A great last song ties up an album, bringing climax and closure to an aural experience. It should leave you satisfied, like after a great roll in the sack, providing a sense of denouement to the listener. Secret tracks don’t count as great last tracks; the requisite preceding 30 seconds of radio silence breaks the [...]
Like I needed another reason to jizz over Maynard James Keenan…
Listen to Puscifer’s “The Mission” immediately. It’s not on iTunes yet, but you can get the MP3 here and also listen to it at puscifer.com (ohhhh… and on MY profile page, stalker). It features Milla Jovovich on vocals (who I would also gladly have sex [...]
I don’t know who this Kevin Rudolf guy is.
But I like him.
I’ve heard this song on the radio a couple times. But it got stuck in my head since it’s featured in those damn repetitive Rhapsody commercials (the ones with the chicks in the bubbles). It’s damn catchy and makes me want to dance instead [...]
One of my favorite songs off of Londinium, Archive’s “Again.”
The original song is a commitment-listen, stacking in at 16:20. It’s filled with mostly musical interludes, but once it crescendos and gets going, it’s an indomitable piece of music. The lyrics connect with anyone who’s left a long-term relationship or been broken up with. The song [...]
So, per usual, I made the mistake of tooling around on MySpace instead of working on my grad school finals today and now I can’t get this dude out of my head.
I know I posted about him yesterday, but seriously, this song won’t leave my brain. Just so we’re all clear - I don’t get [...]
Do yourself a favor… delve into those couch cushions (I know we’re in a recession), go through your pockets, somehow dig up $9.99 and open iTunes and download Johnny Cash’s American IV: The Man Comes Around (or buy from Amazon).
Or you can be a communist and steal it, but we all know that God hates [...]
I have been listening to old WMMR podcasts to counter the homesickness since moving to Boulder. I started thinking about this article while listening to Preston and Steve’s show from April 3, 2006. They discussed the “perfect” album - an album that is the quintissential example of a band’s style and can be listened to [...]
It always seems to happen this way: as soon as I am about to embark on a long trip, my big iPod breaks. This occurred two years ago three days before I was to leave for Japan - and let me tell you, a Nano would not do on a 13 hour flight. [...]
Hello again! Hope the electronica suggestions I’ve provided have kept you satisfied between posts. Now we get to dive into the FuN genres!
PSY-TRANCE: This is electronica on drugs…Isn’t most trance on drugs you ask? Yes, I agree with you, but I am referring to trance on a DIFFERENT sort of drugs.. An example would be the [...]
Hello again, it is time to continue through the veritable jungle of artists and genres that lend themselves to the “Electronica” theme!
Oldies “electronica” hits that you may have heard of include Donna Summer’s I FEEL LOVE (70’s) and Soft Cell’s TAINTED LOVE (80’s). In my opinion, one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) electronic [...]
