DUDE!!! I got this for Christmas from my in-laws. I freeking love this service. My job has me driving for a good 3-4 hours per day. Now that I have it I can't believe I got along without it over the last year. Howard Stern aside (whom I have ZERO use for) I stick with the 4 or 5 rock/metal/alternative stations in the low 20'2 (here on the East Coast that is) I go up the dial to catch a little Bloomberg/CNN/Sirius Left/Sirius Right and occasionally I will just scan channel by channel.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!:jumpie2:

[sickness]

Sirius FREAKING RULES!!! I listen to Octane (20), Alt Nation (21), 1st Wave(22), Hair Nation(24), Faction(27), a little bit of Hard Attack (26) and a fair amount of Buzzsaw (19) as well as The Rolling Stones station (98) (and, yes, I do believe the channels are the same everywhere. I think it would be too difficult to have DJ's recording different promo spots for the station (which they really don't spit out that often but often enough that you have a connection to the DJ, song, etc., that you're listening to)). Stern certainly is not for everybody and I can only take him in 15-20 minute doses (which is fine because I live 10-15 minutes from work) but I do find myself listening to the live feed before I hit the gym in the morning and the replay afterward.

At any rate, Stern does not define the service. What does is that I can always find something to listen to and I never have to put up with all stations going to commercial at the same time (which always seemed to be the case on terrestrial radio) and the music stations never do. Let me say that again for the people who weren't listening. THE MUSIC STATIONS NEVER GO TO COMMERCIAL. EVER. PERIOD. And they frequently have 30 minute in-studio interviews with top musical acts during which they'll play a block of songs by said artist.

So that's why I'm listening to Sirius right now (and will be for the foreseeable future.

The "Live In Cuba" DVD by Audioslave while I clean up around my apartment and surf some sites. Good performance but not as good as actually seeing them live. Maybe it's blasted so loud that you can't really pick up on the fact that Chris isn't hitting some of the vocals quite right.

[kah]

System of a Down, Toxicity. I bought the new album, Mesmerize, when it came out, but I don't really care for it. I like to listen to a cd straight through, MAYBE skipping 1-2 songs. cds with 1 or 2 songs I like have no purpose for me.

Dude, I'm a raging huge Soul Coughing fan, too. El Oso is a MASTERPIECE. I still listen to it 20-30 times a year because it's so damn good. And if you think you know it inside and out and can hear every little electronic loop, find someone with a high end stereo system (I'm talking $50,000+ in speakers not to mention a digital amplifier and sequencer) and listen to it on there. I guarantee you will hear at least 3 different things per track you've never heard while listening to that album.

As for Mike Doughty's solo record, I bought it recently and actually really enjoy it. I thought it would just be a rehash of Soul Coughing in style but it's not. He obviously had tremendous influence on the Soul Coughing product but Haughty Melodic is much more organic in tone with acoustic guitars being played against each other the way samples and loops were on Soul Coughing discs. Additionally, Dave Matthews makes a cameo which takes an already great song in "Tremendous Brunettes" and pushes it over the top. I can't get enough of this disc.

[Minion]

Oh yes, Haughty Melodic is an amazing album but I thing I might have overplayed a bit for myself. At least a few of the songs on it anyway. I'm trying to limit my consumption of the song "Busting Up A Starbucks"...even though it's a god damned anthem.

I love that bastard Doughty. He better keep up with the solo stuff because it's entirely not Soul Coughing but still brilliant as its own standalone brilliance.

Minion: Roller boogie, motherf*cker.

Collective Soul - Home

It's a great double live album that showcases what makes them such a great band to see live. It also has one of the lost tracks from the album they wrote and recorded before Youth and then promptly buried. They claimed it was because it was too dark and brooding a disc. The song that made it onto Home (Burn) is my favorite of the songs I heard bootlegged and is a great example of how kickass their new guitarist is. Anyone who says he isn't up to replacing Ross needs to listen to that song.

I'm also listening to Buckcherry's new single, Crazy Bitch, whenever I can. I want to see more old-fashioned rock bands like that.

