My sister bought the cassette tape of this album and listened to it on repeat. I was still pretty young at the time, but the music definitely made an impact on me. It is notorious for the hit singles: "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy the Silence." I think it is solid from start to finish. It manages to kick in full gear where needed and…
This playlist is about being out of control. Not being able to get what you want. Not wanting what you need. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ID_xbWhWjHMaWpWG5eGtuMI2B0mcCFs
This is not an album, like I had thought. It's just a three song single/EP. In fact, I don't even know what this is. I think I've listened to this band before and liked them back in the late 2000s. This seems a lot different from what I remember. It sounds like industrial goth on the lines of Ministry or KMFDM from the 90s.…
The year was 2005 and Coheed and Cambria released their most ambitious rock opera album about violence and a writer trying to understand his story that has grown bigger than himself. It is also the album that always comes to mind when talking about long album titles. If I had to pick one word to describe this album, I'd say it should be "Epic,"…
There is just something delicious about Scottish rock music. Maybe it's the way that Scottish singing (or more sing-talking in this case) really brings out the Scottish accent. It's especially nice when the lead singer has a deeper voice. I guess this band has been around since the mid-1990s and this is their first album in 16 years. It's classified as Indie Rock (whatever…
This playlist is about the journey through a relationship. The joy and the sorrow of love. Looking back at what was had. Looking back on what was lost. Remembering what should have been. Trying not to make the same mistakes. Trying to move forward. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ID_xbWhWjFJW-fPELoiqAMJpFXTxLt9
https://youtu.be/VDXVHq-11Mo Sometimes, you just need to fart around and make a music video. Now, we just need to get it on MTV.
I've been listening to this artist for awhile and I liked some of the earlier stuff. It's often been heavy electronic with distorted synths and noise. Sometimes it works well and leaves a lasting impression. Other times, not so well and makes you feel like you just wasted time. This time out, I'd say it didn't work out so well. I've only listened to…
A playlist for those who never quite fit in. A playlist for anyone looking for a place to call home. For those who have been left behind. For those who moved on. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ID_xbWhWjEeZKbdkckHknCH4QsVptKb
I've loved the Scottish band, Mogwai, for quite some time. They constantly surprise with new and inventive music, while still being true to their sound. Much of the time, it's just instrumental epic rock music that sounds like a film score for an apocalyptic movie. In fact, they've done plenty of film scores, which have added to the mood of most of those films…
