Kiss - God Gave Rock and Roll To You.
-
bignic - Bladerunner.
So there is this game called Zombies. I have no idea how good it is. But its soundtrack is a pretty diverse nice techno album. 32 tracks with stuff varying from nice break beats definitely Justice inspired to some nice ambient tracks.
Edit - And at $4 on Bandcamp it is an absolute steal. http://bignic.bandcamp.com/album/zombies-soundtrack
-
Cocteau Twins - Pink Orange Red
<Grefter> SchoolDays.png
-
10,000 Maniacs - Eat For Two
Walk for two, I'm stumbling.
-
The Verve - Catching the Butterfly
-
Bertie Blackman - Television.
-
Blackmore's Night - Peasant's Promise
Not really one of the big standout ones on Secret Voyage, but still pretty good.
-
Bertie Blackman - Mercy Killer.
-
bignic - Sad Drunk Alone and Fucking Miserable (Game Paused)
Best track title. Best pause music.
-
bignic - Purpose.
Also the soundtrack parties fucking hard.
-
bifnic - Sorry.
-
Electric Six - White Eyes
-
Rainbow - Temple of the King
I needed some badass old camp.
-
bignic - Modern.
That 8-bit scream as the peak before the break. So great. That break. So great.
-
Bignic - Plosive - Slow Slide (bignic remix)
So this song hits you at that moment when you are like "Oh man this is the 13th track on an album and every one so far has been great. Holy shit this isn't even half way through the album." and you are completely amazed.
-
Eytan and the Embassy- No Reason to Cry. It's a song about how, when you're sad, you should go bang.
These guys are pretty good, btw.
-
bignic - Chairs.
Okay so checking his other stuff, he has a free album. So if $4 is too much for you then check out http://bignic.bandcamp.com/album/homesick
-
Cocteau Twins - Cherry-Coloured Funk
-
bignic - Done.
-
Starting us off with Kiss, Grefter? Bad form.
Pink Floyd: Pigs (Three Different Ones)
-
Starting off with Bill and Ted reference.
-
Okay, that's much more acceptable. (Man, I don't think I've seen that movie in like twenty years.)
Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter
-
You should fix that (it is the celebratory song at the end of Bogus Journey).
Bertie Blackman - Criminal of Desire.
-
Blue Oyster Cult: Astronomy
-
Gotye, Eyes Wide Open (Yeasayer Remix)
-
Daft Punk - Touch It / Technologic.
Alive 2007 so awesome.
-
Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks
This album is so excellent.
-
bignic - Cadence.
-
Daft Punk - Touch It / Technologic.
Alive 2007 so awesome.
Releasing a new album soon, PS iydk.
-
David Bowie, Where are We Now?
Releases The Next Day in March.*
Anyway, man, I love how his voice aged -- it's so weak. I'm not sure the background amplifies it enough though (latter part of the track is much better w/ drum beat).
-
!!!!!!!!!! NEW BOWIE ????????????????
But yeah there is a reason I love modern Bowie. He is fantastic. Check out Heathen.
Snow Patrol - Half the Fun.
-
Indeed. Lands in AUS first on 3/8.
-
Heathen is the best thing.
The Protomen: Hope Rides Alone
Speaking of new music by awesome people, apparently they put out an album last year and no one told me. It is not Act III, which is unfortunate because I want Act III, but it is a Queen cover album. As a rule I am not a fan of covers, but it could be worse than one of my favorite bands covering one of my even more favorite bands, so that's something. Song selection looks pretty outstanding! I will find out when the CD gets here (what are Youtubes I don't know). Apparently the band actively encourages people to go with hard copy over digital download, presumably for the sake of album art and liner notes (100% a band after my own heart).

You won't be disappointed.
It's not act 3 though.

Arcade Fire: We Used to Wait
-
Mumford and Sons - Lover's Eyes
Not sure what I think about Babel. Still digesting it. There's nothing I like as much as Dust Bowl Dance though.
-
The Tontons - So Young
found an indie band from Houston, TX; black singer, Vietnamese & Hispanic band members. Like the sound so far. Like the integration as well, but that doesn't say anything against non-integrated ones. Mmm, just a slice of reality that there's tons of diversity from the South. I'll stop typing now, [/rant]
-
Blue Oyster Cult: The Great Sun Jester
-
Tune-yards - Bizness
.... I want them to tour now. I want them to come back to the Paradise Club. Are they doing shows in basements in Cambridge?! Where the fuck ARE THESE BITCHES IN BOSTON MAN?!
...Edit*
..... I .. fucking... love Merrill Garbus... mullet, androgyny, possibly being a male or a woman, I don't care. I love her. And she's out of Boston right now. ):
-
Eskimo Joe - Comfort You.
-
Tracy Chapman - Fast Car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orv_F2HV4gk, because Youtube is my main music player these days.
It probably says a lot that sometimes webcomics influence my choice of music. Whatever this song has managed to strike a chord.
-
3 Inches of Blood - Demon's Blade.
Because metal.
-
Heavy D and the Boyz - Now That We Found Love.
This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNEgUPKxk7A) is what happens when you let Snow be a rapper and write his own video clips
-
Susanne Sundfor - Diamonds
We are unwanted, slip away.
-
Susanne Sundfor - Rome
This album is very interesting~
-
It's fascinating indeed. It's bleak, strange, sometimes intoxicating even.
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Green Fingers
I like the imagery of the green thumb lore. It's kind of a classical traditional literary device that's seen quite some use in a few works from my childhood. Weird that Siouxsie and the Banshees would tug -that- kind of memory string in me, but so it goes.
Oh, and the song ain't bad either.
-
Miike Snow - Plastic Jungle.
I like Miike Snow. A little more... I dunno... synthesized than most of the music I like? A lot of fun though.
Also, preordered Nick Cave's new album. :) I do like the single.
-
Cocteau Twins - Sultitan Itan
I love how all these songs are named after butterflies.
-
The Sword - Dying earth.
Bought random metal album. Has pretty cool old school metal aesthetic album cover. Sounds like Black Sabbath. Not complaining.
-
Amy Winehouse - Help Yourself
I bought a random metal album too, by a band called Royal Hunt. I haven't listened yet though.
-
Metric - Nothing But Time
-
The Avalanches - Since I Left You.
-
Blondie - Atomic
-
Fear Factory - Freedom or Fire.
What to listen to while waiting for Black Blood of the Earth to kick in and make me a jittery mess (pro tip: I was there before the message was finished.)
-
Blondie - Sunday Smile.
The album to listen to after the above happened, then training and now my body doesn't work any longer.
-
Placebo - Plasticine.
-
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Song of Joy
Possibly the best song on this album? It's the right combination of moody, not too long (hi O'Malley's Bar), and seems to be a callback to Red Right Hand which is awesome.
-
Cocteau Twins - Pink Orange Red
-
Placebo - Black-Eyed.
-
Arcade Fire - Antichrist Television Blues
I feel very dramatic when I listen to this song.
-
The Protomen: PRINCES OF THE MOTHERFUCKING UNIVERSE
It's rather alarming how close they actually sound to Queen sometimes on this album. Which only underscores how talented they are as musicians.
-
Snow Patrol - You're All I Have.
-
Blue Oyster Cult - Subhuman
Ciddy, did you pick up Secret Treaties, or a different album with Astronomy on it? Secret Treaties is pretty camp in the normal BOC way, but I like it. Fire of Unknown Origin is better though.
-
When I was looking up track listings in their catalogue to determine which albums to get first, it came to my attention that a box set of their entire discography* had recently been released. In a moment of striking financial irresponsibility, I purchased this thing. Secret Treaties/Fire of Unknown Origin/Imaginos squarely the best albums in the lot. ST/FoUO each have like one song I could do without but are otherwise consistently great. Imaginos is shockingly high-quality work for a band in its death throes and it makes me sad that no one was listening anymore by the time it came out.
Veteran of the Psychic Wars is probably their best song (I am particularly fond of this live version, which is on one of the concert albums I wound up with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrd2xf5DIlU) but depending on what day it is I could possibly be argued into Astronomy.
Give Black Blade a listen if you haven't. It is glorious cheese.
(*excluding the post-80's couple that came out on an indie label)
EDIT: Jesus Ciato when did you officially become Luther Lansfeld.
-
Bertie Blackman - Very Well.
-
I am Luther because DATA SHOULD BEHAVE AS SUCH! And which song do you not like on ST? I will try Black Blade. What's the point of BOC fandom if you don't love glorious cheese?
-
Ciato is just bitter over being officially Baby Daisy.
Marina & The Diamonds - Bubblegum Bitch
-
And which song do you not like on ST?
Cagey Cretins. It just feels like a notch below everything else in quality.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - Being Bad Feels Pretty Good.

