okay, so I need some direction to a song. I need to know who does that song in the commerical for that show Inked that is about a tatoo parlor in Miami

I've been listening to the Bob Dylan Biograph for a while.

Just watched the video portions on the DVD-audio version of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by the Flaming Lips.....what a great album. Can't wait to see those guys live again when I get the chance.

You know, I like this album too....I got to see Glen Phillips open for Nickel Creek (note, that is NOT nickelback) during college....I can dig it.

On the list for today:

The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth
Sun Kil Moon - Tiny Cities
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am That's What I Am Not
Zero 7 - When it Falls
Beck - Mutations (by the way, Beck has two Nick Drake covers that you can download off his website, and they are great)
Traveling Wilburys - Volume 1

I also am liking the 40th Anniversary Tribute album to The Beatles Rubber Soul. Every song is recreated or redone, lots of good artists on here. Surfjan Stevens, Low, Ben Harper, Yonder Mountain String Band, Ben Kweller, etc.

Yesterday, on my drive out to the Hard Rock in Tampa, I turned to the classic rock station. They were playing a clock of Tom Petty. I heard the following songs:

Don't Come Around Here No More
The Waiting
Breakdown
You Got Lucky

It was a great blast from the past.

Want to hear a song my son wrote? It is on a flash animation on newgrounds. More specifics and the link are on this thread I created:

Since you all are music fans, I thought maybe you would want to hear it.

I need to buy some more CDs. I tend to play the same things over and over again. Maybe I will make a trip today. My last purchase was Billy Idol's greatest hits. It's good but I realized I enjoyed him much more live. Have you ever seen the video to Mony Mony? Well, I was there! I was standing right infront of Steve Stevens. My ribs were smashed against the boards. I had bruises for days but it was worth it.


Oh... I believe I heard on the radio this week that the Samshing Pumpkins were getting back together!

Petty is the man....you ever see him in concert? I've seen him twice and he's been great both times....I also heard the Pumpkins were reuniting. I am not a huge fan of theirs, but I have also heard a rumor that they might head to Bonnaroo, so if they are, I will catch them there.

As a Weezer fan since the Blue Album, I have to say that I love Make Believe. It's Weezer's best album since Pinkerton, and at the moment I even prefer it to Pinkerton.

I saw Petty only once. It was the night after I saw Billy Idol.

Oringally, I wanted to see Petty but th tickets were sold out. So we bought Billy Idol tickets. Then my ex won Petty tickets on the radio. This was back in 87. The sound was great but our tickets were horrible. I couln't even see Tom Petty because there was a pole in the way.

That stinks....I have been fortunate enough to see him twice, both times with great opening bands (Jackson Browne & The Black Crowes). He is worth seeing even now if he comes anywhere close to you while on tour.

By the way, can we sticky this thread? 8)

Finally some love for Make Believe, I think Pinkerton is better but still good to hear another Weezer fan not bashing Make Believe.

I feel like listening to some of my favorite 80's albums.

Right now, Joy Division- Closer.

"Isolation" is my favorite Joy Division song....I listened to The Crow soundtrack the other day, and I really dig the Dead Souls cover by Nine Inch Nails on it....do you listen to Echo & The Bunnymen?

Heard of, but never heard.

If you've ever seen Donnie Darko, there is an Echo & The Bunnymen song at the very beginning of the movie. I'm sure you'd like them if you are a Joy Division fan.

Will check out.

its actually near the end of the director's cut, if you see that. the director's cut opens with INXS- Never Tear Us Apart and echo and the bunnymen is as theyre walking down the stairs at the party. i also recommend the d-cut just strictly talking about the movie. it clarifies a lot.

Ah, never seen the Director's Cut...the version I've seen plays Echo & The Bunnymen while Donnie rides his bike around or whatever during the opening credits....

more SB news on ESPN!

requesting some good electronic music

What kind of electronic music? House? Trance? Drum n bass? What kind of stuff do you listen to now, might be able to make a few recommendations...

nevermind. haha youve already answered this question for me in an old topic i made about lemon jelly that i just remembered. heres what you said:

"Massive Attack, Portishead, Thievery Corporation, Music for the Jilted Generation by The Prodigy, Air, Zero 7, Telefon Tel Aviv, Royksopp, Dzihan & Kamien Orchestra"

so ill check these out, and any more you might have.

I wonder if people who like electronica music dig the minimalist movement in classical music that took place in the 20th century.

I'm not really up on exactly what all of the electronica genres mean specifically....but I would assume fans of the trance music would probably like minimalism the best.

Check out John Adams, Philip Glass, and especially Steve Reich. Steve Reich's piece called "Six Marimbas" is probably one of the most palatable minimalist pieces out there. Also check out John Adams' "Short Ride in a Fast Machine"

I'd like to know what your opinion on that stuff is.

Flogging Molly
Pogues
Fenians
Killers
2 Pac
Rappin 4-Tay
Furey's

i couldnt find much stuff to download from them so i had to settle for listening to 30 second samples of their music in itunes. the Steve Reich stuff is cool. i can definently see the similarities to electronica. it has the "looping" phrases with slight variations as the basis of the piece, like a lot of techno/electronica songs. the thing i like about this type of music is you can kind of use it to just give your ears something to do while you do something else. i could see myself listening to this while doing work or playing poker.

i liked "Six Marimbas" and i also listened to a few songs from his Music for 18 Musicians album. that was also cool, same type of stuff. im probably going to listen to some more of Reich's stuff and maybe buy that 18 Musicians album.

a lot of what i just said goes for Philip Glass as well, except his music reminded me more of the techno/dance side of electronica. im more into the ambient kind of stuff, not really sure what its called. add some drums and bass to his stuff and youd have electronica. haha actually i just listened to a little of a Philip Glass remix album where they did just that, so there ya go.

"Short Ride in a Fast Machine" seemed more like regular classical music to me

Right now...

A Biggie mixtape by DJ Vlad and DJ Dirty Harry

Going from The Mars Volta to Beyonce would make me feel high too. That's a wacky mix...but strangely...I enjoy all of those albums. Cheers.

Currently listening to Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American. I'd forgotten how excellent this album was. Reminds me of high school.

Here's what Rod Reynolds likes right now

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane...
A Silver Mount Zion - He Has Left Us Alone
Sigur Ros - all of it

I've been listening to a lot of

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists- Hearts of Oak
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists- The Tyranny of Distance

I've been trying to listen to some other stuff (The new Belle and Sebastian disc, among others), but I just end up deciding I really need to listen to Parallel or Together? again


I'll be back.
