The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret (Music up ins)

Skillaz

So, I have been wondering why there is no thread around here to talk about music, I mean I love music, and I love to discuss music that I like. I also enjoy reading about bands that are out there, I mean what is a better way to hear about bands than to have someone tell you about them.

So in order to fix this problem, of not having a thread to discuss bands, and find new bands, I decided to make this thread.

So let me start by telling you people about The Lost Art of Keeping A Secret




This is an old QOTSA song, from their album Rated R but it is one of my favorites. though I am sure most of you guys know about this band. so let me tell you about a little less known band Why?

They have good songs, though I think they are alternative indie, but they still kick ass.

The Vowels Pt 2


Good Friday


These Few Presidents


And this one right here is my favorite song by them, The Hollows


Now you guys talk here about music, and expose us to what music you like.

I want to find out about new good bands.

Sure we can, as long as we just keep it in the rock genre.

White Stripes are bad ass, I remember that back in High School I didn't like them, well that was because I never gave them a chance, I just remember not liking the people who listened to them. I figured that since they were stupid that the music they listened to must be stupid too, well I have learned to not judge music based on the morons that listen to it anymore, and now I give music a chance.

I spun a few of their albums recently, and they kick major ass.

I love how they sound like a garage recording for the most part, but a well produced garage sound. and I also love the simplicity that they bring to the field.

Jack is an amazing artist.

Two bands that I would tell anyone I care about to listen to are Electrelane and Delta Spirit.

Delta Spirit - People C'mon

Electrelane- To The East

You gotta check them out live then, very impressive, but the simplicity is definitley what makes it so appealing.
Hopefully the tour again.

Delta Spirit has only released one album, Ode To Sunshine.

With Electrelane, No Shouts No Calls is one of my favorite albums of all time. Very instrumental but when her vocals come out, it is amazing/

I have seen them live, when they opened for Deftones, and they were pretty impressive live, I don't know if I would want their cd though, I did like the pit they had though.

I am digging this Electrelane

I still intensely dislike the white stripes. The raconteurs are better than most mainstream rock though.


This song is fucking awesome

Not really, no, although I am no avid listener of The Flaming Lips

They're Jack White's other band, in which he ditched his ex-wife in favor of three gentleman who are considerably more gifted in the musical arts.

Skillaz

If you want to mention bands who put on a great live show, you have to mention Mars Volta, when I saw them live they were fucking amazing. I just love them so much.

Check out this live song by them.



I am so loving everything that I am you tubing of the Electrelane.

I am going to Best Buy tomorrow to buy one of their albums, which one should I get?

That song is a bunch of noise.

Haha, the mars volta live. The general consensus I've heard about them is that they're a bunch of pretentious twats who just jam for the entire concert and don't bother to play anything from their albums, which is okay if that's what you're expecting, but if you want them to play their songs I could understand being pissed off.

That is the best part though, you get to see genius at work.

I mean that must have been what it was like to be at a Hendrix concert, an hour long jam session.

Just so fucking amazing, to see a jam session.

Though Mars Volta does play songs from their albums live.

I need all indie hip hop immediately!

Recently I've had a hard-on for Aquifer, Optimus Rhyme, and this guy Andrew.

Jack white's other band is bad ass.

I am digging this song right here.

Quetzi

Also I ought to tell y'all about The World/Inferno Friendship Society

Because that there is a damned good band

They play what I guess is being called cabaret punk, but to hell with labels, give them a listen:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7DANF6hgd4
The actual song starts about 1:45 in

I don't know. I couldn't find one, so I made one. I had no idea that they were ever not cool anymore.

I have not heard of this band before, but I dig it, it reminds me of lounge music, if it was done by weirdos.

L|ama

Oh man you know who cannibal corpse are you're so brutal :twisted::twisted::twisted:

this is still their best song anyway
"This is a song about shooting blood from your cock"

Forever Zefiro

I just looked through the rules sticky and didn't see anything about it. There was something about music piracy

Perhaps it is unspoken or maybe I missed it?

I hope not because I've been meaning to check out some new music

Yea I always liked I cum blood

But my favorite is




Check this out, it is funny.


edit: Now this is brutal

L|ama

I'm guessing from the preview image that that is Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine.


Nah, it was just decided that most music threads come under the 'no megathreads' rule, nothing to do with piracy.

I have seen better achewood comics, but that one did make me laugh.

Really now, any band where someone like me who watches the history channel a buttload can still learn more about the Eastern front of WW2 from reading their lyrics is a great band

"No Shouts No Calls" is my favorite. It is the one album I have ever bought based off the artwork alone, and it turned out to be my favorite. Their earlier stuff is good, just less polished. Not sure you can find it at Best Buy though.

Skillaz

I never heard of them before, I guess Hail of Bullets is cool, especially if they are talking about some of my favorite subjects. I love history, and I had no idea that a band would sing about killing Jews and Nazis, that is awesome, if they do talk about killing nazis.

I mean who doesn't like hearing about death and blood.