Bertie Blackman - Boy.

The Lumineers - Stubborn Love

Shonen Knife - Giant Kitty.
This so g is even goofier than the title suggests and I love it even more for it.
-
Bertie Blackman - Mercy Killing.
You are home now Snow. Buy this.
-
<Grefter> I don't like giving you the third degree, I just want what's due, what's due, what's due to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-
Cocteau Twins - Oomingmal
Victorialand is quietly becoming my favorite Twins album. The aesthetic depth in its songs is something else.
-
Taylor Davis - Kingdom Hearts Theme Hikari (Simple and Clean)
Her violin covers are amazing. I'll buy her game covers CD sometime soon.
-
Aimee Mann - Observatory
You could see this song as heteronormative or subtly, almost sub-repritiously lesbian. As for me, I just think "yes".

Someone edited Losing My Religion to shift it into a major key. I...can't say I find the results disagreeable.
-
... this is -amazing-.
-
I know, right?
(They did the same thing to Nothing Else Matters. The results in that case are laughably absurd.)

The Animals - Hallelujah I Love Her So.

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Cities In Dust
This is actually playing at the pub. I love this place.
-
Sarah Blasko - Planet New Year
-
Metric - IOU

Finally got my record player in the mail.
Bought Tune-Yards 2009 Bird-Brains release all recorded on a voice recorder. Boss.
Fucking psyched.
Listening to Hatari.
My mom is sending me her entire vinyl collection since I don't break shit. Shit sounds like crystal fucking air.
-
'Til Tuesday - Rip In Heaven
After Charmer being as lazy as it was (even though it's solid anyway), not much left but to go back to the oldies. Aimee Mann lyrics+'80s is -such- a bizarre combination.
-
Bignic - Modern.
Lyrics are for lamers.
-
Schubert - Serenade
-
Schubert, played by Maurizio Pollini - Sonata (in B flat major, D. 960)

Schubert, performed by the Bamberg Symphony Chorus - Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major D. 485
This is so nostalgic. I used to listen to this symphony of his nearly non-stop on my last year of college.

Everything But The Girl - Single

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
Pretty excellent.
-
Everything But The Girl - Walking Wounded
It's been five years and I'm finally sinking into this album.
-
Talking Heads - Uh Oh, Love Comes To Town
David Byrne, you adorable dork.
-
Blue Oyster Cult - Flaming Telepaths
-
Under Night In-Birth - Scraper Sky High
The tracks has been looping in my mind since my ecent purchase of the CD.
-
Everything But The Girl - Flipside
The band's flirt with electronica may sound a bit dated now, but it remains very classy and interesting. Very elegant, reminds me of a few Massive Attack works.
-
Mumford and Sons - Broken Crown
-
Bignic - Modern
-
Mumford and Sons - Broken Crown
That's pretty much the best Babel has to offer in my opinion.
-
The Animals - Talkin' About You
-
Aimee Mann - Observatory
"She won't be sad, so much as matter of fact - like it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact."
And it's quite a sunny song! I love Lost In Space so much.
-
Led Zeppelin - Down By the Seaside
I was listening to this song passively at work without listening to the lyrics and I thought "Gee, this reminds me of sitting by the water/instruments being played to kind of sound like people underwater." I was amused.
-
One of those days I'm getting you to listen to the Cocteau Twins.

Justin Timberlake - Suit n Tie
Dude's got a sweet voice. Here's hoping he gets some more Neptune's beats for the upcoming album.
-
Susanne Sundfor - I Resign

Everything But The Girl - Five Fathoms
I'm not immune - I love this tune.
-
Bertie Blackman - Criminal of Desire.
-
Amon Amarth - Where Is Your God?
Yessssssss.
-
Amon Amarth - Live For the Kill.
I assume this is RICHARD's family song that he gets all embarrassed every time they have to sing it at family reunions.
-
Queens of the Stone Age - The Blood is Love
2 years down the line or something and I still have 18000+ songs to go through from when I was trying to find new music. I blame losing computers at some points along the line.
-
Everything But The Girl - Tender Blue
Man, even at their beginning state, they were tongue-in-cheek and disillusioned. EBTG is far more interesting than anyone'd give credit for.
-
Live - Feel the Quiet River Rage.
Old loves.

Everything But The Girl - Driving

King Crimson: Fallen Angel

Devin Townsend Project - Heatwave
This is from the bonus album I got with Epicloud. It is a very strange album, since it is just a compilation of all the failed ideas for Epicloud. It's quirky and fun though (and even less epic and loud than Epicloud. :p)
-
Does it Offend You, Yeah? - Pull Out My Insides.
-
Adam Warrock - Battle (Introductions).
The War for Infinity is still a pretty awesome album 2 years on and it is pretty awesome to see Eugene is still putting out albums and touring 2 years on. Going pro seems to be working well enough for him.
-
Aimee Mann - Crazytown
Okay, maybe a lazy, morose and pleasant album like Charmer is just what I need. Aimee Mann may have outlived her prime, but she just never lets up her strong points as a singer/songwriter fade.

When I get to the end of Mass Effect 3 I turn the game off and listen to his ME3 tribute album instead. It's much better.
-
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Hall of Mirrors
Kraftwerk as seen by Siouxsie Sioux. The Banshees: always pretty weird.

Try Rehearsing My Choir. It is a crazy and fun concept album.

This is a lie.

Queen: My Fairy King

-
Or Kate Bush.
-
Jamiroquai - Blue Skies.
-
Eurythmics - She's Invisible Now
-
Or Kate Bush.
You know, I've never actually heard a thing by her apart from that one Peter Gabriel song, so I can't say this reference means much to me.
I've been meaning to ask, what Banshees albums are worth grabbing aside from Hyena?
-
Well, depends on what you like about the band. Juju is a classic and the big album to listen to so you can at least infer their dirtier, raspier phase. I really like A Kiss At The Dreamhouse, but that album is pretty damned weird, and Peepshow is all over the damned place. I like Through The Looking Glass a lot too, but if you don't like covers, don't bother. On the other hand, Siouxsie is -good- at those covers. Tinderbox is also worth a listen and I think Kaleidoscope is worth a try. For some comprehension on how they ultimately got bored, Superstition is worth the historic record look, but Siouxsie+transitional '80s-'90s pop is incredibly strange and not necessarily in a good way. In terms of priority, with Ciddyness to account for, I'd probably go Juju > Through The Looking Glass >= Tinderbox > Kaleidoscope >= A Kiss At The Dreamhouse. The rest, you pick up if you liked at least over 50% of the load here.
EDIT: For Juju, if you can find the edition with Israel, go for it - that song is astounding. Do keep in mind the reissue they released in 2006 doesn't have it, though (it does have Fireworks, though, which is also great). Also, this list is by no means comprehensive: I'm sure it misses at least three albums in their discography. The Seven Year Itch live album is also worth picking up, though it shows Siouxsie's voice dwindling some. They did amazing things to Peekaboo (which I know you don't like and I thoroughly agree with your assessment on the base song. The band just makes it really good when they play it in concerts).
-
Bush- The people that we love
-
Electric Six - Escape from Ohio
I missed the diss of John Boehner in this song until a few days ago. <_<
-
The Cure - Torture
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me is -so- much better than I first gave credit for. It's all over the place and bipolar as fuck, but it's a good all over the place bipolar as fuck.
-
Siouxsie and the Banshees - O Baby
The Rapture manages to be stranger than Superstition in much the same way Superstition is. Still gotta mull this album over. It's weird how much actual pop sensibility they could actually display, though.
-
Street Sweeper Social Club - Fight! Smash! Win!
Pretty much everything I love about Tom Morello bass lines. Simple, catchy and drives a simple antiestablishment anthem. Gives a kind of brainless song some serious balls. Good times.
-
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Stargazer
The Rapture is probably the best Blondie album ever done by Siouxsie and the Banshees. What an utterly bizarre little thing.
-
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Jubilee Street

