Really anticipating the new Major Lazer next week. Loved/Love the track with the girl from Dirty Projectors - Get Free.

Now if we can just get a release date for M.I.A.'s Matangi...

The new Frightened Rabbit is unsurprisingly solid.

And I still can't get enough of Menomena's Moms album from last year.

In the not so near future... new British Sea Power coming in April! If you don't know BSP, check out their third full length album Do You Like Rock Music? One of my favorites.

Anyone here into prog rock?

I have been playing guitar and drums since I was about 13 or so. I really really dig technical metal (also called math metal) and prog rock.

Check out Animals as Leaders. Their guitarist (Tosin Abasi) is from Northern VA. Incredible music.

Been thinking about learning to play bass guitar, wicked.

Difficult?

It can be difficult. I mean, stuff like Les Claypool or Victor Wooten is not easy. However, you could probably pick it up fairly easily.

I would recommend getting a 5 string because it is a lot more versatile and as you get better you will appreciate the versatility more.

Same music I've listened to and enjoyed since I was a teenager, from late 50's Doo Wop to mid 70's R&R. Some old Country, Johnny Cash. When I need to focus, the Band Of Brothers soundtrack or Braveheart or something similar. To relax, Pachelbel Canon, Beethoven.

**camdenyard** · 02-16-2013, 07:52 AM

Been listening to Queen ..."We Are The Champions"...LOL

Do you like the scissor sisters? A lot of people think the guy singer for them is one of the more talented singers comparable to Freddy Mercury.

It's all about the classic for me.

Zeppelin, Queen, Stones Mellencamp, CCR, Marley

That and I love the 80's (Eddie Mahoney, Flock of Seagulls, Poison all the good shit) and 90's ( STP, Rage, Pearl Jam, Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters etc.)

Most new stuff out today all sounds the same to e. Catchy beat, a few words and a chorus over and over and over and over again.

No, I haven't but thanks for the recommendation. I just listened to a youtube clip of Soggy Bottom Boys. Good stuff.

**Mista T** · 02-16-2013, 01:53 PM

Same as every offseason: Country.

Still love Delta Blues, just doesn't change.

Saw them live here in town a couple years back. Really wish they could come back or somewhere close by soon

Add in Muse, Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace, Pearl Jam, Breaking Benjamin, and pretty much a mixture after that...but def NOT U2!! I can't stand them lol

Love them!

Saw them live when I lived in San Francisco and they are damn talented.

Fun. reminds me of them.

Here Come the Warm Jets by Brian Eno is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.

And the album "Berlin" by Lou Reed is the most heartbreaking, emotionally magnificent album I've heard. Nothing digs deeper into the soul of an artist. Lou Reed is just a master genius. The emotions he expresses in his songs are just so complex. His song "Coney Island Baby" is what I listen to anytime I'm feeling down and out. It would make a great theme song for Joe Flacco. It even has some football-related lyrics.

TBH, I'm not in much of a music mood at the moment. But I have some albums by Sigh, My Dying Bride, Vision of Disorder and Godspeed You! Black Emperor to get through. Really want to get the last Pig Destroyer album too.

Other than that, thinking of going back to some Merzbow, Testament and Candlemass.
