A few ones for you IC, mainly cos there's not many good rock songs (that no-one would've heard of) around...

 

My current looped song is Fischerspooner - Emerge, they're a kind of avant garde techno band, got their album, not the best but this track is pretty bangin' by the end. For some reason it reminds me of Storm - Time to Burn, which if you haven't heard you should definitely get too.

 

The other is Mad'House - Like a Prayer, a fairly straight cover, a bit cheesy but with a nice thumping bassline.

Yahven left me with John Maer - "No Such Thing" a while back... You mightve heard "83" or Yahven's previous hype of this guy's cover of "Message in a bottle"; if not, he's a really good acoustic guy, really good stuff if youre in the mood. Lyrics alone make this song worth it; seriously, grab it if youve a chance, its fun.

I've heard 'no such thing'. It's pretty cool. Very DMBish, in a good way, not a wannabe way. IC, check out Makeshift Patriot by Sage Francis. You'd liek it. It's about hypocritical post-9/11 patriotism. Chorus: Makeshift Patriot, The flag shop is outta stock, I hang myself at half-mast.

 

I'm serious, check this one out, this is a great song. And the other one I recommended (Inherited Scars) has some cool sax playing that really works well with the hip-hop beats.

Not too bad recommendations there IC. I 5th (or whatever) the Idlewild stuff, genius!

 

When our house finally gets the broadband connection I'm gonna hunt for a new file-sharing program now that AUdiogalaxy is kaput. I was gonna go for WinMX first, but what does everyone else like?

 

IC, for your techno electronica tastes try,

 

Zoot Woman - 'Living in a Magazine'

Laptop - 'I'm so happy you failed', and 'Nothing to Declare'

NaS featuring Pharell - The Flyest (NaS' angels) - Radio better blow this one up...more reasons why he's the best rapper alive.

Timbaland, Missy & Magoo - Cop that shit (Chief, this is the one off the radio we couldnt find)

Freeway, Beanie Sigel & Jay-Z - What we do is wrong

Ludacris - Act a fool (Off 2 fast, 2 furious...cool ass song)

Ginuwine - Stingy (R&B, i like it better than "Those jeans" the one theyre blowing up now)

Jahiem - Put that woman first - more R&B, try Monica - So Gone if youre in the mood for this stuff

Gang Starr featuring Jadakiss - Right where you stand (fun old school-like rap)

Hah...i wish the RIAA would take my broke ass to court over my 23+ gigs of mp3's. I have little to no faith in lawyers as it is, but jesus, that one cant be a hard case.

"My client, one of 22 million that connected to kazaa today, took a few songs. They were backups, as he had the CD's before he pawned them for crack. Also, remember: its the fucking internet. Fuck you your honor and have a good day."

 

Chief - tried to get your Keith Murray, Redman & Erick Sermon - Yeah yeah you know it, but that one's a bitch...most of em on kazaa skip.
