so guys amon tobin is like the cleverest fucker in the world and i can't stop from loving his music to death.
the soundtrack for Chaos Theory, the Bridge, From Out Somewhere, Adventures in Foam - everything he's ever done is brilliant, and he's officially my favourite ever.
this might change next month but I've been like this since February so whatever _________________

Out From Out Where is the first album I heard of him and it's also my favorite.
I recently tried to find a TaQ album that he released for free, Bounce Connected, since he's the only bemani artist that is enjoyable in my book. Anyone else have/know where to find this? _________________

ships all over the world
and what, no one here pirates music? i buy lots of albums too, but only when i listen to them first. i ain't gonna shell out for something someone recommend but i haven't heard. or only heard one song off the album. i learned my lesson a long time ago.
dhex im trying to track down some of the albums with songs from your mix, it's not easy it seems. _________________

i haven't bought a (new) album in years. i frequent a specific local consignment store and buy CDs there for like $2-$4 a pop...
(but I, like most other people, have been known to download music as well)
my fiancee has a napster account, but she hates it. _________________

yeah, napster's still around.
it's not bad, if you're into itunes-esque services that aren't itunes.
if you're at all tech-savvy or know what you're doing you can also pay for one month or get a one-month free trial, download a huge pile of music, and strip the DRM protection using a program like tunebite.
and then cancel that shit. _________________

Soulseek's actually pretty good.
Or that's what I've found when I'm downloading royalty-free library music and bootleg recordings of trains and birdsong. |

Jay-Z's latest, American Gangster, is fine, but not more than that. It's too easy. I like him much better on the Black Album or the Blueprint where he sounds hungrier.
Lupe Fiasco's new one is bloated. Man needs an editor, and fast. I do love the cut "Dumb It Down," though.
I'm really still stuck on In Rainbows. It's been three months now. Excepting the last song, what a lovingly constructed album! It's as though they were never content to play the same sound twice on it. Somehow, their hooks avoid repetition, although they get repeated. _________________ Like you thought you'd seen copter perverts before. They were nothing compared to this one. |

I like the recent Jay-Z track Hello Brooklyn which samples the Beastie Boys track, also called Hello Brooklyn, but turns their indulgent 808 weirdness into a serviceable and amazing Laffy Taffy-sort of beat. I don't know what you call that sort of beat. Crunk? |

Dude the 808 on that track is from a beastie boys record about 15 years before the invention of crunk
Also the Roland 808 IS a drum machine |

In the process of putting my foot in my mouth as hard as I possibly could, I was describing the style of what I heard, not its origins or where it fits into some sort of official hip-hop timeline. Still, that doesn't make my toes taste any better. And my ears are burning. _________________ Like you thought you'd seen copter perverts before. They were nothing compared to this one. |

It also fetches better than $100 EBAY DOLLARS (i know; i briefly tried bidding last time a copy came up) and is hopelessly out of print, so I wouldn't feel bad about downloading it. The rest of the Treader catalog is really good though, and worth spending real money on. _________________ "Worlds turn the new machine to thee. To thee. Though, thine the new machine space."

Jonny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood counters most of the images on screen--or at least, it appears to counter the images on screen until the second half of the movie. It's big, off-kilter, overwhelming, and perfect for the film. I haven't listened to it on its own yet.
In other news, Andre 3000 is still the best rapper alive, and Big Boi isn't too far behind. Da Art of Storytellin pt. 4 is sweeter than a plate of yams with extra syrup. _________________ Like you thought you'd seen copter perverts before. They were nothing compared to this one. |

Holy smokes is this soundtrack ever great to listen to. Well, the score from the second half of the film is much more enjoyable, or maybe easier to enjoy is a better way to say it. Most of the earlier score is very overwhelming, but in a very enjoyable way. It's intense! Brings your arm hairs to electric attention. "Countering the images" from the film is a great way to describe it too.
Definitely worth it.

