always loved p.s. you rocked my world!--also like 3-speed and can't remember the others right now--only had that one cd--didn't that have novacaine and my beloved little monster(or something like that?)
Hell Yeah!!
p.s you rocked my world and 3 speed were electro-shock blues, novocaine for the soul and my beloved monster were from beautiful freak
be sure to check out fresh feeling from souljacker, it'll make you cry
no no, i love bad news so it's all good news to me
i was also just pointing out that just because a band is on a major label or very popular doesn't mean they're selling out...
Yeah, that selling out talk is bullshit 90% of the time anyway. I personally think that if bands make music that lots of people wanna have, it's ok for them to get some money out of it. I think selling out starts when you make music with the thought in mind to sell more of it. This selling out stuff came up after Isaac Brock gave "Gravity rides everything" to some car company that used it for a commercial. I got no problem with that. He was honest about it and said he wanted some financial flexibility and the song was already there, so he can't have written it with the intention of selling it. I think MM are one of the straightest bands out there, major label or not.
I can't wait for the selling out chants to start regarding PJ, single for free, aol sessions, music video, lots of promo: it won't be long and we'll hear it.
Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?
Mr Bungle!!!! expands musical directions in all directions in awesome crazy weirdness with the best singer ever Mike Patton listen to Faith No More too while your at it
Well I guess it depends on wot your into other than PJ but you could try the following:
Placebo
Funeral for a friend
Bullet for my valentine
Fall out boy
The used
Maximo Park
The all american rejects
Live
Killers
I could go on and on and on...
Try some jazz on for size. A lot of your musical heroes listen to jazz, and it becomes very apparent the more you listen to jazz
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue or Bitches Brew
John Coltrane - Anything by Coltrane is just fine by me, but Giant Steps is a great starting point
Charlie Parker
Cannonball Adderley
MJQ
Herbie Hancock
Thelonius Monk - his quartet featuring John Coltrane live at Carnegie is one of the best jazz records I have ever heard.
Stanley Clarke

I knew the name for quit some time and I only recently done something with that fact.
I absolutetly love them.
I don't know of any selling out stuff.
But their music don't sound like they go out of their way to please
I agree with your vision on being commercial.
You have an Idea make the music and then see if any likes it.
Not the other way around.

I dont see how ya can say their "Sell Outs"??? I think Modest Mouse is are the shit... Im not the greatest fan of "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" but "The Moon & Antarctica" & "The Lonesome Crowded West" are both awsome!

They put on a wicket show live too...
This selling out stuff came up because they gave one of their songs away for a commercial and Good news is pretty condensed and has a more poppy sound. At least that's what those people say, I disagree and I dont think they have financial gain in mind when making their music. But if it comes out of it one cant and shouldnt blame them.

I have started listening to idiot pilot, think they are really cool. I listen to lot of different music, always PJ, but also other rock/indie, dance and electronica stuff. All the songs ive heard by idiot pilot are so uplifting and rocky but hardly hear anything about them in the UK.
People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

I would have to agree with the Jazz suggestions. Great stuff. The 1st one I started off with was Bitches Brew....and an amazing album. Plus...if you want anything else I would recommend any of these people...
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Thelonious Monk
Max Roach
and if want something new( though even he would advise to start with the Masters)
Richard Elliot.....I like the guy a lot...buy Ricochet and start from there
Sigur Ros - I love this band, so chilled out and quite different from anything i usually listen to. Their playing at a festival im going to in the summer, never seen them before but they are great. The myspace only has a couple songs but check them out.

Any album you can get a hold of.
If you have rhapsody, that's the way to go.

Yeah, money can come out of art, but art shouldnt come from money.
