i'm listening to destroyer's rubies right now

i don't likw the dude's voice

okay the first song on this album totally blows chunks

it's a little better now

as in, almost decent

I love Destroyer's Rubies, it's really euphoric.

maybe if the singer wasn't so ****ing annoying and they were a little less bland

and knew when to end songs

i need to buy christmas gifts (aka CDs) soon what should i get???

myself: i need two albums and i'm not sure what they should be. welp, you guys know my taste so tell me what i need to buy (not merely download but OWN)

brother 1: metalcore and real emo/screamo, but maybe also some of that dismemberment plan/minus the bear dancey indie rock.

brother 2: r&m technical metal/ prog-loving dork

HALP

Its sweet.

[QUOTE=Bartender;13778486]Bill Withers - Just As I Am is another album that looks like it isn't going to do well in the 65-74 list, but probably should. Most people are probably familiar with "Ain't No Sunshine", but it's far from the only great song on there. At least half the record's up to its standard, and the other half are good enough in themselves.[/QUOTE]

Never heard this, but I'll try to. I've got a best of but I've never really investigated Withers properly.

I'm currently compiling a collection of 2006 deadest musicians. So I've been listening to some Buck Ownes, Syd Barrett and Ali Farka Toure in attempts to decide which songs to throw on for them. And for somenoe reason I wanted to hear "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" right now, so I just played that.

I've come to the conclusion that "The Manifold Curiosity" is one of the most badass songs ever.

You've got some pretty good opinions on the other page there, E.

What do you mean, sir Robert Crumb?

Rubies sucks, Son is sweet.

Yessuh.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;13781465]also guys what do you think of my new thing [url]www.myspace.com/softadvertisement[/url]

I played it all on keyboard, and I don't know how to play keyboard, but it turned out ok anyway I guess[/QUOTE]

the good thing about keyboard is as long as you have other instruments going on around it, you don't have to be good at it at all to add to the music in a good way. It's a percussion instrument :)

overall, some interesting melodies going on, but the rhythm is pretty off (i'm assuming you played all the drums on the key board too, if not, invest in a metronome or a sense of timing). another thing is the songs don't really go anywhere, but they're not finished complete songs so it's good for what it is.

i'm getting a 16 track for christmas, and im currently working on what i think will end up being the best song i've made in a while. It's full of maps-esque tapping (chill like the ongoing horrible), interesting chord progressions that remind me of mew and a crescendo that gives radiohead a run for their money.

i can't wait to record it.

thanks alot dimes make dollars it's good to see someone here who likes to make music as i've never seen you around before

Low

I'm not sure how popular these guys are, but who has heard of The Liars? I've been really loving their minimalistic sound lately..They've a very good chill yet quite haunting sound.

Liars are good.

Something's not quite right tonight. Suzanne's laying in bed, but I just can't allow myself to sleep. I'm anxious and feeling stupid. Oh well, it's given me a chance to listen to music, I guess.

Brian Eno - [i]Ambient 1[/i]
Arve Henriksen - [i]Chiaroscuro[/i]

ALSO! Shining and Arve Henriksen will both be releasing new records shortly. Shining is going to release [i]Grindstone[/i] in January and Arve is releasing [i]Strjon[/i] in February. I can't wait for either.
