You're turning into a little hippie aren't you. ;)

The band Neutral Milk Hotel totally sucks.

[QUOTE=Zappa]The band Neutral Milk Hotel totally sucks.[/QUOTE]:lol: I like them, but at times when I try to analyze the music, I'll stop and think "What the hell am I listening to?"

That whole E6 label is just evil though... (even though I happen to really like most of the bands)

Anyway, lately the album I've been listening to the most is Dorothy Ashby's "afro Harping". I'm playing a song in jazz band that sounds similar to one of the songs, so listening to this album is such a great excuse of "mental practice".

^^^ No way man.

Oh, I'm sorry that my opinion's wrong. Assuming that you were referring to the E6 comment:

You see, while I really like most of the music on the E6 label, I greatly dislike how people worhsip a [i]label[/i]. They're the pride and joy of every closed minded indie kid, and it annoys me that apparently if you dislike one of the bands on that whole label, your opinion is suddenly invalid. So why did I call it evil? Simply for the fact that, in terms of music, it makes the narrow minded think they're even more high and mighty.

I was actually referring to Zappa's comment dude.

Back on topic.

I've been really getting back into X-Japan these last couple of days. Rusty Nail, Art Of Life, Crucify My Love.....I forgot just how d[size=2]a[/size]mn good they are.

X-Japan? Never heard of them. What are they like?

I borrowed from the library:

Ani Difranco - [I]So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter[/I]
Tori Amos - [I]Little Earthquakes[/I]
The Cure - Greatest Hits
Kyuss - [I]..And the Circus Leaves Town[/I]

You have a cool librabry.

Yes we do, and I haven't even fully searched the shelves yet.


Ooh, so that's where your name came from. :awe:

Hahah, indeed.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]X-Japan? Never heard of them. What are they like?[/QUOTE]
Japan's biggest selling hard rock/metal act ever. They've got elements of power, speed, neo-classical (real classical, not Yngwie s[SIZE=2]h[/SIZE]it) and prog in their sound too. The faster tracks are really anthemic, the slower ones really emotional and epic. Really addictive stuff.

Art Of Life is over 29 minutes long, and it's an absolute masterpiece. All in English, too. Piano solo takes a little getting used to though.

You said Power Metal... those words make me soft.

I'm back the Beach Boys again. Wild Honey and Smiley Smile are really cool.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]You said Power Metal... those words make me soft.[/QUOTE]
I say Power Metal because they're very melodic, accessible, and have a cult-hero lead guitarist. They don't sing about dragons. As far as I can tell, anyway, I don't speak Japanese.

Don't listen to this buffoon, X-Japan isn't worth your time man.

J-rock (and J-metal)... Ugh.

DISCLAIMER: The "Ugh." expressed above doesn't apply to cool groups like Sigh or Melt Banana. Rock/metal from Japan doesn't automatically = J-rock/metal.

^You two are as elitist as ever I notice.

What about Utada Hikaru? Nyahaha

I put on a tough exterior, but I'm a softy at heart.

Was he talkin' 'bout me aswell?

I've been listening to Aphex Twin-26 mixes for cash (wierd, but in a good way) and Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains (still have not decided if its better than primus).

[QUOTE=Happymeal]Kyuss - [I]..And the Circus Leaves Town[/I][/QUOTE]
Is that CD any good? Because I can get it for pretty cheap here.

^^^ It is very, very good. My favourite Kyuss album - you'll like it.

Interpol
ATDI

Kaddisfly
Minus the Bear
Q and not U
The Faint
Cafe Tacuba... eventhough I don't speak spanish
TV on the Radio
Badly Drawn Boy

Aphex Twins creates some very bizarre music, but in the fuzzy artsy, listen to it with your girlfriend kind of music... I have also wonder which is better myself, but I have a soft spot for Primus, I kind of grew up listening to them, sooo... yeah, I think I Primus guy myself, but it's still claypool... the guy's never going to be boring, that's for sure

I'm also fond of Netural Milk Hotel myself, I'm not sure why really... but, i just am... like, I'm not really all that into super heavy music, but I still listen to the blood brothers... it's strange really... then again though, i used to be a metalhead, i think i've still got the same funny bone
