"Man Of Two Minds" by The Trews (live on MTV Live).

Have been trying to decide if I want to buy their album. I still don't know.

[von Teelio]

Been getting into The Mad Capsule Market's lately. If you like a twist of funk and experimental rock, you should definitely check 'em out.

[saldite]

Blink-182 and Gorillaz...

[Mikero]

You're half right.

[ASR]

Back into a Fort Minor kick.

Also, that Hornet Man arrange album preview on the Inti Creates site is really funky and kickin'.

[Mikero]

Do Fort Minor still make tracks? I only ever listened to that one..

[ASR]

The Rising Tied is their only album.

I have no idea if they have anything else planned.

But that album is ace and I keep coming back to it. Every single track on it is great.

[Mikero]

I liked that one... But I never had the urge to get any others.

[ASR]

Which track?

If you haven't heard the rest of the album, I definitely reccomend it. I have a feeling you'd like it.

[Mikero]

"Remember The Name" ? I think that's what it's called. It has my name in it :-) [/lame]

[ASR]

Mike, he doesn't need his name up in lights, he just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic. He feels so unlike everybody else, alone, in spite of the fact that some people still think that they know 'im.

BUT ##### 'EM

HE KNOWS THE CODE

Yeah. Mike Shinoda. The main members of their group all get one or two verses for themselves that they narrate in third person.

But check out High Road, Right Now, Red to Black... and well, the whole album. Just trust me.

[Mikero]

Yeah I know who the members are! I memorized the song too, jerkface!
But yeah I'll check those out... LATER.

[ASR]

LATER DAZE.

So.

Somebody in one of my classes told me about this rapper called Mega Ran, or Random, really.

Apparently he made a whole rap album based on MegaMan tracks. I just downloaded it and am listening to it.

It's actually...

...pretty good. I mean, I enjoy it.

I was sort of expecting some #####ty remixes and low quality tracks.

Reccomended to you guys to at least give it a listen.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, he was around Atomic-Fire a year ago I believe. They're pretty good.

[Speed Racer]

I was in Staples the other day buying some pens for work, when I noticed that they have a $7.99 CD/DVD bin. I've bought Duran Duran "Rio" and Michael Jackson "Off the Wall", and I might go back tonight for Blondie "Parallel Lines".

I'm digging this early Jackson stuff. "Working Day and Night" is a really tight song.

[Mikero]

And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy...

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with this.
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the taste.
My heart's crippled by the mouth that I keep on closing...

You call me over and Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Keep eatin', I keep-keep eating fudge!
I keep eatin', I keep-keep eating fudge!

[Abominator]

Speed, there's a thing called an "Ebay" for buying ancient CDs for a lot less than that.

(Amazon Marketplace, too.)

[von Teelio]

J-Live is pretty rad. This song is a favorite. Not so much the beats, but the lyrics are what gets me.

Couldn't upload the actual mp3, so that's as close as I can get.

Yes, it's from T.H.U.G.

[Speed Racer]

Speed, there's a thing called an "Ebay" for buying ancient CDs for a lot less than that.

Yeah, I know it's there, but I really only use eBay for video games and odd CD titles that I look for on a whim. Besides, by the time all is said and done, $7.99 is what I would have paid for the item and shipping and handling.

[preventerWIND]

So has anyone got the new AC DC album, Black Ice? It's pretty good, War Machine's the best track IMO.

Listening to Hellnight by the Misfits right now.

[Mikero]

I've been wanting to hear it but haven't gotten the chance. I don't entirely care right now because I don't think I won any of the SEVEN draws I entered to get tickets to see them on the CHANCE they'd come to Ottawa (they hadn't announced the second leg of the tour yet but the local Classic Rock station was doing draws for tickets because they were confident that ACDC would announce a show here. I'm not sure if they did or not.)

On a different radio station today, Kiss FM (which boasts that it's "Today's best music" and is probably targeted at anyone between teens to forties AKA Parents trying to stay youngesque), I was sad to hear;

"Today's best music is... The B-52's."

And then they played Love Shack.

[Johncarllos]

looooooooooooooool

[ASR]

I have a frienemy (I love Mike's lingo, get over it) who keeps telling me how great Black Ice is.

As annoying as that's getting, I do really want to listen to it. And I can, I just haven't had the time.

[preventerWIND]

I don't buy the CD's, I just use the alternative method if I want to hear something that bad : |

DANNY ELFMAN - WALTZ OF DEATH

FOR TWO HOURS STRAIGHT

<3

la la laaa la
la laa la laa la

[Mikero]

DZX9 got "These Eyes" by The Guess Who stuck in my head.