Dude, I will never forgive that movie for making poor ol' St. Kurt spin so fast in his grave that they hooked him up to a generator and powered the entire Northwest. That was absolutely the worst use of pop music in a movie ever.

[Bill_the_Pony]

No worse than a bunch of other renditions and spoofs of it or any other Norvana song. In fact, better.

Ever heard Smells Like Queer Spirit by The Pansy Division?

Weird Al's one trick pony spoof?

How about Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine's cover of Rape Me?

Worst case of pop music in a movie ever?

Did you ever see a remarkable little travesty titled Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, starring Peter Frampton?

[sickness]

No. I'm only vaguely aware that PD even exists.

Yes. In fact, I like it. I have his box set as well as several albums. Plus, it got Kurt's seal of approval and Al was actually commenting on the song itself in his parody. It's one of the few that he hasn't co-opted for a completely unrelated meaning.

Probably at least once but I think spoofing pop songs solely by changing them into lounge tunes is lacking in creativity and really boring rather than upsetting.

Peter Frampton in a Sgt. Pepper movie? No. I was born in 1976. Frampton was long forgotten for anything other than "Baby I Love Your Way" by the time I had any idea who he was.

Yes, I stand by my statement of worst use of a pop song in a movie ever. SLTS was punk nihilism at its finest railing on a bloated "me first, me now" culture. In Moulin Rouge it was turned into a showtune because it contained the line "here we are now / entertain us."

Thank you for your statement. I do not claim to have any love for the "me first me now" culture myself, but I have been through the anger curve. It's done nothing in my life but made me angry. I've been through enough to have earned where I am and be what I am to not live in bitterness and anger, though I have as many reasons as anyone else here.

And I will also continue to post about things I like on these boards about what I enjoy. Not what I hate that others enjoy. Or waste my time defending myself.

Thank you

[sickness]

Please keep right on posting. My intent wasn't to discourage posting in anyway just to express myself. I will comment on very few things that I don't like but that movie (and the use of SLTS in particular) is something that gets my goat every time.

But I will now go back and listen to Ewan McGregor doing "Your Song" as I'm a big fan of the original and, if I remember the movie correctly, it's simply him and a sparse collection of instruments (or him and an orchestra at most) which is a good way to go with it. Plus, he has a decent voice.

To be perfectly honest, I really don't remember much about the movie except a pervasive sense of "when is this going to end?" and the fact that I fumed the whole time about SLTS. I do recall an enjoyable, if over the top, performance by John Leguizamo, though.

EDIT: Could only get a 30-second clip from Rhapsody but McGregor doing "Your Song" is even more impressive than I remembered.

[Bill_the_Pony]

I apologise for getting so defensive. :o

"Come Out" by Steve Reich. Absolutely hypnotizing...you'd have to hear it to understand. Basically, what the guy did was take a short snippet of an audio recording and put it on a loop, layering it with itself. So, for about thirteen minutes, all you get is this guy saying the same thing over and over, and the result is absolutely incredible. I'm consistently amazed at minimalist music, and how melodic certain things can be made to sound when just performed over and over.

[Asonokirk V 2.0]

I've been revisiting some older stuff lately. In particular Soundgarden. They really did write some incredibly good songs, just not enough of them. I think my next CD is going to be something from Stone Temple Pilots. I've always liked them without ever getting any of their CD's.

I've been playing the heck out of Purple lately. It's a really great album. I've been nostalgic for the music of my teenage years lately - I blame my Audioslave cd. And to stay on-topic, I am, in fact, listening to Audioslave's Out of Exile.

[sickness]

I've made various portions of Out of Exile part of my workout playlist on my MP3 player. There's a lot of piss and vinegar in that disc. I love it.

