-coldplay
-mars volta
-the libertines
-radiohead
-bjork
-agustus pablo
-eek a mouse

I LOVE Mum! If you haven't already, check out Takako Minekawa. She doesn't sound like Mum, but for some reason when I think of one I think of the other. Some of her production is so damn good...and she's got several albums out that all have a different sound.

checking it out right now, kinda tight!

Mum's got a new album out this year!

good year this year for releases.....Mum, Morrissey, The Cure (b sides box set and new album?), Air, etc etc...lovin it!

scott.

[Blue]

If you can find a song by Takako called "Destron" check it out...that's the only song title I can think of off the top of my head, but it's one that I really like - much different than most of her other stuff though.
That's sweet that there'll be a new Mum. I heard that they once comosed music for an "under water" concert where the speakers were in a swimming pool and the people attending the concert were in the pool! That sounds like it coulda been a very cool performance.

[Filth Wagon UK]

THe Darkness hasn't left my player in a while. I think they're the only band to make 'you fucking cunt' in their lyrics to come across as eloquent. Others include

Paul Weller
The Jam
Sex Pistols
Radiohead
Nirvana
REM
Coldplay
Silverchair
Audioslave
Kruder and Dormeister (Mellow Drum and Bass)
Lots of Drum And Bass/Jungle

[Soul_Man]

I'm gonna have to go with...

-Earth, Wind, and Fire
-Tower of Power
-Michael Jackson(Albums before his latest one)
-Confunkshun

scientist is overton brown, one dude. what have you heard so far?

there was a goth band called the scientists. their shit is wack as fuck.

[verbal kint]

sorry, i thought it was a group.

i've only heard a couple stuff that my homie had, and i thought it was some of the tightest dub shit i've heard. the title of the record i heard had something to do with space invaders or something, i forgot what it was. i also heard the stuff they have on gta3.

[_Unknown*]

how could i forget martin campbell. hes the man!

no worries. the group or back up band is the roots radics. scientist basically remixed what are called riddims or versions (popular roots riffs) with fx like echoes, flanges, delays, shit like that. king tubby and lee perry along with prince jammy were possibly the most influential figures in roots music. scientist came along at age 18 to follow in their footsteps and he CAME CORRECT! now there is a REAL living legend!! too many greats died young. jamaica is fucking gnarly.

'scientist meets the space invaders.' i'll play you more stuff like that tomorrow. might be a keg down in mission, guys (tonight). i'll hit you up if it's a for sure thing. right now i'm gonna go jam bass at my homie's pad.
