Journal Entry: Thu Apr 24, 2008, 2:31 PM
i'll be away until this time next week, even though i'm horribly behind already, i promise i'll catch up as soon as i can.


as the title suggests, i shall be following one of my favourite bands around the country. again. heh porcupine *cough* tree *splutter* *heart attack* ahem *death*.


and now for something completey un-python related:


i want music recommendations, because i love music and always want more (maybe some of you remember the music whore thing...), and it also gives me an interesting insight into other people. what we love and loathe gives an insight into ourselves.



so recommend away.

Album I'd suggest buying. "I'm wide awake it's morning."

Say Anything
Punk Pop
They have very quirky and occasionally profound lyrics with a fun sound. Some of it is just plain silly! ^_^ I'd suggest the first song you listen to be.. "Alive With the Glory of Love." Look up the lyrics. It's about Bemis's grandfather who was in the holocaust. It's really quite beautiful.

I'm not going to ask you to,
but it would be nice,
if my gallery had visit from you.

Frou Frou/Imogen Heap
Autolux
Landon Pigg
Editors
Robots in Disguise
The Noisettes
My Morning Jacket
Flyleaf
Mew, because Mew is my absolute favorite band ever right now except for Tool and all bands Maynard-related.
Kaki King (her music is mostly innovative acoustic guitarisms, but it's amazing anyway. Apparently guitars don't have to have lyrics set to them to sound good.)
John Mayer, if you haven't listened to him yet.
Jack Johnson, if you haven't listened to him yet.
The Raconteurs
Placebo
Mute Math
Goapele
Regina Spektor
Digable Planets
Emilie Simon
Duke Ellington
Stevie Wonder

this list is getting very long.


...I just realized you probably listen to all of these people already.

Some keys might need locks, but others make beautiful music when they bump against one another.

Yay, I was actually going to recommend Say Anything, I'm glad they're appreciated.

And yes, Alive With the Glory of Love is exceptional, I also like "The Church Channel" on In Defense of the Genre.

As I stated earlier, I second Say Anything, but some others would be:

The Birthday Massacre

Saul Williams (I've sent you links to his poetry, but his music is also exceptional)

Arcade Fire

Blaqk Audio

BT (Electronica/Instrumental/Phenomenal)

Clint Mansell (Orchestral)

Coheed&Cambria (I know, I know... screamo, but I like his voice, shush)

Emery

The Fall of Troy

Genghis Tron

Idiot Pilot (the album "Strange We Should Meet Here" mainly)

Lacuna Coil

Lunar (Free Electronica)

The Mars Volta

MC Chris

Mindless Self Indulgence

Nightwish

Opeth

The Party of Helicopters

The Pillows (Japanese)

Queens of the Stone Age

Ratatat

Saskrotch

Shy Child

And I think that concludes my list.
I'm sorry, I swear I cut it down, and kept it to the ones I wasn't sure you'd heard of. Hope that helps.

Dude! "The Church Channel" is amazing and In Defense is should be every artists credo! Haha! Wow. I've seen some of your comments on her poetry and they are usually very useful. I don't know why I never thought of adding you. I'd love if you read some of my poetry. I'll be sure to do the same. And from what I've seen so far.. Your quite the artist! ^_^ I'd be honored to receive any sort of critique!