At this very moment, I'm listening to "Pearl Jam" (the album... by the group of the same name) for the second time today and about the umpteenth time in 2 weeks. I cannot get enough of this thing! Lately, RHCP's "Stadium Arcadium" has seen a lot of play time as well. Drawing elements from pratically every album they've done in the last 20+ years, including "One Hot Minute," as well as influences from people like Prince, this album is huge in scope and breadth without feeling bloated. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

And of the two STP albums I mentioned earlier, I consider Purple the better of the two. It really is a great album like Queenie said. Army Ants, Kitchenware & Candy Bars, Interstate Love Song, Silvergun Superman, Lounge Fly, Big Empty and Vasoline are all on the same CD. That alone makes it worthy of the "great album" label. So many other bands would have shied away from such great variety on a single album but every song on this album is truly unique.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Ditto on Purple! I played the heck out of it back then. I need to go find it.....:jump2:

Animals - House of the Rising Sun

[sickness]

Several songs off Live by Our Lady Peace. The current tune is "Is Anybody Home?" The crowd is on fire throughout the entire disc. The music is great, of course, and the band knows how to play it live. If you're not familiar with OLP, this is a good place to start and also experience how awe-inspiring they are live.

The disc (which I own though I'm currently listening through Rhapsody) is essentially a Canadian greatest hits collection with songs well known even in America such as "Starseed," "Superman's Dead," "Clumsy" and "One Man Army" as well as tunes like "Is Anybody Home?", "Naveed," "Innocent," "Are You Sad?", and "Somewhere Out There," not to mention the why-the-hell-didn't-more-people-pick-up-on-this-song song in "Whatever." Probably my favorite OLP song and definitely underrated.

Zero 7's "The Garden", released in the US today (in the UK for a few weeks already).....

I have died and gone to musical heaven! :eek: :o

[colmatrix]

Third Eye Blinds latest (came out in '03)--combines the raw sound that the youth of America was fealing in the late 90's with their 1st album and the fresh electricity of their 2nd album. I particularly like this cd.

[sickness]

What am I listening to? The ringing in my ears from the Panic Channel show I was at last night. The record doesn't even come out for another 2 months or so (August 15th) and I can already tell you it's going to explode. Of course, it helps when 3/4 of the band was previously Jane's Addiction minus Perry Farrell. They definitely have a distinct sound, though. Dave's solos are probably the only thing that could be tied to Jane's but, hey, Dave is Dave. RHCP took on a little bit of Jane's guitar sound when they hired him, too, so you're going to hear a little bit of Jane's in anything he does. And the new vocalist is nothing like Perry. He's got a very 70's rock voice like Robert Plant, Ozzy and Steven Tyler.

[Trazalca]

I've been grooving to Gnarls Barkley new CD for the last few weeks.
The day I bought it, I popped it into the CD player at home, and all
my kids started bopping their heads and twirling around when the
song CRAZY started.

Yeah buddy. You better believe my kids are gonna be raised up
listening to only COOL music. :D

I've already started them off right with a foundation on the Beatles
Abby Road and the White Album. :smirk:

[Cncrman]

Gnarls Barkley lead me to follow DJ Danger Mouse to another collaboration called Danger Doom. Good stuff.

[Cncrman]

Replying to my own post...how sad...

Anyway, listening to The Fray's new album "How to Save a Life"

[sickness]

Johnny Cash's "Personal File" as well as The White Stripes' "Get Behind Me Satan" and the "Walking With A Ghost" EP. You know, Tegan and Sara were probably the most annoying one-hit wonder with the most annoying song ever but Jack & Meg make it impossible to dislike that song.

Bill gave me the heads up on a downloadble track from the next album from Hybrid, unquestionably my favorite group in existence. It's called Just For Today and it's brilliant! Not sure if the track is still there, but it is (was) available at http://www.hybridsoundsystem.com/

Wolfmother. "Joker and the Thief" just started. N
Tell Wolfmother that Led Zeppelin just called and asked for their sound back. :lol:

As much of a rip as they are, I gotta admit, they're too catchy to ignore. "Woman" is a kickass song.

[Trazalca]

Johnny Cash: American V - A Hundred Highways

On the first listen, to not cry at some points would have been criminal.
But the one message that cried louder than a train whistle as I did listen
while driving home last night was the heroic and herculean drive
to do what you loved doing up till the very end.
Whenever Cash had the energy, he'd be in the studio recording.
It's what he loved doing. And he kept doing it till the last.
The album is priceless and immeasurable in my humble opinion.
I love introspective musicians, and he was the king of them all.
How I wish I could have heard him live in concert in my lifetime.
Tis a sad regret to carry me to my grave. But thank God for
Rick Rubin's magical talents in producing Cash's work to such
an impeccable quality.

