I listen to Pandora like once a week, and I'm doing it right now (because hip-hop is not my forte, and I defer to the people at Pandora to relieve the mental constipation).

I just got a pretty sweet PanString:

Entry: Dr. Octagon (artist)

First song:
Dr. Octagon- Earth People
Busta Rhymes- Got you all in check
DJ Zeph- The Movement
Cannibal Ox- The F-word
Aesop Rock- No Jumper Cables
Pete Rock- The Main Ingredient
Sage Francis- Climb Trees (from his awesome album "Personal Journals")
Prince Paul- Weapon World
Roots Manuva- Juggle Things Propa (from his awesome album "Brand New Secondhand)


And that's about as far as I've gotten. I think I left out, maybe, 2 artists. I know one of them was Naughty by Nature, and I forget the other. With some kinds of music, I feel like Pandora is very hit or miss. But this was a pretty spot-on run.

Man I hate hip-hop. Btw Dad (can I call you Dad?), I think you'd like Windy & Carl if you haven't heard it yet.

Whaaa? Boo

Air- Moon Safari

this is the new joint, check it out yo

hey someone download Unemployed Black Astronaut by Busdriver if you want some different hip hop. how can you not like the name of that song?

Today's liiiiiiiiist:

Autechre - Draft 7.30
Elliott Smith - Either/Or
Portishead - Live in NYC
Gloria Record - A Lull in Traffic EP
David Garza - This Euphoria

lvpro - great call with JB's Meaningless. So, so great. I would have 10,000 of that guy's babies. And re: Jon Mayer, I think he's a talented guy, but he's a little too willing to "play ball" for me. I feel like he could probably make some really good music if he took a slightly less safe route, but he's proven he's willing to pander to the masses. Also, his voice gets a little grating after a while.

Try Todd's "Hermit of Mink Hollow"

Bang the drum is very annoying:

Bang the drum by Todd = Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes


I've got in the car: Big Audio Dynamite, E=MC2

judas priest- screaming for vengeance

rob halford is the metal GOD

Guns N' Roses- Use Your Illusion I

Yep, I'm listening to Meaningless again. Love it. I agree with your comments about Mayer pandering. I think the Trio stuff is a little less pandering.

After Meaningless, I might listen to it again. Because it's amazing. Or maybe something else. Not sure yet.

Lately,

Wu-Tang Clan- Enter the Wu-Tang
Yo La Tengo- I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One
Tom Waits- Bone Machine

Today, Art Tatum.

Here's a dabate no one cares about:

Art Tatum, or Oscar Peterson?

After Meaningless, I went with The Elected - Sun, Sun, Sun. Blake Sennett from Rilo Kiley's side project. Good stuff.

Now I've just got the iPod on shuffle.

Current Track: Ben Lee - We're All In This Together

311 and DMB all day....

Oscar Peterson, ainec.

Art is my man about 6% of the time, but for most purposes you're "right."

DMX--ITS DARK AND HELL IS HOT....i havent listed to this album in years and i forgot how much i love it

I had my library on shuffle and It 5 by Architecture In Helsinki came on and I needed to listen to that whole album, so...

Architecture In Helsinki- In Case We Die

Ron Mexico is Gay - Nameliss.

DMB - Live at Red Rocks

scotty doesnt know - lustra

i hate this song

by itself yeah....but you have to watch the movie then listen to the song

i just find it hilarious





the suicide machines are the greatest, punk/ska/hardcore band of all time btw

Classic band, but that statement might be a little bit overboard.....my personal vote for greatest punk band will always go to The Clash.

yeah the clash is definatly the best

but i think TSM are great because they can successfully mix ska/hardcore which is kind of like mixing dill pickles and an oven

if anyone know any good ska/punk bands...or anything that is just really fast


tell me, im in depserate need

How underground you want? My roomate like Ska. I know he likes The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, I can ask for more, if you want.

that would be nice

anything

thanks

Alright, he's emailing me an Amazon list that he says should yet you a good head start (specify, it's not his list).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania...5Fencoding=UTF8

neat-o

Oh, and this one moreso:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania...5Fencoding=UTF8

Lmao, The Mighty Mighty Bostons? That's a flashback. I'm listening to As I Lay Dying.

never figured you for a hardcore guy

dutch...thanks for the list, that will keep me busy for a while

I can say that I've never heard a single Bostons' song.


Thank my boyfriend... I mean roommate, roommate.

I call bs. They had a hugely popular song during the late 90's that you HAD to of heard. It was like Barbie Girl and mmbop or whatever, you hate to admit it but you have heard it. It was something like "I have never knocked on wood, but you wonder if I have or wonder if I would". Something like that.

That was them? I wouldn't call that BS, I just didn't know it was them. For all I know they did Chumbawumba (who did that?)

Chumbawumba was the name of the band, they sang the song about drinking. "I drankk a Whiskey drink, I drank Vodka drink blah blah pissin the night away.

chubumbiwumba did the "i get knocked down, and i get up again yournever going to keep me down"

and mighty mighy bossstones did their whole, "never had to to knock on wood, because i heard it isnt good, from the impression that i get"

Good song. One of my favs.

after my first day of work


Bob Dylan is very relaxing

A.C. Newman (also known as Carl Newman from The New Pornographers) - The Slow Wonder

The Arcade Fire - Funeral.

Modern classic.

And now it's Ben Harper & The Blind Boys of Alabama - There Will Be A Light. A little soul/gospel. VERY, VERY good stuff.

Tis a great album.

I just popped in Sunny Day Real Estate's How it Feels To Be Something On. Just picked up the new People Under the Stairs CD today, and it is great so far.

my Fat Wreck Chords Comp cd came - protect (children benefit cd)...its pretty good

mxpx- broken hearts disease is a nice little catchy tune

Picture this:

A collaboration between Jon Brion and Brenden Benson.

Would human ears even be able to hear this? I think it would cause our brains to explode with it's perfect, pure poppyness.

I'd take that chance.

Dave Matthews Band - Stand Up

Have you guys heard the new Scott Walker disc? It's called "Drift." I think it came out like a month ago, I dunno.

I took my bimonthly "smoke and sample" night tonight, and.... God. I haven't been this impressed by anything since the beej I snagged from the chubby lonely chick a few weeks ago. Give it a shot guys. It's different. It's dark/sparsey/pop. But it's just so good.

It reminds me of a combination of Anthony and the Johnsons and Bonnie "Prince" Billy during the "I see a Darkness" era.

I wouldn't invoke the name of that album unless I were dead/dead DEAD serious.

Try it, guys.
