Green Day - 21 Guns



No wait - I think Neil Young was first, but I guess those true rebel hardcore punk rock fucks from the streets (produced by Butch Vig) didn't know....

Are there certain seasons where you like to listen to certain albums? There are for me, around this time of the year I start to listen to Gish, Siamese Dream, Pisces Iscariot, Murmur, The Reckoning, Fables of the Reconstruction, Signs Of Life, Carnival Of Rust, and Revolution Roulette.

In the fall/winter I rather listen to goth stuff like Tim Bowness solo, Joy Division, New Order and Bauhaus.
In spring/summer I'm a lot into Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction, Porno For Pyros) and ZWAN.

Yeah, I find that I listen to a lot of stuff more often depending on the season, it's weird. I always feel the need to listen to MCIS in the spring.

I remember when I was a little child I use to ride my bicycle and listen to Gish. For some reason Smashing Pumpkins's and R.E.M.'s first three albums are my summer albums. Adore is my Winter album.


In case you're not depressed here's something to depress you.

Wild Yaks-River May Come & Tomahawk.

This album is sooo addicting.

I am listening to good music all the time but this is one of the songs that go deep as few others do.
The lyrics seem like capturing essential parts of my life's history and that is saying a lot.
(and yes I know I have posted this tune here before)

Speaking of lyrics, I want to know Sam Beam's method. I've been trying to decipher how he can come up with catchy melodies, perfect phrasing, and significant imagery in every damn song he writes. I just discovered this forgotten, lost track a day ago, and sure enough, it's catchy and deep as any other song he's ever done.

What is his method?!! It's driving me up the wall.

I just bought Justin Timberlake-Futuresex/Lovesounds....I am having the time of my life.

That'll be the highlight of my week now. All downhill from here... thanks...

Ew yuck, I hate that weird looking girl! But to each his own.

Have you guys ever heard of The Tragically Hip? They are amazing, I just found out about them! Give them a listen!

Spaceoy wrote: Yes, I have heard about them. I grew up with them on the radio and on Much Music (our equivalent to MTV) here in Canada. I never really got into them though. My brother bought one album of theirs, I want to say in 1996. I forget the album name, but it had "Ahead by A Century" on it.

The Tragically Hip, are the Canadian R.E.M., and that's no insult because R.E.M. is the best!

I'm listening To Led Zeppelin "When The Levy Breaks", my favorite Led Zeppelin track.
