So lets be clear, you like watered down rock n roll. Not real Country and Western music.

Whatever you say. I have nothing against old school country, just not my cup of tea. "Real" is a subjective term. Country music has definitely evolved within the past 15 years, and the days of Conway Twitty are long gone. That doesn't mean that new country =/= real country.

Hey, when does Grohl's new queen of the stoneage CD come out? I've heard a few songs and it sounds better then their last album which was great.

It's not meant to be an insult. I just don't think that "new country" deserves to be in the same genre as "old school c&w."

 

Garth Brooks has more in common with P. Diddy than Johnny Cash.

Lullabies to Paralyze comes out March 22nd, but Grohl isn't drumming on this album

Point well taken.

I don't insult anyone's music tastes because mine have crystallized over the past few years.

 

Sort of like an alcoholic who only drank fine wines and single malt whiskies for the last five years and now things rubbing alcohol is a suitable replacement. Pretty much anything works for me these days.

Does that mean you have many fine wines and single malt whiskeys lying around going undrunk. I could help with that problem.

I keep hearing about 'the Decemberists' and "The Go', but haven't actually listened to them. Who do they sound slike?

Picked up a disc by 'the Rapture'. Kinda dancy, with wierd vocals and cool guitar, not bad overall for the $8.99 price.

Two great cd's bought today:

 

Armor For Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead

Gym Class Heroes - The Papercut Chronicles

will you describe please?

will you describe please?

Armor For Sleep call themselves 'dream rock'. I'd call it an alt/indie mix with some elements of electronica and hardcore. The cd is written from the perspective of someone who just passed and is looking back down on earth. So the lyrics have an interesting spin on them.

 

Gym Class Heroes is a fusion of hip-hop, crisp guitar, and deep bass lines. Drumming is pretty solid. Interesting lyrics as well, dealing with everything from artistic expression, discrimination, pill addiction, and girls.

 

PM me if you have AIM, I could hook you up with anything from my collection.

Picked up The new Mars Volta, 'Frances the Mute'. Very wierd, with a lot going on. I'll have to slowly digest it before I know if I like it........anyone else?

I can honestly say that I can't remember the last music I've liked LESS than the two songs I've heard from this disc. I had to change the station - too long, too dull, too much.

I prefer short bursts of aggressive yet melodic stuff, so I didn't think I'd like the Mars Volta - and I was right.

I'm looking forward to new cds from Beck, Ben Folds, and Sleater-Kinney.

I've enjoed it, but it's a tough listen for sure. When songs have 3 minutes of nothing, or a complete change of pace in the middle of them, it's difficult to stay interested.

Was just listening to an old obscure band called Granicus. VERY cool stuff. The album is from '73 and the vocalist makes Robert Plant sound like an untrained monkey.

songs 1 and 2 = good

 

the rest = bad

Anyone heard 'The Kills"? (not The Killers)

Or "The Libertines??
