Comments:
The final product of a boring evening messing around with my left handed acoustic.
Incase you couldn't tell i don't take myself all that seriously,
but enjoy it all none the less.
Pretty much this recording in it's entirety was just improvised,
in saying that i guess i'm kinda pissed i can't remember a lot of it.
Artist name came to me at the last minute, will always be flexible.
Cus/Marcus. Cus/Custard. Re---tard.
Love how the planet reflects in the Itunes album viewer, haha.
Certainly had fun recording this, despite all of the 'amateurness'.
Will most definetly record a second on my dodgy mic, possibly detailing Farlay's earlier days.


Setting:
Based on an entirely fictional planet named "Farlay", whose exact universal location i'm not quite sure.
The planet itself is extremely technologically advanced. The assumption is made by it's general silverish colour anyway,
portraying a digital/futuristic world. Trying to make it seem as if we don't have much knowledge of Farlay, or it's possible
inhabitants to an extent. This EP takes you beyond the basic 'Who, What, Where, When & Why?' jumping straight into
the middle. Instead of an introduction the story begins during the destruction of a previously healthy planet. It ends with the
heavily clich'ed 'What next?'.

First 11 minutes of Rage Against the Machine live @ Coachella. Songs are Testify, Bulls on Parade, and my favorite People of the Sun. See Zack with his 'fro and Morello rip it up. YEAH!!!

Decent footage, not like the camera-phone shite on youtube.

[Cable]

Yes. If you don't your penis gets chopped off so painfully that you'll reach a high-pitched wail like Geddy Lee.

I like that. No, it's not the law. Rush isn't as popular anymore with the new generations. They did sell out their show at the ACC in a matter of hours and then schedule another one though.

Rush songs? The new album is good. There's so many old songs to choose from too, let me look ...

*Working Man
Fly By Night
*2112 Overture / The Temples Of Syrinx
Closer To The Heart
The Trees
*The Spirit Of Radio
Freewill
*Limelight
*Tom Sawyer
Red Barchetta
New World Man
Subdivisions
Distant Early Warning
The Big Money
Force Ten
Time Stand Still

That's the track list of the greatest hits I have, all those songs are solid. The ones with stars are must-listens. There's nothing later than 1987 on there though, so add Resist, Virtuality, Test For Echo and Driven to that list.

[sucram]

Say....Geddy Lee. Carress of Steal owns.

[Axel]

I need some new hip hop songs.

Any suggestions?

[Tuomas]

Just saw Redman last night, it was incredible. The fact that we waited a couple of hours earlier to get in paid off; we were as front as you can get, a meter away from the stage.

Just watch any Rich Boy videos on youtube. He's the bomb.

[Oznogrd]

At the DEMAND of shadowgrin I'm posting the necessary NIN songs you must hear...if you're a fan at all of them, you've heard most of these but thats alright. Also, these are just singles to give you an overview/taste of NIN, you want the full power; grab the albums. The Downward Spiral is sheer orgasm on a CD, and the rest arent bad. I didnt put descriptions for all of them

1. Closer
Come on, this has to top the list. Their biggest hit and pretty much has every element of what makes them great. ominous undertones, heavy beats you can dance to, and sexual lyrics that make you wanna "fuck you like an animal". The best is when you have girls around if you can get them into this song, drives them wild
2. Heresy
Trent's anti-religous song. My personal favorite of NIN. I traumatized some of my friends by singing this in a chapel once
3. Starfuckers Inc.
Trent's fuck you to hollywood. Great beat, and lyrics to scream to. Have fun moshing to this
4. Head Like A Hole
A great angst filled song
5. Terrible Lie
Another angsty song
6. Capital G
The only one on year zero that hit me like a brick the first time i heard it...anti-war song perhaps?
7. The Hand That Feeds
Alot of people say Trent sold out on this album, but I love it...so fuck them.
8. Thats What I Get
9. Hurt
10. March of the Pigs

[shadowgrin]

Sweet. Thanks.

You are dismissed illini. You may kowtow as you leave.

*hushes illini away*

[Gundy]

Throw "Only" on that list too. I fucking love that song.

[Colin]

New albums I enjoyed:

DJ Jazzy Jeff - The Return of the Magnificent
Blue Scholars - Bayani
KRS-ONE & Marley Marl - Hip Hop Lives
Redman - Red Gone Wild
Devin The Dude - Waiting to Inhale

Couple new songs that kick-ass (not off the above albums)
Common - The Game (produced by Kanye West, scratches by DJ Premier)
Kanye West, Nas, Rakim, KRS-ONE - Classic (Nike Remix) (prod. by DJ Premier)
Young Buck - Get Buck (prod. by Polow Da Don) - mediocre rapper, FANTASTIC beat.
Papoose - Victory 2007 (prod. by Jimi Kendrix)
Joell Ortiz - Keep On Callin' ft. Akon (prod. by P-Money)

[Its_asdf]

I'm in love with Meet Your Master from NIN's Year Zero album.

[Gundy]

I guess I'll post this here.

Have any of you guys heard of imeem.com? You can basically listen to any song you can think of on it for free. It is great for iPodless people like me.

[Dramacydal]

That KRS-One & Marley Marl album is the bomb, I absolutely love it. Best album of 2007 so far.

Those who haven't heard of it yet should also check out the "Space Music" album by Dyme Def, I really liked that one aswell.

It wasn't as good as it would've been 15 years ago, but definitely a worthwhile and enjoyable listen. Other than the beat for "Musika" I thought everything was solid, but not everything was great. A solid 7.5/10. And I liked Devin's album Waiting To Inhale more. It's my favourite '07 release so far.

[Dramacydal]

^I agree that it isn't perfect but with all the crap that's being released these days this one definetely stands out and personally I'm not a big fan of Devin The Dude so that's why to me Hip Hop Lives is the best 07 release so far. But yeah, 15 years ago this album would have been even greater.

I'd rather fuck a farm animal then listen to Rich Boy.

edit:

thanks for the music Colin, I'll check it out later today.

Spreading the love, eh?

[shadowgrin]

My recovery from Rich Boy isn't complete unitl I victimize someone to listen to him, like you did to me Tuomas.

Axel, don't hate, appreciate.

I'm glad that Rich Boy nightmare-last-song-syndrome for me is over.

[Colin]

Rich Boy is worth listening to simply for the production from Polow Da Don. The man has just been churning out hotness.

[Gundy]

Is it music if there are no lyrics?

[Its_asdf]

Of course. A lot of the best songs out there can be instrumentals.

[Gundy]

I was referring to Rich Boy's shit marketed as music. not sure if you knew that or not

Heh, no I didn't. I don't listen to "Rich Boy" or any other southern crap rap that's out there. The South has turned out some pretty big turds lately and have almost turned me off completely from rap music. There are a few exceptions of course, but I can't stand Southern rap in general.
