Music

El, Steve Earle is in my top 5 of all time.  Very happy you mentioned him.  Again, I wasn't knocking the music, it's just music that doesn't invoke emotion from me…

Such a weird video, but somehow I find it quite uplifting… 

Very interesting discussion btw, like Barun it's hard for me to grasp why people enjoy this kind of "aggressive" music. No hate,  I really appreciateted the insight!

Personally I've been listenening to a lot of Hip-Hop lately because I found a lot of nice underground stuff that made me believe in it again. But like many around here I listen to all kinds of genres, as long as it somehow touches me emotionally. Sometimes I can listen to music purely on a technical level too, appreciating bass lines, drum fills and such... But mostly it just boils down to a gut feeling, a simple reaction like "I'm feeling this!". Or not.

@riffblaster:

Is Daryl still in disma?

i couldn't tell you. i've never seen them. they're playing MDF next year, so hopefully then I'll get my chance.

[riffblaster general]

awesome.  have you heard his previous bands?  he was in funebrarum,  taste of fear, and of course citizens arrest.  daryl is a person who i will always listen when he starts a new project.

I've heard of Taste of fear but haven't actually listened to them… Do they sound like State of fear or is that just my mind linking items for no reason?..

[gbougard]

How did I not think about this tune before?????

INDIGO BLUE by the great GILBERTO GIL, on his fantastic 1984 "Raca Humana" album (which features Bob Marley's Wailers on the superb "Vamos Fugir" track)

[gbougard]

Cant resist

here is Vamos Fugir, by Gilberto Gil and the mighty mighty Wailers

taste of fear was a bit more on the american crust/grind side of the spectrum

Yo

here are two short vids of jazz piano maestro Monty Alexander bigging up the upcoming shows in Tokyo that were put together with the Cotton Club and the Blue Note Club in Japan. It's going to be a Jamaican Jazz jamboree. I'll be there to film, record and enjoy and I'll keep you guys posted.

Saw Fight Amp, Bison B.C., Saviours and Weedeater last night. My ears are stilm recovering even though I wore plugs. I think Weedeater is one of my favorite bands to see live.

[elclintor]

Weedeater is great live, I saw them in New Orleans a few years back..

Listening to the new Wolves in the throne room… Probably will make me laugh more than watching Cheers - and let it be known that I love watching Cheers…

Apparently Pitchfork described it as a contemporary (Weakling's) Dead as dreams...  Those feckers really don't know their heads from their arses... But hey: let's give it a go...
