Once upon a time, there was this blog (for the purposes of historical accuracy, let's call that blog: "bfd's Fantabulous Flying Circus and Circumcision Factory") that would routinely do a feature called "Saturday Night Tunes." We'd all curl up and do our hair and talk about the music we were listening to so we could discover new tunes.
And here we go! What are you listening to? A couple of big releases this week with RJD2's "The Colussus" and Spoon's "Transference" I had to jump on. What about you?

Some good new stuff out
Them Crooked Vultures – self titled
And the new Vampire Weekend….
Have you listened to the new RJD2, bfd? I love his stuff but the last few have been crap-tastic.
Agree
Definitely the worst of the lot so far. I re-listened to a couple others after, and the earlier stuff is so much better and dramatic. Then, I got 1976 stuck in my head all Friday, Dammit.

+1 on Them Crooked Vultures. Not quite the sum of their parts, but with parts like those, not necessarily a bad thing.

I just did my hour at the gym listening to Slipknot’s Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses.
Good, wholesome, angry music.
Thanks
Both of those new to me.

Meh, I've mostly been gaming over music the last month or so

Now gaming: the FF4 sequel they put out on Wii Ware.

FF4 was pretty much the first video game I played and loved of the genre
So I have enough nostalgic happiness to be digging this game.
Enough so to put up with the flaws (not a ton of new dungeons, waaay too many back attacks/too easy to die when this happens, and the ending is completely convoluted)

Hell, you should listen to some of these RPG music remixes I've seen on Youtube
Probably three of the best I’ve heard is “The Very End” & “Boss Battle 2+3 Remix” from Lufia 2 & “Dancing Mad-Tier 4” from FF6
“The Very End” from Lufia 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT2LJTr_A6s
“Boss Battle 2+3 Remix” from Lufia 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0boMVLcEj0
“Dancing Mad-Tier 4” from Final Fantasy 6

I've yet to do Lufia
And the other one is way too metal for me.
If you’re going remixes you might as well just bust out The Black Mages.

Speaking of once upon a time...
back on DGDBDM there was an awesome treatise on bbqing. Can anyone find that somehow? It should be required reading for all of us.
Just so happens, I'm using it right now.
Let me know how to post it or get MDC to do so. It’s required reading for any Q enthusiast and should be in publication, IMHO.

That post
was one of only four that I saved. I need to do a couple slight updates to it, but I’ll send it out to anyone who needs it.
And remember, cook your brisket fat side down or the terrorists win.
I always assumed "You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma" would be some sort of country music diss track. Live and learn, I guess.
going fat side down
First brisket I ever did was with the instructions from that very article. I have done about 20 since without deviating from the advice in it and hae had excellent results. Thanks!

Bob Schneider. Especially when Q’ing. And drinking Shiner.

Embarrassed to admit I haven’t bought his last one yet. Need to put it on the list.
Funny, though, is I have been listening to the Scabs a lot lately. Lonelyland has to be in at least my Top 10, if not higher.

Lovely Creatures is good.
My two favorites of his (and definitely in my Top 10) are The Californian and Freebird (Scabs).

Korpilklaani – Nothing like Icelandic heavy metal. Reminds me, oddly, of Jethro Tull.

Jeehesus Criste!!!!!!!!
I just went through and read every post here and it is all foreign to me! I suspect it is all or mostly metal or punk or somewhere in-between…not my style. I could listen to that for about 15 min just to be polite, then we would have to switch it to some classic Neil Young or early Jackson Browne….something that wouldn’t cause my head to break off at the neck! Hahaha! This all explains a lot. Thx for this bfd. When I get back and can use a real puter instead of this handheld, I will take some time to see just how musically demented y’all really are, LOL!

For me, my taste is somwhat mixed
Journey (grew up listening to them)
Dream Theater (different from everything else out there)
Disturbed
Staind
Sixx A.M.
Lacuna Coil
Then there’s the video game music. Aside from the Square Enix stuff, Megaman remixes are just absolutely classic
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.
Dream Theatre is great.
I like their old stuff better than the recent stuff. I still listen to alot of Journey and Foreigner if I’m in the right mindstate.

But their old stuff is damn good too. “Scenes From A Memory” was a damn good album, but overall my favorite song from Dream Theater is “The Glass Prison”

Everything after Believe has been downhill IMHO, but I’m more of a fan of traditional metal then nu which probably explains it.

Agreed.
More of a Metallica,Megadeth,Pantera listener than the new stuff.

For anyone that listens to rap.
Lil Wayne – No Ceilings is a must listen, drops some great sports references, including a great slam on VY in the song break up.
Z-Ro – is my favorite of all the Houston rappers he has two recent CD’s (Cocaine, and Relvis Presley) that are both must haves.
Yelawolf – Kinda new in the rap game, from Alabama, has an interesting style similar to Kid Kudi, has a mixtape out called trunk muzik.

Kid Cudi

Have you heard of Lupe’s recent mixtape? He had some really good songs on that one. I don’t like rap anymore, but those 3 that you mentioned alongside Aesop Rock, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Jedi Mind Tricks are actually worth listening to. Sadly, rap has been garbage on the most part.

Atmosphere songs.
A lot of the songs from the recent album “When life gives you lemons, paint that shit gold” like You, Like the rest of us, and Wild Wild Horses and Shoulda Known are pretty catchy. It’s more mainstream than underground though. My favorite song from them is “God’s Bathroom Floor”.
If you’re looking for other sites for music, try playlist.com. You can make your own playlist or browse other people’s playlist and you don’t have to pay anything unlike lastfm and pandora.
jamglue is another one i think.
And if you use limewire, mixtapetorrent.com or datpiff.com will allow you to download complete albums into limewire.
