Music now-a-days

damn there is a plethora of good music videos these days on TV.

The new Madona joint is off any hook ever hung up on! Damn, that song is too good.

The new Shakira joint is more cute then bunnies running through fields of amber in the spring time.

The new Lindsay Lohan song(don't act like you don't feel it) is off the chains as well. Although its never on air during the wee hours of the morning(the only time music videos consistently play - as if this makes sense VH1 and MTV?).

That 36 mafia song is catchy as hell.

The greenday song is amazing.

The Pussycat dolls song is alright, really catchy although repulsive at the same time for what it stands for.

I love another song, its on BET's countdown... The Jamaican or African Group (4, 5 guys) that sing an awesome melody(when you cry, I cry... I cry along with you...). It was 10 on the countdown yesterday, #6 a few days ago. That song is amazing too. I just found it, it's called Footprints, by TOK - a must listen too, absolutely transcendent.

Has anyone else noticed the seemingly goldmine of good songs out there now? Maybe it is just me, but the quality is good music on TV is sky high. Biggest disappointment right now is Gwen Stefani's song, it sucks. First taking Biggie's song could be good, but not slowing it down to a halt, blah, I expect more from her.

Plus my favorite two artists could have new joints out on the airwaves, but I will not complain in a time of musical abundance like this. Happy hunting.

i like gwens current one.. probably cause i dont know the original!
agreed on the dolls.. catchy beat but they seem stupid and probably had very little to do with the catchyness of the song...

shakira and lohan i havent heard yet.. the thought of lohan scares me after her first song..

actually while mentioning gwen.... something sickens me about her bit in pharrells new one... its gwen stefani yet she is like a mindless fembot with a subservient sounding line, repeated over and over....


just got the biggie one .. Hell , see what you meant... stefani had some nice lyrics to her credit..

ok what did i miss? gwen redid one of biggie's songs? please inform me.

aside from that, I must be getting old. I can't get into 95% of new music now-a-days. Wow, an old man by the age of 30, muttering to himself that they just don't write 'em like they used to.

Haven't heard it yet, but then I haven't liked much of anything Madonna's done since Vogue.

Good lord. As the stepfather on a 13 year old girl, I hear this song about 80 times a day through the wall. Please kill me.

I begin to wonder if your whole post was sarcasm. 3-6? are you out your mind? I don't feel them now, and I didn't like them much when they were called "tear da club up thugz" either.

It's ok, but I'm already sick of it. Why does radio and tv take even a halfway decent song and ruin it by playing it 1000 times a day? Never mind, that's rhetorical. And the pussycat dolls should not be allowed near a recording studio, ever.

I don't even much know, brother. New artists suck, most of them seem designed to be as sugar coated and non-threatening as possible. Just ask sdldawn, he posts here all the time about the latest boring music. I'm not attacking you, Sdl, but the last 2 years or so I would be a very rich man if there were some way to place bets on what boring ass, sleep inducing album you'd be posting about next here or at p.org . And if it's not the ongoing whitewashing of popular music, it's all dumbed down, or more cookie cutter than ever. And will somebody in the industry wake up and realize that at least 50% of todays hip hop does not belong on radio or mtv? This is not a quality assessment - the point is the songs don't make any fucking sense with half the words missing! I mean, yes you can fill in the words yourself, but it doesn't really make for good listening. It annoys the fuck out of me. It's not just new artists either, just about everybody sucks now: sonic youth, ani difranco, beastie boys, icp, sheryl crow, spin doctors, prince, the cure, twiztid, aphex twin, garbage, eminem, howling diablos, jane's addiction, jewel, juliana hatfield, krs-one, lenny kravitz, nine inch nails, sophie b. hawkins and the white stripes have all put out really, really shitty albums lately. and if i have to hear or see the black eyed peas just one more goddamn time i'm going to kill everybody in the room!

<end rant>

<duck> I like some of the Black Eyed Peas - I have the Elephunk and Monkey Business CDs. I am not that fond of the Humps song that is getting a lot of play, but I think there are a few goodies on the two CDs. Some of it is a bit candy coated, but I like that as well as deeper stuff.

I do know what you mean about the lyrics being cut out. Personally, for me, it is a major distraction when you release a song and have to have every 2nd to 3rd word cut out because all you can seem to write are curse words and blatent sexually descriptive phrases. I don't have much respect for people passing them selves off as artists just because someone (else, probably) put a beat to their latest ranting of crap. I am not a prude, I just don't find fun in listening to chopped lyrics. I liked what 2LiveCrew used to do - one album for the airwaves, one album for the home player. Now that I am married and have kids, I can't play it in the house, but whatever...I still have headphones.

I don't think today is much different from the past few years. If I find an artist's album where I like more than 2-3 songs, then they seem above average. Less and less do I find an artist where I like over half of their albums. Maybe it looks timecyclic, but I think it is just by artist. Now and then you have artists that float to the top that can really do good things and are allowed to do it. I grew up listening to Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, etc (all from my flower-child mother) and I can't find many songs that don't like in there. To me, PM Dawn is in that same class - hard to find a song you don't like...