Cocteau Twins - Know Who You Are At Every Age
It kinda saddens me that the songplaying and singing in Four-Calendar Café are so lazy. The base songwriting is very good - some of the songs could be absolutely -amazing- if Guthrie and Liz displayed the energy and virtuosism present in, say, Treasure, or the elegance and density from Victorialand.
THIS SAID, this particular song is absolutely perfect for the sedate, quiet undertones they adopted throughout the album, and in a way pretty much no other song from the Twins' catalogue could ever be.
EDIT: :musicsperg:
-
David Bowie - I've Been Waiting For You.
-
Cocteau Twins and Faye Wong - The Amusement Park
This is an utterly weird collaboration. Good to know Faye Wong can do much better than Eyes On Me, though. May be worth rummaging through her catalogue, she has a few more collabs with the Twins, some of which I -know- in Liz's voice. Music is so great, guys.
-
The Long Blondes - The Couples.
In other news, good music.
-
The sky is blue.
The Long Blondes - In The Company Of Women
Two can play the game of stating the obvious.
-
The Long Blondes - I Like The Boys.
Not the most original sentiment I have ever heard, so what's new?
-
The Long Boys - You Could Have Both
Well that's what happens when you listen to St. Scott Walker.
-
Martika - Toy Soldiers
I think I just set myself up for a Grefter.png.

So when the new Bowie album comes out I need to find something from the 80s I don't have of his so I have a day of Bowie.
3 Inches of Blood - Night Marauders.
-
I was about to ask if your week was -that- bad, but it just looks like a different craving.
Cocteau Twins/Faye Wong - The Amusement Park
Some of these vocal gymnastics made me think Wong is singing with Liz Fraser, but no, it's just her vocals overlapping two distinct melodic lines and it sounds -exactly- like Liz's breathtaking falsettos. I didn't think it was even -possible- to properly emulate Fraser's technique to that degree.
-
My week was that bad.
3 Inches of Blood - Demon's Blade.

The Smiths - Money Changes Everything
Sometimes, I just want to listen to Johnny Marr's guitar. Too bad this is like the only instrumental song from The Smiths worth anything.
-
Cocteau Twins - Serpentskirt
Check out the weeping guitar wails that pretty much pave the melodic line in this song.
-
Elvis Costello & The Attractions - The Beat
I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be your victim.

Sounds like something one'd strip naked and unsheathe a bastard sword to.
Cocteau Twins - Frosty The Snowman
-
Aimee Mann - Labrador
When was the last time I heard a subtly adorable song about a dog? Aimee Mann, you cad.
EDIT: And Quiche Lorraine is neither subtle nor adorable. For all that I gather Ciddy will be the only one who even -might- get the reference. >_>
inb4 Grefterdit: Grefter doesn't count.

Not even me, sorry.
And, belated, but I meant to note that I actually quite like the covers I've heard the Banshees do. Dear Prudence/The Passenger/Wheels on Fire, all great stuff.
-
The Sword - The White Sea.
-
The Sword - Acheron / Unearthing the Orb.
Okay so their latest album was pretty much Black Sabbath. This one I got the other day is a concept album about space. This specific track is an instrumental. The next track on the album has references to Macbeth. These guys are eclectic as fuck.
-
And, belated, but I meant to note that I actually quite like the covers I've heard the Banshees do. Dear Prudence/The Passenger/Wheels on Fire, all great stuff.
The reference was B-52's. Anyhow, if you like the covers, you will definitely like Through The Looking Glass. The Passenger and Wheels on Fire are there (Dear Prudence, as you know, is on Hyaena). Some really good stuff there too, like This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us and The Looking Glass. I'm also partial to Trust In Me. Having listened to The Rapture, if you like Superstition, you -will- like The Rapture. However, be aware that I really mean what I said about it: it's basically a Blondie album by Siouxsie & the Banshees.
-
Queen: Who Wants to Live Forever?
-
Florence and the Machine - Cosmic Love.
-
Bignic - Help.
-
Florence + the Machine - Heartlines
-
Cocteau Twins - Violaine
-

This song reminds me of The Gathering Storm.

what the christ are these sounds I'm hearing
-
Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone
-
Faye Wong - Where
-
Florence + the Machine - Hurricane Drunk.
-
Florence + the Machine - What the Water Gave Me.
-
Devil Doll: Dies Irae
This is some weird shit. I'd hope Grefter at least looks it up (always assuming there's something out there he hasn't already heard, which would be a surprise).
-
Green Day - Stuck With Me.
Identifying this much with Insomniac is a bad sign.
-
Picked up the new David Bowie album this morning ripped it at work. Not listening to it until I get home though. In the meantime I picked up new Dropkick Murphys as well.
Dropkick Murphys - End of the Night.
So far there hasn't been anything I would recommend it as the first album of theirs to start with, but if you like them it is more of the same. Plenty more album to go though so will update as I go.
-
Luciano Pavarotti- Nessun Dorma
On something of a classic kick of late.
-
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - We Real Cool
-
Cocteau Twins - Smile
-
Picked up the new David Bowie album this morning ripped it at work.
He sounds like is having fun and it is consequently good stuff. Also, I cannot stop laughing at the album art. Good show, man.
-
10,000 Maniacs - Can't Ignore The Train
Some rage to share with the wardrobe mirror in a room so beige and cold~
-
Dropkick Murphys - The Torch.
Snow.mp3
-
Cocteau Twins - Rilkean Heart (Acoustic Version)
-
David Bowie: You Feel So Lonely You Could Die
So yeah The Next Day is really damn good.
-
Electric Six - Countdown to the Countdown
Such an absurd song.
-
The Kills - Baby Says
This album is still my favorite from them.
-
David Bowie - (You Will) Set the World on Fire.
Not actually grefter.ogg in spite of the name. Still a good track.
-
Dropkick Murphys - Surrender.
-
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - We No Who U R
-
Cocteau Twins - Smile
The warmth of a myriad sunrises and the embrace of a thousand sunsets.
-
David Bowie - Cactus
I've been trying to get into Bowie, Heathen is decent.
-
David Bowie - You Feel So Lonely You Could Die.
-
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Mermaids.
Yep.
-
Cocteau Twins - From The Flagstones
Rainy, windy day? Perfect time for some Cocteau Twins.
-
Julia Stone - With the Light.
-
David Bowie - You Feel So Lonely You Could Die.
That might be my favorite thing on the album. After listening to it a few times I concluded it was basically Rock 'n' Roll Suicide redux, but that I didn't care because Rock 'n' Roll Suicide is one of his best songs.
-
The whole album is sort of revisit of bits and pieces of his career through a filter of being much older. So seeing it as a hearkening back to Rock and roll Suicide would probably be accurate.
-
Dropkick Murphys - Fightstarter Karaoke.
-
Garbage - Why Do You Love Me?

