Now how'd that one get on my playlist? 0.o

Oh, and thumbs on the Patti Smith. Smexy lady. =)

This.
I love non-vocal music.

Just found these guys out, and plan on listening to their entire discography next.

One critic said that they sounded like DJ Shadow-meets-Ennio Marricone. And they were so beautifully right.




(you can find their first two albums for pay-what-you-want here: http://thenewlaw.bandcamp.com/, as well as their newest album for a modest price)

That's pretty good, sounds like electronified black metal.

I'm really into classical music at the moment....

A gothic metal band from Germany. Just listened to them, it was a similar video to Uis Elveti according to youtube. It's great!

I'm listening to staygold's wallpaper.

Awesome band that I'm digging at the moment:

Have to say, Cheesecat's taste is really starting to impress me.


They grow up so fast! *sniff*

Just found this guy out. Amazing music, not sure who to possibly compare him to. Kind of like Clint Mansell, I guess. But not really... Just listen to him, okay?

Thanks, I think it's a lot easier be knowledgeable about good music in general now that Wikipedia, YouTube, online reviews and the internet exist, I mean that's how I find out most of my stuff. But it also makes me a bit snobby in comparison to my friends who are more casual about

music and often feel uncomfortable about some of the stuff I listen to (like the Stooges, Velvet Underground, etc, then again those are bands aren't very easy to listen to in the first place) so I usually play something more safe (the Beatles, David Bowie, etc, which are great as well but for

different reasons) or just don't play anything at all at the risk of annoying one of my mates. I prefer listening to full albums at a time rather than individual songs because I like how the songs play off or relate to each other in the album. I have listened to a lot of your musical

recommendations as well and they tend to be pretty good but I suppose that isn't too surprising considering you're a musicologist.

Cheesecat, you just keep getting better and better.

Funnily enough, I used to not really care that much for Velvet Underground and Joy Division but as I started listening to the Stooges and Ramones (they pretty much changed my perception of music altogether) I started to see that you can create bold, subtle, unique, interesting and genuinely

intelligent artistic statements without having to have a whole a lot of musicianship or by playing in a minimalistic style (not to say I don't like more technically demanding bands I am a fan of prog rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, etc after all).

If you like Joy Division/VU, you may enjoy this, Cheesecat:


They're criminally overlooked, IMO.

Damn, that sounds really good. Might have to check them out.

Also, waking up and walking to class to this album:




Wish it was a longer walk.

Thanks, great find btw defiantly see what you mean by the similarities to Joy Division/VU it's nice to listen to something more recent for a change as well as most of the music I listen to is from the 60's and 70's (not to say other decades don't have good stuff it's just that's what I often keep

coming back to when it comes to music).

Yeah, Interpol are a top band. That whole album is great. They have other stuff but they never bettered 'Turn on the Bright Lights'. It's a lost classic, IMO.

There's a band from the UK called The Horrors you may also like, incidentally.



Skying is pretty great.

Only the French can do this.

A really interesting cover version:

Favorite part starts at 2:17

It's been a slow day at the orrifice so here's what I have listened to so far.

Jefferson Aeroplane - White Rabbit: The Bassline on this always gets my mind racing and it all just fits so well together.



The Moody Blues - Knights in White Satin: Beautiful and haunting song, absolutely love the chorus and makes my shiver when it's cranked up to the max.



Bjork - Army of Me: I watched Suckerpunch the other day and it had an awesome soundtrack and an I think, different version of this on it. But this version is one of my all time favs, it says I will f*** you up if you cross me.



Joy Division - Love will Tear us Apart: This is my essential pub song and always goes on when I hit the jukebox, it's also my first port of call when I get on the youtube. Makes me happy.



In my car on my mix CD I have that I am listening too

Air - All I need
De'lacy - Hideaway (my favorite song of all time I think)
Lovestation - Teardrops
Nelly - Ride with me
Les Rythmes Digitales - Hey You What's That Sound
Tweet - Oops oh my
Arcade Fire - Wake up
Linkin Park - Points of Authority
Crowbar - Existence is Punishment
Urban Cookie Collective - The Key The Secret (I can't stand this anymore)
Nine Inch Nails - We're in this together
St Etienne - Only love can break you heart
JC Chasez - Blowin' me up (with her love)
KLF - 3am Eternal
Kelis - Trick ME
Kelis with Andre 3000 - Millionaire

My taste is quite eclectic

It's aged quite well, I think.
