Gasp! Bear posting in Misc? Scaries...
*cough* anyway, the purpose of this topic is to post the music you are listening to at the moment. Despite what you might be thinking right now, this thread is NOT designed to be a PC++ thread. Instead, my goal with the thread is to help other users discover new music they haven't heard before, find new bands they like, and ultimately unlock the secrets of the universe!
Ok so maybe not so much that last part, but I want good music to get spread around. I've discovered quite a few amazing bands in recent years that are completely off the mainstream radar for one reason or another, and I want to share my discoveries with others. To make this thread viable and the posts long enough, I want people to follow this format:
Song Title: Youtube links would be useful here.
Artist:
Album:
Song Length:
Genre:
Why this song and/or artist is amazing to you:
That should make the posts a little more organized and intelligent so this doesn't become a thread full of one-liners. Do your best with the Genre, I know sometimes it's difficult to classify certain bands. I'll start this off by posting my "Now Playing" from my Winamp at this very moment!
Song Title: Do You Call My Name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRXRRlICvgo)
Artist: Ra
Album: From One
Song Length: 5:19
Genre: Hard Rock
Why this song and/or artist is amazing to you: this song is what originally got me interested in this band. The Egyptian intro leading into the powerful and unique guitar melody absolutely captures me. Ra has been around for a little while, but has gone completely unnoticed by the mainstream crowd due to alot of bad luck with greedy labels. The lead singer, Sahaj Ticotin, is probably the most talented musician I have ever seen, being a multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, frontman, and amazing singer. In addition to all that, due to circumstances he had to record every instrument track on their first album BY HIMSELF. Quite a feat for anyone to accomplish. Their two most recent albums, Black Sun and Black Sheep, were both entirely self-produced by a label he created himself.
Oh...I almost forgot! A couple of rules to follow:
1) Only one post per person per day please. I don't want people using this thread to boost their postcount and post every song that comes up on their playlist
2) No flaming or criticizing other people's musical taste. If you don't like a song someone posts, you don't have to listen to it.
3) Follow the format I included above. Please do not make one line posts.
4) FICHIES!
