I love music and I'm pretty sure alot of you do, too. I mostly listen to Indie rock stuff, but am always open to new music. I'm listening to alot of Bright eyes and Wilco lately, you?

Funeral for a Friend - "Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation"

Amazing band, very clever style and UK to boot :D

robby

I've been hearing about that band alot lately, probably time I check em out.

madmat

I've been playing Kings X "Faith Hope Love" in my car quite a bit lately...They've got a nice chunky sound and the harmonies between the voices are pretty good.

Shorty

Most definitely! They are awesome.

Also check out my mates band who are getting a bit popular ;)

Muse... they have a new album out called "Absolution".. it's another top CD :cool:

Now thats classic stuff ;)

Wow, reminds me of my youth :rockon: them touring with Galactic Cowboys.. remember them?!

Listening to "the getaway plan" by Funeral for a friend now, sounds good, the music reminds me of BoySetsFire, the vocals are syruppy metal melody. Good stuff.

madmat

I'm on their site now listening to the teaser track, it sounds pretty good but the MP3 quality is pretty low...it'd be nice if they let you choose the bitrate to suit your connection speed.
One of these day's I'm going to get AudioSlave's album, I like what I've heard of it but then I was always a fam of Soundgarden and they deffinitly carry on with that "huge" sound.

The audioslave album is great :)

In a way it's quite Rage style.. but Chris Cornell takes it to a different place. Well worth grabbing for the car :cool: top driving music!

Never heard of them :o but will look them up when Im back @ home later on :)

What kind of style and genre (for lack of a better word) ?

madmat

I've never heard Galactic Cowboys, I tend to listen to pretty hardcore types of music.
I'm a big fan of speed metal but I do like some odd stuff as well; Primus, TheBLOODHOUNDGANG, Scatterbrain, Trans Siberian Orchestra are all a few examples.
I am also a big fan of classical music performed by heavy metal bands.

Kinda the hardcore with melodic vocals that ffaf has. If you like funeral for a friend, I think you will dig thrice.

No offense, man, but I can't stand that song. Most of the eagle's other stuff is good, but THAT one.............
ugh

P.S. I noticed your "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" during my Novell class last monday and laughed loudly. My Instructor came over to see what I was laughing at and chuckled a bit himself.

I saw Primus in concert back when Oakland was burning and they rocked the house.
I had an opportunity to go party with them after the show (the guy I went to the concert with worked with Les back in his humble beginings days) but when we got back to our ride we found it had been broken into and my friends $250 leather jacket had been stolen as was the leather jacket of his g/f at that time so they got pissed and decided to just go home. I really would have enjoyed partying with them...they (Primus) went to the concert in a old station wagon, crazy guys

I was cool with Les until I heard that bs he did on a LimpBiz**** record. Fred Durst, along with anyone who is willing to work with him is off the artistic roll call.

madmat

Les is god as far as a bass is concerned, he can't be blamed because someone realizes what a virtuoso he is and takes advantage of it, heck, for the right amount of money I'd fart on a snare drum for Limp Bizkitt.

Strangely for me, who favours fairly heavy guitars, I've been listening to Joni Mitchell a lot lately. Heard a track on CBC radio that I couldn't get out of my head so went and picked up her greatest hits. The track is on there, called Carey - amazing vocals and a truly incredible bass track from Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fame). Other highlights are pretty much the big sellers - Big Yellow Taxi, Raised on Robbery, Help Me, Free Man In Paris, Come in From The Cold. My personal fave tho is You Turn Me On I'm A Radio - a scathing metaphorical look at relationships.

Also picked up the Joni CD Hejira, based on my bro's recommendation. It's partially jazz fusion and the whole album is covered with chorus (not the musical ensemble, the guitar effect), a little too slick for me. But it has the late great Jaco Pastorius on bass on most tracks, which alone is worth the price of the CD.

Audioslave - to anyone who likes them, you HAVE to get Soundgarden's SuperUnknown. Incredible CD, Cornell is in top form, rocks out more than Audioslave, every song is very listenable (though there are a couple of "experimental" tracks, I still really like them). Cornell is still a great singer but has lost some range since Superunknown fo sure, check it out.

Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter
the stuff from this guy is soooooo mellow, it calms me down. i think i remember reading he's from ireland or somewhere, i swear you brits are closer to all the good music (like muse... omg omg omg)