God bless the Man in Black.

[sickness]

Dude, I heard "God's Gonna Cut You Down" on Alt Nation on Sirius today.

Let that sink in...






You heard me right. I heard it on an Alt Rock station. Johnny is so damn powerful with his music as art that Alt Rock stops to give him a platform even from the grave. And I gotta say I was absolutely floored by the song. If this record has hit the shelves (which it sounds like it has by Traz's statement that he listened to it all), I'm going to grab it tonight and listen to it about 100 times.

All hail the Man in Black!

You said it. Page riffs and Plantesque vocals dot the entire project but it sounds good.
Just put Captain Beyond on the turn-table ... these guys are big time underrated. If you're not familiar with the band, it was founded in the early 70's by Lee Dorman ex-Iron Butterfly and former Deep Purple singer Rod Evans. They only put out a few albums but it was / is, great stuff.

What struck me as so funny, after reading this, was that when I was at
Best Buy to get this album, the first instinct was to go to the Rock section.
I couldn't understand why Cash's album wasn't listed with all the other
rock albums starting with 'C' till I stood in the aisle feeling incredibly dumb
for not thinking to search for the country section instead. Sure enough,
they had CD's aplenty. :o

Cash's cover of the song "Hurt" gets quite a fair amount of play
on Alt rock station 99X, which is a song he transcended
into the hemisphere like an angel taking flight. I understand his deep
association with country music, but doggonit, his canon of work belongs
deep in the roots of rock. :romy: At least IMHO. :cool:

[sickness]

Frankly, Cash was a blues man who grew up in the South, an area dominated by country, folk & gospel, all of which have cropped up in his music repeatedly. Since rock has its original roots in country, though, that makes him, in my estimation, the first metal act since metal came about by incorporating the sludginess, minor keys & down tempo of blues into rock & roll.

[JackCross]

Dirt by Alice in Chains

[sickness]

Portions of Our Lady Peace's "Live" (known to Canadians as "Live From Edmonton & Calgary"). I especially dig their performance of "Whatever" on this album. Better than the studio version.

[kah]

Lately I've been cruising to Bob Seger's Live Bullet. I just need to mellow out every once in a while, and Bob's a great way to do that.

Next week I'll be back to Korn.

[sickness]

See, Bob's generally cool and good to get that laid-back feeling from but everytime I hear "Like A Rock" I wanna throw it at like his head.

[kah]

That's because they ruined it in the Chevy truck commercials. Here's (http://www.segerfile.com/rock.html) a little bit about the song. It's not one of my favorites, but hey- this isn't the days of cassettes. You just have to push one little button and you can skip the song. Why bitch?

[sickness]

Actually, I was paraphrasing (poaching?) David Spade's best line ever. Sadly, it was from his early SNL days when he still had the haircut of a 10-year-old. Something along the lines of:

"I saw Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band this summer. I had a lot of fun until the encore. It was 'Turn the Page' and 'Like A Rock' and then he left the stage without playing 'Night Moves.' I wanted to throw like a rock at like his head."

[neglet]

I saw Seger in concert once, at an outdoor venue. (I grew up in his hometown). It was awesome, except for the guy in front of us who had his head in a bag the WHOLE TIME. Dude, if you're going to get that wasted, why bother shelling out the cash for a concert?

Anyway, I'm currently listening to my entire collection alphabetically by title, so that I can put all the songs in 3/4 time in a playlist. I'm at the end of the Ds right now.

And yes, I know I'm anal retentive. :ohwell:

LoadMetallica


Ugh. As a huge Metallica fan, I demand you put the cd on the ground and pulverize it with your heel until only a silvery dust remains.

Load screams "SELLOUT." They know it, we know it, but it doesn't make it ok. I need to go shoot something now.

