...music is still around...the good stuff just doesn't always get public recognition...
Coldplay - X & Y
Better Than Ezra - Before the Robots
Dishwalla - Dishwalla
...and if you're into funk/disco -- Jamiroquia's Dynamite just came out.
yeah great music is out there you just gotta look 4 it..
opio - triangulation station
lyrics born - same shit different day
k-os - joyful rebellion
beck - guerro
al green - everythings ok
arrested development - among the trees
just 2 name a few
My 2cent's:
Snow Patrol - Final Straw
The Postal service - Give up
Rob Thomas - Something to be
and I second HieroHero with Beck's latetest Guero.
Music television and Radio won't help much though. I hear ya.
Keane - Hopes and Fears
The Killers - Hot Fuss
I have this...nice kinda 80's flare to it. Some of the songs are kinda depressing but "Such Great Heights" is wonderful. It reminds me of me and my boyfriend.Quote:

Speaking of music, I dug into my mom's CD collection the other day, (how pathetic that a 37 year-old dude has to break into his mommy's CD collection, but anyway...) and I grabbed and blew the dust off of Al Jareau's "Breakin' Away." Boy was that album fun to listen too. I forgot how much I enjoyed that album. Old Skool, baby!!

Leela James.....
I agree; Al Jarreau is really good to listen to. However, he's not so much fun to watch; have you seen those scarey faces he makes when he's singing?:eek:Quote:

I guess you'd have to have seen it.
Anyway, the album never bottoms out and carry's a singular feel through out it.
if you like non-stop metaphors i recommend Big Daddy Kane. of course its personal preference. oh man the cover of Daddys Home always cracks me up, but not his best.
hmm, recommendations are hard. my criteria for music is that it has to be good... thats about it.
anything/group that has been produced by Automator (Del, Zero 7, Gorillaz, etc).
anything/group produced by Flood (u2, smashing pumpkins, DEPECHE MODE, etc).
Dan The Automator produced Zero 7? :eek:
that would be the "anything" part. automator's mix of "destiny" is the best version IMO. :)
I've GOTTA hear it then, because I LOVE "Destiny"! :)
Yeah, he makes some ugly faces alright-- a cross between bad smells and constipation. He and Al B. Sure should get together and compare faces.

Back when I was 16 and working the summer at Pizza Hut, my supervisor, a woman who was doggone near thirty, wouldn't stop grabbing my butt because she was Al B. Sure's biggest fan, and she thought I looked like him!Quote:

Now Tim, you KNOW that's been my favorite PM Dawn song for years. I love that song (and all 10 of its remixes I've heard)!
Al was cool.

Martin gave me a press pass so I got to see the show literally inches from the stage. He went to the swag counter and told the vendor to give us one of everything on the rack. Later that night we all hung out in the lobby at the four seasons hotel in DC and sat around the piano singing old Motown songs...truly one of the highlights of my life. I really need to get some of the pics scanned.
Man, I'm just glad that no one decided to say something stupid like, "Kayne West". Am I sick of that f!cker or what? Good producer, but put . . . the mic . . . down.
Anybody dig Gorrillaz? I heard their new album is straight, but always lookign for more input
I'd like some info on the new Gorrillaz as well. I got the first one and wasn't really feeling most of it, so it has made me somewhat hesistant to pick up their latest.Quote:

the bad news about the Gorillaz...automator didn't have a hand in the latest album
however, the dj working with them seems to be able to hold his on own and they still sound amazing.
