MOTHER MOTHER - Touch Up

Quote
Mother Mother sounds like a Canadian Danielson jamming with acoustic Mr. Bungle on a pontoon boat cruising down the Mississippi with an overflowing cooler of Icehouse. Our favorite track, “Oh Ana,” is a cooing reassurance song about an angel named Ana who cannot be killed. We’ve known a few of those.

This is honest, quality and achingly unique music you should check out.



This album is awesome, I challenge you to listen to "Dirty Town" and not feel chipper! =)

These are three of my favorite techno/chill albums ever. I'm not a big Oakenfold fan, but he can sure put together an awesome compilation album. I couldn't find a review for Vol. 1, but it's just as good as the others. If you need a starting point with these three, just pick one. I'm partial to the first two, but then my best friend bought them during the best vacation of my life and they made it even better and now its what I think of every time I hear it, so I'm biased. 

Perfecto Chills Vol. 1

Perfecto Chills Vol. 2



from allmusic
Quote
Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto label benefits from a healthy checkbook that can license pretty much anything it wants. That helps put the star power in the track listing, but what really benefits the listener is Perfecto's impeccable taste when it comes to more mainstream chill. There's no filler on Perfecto Chills, Vol. 2, an unmixed collection of downbeat and downtempo with a penchant for the cinematic and the slick. There's no ambient about it; these are big, elaborate numbers for the most part, but they're gentle and often heavenly. Robert Smith's voice is the most dissonant noise on the collection, but on the opening "Perfect Blue Sky" Junkie XL's surrounded him with a spacy and soft beat to even things out. Oakenfold's "Nixon's Spirit," with narration from Hunter S. Thompson, finds a better home on this collection than it had on Oakie's moderate Bunkka, but it's the vivid remix of Nelly Furtado's "Try" that steals the show on disc one. The Egg's soulful "Say You Will" is nearly as good and just one of the harder to find tracks that the collection rounds up. Containing more than a few of the usual chill suspects (Lamb, Zero 7, Gotan Project), disc two is less inspired but there's pillow after pillow of sweet and delicious bliss, and you can't argue with that.

Perfecto Chills Vol. 3



from allmusic
Quote
As many second-rate electronica labels have demonstrated in the recent past, if you're not careful a chillout compilation can be seen as an invitation to lazy programming. Pad a mediocre downtempo dance track with two minutes of ambient noodling on each end and call it a "remix," then string ten of those suckers together and whammo! You've got yourself a chillout compilation. But one thing you can count on is that the folks at Perfecto aren't going to take that low-resistance path; these guys have been putting out top-notch dance music since 1989, and seem determined to maintain a high standard. Hence the consistently high quality of this, the third installment in the Perfecto Chills series, which offers 22 tracks that never dip below good and generally rise easily to the level of excellence. On the good end of the spectrum fall such pleasant but not really groundbreaking material as Goldfrapp's pretty but ultimately insubstantial "All Night Operator" and a Genuine Childs/DJ RU collaboration titled "Deeper Shades of RU," which features some fine funky moments but ends up sounding like less than the sum of its parts. The album's most bizarre entry is Nouvelle Vague's laconic samba treatment of Joy Division's proto-goth classic "Love Will Tear Us Apart"; it's a fun idea, but doesn't really work. Representing the much more densely populated "excellent" end of the spectrum are the silly but gorgeous "Pushy" by the perennially brilliant Lemon Jelly, Paul Van Dyk's trip-hoppy gem "Nothing But You [Tomekk Mix]," and, best of all, a spectacularly beautiful contribution from Imogen Heap titled "Just for Now." Overall, this album is a must-have for those in need of good music for the chillout room.

North of America - Brothers, Sisters

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?kjjktsnmdkd
Some good ol' Canadian post-punk. Here is what Allmusic has to say about them:
Quote from: Allmusic
On Brothers Sisters, Halifax, Nova Scotia's North of America combine jangly guitars and off-kilter rhythms to create a danceable post-punk sound that is equal parts Pretty Girls Make Graves and Q and Not U. The melodic, shout-along anthem "Let's Get Sick To Our Stomachs" puts the group in league with the otherwise incomparable Pretty Girls, and proves that even though North of America might get less attention from the indie rock world -- this is their fourth full-length, after all -- they can outplay higher profile acts like Dischord's Black Eyes. Though the band recorded Brothers Sisters themselves, there's an Albini/Shellac sound to the mathematically structured songs, and tracks like "All Actors Are Liars" graft their Chicago angularity to a beautiful indie melodicism that simultaneously recalls the likes of Superchunk and Polvo.

