Funny you should post that Scooty. Been listening to Pelican alot recently, the album that song is from is pretty good. Pelican had been on my radar before it came out but i very much enjoy the really dirty bass guitar.
Strangely though the Song 'Ataraxia' from one of their EPs is probably my favourite song from the band, incredibly evocative.

I love every release from Pelican because they each have their own tone and mood. Their earlier stuff is way more drawn out but also bone-crushingly heavy; the song "Drought" from Australasia is one that I really enjoy and has been one of my favorite since they released it. I like the stuff from The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw and City of Echoes because it's a little spacy but still heavy, but more complex. Their stuff from their last two albums is awesome too; What We All Come to Need is more focused and the songs are shorter (boo!) but some of those songs are just so... heavy. Their new album is impressive and as a matter of fact, I'm listening to it right now at work.
Cut loose Agents of Shield and make a damn Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog sequel already! Nathan Fillion's been camped outside Josh Whedon's house for the past year pressuring him for the return of Captain Hammer.
Ok, so the guy's dancing is fairly outlandish, but I find his performance impossibly compelling. He's so intense. He performs the gak out of that song, as if his life depends on it. Maybe it does.
Love them or hate them, I predict that you won't able to ignore Future Islands in months and years to come. The man's a star. Great song too, very emotive.
Rewatched This is England recently. For some reason I kind of think its soundtrack would fit in with a post apocalyptic Britain quite well, or maybe the 80's were just that crap. =P
Right now I'm listening to my phone because youtube is blocked at work... But my playlist is: In Extremo, Rammstein, Eisbrecher, Megahertz, Rob Zombie, Seven Dust, Korn, ACDC, Def Leopard and Rolling Stones just to name a few of my weird collection on music.
Gets a few looks when you go from Rammstein Buck Dich to Rolling Stones Beast of Burden.

Only appreciating this song now. I think the front mans dance moves were a move of marketing genius. Loving the sound.
At my work they've added the Rick-Roll song to the rotation. I'd forgotten that it's actually a Legitimately decent song. It has now shot up the rankings in best songs on the playlist. Here's my Top five:
Top 5 songs conducive to a pleasing Retail experience:
1. Blur, Coffee and TV
2. Michael Jackson: Rock with You.
3. Ultra Vox: Vienna
4. Rick Astley: Never Gonna give you up.
5. Take That: Want you back for Good.
My old number 2 was Enrique Englesias' underrated classic 'Escape' but they got rid of it.
I don't really stand on their "politics" or "religion" but think the song is pretty dang cool.
I think you're problem is you're seeing those things about Ghost as something more than a gimmick.
I had heard that they themselves claim to be Satanists, however googe/wikipedia hasnt turned up much beyond their "in character" interviews. But for me, it's along the same lines as Behemoth. I usually enjoy the heaviness of the sound, but don't agree with the overt message of the lyrics. If that makes sense.
This seems to be an under appreciated track on the album, but personally I think its miles better than the title track Relektor (though maybe that's just because I have a thing for the independent movies which the band assigns themselves to).
That's surprisingly good. It goes a but wrong when you listen to more of their songs though.
This was the song for the first dance at my wedding (and was involved in the most romantic thing that my wife has ever experienced, or so she says ).
I completely forgot that this song existed until I heard it on the radio a few days ago. I first heard it right at the end of a party years ago where it was played on a loop for at least an hour, its that good.
Back to listening to the This is England soundtrack when driving back from wargaming. I still say it would make a good soundtrack for a zombie apocalypse game.
I liked her first album, but was totally oblivious that she'd just released a second. Its not quite so good (meh it'll grow on me probably), but I liked this track.
Eugh, I've listened to this album way too many times. Given that each song has an average length of something like six minutes and there's a bunch of them, I don't know if that's a good thing. ...Or rather release another album mam so this silliness can end.
Hmn, I probably should see if she has any gigs on right now given she's based out of Glasgow for the moment...
*edit
And just after posting this I find out she's working on a new album.
I need to buy a new MP3 player. Sitting for forty minutes on a train everyday with pretentious prat music students is the sort of environment which needs something to drown it all out with. =P
That said most of train music is provided by Awaz FM. Shame I can't remember the names of any of the bhangra artists which that station pumps out between adverts for chilli and halal chicken. ...Perhaps its for the best that my Urdu is pretty limited.
I'm catching up on The Walking Dead ever since not watching it since the end of the first season. The songs that they include tend to be actually pretty good.
I mean it's not a revelation in terms of electronic music but it's nice to have a Calvin Harris track without some insipid lyrics. Top notch I say. Particularly looking forward to the remixes.
Not sure if I'd posted this before but it's one of my favourite songs. It's just so... poetic?
A 90's dance tune the internet is seemingly unaware of, on a mix tape I have that may well be by Graeme Park - banged out like a gospel number but the first verse is
"So what's your occupation said the sinner to the priest,
If you join my congregation there are people we can fleece.
There is money for the taking, there is providence in crime,
If you wear the holy mantle you'll have power so divine"
Then it goes mad heavy techno for a bit. 7 pages of youtube reveal nothing to me.
A song which I remember hearing on the radio once, but never being able to find. Random Youtube links somehow turned it up again and well, the grin on my face is genuine.
Well, not actually right now since I'm in class, but I've been listening to Blind Guardian, a power metal band. Listening to the single (Twilight of the Gods) they released from their newest album (Beyond the Red Mirror), and looking forward to its full U.S. release date.
I'm looking forward to their world tour, but so far they haven't announced any U.S. tour dates. Hopefully there's Atlanta or Charlotte, which are near where I live, or a day in Philadelphia so I have an excuse to visit my friends and see my first concert at the same time.
Tangentially related to the much loved late Christopher Lee, though don't tell him that, he's just glad nobody everyone was mentioning his part in the Lord of the Rings in the news reports.
Damn I'd love to see a biopic of his life. ...Or for the British government to at least release all their files on him at some point.
I've recently been back on a "listen to music that came out or was about a decade or so old when i was in high school" kick... so a lot of 80's / 90's metallica, some ACDC, and some Sabbath. Mix in a little Bad Religion, Black Flag, True Sounds of Liberty, and some Social D, and that's what i've been enjoying the most lately.
Exalt to Captain Jake for posting some newer Social D. That whole album is really, really good. I try to see Mike Ness / Social D everytime they come to new england.
I've been itchin' to make a descendents / dead kennedys / circle jerks / bad religion cut up mix. That might be next.
Life Is Strange. I just love the soundtrack of this game, the licensed tracks and especially the main theme. Its something peaceful to listen to while I paint.
