the spoken word
this compilation album rules. it's poetry based on slam competitions. if you want some visuals check out the documentary slam nation. get down, and pumped up with saul williams chucking amethyst rocks.

hieroglyphics - full circle
spotty on beats that hit. lyrically alright, i'm not familliar with any of the mc's. i enjoy it right now, but it doesn't sound like something that i'll remember in a few years. give it a chance at earshot at least.

I just listened to Zyklon's "Aeon". Not bad. Glittertind's "Evige Asatro" is pretty cool, too.
Finntroll's "Nattfodd" is great! I've been listening to it on repeat quite a bit.

REM - Out of Time

I need to get more into REM. this is the only album I've really listened to much because my parents had it when I was a kid and I was at the age where you listen to and like whatever you're around. I didn't listen to it during the age of not liking things your parents like, but now I've reached the age of being a normal person and just liking stuff because I like it.

you can fast-forward the first 30 secs or so unless you want to hear a cow getting beaten. don't bother watching the vid either if you don't want to see animals getting abused.

that's just some vid some dude put the song to. granted the song is about animal rights.

that whole album is more of the same, in a good way.

http://propagandhi.com/audio/ has some more songs. Back to the Motor League is from Today's Empires…

Die Jugend Marschiert is good too, from the newest album.

how to clean everything is a huge departure from today's empires.

here's a little background: for how to clean everything (1st album) and less talk, more rock (2nd album), they had the guy who's the lead singer/guitarist for the weakerthans on bass. he sings on a song on how to clean everything (showdown/gep) and a couple of songs on less talk, more rock (anchorless and gifts), all of which are great. he left to go form the weakerthans before today's empires came out so they got a new bassist for that one (he fills a similar role re: the singing on some songs: ordinary people do fucked up things when fucked up things become ordinary, new homes for idle hands, and bullshit politicians, most notably). so their music changed quite a bit.

anyway, how to clean everything is like pop-punk kind of. they were on fat wreck chords and friends with fat mike of nofx, to give you some idea. it still rules.

less talk, more rock is getting more punk I guess. I don't know, I'm bad with genres. it's not as metal or hardcore punk as today's empires, but it's definitely on the way there (see the track rio de san atlanta, manitoba).

they're all so different so I'd definitely say check them all out! I'd go backwards before I listened to their newest stuff, though.

was listening to a 24bit/96KHz FLAC rip of Sun Kil Moon's April on my B&W and it sounded very nice.

most vinyl rips fall prey to the equipment they're done on but this sounded really spectacular.

cursed, but the demons i confronted with dispersed
i've been blessed recently with more amazing music at one time than any other time in my life... so i thought i would share a list of the best of the best:

kid cudi's mixtape "a kid called cudi" - 4/5 (the first 8 tracks are 5/5)

liz phair - exile in guyville - 4.5/5

neil young - on the beach - 4/5

roots manuva - dub come save me - no rating yet..but its good good good

wiz khalifa - prince of the city - 3.5/5.. solid. if you like lil wayne this is just different enough to stand up on its own... his later cds sound like a lil wayne ripoff

yo la tengo - i can hear the heart beating as one - 4.5/5 fucking sweet

others: billy bragg and wilco - mermaid avenue
cadence weapon - afterparty babies (i know ... it seems like just more backpack hiphop...but this one is different)
groove armada - goodbye country
jeff buckley - grace
the kinks - to the bone
madvillain - madvillainy (this is better than mf doom... but a little jazzy..beware)
matthew sweet - girlfriend (great guitar pop from the early 90s)
ghymefest - man in the mirror (whole album makes fun of michael jackson... kanye west loves this guy)
teenage fan club - grand prix - more awesome guitar pop
and

and

the pop-rap song of the summer has got to be young jeezy's "my president"

i've been listening to and downloading electronic music for the past few days. right now i'm all about: monolake - alaska melting (minimal techno which sounds like you could make it with a couple of spoons, 3 pots, 2 pans and a gong if you had 100 years to practice)

and ulrich schnauss - far away trains passing by (this one is the richest and most soulful electronica i've ever heard. its the sound that would be made if god was mixing a drink by the ocean)

its the funniest thing i eva heard
if you could upload it to rapidshare Lucas i would luv ya man.


ThaMouse its hard to get this because it is the original album and you can't even buy it on their official site anymore.
After their lead singer Hashmeer left in 2000 they re-recorded it and threw in some new crappy songs they re-released it as "Stepping on the Crowtche owf Your Americain Presidaint" look it up on wikipedia...


here is a rapidshare link for "Stepping on the Crowtche owf Your Americain Presidaint"
just put "share" in link
