[Jorge]

Tomahawk - God Hates a Coward

this reminds me a little bit of faith no more

not sure if I should laugh

why?


ha--I just looked up the band. Well, that explains it.

[Heathen]

I should have laughed.

[stip]

Sidsel Endresen - Western Wind

I think i would have preferred this as the final track on your mix. I could see really liking this if there was some time invested in creating the space and mood it needs, but just walking into it cold it doesn't quite get there.

[stip]

Queens of the stone age - the fun machine took a shit and died

one of the better QOTSA age songs i've heard. The bridge is kind of annoying, though

Actually maybe I spoke too soon. I was pretty anxious for it to be over by the end.

My last pick won't require any warm-up.

[stip]

Clipse - Virginia

not my thing

[stip]

Lali Puna- "Faking the Books"

this reminds me a little bit of faith no more

[stip]

Lali Puna- "Faking the Books"

actually this was really nice. Hypnotic and soothing with an electric beauty

[stip]

Mogwai - I Love You, I'm Going to Blow Up Your School



best song title ever

this got pretty good by the end, but long sludgey instrumentals aren't really for me.

[Farmer John]

TV On The Radio - Love Dog

[stip]

I wasn't sure if I had to make two picks. Upon checking the OP, it appears I do. Here's my second one.

Jesu- "Silver"

I feel like this is the indie version of the mogwai song I just listened to.

[stip]

i missed some posts, apparently. FJ, what was your 8th round pick?

Soulsavers - Revival

[stip]

We haven't seen enough of the beautiful side of Tom Waits:




Tom Waits - Long Way Home

[stip]

Yeah, so thanks to Toxic and Johnny Cash, there's not a chance I'm winning this, so now I'm just pleasing myself.

The amount of times I have drunkenly screeched with Tom DeLonge when he bursts in with his absurd pop punk voice... "WEH AH YEW?"



Blink 182 - I Miss You

So I started this fully expecting to hate it. Then I thought 'hey the music is pretty good'. Then the vocals started and I remembered why blink 182 was blink 182

[stip]

Pick #9

Wolfmother - White Unicorn

despite liking led zeppelin I've never been able to get into any of the bands that want to be led zeppelin

[ABNorman]

You got there.

[stip]

Come at me haters. Girl can fucking sing and my 5 year old adores her.

that was pretty, but kinda featureless.