-
Mumford and Sons - Ghosts That We Knew
-
Fun. - One Foot.

-
Augie March - Dogsday.
-

Soundtrack from the new Les Mis movie: Look Down(Beggar's Version)
Probably my favorite song in the lot, and I like almost all the songs.

New album, good like the old albums.
-
Cocteau Twins - Donimo
-
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds- Push the Sky away
Enjoying Cave's newest album.
-
You have an awful lot of good music to enjoy then. Pretty much everything between Murder Ballads and the new album is similar quality.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Awake.
-
Flaming Lips - Fight Club
It has been waaay too long since I listened to this.
-
Hallelujah's fun. Cave's more mellow/slower paced than I usually like my music, but it works when I'm doing something like playing Defender's Quest.
Nick Cave- Idiot Prayer
-
Siouxsie & The Banshees - The Passenger
-

Not sure if G R R Martin song or not, but it sure sounds like it.
Edit - one google search later. Of course it is you idiot.
-
Cocteau Twins - Cherry-Coloured Funk
Chromatic heaven.
-
Arjen Anthony Lucassen - Our Imperfect Race
Revisiting this album a bit due to primarily focussing on the badass remakes rather than the other stuff.

Still on this rediscovery of old music. Still loving (almost) every moment of it.

Vicious- Broke Ass Hoe
To put it mildly, the lyrics in this song are not a shining example of modern feminism.
-
With that title, gee ya think.
-
Kate Bush - Houdini
Kate Bush, you're so WEIRD.
-
Kate Bush - Get Out Of My House
You have a vigorous percussion, an ornate, atmospherically dense celtic-based melody and Kate Bush alternating deep-as-the-ocean falsettos and banshee shrieks. And amidst this all, Bush and someone who may or may not be Peter Gabriel make donkey noises.
None of the words above contain even a hint of hyperbole or sarcasm.

I am sure math rock/post-rock isn't something I normally go for, but this is still just too good.

Metal version of Haters Gonna Hate

Queensryche - Empire
I've been reading about the hilarious dramaz of Queensryche over their breakup and albums being released by different people with the same names and I just wonder if anyone gives a shit after a series of boring, mediocre albums. Empire, however, is fucking awesome.
-
Queensryche broke up in 1994. That is a fact!
-
Have you listened to Promised Land, Cid? Worth a look at all?
I decided to listen to clips of Frequency Unknown just out of curiosity. It is pretty much as bad as advertised. And the cover of the album is very tacky.
-
Reading about the band's breakup makes me want to go watch This Is Spinal Tap.
I like Promised Land. You can tell it was the band trying to adapt to a changing musical landscape--it's darker in tone, more acoustic guitar than usual, less melodic guitar lines--but I think it turned out as well as could be expected. The band still has a knack for songwriting and sometimes Geoff Tate still sings like what he's singing about actually matters to him. It's no Operation: Mindcrime, but I would defend it as a good album (and certainly the last one the band made). I'm a little biased because it was how I was introduced to the band, though. It was one of the first CDs I got!
Their original lead guitarist is apparently a commercial pilot now. How weird is that? At least he knew to jump ship before things went all to crap (or possibly they went to crap because he left).
EDIT: ye gods that is an awful album cover.
-
Thanks for the heads up, that was pretty amazing read.
Deadmau5 - FML.
-
diVinyls - I'm Jealous.
-
Went on a Chemical Brothers kick after randoming onto Block Rockin' Beats again. I always forget how much I like them
-
Apparently they put out like four albums while I wasn't paying attention to them. I should do something about that.
Nier OST: Ashes of Dreams (Japanese version)
-
All the Chemical Bros albums are pretty good. Some better than others (Not all can have Electrbank), but all pretty decent.
Cold War Kids - Mine is Yours.
-
Funny, Elektrobank isn't really one I would've put forward as their best. A decent swath of Dig Your Own Hole doesn't really connect with me (Setting Sun, Where Do I Begin, and The Private Psychedelic Reel are all pretty cool though). I am notably more fond of Surrender and Come With Us. I guess I prefer it when they're being more tuneful (probably not a surprise).
-
Grefter likes driving bass line and dissonance. News at 12.
-
Ambeon - Cold Metal
Deciding if I like her voice enough to buy the album.
-
Meco - Imperial March. (it is labelled Empires Strikes back, but fuck off this is the Imperial March)
So I discovered that I shouldn't put this on while doing cardio boxing. I do longer sets of punches at home with the bag instead of doing pad work. I threw this on and for some reason came out swinging big and that would have burned me out super quick. Heart rate spiked through the roof.
I really fucking love the Imperial March.
-
Nightwish - Master Passion Greed
-
Queensryche: Eyes of a Stranger
Proper albums save the best song for last.
-
The Sword - Execrator.
For a band that I was originally "Eh they are okay but not something I would actively seek out" I have really come around to these guys.
-
The Sword - Unknown.
-
The Sword - Trea Brunas.
Probably the best place to start on these guys I think.
Edit - Turns out it is the single of what I think is their best album, so there you have it.
-
Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu - Q.U.E.E.N
I love Janelle Monae. She's a big dork and her music is damn catchy. I also love her style.
-
Cocteau Twins - Circling Girl
Endless love. Rapturing bliss.
-
The Sword - Execrator.
(http://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/object/142/14237849/WildArmsXF_Levinboxart_160w.jpg)
They know nothing. They are nothing.
-
Also, I will have to protest Eyes of a Stranger being the best song on OM, Ciddy. :) Think my favs are, in some order, Speak, Spreading the Disease, and Suite Sister Mary.

Admittedly there's a lot of competition.

I have a lot of Pink Floyd but somehow I can't place that one.
Chemical Brothers: Harpoons
-
R.E.M. - All The Right Friends
-
The Pipettes - I Need A Little Time
Good pop songwriting, but it's way too loud and overproduced.
-
It's the intro to Dark Side of the Moon. Listened to the whole album afterwards of course :)
Pink Floyd - Mother
My personal favorite PF song.
-
Streaming Random Access Memories.
This is definitely Daft Punk, which is obvious because it sounds nothing like what they've done before, except you can tell Daft Punk put it together.
The name of the album is brilliant, and descriptive, and whoever said it was a "disco" album (DP themselves?) is right on. I'm digging it.
-
It's the intro to Dark Side of the Moon. Listened to the whole album afterwards of course :)
Well, that would explain it--I'm not all that fond of Dark Side of the Moon, don't think I've listened to it in at least a decade (Pink Floyd was my favorite band when I first started paying attention to rock music). Wish You Were Here > other albums (though The Wall has some choice moments, and though it's totally a cliche answer my top pick would be Comfortably Numb).
-
I've really only listened to the DSOTM and The Wall. I like the Wall better, Comfortably Numb is excellent, but Mother and Nobody Home are my favorites.
Ooooooooh baby, when I pick up the phone
(surprise, surprise, surprise)
There's still nobody home
-
Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Town Cryer
-
Blackmore's Night - Vagabond (Make a Princess of Me)
Decided to grab their most recent album. I definitely like to more than Secret Voyage. (Almost called it Secret Treaties, damn you BOC.)

At some point it might hit you it's not accidental.

New song, new post.
The Pipettes - Stop the Music
Sometimes, it takes well over a year to -really- discover an album even though you listen to it a fair deal. With me, "sometimes" is "all the fucking time, bub".
-
Apocalyptica: Faraway, Vol. 2
-
Dillinger was not an example. Just listening to their new album.
Snow Patrol - Its Beginning To Get To Me.
This is an example.

