It truly is a wonderful song :) I only realized I didn't have it when someone mentioned the song here. Thankfully they did mention it and Jake kindly uploaded it, been listening to it many times already. btw, a friend of mine asked me to make her a compilation cd of Muse songs, she'd like to get to know Muse better. I'd appreciate any sugggestions you musers might have as to which songs I'll put on the cd. She's more into heavier music, not a pop music type of person (whatever that might be lol) I thought I'd include at least New Born, Citizen Erased, Bliss, Hysteria, Showbiz and KoC, plus some other album trakcs and some b-sides too. Don't quite know what to choose, they have such a great collection of songs. Any suggestions?

Doves - Lost Souls

I started making my song list but didn't realize how difficult it would be.. so it might take a while but I'll get it finished (in the near future) :)

The Tears - Brave New Century

Con-science :heart: just have to say, I randomly went to see a thread (in another section) which was about some entirely different subject and surprise surprise, it soon turned into a Muse bashing thread.. I know I shouldn't really be bothered to get upset, but I did.. Earlier Muse was a band which was hardly mainstream and just strange I guess so it was very uncool to like them. Now they've apparently become hugely popular in the UK and Europe which of course is not cool, just another good reason to hate them. Oh well.. Luckily(?) in Finland they're neither cool nor popular, so I can continue appreciating their music in peace. Big minus is that since they're not popular here, makes it almost impossible for me to ever see them live, unless I win the lottery. And then there's the age issue, it's true that there are many 'new' Muse fans who are teenagers, but since I can hardly be counted into that age group (oh God I'm so old :dozey:), it's annoying that all Muse fans are labelled as being teenagers (wait.. what's wrong with being a teenager? you tell me..) Visiting more than one Muse forum I've noticed that many Muse fans are over 20, many are closer to 30 or older. It's true that there are people on every board who seem or/and act stupid and Muse boards (and this board) make no exception. So I guess I have to learn to live with that. Tough for me.. It must be frustrating to see that a band who once were seen as copycats have refused to take the easy road and instead went their own way and developed a style of their own. This has brought them new fans, which should be a good thing. Or ar least one would think so.. so this became an essay.. sorry but I just had to get that out of my system. if there's anyone who managed to read through or otherwise just skipped to the end.. Muse song of the day *drum roll* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QHRe7-zEjc perfection.

wow, that was quick! :stunned: Thank you so much Jake! :) (it's Jake, right?) *goes to listen*

just realized I'm missing (at least) 2 b-sides: Con-science and Jimmy Kane.. could anyone please upload? pretty please..? :angel:

another band I'd never heard of before.. :embarassed: I randomly picked a cd in a library and thought "why not, might as well give this a try" and now I've been listening to Leaders of the Free World and all I can say, I'm happy I picked that one :) it's a very good album. so this is their third album? can't wait to hear the other two.

Elbow - Station Approach

Muse - Darkshines (live)

The Mars Volta - Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)

The Mars Volta - Inertiatic Esp

yes he used to have those tantrums on stage.. talking about interviews, I remember reading or seeing one where he said that he stopped trashing the stage after the show, so I guess he DID grow up at some point and doesn't do that anymore.. and if I'm not wrong I think trashing the stage was something they did together after the show.. and I have no idea how often that happened.. I guess their excuse was that they had a 'bad show' or something like that.. at least I think it was often Matt and Chris trashing Dom's drumkit.. luckily they're all grown-up now (I think..!)

Tori Amos - Bliss

With The Beatles although Abbey Road is a very close second

I've just got to post this random quote I found Matt: Apparently men go into a cave when they get stressed and I think that's probably true, although, personally, I tend to let it out. I did have a bit of a tantrum in my hotel bathroom last night, but I managed to repair the toilet, so that's OK. I: You trashed a hotel toilet? Matt: Um sort of. Everyone does that, don't they? (Matt's rockstar tantrums - Melody Maker December 1999) :laugh3: Somehow I doubt he does that very often these days.. not sure he used to do that so often before either.. sure he used to trash his guitar after a show every now and then but for some reason I can't picture him trashing hotel rooms.. at least I think :thinking: :lol:

Pink Floyd - Time

Huge thanks for uploading :kiss: I also hadn't heard Burning Bandits earlier, not sure which version of the song I prefer now..

täällä on satanu koko tän päivän lunta :dance: :thinking: mun puolesta ois voinu oikeastaan sataa vasta joskus myöhemmin syksyllä mutta minkäs teet :D

Nick Drake - Time of No Reply

Without the internet, I'd probably be watching MTV too.. now I'm addicted to youtube, but I usually don't watch music videos, I prefer to watch videos from concerts, they're so much more real. There're so many great bands who don't get publicity they deserve if they don't make videos, whatever the reason. I stopped watching MTV, if I want to get to know some band, I first want to listen to their music and then if I'm interested, I'll try and search youtube for videos (from live performances, if possible). Since I live in a place where it's practically impossible to see any great bands live, internet is for me the only way to see bands and their videos, not MTV. But my answer to the topic's question would be yes. Sure there're plenty of excellent music videos, but I bet many of the videos that get airtime are from artists who don't even write their own music.

I've only seen couple of vids of them performing Debase Mason's Grog live, and although I like the album version a lot, the old one is even better. It's going to be interesting to hear the version on the KoC single.

Travis - Follow the Light

Franz Ferdinand - Come on Home

Muse - Map of the Problematique
