Fun Stuff > BAND
talk about a band you wish more people have heard of here.
rynne:
I wish more people had heard of Jim Thirlwell (Foetus, Steriod Maximus, Maonrexia, et. al).
As a composer and arranger, the versatility and depth of his skill is near-unrivaled. Picking over his Foetus albums alone, one can find surf-rock ("Satan Place"), gospel ("Haus on Fah"), big-band swing ("Slung"), filthy blues ("Bedrock"), industrial ("Verklemmt"), cabaret ("Cirrhosis of the Heart"), symphonies ("Overture from Pigdom Come") among countless other genres. He doesn’t just ape genre conventions—he’s skilled enough to remake his own image convincingly in each.
And aside from his musical skills, he's got a gift with lyrics, spinning webs of inverted phrases, deft wordplay, and a pitch-black sense of humor. (Though the latter means that many folks will probably shy away from the tongue-in-cheek revelries of murder, sex, and hate.)
If you watch The Venture Brothers, you've heard his work—the show's creators were wise enough to enlist Jim's skills as a composer. Pay attention to the music if you're able to.

--- Quote from: Faker ---Can't go wrong with The Frames if you are Irish you probably have heard of them before if not, you MUST check them out. Their new album Burn the Maps was released recently on ANTI in the UK and in the states. also the album Set List, basically works as a live greatest hits album.

Burn The Maps eh? I think i'll check that out. I only know of two songs from them, Dream Awake and Revelate but i love both of them.
Trollstormur:
Cruachan. It's uh... irish folk heavy metal with a female vocalist. Really cool.

Dream Awake is on Burn the Maps, Revelate is on their album Fitzcarraldo, and there is an excellant live version of it on Set List
(no i am not working on comission for the band)

Hey! Listen to Bearsuit! On their site, they have an mp3 of "Itsuko Got Married", which is my favorite song off their new album.
