Delicate steve is great, and Sufjan Steven's Illinoise may be one of the best albums I have ever heard.

BobShmob Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:32 am

Corvus Corax it TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!

... And I'm just checking out their other project Tanzwut, which is more metal-ish Happy

I just got Brandon Heath's new album Leaving Eden; ITS AMAZING! One of his songs, Your Love, was the top Christian song as of last week! he is such an amazing artist! <3

I am newly obsessed [big surprise] with Tom Lehrer. This guy is a GENIUS.

Quite literally, actually, as he was a mathematician, too. Which would explain his songs. Laughing

KillerBunny Wed Feb 23, 2011 9:40 pm

Isn't he the guy that wrote the elements song? That song is awesome!!!!!!!

Insanity Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:06 am

He's also the guy who wrote the New Math song. But my favorite... ohhh ho ho, my favorite, is called Poisoning Pigeons In The Park.

My computer blocked the link so I looked up the lyrics Puzzled

I don't even know where to begin. Did you know that Nikola Tesla was obsessed with pigeons. And the number 3. And he hated jewelry, especially pearl earrings.

There's another New Math song by some other guy too. That is less appropriate. Lehrer's song is totally not inappropriate.

>.< I totally confused myself there.

BobShmob Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:47 am

The messed up one is by Bo Burnham Dead

Insanity Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:13 pm

@Jessica: Huh? Who? What? Why would I care about Nikola Tesla? Puzzled

@Ian: Again, I'm still talking about Tom Lehrer. I'm not caring for whoever did what song elsewhere right now. :p

**azer** Thu Feb 24, 2011 3:01 pm

Spoiler:

(note: this is minus the inappropriate lyrics)

Well he's awesome and invented the Tesla coil. I just did a project on him so I have a bunch of random facts.

This thread is sadly devoid of any life.

Anyway, Beach House, Vampire Weekend, El Ten Eleven, Sin Fang, Pavement, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Album Leaf, Mogwai (even more so than the last time), Deerhunter, LCD Soundsystem, Dorena, Moonlit Sailor, Appleseed Cast, Wu Man, Goonies Never Say Die, Fleet Foxes, Slint, Underworld, Flaming Lips, Fleet Foxes, and others.

Hugh Laurie happens to be an amazing musician. The songs he wrote from the A Bit of Fry and Laurie days are hilarious, especially Mystery.

**azer** Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:51 pm

It is funny, but I would disagree with 'amazing.'

Insanity Thu Apr 28, 2011 5:36 pm

I mean 'amazing' as in he plays 5 instruments, piano, guitar, harmonica, drums, [mouth trumpet], and he sings.

I heard "The Freshmen" (http://grooveshark.com/s/The+Freshmen+acoustic+/3AV6tT?src=5) for the first time the other day and listened to a couple of other songs by The Verve Pipe... they're pretty good! I never realized how awesome Shinedown is, either, until today. I especially like this one, with Lzzy Hale: http://grooveshark.com/s/Shed+Some+Light+feat+Lzzy+Hale+Of+Halestorm+/3nP28E?src=5

BobShmob Thu Apr 28, 2011 9:49 pm

I really like the band "Man Man" esp. their song "Black Mission Goggles"

Also, Cantus Buranus by Corvus Corax is awesome (And sounds great on my new headphones Happy

)

**azer** Sun May 01, 2011 11:49 am

Fugazi is good, and Animal Collective is brilliant. "Summertime Clothes" from Merriweather Post Paviliion is probably one of my favorite songs ever (My favorite song is probably "Holland, 1945" by Neutral Milk Hotel).

I really like the band Fireflight (The entire album "For Those Who Wait" is just amazing) ... also today I heard on the Radio 104.5 studio session thing this band called Kingsfoil. The acoustic versions of their songs aren't anywhere else, but what I heard on the radio was really cool: http://www.kyte.tv/ch/wrff-fm/live-at-5-kingsfoil/p=3406&s=1326985 I really like them Happy

**azer** Sun May 08, 2011 12:03 pm

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People is a wonderful album. Allthough it might not sound like it from the title, Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl is an incredible song (the singer is the same one from Metric.)

BobShmob Sun May 08, 2011 12:36 pm

Yeah, I know, right! They're awesome Happy

(though not Metric so much Dead

)

Also, listening to Deine Lakaien, and really enjoying it- pretty good band

Ha... I actually like Metric better (they're alright...), though her voice is not all that impressive to me. And sorry Asher - I just couldn't stand it: you only have a "(" and no ")" and my OCD exploded. ARGH

<-- like that.

**azer** Sun May 08, 2011 4:56 pm

I actually haven't heard much Metric beyond Gold Guns Girls, a song that I despise on a fundamental level, so I can't really comment.
