latest batch:

lcd soundsystem - us v them
haven't really heard the new album, but i came across this track on shuffle and i loved it. i dare you not to tap your feet to this one.

besnard lakes - on bedford and grand
haven't heard the whole album yet, but this track is quite awesome and shows promise for this band i hadn't listened to before.

Bro bro brah brah bro! I'm telling you now, that LCD Soundsystem album could be the best album of the year, I hope that track will inspire you to give the album a good listen. Before this album, I felt like LCD Soundsystem was all about one song, "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House." The rest of the first album sucked! This album destroys, at least 7 of the songs on this one are better than "Daft Punk"!!! North American Scum is a masterpiece of a song.

That Besnard Lakes album is the shit too, 2007 is something special.

I don't know if I want to recommend it or not, but I guess you've got to see it, even if it is only to say that you have.

Some songs lately:

Brown Eyed Girl - Sex Pistols (Van Morrison cover)
Decent cover, just sped up and more British on the shala la la bit

The Larger Bowl - Rush
Nice lyrics, a well contructed song that doesn't get boring

American Woman - Jimi Hendrix
Awesome, great riffs from Hendrix, catchy as hell song

[mixed]

Tool - Ticks and Leeches

Pink Floyd - Brain Damage

Black Sabbath - After Forever

After listening to all you lovely people around here have to say about music I am changing my ways I can't believe I've been so blindsighted and spent so long just listening to pop punk bands which are generally crappy. Save for a few you may not like but I do...

Anyway, from now on I am going to broaden my horizons, which excites me...and get into some better music.

Apologies for all the crap I've cited as good in the past. (except some it it that I still enjoy and you probably hate )

That is all.

[captainofbeef]

^Nice! I can't wait until you hear some of this stuff you have been missing out on. But if you still love pop punk, don't hide it. Your taste is your taste and I'm never gonna bash it.

[mixed]

Of course I'll never totally discard pop punk because I'm pretty much brought up on the stuff and am around it a lot. Yet expansion into older bands and bands I'd never heard of is my new order of the month/year ;D and I'm really excited about it!

[misterbalco]

A couple 10/10's

The Avett Brothers- Paranola in B Major
A banjo, a bass fiddle, and an acoustic guitar. Beautiful.

Cold War Kids- We Used To Vacation
I was just yesterday in the worst stress in my High School life, but this song puts things in deep perspective. "It will all blow over in time." Shit, this is like already the most personal song ive ever listened to.

[sacrilegend]

Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

7/10

[sacrilegend]

Tom Waits:
Chocolate Jesus
Black Market Baby
Cold Cold Ground
Hold On
Big in Japan

YAY 10/10

[sacrilegend]

Iggy Pop/Goran Bregovic - In The Death Car (from Arizona Dream)

10/10

[sacrilegend]

Mogwai - R U Still in 2 It (instrumental)

I haven't heard the with-words version, but I'm in love with this one. It's so beautiful, and I've listened to it fifty million gazillion times and I'm not bored (listening to it right now!). It almost makes me feel like crying, without words.

10/10 (yeah, I like a lot of songs that much)

Death Cab for Cutie - Lack of Colour

Yeah, usually I hate this band, but I camre across this song on its own,a nd it's really pretty.

And when I see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around, turns you around

If you feel discouraged
That there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seams
Absorbing everything
The spectrum's a to z

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
And all the girls in every girlie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone

To call at 7:03 and on your machine I slur a plea for you to come home
But i know it's too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years

