Yo.

So I see some people around these parts makin' some thredzz about music and such.

This is mine!

One of my favorite bands is Tera Melos, they are super sweet 8)

These chill ass dudes play guitar and bass respectively, and the guitarist is riiiiiidiculous! I don't think too many people will be into this band, but I certainly am :D:D:D:D

Their live shows are insane and filled with tons of improvisation!

SWEETNESS BRO

Their old drummer, Vince, was insaaaaaane! But they have a new drummer now who is apparently just as insane as him! Mind blowing 8)

They have about three CDs out: Their 2005 Untitled (or self-titled), which is, in my opinion, a technical-rock masterpiece (MOVE OVER DON CABALLERO LOOOOOL!!!)

After that is Drugs To The Dear Youth (I think), then a split CD with "By the End of Tonight"

Their newer stuff has a lot more "pop" sounding guitar parts added to it, and some more vocals, but it still tech as fuck 8) 8) 8) 8)
Just a note: All of these CDs are filled with tons of different, kind of "avant-garde" type of dealies, with electronics and tons of guitar pedals and everything. The thing is though, this band is legit. I am pretty sure they recorded all these songs live, with 0 or very little over-dubs. I mean, how the fuck would you record this otherwise?!

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!!

They have a covers album recently released, it is free to listen to and download (if you sign up for this website they put it on) :D

They released it on a website so that they could get peoples' e-mails in a mailing list for themselves so they could inform people of shows and other neat things 8)

The link is: http://www.reverbnation.com/teramelos

They covered:

Meant for You- The Beach Boys
Koka Kola- The Clash
Tame- The Pixies
Blast Off- Rivers Cuomo
Hey Sandy- Polaris

    There is too much music to like.

    It makes me sad to know I will probably never make a living doing it, ever.

    I don't know many "blues" albums but I know that some stuff by Wes Montgomery is really chill, like the Incredible Jazz Guitar.

    Joanna Newsom is the polar opposite of cool.

    okay so the other day I was watching tv in the break room at work right

    there was some award ceremony honoring morgan freeman

    cool, I figure

    and then B.B. King starts performing!

    awesome!

    except the audience

    this audience of old stuffy white people

    just sits there

    you do not just sit there while B.B. King is playing

    do you hear me?

    YOU

    DO

    NOT

    JUST SIT THERE

    WHILE FUCKING

    BEE

    BEE

    KING


    IS PERFORMING

    I've heard nothing but great things about that album, so I'm definitely getting it. Do you know about her other one though? Because I don't and I'd really like to.

    Metric does a good show from what I hear, I saw Emily Haines and that in guelph with Do Make Say Think. She wasn't with Metric though. I bet it was awesome.

    How was Do Make Say Think? A friend saw them and loved them. And yeah, Metric was amazing. They played with The Dears (also amazing) and Tokyo Police Club (actually quite bad).
