With this thread, I will have six hundred and sixty six posts on this forum. Break open the champaine!
In celebration of this event, I was thinking of going on a tirade about the failings of this botched chimp evolution called the human race. But no, instead I'm going to do something positive. I want to talk to you about something very important to me.
The state of music today is a wreck. Why should I care about Britney, Hilary, Ashlee, or any of those pop tarts when they can't sing the crummy song their handlers picked in the first place? And is anyone else sick of Green Day ripoff bands like Good Charlotte, Sum 41, A Simple Plan, and so on? Is it just me or has metal become a parody of itself? And hip hop just plain stinks. That's why I'm asking everyone who reads this to do something for me. TURN OFF THE RADIO! Trust me, it'll do you some good. Instead, here's a list of six bands that I think are really worth the time to check out. I'm urging everybody to at least give 'em a try. What could it hurt? Nothing! That's what! If anyone is brave enough to hunt these bands down and give 'em an ear, report back here with your review.
1. THE BILLY NAYER SHOW
(storytelling lounge band with a penchant for bizarre lyrics)
2. ISIS
(metal band with songs that go seven minutes or longer)
3. LE TIGRE
(low fi electronica about social and political issues that's easy to dance to)
4. LOVAGE
(the perfect soundtrack for the next time you get laid)
5. MC PAUL BARMAN
(hip hop ryhme structures based on mathmatical formulas)
6. SKELETON KEY
(vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and junk. you heard right)
