if you're going to in commerce Nov.3 - ?? for the holiday tournaments you can sample my collection of mp3's

[daveymck]

Posting some UK stuff that probably havent heard of.

If you like Moby then try Prodigy and Fat Boy Slim.

Radiohead - If its their earlier stuff you like try Muse, Therapy and Placebo.

For some more left field UK rock music try New Model Army and the Levellers.

Some up and coming rock bands (UK is going back to the 70's at the minute) The Zutons, The Libertines, The Killers or take a look at NME Chart (http://mtv2europe.com/mtv2europe.com/nmeChart.jhtml) and also the voting page has a lot of bands on there, if you like guitar based rock/punk (70's style punk not Green Day pop punk type) its worth trying a few out.

[TylerD]

Here are some of the artists on my "chilling" playlist that I like to listen to when I need to calm down after a bad beat or poor run of cards:

- Air - the most chilled out band you'll ever find. Moon Safari is by far their best album.
- Moby
- Smashing Pumpkins - some really mellow tunes on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
- Groove Armada - I think the track's called To the River; very chilled out.
- R.E.M.
- Flaming Lips

If I need to get pumped up then I like to listen to:

- Foo Fighters
- Transplants
- Blink 182
- Prodigy
- FatboySlim
- Green Day

For good old fashioned, but new, guitar music I would go with:

- The Killers
- The Libertines
- Embrace
- Razorlight

I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them at the moment.

If I were to pick three albums for you to buy they would be:

Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Air - Moon Safari
The Killers - Hot Fuss.

[ihaterivers]

Just now getting introduced to mp3's? Where on earth have you been young man?

[Tosh]

I think it just depends on what music you like. Personally I like listening to Green Day when playing poker.

[thirddan]

your list of aggro music mades me giggle...

ive been listening to some nightwish/epica for the more mellow times, but if you want to kick up the aggression try some sepultura or meshuggah, you won't be able to stop clicking the raise button...

[stigmata]

More UK music that seems to fit with your tastes:

Turin Brakes (First album "The Optomist LP" is the best) & Damien Rice (check out Volcanoes single) are good for chilled out, tuneful & intelligent folk-pop (don't let the folk bit put you off).

Manic Street Preachers new album is meant to be good, but I havent heard it myself. Their older albums are definately worth a listen and are more aggressive.

If you havent got all the radiohead albums, keep listening, cos they are all A++ finest quality (Although that last comment could start an argument with the die-hards slagging off the newer stuff).

Nightwish are cool, that Epica Album is pretty good as well, in that vein try Lacuna Coil, Beseech, After Forever.

Early Sepultura they got rubbish quick and never saw the attraction of Meshugga but they are known as a difficult listen.

The Manics always said they would break up after their first album, they should have done, the last couple of radio pop rock is a disgrace to their early work.

[Mike Haven]

three albums for you to buy

i'm sure buying is the way it should be done, but WinMX (http://www.winmx.com/) let's you download just about anything you can think of for free

[spamuell]

Manic Street Preachers new album is meant to be good, but I havent heard it myself.

I don't think Lifeblood is out until 1st November.

If I'm relaxed, I listen to The Cure when I play. Generally, I won't listen to anything though as I want to concentrate.

Jason, you missed out Ferry Corsten... Otherwise, that's a very nice list.

I'd recommend anything Brian Eno too - his work is so soothing. I listen to it when I am writing, kind of gets you in the zone. Perhaps that could work with poker too.

Mid teens I was into southern rock/hard rock until I saw my first X show at City Gardens Trenton,NJ in 1981 or so..cant rember exactly.At the time LosAngeles/NYC/Minniapolis/Athens GA. was pumping out great music.I moved to Phoenix in mid 80's and saw all the great punk bands of the 80's from LA and elsewhere..At the time Phoenix had a burgeoning hardcore scene JFA(Judy Foster's Army)Green on Red/Meat Puppets/Giant Sand
from Tucson.
Phoenix was a great place to see music in the eighties because all the OC/LA bands would tour AZ. to make money..these were good bands ie MIA,Sacharine Trust,Los Lobos,Steve Wynn/Dream Syndicate,Battalion of Saints,Long Riders,Black Flag,Circle Jerks...muchu energy and drunkeness and fun!



I still listen to punk but listen to more Dub and mellower roots Americana kinda stuff...

peace

Get Aenima and Lateralus, too. Oh, and Tool's lead singer is involved in another band I haven't listened to, but have been meaning to check out. Perfect Circle, I think. Could be worth a listen.

[sammy_g]

OK, good start. Now keep the Radiohead and throw all that other stuff away. Then get your hands on

The Beatles (Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, White Album, Abbey Road)
James Brown (Live at the Apollo, Star Time Box Set)
The Clash (The Clash, London Calling)

Enjoy.

[Bubu]

Cynic Project and Astral projection are two different groups.
Cynic project is a young american dj, while astral are two older Israeli dj's - classic stuff. If you like astral you should definetely try Infected Mushroom. v good stuff.

nice choices ;-) .

Sorry. It's just a pet peeve of mine when people call it theft because it's inaccurate and it's a loaded word.

If I steal some money from you, you no longer have that money.

If I make a copy of some music you recorded, I haven't taken any possession from you. I've made an illegal copy.

One is theft, and the other is copyright infringement. Again, I'm not saying it's right, but it is different.

PLEASE DONT HIJACK MY THREAD

it is a friendly low key zoo pondering on music.

[cornell2005]

I love all that old stuff. London Calling is one of my favorite albums.

I also like the Rolling Stones from those days, and other Brits like XTC and Gang of Four.

And NIN, lots of jazz and classical and real old blues, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, Jim Croce...mostly old-ish stuff. Don't keep up on music lately, and never got into rap or hip-hop. Seems too one-note and predictable to me.

I still like Tom Petty a helluva lot.

I do remember seeing X a couple times in L.A. Love those guys. Great shows. I remember one time the security people at a show at an X show kept on fidgeting and talking to John Doe every chance they could, and telling the audience to move back. Why? Just to be jerks, really. Nobody was really very rowdy, at least not up front. Finally John Doe got fed up with it and said, arching up his eyebrows, "Security is saying the barriers might collapse...but I don't think the STAGE will collapse!" Then we were all howling and crunched up against the stage, security gave up, and we were probably all wondering if Exene or however you spell her name was gonna barf on us. Good times, much shoving, jumping up and down like a fool, and overall fun was had.

There's no reason you haven't added Pinback or Minus The Bear to this list yet. Get on that!

[scrub]

I haven't read the thread, but if you like Radiohead, the first Sigur Ros album (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005IC2H/ref=pd_bxgy_text_1/002-1001853-6594407?v=glance&s=music&st=*#product-details) is one of my favorites for multitabling.

Also, the first Something Corporate album sounds like something between Ben Folds and a musical, but with better lyrics. If you listen to Rent while you play, you might get a kick out of it...

scrub

[bdk3clash]

I would urge everyone to check out both Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre, as well as the documentary "Dig," which is out in some theaters and airs on Sundance in a week or so.

Brian Jonestown Massacre has all their albums available for download on their web site. (http://www.brianjonestownmassacre.com/mp3.php)

[IndieMatty]

Oh and Broken Social Scene.