Of course, gettimg married and having little girls has changed me a lot. Yesteryear I would have seen half these girls in the videos and would have been saying "yeah, baby! shake it!, check out those..." But now they just look like sluts and I fear their influence on little girls. Is it me, or do the videos seem more slutty than the 80s?

im "old" im not required to listen to new music anymore. Plus i gave up on it

i liked black eyed peas in the pre-fergie era,as for sdls recommendations.. a lot of the artists im not familiar with but i do agree with the george michael review..like that album... prince, big fan, still think current music is good.. its just that the genres it falls into arent terribly jumpin, rainbow children and N.E.W.S

this week i played the 1st cd i ever bought , crash test dummies-god shuffled his feet.. love it.. coincedentally if any fans of em are here.. which is the next best album to buy after this one??????

shame robin and barry gibb arent talking... there .. i said it

Yeah yeah, what he said. ;)

Shit. Well, I think that makes me old too...

Or finicky...most of the new stuff is crap. Ok, take Madonna's new album. WTF on the lyrics?! When will she figure out she's a performer not a writer? Ok, her old stuff, which I still love and listen to, was pop BS, but at least the words were doable. I could sing along to them (still do) without feeling like I lost IQ points in the process.

I'm also tired of everybody singing about the same damn crap. Their ho's, their money, their drugs, their freak on...at least figure out a creative way to do it. I was listening to Jamiroquai's "Cosmic Girl" the other day (for the upteenth time), and I realized how hilariously creative the lyrics are. I want to hear words put together that I don't totally expect. i want to hear some fucking poetry. That's why I got into PM Dawn, cause I can just read their lyrics without even the music and be satisfied with the beauty!

And the worst moment was when I was listening to Theater of Tragedy's "A Distance There Is" and realized that some scandenavians for whom English is like their fifth language can out-lyricize most American-born artists. That Shyte is beyond sad.

The last artists I got excited about were Anny Celsi (Her songs are like stories), Hem, and the Be Good Tanyas. But they're all country/folk artists, which is maybe why they still give a rat's ass. I don't know.

Harumph.

DUDE! I just pulled out the 3 CDs I have from them just a few weeks ago! I like the CD The Ghosts That Haunt Me as well as God Shuffled His Feet. Most of A Worm's Life was dark, slow, and crappy - some songs were OK. I never got anything else from them. I saw them live in Chicago and they sucked. The opening band (October Project) got a better review in the Chicago Times. It was not the first time the opener outshined CTD, so they dropped OP from the tour. BTW, OP was Excellent! You might like them. They broke up after only 3 years, but their 2 CDs were awesome!

i think theres tons and tons and tons of good music out there, none of its on the radio though heh (i havent heard any of the songs mentioned in this post even haha). but i do gotta admit most of the albums i buy are 10-30 years old. i think the only new artist ive gotten into in a while is a canadian band the birthday massacre.

I love the continuous background keyboard flow. Kind of Rick James-ish. Think: Mary Jane girls' "My House". The african-aphrodisiac-bass-drum boom is captivating.

I only like that song when I'm 3-sheets and in the dancehall.

Please, canwenevertalkaboutthisoneagain. I have loved her since 1996 (or '97?), when Tragic Kingdom came out. Then, later that year, I saw her in concert and the deal was sealed. So, let's just nevertalkaboutthisoneagain.

I love Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat". That is one of my top 5 favorite songs to dance to. When I saw Napoleon Dynamite dance to it, I was jumping for joy! He dances like I do when I'm all alone or I just not in the mood to give a shyte who's watching. Of course, I never do that in public but if one were to glance into my windows, they might see a maniac doing something ridiculous to that song.

Mistress, you're not old. You're just (rightfully) critical of the plethora of crap being leaked out into the universe.

(Now I have to look up "plethora" and see if I used it correctly.)



You also wrote "shit" instead of "shyte".............I'm telling.

Ok, I think I'm officially trying to hijack this post. (I'm still not quite sure what that means)

I have to mention one of the most commited, brave (she quit Elektra and started her own label, Tigress...... Plus, she often tours alone with just her acoustic guitar), and incredible artists I have come across.


Her first cd, "Blame It On Me" came out in 1997 and since then she's come out with 2 more (1 on her own label). She's got a voice that you either love or hate and her guitar-playing comes from something beyond her. An outside force, if you will.

If you are lucky enough to feel her vibe, then just go with it. It changed me and made me happier about being a girl (woman) in the world. About being in the world, period.




http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...music&v=glance


If you're interested and like it deep and subtle, check out "Blame It On Me".

If you like to be a bit more entertained (think:Neptunes production on a song or two), give "Fortune Cookies" a preview.

If you want to hear her latest and most non-radio-friendly cd, try "Surrender Dorothy"

October Project is amazing. And Mary Fahl's voice is amazing. "return to me" is one hell of a love song.

Oh, my bad. I forgot that if I put a "y" and an "e" then it became an unbreakable code that would not corrupt the youth. http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoti...ers/fing20.gif Shit is just crass, but shyte is artistic like a black motherfu*king turtleneck...

We need a chatroom again, desperately bad.



