Music Help?
I have A LOT of music on my PC. but i’m getting bored of it. can anyone recommend some decent music to download? i like stuff that has meaningful and political lyrics, or just really good bass. i like stuff like Asian Dub Foundation, Otep, Roots Manuva, Pendulum, etc.
any ideas?

Well, I guess you could try Clawfinger. It’s not really political, but somewhat meaningful. It’s metal-rap…. dunno if that’s something for you..
i’ll check it out.

I like classical
i enjoy some classical music, but only the really dramatic stuff.
Haha, are we talking along the lines of ragga-jungle / drum n bass / jump up etc?
If so, I have a few exclusives which I could email to anyone who wants them (I have the copyright).
Also, try checking out Jaydan, Generation Dub, Tub Dubby by Faction, Come Back by Chase and Status Feat Top Cat, England Story by Phantasy and Shodan or the Benny Page remix.
Ohh and more if you want any…
yeah i like a bit of jungle, anything you wanna recommend or send, go for it, i’m open to hearing any new music.
is being yourself alright with you? No offense, just a question, out of curiosity
Try Faction - Tub Dubby for a nice summery reggae vibe, or haha, in fact just get http://www.murderbot.net/audio/murder….
It got me through the summer, when I had no money or internet.
Let me know how you find it.
well, being so different from everyone else, I sort of need guidance

nice one, i’ll check it out but right now i got a bath to take lol.
I get comments from family telling me to be an angel face, I don’t wanna have kids or get married though, my boyfriends don’t agree. I wanna be a hermit and live with my many animals.
Try a site called last.fm
I recently found it and its awesome! I’ve found tonnes of great music from there. It allows you to search for songs and artists that are similar in sound to your favourite artists.

well for a while i wanted to live in a forest on my own. i sort of still do. but there’s nothing wrong with that in my opinion. and living with loads of animals sounds more fun than people anyway.

Do you want to see my profile? I totally trust you.

okey dokey. :)
No pictures of me, you know. I’m kind of umm, scared though. No joke, I suddenly feel scared.
hey don’t worry about it. it’s not like i’m gonna be mean or anything.
It’s more than that, not so much about your opinion. I’m sort of, afraid of you.
really? that’s odd ‘cos i don’t think i’m very scary. i suppose my hair is a bit scary but apart from that…
I think I’d be a little insulted if someone said they thought I was scary…*lol* Well, unless I was then I’d say “thank you!”
You seem pretty unscary to me….in fact I think I’m probably scarier than you! *lol*
no no, you’re frightening as in, a good way.
Ahahahaha, then I guess take that as a compliment!
Have to confess, I didn’t know that there was a good way to be frightening *lol*
oh right. well i still don’t get it but i guess that’s better than being scary in a bad way. thanks!
I mean, at my home, men, to women, are looked at as frightening, don’t know why. Just, my instincts getting the most of me.
ooooh right now i get it. (a little). well i don’t think there’s any reason to be scared of me. i’m a pretty chilled out person right now.
well, how about I give you my msn instead, do you have it?
yeah but i don’t use it often i’m afraid. my pc is very old so has trouble with things like that. i have myspace if that’s any help?
Myspace is unknown to me, what is it?
erm it’s like a website where you make a profile and you can talk to other people when you go on their profile. you can put pictures and videos and songs on your profile. it’s sort of like a site for chatting and meeting friends. i use it to talk to my friends that are too far away to just go see them.
well my msn is concaved_happines_dude @ hotmail . co . uk (without the spaces of course)
umm, which do you use the most, e-mail, or messenger?
i’m on msn now. but i use help more than both of those really.
what i mean is that i’m on msn now, but i don’t go on often. so the easiest way to talk to me usually would be on this site.
but right now i’m on msn so go ahead and add me lol.
I’m back, umm, are you free all day?
sorry it took me so long to reply, i was giving a CD to someone.
yep, check my profile:
graffiti, drawing, writing, reading, running, climbing, and just generally messing around.
I saw, I like to read, I like Aesop
i just generally enjoy reading anything. from the bible to Dickens to children’s books.
Do you really believe? I only believe in the lord
nah i don’t believe in what the bible says, it’s just an interesting book.
lol not really? not sure what you mean by goth?
where i live goth means someone that wears black clothes etc.
Gothic is a religion, I had a friend who was one
oh right yeah i know, it’s just these days you only really here the word goth used as a stereotype.
oh right, ‘cos it doesn’t seem to have worked? i dunno why?
it’s pretty lame here. my friends are cool and everything, but this town is really crap. it’s basically falling apart lol. and a lot of the people in this town are racist. so it’s pretty bad.
racist? what race are you exactly?
i’m white and English.
but i despise racism and other forms of discrimination.
yep, sort of. my accent is odd because i’ve lived in different places. why you ask lol?
Blue October–mostly old stuff but foiled album is really good too
The Weakerthans–my favorite band, has really simple lyrics, but they are deep.
The Eels–really relaxing and bouncy at the same time. makes me feel good :)

