MP3 list is stale, looking for suggestions, punk/rock or excellent
 

My mp3 list has really started boring me. Currently my favorite bands are Kotton Mouth Kings and The Translpants...

If I havent heard it, then it is new to me.

And I will try and listen to everything suggested and tell you what I think of it.

Thanks for the help.

Detroit Cobras...Their best song is "Cha Cha Twist". Its really cool.

Well, I listened to Cha Cha Twist, and it sure wasn't what I was expecting. The guitar wasnt bad though, and it does add some depth to my list, so ill see how it sits in there.

If anyone is interested you sohuld try out the following two songs:
band - song
Transplants - Tall Cans in the Air
Kotton Mouth Kings - Cruicial or Tangerine Sky

Try
bloodhound gang - Sweet as the Punch
incubus- turning japanese
sonic youth- sugar kane
the donnas- skintight
the white stripes- hypnotize
311- beautiful disaster
----a pretty broad and diverse buncha songs. try em out.

oh yeah
Ravonettes-attack of the ghost rider

kottonmouth kings-welcome to the suburbs
NoFX- Black & White
Rancid- Mt. Olympia
A.F.I.-Fall Children
Pennywise-Fuck Authority
The Adicts- Get Adicted

-NuKE (ssjtwizta)

Bloodhound Gang - Sweet as a(the?) Punch
I liked this a lot more than cha cha twist, its faster

Sonic Youth - Sugar Kane
slower, didnt like it as much, sounds kindof like everything else...
The Donnas - Skintight
still waiting for it
The White Stripes - Hypnotize
still waiting for it
The Ravonettes - Attack of the Ghost Riders
Not bad...for some reason it reminded me a lot of Blur, but it is nothing like it
NOFX - Black & White
Couldn't find it, found Dinosaurs Will Die which was flat out awsome
Rancid - Olympia
Song I found was called Olympia Wa., I am assuming it is the same thing. Deminds me of Dropkick Murphys, only more descirnable vocals. I liked this one.
AFI - Fall Children
Sounds a lot like Pennywise, fast....
The Adicts - Get Adicted
I didnt think much of this song until the guitar solo in the middle...The chorus isnt bad,

Thanks for the help so far

Alkaline trio, any song.

I got some Alkaline Trio, I like their songs Dead EnD Road and From Here To Infirmary

Have they ever played the warped tour? I was at the tour during 98, 99, 00, 01 ... but havent been since because they moved to a crappy venue in my area

yeah, they played either last year of the year before. See them in a club though, it's much better. i've seen them 3 or 4 times, clubs are better!

try to pick up stuff from their older albums... i think it's better, sounds less produced, his voice sounds better.... etc.

ANY song by zeke

Although Twisted, Mountain man, Runnin shine, and Galaxie 500 are recomended.. they're a little tamer.

ANYTHING BY GLASSJAW!!!!!

They're a great band... you really should check them out. They have some harder stuff, some lighter, and some in between...

HARDER:
Siberian Kiss
Hurting and Shoving
Babe
Lovebites and Razorlines
Pretty Lush
Tip Your Bartender
Pink Roses
Stuck Pig
Motel of the White Locust

IN BETWEEN:
Two Tabs of Mescaline
Cavalcade
Mu Empire
Radio Cambodia
When One Eight Becomes Two Zeroes
Piano
Cosmopolitan Bloodloss
Ry Ry's Song

LIGHTER:
Ape Dos Mil
Must've Run All Day
Convectuoso
Her Middle Name Was Boom
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence
Trailer Park Jesus
Majour

Zeke - I believe in Miracles
Wasnt what I expected given the song title, the vocals are kindof wavy, but the rest is good...it sounds like the song is about it being a miracle he is still alive after all the drugs he did (or does, not sure about that part)

Zeke - Evil Dead
It is all out Punk, but its the kind where I have no idea what he is saying w/o reading lyrics along with the song..so it is a lot different thean the last song, at least all the songs dont sound the same...

Glassjaw - Siberan Kiss
You are right, this song is heavy. Reminds me of sevendust a bit, and early early incubus a lot.

