Yeah, he's a pretty good player, Claypool. One of the first bands I was really into. The whole band could play tight as hell, Lalonde is a great guitarist and Alexander could really show off and work well in odd time signatures. Not to take anything away from Brian Matia, who is a more working-class player and I think his style of play actually meshes better with Lalonde and Claypool. Its also interesting that the players were in radically different types of bands before joining Primus. Claypool played with Blind Illusion, a much heavier thrashesque jam band and Larry Lalonde played lead for Possessed, a black/proto death metal band. Another thing I like is how they are a power trio. I think having a band of over 5 people is really indulgent and not needed.

Well, does anyone like Third Eye Blind? I do believe they are sort of poppish, and not that great really, but they are absolutely wonderful for summer music. Mucho enjoyable.
Also, does anybody know the Violent Femmes? From the 80's? Blister in the Sun and such? Well, they're playing at a free concert in my city! I'm very excited, fun will be had by all.
Another current interest is State Radio, who I recently saw live. Camilo and Man in the Hall are excellent. Fun.
I've been listening to this really awesome punk/rockabilly band called the Bloody Hollies. They started locally; in fact, my Mom worked with guitarist, and he's a real funky fella. They're getting a lot of recognition now, which is awesome. Go Buffalo!
Searex, as a fellow punk listener, I implore that you in particluar check these guys out.
I was listening, against my will, to a popular current rap station on a car ride with my brother. We were going out to eat and my brother always calls "Shottie!" like he is 9 years old and subjects me to the most trite, oversexed, nursery rhymes over shitty played out beats I've ever listened to in my whole life. I listened to some Ultramagnetic MCs and X afterwards to cleanse my ears. How could something go from incredible to aural torture in such a short time span?
Edit:How does R. Kelly still have a career? Shouldn't Bubba be slamming it to him in a 12 by 9 right now? First O.J. and now this. Wasn't he indicted on felony counts of pissing on a minor and being a whack MC?

The greatest song (by me) is: led zeppelin - stairway to haven
Generaly, i do not like very m uch led zeppelin, but this song is long without repeting wich I respect.
Lance Bass loves man...posterior. Yeah, that's it, man posterior.
See the latest People magazine. Bass, formerly of Nsync, has crooned/choreographed/"jazz handed" himself out of the closet. Talk about a desperate attempt at reviving your sucking career. Or starting career.
Anyhow, as a follow-up to this, who is the best gay singer? Mercury and Halford spring immediately to mind. NOT LIKE THAT YOU SICKOS!!!

London Bridge isn't a song that should be heard, but rather watched with the mute on. Fergee ruined the Black Eyed Peas and I wish she'd die in a fire. She's Gwen Stefani all over again.

I'm a total sucker for banjo music. Yes, Mr. "I like Metal and Gangsta Rap" enjoys a good banjo player like Earl Scruggs. Always wanted to learn how to play one, never had the time or money.

Fergie didn't ruin the BEPs. I thought her vocals were a great asset to their music. Kind of added that classic feminine touch to it. I don't listen to the radio that much, but I heard she went single, and her songs suck.....
It didn't need a "feminine touch". It was fine as is. After she came along the songs went to hell. Two words: My Humps. Thats all that needs to be said.

I don't really know many gay singers, but if that's what it takes to sing like Mercury and Halford, I'd be up for it!
So I casually told my guitar teacher about ebow on my way out. I said 'I'll send you the links, it looks awesome'. He comes back with 'Yeah... had one for a while.'. :P
But $80 USD is quite the
