I would read these, but in my opinion music died when Michael Jackson turned white.

Your opinion is wrong.

I can't listen to hip hop anymore. I don't know why. Sometimes I feel like listening to old school stuff but I rarely do.  Don't know why. Used to love it. I've checked out Aesop Rock before.  You ever listen to Cannibal Ox?

Yeah I like Cannibal Ox, though I felt like their new album was a bit of a letdown. I don't like a lot of modern hip hop, though I'd suggest checking out milo and seeing if that does anything for you since he's really quite different and often closer to spoken word:

my brother played Macklemore for me the other day. I had never heard of him really before. It was a good video, but the music was terrible. That's how I feel about a lot of stuff.  Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky.  

Although, there will always be a part of me that craves a subwoofer in my car.  

To be fair macklemore is terrible.

yup.  I liked the video though, it made me laugh.  but... ug.  

Was it the scooter one?

I do read and listen to your music posts, but don't always comment. With metal I usually move in and out of it. I've been mostly listening to americana/folk/bluegrass music because it relaxes me. Other than that I've been listening to xenogears sound track because its stuck in my head, as well as the guilty gears ost because it got stuck in my head too. My favorite hip hop artist is DJ Shadow, although he mostly remixes tracks and they are slow and melodic and cool and thats what I like. 

 

Damn, DJ Shadow is awesome. Will have to look more into him. 

 I like the Guilty Gear music far mor than the games themselves. They're awesome!

That Xenoblade music was amazing until the vocals started. Was still fun but wasn't expecting it. Those lyrics are pretty cringey. Reminds me of old Linkin Park

DJ Shadow has been around for a long time. Very old school hip hop, rhyme drops over slow beats. Very chill. 

I liked the latest Guilty Gear game. It felt like very Souls-like in terms of combat depth, compared to most fighting games which feel simpler.

I like the Mass Effect-like parts of the sound track in xeno. The vocals are very anime. The party member also shout out very cringy things as they battle. Anime. It is what it is.  

I too appreciate these blogs about music. Always great to hear about new stuff, since there's just SO much out there today. I mean, it's impossible to find everything that's good.

I've recently gotten into The Dear Hunter, which isn't metal in the slightest, but the compositions done by Casey Crescenzo are really impressive. Also, their stuff is all over the board (see below for some samples). I don't even know that they conform to some sort of genre, but goddamn, do I dig them.

First song I immediately thought of Mr Bungle or Stolen Babies, but after that they did like indie folk, blues, and god knows what else. And interesting listen, and I'll definitely be checking out more.

I listen to the most craziest wide spectrum range of genre's. I have been listening to less metal as well, but like I said, my range of music is as crazy has a triple rainbow in a raging storm. 

I have Been listening to

Kerli-Diamond Hard &  Blossom

Ruth B-Lost Boy

Epica-Requiem for the Indifferent

Ingrid Michealson-Hell No

Five Finger Death Punch-Got Your Six

I can't link videos since I'm using my phone.

I always read your music blogs and enjoy them. I may not always comment though. I should post some of what I've picked up lately but too lazy.

I'm listening to 60s prog rock this month, but on Monday I start in on 70s Metal. I've been collecting albums, both CD and vinyl, and ripping them for a playlist all this week in preparation. I wish I could find more Budgie albums. I have one but nothing else.

I'm always down with music blogs because there could be something that I might like and add to the music library. As for what I'm listening to, I'm still going through my library looking for those hidden tracks that I might have missed and need to be on a playlist.