Glassjaw - Monster Zero
The version I download is really really bad quality, even though its is 128k...might be live but w/o a crowd, cant tell..but it sounds like shit.

Glassjaw - Cosmopolitan Blood Loss
Of the 3 songs Ive heard so far this is the best one, the double hit on the drums and giutar that gets repeated 3 times (a lot later) in a row is pretty cool

Glassjaw - Radio Cambodia
This doesnt sound like any of the other songs. The singer doesnt sound lazy either, I hate it when someone is singing and it sounds like they dont even care what they are saying or that someone might listen to it.

Glassjaw - Babe
I dont like this song at all, probably the worst one ive heard

Glassjaw - Ape Dos Mil
Slower, kindof trippy. I dont undertand the title,

Glassjaw - Hurting and Shoving
Sounds like Babe, only a little slower

Glad you liked some of it... not all the songs are everybody's thing. I have a few more...

that should keep you busy... I like how you review the music, it gives us an idea of what you like. Keep on doing that.

I'm glad you like the reviews. I think i am going to start putting more into them. It's difficult trying to explain the music and what I think about it with words, but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Eitherway, that last patch is going to take a little longer.

Lost Prophets - Shinobi Vs. Dragon Ninja
The opening was amazing. The vocals are clear, the guitar is good. The guitar almost sounds like a fast tool song. I liked this song, but I do not understand the title.

Lost Prophets - A Thousand Apologies
I liked the point where it quickly slowed down and faded away, I dont think I've ever heard anything like that in a song before. I think it would be better with a bit more silence after the fade, but they did pick it right back up good. There is a weird sound that is like a beep that goes from a high to a lower pitch, it could use more of that.

Lost Prophets - Five is a four letter word
The way this starts off really reminds me of old incubus (their science CD). It has a good beat.

The Apex Theory - 4 Ra's
Heavy, a lot of deep sounds. I think I hear like a kongo drum or something softly in the back ground. Well, I dont know much about instruments, so Ill just stick with non-tradional drum instead of kongo. They have a very interesting sound when it is just a part w/o the vocals.

The Apex Theory - Aisle Always
I really like this band. The reason is to do with something I would call an original unique sound. The guitar is just out there, really different.

The Apex Theory - Apossibly
Again, the guitar, and a ringing sound this tmie. It sounds like they are building up to somthing. Yep, they were, a nice quite moment right before it hit as well. I wish I knew more about music so I could try and explain what the guitar part sound likes.

The Apex Theory - Bullshed
This start of this song sounds like osmething you would hear in a sic fi movie right when they had a wide shot of some huge amazing area. That is as creative as I get, so take it as you will. But If I was mkaing a movie I would use this song. I really do like it better than the last 2, but so far Apex Theory is one of the best bands I have heard today that I did not know about yesterday.

The Apex Theory - Swing This
This song belongs as the background music for a mental hospital. I really like the creative sound that they have been making in all of their songs.

AFI - The Boy Who Destroyed The World
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. Took me a while, but I'm pretty sure thats where I first heard this. If not, then I have heard it somewhere else, and I have heard it a lot. Im not to sure, but it is good and nice to have.

AFI - God Called In Sick Today
Slower than the last song. picking up, maybe building to something. It gets louder, and better.

AFI - Days of the Phoenix
This I have heard before. Either a video game or a compilation CD. This is an excellent song.

I thought I was oging to try and put more into my reviews, but I just dont know enough about music to. Right now I regret never taking a music appreciation course in college. So make sure you do if you get the chance. I'm going to submit this now and contine with the rest of your suggestions.

NOFX - The Decline
18 minutes and 21 seconds. Starts off fast with a good sound. I dont see how they can keep this up for 18 minutes. It almost sounds like the song switches at 3 minutes. Maybe I have an entire CD instead of a single song. But the guitar in this one is amazing. New song? 3:41 Slower, I knew they couldn't keep it fast...nevermind I shoudl eat my words. They are doing something with the channels in this part. Making sound faraway (maybe my setup) then in full stero, like a QA session or something. a trumpt and a bell kicked in at around 6:30, nice. Damn, at 13:20 this becomes amazing. It sounds like a march at the end.

Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
I really like these songs that build up to something, and this one has a lot of orignial noises in it. LIke wailings or something, either way it belnds perfectly with the guitar and dum when their respective beats kick in. The voice is a little weird, it almost matches up exactly with the beat. Eittherway, this song isnt bad, and im going to sleep for now. Ill get the rest tommorow.

Thanks for all your help

If you like Kotton Mouth Kings, then you may like Corporate Avenger.

After the break-up of the Humble Gods, Brad X would go on to become one of the founding members of the group Kottonmouth Kings under the name Daddy X. Spike went on to begin work on creating the group Corporate Avenger, and would go under the name of the Corporate Avenger.

turbonegro, very rock.

Dead Kennedy's - California Uber Alles
Nice intro. Suonds like the song is about a power trip. This song is alright.

Minor Threat - Straight edge
46 seconds, It's hard to hear what he is saying, except "ive got straight edge"

Minor Threat - Filler
This is better than straight edge. But I still dont lilke it very much.

Snapcase - coagulate
Kindof reminds me of New Noise. I cant make out what he is saying. The guitar and drums are done well.

Snapcase - new Kata
So far a lot different than the last song. I like this one better than the last one, but its not close to Apex Theory.

Snapcase - First Word
Faster, heavier. No build up like the first song. But I dont like it very much, yet. Its getting better. I think IM going to keep snapcase around for a while and see if it grows on me, because I am not turned off by it.

The Used - A Box Full of Sharp Objects
Its got a part around 50 seconds with some guy screaming into the mike. I dont like that part. It would be different if I could understand what he was saying.

The Used - Choke Me
Not playing for some reason. I dont get it.

The Used - Maybe Memories
Its got like a siren sound at the start. But I dont like this band that much.

Blindside -
They remind me of New Noise. I still dont like the yelling into the mike in the way where I cant understand what they are saying.

Im gong to get to studying now, Ive added everything to my playlist, so I might tell you what I think when it comes up. If not I will get to everything by later tonight.

Just got one:

Spacehog - In the meantime.

Its a solid rock tune from the 90's. Check it out.

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Another Morning Stoner
The Hives - Die, All Right!
The Hives - Automatic Schmuck

BTW, you said you didn't get the song titles for two songs... I can explain them

Glassjaw - Ape Dos Mil
This title is talking about how uncivilized, and how unfair and cruel human culture is becoming. It's basically saying that we're all becoming Apes. Dos Mil is Spanish for 2000, pertaining to the year. It's basically saying that, even though it's a new millenium, we can still all be apes.

Lostprophets - Shinobi Vs. Dragon Ninja
The band says that the energy of this song reminds them of their childhood, and one of their favorite activities when they were kids was going to the arcade; Shinobi and Dragon Ninja were their two favorite games.

Smile Empty Soul - Bottom of a Bottle
Kind of depressing, then it gets different. Why I carry on? I do it for the drugs. Not what I expected. Its a weird message, like the only reason he is staying alive is to take drugs and for the love at the bottom of a bottle. Its put together well though, if I wasn't paying attention I probably wouldn't have picked up the message.

Nerf Herder - Van Halen
This is pretty funny. It sounds like a ode to Van Halen songs. Making lyrics out of the titles, and then original lyrics about Van Halen.

Corporate Avenger - Evolved
Weird intro, echo effect and it is moving through the channels. Not what I was expecting at all. It honestly doesn't even sound anything like KMK. Its got a real techno feel to it. I dislike this song.


AFI - Ever and a Day
Slower then what I was expecting. Not a slow sog though, well kindof. This song is ok, im my opinion, which doesnt say much.

AFI - Girls Not Grey
Better, so far. I think Ive heard this before. It's pretty good.

AFI - Bleed BLack
Having some problems aquiring this one.

AFI - Silver and Cold
Piano. Awsome. I really really like songs that add something more than drum/guitar/base/vocals. Ok, it sounds like the piano was just there for the intro. My hopes are up, if the piano doesnt come back I might get diapointed. The song isnt bad though, it is actually pretty good. I hope the piano comes back. I am disapointed.

