[Dreamboat] OFF TOPIC: New Music

[lizzz]

Great idea!!
I tried listening to Ghost Of Monks Hood but got an error message and
get on the CD Baby website for some reason right now, but I will
definitely give it another try later.

Fall Out Boy sounds like Green Day I think, great song titles indeed,
great tip!

Paramore, yeah, Avril Lavigne revisited hmmm not too sure about that.

My contribution to this discussion is Dutch band Racoon, www.racoon.nl
Great vocals and if you're into James Taylor type of songs you'll like
this. (IMHO). On Amazon there are 2 bands called Racoon, don't get mixed
up with the Samba style band, that's another one:)

Then a single that makes me happy every time I hear it; Gabriel Rios -
Broad Daylight.
And then, constantly in my CD player, not new, but a must for everyone
who loves Rock and STRONG Female Vocals (....); Anouk - Hotel New York.
Amazing!

lizzz

Alrighty then!!  I like this topic.  Okay, here it goes.
 
Fall Out Boy.  These guys embody so much all wrapped up in one  band.
Their 
most recent album "From Under The Cork Tree" doesn't have a  bad song on
it.  
The lyrics are clever, interesting, and hilarious all at  once.
Musically 
it's catchy, yet interesting.  Kinda like their  lyrics.  What really
floored me 
was the song titles.  The first song  is called "Our Lawyers Made Us
Change 
the Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get  Sued".  Or how about
"Champagne For My 
Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham  Friends".  You get the picture.  If

you've got a sense of humor, this  music is for you.
 
Paramore.  This is a new band out of Tennessee.  Very energetic  with
solid 
musicianship.  The lead singer sounds like a cross between Avril
Lavigne and 
Kelly Clarkson.  Not bad, huh?  If you've already had a  chance to check
out 
Fall Out Boy, the music is somewhat similar.
 
I hope Vik and I aren't the only ones here listening to new music.
Let's 
here from the rest of you.

Ok, this is very off topic, but since there hasn't  been a great deal of
'on 
topic' discussion as of late, I thought I'd  interject a different sorta

musical 
thread.   I invite everyone  to share in this.  

In the name of broadening our musical  horizons, I would like everyone
to 
discuss some new music that you all  have discovered recently.  Also,
how you 
found 
out about it and why  you like it.  Doesn't matter what it is, how old
or 
new,  
genre...  I don't care.  Let's just yak about great music for a  bit.
Want 
to?  :)  

I will start off by telling you  about a new group I discovered while
surfing 
on CDBaby.  It's amazing  how much kewl independent music there is.  I
had no 
idea.    There's this little modern psychadelic band out of Oklahoma
called 
Ghost  Of Monks Hood.  I get the feeling they are very indiginous to the
city 
 they 
live in.  They recorded their 4th album entitled, "Spider  Through The
Fog" 
...in some guy's bedroom.   They recorded it  themselves.  Very much 
underground.  
But, that's what's so kewl  about it.  Artistically, I give it much
merit.  
Musically, they  are on their way to developing a very kewl sound.  It's
hard 
for 
me  to describe their music.  It ranges from folk, a bit 'Dead-ish' at
times, 
 
some Floyd influences, some jazz elements, interesting keyboard
'sounds'.  
Unusually harmonies (with distortion at times).  There's a bit of  prog,
as 
well.   
Uhh.. You just have to give it a listen for  yourself, I think.  If
you're at 
all curious..  Go To  CDBaby.com  and do a search for the band name, or
Email 
me privately  and I'll be happy to give you a direct link.  You can
listen to 
a  
good bit a several songs from this album..   Seriously, I  consider
these 
guys 
my new little 'pet band' that I love to champion for  their sheer
audacity to 
record this kind of music and do it rather well.  It's fun.  It's 
renaissance, 
it's real and it's underground.   And I really love it.  So, turn up a
stone, 
my 
friends.   

Vik
