I'm currently obsessed with Hybrid. They make some of the best electronica music I've ever heard.

Oh oh I like Yes!
I have their 90125 album /pointless post |
I like it to listen to the music of Howard Shore, Breaking Benjamin, Panic! At The Disco and Billy Tallent (some tracks).
Any other Fans out there? I'd never heard something about Flaming Lips. |
Well, I have listened to "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin.
"This is Halloween" remixed by panic! at the disco and I liked the two songs. However, I still need to listen to more songs before I actually formulate an opinion. And of the two remixed versions of "this is Halloween" I enjoy Marylon Mansion's version just a smidge better. But Marylon still freaks the crap out of me. I don't think I have a favorite band/artist but I listen to a bunch of different genres and bands. Having a variety to listen to is good. |
Folktronica saved my life recently. EVeryone needs to check out the likes of Four Tet, Patrick Wolf, Boards of Canada, Feilds and Múm right now!
|
You ever notice how people who say rap sucks usually don't know what the **** they're talking about and like modern country? Yeah, don't listen to those people.
Oh, and get the Gatalog. |
Boards of Canada and Múm are folktronica? Well bugger me with a fishfork. Worth looking into if they're contemporaries.
:
That being said Breaking Benjamin are the bees knees if the bee was mentally and physically retarded, in a wheelchair and without knees. Fans of System of a Down, or those just looking for a laugh, watch this. Falls out of synch though. [EDIT EDIT] THIS DEMANDS ATTENTION. "http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/site_imag...k/nav_leaf.gif new album in the works 13 January 2007 sigur rós have begun recording their new album and expect to finish it later this year. according to georg, it remains to be seen whether the band will be taking a totally new direction on the album. “we have finished recording a few songs but some more things need to be done. we don’t know exactly where the album is heading yet. we are really just experimenting at this stage. some of the songs we recorded are old songs which we had written a while ago, unreleased material which we never got a chance to finish. we decided it was time they were recorded.” georg says there is a possibility the album will be released this year but nothing is confirmed at this point. " |
SoaD is a great band, too! :fuzgrin:
|
I only have one album by Sigur Ros but I really enjoy it. Maybe I'll check out the new one.
|
"Rings Around the World" by Super Furry Animals has been stuck in my head for like....2 hours
O.o |
That new Inspectah Deck album kicks ass.
Hey lets start the last album you got again! Me first... Spawn of Possession:Noctambulant |
Erm, Eels - Electro Shock Blues and Futureheads - News & Tributes.
Both very good albums. |
What a ****ing cheapskate.
Last CD/DVD I got was John Butler Trio live at somewhere in Sydney. Unsurprisingly good performance of Ocean. |

|
My band are doing an acoustic session for our local BBC radio soon. That's musically related yeah?
I'm loving Primal Scream atm.. Indie dance ftw. Screamadelica yeah Fez. :) |
T'is an album I live by. Got the shirt etc :P
And yeah I love ESB. Not as depressing as I had hoped though :P |
I have just recently heard the song "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny." A friend showed a music video of it to me.
|
:
Could you maybe describe the sound of ESB as opposed to those albums? I'd love to know. |
Cold.
I think Beautiful Freak is their best album. |
I'm more of an electro shock blues man than a beautiful freak man but they are both good albums/ ESB deals mainly with the death his mother and sister but it does so in an almost whimsical way.
|
Well, since the question was asked, I actually went out and got three new albums yesterday:
The Moon and Antarctica by Modest Mouse. My second Modest Mouse album --- my first one was the Lonesome Crowded West, which I bought last summer, I think. Pure awesomeness, both of them. The Soft Bulletin by the Flaming Lips. My first Flaming Lips album --- all I had before were some random downloads from the Internet. It kicks major arse, imo. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie. Golden oldie (aaah, good ole 60s). I had it on tape a loooong time ago (still have it on tape as a matter of fact), but the fact that the only thing I use my walkman (yea, I still have one) for was to listen to that cassette kind of didn’t sit well with my comfort requirements… |
Wow. Good choices. All of them. Sometimes it's like I don't know who you are. That's probably just because I have no idea who you are, though. Go figure.
|
Any outkast fans here.
I also like: Red hot chili pepres, Eskimoe joe, black eyed peas and greenday. |
Ugh. I hate Green Day. Don't kill me though, I don't deserve it.
|
You and me both. I despise punk music in general.
|
Green Day is like sissy punk, really, and pure shyeeite. Red Hot Chilli Peppers is good though.
I'm also likin Beck, and Blur, David Bowie, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine. I like some different kinds of music, I just the like the certain sounds of some bands. |
I only liked Bowie's earlier albums, like the first three or so, before his voice started sounding like an echo in a drain pipe. I think that started in the 80s somewhere. Anyway.
|
Are you kidding? Low and Heroes are two of his best albums.
Explosions in the Sky anyone? They're good, but just a little too wanky for me. |
I always thought Outside was one of his best albums.
|
Since this is also on the topic of music, I was just wondering if anyone has a last.fm account? If not, it's a website that logs the music you listen to and shows it on your last.fm profile page.
For example, here's my most recent tracks: http://imagegen.last.fm/basicrt10/re...sswanderer.gif And the good thing is that will now update when I listen to something new :) It also keeps track of your top artists weekly and overall and also your top tracks overall. If you decide to get an account or you already have one, just send me a friend request. I needs me some more friends. |
I do indeed.

I might as well post all my charts too.

Haven't heard anything by "Flaming Lips" though the names sounds familiar. I only have Modest Mouses' "Good New For People Who Love Bad News" Which I liked alot.
Anybody listen to Punk Music, and I am not talking Green Day...to hell with them, I mean real stuff like Descendents, The Distillers, Leftover Crack, etc, etc. Ska Music? Emo Music? Screamo Music? Those are my favorite types. |
Nay. Punk is dead. And all the derivitives of punk are the exact opposite of what punk was meant to be. I merely listen to music. I refuse to listen to bands who try to be a certain thing.
|
I am not trying to be any certain type of anything if that is what you are implying. I was merely stating the genre of music so people knew what I was talking about, now on I guess I'll name band names. Also, I listen to decently older punk bands as well, I am not sure how old your talking but still.
|
nah, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the bands. Any band that fits neatly into a little genre gets to die a horrible slow death. Except, that's not true because since the music buying populous WANTS their music packaged in an easily identifiable format they will make lots of money and succeed. And then people will tell me "obviously you don't know what you're talking about. Look at how much money they made. They must be good". And then I will have to murder said people for disappointing my standard of intelligence.

I've been starting to like bands like Hoobastank, Porcupine Tree, Lifehouse and Cold, lately.
Especially Porcupine Tree has some good songs. |
Klaxons are too popular now, I can't liek them and stay Indie :P
Just joking, amazing band with an amazing album. Been into Interpol recently, any others? |