The Holy Shroud - Ghost Repeaters

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?mdysowzbxgu
After North of America broke up, singer/guitarists Mike and Jim started a new band called the Holy Shroud. They got a new rhythm section featuing Mr Mike Bigelow Mr Loel Campbell. You might know them better as the rhythem section for the bands Wintersleep and Holy Fuck!

Quick Question -

What are some other ways to open a .rar file beyond winzip?

I deleted the evaluation version of winzip that was on my comp as the trial ran out and now that I'm trying to download a new evaluation version it won't work. I'm confused.

Any advice? (This isn't technically a request for music so I'm hoping its not a problem)

Use WinRar. I think someone posted the complete version somewhere within the last few pages so you don't have to download the trial version.

From NPR, "Exit/Exit is the musical project of multi-instrumentalist Brad Bocook. Based in Youngstown, OH, Exit/Exit makes cinematic songs with quirky, world-flavored instrumentation inspired by old French pop and folk music."

Here's something new and different:

The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of The Understatement



Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?m4cjpxl1aeg
Not my upload, but I'm too lazy to re upload. If it goes down I'll fix it. They are the lead singers from The Arctic Monkeys and the Rascals backed by the London Metropolitan Orchestra. Here's what allmusic had to say...

from allmusic
Quote
It's not that often that side projects are more ambitious than the players' main bands, but the Last Shadow Puppets, the collaboration between the Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and the Rascals' Miles Kane, is one of those rare birds. With their day jobs, Turner and Kane are revivalists of different strains of "angry young British man" rock, but with the help of drummer/producer James Ford (also of Simian Mobile Disco), arranger Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy), and the London Metropolitan Orchestra, on The Age of the Understatement they revitalize the lush, symphonic pop of early Scott Walker and David Bowie, when they needed an orchestra to express just how sweeping their feelings were. The title track's galloping strings-and-timpani drama begins the album, making it readily apparent just how ironic The Age of the Understatement's name is, and just how well the Last Shadow Puppets have recaptured that lavish late-'60s/early-'70s sound. The main update to it comes from Turner and Kane's voices; stark and suave like Walker and Bowie they are not, but that's a good thing -- their boyish, unpretentious voices and brotherly harmonies keep the album from dipping into kitsch. Instead, a surprising urgency runs through The Age of the Understatement, most noticeably on the taut "Calm Like You" and "Separate and Ever Deadly," but also on softer moments like "The Meeting Place" and the extremely Walker-esque "My Mistakes Were Made for You." Whenever the drama threatens to become too monotonous, the band knows when to change things up: "I Don't Like You Anymore" brings in more of the Arctic Monkeys' spit and spite, building up to a livid guitar solo that practically shakes with loathing, while "Standing Next to Me" and "Time Has Come" rein in the bombast. Despite all the intensity, the Last Shadow Puppets have a light touch -- their songs are short and don't overstay their welcome, and the whole affair is just arty and indulgent enough to make it special. It's not an overstatement to say that The Age of the Understatement is a likable, accomplished working holiday.

continuing my streak of horribly named bands (good band, this is the link i downloaded it from)

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head - Glistening Pleasure

This Seattle synth-pop/dance outfit makes good on finding a balance between the ridiculously stupid and the restraint on its debut effort. Instead of hitting us up with a joke book's worth of one-liners and punch lines, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head takes a more subtle route: dry, sophisticated wit. Or wit that's as dry and sophisticated as it can be when singing about peeping on someone in their pajamas ("Bedroom Costume"), snipping at Left Coast hipsters ("L.A. Noir") and providing the young generation of beard-wearers a much-needed lesson in facial-hair hygiene ("Beard Lust"). A sarcastic streak does a band little good if it doesn't have the goods under the hood, and NPSH comes at its sophomore release with a playful blend of synth-pop, funk, bubblegum and irony. It's not the "let's idly pretend we like this" kind of irony either. It's the massively obvious, "I'm wearing a girl's ski jacket from 1986" type of irony. It all somehow fits together on Glistening Pleasure. "Me + Yr Daughter" bangs distorted new wave dance beats, pipes in some crystal-clear synths and lets the groove take over. "Staying Cool," with its falsetto vocals, might be what CSS could sound like if it worshipped Duran Duran and geek humor as much at it worships itself, and "Side Ponytail," crashes The B-52s' boy/girl face-off vocals into a humongous, candy-coated effigy of bad '80s dance music.

