Well... I found out I can scream.

[Meryuma]

I'm listening to Of Mice & Men - They Don't Call it the South for Nothing. I was reminded about them by a friend. We were talking about how awesome it would be if we had a bf that could sing.. I mean scream like that

The production is really unsatisfying and there's no dynamics. When it comes to angsty screaming hardcore, super intense underground screamo is way better than all the overproduced chugga chugga metalcore stuff.

So I just listened through OK Computer again while reading it's wiki page (don't ask me why, I just do this stuff sometimes). It took longer to read the wiki than to listen to the album. Preeeeetttty long page.

EDIT: oops, I stand correcting myself. I spent part of that time reading reviews on iTunes.

Don't buy Radiohead stuff off of iTunes. All the money goes to EMI.

Don't worry, when I listen to an album for the first or second time I almost always read something about it. Or look up what other people liked or hated about it.

I have similar tendencies (also when watching movies).

I didn't like the VMAs

but seriously though that whole Miley Cyrus thing (i'll let the Smiths explain my reaction to her)

Why would you watch such a thing? I'll just read up on it the day after and just think 'meh'. Then I carry on with life.

My brother described the VMA's as "The Oscars for people with IQ's under 85"

I really don't give a shit about anything to do with MTV, so I didn't even pay a single attention to that whole thing.

And this whole thing with Miley Cyrus has turned into the next bullshit thing for people to be hateful idiots about someone they don't really know.

This whole way we look at celebrities now is just bullshit in itself.

I do it more with movies then music.

good for you, now let's never talk about it again

It really erks me that I can't put the porcupine tree album I got from the library on my computer. On the back of the case it says "This is a secure CD. It cannot be ripped or copied."

[Cosumar]

Out of curiosity, which album is it?

Also, *irks --- I'm sorry

Oop, sorry yeah, irks.

And it's Deadwing, which I keep trying to get some good listening to's in of it, but it's so much harder when I can't put it on my iPod/iPad.

[Cosumar]

Deadwing is a really good album. I prefer Fear of a Blank Planet and In Absentia though.

[Katyuscha]

Shit.

I didn't even realize that Metric's Fantasies album was released in '09.

Could've sworn it was older than that.

[Meryuma]

Deadwing is a really good album. I prefer Fear of a Blank Planet and In Absentia though.

I have yet to listen to any of their albums. Fear of a Blank Planet seems like the "iconic" one so I'm thinking I should maybe start there.

That is definitely a good place to start. The first one I love for the lyrics because they fit really well for an RP character of mine, though the 2nd has great lyrics for a different reason. I like both videos.

Of course there is also the 17-minute track that is one of the best things they've ever done.

Deadwing is my first one.

Just like to say one more thing, the performance by Justin Timberlake was amazing.

[Calorax]

I've been listening to Nirvana a lot recently and come to conclusion that I actually really like them, despite how overrated they are

Also, In Utero >>> Nevermind

[Corrian]

I like Nirvana alright from the radio songs I've heard but that is all I've heard. Maybe I should just give that album a try when I also give an Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam album a try.

Edit: I've been listening to this song by Birdy (on her album full of cover songs, The National included) on repeat a lot, and I think her covers are pretty decent. They're the types of songs I think are good for listening to but aren't technically the greatest songs by far. A lot better covers then I hear a lot of the time, though.

Of course I only knew like 4 things she covered out of the 11 songs but yeah.

[Corrian]

I know this is a weird question coming from me of all people, but what hip-hop albums (Any various one) or hip-hop artists should I at least give a try to? Besides Dalek and Death Grips because I'm already on those two.

Oh, and some other VMA crap, my dad said he watched Kanye West perform at the VMA's, and he was MAJORLY auto-tuned. With a few exceptions I think auto-tune is a really lazy way to do singing. I would think as a hip-hop guy that is highly praised like he is by even some of the more underground people (us), that he wouldn't be a hip-hop artist that uses auto-tune, but I guess I'm wrong. I just really can't stand auto-tune most of the time.

Outkast

Thanks!

I didn't know how worthwhile Outkast was beyond a couple of songs so I never really listened to them. I LOVED one of their music videos as a kid.

Edit: Geez, I just mentioned cLOUDDEAD to a friend, asking if they knew them, and they said yeah and mentioned to me like 5 side projects of theirs that are good as well. I'm going to be busy.

[The REAL Glasers]

If you're gonna check out cLOUDDEAD, make sure to listen to Why?. Here are some recs:

Nas (Illmatic)
Reks
Joey Bada$$
A Tribe Called Quest
Public Enemy
Gang Starr
Beastie Boys

Crunk Rap is best rap.

Give Lil Jon a try.
