Forced Listening Thread V: Planet of the Bikini Vampire Babes
Ishotdanieljohnston:
I've been hearing alot of hype about buck 65- which usually makes me sketical, but i actually really enjoyed this. Lyrically it had an old school hip-hop feel (I know virtually nothin bout the genrre so i could be wrong), reminded me a bit of GZA's style in Liquid Swords. the music itself was really interesting and orignal. Deffinitely good enough for me to check more of his stuff out. I'm giving it 7.6.
This is Kevin Drew- Backed out on the... He's the singer from broken Social scene and on this track he's got some guitar work from J. Mascis.

Damn, I can't believe I had to listen all the way through that Buck 65 when someone else had already posted.
Anyway, back onto the song. I like this song (i've had it for a while now), which means it must be good, as I don't really like any BSS and I just generally find that most Indie bands' attempts at rocking out just end in some really brutal, cringe inducing failure (there's plenty of samples throughout this album). However, this song does actually rock out, which is a nice surprise. One of the rare indie rock songs that actually rocks- it may just be the distorted drum action, though. I dig this a lot. 8/10.
And now for my upload, some strange cure vs shoegaze kind of deal. This is a rather obscure band from Sweden, formed from the ashes of the excellent funeral doom band Thergothon. Not funeral doom though, some rather nice, if slightly heavy shoegaze for y'all. This is "This Empty Flow" and the song is "Snowblind". Enjoy:

WELL SINCE NO ONE ELSE IS DOING THIS THREAD I GUESS I WILL
Damn, Caspian, that snowblind song is pretty good. Admittedly, the guys voice is kind of annoying but it's a pretty nice song, I love it when the huge guitars break out at the end. 8/10.
OK, now someone else had better freaking reply to this. This is Harvestman's 'Lashing the Rye', some excellent 'folk screwed around with in a studio heaps' kind of deal, really nice although a bit of a patience tester- definitely late night listening.

Scandanavian War Machine:
That's a pretty good song. It's incredibly boring but I think it would be perfect for driving, being stoned, or driving while stoned.
I'm loathe to give it an actual rating since I know I'll like it more or less depending on the situation and my mood etc. It's odd that it bores me when the intro track to Boris' Akuma No Uta doesn't bore me at all. I don't know.
Good song though.
okay, this is "Prayer of Death" by Entrance. Decide for yourself.

I rather like that. It reminds me of something I would have sang for choir in high school. His falsetto is also pretty impressive, and i do like the fact that his voice isn't totally perfect.
7.5/10
I give you... "Angular Perfection" by Modernstate
