Gonna start teaching myself how to play this. Aiming for a new genre, experimental 6-string banjo music.

I dig those things man, tunes and plays just like a guitar right?
If it does, whyen hail I kien play sum'm hot-damn deliverance muzak Oohn et for yall ta her if yawl'd like!

Seriously tho, your gonna want some really light guage guitar strings on that thing, unless it takes actuall banjo strings, which may actually sound more authentic..Does it sound like a banjo or a guitar?


But I digress now that I see that Greatful Dead's "friend of the devil" is playing in my head and I shall beckon the call with my dread-not.
 
cool song of the moment by a band who i'm really digging, the black angels

NSFW:

man i'm love this mid-mid life crisis with my taste in music



some other shit i've been getting into
ack white(this is really good for pop music...i should probably check out the white stripes?),hum, my bloody valentine, the brian jonestown masacre, the dandy warhols, silversun pick ups, deftones, the black ryder, dead ghosts, nine inch nails, black rebel motorcycle club, porno or pyros and the behaus.............along with post-rock like mogwai and various 'shoegaze' groups

but gish, siamese dream and Pisces iscariot get about 50% of my listening lately, billy corgan plays a bad ass nitrous themed guitar


i actually am curious in a certain feel of your tastes

bill, laika, chicken, axl and definitely BARDO?
bardo sort of introduced some pumpkins years ago on TC and remember really liking it...wonder what the song was
give me some recommendations based on what you know about what i like, duh
two guitars is almost always better than one...

i'm a music lover who hated everything besides a few bands, but it's totally worth it
being 28 years old and just getting into bands like NiN, pumpkins, deftones, jack white and my bloody valentine is one hell of a pill to finally dissolve under my tongue

damn i've lost my awesome typing, i've kind of quit social internetting except for the basics, it's pretty cool, healthy and i think eventually a trend

what brought this on?

i don't know black angels much, except for their track from the True Detective soundtrack

NSFW:


which is super slow sexy brutal. are they worth checking out?

siamese dream is one of my favorite albums. which is kind of sad because i hardly ever listen to the pumpkins anymore. sometimes, when i'm feeling nostalgic. mayonaise just kills me. what NIN are you listening to? i think what Reznor is doing with Atticus Ross and soundscapes is way super cool, and all three of their albums together are in my "most played albums" list. i used to love that one deftones song with maynard james keenan that everyone loved 20 years ago.

i don't listen to most shoe gaze aside from a place to bury strangers, but they tight.
 
I don't man, I'm all over the place. I'm an old bastard now so I listen to a lot of mellow alt-country type stuff.

Definitely check out modest mouse and built to spill. You'll really like built to spill.

You might even like the drive by truckers. Check out decoration day and southern rock opera for some badass rock n roll. They've kinda gone soft lately, but those two albums rip.

Lucero is another one if you like what you hear from the truckers.

You might need a healthy dose of dinosaur jr as well.

Alice N Chains?

This is all very exciting news.
 
agreed pavement are a good band, but then so are mudhoney, captain america; they're all good pre-nirvana.
i'm still not sure what this thread is about. non-equilibrium molecular dynamics?
Kidding.
just a shout out for a good movie that's on a par with trainspotting, called the football factory. gotta love the uk eh, aye, allright?
it's actually well worth a ganders.

i finally listened to Jagged Little Pill all the way through, and I was like who is thaaaaaaaaat! blows my mind that this girl was 19 releasing that album - do you think of me while you fuck her? when i scratch my nails down someone else's back i hope you feel it. that is some crazy ass pussy, fucking incredible. i'm even into her bizarre keening, feline voice. it's like when you're driving and your knee hurts thru your knee brace and you finally understand nirvana? trying to study hungover in a bright yuppie as shit building finally makes you take a chance on the "intro to alanis morrissette" playlist on your recommended apple music.
 
New Yeasayer album just leaked today..If any one out there is into them, can be found on blogs or soulseek.
 
Fuckin Merle Haggard is dead. On his birthday. God dammit. This is about a million times more gut wrenching than Bowie passing. When Willie goes, I'm driving to Texas and eating a shot gun shell. I don't want to live in a world without my honkytonk heroes
 
All of our huge larger than life incomparable musical heroes dying off. Feels like we have lost so ma,ny in a year or two. Most of these guys have been part of the soundtrack of my life since childhood or at least when I was pretty young some even when my parents were pretty young. Larger than life, these guys. It makes me wonder about musicians of our generation ... is there anyone who can approach these guys in terms of being iconic and larger than life? Or is the more atomised and transient nature of fame in our postmodern social media world mean that it can't be achieved anymore? Who, if any, among contemporary artists, when the inevitable happens, will make us ... and our children or grandchildren (!) ... feel like this 20, 30, 40 or more years on? Sort of morbid but it seems like an interesting question to me ... and I can't think of hardly any off the top of my head!
 
I tend to agree.
The media is so fragmented that there are no huge musical icons like 30+ years ago.
And i dont mean for that to sound like a reflection (or lack thereof) of any current artists' talents - but thre media landscape has changed so dramatically (no monolithic recording companies or radio/television broadcasts that reach the sort of audience that was enjoyed in the 20th century)
Having said that....things change, and that isnt always a bad thing.
