I'm currently listening to

Can I Get Get Get (Guns 'n Bombs Echo Parque Remix)
by Junior Senior
on gnbgnbgnb


I needed a pick me up.
I decided that there wasn't enough metal being shared currently so here's some of my favorites.

Mudvayne: Out To Pasture
Oh, Sleeper: Hush Yael
Bullet for My Valentine: All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me)
Five Finger Death Punch: The Bleeding
Shadows Fall: King of Nothing
Avenged Sevenfold: Chapter Four
How about some 60s music that is awesome? I'd be shocked if any of you knew this one. Mr. Creep by Spur.
And did somebody request...Metal? How about some bands that are going on the Summer Slaughter tour?
I forgot about this song, pretty damn good, coming back to it now.

I was playing Civ V earlier today so now I'm listening to Hybrid Rainbow by The Pillows. It's a thing I have that I always listen to the Pillows when I play that game. The two go together very well!
So, yesterday, I bought 6 new CDs, and I've already listened to them all. They are:
Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo
In Step by Stevie Ray Vaughn (for all you Texans)
Strikes by Blackfoot
Point of Know Return by Kansas
Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Pieces of Eight by Styx

I figured I'd let you all listen to what is so far my fave song off of each of those albums. Long post today.
So, there was a complete thunderstorm yesterday back home. And flooding. My neighbor's corn field is almost under water.

And I all could do was think of songs that mention rain.
(And for anyone wanting metal)

I may have been one of those people who got into their music through an anime, but damn they still have some really good stuff.
Can I hijack this thread a tiny bit to ask for some music suggestions? My poor MP3 player is sooo lacking, and my world is small, so I have not been exposed to as much music as I should have. The thing is, it might be a tad hard since I'm a bit all over the place. I'll name bands whose music I like consistently (really not that many) and post some songs I really like in the hopes that it'll help. For the most part, though, I enjoy music that has a faster beat and a singer with a pretty distinct voice. Oh, and if it sounds like an oldies song I might like it.

Groups I like: Queen, Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Harvey Danger, and Bowling for Soup.

Some songs:

Oingo Boingo. I've posted a song from them earlier. They basically released 80s style dance tunes with really unique lyrics and a unique sounding singer. You've probably heard his voice before. Oingo Boingo's lead singer, Danny Elfman, would end up becoming very close friends with Tim Burton and has done the soundtracks to nearly all of the movies he has directed. You've probably also HEARD him sing before, as he provided the voice to Jack Skellington in "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

The Psychedelic Furs were a really neat sounding group from the 80s (ok, I've been on an 80s pitch lately). Unique sounding singer also.
Talk Talk. Listen to their entire career. Over 5 albums, they went for sensible pop music to acoustic music to beautiful orchestral arrangements. Take a listen. (And yet again, more 80s with a one of a kind singer)
I really hope there was something you enjoyed in that selection, Hex! I just pulled some stuff out at kinda random.
I am mostly a jazz listener. Smooth jazz(tom scott) to jazz from the 1930s as well as jazz from artists like Vince Guaraldi, video game music, as well as music from japan. Here's an example of the said jazz music I'm into.

This is one type of Jazz I quite like.

Anyone else listen to Skillet's new album, 'Rise' yet?

I freaking love it!
^Nope, I haven't yet...
Well, here's a mix of stuff for my 500th post! Woot!
