Anti-Boredom Assistance Needed

Vainglory

Well, I'm home for the obligatory Mothers Day visit (damn Hallmark holidays, boooo, hisssss) and am downloading as much music as I can find (Note to Internet Po-lice : Not really.)

Soooo. What's everyone listening to? What would you reccommend that I download? Twould be nice if everyone could suggest a few songs and then we could all mock/praise/belittle each other's music tastes.

Currently listening to Gravy Train by Ian Brown. And, sadly, downloading the third season of The OC. (Don't say it. No really, don't say it).

Ok, music tastes, out with them.

Note : If you're recommending some madly obscure song, can you give a rough description of what genre of music it is? Because I ain't wasting my time downloading any gospel music, mmmkthx.

My Current Playlist-

Some of them seriously lacking in musical value I know, but I like my catchy boppy tunes for driving around so they do it for me, doubt they'll be any huge inspiration to you!

Sangre

There are so many classics on that list. Love Oliver's Army gonna have a listen right now.

I think James Blunt was a bit of a victim of the too popular to be credible crowd. Listen to it a bit when it came out but it has no lasting value. That song list is only my computer music.

I suggest you take a look at www.pandora.com .

Its legal and lets you enter a band or a song and it will then play songs that it believes are similar to it and you may like. You can then vote as to wether it was good and the program learns from it. Its very good really if you want new music but arent sure what

guh? Don't your parents live about as close to the city centre as it's possible to be while still being in the suburbs? it's hardly backwoods offaly anyway... anyway, nitpicking aside, what I've been listening to recently is:

Tragedy - s/t (portland style crusty hardcore)
Catharsis - Passion (crimethinc epicy metallic hardcore)
Blondie - Best Of (yeah)
Sufjan Stevens - For The Widows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti (just the one song, it makes me all maudlin and mournful but. linky to video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=d4tkiGvV_ek )

Was going to start a Radiohead one later. Trying out Rammstein now. Could be fun...

Its nice to see Vainglory not smacked off her face on toytown politics for a change

Rather than write a long list of 40 boring songs which reek with the stench of self-indulgence, I'll keep mine short. And when I say electro, I don't mean that new wave **** oompa loompas with handbags dance to in Spirit. I'm talking the real deal from Den Haag, playing next door in Traffic, keepin' it underground. Anyhoo, here we go......

Magma (Mfa) - Ellen Allien: A tech-electro minimal delight.
Space Invaders are Smoking Grass - I-F: Real electro with heavy bass and a cool vocoder voice all in a 80's style. A classic!
Disco Lunar Module - Alden Tyrell: A label mate of I-F on Clone records, this tune has massive sweeping synths to wave your hand to.
A Very Loud Lullaby - T. Raumschmiere: Heavy metal techno that freaks out the stoners at house partie!
Grantz Graf - Autechre: A sonic masterpiece that won't stimulate dancing feet. Its what we electronica aficionados call 'braindance'. They play in the Temple Bar Music Centre on April 8th.
Resumier - Ricardo Villalobos: Clicky percussion, swooping sub bass and obligatory warm synths define this epic minimal techno track. Also plays in Dublin on April 27th.
Shore Lined Poison - Skinny Puppy: Dominated by crashing percussions and synth effects, this is easily the best track from one of the most important bands in the industrial/electronic body music genre.
Actionist Respoke - Mouse on Mars: Weird, distorted vocals, melodic squelches and hard-hitting breakbeats are the order of the day for Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner.

How about some Christy Moore?

Blush_01

Ride On, Biko Drum, Lisdoonvarna, Delirium Tremens, Diggin', Mystic Lipstic (I love that song so much!)... Christy's great. Plus, Jimmy McCarthy writes well. We* had to Jesus-ify Bright Blue Rose for our graduation, along with other Jimmy McCarthy songs that I cannot remember.


*By we I mean I. I ain't proud of it. *shudders*

My favourite song of all time is faithful departed -ive started playing it to my bro before his rugby games to get him revved up.

I really like Jack Johnson(I think) at the moment-he's some californian surfer dude.Whenever I listen to his music it transports me from the third level of the smelly library to sitting underneath a palm tree in Hawaii eating a coconut.