Mm, incidentally, is Daft Punk worth picking up? Never really listened to them.
-
Yes.
Yes.
-
Also yes.
Blue Oyster Cult: Blue Oyster Cult
What's up eponymous song a decade and a half into a band's career. Ciato you should totally check out Imaginos at some point. I think it's up there with Secret Treaties and Fire of Unknown Origin (a couple songs are reworkings of earlier BOC songs, granted). Apparently it was supposed to the first third of a story about a dude who's made immortal by aliens in order to be their agent and meddle with human history (and BOC is always best when being weird and cryptic). But the label reshuffled the songs so there was no narrative to follow, half the band hated each other by this point, and it bombed so hard their label dropped them anyway. It's sad because it's somehow consistently great work anyway (also the heaviest thing they recorded).
It does have a Satriani solo in the middle of probably its best song though (Fraaankeeeensteiiiiiiiin). Apparently his session work here paid for Surfing With the Alien, so at least it worked out for somebody.
-
That sounds appropriately bizarre and thus worth picking up.
-
Start with Discovery if you want Daft Punk.
-
Now that I for giggles read the reviews for Queensryche's new album, Amazon believes I love albums from 20-years-over-the-hill bands. I am amused. Looks like Imaginos isn't very cheap, sadly. Might try to hit a couple of the record stores in Van.
-

Evil Cowards - Dormitory Girls
As goofy as always.
-
Speaking of peoplewho hasn't released anything in three years:
Arcade Fire - Un Année Sans Lumiére
-
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Kindness of Strangers
This song makes me the second most uncomfortable of this album. O'Malley's Bar is creepier but it is creepier than many things.
-
Daft Punk: Contact
Rotating in a very rhythmic fashion
-
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Red Eyes and Tears.
-
The Flaming Lips - It's Summertime.
You weren't there when we first met Otter, but you are pretty much his album.
-
Live - Sun.
Distance From Here was the last Live album I really listened to. These days going back to them, I find it the most catchy and one I go back to more often, which is weird because I used to like Secret Samedhi better. Young me and older me both agree that Throwing Copper still best album of the lot though due to volume of great hits. Lows of it are lower than other albums though.
-
Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Love Letter.

Deep Purple - Space Truckin'
I was pretty impressed! Considering I'd never paid much attention beyond the radio songs before.
Daft Punk: Long Time
Did I mention when I watched it last year that Interstella 5555 is an outstanding piece of entertainment? Because that it is thing that should have been said.
-
Vanessa Mae - I Can, Can (You).
Just letting you know, Orpheus in the Underworld is still pretty wicked sick.
-
The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
-
The Sword - Arrows in the Dark.
This is going to be like the first thing we do when I visit Ciatos. You need more of this in your life.

Queens of the Stone Age - My God is the Sun
I picked up their new album on a whim. I like it.
-
Star One: It All Ends Here
Time to die.
-
Empire of the Sun - Lux.
-
I should listen to the other Star One album at some point. Such camp cannot be denied.
-
Patti Smith: Because the Night
Snow is this someone I should listen to more of just based on liking this song y/n.
(Yes I know Bruce Springsteen wrote it. This is also way better than his own version of the song.)

Honestly, if nothing else? The album this song comes from is -great-. Wave is also amazing. You don't really need to bother with anything past Wave, but that one and the ones before it are at least worth checking out.

Ciatos.avi
-
It apparenly doesn't come out in Canada until tomorrow.
-
It's still Ciatos.avi today. <3
-
of Montreal - Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curs
The happiest song about depression ever. Beating himself up cheerfully over his brain chemicals being uncooperative.
Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? is really excellent btw
-
Electric Six - I Am a Song!
Possibly my favorite E6 song, and that's saying something.
-
Empire of the Sun - Ice On The Dune.
Title track. Possibly favourite track. Not sure. Alive is the single and it is competing. This feels weird.
-
Nick Cave - Jubilee Street
-
Empire of the Sun - Ice On The Dune.
Title track. Possibly favourite track. Not sure. Alive is the single and it is competing. This feels weird.
Both are great. My favorites so far are DNA and Old Favours, though. I'll also add that, unlike Walking On a Dream, which loses steam midway through, Ice On The Dune has a -fantastic- second half.
-
Pet Shop Boys - Memory of the Future
Listening to some music I've had a while but not listened to that much.
-
Little Green Cars - The Consequences of Not Sleeping
-
Daft Punk: Motherboard
So Random Access Memories is really good. I am contemplating saying their best album sort of good, but I need to listen to a thing more before saying things like that out loud.
-
Evil Cowards - Summer of the Purple Man
Rick Santorum's worst nightmare; a gay man converting all the children into teh gayz!!!
-
ciatos did he make u gay? r u all about dudes now?
-
i <3 purple dudes
-
The Mars Volta- Ilyena
-
Dropkick Murphys - Rose Tattoo.
I stick by the assessment that these guys are Jim as hell.
-
Dropkick Murphys - Warrior's Code.
Even when it is about punching on it is still Jim.
-
Daft Punk: Within
-
The Chemical Brothers: Battle Scars
-
of Montreal and Janelle Monae - Enemy Gene
-
Janelle Monae - Violet Stars Happy Hunting!
-
Dropkick Murphys - Warrior's Code.
Even when it is about punching on it is still Jim.
Their show I saw was pretty sweet. Played a 24-song set. Concert went till 3 am.
-
I am impressed at the alcohol tolerance of that crowd.
The Animals - Mess Around.
-
Cocteau Twins - Circling Girl
-
The Protomen: Here Comes the Arm
I have come round to the opinion that Act II is better than Act I and in fact one of my favorite things.
-
Electric Light Orchestra: Fire On High
I may possibly like this song too much.
-
The Protomen: The Sons of Fate
-
Cold War Kids - Something is Not Right With Me.
-
Empire of the Sun - Concert Pitch.
Because politics at the moment is killing my motivation to do anything.
-
of Montreal with Solange Knowles - Sex Karma
False Priest is pretty darn cool too. Out of the of Montreal albums I've listened to, Hissing Fauna > False Priest >>> Skeletal Lampings
-
of Montreal with Solange Knowles - Sex Karma
False Priest is pretty darn cool too. Out of the of Montreal albums I've listened to, Hissing Fauna > False Priest >>> Skeletal Lampings
That basically sums up my feelings. Skeletal Lamping is OK but it's probably their worst album. You should check out Sunlanding Twins and the Gay Parade.
-
Shingeki no Kyojin OST - The Reluctant Heroes.
The OST did not disappoint.
-
Bertie Blackman - Television.
-
The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes
-

Cocteau Twins - Kookaburra
Bliss.

