Nina Nastasia & Jim White - I Come After You
"A sober night would do you good"... sure, perhaps I'm reading into it a bit much because of my own current issues involving alcohol and drama, but honestly, this is one of the better closers to an album I've heard in a long time. You Follow Me is such a short (but passionate and fucking amazing) album to begin with, which makes finding a proper closing even more difficult. "I Come After You" closes it so beautifully, though, completely turning the vaguely obsessive nature of the album into something newa nd different.
A bunch/10, because I said so. What the fuck you gonna do about it?

Yeah, At The Drive-In is on my list of music to download, but as my hard drive was recently broken, I have to download all the songs I had on my computer, so new bands (that I haven't listened to before) aren't really first on the list. I hope I manage to pick ATDI up soon though.
Shpongle - Molecular Superstructure
Yet another incredible piece of music by Shpongle. Not my favorite track from them but it deserves a listen once in a while, because the basic tribalistic and psychedelic sound of Shpongle is always worthy of a listen. The flute in this song is also pretty damn cool.
8.5/10
Keep an eye on that forum down there (winknudge). After work today I'll get some up for you.
Because up until this post you haven't quite followed the rules of the thread.(Why do my posts in this topic keep getting deleted?)
Ah. Well I couldn't find them in the first post, sorry. I'll keep with the rules from now on though, thanks.

Really relaxing music after a short day of work, always enjoying this.
And Echo, about ATDI, I would really recommend of downloading it before you download the music you already had before your harddrive crashed, you won't regret it.

The Gift - Are You Near
These guys and girl are a portuguese synthpop band. They're really well known, although usually disliked here. The sound and especially the lyrics tend to be repetitive within one song, but this doesn't stop them from beeing catchy. This one has cool distorted vocals and refrain.

You make a good point here. I'll add the new rule to the OP.
yeah!!! do you like David Fonseca his songs are pretty simple but catchy. I like him!
Judas Priest - Painkiller
This is one of the songs you listen to and say 'wow, Judas Priest really pushed themselves on this one', it just gives out that feeling - the screaming, the incessant drumming and one of the best parts of the song, the drum solo. I'd give it a 9/10.
I dislike his voice, it gets annoying sometimes. Where are you is a pretty good example of this
I had a beer with these guys in the summer of 02. Their first album was nothing short of an Australian masterpiece.
np: Dr. Octagon - 3000
9/10
Probably the best hip-hop beat I've ever heard. I love the start of this song when the drums come in. Also some strangely awesome lyrics.
the purple bottle was my first ac song! the first half is adorably chipper, and the second half is just stunning.
sundowner - steal your words
ughhhhh <3. too beautiful. sundowner is chris mccaughan of the lawrence arms doing acoustic songs. this song is simply magical, and the cello (i think its a cello) gives it a little something extra. chris is an unbelievably good poet, which makes things even better.
i massacred the afternoon
to the sound of rain drumming against parked cars
i drenched myself in desperate colours for you
yeah, i was dripping for your sympathy
i wear this weakness on my sleeve
i'd like to put you on; i'd like to wear you out
9.5/10
Madvillain - Eye
There were a bunch of hip-hop beats played on Adult Swim circa 2003-2004 that I loved. I found most of them, but there were 3 or 4 (naturally they were my favorites) that I never found; I don't think I ever will. The beat for this song is the closest thing to those beats I know of--slightly Eastern-tinged, very haunting. One of the best hip-hop beats I can think of readily, even though it's wasted by what sounds like a generic female R&B singer.

Opeth - The Grand Conjuration
Take Morbid Angel-style death metal. Mix it with 70s organs (like Rick Wakeman, yes), eerie, Black Sabbath melodies, and a vocalist who can sound like he's the new David Gilmour and roar as if he was Satan himself. Not to mention, there are jazz/latin influenced drums, and numerous time changes and tempos. This is all packed into one 10-minute fest of music.
Congratulations, you have discovered one song in Opeth's discography. That was just the one. This song (and album, and band's discography) will completely SHATTER your notions about death metal. If ever metal came packed in spades of intelligence, this would be it.
