NIN - The Hand That Feeds

Maybe I'm just shallow. Or, maybe I'm just being an a55 People Net-wide are bashing this song and Trent Reznor, always forgetting that he can damn well do whatever he wants and make songs with disco-beats if he bloody wants to... oh, and I've also got a news-flash for those poor blind people on www.songmeanings.net: IT'S A FRIGGIN POLITICAL TEXT, YOU IDIOTS. Now, go and get your mouth washed with caffeine soap... (mmmm, caffeine soap...)

p.s.: An a55 can also mean Donkey

Currently listening to....

Covenant - "Leviathan".

A friend has just loaned me 4 of their albums, saying she thought I'd like 'em. A Swedish techno-gothy-industrial band (if I think of more labels I'll add them ), though most of their success has come in Germany.

Gotta say, she was right. I'm loving them

Ahhh burnie! You discovered Covenant? Awesome I´d say! I just adore their album Northern Light!

Just now I´m listening to Welle: Erdball, album: Nur tote Frauen sind schön......ahhhhh that´s music!

Just now I´m listening to Welle: Erdball, album: Nur tote Frauen sind schön......ahhhhh that´s music!

Hahaha...that's a cruel title! "Only dead women are beautiful".. .Though Welle Erdball seems to make good music. I only know one of their tracks, but it's quite good.

Me, I'm listening to a collection of David Bowie singles. You know I used to strongly dislike his music when I was young. I didn't like Tom Waits either. For me that was just music my mother listens to. Now I have almost all of Bowie's albums The song currently playing is Ashes to Ashes.

I know probably not that many people here would have a high opinion of Bowie, but whether or not you like him, you have to admit he's one of the most versatile and creative artists of our time, and I'm sure he's influenced many other artists.

Who likes Pearl Jam in here ?

I heard Daughter by PJ on the radio the other day, it brought back childhood days... I had to download it off the internet! But I have had the Ten album like my whole life! I like how he sings (I forget the guy's name), it sounds like he puts a lot of energy and emotion into the song.

In my family If you don't love David Bowie, Bob Dylan, the Sex Pistols and the Rollong Stones, you get disowned .

I'm listening to All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan, a song famously covered by Hendrix. I like both versions.

Listening to a song off of The Mars Volta's upcoming album Amputecture. Check it out here.

I'm not disappointed in the least. In fact, I'm even more excited about being able to pick up a copy.

[The Metal Mallet]

I enjoyed the parts that had music in the last Mars Volta album, wasn't really into the long seguements of white noise, particularly the second half of "The Widow". I would've perferred a better way of segueing into songs that white noise. Though the 4 minutes it takes for "Miranda That Ghost Isn't Holy Anymore" was pretty cool.

Currently I'm still obsessing over Hurt's debut album, and Isis' Panopticon album, and the new Strapping Young Lad album. Though I am currently listening to an Avenged Sevenfold song, "I Won't See You Tonight pt.2".

Oh yea! And if you wanna know an ultimate guitar song in my opinion it is Nevermore's "Final Product". I would almost say it's 50/50 vocals/guitar fills/solos. Now I don't know what certain guitar techniques are called but the main solo has some really nice fret tapping (at least that's what I'm guessing it is). Just a suggestion for you "guitar heroes" out there.

I'm listening to one of my favourite songs ever, Lazarus by Porcupine Tree. I'm learning it on guitar and will be singing it to a live audience soon along with some songs we wrote. The songs (and singer) really appeal to me as its about being in a place that doesn't fit you at all. Really beautiful lyrics too.

I'm not a big fan of that either, but it's no issue for me to just fast forward it when I don't want to listen to it.

Anyway, just realized that Iron Maiden is coming out with a new album come September. I was expecting it to be a huge disappointment just before I started listening to the sample song The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg on their website. Surprisingly, it doesn't suck. As a matter of fact, it's now one of my favorite Maiden songs.

Idlewild - A modern way of letting go
I've been listening to a bunch of Idlewild songs lately. Their songs have a perfect blend of energy and melody, joy and sorrow, light and shadow etc. within themselves I wub those guys from Scotland.

I'm almost ashamed to admit it because of the association of this artist with a certain techno mega event in Berlin, but I'm currently listening to Westbam. As opposed to the music usually played at aforementioned event, his tracks are very melodic, have good vocals and are intelligent. The album I'm listening to is Right On, so far my favorite.

Westbam - Oldschool - just ignore the embarrassing video and Nena. The song itself is pretty good
Westbam - Hard Times - one of my Westbam favorites. Better video.

The station logo on the second video certainly reminds me of better times It is the logo of VIVA, which once was one of the most appreciated stations in Germany. They had loads and loads of music vids, oftentimes of bands you never heard of before. Good stuff. And they had a number of very cool VJs like Charlotte Roche. And then what happened? [censored] MTV bought VIVA, fired everyone except for the cleaning staff, and now it's a ****ing ringtone advertizement station. No more music. No more originality. Nothing. It's on the air as a dead husk of what it once was. It's a damn shame is what it is.

