What are you listening to?

Cool music piece from old anime

Last one, for now! 

^ Takes me back to my childhood. Both of my parents were big fans of The The. Thanks for posting that. :)

Another song that takes me back to when I was incredibly young:
 

I like The The a little bit, but I love that song. I only found it a few years ago, but I remember seeing them mentioned in some sort of NIN promotion years ago. I think may have downloaded some as long ago as Napster, but it wasn't Slipknot enough for me at the time.

Reminds me of a beautiful song.

Quote

A sad fact widely known 

The most impassionate song 
To a lonely soul 
Is so easily outgrown 
But don't forget the songs 
That made you smile 
And the songs that made you cry 
When you lay in awe 
On the bedroom floor 
And said : "Oh, oh, smother me Mother..."
No... 
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring 
La... 

The passing of time 
And all of its crimes 
Is making me sad again 
The passing of time 
And all of its sickening crimes 
Is making me sad again 
But don't forget the songs 
That made you cry 
And the songs that saved your life 
Yes, you're older now 
And you're a clever swine 
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you 

The passing of time leaves empty lives 
Waiting to be filled (the passing...)
The passing of time 
Leaves empty lives 
Waiting to be filled 
I'm here with the cause 
I'm holding the torch 
In the corner of your room 
Can you hear me? 
And when you're dancing and laughing 
And finally living 
Hear my voice in your head 
And think of me kindly 
No ... 
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring 
La... 
No... 
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring 

Do you 
Love me like you used to? 
Oh... 
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring 
La... 

You're clever 
Everybody's clever nowadays 
You're clever 
Everybody's clever nowadays 

You are sleeping 
You do not want to believe 
You are sleeping 
You do not want to believe 
You are sleeping 
You do not want to believe 
You are sleeping

I'm very eclectic in my musical tastes, but 80's Alternative Pop is always in my rotation.

I really wish I had the time to figure out my midi issues, read about sound fonts find a decent midi controller and find an intuitive DAW so that I could experiment with some music for my mod.

I get the impression you have a cache of great tunes larger than DK's banana horde.

Doomkid's banana stash is without equal.

@everennui haha, well I do have a music collection that's about 153 gigs, minus what I've never ripped from CD, so there's bound to be a few gems in there occasionally.

I know I have at least 200G. I now have an 8G iPod, but I used to have a 160G and I still had a lot of music that I couldn't fit on it. Most of it is sub 200kbs because when I ripped them size was a concern. I could probably get rid of some of it, but I don't like to get rid of music, and a lot of my CDs are scratched. :( I take better care of my things now.

Edit: I should have just said 192kbs, but there are admittedly some lower than that. 

^ Nice and chill, could totally fit into some kind of advert or silent cartoon.

@Megalyth - Twelve Foot Ninja's brilliant. My favourite track of theirs is Mother Sky. In fact I'ma listen to it now, so I guess it counts for this thread. :P

 

 

Oh nice, love me some TFN, one of the better aussie rock/metal bands for sure.

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk, youtube should guide you from there.

Gotta love some A Perfect Circle, or Tool for that matter.

Nice, not heard this band before. I'm about 5 minutes in and still enjoying it. I'll probably check out more after this song.

Before listening to the above I had just found this on Youtube. Looks like Arch Enemy have finally got some decent competition when it comes to female fronted metal:
 

I'm so fucking tough. I'm so fucking tough. That's right! (Dethklok - Face fisted)
 

Love her voice. 

Currently listening to these two a lot:

Such a dark song from Dio. I was surprised when I first listened to it and the Dehumanizer album. I was used to the classics only (Paranoid, Master of Reality, Heaven and Hell, e.t.c.)

This one I recently found out and although it is about an Irish folk song or something with a videoclip of lesbians, I enjoy its riffs a lot and it is a fun cover by Metallica.

A classy one:
 

There's a new one coming out? I've been out the loop but PLEASE drop a link here when it comes out.

On topic, Forty-six & 2 is one of my favourite songs, and this fan made music video using Pan's Labyrinth clips works REALLY well. :)

When I was younger, I worked with food at an amusement park in the Ireland section. Often times I'd be outside grilling up shrimp and watching a group of musicians/entertainers perform for an hour here and there a few times a day. Among the songs they played was this, though of course more like the original folk song than Metallica's cover. Good song, if a little Gaelic ;p
