cool list, popboy.

what is all about eve like? i'm very intrigued. i mean, if they're purchased alongside those greats, they must be something good too.

what is all about eve like?


hey there fub... all about eve... they're like an old old friend to me... the album i got is one of these retrospective type things, cos although i have some of their original albums... this box set thingy has it all together... with a dvd too... yum! tongue.gif

but, um... anyway... they're this late 80's and early to mid 90's band, and i guess they could loosely be indie-pop-gothers... actually thats a really bad description...

the bands vocalist, julianne regan has this really distinctive haunting voice that is the reason i really love the band. i guess a lot of the songs have a sub-melancholy feel to them, but they all have beautiful lyrics. um... i guess the best way to see if you like them is to give them i go... i think you would like them... assuming that you are ok with 80's and 90's indie stuff smile.gif

all about eve biography
all about eve on myspace

hope you can have fun with them smile.gif

I've heard of All About Eve, albeit only one song, "Like Emily". It was put on a cd for me that were songs with my name in it.. but I distinctly remember thinking how beautiful her voice was. Very.. mature, and lilting at the same time. they're pretty sweet smile.gif

right everything i got/bought for/off bday/bday money. (sorry if that was confusing):

tanya donelly - lovesongs for underdogs
cat power - myra lee
gemma hayes - the roads dont love you
throwing muses - the real ramona
pj harvey - to bring you my love
the cardigans - long gone before daylight (the bonus tracks version)
fucked up blair23
how are you liking the bonus tracks in long gone before daylight, specifically the ultra sad "if there is a chance". has it made you cry yet??

and good points with the gemma hayes, pj harvey, throwing muses and cat power purchases. i love the second album by gemma hayes. you'd probably like it better. it's more polished and just catchier stuff.

Tanya Donelly - Sliding and Diving EP

and I've only listened to If There's a Chance and Gemma Hayes twice. I've been too Tanya bound lately laugh.gif

what do you think of hunkpapa, red

i find hunkpapa and house tornado kind of hard to get into. they were really into some tempo shifts and song splicing that can get a bit frustrating.

the tracks really don't gel well together at all. it's not an awful album but not a particularly good one either. there's some good songs in there though like Bea, No Parachutes, Dragonhead and Fall Down but after listening to it, i just yearn for Ramona.

The band is called "Kidneythieves" i consider them like techno rock. I'm not sure if you would dig them but they do have some awesome fucking songs, for their album "Zerospace". I love the vocalist chic she rocks!!!.

You might have heard some of their songs, you might have heard of "Before i'm dead" they played that song on the credits of "Queen of the Damned". And they did a cover version of "Crazy" from Patsy Cline, which they played on "Bride of Chucky". I Love their music, i mean its rock, but they also have their mellow/dark music as well. You might Just fall in LOVE with the song "serene dream". wink.gif .......guaranteed.

thanks. i'm gonna check it out. i dunno about the electro thing but maybe.

ABBA - Gold
Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway (I lost it)

If There is a Chance is an awesome song. As for my last purchase I have wanted Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynard for years but just didn't buy it until just now. I like Southern Rock and they do it well.

Oooh, do you like her? I don't know if I can see you liking her.

I find her a little like "Nellie Mckay Diet", not sonically, but in terms of the type of artist they are.
QuieroPhair
why not rob?

I like her voice, it has such idiosynchronies. Very Bjorkish in that respect. Her lyrics are so awkward in terms of the way words are strung together, I like it alot so far.

Well the song "Im so sick" is fucking awesome! but i havent really heard the WHOLE album yet, the frontwomans voice reminds me of "Avril Lavigne" it reminds me of her ALOT. blink.gif

But their music is like Audioslave meets Incubus. smile.gif

but with a chick on vocals.

ummmm..... that sounds rather middle of the road. like a typical vh1 rock act.

HAH! I knew you'd buy it!

I honestly think Gold Lion was a bad choice as a first single, and it grates, but I like the album alot.
we left yesterday
i don't know that i didn't think i would. i just waited is all. and gold lion is about the best song on there. the cd is good. a vast improvement over their limp fever to tell. i don't konw though how they'll fare in the long run.
fucked up blair23
i love "way out". i was singin it!! waaay out. we aaaay out. such a fine song.

i bought:
The Sounds - Dying to say This to you

but downloaded
The Sounds - living in America
QuieroPhair
do you download everything from soulseek or do you have other means?

I just can't imagine downloading more than one song at a time from soulseek, it is SO slow.
Dork
I've recently boughten:

Visqeen- Sunset on Dateland

Visqeen- King Me
krysta
no waaay the best song on show your bones is cheated hearts

SOMETIMES I FEEL I'M BIGGER THAN THE SOUND

i like flyleaf's single but i can't stand their christian message. they would be cool if their music actually reflected the dark image they portray in that video but i think that's just so people will buy into them. i just don't dig their "choose life choose god" thing.

Kate Bush: Aspects of the Sensual World


It's just called the sensual world.
And, Oh dear.
Probably not the best starting point for Kate. The highlights are huge, but it's one of her least consistent albums.

If anyone was going to start buying Kate albums, I'd reccomend Hounds Of Love or Never For Ever.

I believe you're refering to "This Woman's Work" which has been out for quite a while.

The only "new" Kate Bush releases are the japanese re-issues of her first seven albums that are plagueing every shop near me. Which is cool but irritating as I kinda wish I had the money to burn just to buy them.

No it's aspects.

It is like a promo disc or something with a couple of the songs from the album.

This Woman's Work? (Aka, the best song from the sensual world)
Space Pirate

Oh yeah I did hear they were making a sequel to The Whole Story.

So then in response to your original question, probably not. I have a lot of her bsides and unreleased stuff and I plan to buy the three albums of hers I don't have yet.
