That's good, I might have to check them out.

Recently I've been listening to Electric Six. Remember their weird first album from way back, well they're still going and have improved vastly. I like the style and the satirical lyrics. It's fairly easy listening but that makes it good workout music. They're well worth seeing live if you get the chance (well both gigs I've been to were good).

I've also been listening to Acid Mothers Temple, New Geocentric World. I'm still not sure about the first track, Psycho Buddah, which is a twenty-something minute freakout (though oddly moreish), but the rest is good.

I lol'd when I read that because I just saw this few days ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD5tnb2RBYg

Good song, but the video... wtf lol.

Now I'm listening to Electric Light Orchestras album Time.
I like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlILsxcp-hY, because it has one of my favorite ELO songs, and is made by one of my favorite Anime studios, Gainax (before they became Gainax).

OLA. Welcome back mate long time since I've seen you around here.

Meh I'm listening to some good and brutal Burzum songs from the 'Det Som Engang Var' (what once was) album...Norwegian Black Metal at its best and brutal.

Fozzy - Chasing the Grail.

Great stuff...

I'm listening to:


I never thought I would like a band that uses a banjo in their songs but I've really enjoyed Little Lion Man and The Cave

I've been listening to:


Evil Dub is definitely my favorite.

Currently listening to "Where is the Love?" by the Black-Eyed Peas.

While out and about, listening to the radio, some good songs came on:

Santana "Smooth" and The Corrs "Breathless." And some other songs I don't know the name of...

Probably my all-time favorite group, however, is Evanescence. I only have one of their cds, but I listen to it over and over again... I listen to other songs of theirs on youtube all the time, though.

Amy Lee has such an incredible voice, and I find tons of inspiration in their music (and all music, really) for my writing! Music sets the mood and helps my mind wander to the depths of creativity.



I LOVE Enya! She's been one of my top favorites for years! I have most of her cds, and I'll listen to them over and over again! lol Beautiful, soul stirring music. Uplifting yet with a touch of sorrow, reminiscent of an old soul.

Currently listenng to "Helplessness Blues" by Fleet Foxes. It's just struck me actually, I think this may only the second CD I've bought this year - which isn't normal for me...

Lots of Linkin Park right now. "With You," and

"In Between," are probably my favourites.

I've also found a couple more Celldweller songs that I love: "Eon," and "Switchback".

My all-time favorite Linkin Park song is "Numb". Best. song. ever.

Can't mention Linkin Park without mentioning my favorite: In the End

I only like Hybrid Theory of Linkin Park.

Since May 25, 1981 = 30 years of Metallica

*cough* 20 years.

Still you missed this one:

The house that Jack built

Good call on 'Nothing else matters' though

EDIT (after post below): yes I'm not sure why it thought 20 years and not '81... I blame a defective brain.

Typo, sorry. It was 1981, I got distracted by either a hyper dog, hyper teen, or hyper husband while typing that, lol.

This cover is pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPaGE24vpio

I am addicted to the song England by The National.

Unorthodox Behaviour by Brand X. Debut album of the jazz fusion quartet, consisting of John Goodsall on guitar, Percy Jones on bass, Robin Lumley on keyboards, and Phil Collins (yes, THAT Phil Collins) on drums. In addition to showcasing the considerable talents of the other three gentlemen (especially Jones), it also serves as proof positive that, twenty years before Tarzan, he was a fantastic drummer.

And the songs they tear through are terrific. "Nuclear Burn" is fast and furious, yet light and nimble as a cat, belying its title until the last minute or so. It's also Collins' best performance on record. "Born Ugly" lays down a funky groove, while tracks like "Euthanasia Waltz" and "TouchWood" are more melodic.

Of course, they aren't quite as good (nor as choptastic) as the Mahavishnu Orchestra, but then again, who is? There's only one John McLaughlin, after all. Bottom line: they're very good musicians playing good songs very well. Worth buying if you aren't averse to fusion.

3.5 stars out of 4, sez I.

I've got my lovely little playlist going on at the moment.

It has all the "Ok Go" albums i've managed to get my hands on, all my RHCP, Sara Bareilles' "Kaleidoscopic Heart" album and a mixture of Daft Punk, Florence and the Machine and Biffy Clyro.