I'm still telling.


and I'm recommending liquid soap for you

Kinda funny, I've been really hating new music for a few years, but finally it seems like music's getting good again.

A couple CDs I like lately are the Killers - Hot Fuss, Coheed and Cambria - IV, Brandi Carlile - Brandi Carlile... hmmm, can't think of the others, but it feels to me like music is getting good again.

I love "Somebody Told Me"

I love some of the reggae that's been coming out lately. Buju's latest, Damian's new cd, Sean Paul.

Sean Paul has been either hit-or-miss lately, though. Us long-time fans can only reminisce about the days when he never made a wack song. Never. "We Be Burnin'" is my shyte, though.












i said liquid

favorite two artists, wendy, are PM Dawn and Seal. That combo is goes a long ways around these parts, not by accident I don't suppose.

I also truly adore "Murder by Death" who was first known as "Little Joe Gould"

waiting for seal to get his groove back tho...

"Crazy" is an awesome song. It's a good philosophy to have.
His remake of Hendrix's "Hey Joe" is pretty decent, too.
"Kiss From a Rose" was a good song to put out into RadioLand.
I think that Seal's baby is going to be gorgeous, BTW.

Does anybody here like HIM? I am mesmerized by his vocal skills. I must have heard his cd 66 times this month.

music ive been listening to lately are

franz ferdinand-you can have it so much better
madonna-confessions of a dancefloor-
beck-guero
chumbawamba-sing songs and a scrap
queen"with new singer paul rogers"/champions of the world
gorillaz/demon days
castlevania/dawn of sorrow and curse of darkness stdks
final fantasy advent children stdk

yeah i'm on the seal bandwagon. i love that acoustic version of crazy!

i've been listening to...all old stuff. 80s stuff mostly. worth a listen if you have the time.

my itunes highlights:
Peter Murphy - Love Hysteria
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In
Seal - Human Beings
Depeche Mode - Playing The Angel
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration
The Sisters of Mercy - A Slight Case of Overbombing
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine

Truthfully, I've been listening to a serious amount of jazz lately...

Keith Jarrett's new "Radiance" album
Albert Ayler's "Live in Greenwich Village" sessions
Ravi Coltrane's "Moving Pictures"
Andrew Hill's "Dance of Death"
Cecil Taylor's "Conquistador"
And I accidentally got a Joe Lovano cd "Joyous Encounter" which is seriously mellow.

And the last few days, I've been getting into Opera mode again, listening to Carmen and Traviata, and some Beverly Sills. Don't know if anyone else here is into this stuff at all...but whatever...it's what's been on my player...

My good, sullen, sad and affecting musicians I've come across lately I went and pushed into an iTunes iMix "studying stones" I labeled it. If anyone's curious you can sample that stuff there. Jame's Blunt and Ashton Allen being the newer of artists I've come across.
Also "living in Rome" good song and great video. http://www.nickelcreek.com/

never really listen to the radio much..

my tops for the year


Josh Rouse - Bedroom Classics Vol. 2 EP
Josh Rouse - Nashville
Paul McCartney - Chaos and Creation
Beck - Geuro
Ben Folds - Songs For Silverman
The Dissociatives - The Dissociatives
Wilco - Live in Chicago 2cd set
NIN - With Teeth (most of it)
Death Cab For Cutie - their new one
Sigur Ros - Takk
Genesis - Platinum Collection 3cd
Leaves - The Angela Test
Spoon - Gimmie Fiction
A-Ha - Analogues


Hopefully be adding Becks new Geurolito to this list...

I have been listening to a lot of older music lately, but as for new.. thats kindof been my favorites.. I have much more from this year.. but this is what is stickin

That video they did for their song "Speak" a few years ago blew me away. It's so simple but it's captivating, the way the song shifts and the way the characters are so utterly self-involved.

You can view it here:
http://search.music.yahoo.com/search...p=nickel+creek


I've never met anyone else that has heard of Nickel Creek.

Is anyone here into Spooks? I loved their first album, and their second came out last year without my knowing it. The reviews were across-the-board positive, but considering that it was grossly underpromoted, I doubt that many people bought it. Have any of you heard their second album? I'm going to buy it anyway, but I was wondering if anybody could gimme an advance report.

I like the lighthouse tale song alot... The video isn't as interesting as "speak" though... I thought that video was original and kinda funny... yeah "captivating".

Anything by Audioslave
Brad Paisley is a fav.
lifehouse and collective soul and allanis morrisette's music video is great
hard to do a cover but a.m.'s Crazy and Paisley's cover of Leila are both excellent. After that it depends on the moment unfortunately being old enough to remember the day mtv was touted as no commercials kinda sours the vh1 and all the other commercial crams imho cripes that's what makes radio a drag sometimes you have to wait 4ever to get to the tunes in between all the chatting, jokes, and contests
Love the music; not gungho over the biz.

Thanks for the link, humanity!
That's the first that I've heard her music, and I'm digging it! I think I'ma buy that record.
At times, the texture of her voice reminds me somewhat of Alana Davis (www.alanadavis.com), although Leela seems to have more oomph in her voice than Alana's ever displayed.
