Smile. Now this gives me a warm feeling. Glad I could make you happy.

Talking of metal, I've been enjoying this album by 90s thrashers Xentrix recently. I'd forgotten how good it is (if you like thrash…. ).

Edit: how do you embed YouTube videos? I just tried wrapping it with the [YOUTUBE] tags in advanced options but it just got stuck at "loading."

It should be in this form:

[youtub£]video id[/youtub£]

Replace the pound signs with the letter "e", I've just done that so my example doesn't just show up as a broken link. When I say video ID, I mean you just put in the code that identifies the video, not the whole link. It's usually near the end of the link URL.

So in your case, Pongo, you put 7gH0s2SH30I there.
Quote me to see what happened.

Ahhh! Thanks both, I was quoting the whole URL rather than the specific identifier.

So as a test… I've also been listening to this awesome album by Imitation Electric Piano. They feature some of the same folk as Stereolab. The singer's voice took me a little while to get used to, but the music is fantastic!



Ahhh the sweet smell of success!

My ringtone is part of "Things that don't exist" by Air Formation

Back when I worked, I had a set-up that woke me every morning for about ten years that started off with "You" and "Planet Telex", both by Radiohead. At about one hundred decibels, that's about as mellow as I get.

I'd never heard of Labi Siffre (a bit embarrassing now I've googled him ) but one of my friends recommended having a listen. This track, part of which was sampled by Eminem, is just awesome. Really funky with a cheeky vibe.

Totally mesmerized by the new Grizzly Bears album "Painted Ruins". I'm a sucker for vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar, jazzy offbeats, dark synths, echoey guitars, a little discordance, changing time signatures, quiet/loud dynamics, and varying textures. A rather progressive smorgasbord.

Here is another great track from it. Strange video too.



More is more. NSFW, btw.



Spot on review, though I would rate it higher.

More Bear spam.

This is amazing.



Take your pick. Wow.



More?



Awesome live show.

EDIT:If you can ignore the occasional skip. Ah well…

My obsession continues

This video is something

This weekend is setting up to be a Radiohead festival for me…..last night it was In Rainbows, today so far has been Pablo Honey and the Bends.

Turn it up.
