Giving Opeth's Blackwater Park another spin, preceded by some Black Label Society albums 8)
    got a voucher for look 'n listen for xmas, headed right on over and picked up rem's murmur. the deluxe edition. loaded disc one into itunes, went in perfectly, titles all good, etc. listened to the album from start to finish. ah, the good old days. disc two - an intimate li'l concert from the tour - and the disc is corrupt. don't you hate that? ah well, 2012 is gonna be all good for me. back to the store with me and my disc this weekend. simple swap and i'll be able to listen to murmur, live and beautiful, as 'twas meant to be.

    hold thumbs y'all

              so i used to rock out to this song called 'underneath the radar'. and then there was this track called 'born slippy (nuxx)' on the trainspotting soundtrack which i really loved, such a cool vibe. took me forever to link the two tracks to the same band. did i get a shock.
                Stumbled accross a guy called Ben Howard 2 days ago and promptly bought the album from legalsounds. This really blew me away.

                    Hi Dingwall. Thanks for the reply. His album is really something fresh in the folk genre. Not bad for a debut album.
                      RATM - bombtrack ?

                      the look on my wifes face... priceless
                        Angel Vivaldi's EP Universal Language ?

                        It's shred and it's heavy and I like it :-[ Very straight forward compared to my normal tastes but I guess sometimes you've just gotta come back to Earth ?

                        (This one's my favourite track on the album)

                          Most played albums the last few days

                          Cormorant - Dwellings (kinda Mastodon like but more black 'n sludgy, CHECK THEM OUT)

                          Evanescence latest - not bad. I'm a sucker for a pretty female voice, especially the ones who can also play kickass piano.

                          Alicia Keys - Element of Persuasion. Voice. Piano. Etc. ?
                            New Steel Panther album, somehow I love this band!

                                I'm on a nostalgia mission. I'm digging back to the 90's, my lard teens and early 20's.

                                One album that I are really disapoint is Dying Fetus's Descend into Depravity. I can hear the cut and paste guitar and drum parts repeat. No, no, bad Dying Fetus, bad.
                                  Bought a Folk 4 CD set called "Simply Folk" and there is some killer stuff on there if you need an entry into folk music (UK folk to be more specific)

                                  Ewan MacColl, Martin Carthy, June Tabor, Albion Band, Martin Simpson, Linda Thompson, The Watersons - collectively and solo, Dick Gaughan, Christine Collister, John Tams, Shirley Collins, John Kirkpatrick, Steve Ashley, Eliza Carthy, Anne Briggs, Bob Fox, Nic Jones, Oliver Knight and still a few more.

                                  A good mix of the old and new

                                  Each song is like a story, so Storytelling is the craft.

                                  Good Stuff

                                    Storytelling may be the craft but it needs to tie in with the intergrity of the song musically - I have been to too many folk open mic nights where some songs appear to go in for longer than they would have done if the writer had actually written a proper story 'in a book'!!

                                    Otherwise good stuff!