Apocalyptica: 2010
7th Symphony is still pretty fucking rad.
-
Ms. Mr. - Head Is Not My Home
SUDDENLY, 2013.
-
Ms. Mr. - Hurricane
Pretty danged good.
-
Ms. Mr - No Trace
-
Devin Townsend Project - Poltergeist
My album of choice for something very loud and obnoxious.
-
Empire of the Sun - Alive.
Not the best song on the album, but probably the one I enjoy the most.
-
Ms. Mr. - Fantasy
Reminds me slightly of miss Florence Welch, but with less sonic density, even better atmosphere and a deeper emphasis on percussion. Delightfully ethereal and dark.
-
Half Moon Run - Nerve
So uh these guys are uh kinda good.
EDIT: They also might be kinda Grefter.mp3.
-
"Gobble, Snarf, Snap" is the remix of the Phantom Train song from FFVI on OC Remix's new project that released yesterday. This particular song incorporates eastern European folk music and samples sound bites from Young Frankenstein so if you don't listen to it FUCK YOU.
-
Austra - Forgive Me
New album! It's lighter, gaudier, more colorful and weirdly accessible compared to the debut. And it's unrelently charming this way.
-
The Animals - Hallelujah I Love Her So.
-
of Montreal - Do You Mutilate?
-
Fire Emblem Awakening - Don't you dare mock my sister's words
Just got to this chapter again on my replay. I think this track is by a considerable margin the best in the game, and a big part of why this is the only arc of the game I connected with emotionally.
-
There's a nice piano remix of that on YouTube as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CixQmxgssyk&noredirect=1
I think there's other tracks on the soundtrack that are on the same level, but those battle tracks and the like are in the genre of game music that gets done really often, so I can totally buy seeing Don't Speak Her Name / (mock sister's words?) stand out more. I really liked Awakening's soundtrack overall, though, it's much better than the other Fire Emblems, so I'm probably biased. (Sacred Stones probably comes in 2nd place if it wasn't for the short loop times, and it's a distant 2nd.)
-
Austra - Painful Like
-
David Bowie: The Man Who Sold the World
-
Tears for Fears: Everybody Wants to Rule the World
-
Devil Doll: Dies Irae
Continues to be some of the weirdest shit I have ever heard. (This is of course a compliment.)
-
The Black Keys - Dead and Gone
So yeah, El Camino is a -great- album. Not sure about the rest of the discography yet. They have way too goddamned many works.

Local Natives - Sun Eyes
omgyes

Queens of the Stone Age - Keep Your Eyes Peeled

Ozzy Osbourne: Mr. Crowley
Still made of pure fucking win.
-
Local Natives - Black Balloons
I'm such a goddamn sucker for music that immediately appeals to my sinaesthetic tendencies.
-
Devil Doll: The Girl Who Was...Death
I'm such a goddamn sucker for music that immediately appeals to my bottomless appetite for aural melodrama.
-
Well played.
Local Natives - Airplanes
-
Empire of the Sun - Concert Pitch
I feel ya, Ciddy.
-
Precursors: Arilou ~ Welcome to (unpronounceable)
Probably due to play this again.
-
Precursors: Yehat ~ Years Late Remix
It actually does exist. Sadly not more awesome than the original though (this is a high bar).
-
Local Natives - Black Balloons
-
The Smiths - The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
Motivated by THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8tY8zElvRw).
-
Daft Punk: Contact
It's really just the same chord progesssion repeated over and over again, but it's so great.
-
David Bowie - Five Years
Five years, what a surprise, five years
My brain hurts a lot, five years
That's all we've got
-
Travis - Slide Show
I still like this album even though it's been pretty much a decade since I first listened to it. They're not amazing, but some songs are pretty well composed. I kinda wish Fran Healy was the vocalist for Coldplay instead, since it'd mean Coldplay wasn't unbearable (fuck you, Chris Martin). GRANTED, if Aimee Mann was Coldplay's vocalist...
-
The Fiery Furnaces - Chris Michaels.
-
Debating if I should buy Agents of Fortune or Imaginos for my third Blue Oyster Cult album... :)
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper

The Sword - Arrows in the Dark.

Local Natives - Black Balloons
-
Hole - Use Once & Destroy.
All the nihilism Snow wishes he had.
-
Lord Huron - I Will Be Back One Day
--- loved seeing them @ Newport Folk Festival. Never heard them until then, now listening to this song over and over again.
Edit* something I noticed about "Folk" (go figure) is that they sound almost fifty million times better live. And I don't say this because I "lol i went to live show." No. Most members play multiple instruments and you can actually hear everyone than just the lead singer. Lumineers live is no joke. Lord Huron was even better - raised the guitar much louder than what's in the vinyl, which is much better than what is in the mp3. Yeah. YEAH! Love this song anyway.
-
The Conan the Barbarian OST. Because it is totally boss.
-
Los Campesinos! - By Your Hand.
-
Los Campesinos! - Life is a Long Time.
-
Macklemore- White Walls
-
Amon Amarth - Deceiver of the Gods.
So their new album is about Loki. Fuck yes.
-
Ayreon - Comatose
Probably my favorite song of theirs.
-
Floyd Thursby and The Definite Article: The Lover's Twist
-
Haha! Finally someone else I pimped that to checked them out. What do you think?
Amon Amarth - Under Siege.
-
Daft Punk - Daftendirekt
-
I recall you suggesting (and sending) Silversun Pickups. If you did suggest them, spot-on because I like them anyway. [-:
The Tallest Man on Earth - The Drying of the Lawns
-
Daft Punk - Robot Rock
-
Daft Punk - Technologic
I CAN'T STOP BOBBING MY HEAD.
-
Daft Punk - Give Life Back To Music
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
-
It was only a matter of time.
-
:)
You would say that.
-
Silversuns are a band I love and am embarrassed how long it took me to find out about. So yes, would have been hyping them as well.
As for Snow. Are you fucking serious? GO. WATCH. INTERSTELLA 555 RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW.
-
Debussy - Preludes Heft I #1: Danseuses de Delphes
-
Los Campesinos! - Songs About Your Girlfriend.
-
:)
You would say that.
I am accustomed to waiting years for you to acknowledge cool things.
-
Being accustomed to failure doesn't mean you have to tolerate it.
Eskimo Joe - How Does It Feel.
-
Florence + the Machine - Drumming Song
It's crazy how ridiculously diluted this band has been by the songs which end up on the radio. This band is amazing, but I never knew because I heard radio-edited versions of the most basic songs (you know, the ones that appeal to pop audiences).
-
Florence + the Machine - Drumming Song
It's crazy how ridiculously diluted this band has been by the songs which end up on the radio. This band is amazing, but I never knew because I heard radio-edited versions of the most basic songs (you know, the ones that appeal to pop audiences).
Story of most good bands that get mainstream airplay. Especially true of Florence, the really overplayed singles almost inevitably end up being the least interesting songs in their albums when standalone.
Cocteau Twins - Frosty The Snowman
-
Blackmore's Night - Celluloid Heroes
-
I really have to go back to my initial wtf about Ceremonials. Florence had a runaway hit on that one and it is a only a step behind Nick Cave on how morbid an album it is. While thing is filled with tracks about death and drowning. Only reason it isn't more morbid than Nick Cave's Murder Ballads for me is because that album has no subtext like Ceremonials and as disturbing as drowning is it can't beat the track a out implied rape and murder, Kindness of Strangers.
Both Florence albums are fantastic and I highly reccomend them both along with the Live MTV album they have. Her voice is that good out of the studio too.
The Charge Group - Lunar Module.

Smashing Pumpkins: Thirty-Three
Possibly a number of significance on this 26th of August.
-
Daft Punk - Technologic
It may not seem like it, but I got to listen to Random Access Memories today. Probably the best in their short discography (yeah, I tried the other ones too).
-
David Bowie - Cactus
The letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead.
-
Guys, guys, guys! Big news! I found a Japanese band that isn't complete total garbage! And aren't completely instrumental!
東京事変 - 女の子は誰でも (Tokyo Incidents - That Woman is Anybody) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tTkCZzRx5Q&list=PL4q8J03g9LzZ5UmnwZp32flmj_EmAjIp8)
Unfortunately a lot of their songs use a lot of English sometimes so I can't really use it for my immersion project, but dang this woman can sing.
-
The uploader has not made this video available to gaijin internets.
Daft Punk - Technologic
It may not seem like it, but I got to listen to Random Access Memories today. Probably the best in their short discography (yeah, I tried the other ones too).
It's funny that you say this agreeable thing while pimping out what is quite possibly my least favorite Daft Punk song.
-
I totally get why you wouldn't like Technologic (I'm actually surprised I -DO-). Sometimes, repetition by right just nabs me, though. Something about the insane procedural mantra just grabs me.
Daft Punk - Emotion
-
I want to build a time machine so I can go back in time and punch you while you are still in the womb. That way you will have an excuse for being so fucking slow.
-
I give no fucks. I listen to music when I -want- to.
-
Hey guyzzzzz have you heard of this James Morrison and these Doors that he is in a band with? Preeeeeetty cool you guys. I really look forward to hearing how he develops as an artist.
Edit - I have a theory and since I don't have Snow's twitter name I have no idea where else to put it I will place it here.
The ultimate act of expression of being a gay hipster would be the day Snow ironically masturbates to Pro Wrestling as softcore porn. If he did so be may also join a Wrestling RP board where his special move would be Five Fisted Death Fuck.
-
Probably pin people with a German Suplex called Autofelatio.
Dan Bern - Jerusalem.
Welcome to Night Vale Weather track.

