracks are composed well; all the instruments compliment each other well.

Megadeth - Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good; Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?;
Oldschool awesome.

Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction
Every track on this album is a prime example of how to rock.

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Is it possible the members of Pantera were born to do anything but rock?
No.

Growing addicted to this great Australian band called 'Cat Empire'. Kind of a jazzy/funk sound. Really catchy.

Hell, is an half-filled auditorium

Shadows Fall - The Art Of Balance
'Stepping Outside the Circle' is one of my favorite tracks of all time. The only bad part about this CD IMO is the butchering of Pink Floyd's 'Welcome To The Machine' as the final track. The rest of it rocks so I'm willing to let it slide.

Machine Head - The Blackening
A so-so album, which is quite a feat for a nu metal band. There were a couple good tracks, but a lot of them still tasted like nu metal.

Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power

Capdown - Wind up Toys
Awesome new album. Seems to have my friends divided due to being quite different to their previous albums, but I love it. A lot less ska/punk, more rocky along the lines of Lost Prophets or something, but still a lot of little Capdown touches that make it very distinctively them. Check out their myspace page and have a listen - "Keeping up Appearances" is my favourite track on the album but the others on there are good too.

The Terrible Twos - If You Ever See and Owl...
The lead singer of The Get Up Kids and The New Amsterdams new band...for kids. Its really charming and fun and a few tracks are just all around excellent. Topics covered include what tools are good for what jobs ("The task at hand may take a while, I put leaves in a pile. I am a rake."), that having your Birthday near Christmas isn't such a terrible thing, and that as much as 11 may seem like the best age, growing up past it ain't really so bad. Don't expect hugely complex music and listen to it with no reservations, and you'll probably have a big smile on your face :smile: Sadly their best tracks aren't on their myspace page, but you can listen to samples of the whole album if you go through their website.
