Parkamarka Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I listened the hell out of Beirut driving across the States last summer. Quite inappropriate in some ways, given that it's pseudo-Balkans gypsy folk... But actually not really since the guy behind the entire project, Zach Condon, is a kid from Alberquerque who made it in his bedroom (the music, I mean). At first it sounds distinctly European but the more you listen, the more influenced by US indie-rock it sounds. I still love this song after about a million listens, it's very simple and very great: Â Beirut - Postcards From Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Edwards Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Here's the title track to Neurosis' new album Given to the rising, really Neurosis have the best riffs in metal and I'll challenge anyone that disagrees to fisticuffs. Â Puts all the still good Neurosis wannabe bands like Isis back in their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly the same here, as I was listening I kept thinking "oh, there's a big crescendo looming" only for the song to either start over from scratch or change pace completely, I don't want to get involved in an Isis Vs Neurosis debate because I've had it more times than I care to admit but after hearing this song my opinion of Neurosis remains unchanged.

Rob Edwards Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Isis definately ripped them off, fair enough if you prefer their brand of it though. It's not like ripping good bands off is a bad thing.Aeon off through silver in blood has the daddy of crescendos, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bAzTNM Fan Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Queens Of The Stone Age - You Know What You DidNew QOTSA single.This isn't the new single, nor is it called 'You Know What You Did' - it's actually a B-side for the new album, and it is called "Era Vulgaris" (yep, eponymous song).Cracker of a tune though!

VirtuosoRusty Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Perhaps not a tune for a Saturday night, but it's there for Sunday morning:-  http://www.sendspace.com/file/agnrjk  This is off one of my favourite albums of last year - Howling Bells debut. At a time when most indie guitar bands were trying to be post-rock or revive the spirit of punk, they decided to sound like a road trip through the desert. And Juanita Stein has a fantastic voice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
