I'm kinda bummed out with music that has come out in the past few years. there seems to be no emotion or feeling in it. (BTW i am a musician some what)
yeah the "grunge" (i HATE that word) movement is dead... but i am longing for the pearl jam feeling of "alive" or "release".
i got into jewel for obvious reasons ;) and Dave matthews, but other than that i find that without an MP3 player in my car i listen to "Light FM" radio driving home from work :eek: or "classic rock".
now my music tastes go from big band to country to slayer to emo to techno to ambient to anything in between (except most R&B i hate). i'll even listen to jazz though i dont like bee-bop or fusion jazz.
my mp3's are getting stale (all 1500 of em) :(
anyone got something obscure but intelligent that i can try out?
Ps. .... i might not be the best "practicing" christian... but i WONT listen to system of a down or godsmack (not only doen their music suck but is morally corrupt)
any suggestions?
the same tape has been in my cassette player in my car for 4 months.... Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream... to give you an idea of my music taste
-
Nomad playlist:
The Beauty Shop - Yr Money Or Yr Life
Fugazi - 13 Songs
Car CD player:
Mojo Nixon - Gadzooks: The Homemade Bootleg
Thin White Rope - The One That Got Away (2 discs)
Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
Radiohead - Kid A
Car tape player:
Junior Brown - Semi Crazy
Winamp queue:
Parliament - Mothership Connection
-
is kid A and ok computer good?
i got pablo honey and the bends and like em both...
shoulda mentioned i got like 200 CD's i cant listen to in the car :(:( but tapeing some good ones lol
my winamp playlist has ALL of my mp3's in it and i "shuffle" them (MAN i wish i could do it in the car)
-
I like all the Radiohead stuff.
Get an MP3 player with a tape adapter. Nomad Zen or I-Pod or whatever. You can put all those CDs on the player and listen in your car.
-
Filter's always been a saving grace for me. They rock... pure and simple. And I don't get tired of'em.
The music in the Milwaukee area radio stations suck arse. 96.5 is always good, but I find they play the saaaaaame artists alllll the tiiiiime.
102.1 plays nothing but the *new, non-emotion ***** (ie, the thousands punk clones, and other new crap I just can't stand) They remind me of the KISS FM of rock... owned by corporate America. WLUM, 102.9 is decent, but I also see them going the route of 102.1.
Whenever I drive west to Madison, the automatic choice is 101.5 (forgot the call letters). A great mix of my favs with an ever-loving dose of classic rock.
Might I suggest not going for a specific genre, but start looking for specific groups. Skimming my collection... Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy, Boston, Kansas, Huey Lewis, Ozzy, good ol' Phil Collins, Cheap Trick, Filter, Rage, Rolling Stones, Scorpions, Styx, Supertramp, Yes, The Ramones, The Who, Tom Petty, U2, Warrant, Van Morrison, RUSH... just to name a few (er, a lot)
MP3.com also has a ton of artists just looking for attention...
however, MP3.com was a nice sight up until recently (maybe a few months?) They're asking for money and supposedly throw some hidden adware onto your HD.
As far as eletronica goes.. trance has my interest. Some good mixes can be found at http://www.mjduke.com . Some HUGE 80+ minute mixes can be found there. DJ mjDuke and DJ Tiesto are nice.
-
that, or if you don't want to spring for a MP3 player I'm positive you can get an adapter that goes into the casette player for your CD player.

I got fed up with the recent crap music too. It looks to be on an upturn though, I've just a few minutes ago finished putting in an order for this lot:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell
Delta Goodrem - Innocent Eyes (bit of speculation, heard one song live, though it was cool, chick with a piano and a bloke on an acoustic).
Hellacopters - High Visability (mad scandanavians with guitars)
Feeder - Echo Park (building up my back catalogue, Comfort in Sound is TOP, thouroghly recommend)
Evanescence - Fallen (bought as a present, but I'll probably listen to it 1st)
The Darkness - Permission to Land (pre order. Heard one song so far and it was nuts in a good way)
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Audioslave - Audioslave (RATM minus Zack with Chris Cornell fronting)
Blur - Think Tank
I hope to like at least 1/2 of them :)

I could run off a long list of music. However most you will never find. I have a very eclectic taste in music also.
Here is a tex mex band you may find great stuff. The Iguanas
Check ebay if you dont find it in the music store.
A religious band I think old stuff really good. Dreams so real.
They had 2 discs out I had to find them on ebay. I had one looked for the other for years before I saw it on ebay.
Here is a great band they had a few discs out best one is title disc. Treat Her Right. Hard to find again look on ebay.
If you like these I run off some others.

