[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]You lucky Bastard! Mastodon [I]and[/I] the Icky Line!! Where are you? That must be one cool venue.[/QUOTE]

It seems all the big up and coming acts come to my local venue (which is in Holland, in my hometown, about a 5 minute walk away). Not too long ago, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri gigged there too...it was awesome.


The Darkness and The Hives played there before they made it big too.

^^^ Man you are lucky!!!


I had no idea you were into metal like Mastodon. Learn something new every day, don't you?

I'm into QOTSA and Kyuss. I've also been listeing to "Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine on and off this week.

what would you recommend by QOTSA?

Have a look in the thread, Tangy posted a heap of songs, just get those.

OK right now i'm getting rocked by Neil Young, which I didn't really expect. I've only got the "Harvest" album, but it's pretty **** good.

And I've also been listening to My Morning Jacket, Galaxie 500, the Grateful Dead, and a bit of Paul McCartney.

I've been listening to Ben Kweller

Today I checked out.

Lightning Bolt
Elliot Smith

Both pretty cool.

^^ Elliott Smith is a good choice......Roman Candle particular fav of mine

I really gotta get around to checking out Elliot. I'll do it tomorrow.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]I really gotta get around to checking out Elliot. I'll do it tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

There's ... No ... TIME ... MAN!!!

Check him out now you crazy crazy fool.

Dude, it's 11:30 and I'm dead, I'd rather listen to him when I'm awake and responsive. I'll download some of his songs now and listen to him tomorrow.

Crap, I just read that he killed himself last year. Well that totally sucks. I hate hearing about suicide. It's sucks beyond words.

:upset: x10000

and I haven't even heard him yet...

ROONEY!
Rooney is one of the greatest bands that have yet to be really noticed!

i like pixies mmmmmmm

they are kinda noticed, i saw them in concert on the 4th and there was a huge crowd, but yeah, i've been digging them, and i also saw jet put out a great performance, so i'm back into digging jet. i also enjoy the redwalls- great band, THEY'RE yet to be really noticed.

I'm really liking the Tony Sly half of the [I]Tony Sly/Joey Cape Acoustic EP[/I], very cool stuff.

I'm listening to a lot of acoustic stuff. Nick Drake, Ani DiFranco (particularly the song "Swan Dive") and Damien Rice.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]I'm really liking the Tony Sly half of the [I]Tony Sly/Joey Cape Acoustic EP[/I], very cool stuff.[/QUOTE]

That's awesome. I want that Album so bad, Except i prefer the Joey Cape side, as Lagwagon are one of my alltime favourite bands. I've been digging on my downloaded songs off that.

I've also been really diggin [B]Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker[/B]

Brilliant.

I try to check out as many of the bands that I have not already heard posted on here. I got some songs by The Icarus Line and I can't say much more then WOW!!!

[QUOTE=Tapeworm]I've also been really diggin [B]Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker[/B]

Brilliant.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, ive had it a while but ive only recently in the last few months been listening to it, its top quality stuff.

Yeah, it's even better than I remember it being.

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

I've almost given up on alternative rock...until I heard this very interesting track called "Another Morning Stoner". Which of their albums should I buy? I'm leaning towards Source Tags & Codes...I'm downloading heaps of material. I need advice from you vet AYWKUBTTOD-junkies.

Get Source Tags and Codes. It is absolutely brilliant.

I've fallen in love with this band. Personally, I think they are the best alternative rock band (excluding QOTSA) around at the moment. Like Sonic Youth, they can make their instruements work for them and do what they want. They aren't super virtuoso's( they could be?) but they still manage to craft epic, spacey, hard rocking songs.

Truely awesome band.

Couldn't agree more. Go and get Source Tags and Codes right now, it is completely awesome. Actually, I haven't listened to that for a while. I shall have to listen to it soon.

Source tags and codes is a really underrated album, it has a lot of energy...i have an urge to listen to it right now

Coheed and Cambria. The whole "Silent Earth" album is awesome, and my favorite song is probably "The Crowing." Check it out, if you haven't been bugged to listen to it already!

I finally found some Cows songs and by golly they ROCK.

The Cows are so good. It takes so long to find their songs though.

Something about [U]CocoRosie[/U]...

[U]Tilly and the Wall[/U]: Saddle Creek (Well, actually "Team Love", but meh) band, really interesting hippy pop. This band even has a tap-dancer. It grows on you.

[U]Mirah[/U]: Just a really amazing group all around, the vocals are extremely good and the music keeps you hooked, unlike some of the bland stuff we have to deal with these days.

[U]Shannon Wright[/U]: Her music is kind of dark. You might like it, you might not. I can't ever predict the response I'm going to get when I let my friends in on this artist.

As you can probably tell, I've sort of had a craving for female vocals lately. About time... besides Azure Ray, Metric, and maybe a couple other exceptions, the last band I was listening to with a female singing was No Doubt, and that was back when they were still putting out decent music. :)

I'm listening to Q And Not U...

*spooges*

iv'e been listening to elliot smith, Radiohead, The Casual Dots,Unwound,Rites Of spring , tortoise new cd "it's all around" really good.

I've been hearing a lot of:
Muse
Bad Religion
Catch 22
Blue Oyster Cult
Streetlight Manifesto
& Atreyu/From Autumn to Ashes(i don't normally like metal-core/hardcore w/e it's called music but my friend just moved in and that's his style .. and F.A.T.A. is actually pretty cool

[QUOTE=IhateUsernames]I'm listening to Q And Not U...

*spooges*[/QUOTE]

I have been meaning to get some stuff by them. I got "Recreation Myth" and I thought it was pretty good, but I have heard amazing things about these guys. What would you recommend?

SUPER PEER IS A FAGGOT. He told Sting-ray to ban me coz i put a naughty pic in a thread. FVCK YOU SUPERPEER

[QUOTE=Tapeworm]I have been meaning to get some stuff by them. I got "Recreation Myth" and I thought it was pretty good, but I have heard amazing things about these guys. What would you recommend?[/QUOTE]

Basically everything off the album [i]No Kill No Beep Beep[/i] is awesome. Heres some songs:

Book Of Flags
No Kill No Beep Beep
A Line In The Sand
Fever Sleeves
Sleeping The Fever Code

I've actually never heard a Q And Not U song that I ddin't love.

i'm going back to Pearl Jam's "ten" album. other than that, i've been listening to the "mansbestfriend" album by sole

ive been checking out Rush lately...

I don't understand the fuss about Coheed...I don't find them all that impressive. Maybe I'm missing the point.

Nevertheless, I've been digging alot of Faith No More, Melvins, Trail Of Dead, At The Drive-In, Pixies and Mondo Generator lately...I'm into rocking hard these days instead of the artsy experimental stuff that usually dominates my eardrums.

I haven't been so much into rock music since my mid teens when I still listened to alot of Jane's Addiction, Tool, Death Cab For Cutie and Smashing Pumpkins records (although I've pretty much outgrown these bands since I became 18 or so).

^^^
I never knew you were a Melvins fan! Good work!

With the Coheed thing, they seem like the Pixies...a great band, but terribly overrated
