What music?

I can’t stop listening to P.O.S. We Don’t Even Live Here
So good.

Now that I think about it, I go through phases with music I listen to while working. For a while I was doing really fast metal stuff. The tempo seemed to keep me moving forward. There’s also this french electro-dance group called Yelle that keeps me energized and positive. Lately I’ve been listening to this internet radio stream called “chillout lounge” that is all electronic ambient stuff.

An album that I’ve had in rotation lately is the last smashing pumpkins record, Oceania. I disliked most of the stuff they did after Mellon Collie, but this one is not bad at all.

I usually try to listen to lyric-less tunes while working to keep my thoughts in line but Macklemore’s Thrift Store has been an exception…

Fixed your youtube link for you.

i haven’t decided if i really like Macklemore’s stuff yet or not, i think production is pretty good, just not yet sure if i like his emcee-ing style, feel like some times he nails it and other times he has some really lame lines. i dont take note of much hip hop anymore though, so ill give him credit that he caught my ear a few times.

Absolutely heavy metal, and not an single electric cord used. Mnzozil Brass is an Austrian touring band. If you ever get the chance to go to a performance… take it.

How do you embed YouTube videos in posts? Can’t seem to get that tag to work…

Not really a fan of Macklemore and i’m from Seattle…Ryan Lewis makes some dope tracks though.

I listening to mellow one to relax my mind on doing it.

How do you embed YouTube videos in posts?

Go the the Youtube URL…

Take the alpha-numeric code after the " = " (highlighted in red) and paste it between [youtub-]QK8mJJJvaes[/youtub-] - brackets. Disregard everything after the alpha-numerics [ … &feature=player_embedded] I left out the final “e” so it would display correctly

Gotten into JJ Grey & Mofro lately. Funky sound. Don’t know how to explain it other tha aewsome!

And Modern Man was remiss to not have included anything by Klaus Schultze and Conrad Schnitzler. What was Modern Man thinking?!?!

Im going to second JJ Grey & Mofro. They have a down and dirty southern sound that is perfect to sit back and enjoy. Ive been jammin to them a lot since the new album came out.
