  1. Isn't he working on a Country and a Rock album? I'd be interested in him doing some Country stuff. I really like Bach's voice, and I'm just wondering why I don't look up more of his stuff. All I've heard (in full) from him are Skid Row, Slave To The Grind, and Angel Down. I know he's had a few side-projects as well.

    His voice fits country pretty well:

    ;)

    Also Bach is a nice guy, met him in 2007.

  2. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (November 2nd)

    Comments: There are a lot of indie songwriters who debut every year, get hyped endlessly in the lead-up, and don\'t really do a whole lot for me. I have a group of friends who are really into indie music, and they started talking about Bon Iver last year. I didn\'t really expect to be impressed, but then I started seeing more and more recommendations and glowing reviews in reliable magazines, so I decided to give it a listen. I fell for it almost immediately - the haunting opening track, \"Flume,\" starts off the record perfectly. It only gets better from there. The thing I admire most about it is that it doesn\'t really go for the typical indie-songwriter cliches -- no Neutral Milk Hotel aspirations or what have you, just good atmospheric folk. A bit more traditional which works in its favour. One thing to keep in mind is that you have to be in the right mood to hear this - it\'s perfect to put on right before you\'re getting ready to sleep. If you like folk or acoustic music in general, or are looking to listen to more of the genre, this is a really good place to start. I\'d say anyone who\'s into lo-fi or traditional folky singer-songwriter stuff will enjoy this.

    Sample: Skinny Love (Live on Jools Holland)

    Awesome record thanks for the recommendation ER ;)

  3. They talk like the music was the soul reason for her suicide, there were probably other factors involved and the culture was just a vessel in which she was able to take her life. She was a teenager, completely emotionally naive, probably a relationship drove her over the edge, examine the parents, they probably had a part in driving her in one way or another.

    Exactly...she was probably ugly too.

    :rofl-lol:

    I blame Days Of Our lives though.

  4. I got a bottle of Night train right here! Don't have plans to open it anytime soon as I hear the taste is spectacular - waiting for the right moment :P

    As for where to find it, shops around LA sell it for a bit over 2$ or something I think.

  5. This one.......... Still after several years Im not sure if those guys are just taking piss or are they serious about their music, any case they are fucking HORRIBLE!

    That was shit. :lol:

    As I said FUCKING HORRIBLE almost makes me cry.. The lyrics are just, well words can't describe how shit they are.

    Huh – hah – huh – hah

    Huh – hah – huh – hah

    May there be the wind and the storm

    and in the home warm

    It is manhood and honor

    to do one’s duty

    The world though cold

    even warmth has its place

    The field calls for heroes

    and by no means the fearful

    Where the men ride

    there the sheep do not rove

    Where the men ride

    The wolves do howl

    Huh – hah – huh – hah

    May before us be destruction

    and behind us be the glow of love

    Man has his duty

    to remember his courage

    No one can avoid pain

    and meander along the eddies of life

    The field calls for heroes

    and by no means the fearful

    Where the men ride

    there the sheep do not rove

    Where the men ride

    The wolves do howl

    Where the men, the men ride

    Where the men, the men ride

    Where the men ride

    there the sheep do not rove

    Where the men ride

    The wolves do howl

    Where the men ride

    there the sheep do not rove

    Where the men ride

    The wolves do howl

    Where the men hah – huh – hah

    Where the men hah – huh – hah

    :scared:

  7. Here's a Guns N Roses reference from the piece.

    "James was really trying to deconstruct that song (autumnsong) at one point because it was so obvious that it was Sweet Child O' Mine and Aerosmith's I See You Crying. And I just had to sit him down at one point and say, "if it sounds like you're ripping off Slash... it's a good thing. It's what you are." From that moment on, we didn't really have to work on anything. It just came naturally. We talked about not being afraid to be a tad clichéd. When we play live, we are a cliché - we play Paradise City and get up on the Marshall stacks. The hook line "Baby what you done to your hair?" is really close to an Aerosmith song. But it's a song about being young and connecting with something you love... a girl, a record you want to play twenty times in a row. Things that give you the power to go outside and believe you can actually do something. You get drenched in paranoia, being in a band. And it's stupid. Being in a rock 'n' roll band is just a euphoric kick."

    Now I understand why I've always loved Autumn Song ;)