Antiflag - What about Punk Rock
Sounds like a lot of other punk songs. Gets kindof funny at the end. Like he is sarcastically making fun of people.

Antiflag - Die for your Government
I like the "then shit" they added to the chorus. Without it I would probably hate this song. But it still sounds like most punk. The guitar sounds like it is extremely easy to play. The part with just vocals and drums is probably the best part.

Antiflag - 911 for Peace
The best song ive heard yet from them. This is a pretty good song, fast, chorus isn't bad. About not wanting to die because of 9/11 I believe.

Evanescence: Bring me to Life
I think I might have heard this on the radio. It is a pretty good song. I have no idea what it is about. But there is a PIANO. and female vocals. 2 things that set it apart from the rest. Sounds like linkin park put a hand into this.

No Use for a Name- Dumb Reminders
Punk. Sounds a bit different from the rest. Sounds like a song about this guy desperate for a girl, but he keeps screwing up because he is stupid. I might be wrong, but he sounds pretty pathetic. OK, I might be completely wrong. I think it is about a long distance relationship and the dumb reminders are that it is a long distance relationship.

No Use for a Name - Coming too Close
Better than the last song. Sounds like he is sick of being used by a girl. Its alright.

Rancid: Anything from Let's Go and Out Come the Wolves CDs
I got and really like Ruby SoHo and Time Bomb, I think they are from the Let's Go CD.

Rancid - Salvation
Also a good song. I have been really impressed by the rancid suggestion I have gotten today. I think I am gonig to buy these two albmus for my trip out to NJ next week.

Rufio - Above me
Weird. Fast. A uniqe sound. The way the guitar isnt just power chords. It is another punk song about being desperate for a girl though, I think.

Rufio - In my eyes
Slower. And again it is about some girl. And probably how desperate he is for her. If your into that stuff then Rufio is probably for you.


Here is my To Do list:
Thrice: Anything
Thursday: Anything
The Vandals: Anything

Allister: Dead Ends and Girlfriends CD
Brand New: Anything
Dynamite Boy: Anything
Flogging Molly: Anything
Goldfinger: Anything
Lucky Boys Confusion: Anything
Riddlin Kids: Anything

Id really like some suggestions that are more than just guitar/base/drums/vocals. I really enjoy songs that have additional instruments. LIke pianos, bag pipes, trumpets, and so on. Stuff that sounds like nothing else. Thanks for all the help and giving me something to do in my freetime though, but it is time for me to sleep.

Bagpipes?

Dropkick Murphys - Amazing Grace

Trumpets?

Just about anything by Five Iron Frenzy, especially off the album Upbeats and Beatdowns, also stuff by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Piano?

The White Stripes - I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart


Those are just examples of your suggestions at the end... I still stick to my call for all the others I stated in my last post.

the closest i can offer to punk is Shonen Knife - "The Concrete Animals" album..

Some punk:

Lower Class Brats- "Psycho" "Molotov" and "Zipper Kids"
The Boils - "Assasins" "It wont Stop" "Police Me"
Rancid "Hyena""Roots Radicals" and "Dead Bodies"
Operation Ivy(Best band EVER) - "Sound System" "Missionary" "Knowledge" and "Freeze Up"
Agent Orange - "Blood Stains" and "America"

Some Ska
Madness - "Bed and Breakfast Man" "One Step Beyond" and "Baggy Trousers"
The Specials - "Rudy" "Too Much, Too Young" "Too Hot" and "Gangsters"
Sublime - "Scarlet Begonias" "Live at E's" "KRS-One" "D.j.s" and "Don't Push"

Try some Japanese punk, it's smaller and more efficent than American punk. Look for Thee Michelle Gun Elephant or Guitar Wolf, Shonen Knife is a little sugary, but they do a fun cover of I Wanna be Sedated. Or go really old school and find some New York Dolls, look for Vietnamese Baby, one of my favorites.

Damn... glad this got updated...

Are you gonna post any more reviews? I was enjoying those.
