[QUOTE=OrbDragon]I forgot Hermano's "Dare I Say"....fans of Afghan Wigs and Kyuss must check this band.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I got into Hermano through my Kyuss exploration. They're pretty bada[I]s[/I]s, but they get tired. Kinda like Unida.

[I]Damage[/I] is the balls. You da man, Tangsta.

[QUOTE=asymm]Here's the tracklist:

Yup, a nice portion of my list was lifted from that

There's an infomercial on now for "Classic Country Hits." I've become more and more interested in old-school country since playing San Andreas, and just listening to these samples in the commercial is great. Even though they all sound the same (except Johnny Cash), they're still pretty fun to listen to.

That reminds me... on that country station on San Andreas, there's this song about gators in the swamp or somecrap, and it's awesome. Anybody know what that song is called?

I think it was called "Amos Moses"... Maybe... I forgot who it was by.

But I agree, what little I've heard of that old school country (basically a bit of Johnny Cash plus the GTA station) is some pretty good stuff. I'd go over yonder to Soulseek and download some crap, but my soundcard died. :upset:

Anyone know any good albums that I could look into getting with the gift certificates I'm almost guaranteed to get for Christmas? Possibly compilations or best of albums, since I'm not [i]that[/i] big into country and I probably won't buy very many CDs of it in the near future...

Ive been listening to Too YOung by Phoenix all day long. Every couple minutes the opening effect pops in my head and i have to listen

The Fall Of Troy. There are oh so amazing.

lately i've been listening to The Bronx, Black Label Society, Beastie Boys, Dntel and The Strokes to name a few.

[QUOTE=Sep]The Fall Of Troy. There are oh so amazing.[/QUOTE]

tr00th. You have the demo? I can't seem to find it on slsk..

I was looking for a place to download it for a while, but couldnt find one...
so I just bought it.

every song on it is just incredible. Especially Macaulay McCulkin and Ghostship pt.v

I've been digging Damien Rice, finally. I've had his album for ages, but it never really clicked with me, but a couple of nights ago it went click. So uh, hooray. It's a really nice album.

You should definitely pick up some kind of Johnny Cash compilation. I've got a couple that are awesome, and they were both cheap as hell.

Aren't they the band that did Run, Run, Run?

Damien Rice is awesome, welcome to the club.

Today I'm really enjoying The Streets.

My girlfriend likes Damien Rice. He's not bad, once in a while.

It's "Amos Moses" by Jerry Reed. Primus did a cover of it for their Rhinoplasty EP. The original is still cool though.

Compilation/Best Of's:

[I]The Essential Johnny Cash[/I]
[I]Take it Easy - The Sound of California Vol 1[/I] (more country-rock, but its great)
Hank Williams - [I]I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry[/I]
[I]The Complete Hank Williams[/I]
[I]Columbia Country Classics Vol 1 [/I] and [I]Vol 3[/I]

Those are what I have, and they're great. I can also recommend you some single albums if you're interested.

I just downloaded a bunch of Nick Drake and Damien Rice. I'll listen to them extensively over vacation.

Thanks man (ditto to Tommyhawk for kinda helpin' back there). These will do for now, I have way too many other albums I need to get before I start getting into normal full albums of the country persuasion.

Primus: John the Fisherman. Thanks for that one, Zappa. It's a lot of fun.

Does anyone know [I]The Weakerthans[/I]? The song [I]Plea from a cat named virtue[/I] is suprisingly good, considering its meanna be by a cat.

i got a bikini kill album on vinyl yesterday, it's pretty good. just thought i'd share that with the class.

Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony.

Martina Topley-Bird - Quixotic
Elbow - Cast Of Thousands
Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People
Sugarcubes - Life's Too Good

Excellent stuff as always, Orb.

Listening to "Relationship Of Command" for the first time in a while.

The Who - "The Who Sell Out"

I like the new Phoenix album.

What could be romantic to Mike Watt?
He is only a skeleton
His body is a series of points
No height, length, or width


^That.

'Been enjoying [I]Damage[/I] and finding out some weirdo crazy metal stuff to listen to.

Minus the Bear
Shins
At the Drive-In
Tomahawk

omg i can't believe i went so long without listening to the pogues.

The Hip
 

Hey fave bands right now I would have to say are The Tragically Hip, Broken Social Scene, Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead,The Strokes, Smashing Pumpkins, Moist and of course some more Tragically Hip. Just wondering if some people could put some tragically hip drum tabs up, especially Ahead by a Century, that would make my day. Also if there are any tragically hip threads I'd be happy to be directed to them
[I]The illusions of someday casting a golden light[/I]

The Barracudas, these guys are gold. Please, if you squares know of a better band, then please tell me. I am dying to know.

Been listening to some of my old Big Star records today. They really are a maturely-appreciated band. ( sense?)

maturely?

Yeah exactly. What I mean is: I've had these albums for like 3 years, I didn't really like them then, now I do.

I'm going to believe that I'm [I]now[/I] more mature, although it's unlikely.
