I mentioned before I was trying to acquaint myself with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Well here’s what is quite possibly the best performance I’ve ever heard:



If the lyrics don’t mean much, consider Wikipedia’s summary:
:

The song tells the story of a man about to be executed by the electric chair. The "Mercy Seat" refers both to the throne of God in the heavens, which the man feels he will soon visit, and to the electric chair. The song is laden with allusions to Christianity; in the Old Testament, the mercy seat is the symbol of the throne of God over the Ark of the Covenant.
But what I love most is the way the whole track slowly builds up in complexity and intensity. I need to find more songs like this.

New PiL/Public Image Ltd. song. One Drop

A seriously good tune.

Wings of Fire 02-25-2012 06:03 AM



Still my second favourite song ever.

Joe Satriani is coming LIVE!!!!

I hope I get to see him :(


MeechMunchie 02-27-2012 10:44 AM

yay



And it's got twice as many tracks as their last mediocre effort, so I'm optimistic.

Crashpunk 02-27-2012 12:09 PM

Been listening to some classic AC/DC

OddjobAbe 02-27-2012 02:40 PM

Haven't heard Return to Forever in a long time.


The only thing I dislike about the great jazz and contemporary classical pieces is that you always seem to get some little tit going "I'm only 16! I'm not mainstream! Docile general public!" wherever there's room for comments.

I seen mentions of OST's a little while back on the thread and I thought I'll join in with this little number.



Beautiful song in my opinion and can be listened to outside of the game. But, in saying that, I'm a whore for all of Nobuo Uematsu's work.

Speaking of which, Nobou's metal band The Black Mages turns 'To Zanarkand' into 'The Skies Above' and great oul tune.

We're studying Pet Sounds in Music Studies. It's amazing.


Manco 02-29-2012 09:07 AM



I love how well this song pulls off the crazy sound.

Dynamithix 02-29-2012 11:28 AM

New Gorillaz.

ZOMG NOT A YOUTUBE VIDEO!

Wings of Fire 03-01-2012 02:51 PM

But everyone on that image is awful?

Mr. Bungle 03-01-2012 05:14 PM

Yeah, but it's still music related enough.

Phylum 03-02-2012 12:55 AM

Since when is Ike Turner awful?


T-nex 03-02-2012 03:19 AM

I found the modem comparison funny...

Mr. Bungle 03-02-2012 07:00 AM

I'm liistening to the "new" Foo Fighters album. Really good stuff, I can understand why it got such acclaim. Much better than their previous album.

STM 03-02-2012 08:24 AM

their best of the best.

Mr. Bungle 03-02-2012 01:22 PM

That one's great, but nothing can compare to Everlong:

Chillin'

I've been re-listening to Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown album. It has quite a few good songs but nothing compared to Dookie and American Idiot.

One song on the album that sticks out is this

I can't believe those exist. Really.