In Flames - Super Hero of the Computer Rage.
Still unironically the most Grefter.mp3

zzzzzzzzz
What's the point, there's actual porn on the internet.
Daft Punk - Touch
-
To do it ironically you terrible fucking hipster. "This porn is so dumb I can only get half hard. What a disappointing orgasm. I hope your cat doesn't eat it."
Daft Punk - Aerodynamic Beats/Forget About the World.
The fact that you aren't talking about Aerodymanic or anything on Alive 2007 talking about how amazing that is (not NEARLY enough Discovery in your hype) is further proof of your abject failure on this.
-
zzzzzzzzz
See above quote.

Natalie Maines - Free Life

I dunno if it is their best, but still good advice.
Bertie Blackman - Growl Howl.
Get this. Listen to this.
-
The Chordettes - Lollipop

I've been listening to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes' new album. It's a generally solid, folksy and fun.

Various things that I don't need to link you to (everyone knows Daft Punk and Britney Spears and Krewella exist, yes? Good).
This however:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wQgcWtlqMk
This has 700 views total. And I think I account for at least 70 of those. And it's not even a style of music I normally get into, it's just so good that it encourages me to branch out.

Los Campesinos! - Minor Emotional Breakdown #1.
-
Beethoven: Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun duuun dun-dun~
-
Cocteau Twins - Smile
-
Loreena McKennitt - Standing Stones
This one always stands out to me when it comes on, for all that I tend to forget about it when I'm not listening to it. It's like "oh yeah, I really like this one!" and then...it never sticks in my memory afterwards. Kinda odd.
-
Datsik - Bonafide Hustler (Trap VIP)

Seventh Symphony is their best album, I don't care what the aiel says (and neither should you).
Worlds Collide is better, no matter your vile lies.

E: The Jezabels- Endless Summer
they are super catchy and the lyrics are good. Expect I'm preaching to the choir here though.
-
To the like two of us that listen to them anyway. Also not constantly posting about Mace Spray. Doing it wrong.
Buy the album and all the EPs just for the cover art because that shit is fantastic.

Tonic - If You Could Only See
yeah old school
I have awful awful memories of my freshman-year roommate playing this song in reference to a girl he had no intention of doing anything with beyond banging her once and forgetting about her and acting like it was totally profound. Thank you for reviving these awful memories LD. I am not sure whether that was better or worse than the neighbor who would blare The Freshmen on loop for literally hours on end.
People with awful taste in music have haunted me all my life.
-
The Jezabels- Mace Spray
So yeah, listening to this a bunch. You'd be proud Grefter, I got someone I haven't met before (Friend of a friend) to listen to and get hooked on the band on facebook.

Arcade Fire - You Already Know
Holy crap, this is what happens when Arcade Fire decides to drown in early '80s Bowie and Motown so far. GUESS HOW ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT THIS IS (answer: omgyes).
-
A Fine Frenzy - Rangers
I think I've hyped this before, but this band is really good. Kind of upbeat and mellow at the same time, a blend I'm really fond of.
-
Thanks to Andrew playing Step Mania and downloading songs, I have been introduced to speedcore. This is precisely the kind of music I like to turn my brain off to. It's great to put on in the background while I'm working, or to listen to while working out.
The danger for me is in stepping up to terrorcore or higher: that many BPMs is awesome, but is going to get fatiguing if I listen to this repeatedly and for any great length of time.
Also, terrorcore (and some speedcore) is a little closer to death metal than I'd like a lot of the time. That is, despite being samples and remixes, it focuses a lot on topics I'd rather avoid, and it dodges too close to atonality to be any fun. Occasionally I get a good one -- completely random -- that samples from Family Guy, but more often it's stuff like "eat shit and die" and "listen you fuckers". Which, you know, ugh.
Where's my happy fun-times terrorcore?!
EDIT: lol. ask and ye shall receive. This one is remixing "It's a Small World" and voice clips from Anchorman.
-
The Jezabels- Endless Summer
This may be my favorite new band I've heard in ages.
-
Beethoven: 3rd Symphony
Take that, Napoleon.
It amuses me that Beethoven freaked out over Napoleon crowning himself emperor when he himself went through life sticking a "von" in his name to proclaim noble birth he didn't actually have. Balanced the man was not. (He got away with it anyway because Beethoven.)
-
I meant to reply to this all day but haven't had a chance to actually listen to music so here is just a straight up response.
I think you are mixing up the emotional content than the lyrical content of metal there a bit Ash. Like I have mentioned in the past, Parkway Drive - Atlas is pretty much an album that is all about being more green and how we are killing the world. It is essentially a pretty positive album all up (a few songs of YOLO Carpe Diem lets fucking party all night stuff), but its metal, so it sounds super angry. Even speed metal stuff can have some breadth from your Slayer Raining Blood/Three Inches of Blood songs about killing a bunch of orcs to stuff like Parkway (and this is ignoring the amazing high fantasy epics of more melodic stuff that is easy to find like Nightwish. Who cover Phantom of the Opera and sing about fucking Tolkien and shit).
That said, totally understand wanting to avoid that kind of emotional content as well as some of the lyrical content.
I would actually recommend digging back into the past about 10 or so years and finding a genre called Happy Hardcore. It is high BPM dance tracks that is pretty much everyone pretending to be a Japanese Teenage Girl. It may as well be Hello Kitty converted into music form and pumped full of sugar.
I can't really vouch for any artists directly in the genre, but related band that I can pimp out is Happyland (uses Happy Hardcore aesthetic and more standard pop tunes). They have one album and should give you an idea of the flavour at least. They are a mash up of two other local Aussie bands that are great but not really in the genre (Regurgitator are electronic stuff, Spiderbait are a good rock group that when they have their female singer tend to be very upbeat (sounding).
-
Empire of the Sun - DNA
-
Arcade Fire - It's Never Over (Oh Orpheus)
I might listen to some other album in like December at this rate.
-
Opeth - Heritage
Definitely like this band better when they aren't being as death metal.
-
Arcade Fire - Afterlife
Oh dear god.
-
Arcade Fire - Flashbulb Eyes
Not sure how to feel about this album.
-
Like most double-albums, they safely could've axed 30% of the material and cut it down to one disc. I do like the first disc in general (though Flashbulb Eyes is a pointless blob of white noise) but found the second to be pretty throwaway on first listen.
-
Amended somewhat on second listen, Supersymmetry can stay and Afterlife is genuinely good. Rest of the second disc is fluff!
-
Opeth - Hope Leaves
-
Like most double-albums, they safely could've axed 30% of the material and cut it down to one disc. I do like the first disc in general (though Flashbulb Eyes is a pointless blob of white noise) but found the second to be pretty throwaway on first listen.
Second album is -glorious- and has pretty much the best songs in the collection. And I actually disagree with you - I don't think I could axe a single song in Reflektor, even though it's fucking -longer- than The Suburbs (and that one could stand to lose a third of its songs for absolutely no loss). Reflektor's probably the least inviting album they've made on first listen by far, but it -really- starts sticking with you as you delve into it. But then, I spent a full week listening to nothing but that album in order to collect impressions, so YMMV.
This Mortal Coil - The Lacemaker
Self-recursive.
-
Hole - Awful.