9/10

The Books - Smells Like Content

Balance, Repition
Composition, Mirrors

most of all the world is a place
where parts of wholes are described
whithin an overarching paradigm of clarity
and accuracy
the context of which makes possible
an underlying sense of the way it all fits together
despite our collective tendancy not to concieve of it as such

but then again
the world without end
is a place where souls are combined
but with an overbearing feeling of disparity,
disorderliness
to ingnore is impossible
without getting oneslef
into all kinds of trouble
despite one’s best intentions
not to get entangled with it so much

and meanwhile the statues are bleeding green
and others are saying things
much better than we ever could
as the quiet becomes suddenly verbose

and the hail is heralding the size of nickles,
and the street corners are gnashing together
like gears inside the head
of some omnicient engineer
and downward flows the garnered wisdom
that has never died

when finally we opened the box
we couldn’t find any rules
our heads were reeling with a glut of possibilities,
contingencies
but with ever increasing faith
we decided to go ahead and just ingnore them
despite tremendous pressure to capitulate and fade

so instead we went ahead
to fabricate a catalog
of unstable elements
and modicums
and particles with non-zero total strangeness
for brief moments which amount
to nothing more than tiny fragments of a finger snap

and meanwhile we’re furiously sleeping green
and the map has started tearing along it’s creases
due to overuse
when in reality, it’s never needed folds

and the air’s witholding the sound
of its wellspring,
and our heads are approacing a density
reminiscient of the connectivity
of the center of the sun
and therein lies the garnered wisdom
that has never died

expectation leads to disappointment
if we don’t expect something big, huge, and exciting
usually, uh...
I don't know, it’s just not as, yeah...

10/10

The most beautiful piece of words since my favourite books

[sacrilegend]

Cocorosie - Good Friday

Yeah, one of the awesomest songs I've heard all year. Check it out! (Please, someone, just watch this, it's really beautiful)

I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky turned from gray
Into blue
It was a good friday
The streets were open and empty
No more passion play
On st. Nicholas avenue
I believe in st. Nicholas
He's a different type of santa clause

Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun

Violent Femmes - Fat

I'm really enjoying this band at the moment. All their songs are so catchy and I like the singers voice, especially on blister in the sun. Also the lyrical content is stuff you can relate to.

Awesome to have another Violent Femmes fan on the forum, if you like their songs check out their debut album, it is perfect. "Blister in the Sun" is probably their best song, but they have others that could be better. Here are some song recommendations by them, if you are interested: "Kiss Off" - it is such a perfect song, and the live version of it is even better (!), "36-24-36" - just an awesome song to sing to, and "American Music". They have a bunch of other songs, but those are other good starting points for them. Please tell me if you check them out, I would like to know what you think. Oh yeah, and “Gone, Daddy Gone” is really good.

Nico - My Funny Valentine 9/10

AWESOME! Nico is a goddess. What do you think of her voice? Personally, I think it is amazing. There is just something about it that makes it almost haunting. She is fantastic with Velvet Underground, but has some amazing solo stuff as well. Have you heard "The Fairest of the Seasons," "These Days," or "Chelsea Girls"? They are all of her album, “Chelsea Girl”. You should definitely check them out if you haven't. I have only heard one of her albums, and would like to check out her two follow-ups to “Chelsea Girl.”

[sacrilegend]

Her voice sure is a novelty, I'm not sure if I like it yet, though.

Bright Eyes - "Four Winds" 9.9/10 (next time I listen to the song it will be a 10. )

Any fans out there? This song is so great; I can't stop listening to it. The first time I saw the video it caught my attention and I was stuck. I think you might dig this song, Kayla. Everyone should definitely check it out if you haven't. Video, watch this! Tell me what you think!

Good Charlotte "The River" can't actually grade/10, but if I could, it would be quite high

Holy hell, *guilty pleasure alert*. The only part about this song I don't like is the Avenged Sevenfold dude's part, other than that, it is pure gold. The chorus is just too catchy for me not to dig. I hate this band, too. Everyone should probably just listen to this song and tell me what you think, yeah. [/url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=IBqxVEFtCX0]Video, watch this![/url]

The Flaming Lips - "Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" 9.5/10

Holy hell, this is amazing. Anyone heard this? Video. Flaming Lips are awesome.

I like that song a lot too. Definately a guilty pleasure of mine.

This Little Light of Mine- Springsteen and Seeger Sessions Band
Live in Dublin
10/10
Amazing song to hear live, so much energy and the band tears it up. Forget that solemn version you hear in church, this song is pure adrenaline.
