Seeing Villagers in Cork next month.

JEALOUS

Can't wait to hear some of the songs from the first record live, even if Awayland was a little disappointing

I disagree completely. Awayland is massive, definitely beats Becoming A Jackal in my book.

Simon and Garfunkel

The Boxer

<3

Ya gotta love the classics, the soundtrack to my childhood car journeys:

Will get listening to them soon, bluejaymraz.

It's a shame that other young people like ourselves don't appreciate the talent of Simon & Garfunkel and many other great artists out there that are unknown to these people. I doubt we'll ever get a brilliant song writer like Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel who has a sick ear for harmonies.

Came across a song the other day which sums up the vast majority of my year.

Internet friends - knife party.

Which part, the internet friends or the knife party?

It would have been a good idea to actually embed the song :P:pac:

I have indeed

I rarely prefer live versions of songs to album versions... but that performance is one of the exceptions. It's pretty amazing.

I usually listen to psychedelic dream pop and, on occasion, grunge rock

The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning

Thieves Like Us - Shyness

DIIV - How Long Have You Known

Good ol' Leonard Cohen -

Probably my favourite song of his:

I prefer BAJ just because I like his voice best with slow songs and a guitar, but the album still had good upbeat tunes like 'That Day'. Awayland trails off a bit for me, has some excellent songs though, I think Earthly Pleasure and Nothing Arrived are two of my favourite Villagers songs now. Songs off Awayland are possibly better, just prefer BAJ as an album.

This is the cutest music video I've ever come across, I love Macklemore so much!

Okay, I'm not into music, but adore this piece. Pure music and emotions it brings! I also suggest watching "Sleeping with enemy" if you're bored, but do it at night.

My little brother gets scared ****eless when I put it on

Wow.

LostBoy101 · 24-03-2013 10:52PM

I guess I should keep this thread rolling...

Anything by bloc party does it for me!

Saw And So I Watch You From Afar last night. THAT GIG. Hopefully going to see Frank Ocean, TDCC and HAIM this summer (well, they're all supporting The Killers, but who cares about them anymore? :pac:), The National the week after the LC, Sigur Rós in November and maybe Young Wonder next month. Saw Bombay Bicycle Club, Cast of Cheers and Jape last week. LOVE MY LIFE.

Now... SOME OF THOSE:

I think this thread could greatly benefit from some Queen :P If they're good enough for the Leaving Cert Music course, they're good enough for here :cool:

This one could probably describe a lot of us right now:

Great song, impossible to take the video seriously though xD

And of course:

Bump. Suitable choice of song I think, seeing as it is only eleven days away and all.
