There probably is one somewhere, but I can't seem to find a U2 thread anywhere. :stunned: There's actually a link to one in the band thread index sticky, but either the link is dead or the thread got deleted. :thinking: Anyway, so discuss U2 here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=838dPcVq0c4 :heart: :heart: :heart:

New music written by Mozart found in library after being 'entirely forgotten' for centuries By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 8:38 AM on 19th September 2008 Comments (1) Add to My Stories A piece of music by Mozart which was 'lost' for 100 years has turned up in a French library.

The prize and the accompanying £20,000 cheque have been presented annually since 1992, when they were given to Primal Scream for Screamadelica. Radiohead gained considerable attention last year by announcing their album, In Rainbows, would be available initially online, with fans paying what they wanted to download…

there's no thread about them yet? can't believe it. all i can say is that i am so impressed with conor oberst's solo work. has anyone seen him in concert with the mystic valley band yet? they're currently touring and playing a gig i could attend in september. the only thing is that i'm friggin broke. :( my favourites off his album "conor oberst" so far are... "milk thistle", "eagle on a pole", "nyc gone, gone" and "moab". but in conclusion the album is a wonderful piece of music.

http://theoffkey.blogspot.com/ His first album is explicit, but rest is folky... its crazy stuff. enjoy Marijuana lipstick is his hate hippie song....

http://www.myspace.com/dignan I really like them.

Musical tastes and personality type are closely related, according to a study of more than 36,000 people from around the world. The research, which was carried out by Professor Adrian North of Heriot-Watt University, is said to be the largest such study ever undertaken. It suggested classical music fans were shy, while heavy metal aficionados were gentle and at ease with themselves. Professor North described the research as "significant" and "surprising". He said: "We have always suspected a link between music taste and personality. This is the first time that we've been able to look at it in real detail. No-one has ever done this on this scale before." Ple…

Electric Touch - One of my 2 favorite bands at Lollapalooza and now on tour with The Fratellis. Their single "Love In Our Hearts" is so damn catchy - and their album just came out last week - so its worth checking out. The lead singer from England (london?) and the guys from austin tx are a great combination. Electric (e-lec-tric) - adjective; thrilling, exciting, stirring Touch (tuh-ch) - verb; to affect with feeling or emotion Stick an Englishman in a band with three true blue Texans and you're bound to come up with something pretty damn original. Electric Touch wowed crowds at SXSW, Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza and are booked to appear at Monoli…

One of my best friends, Brian, moved out to LA to pursue his dream a couple years ago. He now has financed recording an EP, basically by himself. He's now trying to get his music heard. He played Whisky A Go Go the other day in LA, and the Cat Club tonight. (I'm not from LA, but think those are a pretty big deal to play at). I'm really impressed with what he's done... and think if anybody in the biz ever gives him and the band a shot and maybe a record deal, they could be BIG. He's finally got his EP on ITunes... Check them out if you don't mind. He has always loved Red Hot Chili Peppers, and funk rock... so those influences are there in his music, but on one o…

Hi all I have just been told about this forum by Ginny113 and I hope you are a lot more friendly than the guys on the 'official' forum, who did nothing but give me loads of abuse :confused: . All I did was post in the 'other music' section (well, where else would I have put it??!. As we are Coldplay fans here, and {Satellite - State} have a similar 'feel', I would strongly recommend that you check them out @ http://www.myspace.com/satellitestatemusic Hope you like them as much as I do :) Helen P xx

Jack Johnson??? @ Irvine??

Something tells me this thread's not going to get a lot of lovin', but just in case I'm not the only old fart from Canada on here. Any fans? FAns of Canadian music in the 80s might know him, and I think he had some minor success in the UK too. He was an AMAZING piano player (Still is).

Electronics-laden post-rock* epicness from Sheffield. http://www.myspace.com/11488230 I'll post their albums in Other Bands Links if you're interested. *I don't like this term, as it automatically makes me think of Sigur Rós. These guys are totally different. Just as good too.

I'm not usually a Rihanna fan but this song rocks she's really surprised me with it, anyone else think the same?.