[Nostromo]

Sorry kah. I didn't mean to light your fuse. I guess the softer side of me
was in control. As penance, I'm warming up Master of Puppets. That's more like it. :wink: N

[sickness]

Kill through Master were incredible albums, veritable blueprints for the genre but the past is the past. Those who lament Metallica's later works (some start with Justice, others with Metallica and still more with Load) need to understand something very fundamental: the past is the past. Live in it if you like and pretend later Metallica records don't exist, just know that it's unreasonable to expect them to make the same kind of music in the exact same style over and over and expect it to have the same impact. If their style never grew, you'd be lamenting how they make the same records over and over again. Sure, it doesn't always have a good result but growth and change is necessary and it necessarily comes with risk. That's what being creative is all about. Going out on a limb and breaking new ground. The result is not always a good thing (see The Rolling Stones' Goat's Head Soup, Emotional Rescue or Dirty Work -- that's right... a good 10-15% of the Stones' albums have SUCKED!!!) but the exercise in creativity is -- and it's necessary, too.

Sure, Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger are no Kill, Ride or Master but they do have their moments and I think the band as a whole has been getting more and more used to their new skin as well as fusing some of their old style with it. St. Anger is a much more taut album than Load by miles. Until It Sleeps, King Nothing, Ronnie and The Outlaw Torn as well as Fuel and a couple others from ReLoad and most of St. Anger are worthy of comparison to at least the black album and Justice.

Garage, Inc. was pretty good, too. They did what you're supposed to do when you cover a song: make it your own and/or elevate it.

I just can't forgive that S&M shit, though.

[kah]

That's much better. If your "softer side" means "easy-listening-elevator-music-loving side," then I guess... no, that's still crap. There is no excuse for that album.

Ok, I'm calm now. I'm going out in a little while, so I am going to blare some Kill 'Em All to take the pain away.

Ok, I just read sick's post, so I have to say this....

Load, Reload, S&M, and St. Anger are STILL CRAP. The only reason they even get away with selling that crap is because they are Metallica. I don't have a problem with them changing and growing, I have a problem with garbage albums. I think St. Anger at least shows they are getting back on track, because it is less painful to listen to than the others, but seriously, 4 shit albums in a row? Garth Brooks made so-so albums, Guns n Roses had the Spaghetti Incident, and even Led Zepplin had albums that were underappreciated by the critics and the masses. I just can't abide the fact that one of the greatest metal bands went soft. Whiskey in Jar? Try drown me in vomit. Madonna changes all the time. The difference is when she changes, it's for the better. They could learn something from her. Wait a minute- I forgot, they don't need us anymore! Yuppies buy their albums now.

[Nostromo]

And speaking of selling out .........post Metallica....

After watching Supernova play 3 original songs over 3 weeks, my prediction is New Years Eve in Vegas will be their only full house. I think I saw Jason twitch a little ... you know that tick thing that happens when your mind is screaming "bad place..bad place..you must go or you will die." Damn contractual obligations. Wednesday night I think he was having a flash back to Tommy's Joynt. :wink: N
N

[Jakester]

The first tune they did had a catchy hook, but other than that...meh.

I like everyone left, except for Dilana. I'm Large on Storm and Lukas. Now that Dilana did the rat thing, I certainly think that Lukas is the frontrunner. Toby is awesome, though. He's hysterical, and Magni's just such a nice guy, it'll be sad when he goes home.

[sickness]

I hear ya, Kah. I just think you're being a little harsh on them. I don't think anything they've done since the change has been that bad. In fact, some of it has been pretty memorable and at least stands up to Justice or Black.

Oh, and Madonna sucks ass no matter how she changes. She's convinced her shit don't stink and she's convinced that the genres she mines need her rather than the other way around. What do you think would happen if she were to stick to a style for more than a song or three or maybe an album? Oh yeah. That's right. We get songs about soy lattes. :wink: Frankly, I don't think she's put out a great song since "Like A Prayer" but that's just me. Honestly, other than "Frozen," "Ray of Light" and "Music," can you tell me a memorable hit she's had since 1989? And can you tell me those 3 stand up to her 80's sexpot days? :D

[neglet]

I don't normally like Madonna, even her old stuff, but I thought "Beautiful Stranger" was a cool tune.

[kah]

I don't buy Madonna's stuff, but I respect her. She manages to keep people interested over the span of many years by changing her ways. If she does something that doesn't seem to work, then she changes again until it does work.