Been going back to my older stuff lately. Getting a huge bunch of satisfaction from James Taylor.
I keep setting Asobi Seksu's 'Citrus' and Ladyhawk on repeat, though.
I get up to Asobi Seksu, and wind down/thrash out my remaining energy for the day to Ladyhawk _________________ * Me Profile * Me Blog * Me Photos * |

Chuck Berry is really smart (in the sense of intelligent + crisp) dumb old rock n' roll (in the sense of being very rooted in the guitar-driven boogie-blues form). The delight with which he plays guitar and writes lyrics is palpable in almost every song you listen to. Nifty riffs, extra notes for their own, joyful sake, and energetic strum-solos characterize the musicianship. His words thrive on the punchline. You can find a perfect example in the song "No Particular Place to Go," which describes a radio-fueled joyride with a cute girl in the passenger seat until a horrible mishap: she can't unfasten her seatbelt when she wants to leave!
"All the way home I held a grudge/for the safety-belt that wouldn't budge."
If I were a rock star (which, while I'm driving a car or shaving, I often am) I would cover Chuck Berry at least once per concert.

I had to look that up
Quote: |
1.A certain attitude often accompanied by a squinty look and a superior smile that makes you instantly hate a person. Similar to snobby.
He/she/it is totally smarmy, I want to punch them in the face.
2.
Cheesy, pretentious, not as attractive as one thinks one is and/or greasy and slimy.
3.
Similar to slimey, but with an air of innocence and similar to kiss-ass, but with out the obviousness. Typically, a male, who gives brief but strong focussed attention to a number of females, often in the work-place, that is drippingly sweet, but carries the occasional lame sexual innuendo that is immediately retracted by a childlike expression. A man, usually a co-worker, or person in contact with large group of female potentials, with puppy-dog eyes, offering an insincere concern and easy compliments, who has (not-so-)hidden agenda accompanyiing his actions and conversation. Easy to discern for the experienced or for those who trust their intuition. Preys most easily on young and vulnerable. Is not harmful, but had own best interests at heart, which usually involve sex, or in the very least, creating self-directed admiration. |
Man, is that how I come off |

The only guy I've ever known who could be described as 'smarmy' was this guy in uni called Daniel David, and he was as big a creep as I ever met, and if I'm like him in any sense I need to change my ways immediately. So thanks |

hey guys so i re-re-re-re-rediscovered PJ Harvey recently and have decided i want to be like her when i grow up
...
i have also been listening to a lot of ministry lately. Psalm 69 is probably their best album.. it seems like a lot of their earlier (and later!) material is more metal and less industrial. industrial tends to be what i like, so less makes me sad.
...
i also really like the skinny puppy video, pro-test. never saw it before a couple days ago, and it's generally very amusing. _________________

twitch and the mind is a terrible thing to taste are hot. i'm not so into everything else though.
i don't know if i've ever made it through the whole puppy video. i usually just pretend they half-finished the process and never spoke to each other ever again. and then listen to last rights over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
that reminds me to go pick up the new download (from last year) and whatever they've put out as plateau lately.
i am kinda diggin' on wolves in the throne room and burning witch. the former is like explosions in the sky with balls and the latter is pretty interesting, despite my not ever having liked sunn. _________________

No, that's attaining power, you fool! Both Mao and Richey Manic will back me up on that one!
That and everyone ever is living proof.
Besides, they said it, not me:
Quote: | Founder Efrin Menuck declared that the band had become untenable due to “an existential freakout” relating to the Iraq war…
“The last American tour that Godspeed did was in the run up to the current war in Iraq. For what Godspeed did, it was very difficult for us to work out a way to communicate directly with the audience about what was going on… We could talk to people after the shows, or we could make announcements from the stage, but so much what Godspeed was, was one-way communication, and I had an existential freakout about that, that those tactics aren’t valid anymore.” |
Guns are pretty definitive, though! _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |
