Jolt Country

Share yours as well!

- Candystripe by Beaver (I keep this around to remind myself that I need to finish it. Any aspiring guitarists want to give this one a go? I know there are websites that you can go to that help you collaborate on a song.)

- Mae - Futuro (Live). Ohhh Mae, why is the name of your band so horrible?

- Cute Is What We Aim For: Rotation (full album). I think this may be not as good as their previous album.

- The Fountain: Soundtrack (full album). The best soundtrack ever?!?!?

- The Format - The First Single. Here is another band that made two records and then couldn't hammer things out once they received a modicum of success.

- idobi radio .pls file. This is the pop punk station. Why the FUCK do they include Dashboard Confessional? They are my most-hated "band" of all time. Everything, from the name of the "band" to the fact that every fucking one of their songs is a pathetic whine-fest, irritates me.

- Bakelite: A House is a Machine For Living (full album). I licensed a song off this album for CZK!

- Craig's Brother: Some EP I can't remember the name of (full album). They are still together, but I can tell already that as soon as they make another album, they will split up.

- Santuary Radio.pls.

- Mae - Suspension (remix). The remix is far superior to the real song.

Never use it anymore, IPOD man, get with the times. And, due to use of IPOD vs WinAmp, I just listen to everything, including podcasted prayers begging for my return to Jolt Country....

Yes. But! I get all my music through the computer, and I would have to download it to the MP3 player to listen to it using that method. That being said, I think I am going to get the cassette-looking MP3 player in the other thread, because it does get a little tiring lugging all those CDs around.

I am especially bitter because the CD player in my old Neon was damaging discs. It couldn't play burned ones, and it damaged properly-purchased ones. I'm sure the RIAA would like to have it in the Smithsonian. But now, all the music I listened to at the end of 2004 is forever tainted by skipping and cracking and otherwise being shitty. (And since a lot of it is "pop punk," it already has several major, glaring, weaknesses.)

I still can't get my ipod to scrobble, which leaves my last.fm page a giant war between the only two bands I apparently listen to, the Screeching Weasels and Jawbreaker.

I never really did playlists either. I like listening to albums full and proper, however that might just be fallout from my parents getting divorced when I was young.

irst and foremost... when I was younger we couldn't afford to purchase all that many albums, 'cause we were po'. That, and I discovered to my dismay once I purchased my own cds that the majority of full albums suck IE Pavement - Crooked Rain (purchased for "cut your hair"). Setting a rule that no cd purchases would take place unless I was certain that I liked at least 2 songs on it. Then came Napster. 11 GB later.....

There are a few albums I'll listen to start to finish, I have music ADD or something. Though some worthy of listening to start to finish include:

Jimmy Eat World - Jimmy Eat World
REM - Green
REM - Document
Everclear - So Much for The Afterglow
Billy Joel - An Innocent Man

My IPOD list is just crazy though

But now, all the music I listened to at the end of 2004 is forever tainted by skipping and cracking

So having it on a cassette is rather fitting.
I gave away all my music tapes but for some inexplicable reason still have the tape players lounging about in the old hardware purgatory known as the attic.

I still can't get my ipod to scrobble

What is that? Shuffle mode?

There are some albums that MUST be listened to in their entirety. Maybe as a separate thread I will start a LIST!

Jesus I owned that Pavement album too, what a pile of crap THANKS FOR NOTHING WBER. Nada Serf's album or other songs (dont remember if they actually put out an album)blew as well but I was happy to discover that 13-14 years later they apparently continued making music all this time. I liked the newest song I heard from them, so maybe there is hope for Pavement as well.

So much for the Afterglow had great songs on it, I still throw "white men in the black suits" on mix cds once in a great while. I am embarassed to say when I was 5 I enjoyed Billy Joels "An Innocent Man" :( insert child molestation joke .... here=

Apparently my music tastes are very different from most everyone else's.

You were more into Beaver's first album?

It's when your upload what you've listened to on to www.last.fm the point being that someone reads it and finally loves you.

Nah, it's just that it boggles my mind how someone can call Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain "crap."

I do not think I have encountered this "Pavement." hmm, yes, I believe I shall dash off to the tubes.

I have played them for you, you hated them

They also had a song on the Born To Choose compilation album from the 90's that I liked, on the sole Premise that the last line of them singing is "AND THERE STANDS REM". But that does not a good band make...

Pavement is like 4 parts Ben folds five, 2 parts They Might Be Giants, 3 parts random drugs, and 1 part total suckiness mixed coursely and baked to perfection.
Perfection of what I'm not sure.
But they are definitely baked.

Here's a video of Pavement on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast some years ago

I did not hate that. I don't know what Knuckles is talking about.

Jerkoff, I used to play all kind of music for you when you only listend to Hall & Oates, YES and Yes featuring Daryl Hall. You hated it, I think when I played Superdrag for you, you came around cause they had a vampire or werewolf song.

My favorite right now, I like the Shins, like them robb



not the actual video some loser took it.

NOBODY has spent more time singing "Sucked Out" in their car (after the sun has gone down)(I don't want to be stared at) than me. NO-ONE.

"WHO SUCKED OUT THE FEEEEEEEEEEELIN!!!!" -- me, ALL THE TIME

And yes, Do the Vampire remains an excellent song, almost one of the 100 best of all-time. Sold You An Alibi *is* one of the 100 greatest songs ever written.