So Anyway, Hi. Some of you may know me from other forums. I don't really hang around here much. I was just thinking, it would be nice to share some of the music I'm liking right now.

Not sure if it will be appreciated, I hope it is! Please tell me if it is!

I uploaded this album i just got, by an Australian band. They're called 'acid jazz' - I'm not sure what that means, but I saw them perform at a Jazz festival. The stuff they played their was more upbeat than this album, but then, it is from 1998.

Anyway, here is:

OK guys I have been experiencing a miniature Queens of the Stone Age revival.  They were my favorite band for a very long time and I made it a point to track down as much of their lesser-known material as possible.  So without further ado, here is a nearly complete discography.  The number of songs this band has recorded that are not here can probably be counted on two hands (I know I'm missing the second version of "Infinity," the cover of "Don't Talk to Me" by GG Allin, the cover of "Jealous Again" by Black Flag, the Spanish version of "Gonna Leave You," and a few remixes found on single discs.  I also have only one of the versions of "The Fun Machine Took a Shit and Died.")  Considering the fact that they have recorded upwards of 100 songs, I'm not missing any original tracks, and I collected most of it literally one song at a time (this was when I didn't have soulseek or blogs or anything, just WinMX and Limewire ... ugh) I'd consider this to be pretty good.

I hesitate to call this band the best of the last 10 years, but only just.  They're definitely the best band of the last 10 years to get the level of media exposure they got.  I know this might be a daunting amount of music to get from a single band, but once you've absorbed the first few uploads here, you'll be all over the rest.  This band has one of the best and most varied outputs in recent memory, and exploring it is extremely rewarding

In chronological order of release:

QOTSA/Kyuss Split



The 6 tracks on this CD might have more a highly concentrated level of awesome than any other single-disc tracklist in the history of rock music.  It kicks off with Kyuss's absolutely flawless cover of Sabbath's "Into the Void," which is the only time I've ever heard a band totally beat Sabbath at their own game with one of their best songs (my pick for greatest cover of all time, by the way).  "Fatso Forgetso" might be the best song Kyuss ever recorded, and "Flip the Phase" rounds out the Kyuss side perfectly with a pummeling monotonous groove of pure heavy.  QOTSA's songs are hands down 3 of their best ... "If Only Everything" is simply a perfectly written song with a perfectly written riff, "Born to Hula" is a towering heavy space rock masterpiece, and the mysterious, swirling cascade of psychedelia that is "Spiders and Vinegaroons" abruptly resolves itself into a hammering 10-ton drum-driven behemoth that leaves you in awe.

If you only get one thing from this post, make it this one.  It is entirely without weakness.

QOTSA - Queens of the Stone Age



The self-titled debut is considered by many to be QOTSA's finest hour, and while there are many great things to be said for their later work, the gritty, unrefined purity of this album is kinda hard to fuck with.  Josh Homme didn't even bother with recruiting Nick Oliveri for bass duty on this album, he just sat Alfredo Hernandez behind a drum kit and took care of the rest himself.  It's perfect in its own way, and contains some of the greatest songs QOTSA ever wrote ("Regular John," "Mexicola," "You Would Know," "You Can't Quit Me Baby," etc.)

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?1jc30znjmyg
QOTSA/Beaver Split CD



This little nugget came out around the same time as the self-titled album.  Beaver lays down some sweet Dutch stoner rock with their two tracks (you can really see why Kyuss used to tour around wearing shirts bearing their name), and QOTSA's pair of songs are some of the most robot-like of their career.  "These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For" just doesn't sound human.  QOTSA has a habit of putting their best songs on non-LP releases, and this is no exception.