nope, i have a younger brother but i don’t really see him. my family is basically split in half.
I won’t ask how old he is, too young! I should let you know, you’re boring me, am I boring you?
Silversun Pickups- band from L. A. Relativly new group but all the members are seasoned
I love their bass.

you can never get bored of them and gerard way is so sexy rock on bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they are up and and coming
i have thier album and it is one of the few i can just let play i love all their songs
I like the Silversun Pickups too but I think a better song by them is Lazy eye…just my 2 cents
If anyone is interested a few good songs I’ve come across lately:
Ghost by Neutral Milk Hotel http://youtube.com/watch?v=T5vBw5LMZBc
Phantom Limb by The Shins http://youtube.com/watch?v=OkITsv3Nk6M
So Long to the Holidays by Ugly Casanova http://youtube.com/watch?v=kgEaqP4ZXzI
Not for everyone I’m sure, but I think they’re pretty good :)
I don’t know… Have you ever made your own music ?
Also, I recently discovered The Editors…they’re awesome too.
The Racing Rats http://youtube.com/watch?v=4uSqbMGGFDI
Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors http://youtube.com/watch?v=blP9LWyKqzI
Yeah they just had a show here that I unfortunately missed because I was sick :(
The lead singer from Modest Mouse is also Ugly Casanova :)
intresting story , some guy rushed the stage during a modest mouse show and dropped a folder full of lyrics, modest mouse got hold of the folder and used the lyrics in the ugly casanova songs!
Here are a couple of political songs, but kind of out of genre for you.
“Easy Silence” and “Not Ready To Make Nice” By The Dixie Chicks. I love the message, and you may enjoy it.
well that was a very odd conversation with anonymous lol.
thanks for the recommendations everyone, it’s all gone on a list of stuff to download.
but yeah i think that’s plenty now!
have you tried hadouken? they’re pretty awesome.
…
story of the year-until the day i die it a very good music message me back if u like it and i will tell u more if u want?
hey try streetligh manifesto its BITCHIN’!!!!
and if nothing else darude has some fun bass and gorillaz but im usre you listen to all that…hhhmmm tere was one other but i cant remember the name of the band right now
For metal, I enjoy Rage Against the Machine (mainstream) and recently found a band called Anger Is A Gift through myspace.
People either love them or hate them, but Dave Matthews Band ‘Stand Up’ album has some really great political lyrics and great beats. I don’t think it sounds much like what they’ve done in the past. Then again, most of his music really has some great messages (aside from the “romantic” tunes). **I will not argue about DMB - these are just suggestions**
*Chicago Afro Beat Project
*The Amino Acids (just a fun band)
*The Gaslights
*The Jim Jones Revue (on Myspace…has some great band links)
That’s what I’ve got - hope you like it - hope it helps! :)
Dj krush-kaleidoscope
Dj shadow-entroducing
Amy winehouse-Frank
Oldies(well, the first two), but goodies :)
come to daddy (just because it scares the s*** out of me)
it’s awesome but it’s messed up.
do you know what Aphex’s first album is? i really want it.
I don’t know if you would like them or not, but Panic! At The Disco is a good band. Ummm…
Inkubus Sukkubus is a Pagan rock band that’s pretty cool. It’s 80’s rock though…I can’t really think of many others. I’d have to go through all my music and CD’s.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=LiDC1-Ta-7s
christian metal. really deep/dark lyrics. more religious than political tho. sweet guitar solos. idk i thought you might like them since i saw that otep up thurr. =) lol but that girl is crazy.
Beck’s Hell Yes! EP. It’s so weird. Define Insanity. Enigma. Primus. Jan Hammer. Steve Nathman. Jeffrey Naness. Keane. Reel Big Fish. Sublime. Vangelis. Junkie XL. Darude. Xerox & Illumination. Hybrid. Professors of Funk. 311.
Check some of them out and check out my band :D (please?) , The Ultra Cheesy Flubbed Up Nuclear Cheesballs.