That's the system I just set up in my car. Got a 15Gig iPod, which snaps into a holder on my dash. Then bought a Belkin unit - it plugs into the cig lighter with one wire going into the iPod which powers it and gets the audio signal, and the other wire goes into the auxiary input on the car's CD player. If your car CD player doesn't have an aux input in the front, you can get an adapter and use the player's CD changer input which most players have.
The quality of going direct is ten times better than using a casette adapter.
I'm loving the system... some 4,000 songs so far, a couple of button pushes away... and it's a snap to add more songs and remove songs I aint listening to anymore, etc. When I leave the car I grab the iPod and the CD player faceplate and there's nothin' to steal.

Check out 'Clocks' from Coldplay, on the album 'A Rush of Blood To The Head', it's been stuck in my head for the last week.

Radiohead "The Bends" is one of those rare CD's where EVERY track on it is great. Listen to any one of the songs on that CD and you will become a fan, great stuff. Tracks 12, 4 and 10 are my favs
1. Planet Telex
2. Bends
3. High & Dry
4. Fake Plastic Trees
5. Bones
6. Nice Dream
7. Just
8. My Iron Lung
9. Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was
10. Black Star
11. Sulk
12. Street Spirit [Fade Out]

My fave mp3 ATM:
Sinnlos im Weltraum - Wir saufen bis wir umfallen (http://www.sinnlos-im-weltraum.de/sound/Saufen.mpga)
-
Check out Pacifier, Tadpole, and Stella* - all Kiwi bands, probably don't get any airplay over there, and Tadpole just rocks.
Sample some of the tadpole stuff here: http://www.nzmusic.com/album.cfm?i=400

JB - try doing a google search (or better yet, find it on Kazza) for Dust for Life (band) or Step into the Light (song).
studmuffingy name, but theyve got an interesting mix of STP, Radiohead and Soundgarden all rolled together.
Good change of pace if youre sick of all the crap everyone else is putting out today.
-
Anything by Coldplay, but especially: In My Place, The Scientist, Clocks, Trouble, Yellow, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, Warning sign......
Just get the albums 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' and 'Parachutes'
:D
-
Try this:
google for
+"index of" +"parent directory"
and your favourite media file extension.
Turns up loads of Apache-generated pages for insufficiently protected music directories on people`s machines :)
-
In no particular order:
ZZ Top - Greatest Hits A great easy listening album
Stone Sour Quite possibly the greatest f*cking album of all time. Big riffs and jagged screams with *gasp* melodic singing
SlipKnot Either album if pretty aggressively good
Slayer - Reignn in Blood, Season in the Abyss Both good albums
ICP Any albums is pretty good but I prefer #2,3 and 4.
Beastie Boys - License to Ill Funny arse rap by Jewish white boys
Dr. Dre and Snoop for those "gansta" moments
Metallica* - Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning Classic heavy metal
Anything by Bethoven, Bartok, Bach, Frederick F*cking Jopin, Litz
Also: Anything by Hendrix or SRV is worth listening to.
* Note: I found that I actually enjoyed Metallica's new album when I was drunk and forgot this is was by them. I guess I expected to much from Metallica.
-
Stuff I'm listening to lately:
Grandaddy, Ben Kweller, Hot Hot Heat, New Pornographers, Queens of the Stoneage, Stephen Malkmus, The Flaming Lips, The Vines, Wilco.
Of course Radiohead's new album 'Hail to the Theif'. In my opinion, pound for pound I'd say they're prolly the best band in the world currently.
-

Smell the Tuna by buster Hymen and the Penetrators.

Yes and no, it is from his "Impressions of Japan" album, all of the songs have a serene japanese quality, very cool .
There are also his "Impressions of New York" and "Impressions of Eurasia" that I've been wanting to check out .

I agree, though my fav on the newest is Politik.
I have been listenting to The Cure a bit lately as well. Disentegration is still my favorite album.
Remy Zero has a few songs that are pretty decent too.
-
Yes if you are ethically opposed to abusing barbituates like me, Coldplay is a good substitute . If you like Coldplay give that fujiyama song I was talking about a listen .

