Build a Better Music Collection - Page 4

**CosmicPal** · 04-11-2007, 01:28 PM

I got a Zune a couple of weeks ago and burned all my CD's and downloaded just about everything I can think of to my Zune....I still have 5.45 GB free and I want to fill it with even more music.

But, as it is, I'm out of ideas. So, here's your chance to help Cosmic build a better music collection.

I embrace the following genres: Alternative/College, Bluegrass, Classic Rock, Funk, Jam/Improvisational, Jazz, Psychedelic, and Singer/Songwriter.

Absolutely NO interest in Rap, Country, or Metal.

I do have an eclectic taste for music including interests in: The Clash, Pixies, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Tom Waits, The Grateful Dead, Cracker, Sufjan Stevens, Mazzy Star, Neil Young, etc.

So, I need some ideas for some great albums you suggest I download to my Zune. You will need to provide the following:

1. The name of the artist and the album.
2. Why you like it.
3. And why you think I would enjoy it.

Should I choose to download your suggestion, I will give you a rep and call your mom to let her know she raised a decent person in this world. OK, so maybe I won't give you rep.

Anyways....let the suggestions begin.

You're not on ignore, my friend. I'm just looking for something different...sorry.

Oh...I really did like the Black Angels, BTW. I want to hear more.

Here's Madina Lake's album - The Disappearance of Adalia.

Enjoy.

No problem,as for the college/alternative though I'd really suggest checking out Black Rebel Motorcycle Club a little further.

See what you think of these

Split Lip Rayfield - Should Have Seen It Coming (2004)

Split Lip Rayfield play a souped-up blend of bluegrass, old-time, and cow punk, and they flat tear it up. Their motto is speed and more speed, a goal that demands a measure of dexterity from this east Kansas trio on banjo, acoustic guitar, and "Stitchgiver" (a jimmy-rigged pickup gas tank with Weedwhacker string).

SLR, with their banjo, acoustic guitar, and stand-up bass attack have been wowing the folks around the Wichita and Lawrence area for years. This 3-piece acoustic outfit somehow manages to sound like an earthquake, with its lightning quick playing (but quality is NOT substituted for speed) and romps about cars, trucks, pinball, girls, and coffee."

I reviewed an album by these guys for our college radio station when I was in grad school. They're definitely cool and remind me of the band Big Smith that I mentioned earlier in the thread. Big Smith are like the good old hillbillies that rn a still, but show up in church on Sunday. Split Lip is their hell-raising cousin that moved out of the mountains and into the trailer park.

Thanks for the mention- they are one wild band, that's for certain. Some friends of mine turned me on to them when they saw them play at the festival in Winfield, KS.

Nzoner-

The Black Angels album "Passover" is far out, man! Just like some reviewer said, "If Jim Morrison had ever gotten depressed and started a pyschedelic hard-rock/blues band, then the result might sound something like Black Angels"

Ironically, Morrison, in some cases was depressed and the Doors were in most cases, a psychedelic blues/rock band- but nonetheless, if the Doors were jamming today, they would probably sound like the Black Angels.

I've been giving "Passover" a whirl the past hour and really like it. Its now on my Zune!
