    They've been around forever and they're still JUST opening for other bands. it's kind of sad. They opened up for Tool back in 1993, but they've been making music since 1983. People need to recognize! Plus, they put on a mean live show as VC I think saw at Bonnaroo.

    Yeah, I was a bit out of it though. I don't want to go into it, but yeah, lots of drugs going around at that scene.

    I actually rec'ed W.A.N.D. like a page or so back.

    Walrus, you need to recommend a new video.

    Oh my bad.

    Now I'm not to sure how popular Acrtic Monkeys are on this board. But I love em and have been follwing them for years since their "Who the **** are The Arcitc Monkeys" Album. But whether you like them or not, it's still a great video nonetheless. enjoy

    I hated the fact that I had to go to youtube to watch the video and I wasn't too fond of the lead singers voice. It wasn't terrible though, just not something I'd listen to.

    Nothing special. I like how it kicks in at around 2:30.
    My favorite part isn't even musical, it's the lyrics...

    My will is well


    Very beautiful imagery. Anyhoo...

    At first, it was this great heavy psychedelic song, but as it got further and further into it, any melodies became indiscernable and jumbled. The end was really good though, especially the last few seconds.

    New Song:

    Jimi - Axis Bold As Love

    That's the beauty of it IMO. Melody is overrated as is.

    A-

    It was simple, but I liked it. I think they'd be better off with a drummer though, because it really takes away from her playing when she keeps slapping the guitar to keep the beat. It's inventive and would be a great technique for just jamming out with friends or whatever, when you don't have a drummer, but it doesn't make for good music. I actually liked the video though. I don't see what was poor quality about it.

    Where'd you find out about these guys?

    New Song:

    Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Thrill of It

    For some reason, they always seem to be where I'm going. I've seen these guys six times now, and they're just as solid live as they are in the studio.

    They played at Bonnaroo, you know. From what I've heard, they had one of the better sets.

    Yeah, I missed the first two days, so I missed Tool, and pretty much 90% of the bands I wanted to see. I wonder where Walrus found them though.

    Actually it was a weird process. lol I actually originally heard them a couple years ago on an info-mercial late at night selling guitars with that one dude that wears the zorro mask. lol I was pretty amazed but i didn't catch their names.

    Then later on i came across them listening to BBC(British radio station) Ironically they reached like number 1 in Ireland but not there home country of Mexico. But anyways i saw them on Vh1 again one night. Decided to download the album which is pretty sweet.

    They also do covers of Pink Floyd, Metallica, and Led Zeppelin.
    Oh, also saw them on Letterman

    Great sig Voodoo btw! you make that?

    I just love Leigh Nash's voice. I'm glad that she keeps singing after the "fall" of Sixpence None the Richer.

    I love these guys. Very cool, relaxed type of music.
    I love when they team up with DMB.

    It was alright for what it was. It's very minimal, and while I appreciate her voice I don't appreciate how the song never climaxes. It just stands ground throughout. Very repetitive and boring in that sense.

    Ah, those crazy Germans. Well, I'm German too. Anyway, I bet you'd like their old song for the Tour de France. They're big fans of cycling.

    Kraftwerk - Autobahn - A

    Originals. What else can I write? Let's see, they inspire almost any artist to this day that use electronic sounds in their music. Anything from hip-hop artists to techno artists to indie artists; their inspiration was endless and their talent was unlimited, especially in their earliest days. This song in particular is great, but no where near my favorite. Still deserves an A though. You can't argue with that ****** up video, don't even get me started.

    Next song is from Vitalic - Trahison

    I decided to keep the electronic music going here with my personal favorite. In most of his tracks you can just hear the inspiration of Air and Daft Punk pushing together with something fresh, unique and even emotional. A rare talent is Pascal Arbez. One of my five favorite songs of all-time from any artist.

    It's just the same techno beat....over and over and over again. sometimes it picks up a lil, but essentially its the same thng over and over again. I didnt like it.
