I absolutely love the Adore album by The Smashing Pumpkins. It's my personal favorite.
(Yes, I like it even more than Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Blasphemy or not, it's true.)

And Cat Power? My god, love them. Have you heard their past releases? You Are Free is wonderful.

Me? I've been listening to "Phantom Limb" by The Shins constantly. Absolutely love it.

It's a bit sad, but I've almost stopped listening to music since my ears started ringing so badly.

[quattrokid73]

ShortcutToMoncton, first two are on my top 25!!!

others DO have the same taste in music as i.

Agreed on Catpower, though it's more of a 'she' then a 'them'. I wish i could marry Chan Marshall... *sigh*

Lion King OST - Just Can't Wait To Be King

Apple has gapped up 1.5% this morning and I'm starting to fell like a master of the universe while listening to Yoshida Brothers' songs Overland Blues and Kodo (its traditional Japanese instruments with a contemporary beat—very big in Japan).

Haha, Wikipedia has the best fact ever about them.

In the Japanese rendering of their stage name, the Japanese kanji characters for "Kyōdai" 兄弟 is read as "brothers", but separately the characters mean "older brother" 兄 (read as "ani") and "younger brother" 弟 (read as "otōto").

How random. That's like saying, "The first word of Smashing Pumpkins' name is read as 'smashing,' but it's actually made up of the word 'smash' and the dependent morpheme '-ing,' which makes the action progressive or turns it into a noun."

Think who you're talking to here.

Just say, "Those guys who did the music in the Wii commercials."

I should add, I don't find Disturbed's recent cover of Land of Confusion all that bad. I dig it when it comes on. (And I'm not much a metal/hard rock/whatever guy)

Silence, monkey! Can you not quietly appreciate the familial love of fellow NNers for each other without projecting?


Back on topic: For some reason, I've had UFO's "Heaven's Gate" running through my head for the last couple of hours.

[USB HUB]

I'm really old but I've never heard of any of these songs ...