Did I mention that I'm a deaf mute than can't hear or talk.
I didn't think I did.
Okay, just checking.
My middle leg is bigger than my other two legs...maybe that the attraction that the ladies find in me :)
The rain in spain falls mainly on the plains.
If you find that water is wet then you should come inside my shack.
Oh yeah...oh, wait...no, no, I remember...damn, nevermind...sh*t
If we could all fly on blue clouds of disenchantment and swing on the fruits on immoratily then we'd all be f*cked.
Have a nice day :)

JB, you said intelligent but obscure, right? And genre doesn't really matter (aside from the R&B garbage). Find yourself a copy of Hi, How Are You Today? by a guy named Ashley MacIsaac.

Sugar - copper blue

Aye,,,
nothing like Cape Breton fiddle music :D
I listen to alot of Celtic music, we are fortunate here in KC that many Celtic bands come to the area to play.
-
I like Alternative....rock. Classic Rock.. some pop. Classical and gotta have my Jazz.
-
I've been into alot of country lately...Alan Jackson in particular. I burned a Cash CD the other day...I love it all except hard core rap/Hip hop.
-
Im trying very hard to like the St. Anger album.... not having much luck so far but some of the tunes are slowly growing on me
VERY SLOWLY..
-
Check out this link easy way to find bands cds etc etc.

In the car I listen to the radio. 99.5 outta Fort Walton Beach mostly. Their DJs make me laugh and they play new/classic rock. Overplay some stuff of course, but for the most part it's ok.
For backup at the moment, I've got Danzig II in my CD player in the car.
At work... I've got about 100 various CDs (all bought, thank you) ripped down to the computer. mostly classic rock, some new rock too, some classical, some jazz, some movie sound tracks.
right now I'm listening to My Immortal by Evanescence (4th track on Fallen.) It's my favorite song of their album. strings, piano, bass and her vocals. Beautiful song. Definitely something I wouldn't think their "target audience" would go for, or at least admit they liked. ;)
edit: Next song was Close to You off the Doors album. ;) The intro to it is hilarious. "Tonight you're going to get a special treat... no no, not that!" lol
-
This is going back a ways, but my most favorite obscure song is "Out of My Head" by Fastball. It is an easy listening, simple song that is just catchy. Listen to it at least twice. Their biggest hit was "The Way," which was also a good song.
I'm with a lot of others on this, Evanescence has a few good songs worth listening to.
-
Anyone here old enough to remember when all you needed if you wanted to listen to cutting edge rock&roll was one of those new fangled FM radios?
During the mid-late 60s and even into the mid 70's FM was like pirate radio. There were stations like KMET in LA that went out of their way to play the new or the obscure.
You probably need to be from So. Cal to understand, but I curse "The Wave" every time I hear it.

If your in front of a computer with highish speed internet access doing work and they'll let you listen to music have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/ Check out John Peel. The Grandaddy of Radio1 plays some seriously weird **** that you will NEVER have heard of. The last weeks shows are all availible as streamed downloads (realplayer I think) The quality is suprisingly good. Live stuff from Glastonbury is up too including Radioheads amazing set.

You might remember a radio staion 101.9 scas and a couple years before that it was 101.9 kedg. When it was the edge Jim Ladd ran the station and the DJ's picked all the music. Lots of local and unsigned bands. They used to do a in studio live this when it was kcas they put out CD's for charity some rally good live acustic stuff on them.
AH kmet
A little bit of hevean 94.7 KMET tweddle dee.
-
MT, I barely remember 8-tracks! ;) can't expect me to know what the hell you're talking about with FM radio being "new!" lol
-
some good ideas all TY. ill start looking this stuff up next week. <
>
but a question... i have an mp3 i got back in the "audiogalaxy" days. i they had a cool feature where if you liked a song you could get like 100 results that were considered "similar".
i was doing a "drum and bass" search and got a dj. food track called "the crow" i love that song. but here's a question... i can't find it on any of his releases. anyone know which CD this came from? or where i can get it?
also i got a song by "tony faline" called "mind over matter" ... but again i cant find tony faline any where either :(
-
JB - have a look on http://www.allmusic.com
Great site for finding bands, similar bands, etc.

Mostly all I listen to nowadays is a 90Hz tone. Tinitis sucks, but I sure had fun in the 70's.:(
