my lord, you people suck!

ani difranco? I can appreciate her uber lesbian, hairy-arm-pitted angst, but her music? :p :p

I simply don't understand the whole underground music thing. To me, if it was that good, it wouldn't be underground. You people are trying so hard to be eccentric, that you all end up being exactly the same.

I'm Kid Afrika. Thank you for your support.

Well, I don't know about other people coughcoughMayNERDcoughcough but i don't seek out underground music. I just happen upon some music by accident and/or recommendation.

The same thing with independent / obscure movies.For example, one of my favourite movies is an indie called Swimming with Sharks (Kevin Spacey) that I came across by accident.

Everything is not what it sometimes seems, Mistar Hip Gangsta Tupac :moonie:

I seek out underground music not to be different but because I want to hear something different from everything else thats on the radio. Doesn't the top 40 mainstream bore you after awhile? That goes for underground hip-hop as well like Jurrassic 5, Mos Def, etc... I don't even know if you could even consider them underground at this point, but at one point they were and I don't now not enjoy their music any less now that its mainstream.

Its not mainstream vs. underground, its about variety and the desire to hear new music.

See, Kid, some of do not wait to get into a band/artist until people say it is ok. Just about every song that is big now is from an artist that at oine time was cutting edge or underground to coin the phrase. Sure, there is alot of shit out there that is fabricated just by record companies and their target groups, but, most bands started somewhere.

I am looking foward to the new KoRn disc on March 5th and I still remember ten years ago when people were like "wtf ar you listening to?" I recall a certain "underground" band opening for Ozzy when I went to my first concert. Alot of people were just wondering who the fuck they were because most haven't heard of them yet.

That band was called Metallica or some shit.

Nuff said.

Does anyone know if Warrant is coming out with a new disc soon? I haven't gotten my indie newsletter yet, and I am dyin' to know uicide:<font color=white>

Sean makes a good point, most of these mainstream bands were underground at one time. There are two types of music fans, passive and active. The passive music fans simply accepts what is doled out to them, active music fans actively seek out new music and like to discover new bands to expand their musical horizons.

A lazy music fan, way to break dem stereotypes Kid.

Well up until now, I actually valued some of the opinions that you had. But for you to make a statement like that truly bothers me. Music is everything to me. You will never know how integrated it is into my life, what it means to me, or how much I have also done to promote music. For you to make a statement like that just shows that you really have no fucking clue about people.


Good day Sir!

I didn't see this reply til now, because I was making a new post...

For you to make a reply like that only means that you don't get 'teh funney.' I know you are really into music. I know how much it means to you. I know I know I know. I don't even know why I bother trying to intreract with your paranoid, sensitive ass..... ughhh uicide:

Anyway...For all the U2 fans out there...

Alanis - EXCLUSIVE BONUS VIDEO!!! (San Diego Pre-show) - Plus Audio (Hands Clean + A Man) and Video (Hands Clean)

Requires Real Audio or Windows Media Player


Cracker - Forever Jan 29, 2002. The initial copies are a limited Release with an additional cd of 11 previously unreleased live tracks from a live show recorded @ The Metro in Cleveland for Chicago's 93WXRT Radio Station. The last track is "Pictures of Matchstick Men' from Lowery's former 80's band, Camper Van Beethoven. For those who remember, or will admit to remembering the Stern 'Private Parts' Soundtrack, Ozzy covered that song.

i am not interested in a single band in this thread.

Didn't feel like starting a new thread for this so here it is....

I love Alanis, Tori, Sarah McLachlan, Fiona etc., but I've never heard any Ani songs. I've read some of her lyrics and they seem good, can anyone reccomend a few songs I can download etc. or one of her better CDs so I can get a better idea of her sound?

Todd Snider - New Connection - May 11th 2002

<center>Long Year
Happy to be here

I came in off a dead end street
Walked in slow and took a back row seat
I knew I had nothing new to say
So many people looked so burned out
I couldn't help feeling bad about just having to be there anyway

A friend of a friend from work came in
I never had known what to make of him
He'd always seemed to be so insincere to me
You know I've always been afraid of a 12 step crowd
They laugh too much and talk too loud
Like they all know where everyone should be

It's been a long long long year
It's been a long long long year
How did I get here?

They were talking in a circle, I was by myself
Everyone was telling everyone how they felt
It felt like so long since I'd been young
As the circle kept moving its way to the back
I was wondering what I was gonna say in fact
I still didn't know as it rolled off my tongue

It's been a long long long year
It's been a long long long year
How did I get here?

I didn't say a word all the way to the car
But a little later on that night at the bar
I was telling everybody how strange my day had been
They said brother all you need is another shot
So I threw one down and said thanks a lot
As I thought to myself well here we go again

It's been a long long long year
It's been a long long long year
How did I get here?</center>