Ok, nothing on any of those albums stands up to anything on Justice. I happen to be one of those people that has great affection for the Black album. There are maybe 3 or 4 songs across the four newer albums that I can even listen to. Garage Inc is great, and I don't count that along with the crap.

I'm going to go out on a limb and put TOBY in the winners circle (long shot)
but better odds than the track. Lukas is a showman and has good pipes but
he never lets his voice go full bore. Always sounds like he's holding back just a little. N

I've recently been listening to:

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea: This album is, IMHO, the beat album of the 90's. (OK Computer and Nevermind be damned!) The emotion this record forces you to feel is irrisitable. I own it on vinyl, cd and it's on my iPod. I don't know how many times I've listened to it. I lost count.

Deadsy - Phantasmagore: I got this about two weeks ago, and I haven't stopped listening to it. I've been waiting for it for like 5 years and I wasn't let down!

TV On The Radio - Desparate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes: I just got this one yesterday. It's really really great. One of the best new records I've heards in a while. I don't think I'll quit listening anytime soon.

[Immortal1982]

Right now my main songs are

Land of Confusion - Disturbed. Good cover of the Genesis song, and just fits well into their style.

Rooftops - Lost Prophets. Saw them play a charity event locally and got hooked by their music. Not the greatest band, but just fun to listen to.

[sickness]

Heard Sum 41's "Still Waiting" this morning. What ever happened to them? They had a pretty good run for about 3 or 4 years and then nothing.

The lead singer is married to Avril Lavigne IIRC, and they had a song on the Fantastic Four soundtrack last year.

[sickness]

You know, I've been on the 'net for 10 years and I still have no idea what IIRC means.

Oh, and the Fantastic Four soundtrack pretty much disappeared, too. Really bad job by the promotions department. Batman Forever was a less-than-stellar movie but look at a few cuts from its soundtrack:

U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Seal - Kiss From A Rose
The Offspring - Smash It Up

Or, hell, The Smashing Pumpkins "The End Is The Beginning Is The End" from Batman & Robin.

I've been getting into podcasts lately. Currently listening to NPR Music, a segment about Rodrigo y Gabriela.

[Minion]

Did you guys know that the band The Good, The Bad & The Queen will rock your socks off and then, upon collecting the socks that were previously rocked, shove them down your throat? Of course, with Damon Albarn (you know, Blur...Gorillaz...) lending some vocals, it is assured fun times.

Also, the new Bloc Party album A Weekend in the City is superwondertasterific. That's not a word, but it should be, so that I can describe certain albums. Albums such as the afforementioned album, which I will not dare describe the quality of again lest I be trapped in an endless loop of word creation.

Next...you should check the album I Choose Noise by Hybrid, the band that makes 12 of the 14 portions of my skull quiver with a disturbing yet hypnotic gesticulation. And before you ask...yes, I video taped it and put it on YouTube, which caused the video to eventually be Digged, Videosifted and then Myspaced, before being launched into the blogosphere where it was vaporized by an unknown blogotropic force.

It was liquid eye candy, of this I assure you.

Oh, last of all, and if you weren't aware, this music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJMYQy7DTvY&eurl=) is by far the most insane thing I've seen since Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer."

Did you get it in Quadrophonic sound on vinyl? If not, you suck.

I think my folks still have a copy on vinyl, so I have heard it as it was meant to be; it is awesome. But I have no record player, and the sound via my system is a decent approximation of the original.

You only wish I sucked. :p

[Jakester]

Yeah, but not as much as your hubby.

I have an inexpensive record player. We still have quite a large amount of vinyl. Still, vinyl purists would say that it's horrible as a good turntable and stylus runs several hundred dollars.

I've pretty much put my mp3's on shuffle. But, I have been leaning towards Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers as of late.

[mckracken]

i discovered i can fall asleep to cable channel 912 ANTHEM ROCKERS all night long... music from Slaughter and Poison, RATT, van Halen and Aerosmith...

