That's what I'm talkin about. Fucking love the Presets. Actually, the only band there I don't like is She Wants Revenge. Saw them open for Placebo a couple years ago, but they don't really do it for me. Haven't heard The Good Life, will check it out.

For me lately, I've been listening to:

MJ
Berlin
PSB
Big Drill Car
Samiam
Girl Talk
Imogen Heap
Chromeo
Cars
Passion Pit
Empire Of The Sun
Pnau
Cut Copy
Ladyhawke
Presets
Goldfrapp
Social Distortion
Hellacopters
Phoenix..

Chromeo is awesome. Picked up the new Tiga recently. Good stuff. Also a ton of Cut Copy remixes. The Good Life is a side project of Tim Kasher from Cursive. A bit twangy at times, but full of emotion.

Right now my playlist is bands:

Echo and The Bunnymen
Scott Walker
Dexter Romweber
Army Navy
Noisettes
Billy Idol
Tiger Army
The Ghroovie Ghoulies

dreamattack27 on Wed Jul 22, 2009 1:25 pm

Right on, I'll check it out. Saw Chromeo in concert at Lollapalooza last year, they fuckin great. Still debating on whether to go this year, so many good bands but not sure I can swing it so soon after SDCC. TBD.

Man I dj an 80s weekly here in Phoenix. It's like going to Prom every week. Echo and the Bunnymen's the Cutter and Killing Moon are two my all time favorite tunes. I used to also play the best of Tears for Fears every Sunday morning followed by Radiohead's The Bends.

dreamattack27 on Wed Jul 22, 2009 1:58 pm

heh, I DJ on Friday nights at a bar/club here, and about 1:00 A.M. I sometimes switch over to 80's and the place goes apeshit when I finish it off with "Don't Stop Believin". And Tears For Fears are one of the most underrated bands ever. I love it all up until they got back together for that Beatles-esque atrocity a couple years back.

I also laugh everytime I hear "Sugar" by Flo Rida. I mean, seriously? You're sampling Echo and the Bunnymen? Does he even know who they are?

yeah man, The Hurting is one of the best LPs of that era. If you're up for trading some music, I've been djing since 1990, my roots are industrial/gothic/ebm/alternative. I got some ill remixes and whatnot.

first learned about jack johnson when he was playing with G. Love - Rodeo Clowns. I haven't heard too much J. Johnson, but what I've heard I've liked. I've got a G. Love mix that is in constant rotation.

After a while the whininess of the lead singer's voice just get to the point where it can't be ignored.

I have been listening to a lot of older stuff lately.
Thre Days Grace
Days of the New
Throttlerod
Soundgarden
Silverchair
Pearl Jam
etc, etc.

Also in rotation at any given time are Flobots, Linkin Park, Poison the Well, Counting Crows, Tangerine Dream (old old), Optimus Rhyme, Foo Fighters and whatever else fits what mood I am in.

For the most part I try to stay away from the super-over-processed stuff most pop bands dish out these days. I like strong voices not synthesizers.

Is that Flobots any good? I've heard a couple they play on sirius and I like it so far.

I like them. Their ryhmes are pretty decent, they have good beats and a steady flow.
A lot of the stuff on the album is not like what gets played on the radio. The band is extrememly political and has a lot of cuts and dubs from speaches and such . Still over-all I find the album to be an enjoyable one.

If you're into Clutch, have you heard any of the RED FANG stuff? There's a great video on youtube.

I saw them when I was 7 at the Salt Lake City Palace 1978!!! My brothers took me to see them since I was a lil KISS fan. Came home deaf and full of confetti. Ahh to be REALLY young.
