What Song Are You Listening to Right Now?

Hillsong is Christian group propped up by their Christian music -- apparently they are a large group of young people who spread the word through music.

Good shit! I fucking love atmosphere, especially a lot of the older headshots mixtapes and the first few albums.

I fucking love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I saw them live in NYC in a club and she was amazing. I tried to look up the meaning of their song "Zero" on Genius.com....to me it is obviously about the BDSM scene

Karen O
Amy Winehouse
Alison Mosshart
Sarah McLaclan

Best female singers imo

Old school Flaming Lips with Ronald Jones.  Jones was a fucking genius, he made the strangest, awesome sounds with his guitar, as inventive as Tom Morello

Exhibit A

Exhibit B Dam the guitar sound at 0:44 is so CRUNCHY

Old School band called the Malakas, their lead singer, Canford Nix, was a Heroin guy who died.  He has a lot of great solo stuff too

The new Aesop Rock, "The Impossible Kid" is fire!  I also like the new Weezer, "The White Album" it is their best record since "The Green Album"

I love the flaming lips, they are from my home town and my parents are somewhat friends of the lead singer wayne coyne who is an awesome dude. I first saw them do a new years eve show and its still the best show I have ever been too, got to go back stage and meet all them after which made it even better of course, glad they got a little more recognition over the past decade, because they were basically a one hit wonder in the 90s before Yoshimi Battles the pink robots and the album right before it and started showing up on every movie and commercial.

If you haven't been to one of their shows it's definitely a do before you die kind of show it's great even if you aren't a big fan of their music, the NYE show I went to they gave everyone laser pointers, and at midnight dropped at least 1000 huge balloons and beach balls, it was a great show, lots of cool stuff like that throughout the concert so you were entertained on top of the music. Glad someone posted one of their songs I haven't listened to them in a few years.

Yeah I definitely need to go to one of their shows, I saw a few videos of their live shows and it looks so wild!  I just could imagine taking some psychedelics and totally bugging out when they start playing.  Some of the footage I've seen looks like a performance art show mixed with a rock concert. So rad!

Have you seen the documentary on them it's called "The Fearless Freaks"  it is pretty cool, it traces their evolution. They were always on my rader since the 90's, but I didn't really get into them until the Yoshimi record. I just recently got into the two albums with Ronald Jones & Steven Drozd,  Transmissions from the Satellite Heart & Clouds Taste Metallic and it is blowing my mind how different and good they sound. Drozd & Jones are both musical geniuses.  I'm sure you know there are conflicting reports on why Jones left the band.  He has been a ghost ever since and I wonder why he didn't do something after he left.  Drozd is an awesome drummer too. I'm glad he stayed.

Exhibit A 

Some days when I don't feel like getting out of bed, I blast The W.A.N.D (The Will Always Negates Defeat)  and it gives the strength to take on the man and the fucked system.  These lyrics totally get me ready for the fight....

You've got the power in there
Waving your wand in the air

Time after time those fanatical minds try to rule all the world
Telling us all it's them who's in charge of it all
I've got a tricked out magic stick that will make them all fall
We've got the power now, motherfuckers; that's where it belongs!

You've got that right
Power in there
You know that it's
Wand in the air

They've got their weapons to solve all their questions, they don't know what it's for
Because they don't know what it's for
Why can't they see it's not power, just greed, to just want more and more?
Just want more and more
I got a plan and it's here in my hand a baton made of light
We're the enforcers, the sorcerer's orphans, and we know why we fight!


Its so rad you got to meet Wayne Coyne, he's a total visionary.

Alright now I have to listen to The Score all the why thru tonight. Its all good because I'm not sleeping until I get to the clinic at 6am , couple more hours and I'm good.  Is Lauren Hill not the illest female mc of all time, I can't even think of a close second...maybe, Mc Lyte,......Bahamadia, Eve??  Sheeeeit!

Damm Sterno!  In my drinking days I thought I was bad with my mouthwash & cooking wines.  Once or twice some isopropyl alcohol just to stop the shakes.  My friend IV'd vodka once...he didn't die, but he said it was horrible and he would never do it again

lauryn hill is definitely way, way up there. but Id put ladybug from Digable Planets way up there as well. Hill just has/had more talent.

ON TO THE JAMS

[Griffin]

Yeah he was such a nice cool chill dude, my parents went to his halloween and NYE parties every year that he had them when I was in high school and a few years after I don't know how well they still know him, they were friends of friends, one of my dads best friends wife is a writer and journalist for a local news paper so she has done stories about them since they started and introduced my parents to them in the mid 2000s and since then they would go to random parties a few times a year together, and they'd get us tickets for the nye show each year with back stage passes, my brother whose a drummer got to play on their set after the show in 2009.

The wand is definitely one of my favorite songs by them, and do you realize is awesome too, first time I heard them was at their nye show in 2006 or 07 went to best buy the next day to pick up all their cd's.