[Jakester]

I'll be goddamned if I'm not just a little (or a lot) in lust with Katy Perry. She's got a great style, a smoky voice, nice boobs, and she seems pretty damn smart and funny. She's the one, who, like Jill Sobule, "Kissed a Girl." Oh, but she used to be a Christian rocker, so she's got that "good girl gone bad" thing working for her, too.
Check "UR So Gay"

Oh, and Brit soul singer, Duffy is totally yummy, too. She speaks Welsh!

[Jakester]

There's only one thing to do, and I think the Daleks said it best:
"EXSPERMINATE! EXSPERMINATE!
White WEE-wee!"

[Graymatter]

Listening to The Three E.P.'s, by The Beta Band

[Jakester]

How does that help get Katy Perry naked and in front of me?

[Gentlemen Death]

Right now I am trying something different and listening to Coldplay's new cd. Its good...but different...I am still trying to get used to it but not bad.:smirk:

[Graymatter]

Weirdo - The Charlatans UK

[Jakester]

Orgy - Stitches
(but I still have a chubby for Katy)

[Graymatter]

Seeing Hands -- Dengue Fever

[Gentlemen Death]

Blue October- GREAT FUCKING CD!!!!

[Graymatter]

Prescilla -- Bat for Lashes

[kah]

I saw Family Force Five at the Warped Tour a couple weeks ago and preordered their cd. It just got here on Saturday and I've listened to it four times.

[Jakester]

Did you see my girl, Katy Perry? 'cuz if you did, I have a whole new set of spank fantasies lined up.

[kah]

No, I was headed over there after the Say Anything set, but Gym Class Heroes started and I couldn't drag myself away.

[Jakester]

Some douche from that band is banging my Katy!

[kah]

LMAO!

Who is he? Maybe I'd like to bang him, too.

[Jakester]

I'm not sure. I know nothing about the band other than one of them is a douche because he's banging my Katy.

[Jakester]

It's Travis McCoy:

If you want to bang him....eeesh.
And, um...Katy's a lot less attractive now.

[kah]

Yeah. :gag:

[Jakester]

If you're gonna gag on something...

[kah]

Cue up, bitch.

[Jakester]

I ain't waitin' in no line! Red'll hook me up!

[neglet]

I think that was "cue up," as in, "get your stick ready," not "queue up," as in, "get in line."

Bad boy! SPANK!

Maybe if she'd said "pencil up," you would've understood.

[Jakester]

Oh, how harsh you are, Negs! Spank me again!


Stellastarr* "In the Walls"

[The Tyrant Virus]

Blue October- GREAT FUCKING CD!!!!

Which album? Foiled is a brilliant album, especially considering their style isn't necessarily what I typically listen to.

That said, I've been listening to the 3 new Metallica songs that have been released so far. Two can be found on www.metallica.com (The Day That Never Comes and My Apocalypse) and the other (a live version from Ozzfest) can be found on their myspace (Cyanide). I hated St. Anger, but this album is looking to be a nice comeback of sorts.

[kah]

Lol, negs.

TV, I'm finding the new Metallica pretty generic and not that remarkable. It's ok, but not what would bring me back around after the last 4 shitty albums.

[neglet]

I'm listening to stuff on shuffle, but I find lately that when a Keane song comes up, I have to hit replay.

That's fair enough. I've enjoyed all of their previous albums, except St. Anger, so even though it's not as great and dynamic as, say, ...And Justice for All (possibly my favorite album of all time) I can accept it as being maybe on par with Reload, maybe Load.

I hope that sentence made sense.

My fave band (Marillion, natch), did a cover of "Bedshaped," at a gig once. It's fantastic. They also covered Britney's "Toxic."

Uploading via p2p is bad, mmmkay, but, if you're interested, something could be worked out.

[Graymatter]

Sweet Emotion -- Aerosmith

[Gentlemen Death]

TV on the Radio has released two new tracks on their website www.tvontheradio.com (http://www.tvontheradio.com). I have been listening to that for the better part of the day. :D

[The Tyrant Virus]

I've been listening to the entire Death Magnetic album non-stop for the past week or so and I can't stop. The couple songs they released were probably the weakest on the album. Most of the album is fairly old-school, dynamic and heavy Metallica. I'm LOVING it.
