i really need to get into neil young, what album should i start with? idk what it is about his voice, its unique i just really like it, easy 9/10

Andrew Bird - Anonanimal

I really like Andrew Bird, that album and that song. I think his lyrics are incredibly smart and clever and the instrumentals are lush and great as usual 9/10

I've heard of this band but had never listened to them. That was enjoyable, as I was looking at other stuff online and listening, somewhat passively as I was distracted, I could easily imagine it being part of my collection and having come up on shuffle. That says something. I'm going to add the album to my "check it out" list. 7/10.

The Black Heart Procession - "Square Heart"

Sorry to say, it's not really something I would listen to. It's a bit to dull for my taste. It's by no means a bad song though, I found my self playing air drums, always a good sign.
6/10

Yeah The Black Heart Procession is not for everyone, I find their sound a bit dull most of the time too - or maybe dull is not the right word, but depressing. That was one of my favorite songs by them though.

I really like that Morning Benders song, great album that I've enjoyed quite a bit over the past year. 8/10

Squarepusher - "Iambic 5 Poetry"


(it really comes alive after 2:00)

10/10....that was freaking great....i actually loved the first couple of minutes....what an incredible song....i will have to look into them

Satisfact - Demonstration

7/10
It seems like a mixture of Franz Ferinand and the Clash. Which sounds like a good Combination, but in the end the song itself isn't too interesting for me. Could be very well that other songs of this band work for me. I'll have to check that out :)

P.s.: PEZ!

I'd say Harvest and After the Goldrush.
And you might want to try Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Déja Vu" as well.


Oldschool Ska from Japan.
It has to be your thing. Wonder what the next person thinks :)

I'm surprised you didn't know Squarepusher already! Glad you like the song, it really is amazing.

I'm digging the Satisfact song, I'd never heard of them before. I see they share some members with bands I do know and enjoy on occasion: Lync, Love As Laughter, FCS North and Modest Mouse. I shall investigate further. 7/10

At first I thought it was a misspelling of Hot Snakes. :D But definitely not. Playing it now. I'm not the biggest fan of ska but like the occasional song - I just never got into it to the point of buying anything, except The Specials. This is not bad at all, but wouldn't persuade me to investigate further. 6/10.

I just posted this in the video thread, but whatever. This is "It Won't Be Long" by Super_Collider, a collaboration between Jamie Lidell and Chilean techno dude Cristian Vogel. Best enjoyed on good headphones or a good soundsystem. :hphones: Stock iPod headphones? Don't bother.

Liked that more than I thought I would. Liked the funk guitars. 7/10
Edit: dam it too slow

Doh I'm too slow too! Shyte...editing my post above.

Glad I'm not the only one messing up this topic now and then ;D.

i highly suggest the album "The Unwanted Sounds Of"....if you need pm and i'll send you a copy....this album is pure plutonium....

9/10....the beats were hypnotizing....the bass is just unique i can't put my finger on it....almost kind of Mike Patton inspired vocals....and the video was indeed incredible

and now or something completely different.......

OFF! - Darkness....Keith Morris can do no wrong

8/10
Never heard of this band but I really liked this song, after checking RYM I can see that they are relatively new. Great to see more up and coming Punk bands that don't suck. Once I get my internet working I shall be searching for a release by these guys.

^^That's some good old rock 'n' roll, nothing more and nothing less, and I love it just like that 9/10

Trans Am - 'Play in the Summer'

Not a big fan of his vocals. I like the music overall, just nothing special about the singer, it did get a bit boring though. 7/10

10/10...doesn't that guy run Gringott's Wizarding band?....the song was excellent....a nice mixture of dance/electronics and even a kind of 80s/New Order-esque guitar thing going on....the video was great

very interesting stuff. reminds me alittle of some symphonic metal bands, except this focuses alot more on the symphonic side of things 9/10

Jazz Pistols " Vix 9 "

^ Really not my cup of tea to be honest. Too much emphasis on trying to sound gloomy and sounded pretentious as a result. 4/10

^looks like we went at the same time

8/10..always down for some classic old school soul funk. two thumbs up

again:
Jazz Pistols " Vix 9 "

Wow is all I have to say. Very talent musicians there, very fast, very good.
9/10

8.5/10 Proggy goodness Hocus Pocus is an amazing song, sick riff.

Kool Keith's most awesome alter-ego in my opinion, great stuff. 8/10

I've been on a hip-hop kick for a few weeks now (squeezing in some rock and electronic where I can), with Madlib and MF Doom getting a lot of attention. I still haven't heard this Quas album, but it's a good track. Not outstanding, but good. 7/10

Man Man - "Engwish Bwudd"

That song is incredibly awesome, and Man Man are incredible live, I love the playfulness of this song and the gypsyness of it, it makes me so happy. Great band, song and album. 9/10

Not a bad little song. nothing particularly standout except the odd percussion. Wasn't much for the voice, though. Pretty, true, but not necessarily standout. Albeit, the usage of violin, albeit minimal, was interesting.

6.5/10

Meh, not a big fan of that. I'm a hge fan of bands like Soft Machine and Caravan but that song was just bland, repetitive and uninteresting. 4/10


If you don't like this, get out! You have problems!

Well, I liked it! But I didn't love it :p: Definitely something I can listen to but I'd have to be in the mood for it. Pretty upbeat and chill all in all. 7/10

Can't say I enjoyed that.
I thought the intro was too long and a bit dull.
Not to brilliantly played either.
I could say that the style of this song is interesting, but I wouldn't know a reason why you want to make it sound like this...
Had to force myself to finish listening the song so I could score it decently.

Score:
3/10.
Sorry ;)

Feels a bit mean to be so negative. So I hope you won't like what I'll be posting next :D

And now for something completely different:

Eh not really my thing, kind of got annoying after 2 minutes, especially when the mouth thing came in...3/10

Meh noise rock isn't really my thing the vocals are kind of annoying to. However, it's not all bad there is some melody in the chaos which keeps it from falling apart 6/10.

Omg, I almost couldn't even make it through that. I'm sorry, I didn't like that at all and not just because it was rap (though that didn't help). 1/10.

i listen to a buncha different types of metal, but this doesn't really do it for me. it tries to be technical and all in your face, but ends up just being a bit obnoxious and hella monotonous. 5/10 for the bridge

and rap definitely has its moments

Digable Planets - Where I'm From

such a chill album

I liked it, nice song. Good flow. I have Blowout Comb but this song isn't on there so I need to get more by them.

^That's pretty good, I like the overall positive feel. I haven't listened to Uncle Tupelo much for some reason, but I think it's time to start now. What album is this song from?

Mercury Rev - Chasing a Bee

^^^
I really liked it. Very 90's and out there, but it sounds great.
8/10

No Depression.

really didn't like it that much his voice irks me in the bad way 4/10

this voice irks me in the good way (don't make this creepy)

I love that song, but I can't decide if I like the original or Owen Pallett's cover version better, either way it was still wonderful 8/10

Umm, the video was quite entertaining...

But really, the guy is good singer, but I didn't really find anything I could tap my foot to, or in that case, nothing at all. It's pretty boring. It really isn't for everyone. 2/10

I've never heard of this group, but it's definitely something I could get into when I'm in the mood for something a bit slower 7/10 :)



Ignore the zombie crowd.
