Fucking Heavy.
Ocean by Collide
Very mellow song and Collide are one of my favorites, kaRIN is awesome
Danger Mouse&Sparklehorse - Little Girl
Somehow addictive.
Finally got into Bloc Party. They rock.
Listen to Hunting for Witches or Rhododendron.
Japandroids - Post Nothing
for fans of: fuzzy guitar, music that rocks
took exactly two listens to grow on me, and then I saw them in Calgary last weekend and the deal was sealed. Stitch you might wanna check this one out, if you haven't already.
Yeah, I listened to a couple of their songs back when the buzz started but wasn't blown away. Still, I didn't give them the chance good music deserves (i.e. more than one listen), so per your rec I'll download and absorb.Originally Posted by Aja
I've been listening to the fantastic new Future of the Left album, as well as Sunset Rubdown's Dragonslayer (I'm a bit gay for the Wolf Parade family tree).
I also am finding the new Mars Volta to be surprisingly listenable. It's a bit one-note, but the songs are there, at least more than they have been for awhile.
Oh yeah and DAS RACIST
Chiddy Bang - Kids (feat. MGMT)
I'm not totally sold on the rapping in the other tracks, but this one's pretty solid. Also, since when were rappers sampling power pop and Radiohead?
My Apocalypse by Arch Enemy
I don't like their older work but the new stuff with Angela is awesome \m/.
Arch Enemy bores me. Their fans look at me incredulously and try to argue that AE is awesome because it has a hot female singer and I'm like "yeah and?" Doesn't make the band any more interesting- just your run of the mill death metal band.
'U + Me =' by Dan Black.
Goddamn, I cannot stop listening to Frijid Pink. They are the awesomest, grungiest psychedelia I have heard. Highly rec'd. Then again, I used to do mountains of Heroin and tend to like slow, crushing, droning jams.

That's not the reason that I like them. I'm not really the sort of person to go for a band because of their lead singer's looks.
I suppose for me it's more about Angela's voice(I seriously haven't heard any other female metal singers growl like that) and of course their guitar work is pretty technical(they usually have a solo in every song).
Currently listening to:
Taxicab Messiah by Kidneythieves
I think this one is about reveling in Aethism.
I like their older stuff a lot better, but I can tolerate a few of their newer songs - namely off the Wages Of Sin album.
Currently listening:
Solarfall - Immortal

Now you have. The singer was a teeny tiny little blonde thing and she was 17 when that EP was made. She now sings for Khlyst, appropriately enough.
Post-metal proves that metal doesn't have to have solos to display technical skill.
Times 2. Personally I can't stand Gossow. Her growls just get tedious, there's not much variation at all.
Its all about Amorphis and Entwine these days...
Amorphis cheesy, but cheestastic!

Entwine: the chick is hot

Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Because I rewatched Manhunter the other day. (Anyone that thinks Hopkins over the top gnashing makes for a beter Lecter than Cox's coldness is wrong, wrong, wrong.)
Great song, and you raise a very interesting point: the relationship between Manhunter and Silence of the Lambs is intriguing as the books are essentially the same plot but they nailed the plight of the protagonists so well in the latter by having Clarice have no past with Lector as opposed to with Graham and their very storied past. Almost to the point I'm not so sure if you're entirely right in calling Hopkins a scene-chewer since I imagine Cox is perfectly capable of being that coy and playful manipulator that Hopkins is.
Anyway, I love both movies and both incarnations of Lector (Lektor lol) but I think the history of the protagonists and the nature of Lector's involvement is what changes the personality of Lector.
And the scene that song plays out to is indelibly etched into my cinematic consciousness. [/wank]
