Re: Can we just do another music thread?
That song ain't bad, my Chumley. Probably not the stuff I'd listen too on a regular basis, but still pretty cool.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Eh, it's a bit generic indie, to be honest (right down to the ridiculous name - as is standard for American indie acts). It's not particularly bad, just kind of bland. They are one of the most british sounding american bands I've heard in a while though.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
uh..metal..there's very little metal I like..and I will admit with not a hint of shame that I have no clue as to what sub-genre of metal they fall into..or if they are all, indeed, metal.
the few names that spring to mind are
Uriah Heep
AC/DC
Nirvana
Manowar
Blind Guardian
Rhapsody of Fire (because it has Christopher Lee in it, so it's made of WIN)
Metallica

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Indie, you think? Maybe it was just that song, but they're just as shoegazey and postpunk as they are indie... which isn't much. But then, depends on how you define indie. To me, indie rock's stuff like Wilco and Arcade Fire. Bland, I can understand, though.
As to the name, sounds WAY more metal than it does indie. While there are plenty of ridiculous indie band names out there, I can't think of a single one that'd do something as cheesy and unironic as Trail of Dead.Avatar by Kris on a Stick

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
It's... good. Very good. Enjoy.
Uriah Heep was actually one of the first first forerunners of metal. That list seems to lean towards plain old heavy metal and power metal. I'd say anything from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, that lot might strike your fancy.
Also, speaking of Most Grand Chancellor Sir Lord Christopher Lee, he recently made his own orchestral/symphonic/metal album, called Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross. And it's exactly as awesome as it sounds.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Both of which are (sub)genres that are closely linked to indie in the first place...
As to the name, sounds WAY more metal than it does indie. While there are plenty of ridiculous indie band names out there, I can't think of a single one that'd do something as cheesy and unironic as Trail of Dead.
Still wouldn't class them as being metal themselves though.Last edited by Mx.Silver; 2011-09-21 at 03:54 AM.

If you disagree then fine, we'll just leave it at that. I really don't want to bog the thread down with another pointless genre-debate.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
By no stretch of the imagination am I saying Trail of Dead is metal, and I guess I should clarify my frustration with referring to them as "indie": whenever they put out a good album, it's labeled as indie. Whenever they put out a bad one, it's labeled as prog. They're clearly not prog, but there are elements there; maybe not in the song I linked, but in plenty of others. And, sure, there are indie elements, but I guess I'll I'm saying is it's a little reductionist to just label 'em as one or the other.
Also, speaking of post-punk, anyone have any thoughts on Public Image Limited? I really, really don't want to like 'em, but there's something so frustratingly compelling about their music...Avatar by Kris on a Stick

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Does anyone here in this thread have a favourite version of Tainted Love? I mean, Tainted Love is a pretty widely covered song without any particular definitive version.
Personally, I like the Soft Cell version, which is bouncy synthpoppy style stuff, and the Coil version, which is a downright creepy droney song about the last thoughts of a man who has AIDS.i am going to make it through this year

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Marilyn Manson version first, Soft Cell version (although not Where Did Our Love Go) a close second.
I am currently attempting to broaden my Electronic Music (all all various subgenres). Currently I have Daft Punk (also Stardust) and Justice that I've loved forever, a handful of Deadmau5 and a bit of Armin Van Buuren that I've just gotten into. Really, I'm looking for something either super electro and danceable or super 70s and funk a la Daft Punk.

The Soft Cell version is the only one that I can bear.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Digitalism's some great electrohouse, probably the most energetic electronic group I know of.
Black Moth Super Rainbow's REALLY hard to categorize; they're definitely electronic, but they're less dance music and more lying in a field on a sunny day music.
Glitch Mob's halfway between some of the more polished dubstep, and Derezzed Daft Punk, while being neither dubstep nor house. I dunno what your tolerance for cheese is, but I've got a soft spot for 'em...
Hercules & Love Affair are as late-70s-disco as you can get without a time machine; Larry Levan woulda crapped himself if he'd heard 'em.
Huoratron DJs metal shows. His music has nothing to do with metal and it still ends up heavier than most of the guys he plays with.
The Juan Maclean does pretty classic Deep House, the best I've ever heard.
And so on and so forth.Avatar by Kris on a Stick
