yikes!
not available in my country.... =(
not a techno fan but that isn't horrible. the lyrics, what little there are of them, are very good.
I hope they can play live now. I saw them supporting NIN a few years back and they were awful.

Love this one! Steve Earle, Copperhead Road. Hard to imagine it's as old as it is.

It's nice to see a band that really takes the job seriously. They really sound great, and what a fantastic shoot / edit on the video! Never heard of them, but I'm interested.I hope they can play live now. I saw them supporting NIN a few years back and they were awful.

I only posted the Ladytron video because I was thinking of it in relation to the "21 years old and no girlfriend" thread.
But yeah, I'm struck by how simple they can be sometimes... and I think Helen Marnie is really cute. Guess she just got married this past year, so I'll have to keep searching, haha!
Mansun have been and gone unfortunately... leaving three great studio albums and an out-takes triple CD behind.
Check out 'Attack of the Grey Lantern', a really amazing debut - and the tracks 'The Chad Who Loved Me' and 'Wide Open Space' are classics.

I guess for an electro type band, playing live is kind of a bonus. The guys did OK, but one of the girls was playing bass badly. Kind of an odd band... especially when they lurch into Bulgarian!
The soundtrack from the movie Jackie Brown, "Across 110th Street" (Bobby Womack), "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" (Delfonics), "Strawberry Letter123" (The Brothers Johnson), and, of course, "Long Time Woman" (Pam Grier herself). Great movie and terrific soundtrack...
Yeah, the other girl is from Serbia, if I'm not mistaken. I think it's funny when one of them has a period of nothing to play, so they just sort of back away from the keyboard and nod along to the beat with their arms at their sides. Not exactly riveting stage presence. It makes me imagine they're thinking, "Look how easy this is to do. I could be reading a book while I perform. F U." That makes me laugh to myself, and people wonder what I find so amusing. "I got to tell you, I've been livin' in a wiggly world, now. A wiggly world, a wiggly world!"
Thanks for the info on Mansun!
Had to put some Death on myself after this!
Death = Suicide Machine......... \m/
Béla Fleck and the Flecktones' newest album, Rocket Science. Just amazing music, which can't be classified as it's a mix of many genres.
I really like the shifting associated with the odd meters of the melody in the song above. The proghead inside of me, I guess.
Sinister Minister is among my short list of all-time favourite "tunes".
I'm finding it hard to create a list of favorite tunes, there are just too many good songs out there
But yeah, Sinister Minister is really great. However if I had to elect a favorite Flecktones song I would probably go with either Scratch And Sniff or Lover's Leap.
I'm still on a Ladytron kick. This song is a little more evolved than the last one I posted, you could say. I really dig the Callanish Stones location as well.
