The World Of Music

From wikipedia.com Olivier Messiaen (French pronunciation: [mɛsjɑ̃] ; December 10, 1908 – April 27, 1992) was a French composer, organist, and ornithologist. He entered the Paris Conservatoire at the age of 11 and numbered Paul Dukas, Maurice Emmanuel, Charles-Marie Widor and Marcel Dupré among his teachers. He was appointed organist at the church of La Trinité in Paris in 1931, a post he held until his death. On the fall of France in 1940 Messiaen was made a prisoner of war, and while incarcerated he composed his Quatuor pour la fin du temps ("Quartet for the end of time") for the four available instruments, piano, violin, cello, and clarinet. The piece was first perf…

Has anyone heard that the Shiny Toy Guns are on tour with the All American Rejects??? I really wanna go, has anyone seen either of them live?

Liverpool-based LIPA Records has previously released compilations curated by Fran Healy of Travis and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. This year the label goes it alone with an eclectic collection of unsigned talent based in England's North West, but originating from as far afield as Norway, the USA, Ireland and Japan, covering genres from rock and pop to folk and country. Click the image to visit the label's Myspace page for more info on “Shuffle.Play.Repeat”, available on iTunes from 19th May. The label's first release featured an early demo from the then little-known band The Wombats, so who will you discover this time round? Have a listen and let us know your faves!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Majik Monkey Majik is a Japanese band composed of two Canadian brothers, Maynard and Blaise Plant, who both perform vocals and guitar, drummer tax and bassist DICK. The band is sometimes referred to as a "hybrid-band", as half of the members are foreigners and the lyrics are sung in both English and Japanese. this is one of my favorite song http://www.imeem.com/people/afXXJv/music/HY_x5zPt/monkey-majik-pretty-people/ its called pretty people [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK_G4MrvbaI]YouTube - Pretty People/MONKEY MAJIK[/ame] :smug::);):D

This isn't a thread about the controversy surrounding the statement he made many years ago. This is a thread on his music...purely his music. So anybody picked up the new album yet? It's called Roadsinger, and it just came out two days ago. I got it, and I really like it - it's similar to the kind of music he was doing in his classic albums (Teaser and The Firecat, Tea For The Tillerman, etc.) It's a great album. My favorite album is probably Mona Bone Jakon, though. Love that album. :)

What are your favourites and why? Todd Rungren A Wizard A True Star, just looking at it made me want to listen to it, crazy artwork. Hauf/Heim creeps me out, so I love it :P

Hmm... where do I start? In Rainbows has been one of the most important albums to me, not to mentioned probably one of my top 3, if not most listened to album ever! I dunno what it is about it but I feel that it's just a great album as a whole and even after I've listened to it 200+ times within the past year an 1/2 I'm still not tired of it at all. I would like to just talk what the experience was for me around this time, so lets go back in time to roughly September 30th, 2007. At this time Radiohead were posting a bit more regularaly on DAS. We had gotten some worm buffet codes saying things like "Blink Your Eyes, One for Yes, Two For No", and more importantly "…

why the fuck is it that all most everyone hates Creed? why? just because Scott Stapps voice sounds like Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam? big fucking whoop. they have some sweet ass songs, as in One Last Breath and My Sacrifice.

They are FUNKAAAAY!!! :D

I really like The Queen is Dead but never got around to listening to other albums The Smiths have released. So your task is to recommend me a few songs from one studio album and make me crazy about it. :wacko:

I noticed somebody talking about this band in a music recommendation thread and decided to check them out ... so far I only have 'The Heartbeat EP', unfortunately I haven't had time to go to the store but I want to buy their album. Anyway, they're really really good! The singer's voice is amazing, and the general sound is like Radiohead/Muse ish. So I'm sure pretty much everyone here would love them ... so yeah check them out.

On their latest album Metric's lead singer Emily Haine asks us the question "Who Would You Rather Be, The Beatles or the Rolling Stones??". now in the context of the song its not asking which band do u prefer listening to, rather which band would u like to have been a part of. actually she's not asking either question but for the sake of this thread lets assume she is. i can't decide which i would prefer. its pretty much the most influential band of all time vs the biggest band of all time.

Take a look at this album cover, when you see it, what comes to your mind? Do you know about this album? When was it created? June 1997, Radioheas has released their third LP, and critics began to praise them, most of them agree that it is one of the best albums of the 90's, and some others say one of the best albums ever created. In that time, Radiohead became the biggest band in the world. But what's so special about it? Just look at the cover, it is a sober cover indeed, but full of meaning and excellent music. This album touches perfection, with a matture band writing about deep stuff, and with musicians letting their musicianship run wild. You can hear a develop…

Ah, Amnesiac - in my opinion the coolest Radiohead album by far. Released in June 2001, it has at times been labeled Kid A's jazzier twin. It's also been condescendingly referred to as a collection of out-takes from the Kid A sessions, but Thom himself declares this untrue: "The gnostics believe when we are born we are forced to forget where we have come from in order to deal with the trauma of arriving in this life. i thought this was really fascinating. its like the river of forgetfulness. it may have been recorded at same time as Kid A but it comes from a different place i think. i used to listen to it on my laptop on tour supposedly trying to find a running order b…

Okay, first I need to say a few words. Sorry for the 'lateness' of this thread, I've been a bit busy. Also I am sorry if some facts I wrote are not correct, in that case please tell me so I can edit my post. I don't know about Radiohead as much as some of you do. So I feel free to admit that a few sentences were copy-paste but I REALLY tried to make this personal. MY IRON LUNG EP For some countries in the late 1994 and for some early 1995 (For UK it was 31st January! I was born on the exact same day. :D), My Iron Lung EP was released. Here's a list of songs on the EP: My Iron Lung The Trickster Lewis (Mistreated) Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong Permanent Dayl…

Would anyone happen to have any clue of where I could go to download bsides from Oasis and the Verve. I know asking this on those band's messageboards would make more sense, but since I'm already registered here, I thought why not ask. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. PS - Is Rapidshare complete shit on anyone else's computer? I'm having trouble downloading anything from there.

i can't understand all the hype around this band,honestly they are nothing special in my opinion. but they'll open the upcoming summer gigs for oasis,they are praised by several magazines, what's the deal ? i think its not about the music......

this has been a very very big issue for me over the last 2 or 3 years as i discover more and more great new music. i've lost count of the number of people who have said to me "music nowadays sucks" or "man i wish music was like it was back in the 70s or 80s" or sometimes "everyone just sounds the same". now part of me does agree with them. when i listen to the great albums from the 70s and even earlier i am absolutely blown away by how amazing they are. but what people forget is all the shit that was also around at the time, people view that era of music with rose-tinted glasses (only see what they want to see). if your only memories of the 60s are the beatles, rolling st…

Is there anyone who likes this band? I love Polarkreis 18 ( a German band), but, in Spain, they aren't famous and I don't find a website where I can download their music...Someone could help me? But at all I'd like to know if you like this band and share with you our likes :P:D:lol::) Thank you!!;):D:P

I am trying to put together a list of the most catchy tunes in the world. The music can be in any language (music is beyond language...) of any genre (rock, pop, folk, reggae, rap, jazz, tribal, classical -anything at all..
