[La Creme]

I liked the book plenty. Man.

[sp2]

Niven and Pournelle both write dull prose.  Put them together and their prose is even duller.  Good plot, for sure.  But the prose sucks.

[La Creme]

Ok, but they wrote "Legacy of  Heorot" and in my opinion that's a kickass book all around.

Back to music, Take Two Aspirations And Call Me In The Morning is yet again, melancholycore, but The Antagonizers put a twist on it: Every song is a terribly deppressing song set over incredibly happy music.

Band: The Day The Pokemon Learned To Dance

[Merkava]

Adam Sandler's cult following band

FUCK YOU PIKACHU LOLZ!

Band: The Premium Chicken Sandwhiches

[Kai]

after a recent study discovered that eating Fried Chicken caused cancer and herpes at the same time, KFC and Popeyes go backrupt. Colonel Sanders and Popeye then team up to reclaim their fortunes by rocking out.


SONG: Joda Tu Yoda

[Merkava]

Yoda does Yoga WHILE PERFORMING YO LA TENGO COVERS!!!

Song: Pennywhisles and Moonpies

[heretic]

the band is the lovechild of deerhoof and Megadeth . they sing mostly about bubblegum subjects like, well, pennywhistles and moonpies, but in a really terrible Hair Metal style, having taken Megadeth's ironic appeal (what else do they have?) and Deerhoof's massive irony tunnel and smashed them together in a writhing ball of irony so dense, not even sarcasm can escape.

[La Creme]

Because the silly heretic man didn't post a band/song:

Band: The Best Possible Situation At The Worst Possible Time

[rawrXskittles]

An indiemo band from the town of Humptulip, this band thrives on ironic, snarky and extremely depressing lyrics and concepts. Their debut album, "Flowers Are Just Pretty Weeds", topped charts in the first week. It was released!

Song: "Do Not Walk Behind Me, For I May Not Lead; Do Not Walk In Front Of Me For I May Not Follow; Do Not Walk Beside Me, Just Leave Me The Hell Alone"

[heretic]

by Hades Heart; thrash-core, lots of trebely distortion and screaming, along with very dramatic spoken word verses about pain, anguish, and Greek mythology

Band: Foetal Impact

[kikanjuuneko]

A death metal band whose entire stage show consists of gigantic TV screens showing crash test foetuses and tossing fake foetuses made of candy into the audience.

Band: Sigmund Freud and the Repressions

[La Creme]

A Dust Brothers project that involves remixing noises made by lions and things said by those two marvelous lion taming... things. Also includes lots of re-dubbed horn lines and chainsaw noises, because that's just what the Dust Brothers do...

Band: Frank Furt And The Phenomenal Fornicating Phoenix

[sp2]

Cabaret-rock.  Basically, these guys watch waaaaaay too much Rocky Horror.  Half their songs are covers from the soundtrack, even.

Although, their cover of time warp was pretty damned half-decent.

Band: Stop, Yield, No Outlet

[Johnny C]

Spaz/math-rockers from southern Nevada. Their live show involves them performing behind a bunch of that police "CAUTION" tape, then driving a stolen Nevada Highway Patrol bike through it and out the venue doors at the end.

Song: "Clarence, We Hardly Knew Ye"

[Luke]

Heavy metal. The last word is "ye," because when performed, the word is "you" but the singer vomits in the middle of the word, diminishing it to "ye"


Band: We Can't Sing But You Have A Small Penis

[La Creme]

Phallic-core. What else?

Band: Phobos Diptrickle Bumrush

[FuneralCateringService]

"mathcore"

Band: Cornelius is Dead

[sp2]

80's electro-pop rock revival.  Like, we're talking about the BAD 80s pop rock.  The REALLY bad 80s pop rock you see on soundtracks to bad 80s movies where the girls wear spandex, snap bracelets, and have bad perms.

Song: Dead Hobo in a Bottle

[Johnny C]

The band, Three Boxcar Heartache, is emotional hobocore. Nothing more needs to be said.

Band: Word Herd

[sp2]

Word Herd is Beatpunk.  Instead of reciting beat poetry to jazz and/or drums, they recite it over spastic punk/post-punk riffs.  Comparisons to various post-punk or post-hardcore acts abounds, but the closest is probably Alan Ginsberg fronting Les Savy Fav.

Band: Male Hors d'Oeuvre Bride

[Decima]

Swedish comunistic pop-punk band. Two gitarrists, one drummer and one singer (who sounds JUST like the guy in Placebo). They use poetic metafroes to critisize capitalism. They are all under 21.

Depth of Drumms

[La Creme]

"Depth Of Drumms" is a song by a man called The Hamat'ka Swaami Ishama (he's white, but he sure as hell won't just admit it). It's, as you'd expect, just a bunch of hand drums and him chanting "HARI KRISHNA" and whatnot over it.

Fucking New-age religion.

Song: Our Land Is Crimson, Our Moon Shines Like Iron

[sp2]

The Slitwrists are known for their particular brand of emogressive rock.  They are a response to the claim that most prog rock isn't about anything but is instead soulless and mechanical.  The Slitwrists, with songs such as "our land is crimson, our moon shines like iron," "these shackles leave razorblade scars" and "postponed funeral" have gone to the other extreme, and have infused their progressive rock with the extreme angst that pours from their souls like the blood pours from their veins.  Unfortunately, they found that they really have no fanbase, as there isn't anyone who likes both tedious progressive rock and whiney emo.

Song: Styrofoam and cardboard

[Johnny C]

Unfortunately, they found that they really have no fanbase, as there isn't anyone who likes both tedious progressive rock and whiney emo.

SOMEONE hasn't seen Coheed & Cambria's sales figures.

"Styrofoam and Cardboard" is, of course, by freak-folk act Twine Diddlers. It's stream-of-consciousness poetry from the perspective of a landfill. The whole thing's about the decay of the modern city, set against a backdrop of dulcimer and gently strummed acoustic guitar.

Song: "Above, Below, Between"

[Oldschoolstylee]

Quartet from new york consisting of two girls on acoustic guitars, a blind guy on drums and a keyboard player.

Play extremely morose post-rock that they think is ironic but everyone else thinks revolves around cliches and name dropping.

Likely to fall apart after the third album "robots deep" due to solo careers. In marketing.

Band; Here you go
