1. Idlewild - In Competition For The Worst Time (2:43)

Talk about unmellow.
Such an awesome song... Call of Ktulu is 110% awesome, and Trapped Under Ice is too.

Did someone say 'unmellow" >:D hell yeah, Idlewild do unmellow too:
If I know, what I know, then no one will watch over you
So someone shouldn't really tell me what I want to know
I know, I owe, and I know that matters don't matter as much
As you think they do
You will only be yourself
When you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know
How long, will we go on with a modern way of letting go,
tell me how long will we go on with the modern way of letting you go?
If I know, what I know, losing isn't learning to be lost
It's learning to know when you're lost
If I know, what I know,
I'll want to make the most of what it seems like
You will only be yourself
You can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know
How long, will we go on with a modern way of letting you go,
tell me how long will we go on with the modern way of letting you go?
That's done in 144 loud seconds. Head collision of Punk & Indie. And, like entire REMOTE PART LP, it's awelicious.

Currently listening to my friend's band, Union of Lanterns. Nice, chilled out rock for those into Oasis and Radiohead-type stuff.
Sunday Random 10
Tobacco Road- The Nashville Teens
Despite the name, a British Invasion band. Band name derived from the Everly Brothers, Nashville Blues.
Like the Everly Brothers (who grew up very near here), had two lead vocalists.
American Patrol- Glenn Miller
Mom and Dad had these old 45 rpm records in a cabinet- I asked what they were..."Glenn Miller."
So the music from their college years became a part of my life, too.
The Week of Living Dangerously- Steve Earle
A song that tells a (somewhat) humorous story of a man who gets tired of the blue-collar grind and decides
to cut loose.
"How you got across that river alive, I don't know-
But your wife just made your bail
And now you're really dead for sure."
Ol' 55- Tom Waits
Apparently recorded by the Eagles- though I don't recall it.... A younger, more innocent Tom-
many, many cigarettes and bottles of bargain Scotch earlier.
Linger- The Cranberries
Yes, I admit I'm a sucker for SOME romantic pop songs, esp. those with an Irish accent.
Poor House- The Traveling Wilburys
Fun music, again showcasing the talents of each individual.
Backstreets- Bruce Springsteen
Yeah, I know, seems like he couldn't possibly work "hidin' on the backstreets" into the vocal
as many times as he did.... And yet it is an iconic '70's rock ballad- "One soft infested
summer...."
Photograph- Ringo Starr
For years, I had no idea who it was who performed this song, but I always listened when it came
on the radio. And then I forget about it again for another (mumble-mumble) years. Tuneful,
melancholy, and nostalgic. Yes, I do remember the '60s- why do you ask?
Christmas Card (from a Hooker in Minneapolis)- Tom Waits
Basically, you kind of have to be there- hearing Tom's whiskey bass sing-
"Charlie, I'm pregnant..." A wonderful song, filled with images and characters- bonus lyric-
"...buy me a used car lot, but l wouldn't sell any of 'em...
Just drive a different car every day, dependin' on how I feel."
Do You Wanna Dance- Dave Edmunds
This Welshman has tremendous talent and a chameleon-like abilty to shift between rockabilly, R&B,
and straight rock. In some ways, his cover tunes are better than the originals.

I just bought Phil Och's Tape from California, so I've been listening to that this evening. Good old Vietnam-era folk radicalism.
I've also been listening to The Black Keys' Thickfreakness. I'm big into music with a heavy blues edge to it, and The Black Keys deliver. It starts fast and heavy and lively and then becomes something almost meditative. Here's the title track. And here's maybe the liveliest track.

I'm listening to Isis' Panopticon album. It is my favourite one by them, probably because it was the first Isis album I got.
I'm listening to Dream Theater's "Images and Words"
One of my favourite albums by them. Been a while since I've listened to it though, lately I've been listening to a lot of Soilwork, Diecast and Killswitch Engage

I'm currently fascinated with music with a Balkan influence and so am listening to Balkan Beat Box. I think the band was started by a former member of Gogol Bordello and makes music that is just as crazy and cool, if not more. My favorite tracks are "Bulgarian Chicks" and "Adir Adirim" - those bulgarian chicks sure now how to sing!
Balkan Beat Box - Bulgarian Chicks video
Balkan Beat Box - Adir Adirim (JUST the music, not the vid!)
Yiiiiiiiiy!

Between the Buried and Me - Colors
I've been enjoying this a lot more than their previous stuff. I think it's the fact that each track seamlessly runs into the next that makes it that more interesting.

Haha Milanius - Blue Morning is about the only Placebo song I can stand at all! I always thought the rest was rather dull myself, but that's just me.
Going with some Canadian Hip Hop today by playing K-os' first CD, "Exit".
What have I've been listening to? Hmmm... Well I've listened to these albums so far today:
Neurosis - Given to the Rising
Neurosis - Through Silver and Blood
Pale Divine - Cemetery Earth
Vader - Litany
Cult of Luna - Salvation

Monday's Random 5 out of Sunday's Random 10 (Because I'm at work and can't remember the other 5)
Stranded in the Jungle- The Cadets
Drifter's Escape- George Thorogood
Fade into You- Mazzy Starr
Crazy Arms- Chuck Berry
Should I Stay or Should I Go- The Clash
Yep- it's random, all right. But I enjoy lots of different styles, from Big Band to rockabilly, blues to (some) punk, bluegrass, etc. The only things I have trouble with are country (with a few exceptions), rap, and the bimbo (male or female) pop-tart "flavor of the day" offerings.

Anyhow.
House of Pain - Same as it ever was LP - hard, darkened not-so-commercial rap from 90's. Brings back memories.

