Finding new artists to get excited about this week --

The Rescues

The Dog Days

Both indie/folk rock and lovely. And The Dog Days has an entire album of free downloads. FREE. ALBUM. How can you go wrong? That kind of thing makes my week.

Edit: Okay, one more! The Sleeping Years. OMG, love at first listen.

I find some of my favorite music at Central Point.

Going through a bit of a dry spell... I'm not finding a whole lot of new music to get excited about lately. My recommendations are letting me down. :P There's a lot that's okay, not much I love.

The exceptions -- The One AM Radio, Ocean Reid, and a couple songs by The Agape Rose (hauntingly beautiful music, completely nonsensical lyrics. Yet they sing them with such emotion that I feel like no, they must mean something but I'm just not deep enough to get it).

I couldn't find Ocean Reid on iTunes so I ordered the CD from his website (http://www.oceanreid.com/boutique.htm) for £4.45. I don't actually have any idea how much money that is (yes, I'm an ignernt provincial American), but regardless, it was well worth it.

Portishead is back with something way more portishead than dummy could have hoped to be
Ace of Base is a base conversion utility that makes extensive use of newbasic's versatile choice component
Jack Off Jill is a band that doesn't use female sexuality for profit but they will use the darkly twisted emotiosn of the female spirit to drive a dagger
Pink Floyd is very clear on atom heart mother where he is credited as composer and musician
Air is sick kenneth brownson 11/01/2000 hospital materiel management quarterly
Rage Against the Machine is currently not on tour right now
The Killers is very clever and funny satire
Scarling. is a flourescent pink zebra running at top speed
Cabaret Voltaire is an unforgettable attack on the christian right with a bassline so dense it resembles a dying star

Like in my previous journal, I can add spaces and periods in between the band name and add letters around it, but I can't do anything else.

this time I'll just do random bands on my charts

1. My favorite flower is the Orchid.
2. His opponent started Summoning Weegee to piss him off.
3. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger At the Drive-In
4. The Chameleons blended with the cookies. That's why they're in my stomach now.
5. Why?
6. The snake's Venom poisoned and killed him.
7. My favorite galaxy is Messier 83, or M83.
8. Swans took over my pond.
9. The Cure for the disease is a taco.
10. She found a Skinny Puppy on the street.

I am one of those annoying people who tag albums I own on CD and vinyl

CD -

Vinyl

I recently bought some new vinyls and I went to tag them and the album tag kept ending up in the artist tag.
How do I tag albums now in the new last.fm?

Foxy Shazam.

Fuck anything else you're listening to right now, fuck your general music taste, and listen to Foxy Shazam.

Start with It's Hair Smelled Like Bonfire.

And then thank me.

1. How did you get into 29? (Pantera)
I can't remember. I borrowed their best of off someone years and years ago. But I don't remember who or anything.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Anberlin)
The Runaways!

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? (Merzbow)
Its kind of irrelevant, as Merzbow isn't really an act featuring vocals and or lyrics.

4. What is your favorite album by 46? (Black Flag)
THE FIRST FOUR YEARS!

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Strapping Young Lad)
I own City, The New Black and Strapping Young Lad. I need to buy Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing and Alien.

Black Fire.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (Shpongle)
Not in the slightest :D

I only own two, and I love them both very much. It depends on my mood, they're both quite different.

Ouch, tough. At the minute its probably "Crushed Under The Weight of The Enormous Bullshit", but usually its "Missing Fingers".

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (Manowar)
Aha, its been sooo long since I listened to them its unreal. But yeah, most of them are like, major key upbeat cheesey songs about battles and swords and stuff.

I've only really heard Cannibal Penis Ballet, so that.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Swans)

Eh, nothing in particular.

Bomber.