QOTSA - Rated R



In a lot of ways this is the least consistent of QOTSA's albums.  It's got the rawest Nick Oliveri influence of all the QOTSA albums (see "Tension Head" and "Quick and to the Pointless"), one of the weirdest and least accessible robot-rock freakouts of all time ("I think I Lost My Headache"), the most psychedelic song they ever recorded ("Better Living Through Chemistry"), and some of Mark Lanegan's most beautiful work ("In the Fade"), as well as more straightforward Homme songs like "Leg of Lamb" and "The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret," and just about every song is essential to the overall feel of the album.  It's a really weird mix and it's beautiful, especially if you can get past the harsher parts where Nick is screaming about pedophilia.

(Note: "In the Fade" has the "Feel Good Hit of the Summer Reprise" section cut off, sorry guys.)

QOTSA - Feel Good Hit of the Summer single tracks

This is just 3 songs that were only released on the "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" single, "You're So Vague" and two covers ("Romeo Void's "Never Say Never" and The Kinks' "Who'll Be the Next in Line").  Continuing the trend of putting the best stuff on the little rarity discs, these are excellent.  The Romeo Void cover in particular is awesome.

QOTSA - Lost Art of Keeping a Secret single tracks

3 more from a single disc ... this one has "Born to Hula 2000," the even-heavier redux of "Born to Hula" off the Kyuss split (THIS SONG IS SO GOOD OH MY GOD).  It's also got a vicious Nick Oliveri vehicle in "Ode to Clarissa," a hilariously nasty punk song "about a girl named Michelle," and I've thrown in a live version of ZZ Top's "Precious and Grace" in lieu of the "Monsters on the Parasol" live recording that was on the real disc.  Mark Lanegan tears shit up on that last track, by the way, it's boss.

QOTSA - Songs for the Deaf



This is the one that put QOTSA on the map, not least because Dave Grohl signed on for drums.  He pummels the shit out of the kit, too ... "Song for the Dead" and "First it Giveth" have some of the best drumming you're likely to listen to.  This album is packed with gems ... "Sky is Fallin'" and "Song for the Deaf" provide huge heavy slow-burning dirges, "Hangin' Tree" gives Lanegan some more time to shine, and of course "No One Knows" is one of the best rock songs written this century.  There are very few weak points in this album and even those are debatable.  Josh and Nick were at the peak of their partnership here and it shows.

Note: contains covers of "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy" by the Kinks and "Bloody Hammer" by Roky Erickson, which were on the non-US releases.

QOTSA - Lullabies to Paralyze



The first album without Nick was a bit less than many fans wanted, but it still has some of the better songs in the QOTSA repertoire.  "Tangled up in Plaid" and "Burn the Witch" are damn near perfect, and the supersleazy "You've Got a Killer Scene There, Man" might be the sexiest song QOTSA recorded (which is saying a lot).  All in all, not QOTSA's best but still respectable (and, considering QOTSA's popularity at this point in their career, better than most of what else was out there at the time).

Code: [Select]

QOTSA - Era Vulgaris



The latest album is the masterpiece that "Lullabies to Paralyze" wasn't, quite.  The latter had its good points and its failings.  This one takes everything good about "Lullabies to Paralyze" and expands on it.  Josh Homme has always been able to write magnificently good rock songs, and if he needed to prove it anymore, this would do it.  If this is the new QOTSA sound, I'm all for it.  Magnificent stuff.

QOTSA - The Era Vulgaris Pocketbook Companion

They don't let up!  In between the "White Wedding" cover, "The Fun Machine took a Shit and Died," acoustic recordings of "3's and 7's," "Into the Hollow," and "Suture Up Your Future," and the ABSOLUTELY AWESOME "Goin' Out West," there's basically another whole album here and it's just as good as Era Vulgaris.  It even includes the song "Era Vulgaris," which wasn't even on the album named after it!  Great stuff.

