cool that you've seen franti. Oh My God is an amazing song indeed. great live peformers. yeah, Parliament isn't what they once were. I've seen some videos of their back in the 70's though and wow. let's not get into punk rock and emo argument. It's very obvious the crap these days that people call "punk" is a far cry from the Sex Pistols, The New York Dolls, the Stooges, the MC5...the orginal punk music. And emo doesn't even come close to that, because frankly, it's just about selling records.
Any albums by Ted Leo and the Phramacists The Police - Outlandos d'Amour Self - Breakfast With Girls Spoon - Kill The Moonlight
I can't stop laughing, Todd. I was just watching the beetljuice and iron sheik arguing with each other on youtube.

I'm actually going to be seeing a lot of good jam bands this summer going to Bonnaroo and Rothbury (a new festival in Michigan). There's some big name headliners like Pearl Jam, 311, Metallica, Snoop Dogg, Modest Mouse, Jack Johnson, etc., but there's also a hell of a lot of good jam bands this year. Just check out the lineups - Bonnaroo - http://www.bonnaroo.com/artists.aspx Rothbury - http://www.rothburyfestival.com/festival/artists.php You listen to jam bands? </div> I saw Yonder Mountain String Band open for DMB about two years ago. (They will be at both Bonnaroo and Rothbury). They are a bluegrass jam band, and I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys any kind of jam band. It's four guys, but no drummer. They just love to jam out and have a good time. One of their crowd favorites is "Legalize It" which says a lot I guess. At the Rothbury Festival they will be playing with Jon Fishman, the drummer from Phish.
I had the same problem as you. I have all my favorite music in my player and I kept listening to the same stuff over and over. So I got a really nice little 4G Sansa on woot! for $40 and I only put new music on it. Right now I'm listening to My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges (AWESOME, totally addicted) Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs Portishead - Third The Black Keys - Attack and Release If I didn't do this, I would spend the rest of my life listening to nothing but Steely Dan and Stevie Ray Vaughn. If you haven't heard [video=youtube;3KANI2dpXLw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KANI2dpXLw[/video], I highly recommend it as well.

It's a really commercial venue, but they always seem to pull the acts I like (the Roots, Les Claypool, etc.). Anyway, they've got a really unique sound for a jam band... I dig it. And I had no idea other people here were into Howard Stern. Maybe it's because I'm not in the northeast, but I really don't know anyone else in person that listens to it. I'm on the level with that show that I tune in every morning and listen for a good two hours. I'm not a fan of Howard's insight though. In fact, I think he's a dumbass. He doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time, especially when it comes to music or politics, but the show as a whole is great. Like a caller said the other day, it's like having your daily cup of coffee. It just seems to wake me up every day. BTW - Ghoti, speaking of Bonnaroo, both My Morning Jacket and Death Cab for Cutie are going to be there this year. I've never seen Death Cab, but I saw My Morning Jacket at Roo before, and they're probably the ones that opened my eyes to jam bands. "One Big Holiday" has got to be in my top 25-50 or so songs. You should check out the Roo this year.
Try some Rage Against the Machine? I've been listening to them a lot lately, especially "The Battle for Los Angeles" (been struggling to play the riff from 'Maria' too).
I forgot Nada Surf - Lucky. They had a hit song "Popular" a long time ago, but they have become an excellent little indie band that has put out consistently good albums for a long time. Lucky is their latest.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (The Joker @ May 19 2008, 11:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>My Ipod is filled with a bunch of all old songs. Need something fresh. Maybe some rock?

So he's a good one to check out too. The "Next Big Thing" band right now is, from what I can gather, Vampire Weekend. I totally dig them - they kinda sound like Paul Simon on Graceland. (If you don't have that album, I also recommend it.)
