So much stuff to try!

Once I decide to stop studying for the day, I'll give some more of these suggestions a listen.

Thanks to all who have suggested music so far. Keep 'em coming, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who's going to try out some new music.

Matthew Barber- The Story of Your Life

Jody Raffoul- Like A Star
Jamie Cullum- twentysomething - he plays jazz covers of songs in different genres. There's a bonus track of him doing Frontin' by Pharrell Williams.

Also, Karma and Alone are good to. They were on assorted ep's they released over in the UK, and they're seriously better than a lot of the stuff on their debut. And you and I both know how good their debut was. :drool:


:nod: :drool:

Raindance is awesome.

I love how they have all of this stuff streamable on their site. No annoying searches for rare songs. :nod:


habba habba wah!?

I hunted for those tracks for hours on kazaa!

I don't understand. This calls for a :Johnathan:

Oh and since I am not a music fiend like most of you all. I can't really recommend too many bands.

That's cause you suck!

Go to "The Tracks", then scroll down and you'll see tonnes of albums and EP's listed, with the songlists beside them. Just click on the song, and another window will pop asking you for your player preferance and filesize (sml, med, lrg). Make your choice and stream away.

I figured that much out. :P

I simply can't get WMP to stream anything. I don't know why, it tells me to connect to the internet first. :Johnathan:

So do I, but it's usefull. You know, when you want to get something and it's only in ram. Or if your WMP isn't working right, and RP is your only other option.

Kind of like you right now, actually. :P

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

[glow=yellow]Rachael Yamagata[/glow] - "Be Be Your Love" (definatly the best on the album) also try "Letter Read" "1963" and "Reason Why"

If you can find it, "These Girls" is amazing as well, but that might be harder to find for d/l as it is from her first (lesser known) EP album and it's a secret track at that.

Brutus is an honorable man
It's just coincidence that oil men will wage war in an oil rich land
And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...

But Brutus is an honorable man...
