I finally found time to start creating playlists for the iPod. Master of Puppets followed by Moonlight Sonata just doesn't work.

Latest playlist is "Mellow (Instrumental)". Top five tracks are:

- The Lonely Sheperd
- Title Music from A Clockwork Orange
- Moonlight Sonata
- Fur Elise
- Falling Out of Hyperspace

I wouldn't mind taking some recommendations for more sort of fairly light, modern, country-esque rock if people know what I'm talking about. Stuff in the same vein as Wilco, Bright Eyes, Mark Knopfler, etc.

Can't help you with that, Alex.

I've been introduced to the wonder that is Aina, a who's-who of power metal musicians getting together to create a prog metal opera. Pure awesomeness.

Currently streaming their album on last.fm at work :D

WIDESPREAD PANIC

Southern-fried rock that's incredibly interesting and consistant throughout their whole discography. No odd pop leanings like Wilco, no Knopfleresque lyrical blunders, etc. Their debut is spectacular, although you should be aware they're renowned as a jam band -- not all songs reflect this, though. Also, if you like Wilco, you'd probably like Uncle Tupelo (band Tweedy was in prior to Wilco) which is alt-country. Most of it's good, 'specially their swan song Anodyne. And lastly, Son Volt, which was the band Uncle Tupelo's co-founder made. It's kinda hit or miss and his vocals didn't really improve over time (IMO), but Farrar is stellar on Trace. Never listened to Bright Eyes so I can't compare, but sounds like it's singer-songwriter semi-rocktastic stuffs. S'all pleasant, I'm sure.

I'm listening to this mix right now

it's more the electronic department, but ony listen if you've got quite some bass ready, this is nothing for tiny PC-Speakers...

Not once, but twice, I have been asked by people about the band: "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" because they have seen it so often under my currently listening for MSN that they assumed it was the band name, and the track names were just getting cut off because the title is so long.

I will never ever get enough of that song.

Ah, Karp. Always good for some awesome (and unique) metal. I should just stick to whatever's on your last.fm page from now on. :)

Anyone who's been looking for the next album to completely blow them away, I recommend "Asura - Life²" which I just picked up off OiNK, and is definitely inducing more eargasms that anything else I've heard recently.

My beloved String Cheese Incident is breaking up this month =(

On the upside, I picked up the issue of Relix that is covering the split, and the sampler disc that came with yielded some great tunes, and there are a couple of bands scattered throughout various articles that I plan to check out.

:(

On the upside though, the album "Night" by the prog band Gazpacho gave me like the most unexpected incredible "holy ****" experience from start to finish on my MP3 player today at work. I just got it on a whim, and it's definitely one of, if not the, best albums of the year.

The article in Relix was good, it left the reader to interpret why they might be splitting up. From what I gather, there were too many alpha-male personalities in the group trying to get their ideas, songs, and suggestions to the forefront, and one of them (Billy) is tired of the democratic aspect of the band and wants something he can be in total charge of. It also doesn't help that in a lot of live shows you can hear his sound being swallowed up by the others; I have to struggle to pick him out a lot of times in shows from the past two or three years. It might be an oversimplification to say the band is breaking up over egos, but I think that's kind of what's happening, which makes me sad.

Well, I saw Daft Punk in Toronto last night, and it was pretty much the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. There's not much else to say. Took a bunch of cool pictures and some poor-quality camera videos:

Glen Phillips, my favorite musician. A bit pop/rock/folkish with a twang of bluegrass here and there. Also: Mutual Admiration Society. Very good stuff. Enjoy.

This week has been Damien Rice, Caspian, and more Kayo Dot.

Damien Rice, most of you have probably already heard of. If you're into the Sufjan Stevens folk-ish kind of stuff, you ought to give him a shot. His music is remarkably simplistic, yet incredibly powerful.

Caspian is post-rock goodness.

Kayo Dot is just Kayo Dot. Avant-garde metal at its very best.

Kekeke, burned some good CDs today.

Rush - 2112
Son Volt - Trace
Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle
Ghost - Hypnotic Underworld
Widespread Panic - Space Wrangler

And Fiery Furnaces are awesome. Tropicool, tropicool...tropicool icy-land. (XD) ...I like that song.

Ryan Adams is alt-country, I think.

Also, new Arctic Monkeys album is great, and The Go! Team's first album is amazing.