In loving memory:

Wow, Stargelman - nice band. I liked both videos but you are right the second one was better. That guy with the crewcut is a heckuva robot dancer. Awesome! The girl was very fluid.

Also, that site led me to some videos taken of Warsaw, Poland and very fascinating was the Spanish speaking tour of Poland and Prague. Pretty cool since I can understand Spanish a little but Polish not at all despite the fact I spoke it as a young child. I am half Polish but heritage deprived really. So thanks, that was very cool to watch!

Now listening to "Hey Jude" ... which was originally Hey Jules for Julian Lennon of course. Sometimes I just can't believe that two of the Beatles aren't with us anymore. Of course they always will be in their music. I remember the makeout parties to the new Liverpool beat "She Loves You' and the wild dancing to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." An energy took over America like no other had ever seen. The Britsh Invasion = such power is music. Led to ??? Heavy Metal, the Surfers Yell to the Invasion, Free Thinking, Vietnam Protest, Alternative, Dylan going electric, all kinds of shocking world shatterers.

But back then, in the purer days of "Mr. Postman" and "Listen Do You Want to Know A Secret" - I remember how shocked we all were just to discover that Paulie wore no underwear under his jeans when his little butt got burnt riding a bus sitting on the battery metal and the studs of his jeans heated up = hahaha, can you believe that that was in our beloved Beatle Magazines? And Cynthia Lennon being so mad at John's infidelities with Yoko that she stripped their entire house of furniture when she left him, including cutting the carpet in strips and taking that with her too. No wonder Julian needed Hey Jude advice.

Well, this is my Beatle rant for the day, the week, the month. Back to "Start Me Up" with the Stones... the down n dirty flip side to the Liverpudlian coin who've managed to stay alive (although always looking like old men) and never hesitated to "Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself" from the darker side of life. That song always reminds me now of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt tooling acrost that bridge at the end of Interview With A Vampire.

Now "Layla" is playing. Don't even get me started on Clapton. Ahhh and Ginger Baker. Back in the day!

[The Metal Mallet]

My latest purchases at the local CD shop have been, Stone Sour's "Come What(ever) May", Voivod's "Quatorz"(sounds like the French word for fourteen, isn't spelled correctly in French though), Meshuggah's "Nothing", and Helmet's "Monochrome".

I'm impressed with the Stone Sour CD the most. Though I have to admit, the last song, Zzyxx Rd., sounds like it has the same ending as Puddle of Mudd's Blurry, just with a solo and piano. The vocal delivery, and the rhythm guitar sounds pretty near note for note like the song Blurry. It's still a wonderful song though, just that I found that amusing. Course I might be insane....

The Voivod CD I bought on a hunch. Just the fact that I knew they were Canadian and that Jason Newsted played on it compelled me to buy it. I also read a few things that they were an interesting band. I would have to say that was right, it took a few songs to get used to the vocals, but after that I found they were pretty cool. I'm now compelled to get their supposedly "best" albums after checking out reviews.

The Meshuggah CD is interesting at least, just really complex, since their a math-metal band. Though, the monotone vocals can get a little grating after a wile. There's only one song that has a different vocal approach, and I didn't like it as much as the usual vocals. I'll still probably get Chaosphere and Destroy.Erase.Improve though. Those two are supposed to be speedier and I think I'll like it a bit more.

I'm not entirely impressed with the Helmet CD, in fact, I was moreso impressed with their previous one, Size Matters, which seems to me that more people hated. I think it might be just the first few songs really just sound awful, the latter half actually isn't bad. I wish I could find Meantime though, Unsung is such a sweet song....

[Wolfie]

I'm Listening to AFI - Girls Not Grey, as well of the rest of their album Sing The Sorrow, right now. Good stuff, although i hear some of their newer stuff is pretty emo

[Ibis]

I've been listening to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart classics and I see why he went mad ... his music drove me to make a digital painting for Pisces.

I have a friend now at MySpace where we just exchange song lyric snips without the title or bandname and see if the other recognizes it. Much fun! I have to go there and customize myspace. Finally picked a picture for wallpaper and have decided on "Canon Rock" by FunTwo that FuzzyKnight uploaded here to be my homepage song. I'm listening to that right now .....

Oh, I'm going to set up MySpace - I'm so in the mood now!!!

Kraftwerk - We are the Robots

I've really been getting into Kraftwerk recently. I first heard them at the end of Bill Bailey's Part Troll DVD, where they did the hokey cokey in German at the end of the show. Currently, We are the Robots is probably my favourite song by them. I don't know why I like them so much really... generally I'm not a fan of this electronic music but for some reason I can really enjoy listening to Kraftwerk. Maybe its because they pretty much invented it

[Wolfie]

Trivium - Rain
Nice and heavy, just how i like my rock/metal type music
I wish i'd heard about them sooner than this though, so much lost time.....
