Not just this track, but these guys (Grupo Afro-Cuba de Matanzas):

I'm listening to this to calm down after losing yet another rare keyboard to that bastard b***a.
(thanks macmakkara!)

Link? What was it?

We should have a That Bastard b***a Thread!

This 1975 Micro Switch, probably made for hotel reservations:

I wanted to put the blue numbers/months on my Bud keypad. Oh well, I'll just have to wait a decade or so before another one appears.

Those are rather slick. Although the best key is SPACE, because unlike most spacebars he's a gentleman and introduces himself.

Years later I still haven't found a song with guitar that I prefer..

@mr_a500 Glad you liked!

Because i listen music from classic to electrical and from rap to metal and all between those. Now im listening Punkpop/alternative. And band named Yellowcard one of my all time favorits. They trew epic gig yesterday @ Nosturi, Helsinki. I was there and Tickets was my xmas present from my lil bro. Ps. still don't have any voice cause whole club was singing as loud as they could!

What my dreams are made of...

derp

Heh, I didn't know that anywhere else in the world knew what a síbín was.

Listening to the new Alva Noto album (Xerrox, Vol. 3), so far I am really enjoying it

Thread popped up as this came on.

That album cover!

I've had that album since it came out and I've literally just realised what it is...Sorry, I'll change the link.

Nah, don't worry, it doesn't bother me. I was surprised but amused at the same time. I listen to metal myself. (The song is cool, by the way.) Anyone like Motörhead? Do you have the Sacrifice album? Well, I had it for a couple of years before realizing what's really there on the album cover.

I haven't listened to metal since I was a teenager!

@LLRnR, lol, not seen that before. I'm not a Motorhead fan at all...Ace of Spades was ok, everything else is pretty meh.

I go in phases, Christmas was hippie music (jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield), last month was more punk, this month seems to be metal.

I also go in phases: metal, classical, oldies and electronic.

It's been a long time (eh?) scottc, so here's some metal for you: Drudkh, an awesome Ukrainian heathen black metal band.

Pretty good so far, so much bloody hi-hat though...whoever mixed that album should be shot.

I haven't listened to metal since I was 10!

I used to wear Metallica and Slipknot t-shirts when I was 6-9 years old.

I saw Meat Loaf play Wembley when I was 8, my stall was set out from a pretty early age .

I like the hi-hats here, they give the album a lot of ambiance

Distorted guitars are a trademark of black metal; as for mixing, everybody knows that trve kvlt underground Cthulhu blaahk metaahl must have a sub-standard production, otherwise it's not trve kvlt underground Cthulhu blaahk metaalh.

The crappy production isn't a problem (I like low production values) and to be fair, the hats tone down a couple of songs in, but that first song was just all hat.

Thanks for the link LLRnR, but it's not really my thing anymore! I used to be a huge Megadeth and Iron Maiden fan (I have no idea how I ever took Megadeth seriously... ) but it just doesn't do it for me now. Since then, I was into hardcore and punk, then decided that I actually quite liked the musical and melodical part of music instead of just angsty lyrics, went through a stream of strange genres until I found jazz and then electronic music, and now most recently I've gotten very into synth-y 80's inspired stuff like Carpenter Brut and Perturbator. This is one of my recent favourites:

Yes, you're right about the first track. Hah, that Choking Victim song has such a happy tune!

@scottc: Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I haven't listened to anything like this before. I guess I had a lot of spare time as a teen, I discovered hundreds (thousands?) of bands. I haven't had the time for musical discoveries for the past 5 years or so, unfortunately.
