They might be giants? 

Reverend Horton Heat?
Cream?
The Jimi Hendrix Experience?

Not TMBG or the ones listed in #408, I'm starting to feel like there may be a glitch in the Matrix. 

Jazzy Jeff? 

Found a mention of them in a Ron Jarzombek interview so decided to check them out and found lots of stuff on youtube. Got kind of hooked on Panasonic Youth (downloadable from their MySpace page) from their Miss Machine album and ended up grabbing the album too.

Greg Puciato's screaming sometimes gets a bit much, but he can kind of sing too, and the guitar and drum work more than makes up for it when you can hear it.

rocks.

you might like converge, too, although that's more metalcore than mathcore.

Any fellow Shantel fans here? I just got his new album Disco Partizani and damn it's nice. More vocals than on the Bucovina albums (don't know his other works) but well down. I love music from the balkan.

Can't see how one can enjoy that screaming growl metal rattattadam mess of noise above. I am missing rhythm and melody there. :o 

I stopped to get a beer and sandwich for lunch this afternoon at a place downtown and saw a posted advert showing the band will be playing here locally next week. Woo Hoo!

Oh, the band, Rusted Root.

I'm looking for durable ones to take around with me, preferably not too expensive. Maybe even a "collapsible" pair (that fold up).

Suggestions?

Is it me or is EVERYONE wearing those Koss headphones? 

 

 

To be serious they are decent headphones.
I can't say too much about the sound quality since I'm half deaf, but they're comfy, durable and fold up into a neat little lump. 

Kingston Wall. I picked it up again, thinking naah, it's the third album, it ain't that good. But it is. Gets better towards the end. The godlike drumming, and everything just works. The saxophone.

You guys really should get into it, it's a totally underappreciated band.

They only did three albums. The second one is the best. But get them all. Ultimate feeling music that gets your blood flowing.

It is brilliant.
Trent Reznor produced it so it sounds like NIN mixed with hiphop. 

Ambitious progressive stuff that also has power and takes you with in the rhythm. It's quite diverse and some songs suck ass, while others are great. :)

Heard them twice live, dunno how it'd work on a record. It probably wouldn't. 

NIN-hop is weird. It's very interesting; but it seems to drift too much into pop-/(too common hip-hop/rnb)-melodies in some parts.

needs a few more listens :o 

Bogdan Raczynski's got a new album coming out on the 19th.
It used to be called Yeeeeehhhaaaaawww but now it's called Alright!

Bogdan said
This one will be funny, I promise. No more of that accordion magic and 'woe is my' mystyness.

The new album is all about joy. It is the music I would play if the universe only had ~45 minutes left. Or if I were to pass, I would be content, knowing that I had unleashed a bit of happy energy onto the planet.

Think 1992 megamixes, trance, math beats, my favorite basil-based kitchen recipes, four to the floor, giggles and an explosive happy energy.

You can download the entire thing as a preview for free in 16kbps mp3.

I think the embedded player on his site has a bit better quality.

Well, it may be a King Crimson and other seventies proge ripoff in ways but nevertheless they had the ambition and balls and did it. It has some nice rhythms and unorthodox stuff but some of the absolute numbness of that era progressive stuff as well.
The whole album tells a real epic story as well.
I didn't like the music or story at first that much but it's slowly growing on me.

You can look up "punainen komentaja" on youtube to see a video that is a short summary of the story at the same time. WH40K inspired scifi, planets, battles, cyborgs...
Oh and everything in Finnish. So requires some openness of mind. 

sux, typical mtv "angry-young-men-and-they-are rly-serious-omg" stuff.

I�d recommend Brutal Truth or Pig Destroyer, at least their stuff is fun.