Your opinions are different from mine*. You're weird.
(*Well, other than "a third of The Suburbs was fluff.")
-
Eskimo Joe - Setting Sun.

I'd say give it time anyway. Reflektor takes a while to digest - even longer than The Suburbs. And, well, Arcade Fire has -never- done an album where the first impressions are what you get.
-
Hole - Awful.
:)
-
I legit straight up love Hole. They are great. Courtney Love is amazingly self aware though.
Hole - Use Once & Destroy.
-
The Jezabels- The End
The Brink's out in a few months, yay.
-
The Pogues - Young Ned of the Hill
This one really drives in how different the Pogues sound with and without McGowan for me. I keep forgetting it's a Pogues song at all most of the time it comes on.
-
lil wayne rich as fuck
-
<3
Guano Apes - All Mine.
-
Ellie Gouldiing - Salt Skin
Probably my favorite song of hers.
-
Amon Amarth - Siegreicher Marsch (Victorious March).
Helicopter all day. Helicopter every day.
-
Pet Shop Boys - Left To My Own Devices
-
Warren Zevon: I Was In the House When the House Burned Down
-
The Fray - Cable Car.
-
Pet Shop Boys - I'm Not Scared
-
That is actually a good idea. Yes.
Pet Shop Boy - Did You See Me Coming.
-
Actually I think I have a theme going here.
Pet Shop Boys - What Have I Done To Deserve This.
-
These guys really are pretty fundamental part of any music collection that has stuff from the 80s onwards.
Pet Shop Boys - I Made My Excuses And Left.
Theme goes a series of songs that is each Snow, Super and Grefter as fuck. Guess which is which.
Pro tip, it is the same as I just listed them.

Protip, this goes for any order.
-
What is a Pet Shop Boys. Can you eat it.
Rush: Distant Early Warning
-
Everything means something, and something has occurred~
-
What is a Pet Shop Boys. Can you eat it.
Something you might appreciate even though it's synthesizer musak.
Arcade Fire - It's Never Over (Oh Orpheus)
-
Cid listens to Peter Gabriel. Synth is not a problem.
-
Dixie Chicks - Lullaby
-
Cocteau Twins - Suckling The Mender
-
Pet Shop Boys - Ego Music
Sense of entitlement, sense of entitlement~
-
All India Radio - Lightship.
-
Arcade Fire - Normal Person
-
Ha
-
The Sword - Tres Brujas.
Concept album about space ships. Of course it has Macbeth references.
-
Dixie Chicks - Long Way Around
<3 Dixie Chicks music definitely speaks to my heart as a liberal from a red state.
-
Electric Six - Iron Dragon
The iron dragon is a real bitch.
-
Partynextdoor - Break from Toronto
-
Faye Wong - Doomsday
Chinese dream pop.
-
The Sword - The Chronomancer II: The Nemesis.
I am trying to get some work done. As soon as this came on I couldn't get fucking anything done. Urge to headbang too strong. These guys are fucking brilliant and Warp Riders is SUCH a great album.
-
A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Wake Up, Pretty
-
The Sword - Astraea's Dream.
-
Christmas music. Christmas music all the times. Whee~
Also, I've caved and started using Spotify. Their clever ploy of letting me play with premium for free for a month is working - I may just suck it up and pay the $10 a month to listen to most of the songs I'd care to listen to, unlimited, with no ads. Hmmm...
-
Cid's theme, rock remix. FF7 music rules.
-
Voices of a Distant Star OST: Through the Years and Far Away
*Cid melts into a blubbering mess*
*Cid contemplates giving someone VoaDS for Christmas, spits hot chocolate* Jesus Christ, $60 new? ...Goddammit why is everything Shinkai out of print in this country. That's just criminal.
-
Evanescence - Your Star.
While I play WA5. Is this what feels like to be 22 year old Ciatos?
-
A big man with a mustache! WA5 doesn't fit very well with emo though~
-
Elton John - Levon
Probably my favorite EJ song. It's 42 years old?!
-
Bernie Taupin's lyrics made no goddamn sense but you didn't care because EJ was so good at writing songs (for a few years, until suddenly he wasn't anymore). My personal favorite is Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (because Cid loves the epic jams, huge shock).
-
Spineshank - Synthetic.
-
Apocalyptica: Fight Against Monsters
So this is like the fifth brand-new album I have picked up this year. That is a high number for me! Most of the people I like are dead or disbanded (I think the only new release I bought in 2012 was the latest Rush album). Anyway this is like an hour of Apocalyptica covering Wagner. It is pretty much exactly the manner of glorious noise one should expect.
EDIT: wait there's Beethoven on here too. *head explodes*
-
Which album? Is there one I missed?
The Fray - Ungodly Hour.
-
Wagner Reloaded, what it says on the tin (plus some other stuff because what the hell), live album + orchestra. It is kind of a weird hodgepodge but I like it on first listen. Fairly recent release, I think?
-
Arcade Fire - Afterlife
Yeah I dig the last three songs and the first two on this album a lot. The others I can take or leave.
-
Like most double albums, it might've been great if it was only half as long.
~
Apocalyptica: Fight Against Monsters
I keep listening to the album opener tracks then stopping at this song and going, "Shit, I want to hear that again." I never do this! The record basically feels like an extended final boss suite. Given that the Cid mainlines melodrama, this is totally fine by me.
-
Xandria - A Prophesy for Worlds to Fall
A band like Nightwish? Yeah sure.
-
Apocalyptica: Creation of Notes
This is actually just Worlds Collide with an orchestra. This is Worlds Collide with an orchestra!
-
A metal band playing with an orchestra? What a weird idea.
Adam Warrock - I am Him.
-
Beyonce - Blow
O.O *clutches the nearest pearl*
-
Meister - Above the Clouds.
-
Adam Warrock - Bad Mother (Villainy).
My jam obviously. This album continues to be amazing 3 years down the track. Finding out today that you can stream it all on Bandcamp and that it autoplays the next track in an album saved this morning at work because I keep forgetting to upload it to my mp3 player.
-
Sixpence none the richer- Silent Night
-
Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd - Moon, Swallow Me
-
Jamiroquai - Journey to Arnhemland
-
Blue Oyster Cult: Don't Fear the Reaper
Extraterrestrial Live is a pretty rad collection.
-
Divinyls - I'm Jealous.
-
Silverchair- In the year 2000
Fitting song for the end of the year.
-
Empire of the Sun - Awakening.
-
Of Montreal - Like a Tourist
-
I like the visuals of the natural thumbs tradition. It's type of a conventional traditional fictional system that's seen quite some use in a few performs from my child years. Strange that Siouxsie and the Banshees would tug -that- type of storage sequence in me, but so it goes.
#grefter
Cocteau Twins - She Will Destroy You
-
Nero - Promises.
-
Sounds like someone's living in the past.
Contemporize, man!
-
Fine.
Negative pH - Vapor.
This came out yesterday.
-
Dead Can Dance - Summoning Of The Muse
Speaking of living in the past.
-
Hey Dhyer, I found some music you might like. There's a woman-fronted fantasy metal band called Xandria if you are still into that stuff :)
-
FFX OST- People of the North Pole
-
DoD3 - Kuroi Uta
Emi Evans! Emi Evans!
