Trip Hazard Posted November 26, 2013 One of the best covers ever recorded. You can't sing along to it, you can't dance to it. You can feel miserable to it, which is precisely the point. Don't watch it unless you want to make yourself sad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dlohScIKRY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nachimir Posted November 28, 2013 I just found out about vaporwave. I only just found out about it because of you, Lacabra, and another friend. Much of this is gorgeous: http://soundcpu.bandcamp.com/album/holograms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted November 28, 2013 Gah! I like this band so much. Thank you Bryan O'Malley for basing Envy Adams on Emily Haines Yesssssss. Metric's one of my favourite bands ever, and the Emily Haines/Envy Adams connection (especially in the movie, when The Clash At Demonhead performed a then-unreleased Metric song) is my favourite thing. more Metric on accounta' why not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thrik Posted December 2, 2013 First new Ayreon album in some years is out. You definitely have to be open to prog metal and sci-fi cheese to enjoy it, but it's really awesome if you are — one of my all-time favourite artists thanks to the wonderful melodies and instrumentation, but the kind of music I have to listen to alone because wow this is some intense cheese. There's not much to share on YouTube yet so here are some blasts from the past: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW2g4NNKgdE [Edit] Found a preview clip for the new album: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Posted December 2, 2013 Alright, let's put some Latino culture up in this! Calle 13 is such a good group. They make me proud to be a Latino/Hispanic person with their socially relevant, humanistic, devilishly clever songs about Latin American life and issues. Here's the song translated into English for anyone interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted December 2, 2013 I love prog rock. I see your Ayreon and raise you a Van Der Graaf Generator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coods Posted December 3, 2013 This is the coolest damned song that never got the recognition it could have: This song is on Gimme Fiction, but I really dug ga ga ga ga ga, which is their next album that just happens to be hard to say without sounding stupid. Dont You Evah/Underdog/Cherry Bomb got consistent plays from me for years. Also in this time of no Thumbs songs, here's the folk song Chris put on the Spacebase album that I really like http://doublefine.bandcamp.com/track/the-settler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadHat Posted December 4, 2013 Love the shit out of Ayreon but haven't been able to crack into the new album yet. Whenever I try it just sounds way too familiar. I'm sure I'll get past that once I've played it through a few times, but god only knows how many times I've spun Electric Castle and Human Equation. Did you check out his side project Guilt Machine? Love the vibe on this album. It's a bit like Binary but more subdued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart Posted December 5, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJl-yvWxJx4 Oh god this song always gets me. And the moment it plays in the film (the ending) is amazing. Don't listen if you haven't watched Babel! The effect is lost somewhat. But still...goddamn, what a beautiful pair of songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted December 5, 2013 BadHat, that Guilt Machine track is fantastic! Thanks for posting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted December 5, 2013 Rodi I'm definitely enjoying the new album. I do feel it being four long massive tracks (or 42 tiny ones) is a miss, I'd prefer more traditional lengths for easier randomised playlisting — but there's some fantastic instrumentation and writing going on here. Even if he is repeating himself a bit in terms of style (which I would also throw at 01011001), there's still unique stuff on offer. Some tracks have started appearing on YouTube, these are some good tastes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzuyye1Mt1U With that said, I think The Human Equation is going to remain my favourite album, and Universal Migrator Part 1 a close second. I have practically every Ajren album on CD, including Guilt Machine which yes I too very much enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadHat Posted December 5, 2013 Electric Castle will always remain my staunch favourite, it has my favourite instrumentation and cast of singers by a mile. If I ever had a ludicrous sum of money at my disposal I'd throw it at Arjen and have him make it into a stage production ala War of the Worlds. Anyway, I'll definitely give the new one another go, that track was quite enjoyable. As we're vaguely on the topic of folk metal, here's something I've been really digging lately even though I normally steer well clear of this sort of thing (sorry, it's long). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJl-yvWxJx4 Oh god this song always gets me. And the moment it plays in the film (the ending) is amazing. Don't listen if you haven't watched Babel! The effect is lost somewhat. But still...goddamn, what a beautiful pair of songs. Whoops, I listened having not watched the film. That was beautiful though, so thanks for convincing me to watch it. BadHat, that Guilt Machine track is fantastic! Thanks for posting it. You're welcome! The rest of the album is just as good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeyCat Posted December 8, 2013 Three words. Coheed and Cambria. One of the coolest progressive rock bands in my opinion. I've been a fan for awhile now. I totally recommend them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Ernst Posted December 12, 2013 My favourite albums of the year (no real order): Parquet Courts - Light up Gold Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap Vic Mensa - Innanetape My Bloody Valentine - m b v Earl Sweatshirt - Doris Also, I liked Neko Case's record but didn't listen to it enough to include it with the rest of the albums here. Albums that I listened to a lot but didn't come out year include the second White Lung record, Burial, and the second Elvis Costello album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLastBaron Posted December 12, 2013 I don't know what my favorite albums are this year, I don't even remember what exactly was early this year and what was late 2012. Kurt Vile is probably my aoty and Deafheaven is up there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
