Another post...

Hello again, it's Alsworth! Here to shove some more music into your ears.

This time I have something known as Red Hot Chili Peppers' new album called I'm with You. As expected, it is very high quality from the Chilis, even with the new guitarist: Josh Klinghoffer. Their style has seemed to have very slightly change, becoming a little more bass has been added which sounds quite awesome.

Recommended Tracks:

- Monarchy of Roses

- Brendan's Death Song

- The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie

A few other things I find myself lately, although I'm not really listening to much recently, is OSTs (Original Soundtracks). For you who don't know, these are all of the songs used for a particular film/tv program/video game. I mainly listen to video game soundtracks and they are usually quite nice.

Some examples:

- The World Ends With You (DS) ~ It's So Wonderful

- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii/PC/PS3/360) ~ The Force Unleashed

- Professor Layton series (DS) ~ Layton's Theme

That's it from me, Alsworth signing off!

Listen to some shit

Yeah, I'm back! Have a band.

Youth Lagoon - Imagine a sweeping orchestral feel, echo-y pianos, Modest Mouse-ish vocals (except prettier), ringing percussion, and twinkling electrical hooks, and you'll get something like Youth Lagoon. This band from Idaho has some serious song-writing chops, so pay attention and you might learn something. Good for late nights, early mornings, and when you're feeling uninspired. This should fix that right up.

Montana - This video is a work of art in itself, so watch AND listen! What a concept!

Here we go...

So, here I am. Alsworth here to tell you about some music you should listen to.

First of all I would like to introduce you to a band call Project RnL. They are a group of guys that do some covers but in a style of their own. They also do something called 'VideoSongs', which is where they show them actually performing it and edited inside the video. There has been a couple of appearances from Jordan Rudess, part of the band Dream Theater, doing some stuff on iPads and keyboards.

Talking about Dream Theater, they have released a single called 'On The Backs of Angels', which will be on their latest album, 'A Dramatic Turn of Events', that'll be out on the 13th of September this year. This will also be the first album with the new drummer, Mike Mangini. Check out how he made it, here. If you're looking to check out some other Dream Theater stuff, I would recommend the tracks; 'The Spirit Carries On' , 'The Dark Eternal Night' and 'Honor Thy Father'.

This has been my first post and I hope it's OK.

See you guys.

Yet another introduction

Hello, I'm Wolf. I enjoy writing and wearing women's clothing. I'm just kidding. No, about the second one.

I'm a bit of a tenderfoot compared to the other genius posters on this blog; my music knowledge is nothing compared to their vast mental encyclopedias of obscure musical trivia and taste. So, I'm here to learn as well as to hopefully expand the musical libraries of others.

I'll start with introducing two artists you may or may not have heard of:

Nujabes - A DJ and producer out of Japan that many know from his work on the Samurai Champloo soundtrack. His work is composed of, (at the same time,) hard hitting beats and soulful jazz fills, catchy piano hooks and unexpected changes in mood, and, I will dare to say, sorrow and euphoria. Great music to chill or dance too; when he collaborated with rap artists, what resulted was something you can listen to and feel like a gangsta' without feeling slightly stupid. (I say collaborated because Nujabes (Jun Seba) was killed in Feburary 2010 in a car crash, much to collective sorrow of the music world.)

Recommended Tracks:
Feather (feat. Cise Starr & Akin)
Kumomi

Emily Wells - A young artist out of the big old state of Texas, Emily Wells is like a one woman symphony orchestra who shoots hip hop out of her fingers. With clever use of the infamous loop pedal, Wells creates music that lies down and jumps back up, reminding you both of Beethoven and quirky hiphoppers like Hot Chip. And this all happens while Well's sweet voice dances atop her classical rhythm of awesomeness. Seriously, give this a listen.

Recommended Tracks:
Symphony 1 in the Barrel of a Gun
Symphony 2 and the Click Click Boom

Third new guy in a row

And I am talkative, so my posts are unlikely to share the brevity of previous ones. As a gift for reading my post, I offer ...And So I Watch You From Afar, an Irish post-rock band. This is not post-rock from the domain of Explosions In The Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, though; while ASIWYFA have undoubtedly studied the genre, they do not deal in slow-building, crescendo-based epics, but raw musical passion. While there is undoubtedly technical skill to spare among the four-piece- check out drummer Chris Wee's chops- they never descend into technical wankery, as is the risk with instrumental rock. Music to headbang to, from start to finish.
