I loved the drumming and the rapping was excellent, exactly the kind I (think) I like. What type of hip-hop would this be classified as?
8/10

'San FranCisco' by Alkaline Trio

Great video but mmmm about the song 6/10.

YouTube - Tiamat - Kaleidoscope, Do You Dream Of Me, Planets

Talking of things Swedish Taimat were a death metal band, before making quite a dramatic change in their style of music. The above is actually three songs from the classic "Wildhoney" album after they made the transition in their style.

Will it be another bore fest from me or another absorbing listen

You've never heard of Steely Dan? John Zorn? Tim Buckley?

Haha, so it was you who posted that bore fest of Aerosmith. No bore fest this time. Very good song, melancholic, ambient and although it moves slowly and takes its time, it is somehow engaging throughout. To me that's a big accomplishment. 9/10

Nico - Tananore

Wow...weird. I was just talking about Nico to someone yesterday, but we had never heard her solo stuff or her stuff with the Faction and we randomly picked that song to put on. Talk about a coincidence. I find her solo stuff to be really boring, and to be completely honest I don't even really like her stuff with the Velvet Underground. She has a horrible voice. 5/10.

Now here is an entertaining song:

Not really the sort of thing I would ever listen to, but an interesting video 6/10

YouTube - Summer's End

From Sweden to Finland. The closing track from the classic "Tuonela" album by Amorphis.

I guess I HAVE heard of Steely Dan if you want to get all technical, but I don't really know anything about him. Tim Buckley: is that the DMB guitarist guy?