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?ja1kgv0bdyr
QOTSA - miscellaneous awesome stuff

Included: "18 AD" from the ancient, rare "Burn One Up" stoner rock compilation, "Infinity" from the Heavy Metal 2000 soundtrack (and my pick for the best song they ever recorded), a cover of Turbonegro's "Back to Dungaree High" from a tribute comp, an original Gamma Ray demo of "Give the Mule What He Wants" (before QOTSA were even named QOTSA), the "Make it Witchu" single, and covers of The Cramps' "Most Exalted Potentate of Love" and the Subhumans' "Wake Up Screaming," from the "First it Giveth" single disc.  AWESOME.

(GUYS!  Get this one!  "Infinity" is in it!  So is "18 AD!"  I'm serious!  It's fucking amazing!)

I'm only uping this because I managed to turn it on with some people and realize they had no idea who they where listening to. So sorry if this is a "should be owned" sort of album, it is so this is for everyone who does not have it.

It's been here before (not complaining) and I downloaded it then. Now I own it. Bought it. Its that good!! Get, you people, NOW!

Thanks for all the QOTST!  There were a couple albums there that I'd been meaning to get ahold of for a while.  I forgot how awesome that "Leg of Lamb" song is.  =)

Oh and thanks to the person who posted the Natalie Portman's Saved Head....very awesome.

Here is the latest Weezer album.  Most people seem to enjoy it...it has some gems but IMO it's not anything to cream ur pants over, but I guess they can't all be winners. Heh.

EDIT vol I up now...
OK guys I have been experiencing a miniature Queens of the Stone Age revival.  They were my favorite band for a very long time and I made it a point to track down as much of their lesser-known material as possible.  So without further ado, here is a nearly complete discography.

What a great idea. There's even a bit of this, that I don't have.
Here's their B-Sides And Rarities, great f**king songs on that too:

How about three more Philosophers, explored in 90 minutes, this time we have

HEGEL

ALL IN WMA!  i am so bummed out.  i was really excited about these....


I just noticed this-I use mediamonkey the best media player I have ever come across which has a nifty file conversion tool built in to change track formating you can find it here (for free or small price for lifetime upgrade) if you like:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/
There are also tons of free audio conversion programs out there if you just want a quick dirty way to get these into another format
here is one:
 Any Audio Converter is designed for extracting audio from video and converting audio between popular formats, such as WMV, MP4, WAV, WMA, OGG, AAC, MP3, M4A, MP2, etc.

With Any Audio Converter, you can convert audio between MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC and OGG as well as video files including AVI, MPEG, MP4, WMV, ASF, etc to popular audio files, e.g. convert MP4 to MP3. The user-friendly interface of Any Audio Converter lets you add and convert any unprotected audios and videos to MP3, WMA, AAC and OGG easily. Most work can be done automatically with a few mouse clicks.

Another Album! I'm exploring Talib Kweli of late;

Talib Kweli "Focus" [2007]

This is apparently "a bootleg import CD containing rare and collaborative songs". It's really very good. Talib is possibly one of the best rappers out their right now. Lyrically and rthymically he makes hip hop worth listening to. Often called a 'conscious rapper' his music is often afrocentric and he's 'highly educated' (?)

>> A line from Jay-Z's 2003 record, The Black Album: "If skills sold, truth be told/I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli."

Soon to come: Black Star [best album ever], maybe A Beautiful struggle?

I'm uploading Black Star as we speak :)

Meanwhile here is some awesome music I've been listening to:

John Coltrane : "Blue Train" (1957)

Quote
John William Coltrane (September 23, 1926 in Hamlet, North Carolina — July 17, 1967 at Huntington Hospital in Long Island, NY) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Born in Hamlet, North Carolina, Coltrane grew up in High Point, North Carolina and moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in June 1943.

Blue Train is a jazz album by John Coltrane, released in 1957 It is considered by many to be Coltrane's first "true" solo album, as it is the first he recorded featuring musicians and songs entirely of his choosing. Featuring trumpeter Lee Morgan, bassist Paul Chambers, and trombonist Curtis Fuller, is widely considered his best album from this period. Four of its five tracks are original Coltrane compositions, and several of them, notably the title track, "Moment's Notice" and "Lazy Bird", have gone on to become standards.

Desert Sessions is Josh Hommes pet project. Its a way to try out ideas, take a lot of drugs and generally being really oldschool and at the same time extremely progressive about rock.
