Whew. :)

I switched over to buying most of my music through iTunes 6 years ago. As a result, I really only listened to what I had purchased through there, and hadn't bothered to transfer over all the other music (i.e. burned CD's, Amazon/Bandcamp/other downloads, etc.) from my old system.

I finally got around to firing up the drive that had most of my video game soundtracks and all the previous music that I hadn't transferred over to my new PC. Imported just under 30,000 songs this morning. :shock: Found a bunch of old gems I had completely forgotten about. Like this one...

Rancd has probably gotten the most consistent play in my rotation over the past decade. My kids know most of the songs by pure osmosis. They say they prefer the Interrupters but they always sing and hum Rancid.

Rancid can be hit and miss for me (mostly miss), but what a damn great song that is.

And it made me jump in the wayback machine and bust out Op Ivy today as well.

Got this song in my head and just keeps going round and round. These girls can dance that shuffle too. Especially that 3 group.

It never clicked for me either, and nor has the new one. I do like S&D though.

This one's a bit of a cheat since it never existed. FJ0RDS were an amazing band from Wales in the UK, they released a few stand-alone tracks and a couple of EPs about five years ago, all of it brilliant, then they disappeared. I put all their stuff together in an "album" when it was pretty clear they weren't coming back. I probably got the graphics from their website which is gone now.

My kids are always requesting "dance party" whenever daddy gains control of the remotes. The other night, for the first time I put on The Talking Heads (starting with Psycho Killer). My 3 year old daughter immediately began to do a David Byrne strut that was absolutely spot-on -- she never heard the song before but her performance was spot-on.

This is not the first time my kids have surprised me. A month or so ago I played "Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing -- they never heard that either and the two of them (boy is 6) did Patrick Swayze proud.

Below lies dangerously catchy folk metal:

Not sure when I turned away from them. I have tons of their B Sides and singles and appearances on other material. Honey's Dead is the last album I remember clearly but I think I picked up Roller Coaster and Stoned and Dethroned after that but I couldn't tell you a single song off the later and the only stuff i can recall from the former had already been released on other works ("Tower of Song"). I think Automatic was the last work I truly loved.

Abigail Williams - Like Carrion Birds



Obsessed with a few of these guys' tracks recently. Unfortunately I missed them in concert earlier this week. :( This song is from their early, metalcore-ish symphonic black phase. I usually think of metalcore as being a dirty word, but really good metalcore elements can be pretty awesome.


The Departure




I'm a sucker for tempo switches and mid-range shrieks.

Decent band...terrible name. :)

It's a really good day for new metal. The new releases from Strigoi and Obsequiae that dropped today are both fantastic.

I love, love, love the harpsichord(?) bits on the Obsequiae albums. They're so beautiful.



I'm also a bit baffled as to why Greg Mackintosh killed Vallenfyre and started a new band though...Strigoi sounds exactly like Vallenfyre did. Not complaining, mind you, it just seems like an odd choice.
