It'll be tomorrow, likely.

Or late tonight, when I'm buzzed pretty good.

Gonna go out and get some beers now, but, good talk, gentleman.

There's no way I could listen to Coug for 12 hours straight....or Miles Davis, as much as I like him. Too much good music out there for me to concentrate on one artist for too long....though I did go through a phase in 6th grade where I listened to nothing but Pink Floyd's The Wall for about 3-4 months straight.

Who hasn't gone through a stage where they've listened to The Wall for 3-4 straight months? :-)

well, I could do miles for 12 straight, but that would force me to bust out all of his albums that I own, I'd still want some diversity though

Ha...I think everyone should. It's probably my favorite album (double album, whatever) of all-time. Everyone I know is always so stuck on DSOTM that they don't give The Wall the credit that it fully deserves. Interesting movie as well....

Godspeed You Black Emperor!- Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

I'm in that kind of mood.

I was wondering when you were going to jump in this conversation.....I haven't listened to a whole lot of Godspeed You Black Emperor, but I see it being recommended all the time , so I am going to check them out again.

Anyone here like ska or reggae?

It's an acquired taste. It took me almost a full year before I could finally start appreciating them.

Depends on what bands you mean.....I went through a huge reggae phase in college (probably because I was high most of the time)....I still am a huge Marley/Tosh/Wailers fan, and still listen to Steel Pulse and Burning Spear every once in a while as well.

Yea I have heard that....the friends who have recommended it to me in the past all have very good tastes in music, so I trust their opinion. I have a live show of theirs on my computer that I am going to burn and take on my road trip tomorrow.

Check out a new Canadian band called Bedouin Soundclash.

Will do. Thanks for the suggestion.

I prefer the live: is there anybody out there version. You get the entire wall album, and its live, its win/win

I'm trying really hard right now, and it's slowly taking shape. They're weird, but the more I listen, the more I find myself unwilling to stop listening.

I went out and got copies of F# A# and Skinny Fists in the last month.

Good call. That is a great live album. Actually all of their live albums are insanely good. One of my biggest regrets in life was being very sick and not being able to see Pink Floyd when they were on the Pulse tour. I had a ticket and ended up giving it to one of my friends...I figured I would catch them the next time they toured....whoops.

cant go wrong with sigur ros

how on earth are u 17. you're way too cool to be a HSer, still boggles my mind, carry on

I guess I should really check out some Indie music. I feel so lost in this conversation.

check out, clap your hands say yeah, remy zero(though they no longer exist), mars volta(thankfully they got back together), sufjan stevens, Bloc party, and Neutral Milk Hotel(though I'm not that fond of them)

a long time ago when i heard you (or it might have been filesharer) mention them i checked that cd out and now i love them. i have to admit that sometimes i just skip to the parts where they start rocking out though, depends on how much time ive got.

edit: gah, i passed my 2000th post without realizing it, oh well.

go 18 minutes into sleep on skinny fists, and feel that beat. that should help you get into them.

Not a Neutral Milk Hotel fan? I kind of like them. To NortonFan, it doesn't matter if its consider "indie", but just know that there is plenty of great music out there that doesn't get a lot of exposure, in every genre. I don't know which of these bands technically qualify as "indie" (a term I seldom use and am not a fan of in terms of categorizing music), but check out some of the bands on KDawg's list. Some other bands you don't hear much about but you might like are The New Pornographers, Belle & Sebastian, Sound Tribe Sector 9, LCD Soundsystem, Portishead, The Shins, The Walkmen, TV on the Radio, Tortoise, The Eels, Mogwai, Super Furry Animals, and Spoon. You might find some stuff you like in there.

well, I was kinda okay with holland1945, and people that I've talked to have said that if you can't really get into that song for Neutral Milk, then you probably won't get into their shit. So I kinda took that as one of those things, ya know

I have to give Mike Doughty his props. Soul Coughing was a great band, but, he is really good on his own

Been listening to The Clarks alot lately. Local Pittsburgh band that has had some big hits. Not too sure how well known they are but they are big around here for sure.

If you like music in any capacity do yourself a favor and buy In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. If it doesn't turn into one of your favorite albums right away, give it some time and let it grow on you. There are very few albums that I love more than that one.

Couldn't agree with you more, Agaetis Byrjun is easily one of my top five albums ever.

George Clinton's Greatest Funkin' Hits

John Mellencamp's the man.

AC/DC

Warren Zevon.

I haven't spun Zevon since I was 13. Good shit.

oh comely is a real good neutral milk hotel song. not many bands can make an 8 minute song with just a guitar and voice and make me want to listen to the whole thing. and for norton fan, who the recommendations were for, hes really into metal so i think some of the "harder" indie would be good suggestions. i think he'll like mars volta, at the drive in, and death from above 1979 (not really indie but oh well).

Also, in Burgundy's vain, try "Sunn 0)))." I don't like them much, but they're very gloomy. Try them.

Neutral Milk Hotel is a fabulous album that, like most great albums, rewards patience. The two albums it was hardest for me to listen to at first (that I later couldn't stop playing) were "Aeroplane over the Sea" and "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."

Anyone who likes hiphop would be well-served listening to "The Avalanches" with an open mind. For some reason I've had them looping on my iPod the last two days.

i have Since I Left You and im only hesitant to put it on because once i play one song off it i have to listen to the rest, in order.

she has a girlfriend now
she has a girlfriend now

"guys don't do no more for me"

"you never loved me, like i wanted you to"
"i loved you baby, what do you want me to do?"

she said she found someone who's gonna hold her hand
she said she found someone who's gonna understand
she don't need nobody to be her man
she don't need nobody to be her man

i never thought it would end like this

i'll even cut my penis
off for you...
she has a
girlfriend

beautiful

anything emo/indie/hardcore



and some rap



teneight

i counter your emo/hardcore bombs with my ska/punk/reggae nukes

otis redding

i dont care what kind of music you are into just please check out otis if you enjoy music at all. in my opinion the greatest pure singing voice ive ever heard.


p.s. bump

Mogwai sounds good right now.

The Streets also sounds good.

Anybody here like/heard of M83? I love them.

i dig on some M83 every now and then. good ambient/electronic sort of music.

I've got about 2 pages worth of different types of music to listen to now. This is going to be fun.

right now, I'm on a big Steely Dan kick same with the Doobie Bros. I am glad I reread this thread, its given me some great ideas for DLs

Steely Dan, gah. I'd really like SD a lot more if my mom hadn't overplayed the shit of them when I was a child.

I just recently stumbled onto my Grass Roots vinyl. I think they were pretty instrumental in the shift from folk to rock. Good stuff.

im the same with grateful dead and phish. damn stoner dad.

I recently wrapped up “Doobie Brothers December”, were my friends eventually refused to ride in the car with me. I never thought I’d say this, but if I ever hear China Grove again, I’m going to shoot myself. Never over play one of your favorites.

Lou Bega- Mambo #5

That guy looked like he had at three hits in him.
