The brilliant Foxy Shazam....



And the equally brilliant The Darkness.....Stick with the video, the intro is a little long!



Aaaaaannd.......NSFW

A beautiful song made even more beautiful by Daisuke's amazing interpretation.
An absolutely amazing album, one of those real 'solitude' albums. Easily one of the best albums of 2011.

Additionally, Kashiwa Daisuke's 2012 album, Re: is easily my top pick for best album of 2012. If you like good music, you absolutely have to listen to everything he's made.

Henry VIII's compositions. He was actually pretty good.

Amazon sent the new Bad Religion disc the other day. Darned good album (as you woudl expect from Bad Religion).:

Im not a usual fan of rap lyrics. But i love this song.
Sometimes I think my generation needs a gooood hard kick in the teeth.
Caution. NSFW language.

Black Metal with a Brass Section

Can't embed from Vimeo, so here's the URL. It's REM's 'Losing My Religion' melodyned from a minor to major tonality. It's weird but it works.

You always knew Ryan Gosling was a great actor, but did you know he's also got a kickass band too?




Also, holy gak, buy this album:



This is part nine, but part 10 (not on youtube, sadly) is mind blowing.
You can listen to/buy the full album here:

Heard most of this individually before but last night was the first time I looked for the album, as soon as it finished I had to play it again.

Just finished my first Listen-through of Cult of Luna's New album 'Vertikal'.

Amazing! Really chuffed with the sound they've achieved in this album, doesn't really have the crushing heaviness or intricate multi-layered guitars of Eternal Kingdom/Somewhere along the highway but it's songs overall are far more coherent and easy to listen to. If not quite reaching the heights of some of the breathtaking strecthes in some of their previous tracks.

Just like the band Meshuggah You've gotta listen with the Volume Low! This isn't headbanger music to annoy your parents, it's thought provoking stuff. Higher volume makes the Growl Vocals far too prevalent when, just like meshuggah, they are only there to complement the guitar work and drums and occasionally add flavour with lyrics.

...bet you didn't see that one coming from me.

...I need to find an mp3 of this. =/

Great folk metal band!

I'm listening to Lexmark's hold music... Been on the phone for 30 minutes, and I'm getting paid to do this... AND I get to bill a client since it's not our printer

Taking a trip South tonight:




Great disc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-WM-x__BOk .. tried to do the actual youtube post but i had to use the url instead... IM loving this video right now both the actual music and the visual stopmotion effects

Please tell me someone else here knows Sigur Ros?
They're absolutely amazing... entrancing, dreamlike music, made even better by all their singing being in Icelandic, and therefore not understandable to me.




Simply beautiful... very calming, even if the music video isn't all that interesting.

You may find it interesting to note that not all of Sigur Ros' music is sung in Icelandic - it's sung in a combination of Icelandic and 'Hopelandic', a made-up language. I once saw them supporting Radiohead.

Whoops! I did know that, I don't know why I wrote that it's all in Icelandic, I was just meaning that they're Icelandic and all that.
It doesn't really matter either way to me, the only way I can tell the difference is that hopelandic is usually just 1 phrase over and over again...
Did you know () has only one line on the entire album, just pronounced slightly differently?

A Very powerful song from Spain

Probably the best non-second wave Norwegian Black metal band: Taake! First song on what one website reckons is the 2nd best Black Metal album (above Filosofem!)

Black Veil Brides. My friend made a post on FB making fun of them. So checked them out after approximately 8 PBRs and a couple glasses of wine and discovered they are in fact AWESOME.

This masterpiece.




Oh, this too!