Ask him to do a cover of "Green Beret", that would be awesome
"Prisons" by Eyes of Fire.
It is also my goal today to listen to Daylight Dies' CD, Dismantling Devotion, because it has been too long since I've listened to it and I'd really like to change that!

"Coma" by Guns N' Roses. This song is pure genius. It starts out with a pulse (like a heartbeat) and that theme pretty much stays throughout the entire song. The main riff is also centered around the pulse, giving it a real 'coma'-ish feel. I think I read somewhere that Slash thought of the riff while in a 3-day coma. Anyway, the song is a true epic, fit to sit alongside songs like Metallica's "One".
I will admit that a lot of Guns N' Roses is garbage, but they do have a lot of great work as well. (Most of it being on Use Your Illusion I)

I'm listening to:
Animal I Have Become - Three Days Grace
Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
Blue (Da Ba Dee) [Radio Edit] - Eiffel 65
and a lot of stuff from Halo 3.
Danny, I will have to check out that 'Coma' by Guns n Roses. I used to listen to them alot back in the beginning .. welcome to the jungle, sweet child, etc. Had an Axl thing going on which I am quite over by now. teehee
Queens of the stone age - No one knows, as well as other random songs from "Songs for the deaf" LP
Enjoying my new music-device I'm listening to the 534 songs on my ipod, a great mixture of rock music...oh mmmmmm just so great!
Been listening to Feist this morning.
nine inch nails - The Collector
I have listened to NIN's "Year Zero" album and I can't say I'm impressed. While "With teeth" focuses mainly on the individual and it's inner debate, YZ is a concept album describing events from the dystopian future... it somehow doesn't appear as energetic or interesting as WITH TEETH to me. Just my 2 cents, mind you.

'Five Magics' by Megadeth, off of their (greatest) album Rust in Peace. The lyrics describe a man who masters (yep! you guessed it!) five magics in order to overthrow a dictator (who has already mastered said magics) only to find that the power corrupted him as well. It's just an overall cool song. Great lyrics, original sound...
I'm listening to Svartsot, a folk metal band from Denmark, really catchy stuff and they don't overdue the cheesiness like other bands of their ilk. That's probably because they bring a bit more death metal to their sound than black metal. It's basically like listening to Amon Amarth but with some cool folkish flutes/pipes/woodwinds playing in the background.
Good drinking music anyways!

Damien Rice - The blower's daughter
Um
don't ask... the tune is nice, though. Mellow.

Nothing wrong with Damien Rice. Different music for different moods--entirely appropriate.
Still listening to Feist. If we're talking mellow, with some romantic-style cheese thrown in, can't do much better than "Limit To Your Love".
Also been listening to Cold War Kids, who are sort of alt/indie. More fun than straight indie, whatever the hell that is.

Now I'm listening to Vietnam. Not the war, but the 60s-ish psychedelic rock band from Brooklyn. They're not from the 60s--they just look and kind of sound like it. Actually a pretty new band.
"H." - Tool
Perfect album to listen to when I finally get to writing my book. I guess after reading so many dystopian novels in my English course, and reading A Clockwork Orange, I'm in the mood for something dystopian. It's just been my whole mindset since the beginning of the school. Don't just call me a pessimist, try and read between the lines.
Year Zero also had an awesome... whatdya call em. An alternate reality game. Those are pretty cool, if incredibly intricate and involved.

Hmm. "Energetic" and "dystopian" are pretty much opposites. Dystopian anything is supposed to be gloomy and depressing, so why in the world are you expecting it to be "energetic?" That contradicts the whole purpose of "I'll FORCE you to look at the way the United States will be in the future, and o my brother it ain't good."Perfect album to listen to when I finally get to writing my book.

Sepultura - Riotstarter [Dark Ages LP]
The beginning of song, with those funky Brazilian instruments, is awelicious*
*for those who don't know it, awelicious = awesome + delicious
Was listening to "Aenima" by Tool.
Song was making me feel better. Describes how I feel most of the time now, except instead of Los Angeles it's the entire [self-censored] state of Oklahoma.
Scratch that, the world. Sorry if hating the way the world treats me gets you down. My [censored] bad for having the world [censored] hating my damn guts for no particular reason.

Right now I'm listening to Hurt's "Vol. II" album. Really good stuff though I miss the violin, the band basically got more creative with the guitar and extremely lowered the amount of violin used. Ohwell, I still have a feeling this album will hit my overall Top 10 this year.
Blast from the past! Sisters of mercy & Ofra Haza - Temple Of Love
In the temple of love: shine like thunder
In the temple of love: cry like rain
In the temple of love: hear my calling
In the temple of love: hear my name
It's the current "Get up, get prep'd & get to work" music.

Well, I'm listening to two in particular at the moment. Escape by Craig Armstrong and Preliator by Globus.
I like stuff I can listen to as I'm writing, so both songs are great for that epic kind of feel and suitable to listen to when I'm just sitting on the bus from school to home.
I'm listening to Genitorturers' "Flesh is the Law" album. Again. Why? Because I got a CD hand-signed by Gen (their lead singer) today. That's reason enough 
My favorite by far is the song for which the album is named. One of the reasons for that is how Gen can change from screaming at the top of her lungs to actually singing smoothly in a fraction of a second.
<scream>YEAH YEAH YEAH!</scream><sing>Flesh is the laaaaaaw!</sing>

Stricken by Disturbed, and the album My Master by Priestess are currently playing for me. Fantastic stuff.... if you like metal XD
Found the Disturbed song, and the band Priestess via Guitar Hero 3