I have a frienemy (I love Mike's lingo, get over it)

Nice, nice.

[ASR]

Mingo.

[preventerWIND]

I could go for a mango right about now..

[AlexThePenguin]

After a few years of listening to the Postal Service, I finally branched out into Death Cab for Cutie and Rilo Kiley.

I'm really enjoying indie music again. It's awesome.

[von Teelio]

Indie makes me nauseous.

Currently going through some of the more recent albums from KMFDM.

[Mikero]

Is Death Cab really considered Indie anymore?

I hate the idea that not being on a major label or whatever gets you classified in a whole other genre, as if that makes any sense. And it makes the scope of what can be considered "Indie" too big to make any claim on whether you like it or not. Even if you're talking about something more specific like "Indie rock" or "Indie pop".

[Chron]

Pyroxene ~ Motoi Sakuraba (Star Ocean 2)

I never have been sure what it is about this BGM, but I love it.
Almost 100% of the OST for Star Ocean 2 is wonderful. It's not hard to believe this is the same composer who made Golden Sun not only tolerable but a fun experience (for me).

[Fatso]

Anyone who can make an RPG a fun experience for me deserves a medal.

Mikero: I loathe the term 'classic rock' for exactly the same reason. I guess more specifically I don't mind the term itself but it being considered a genre sets my teeth on edge.

Anyways, Meat Loaf - For Crying Out Loud

Beautiful song, definitely recommended for anyone who likes their music soft.

Even if you're talking about something more specific like "Indie rock" or "Indie pop".

I don't know if Death Cab is technically independent, but I classify "indie" based on sound type and origins, rather than record labels. Much of the indie pop and indie rock scenes, at least the ones that I've heard that actually classified themselves as "Indie," do tend to share a sound in common, even with each other.


"Hipster" might be a better terminology for the specifics of what I've been listening to, I guess. Kind of.

Hm. Coffeehouse music?

[Yubi Shines]

Currently rocking out to: Songs in the Sims 2 expansions.

Katy Perry's Hot n Cold and Go Betty Go's Very Very Rich Town and The Humble Brothers' 360.

[Chron]

Those are crazy.
I love nonsense lyrics.


OH
AND I LOVE ONE MORE THING
LET'S GO GEKIGANGER 3

Yeah I figured you meant the sound, which-like anything- I have a hard time classifying as "Indie". My response on that part was more towards the combination of your and TLO's posts.

Anyhoo, anyone would be smart to listen to the Boys Noize mix of "My Moon My Man" by Feist, which is the last track on Boys Noize's album OiOiOi. That is, if you like Feist in the first place. Which I do and can't imagine why anyone wouldn't.

Anyway the Boys Noize mix is ridiculously good. Which makes sense since he's awesome and she's awesome and it's great.

Oh also, Feist is a hilarious and quirky person live, and I loved that.

...

Feist - "My Moon My Man (Boys Noize mix)"

[Abominator]

New KottonMouth Kings CD is really good, if you like them.

Same old stuff, just a particularly good one.

[von Teelio]

Kottonmouth Kings are pretty rad. I only have their Koast II Koast CD, and I love it.

[Abominator]

Like I say, they're not goin in any radical new direction, just doin their thing!

[preventerWIND]

I'm listening to some Bad Brains now, I decided to add to my punktionary, and this guys are excellent.

[Yubi Shines]

Listening to Tom Waits' Black Wings.

Not sure what I think about it. It's growing on me, and the lyrics sure are cool, and yet. And still.

Maybe I should stick to Leonard Cohen...

[Johncarllos]

Been listening to a lot of Red Hot Chili Pepper lately.
My room mate has a few of their albums.

[ASR]

Never got into them and I still can't. There was this group of kids in high school who were downright obsessed with them and it drove me crazy.

[Johncarllos]

I'm not obsessed, but they have quite a few catchy tunes and I see why people like them.

Most of their songs are pretty mellow and relaxing, and I'm liking that type of stuff right now.

[Mikero]

GZA - "Fame"

I think the GZA is my favourite Wu-Tang Clan member.

[preventerWIND]

I'm not obsessed, but they have quite a few catchy tunes and I see why people like them.

My school's guitar club did Can't Stop at a pep rally a month ago. They butchered it, I really wish they did stop.

[Mikero]

Technoir - "Dying Star"

[Fatso]

Joe Walsh - "Life's Been Good"

Such a delightfully silly song.

[Yubi Shines]

Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass

And I know that you're busy too
I know that you care
You got your finger on the pulse
You got your eyes everywhere
And it hurts all the time when you don't return my calls
And you haven't got the time to remember how it was
