	I'm getting old- name me some good new music Inflate your Upload Space

I can't think of anything released in 2005 that is any good. Everytime I turn on the radio, everything I hear is crap. the one exception is Cigaro by System of a Down. BYOB is okay, but kind of mellow for those guys. The whole new album seems weak. I like melody, but for these guys, I want them to be heavier, not wimpier.

And why is it so many bands release a heavy first album, and then they ***** (rhymes with wussy) out? I hate that. I want heavy music, not girlie music.

I try to keep up with new music. Some of it is decent. I liked godsmack. And of course system of a down. And tool (though their music is in a class of its own). Even the one hit wonders had some decent songs. Like that song: she ****ing hates me (last year). But every time I turn on the radio now, I hear nothing redeeming at all. Just pale imitations of the music that was popular the past few years.

It's a good thing I still have all my old tapes and CD's (and mp3's). I miss when Thrash music was popular (it was never really popular, but there were many bands doing it). I miss guitar solos. Even Metallica doesn't do them anymore. Are these new bands so devoid of talent and inspiration they can't come up with a decent guitar solo?

Name me some good new music please.

The other day when driving in California I happend to turn on a jazz and a classical station. That music is very relaxing when driving. It makes me want to kill people less when driving. You know you are getting old when you start liking classical and jazz music. I need to find stations like that in Vegas. The one station I was listening to was 91.5 in Los Angeles.

Another sign I'm getting old was when I was at Hooters recently. I kept thinking these girls are just underdressed. It wasn't even hot outside (in fact, it was downright cool in San Diego), and these girls were just underdressed. I really don't care to see women dressed like that anymore. It doesn't do anything for me. Although that might be a sign I'm turning gay.

I've been listening to Kasabian lately and I like their sound. Postal Service is ace as is Modest Mouse's good news for people who love bad news album. For more mellow try Cat Power's you are free or Mia Doi Todd's latest album. The Decemberists are always worth a listen as well.

As a general rule you will never hear anything good on the radio. You must look for independent (indie) bands and attend a few concerts. Alternatively the net provides a great place to ferret out good indie bands plus you can get internet casts or torrents of their stuff so you know you like it before you buy it.

I suppose the same applies to me too really, I am interested in some new bands. Nothing too soppy or soft though, mind you

Buy the new Dream Theater album: Octavarium
No commercial waste of time. Music that grows on you everytime you listen to it!

The song Octavarium (24 minutes) is a real masterpiece.

Music with a capital 'M'!

Milemarker and Books Lie might be up your alley, they sound Hardcore/Emocore to me. Jawbreaker is an excellent post-punk band but they've been broken up for awhile. For more mellow music there's Grandaddy.

I noticed that the "Alternative" stations are really going downhill. They're still stuck in 2000 with all the bands that got big around then. They've turned away from being alternative in a general way to just pumping the Metallica, System of a Down, Linkin Park stuff 24/7. I usually just listen to sports radio - the ESPN stations usually have good stuff and Dan Patrick is great to listen to.

For those that like indie music like Pavement, Cat Power, and emo bands you should check out SomaFM's station IndiePop Rocks. It's a free internet station at www.somafm.com. They have superb music and just the occasional station identification. I've found a ton of new bands through them like The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up.

I'm not saying they got big, but the music they churned out at the time was imitated and is still given air time. Although you could say they achieved a second round of popularity around then.

Anyways, Yahoo's create your own radio station is surprisingly good. I'd never pay for it but as it is I find it has a decent selection of music I like and new to me bands that are similar. Epitonic also has a large selection of music that you can play for free.

I hate metal, nu-metal, and most post-punk. Just noise where as most indie rock is pretty damn good to listen to plus it doesn't hurt your ears and has artistic talent.

Where I work I'm the oldest one there. The kids always have the radio on, always the same "let's play what the kids need to buy" station and Coldplay is one of the bands that comes along every hour. I can't say I'm impressed...

Another worrying trend I noticed is that producers take an old time favourite of mine and turn it into something... something... well, something something (I shot my baby down, California Dreamin') and turn it into a hit! We live in dark times...

On a happier note, all the times I went to the Lowlands festival I managed to miss all the "great" bands (White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver to name a few) and see all the "small" bands that will never be big, like Calexico.

But this year I'm definitely going to see the Pixies!

And in 1 1/2 week I'm going to see Elvis Costello! For the first time in 23 years! Life is good

if coldplay is all you can recommend, then I'll stick with being old.

I'm listening to the white stripes right now. Only because I got them in my head because the other thread. One of the few new bands I like (and I only like a few of their songs).

I'll stick with 80's and 90's music I think. Just last month I was listening to one of my old bootleg audiocassettes. It was of a metal massacre album (compilation album). I haven't heard it in so long, it's like hearing new music . I really like some of that underground stuff.
