new discoveries

the cat empire has been running in my ipod like crazy

 

Thats way bad ass.

Ive been listening to a lot of Isley Bros as of late. Not underground or new, but thats my shit right now. As for newer shit, I like Soulive pretty good right now.

 

didnt they recently downsize to a trio?

 

who? soulive? I thought they always were a trio...never known them to have a bass player. They do team up with horn players and vocalists/MCs quite a bit though.

 

they had rashawn ross for a while didnt they? or am i getting them confused with someone else...

 

I used to really dig metal and still do, just not as exited anymore
Then I realized my favorite metal songs weren't even fully metal, many were slower songs
Anyways, songs and bands I love (melodic)

-Metallica
Fade to Black
The Unforgiven
Nothing Else Matters
Master of puppets
One
Sanitarium
Enter Sandman

Children of Bodom (melodic metal)
-everytime I die
-downfall
-are you dead yet
-kissing the shadows

I recommend everyone add those songs o your play lists

 

That's funny. A friend of mine's band just did a split with one of the bands one of the guys who were in Burning Witch (Stephen)... and we smoked with him like no more than two weeks ago.

 

hmm lets see

the flaming lips
marty robbins
13th floor elevators
warren zevon
yael naim
sage francis
explosions in the sky
mogwai

ive known about some of them for a bit but just never got around to listening them

 

it's rappers for me but: Lil Boosie, Lil Wyno, DJ Felli Fel, DJ Khaled, Juicy J, Do or Die

 

ugly casanova, the sound of animals fighting, white flight, aesop rock

 

I just recently got into the wood brothers. Its Chris Wood (Bassist from MMW) and his brother Oliver on guitar. Mad good stuff. Its pretty chill fun to listen to stuff.

Theres a couple videos if you care to watch them.

 

oh, wonka, it's good to hear someone else has heard of that 1 guy. i saw him live opening for ani difranco in seattle several years ago and got his cd they were selling. its pretty crazy. i like it, but REALLY have to be in the mood. still, i thought his opening act was better than ani's main act...i liked her at the time (not as much now) and was a bit disappointed by her concert

and mrgreen, its good to see someone admitting to liking the cardigans. i love them, but its a bit of a guilty pleasure. i dont like much of that type of music, but really enjoy listening to them. i only do so when alone usually, though, as most of my friends...well...probably would NOT enjoy it as much as me

recently i've learned to really appreciate al green as well as looked further into some older country like hank williams and stompin tom connors and more johnny cash and some other artists.....

still, i have been listening to a decent amount of hiphop and rock, though.

 

explosions in the sky

 

Whoa that is crazy, That guy stephen went on to form Sunn O)))
I was wanting to buy one of their records but cant find them anywhere.

 

Yeah, it's hard to find the records. You could probably get 'em on e-bay or something.

Sunn O))) is pretty cool. Drone is by far not my favourite genre of music, but I do have a place in my heart for it.

 

I recently heard about the Animal Liberation Orchestra and really like them. Check them out on archive.org.

 

Just got a bunch of more post-rock as well as some metal
-Baroness
-Ahab
-Unpersons
-Cult of Luna
-Esoteric
-Between the Buried and Me
-Kyuss

I mainly listen to post-rock which is the best genre of music to date.

 

got into Boards of Canada recently- that's about it. And Murcof as well, actually.


Has anyone heard of Bob Brozman? I saw him live a couple of years ago and he was absolutely unbelievable.
