Music: Suggestions, discussions, and opinions

If you want a really interesting, fresh variety on the traditional bluegrass, you should check out "The Devil Makes Three".  It is really kind of dark, alternative bluegrass that is very addicting!  I had never previously thought I would see a mosh pit at a bluegrass show...yeah, seriously, I sh*t you not!!!

Its a welcome sight to see people suggesting bluegrass. Thats awesome! Bluegrass is good music.

i like one republic cuz its calm and makes me ride easier.

Pandora and Grooveshark are the best. There is also a new service that just emerged,
http://www.rdio.com/
I haven't used it yet, but i heard some really good reviews.

For me, techno and dub are really great for riding, nice beat gets you hyped up. :)
I think most pop music is alright to ride with.

Nice sites listed above. The site that I use to listen to the most is MixCrate. DJ's and Artist upload their music/playlist/mixes from all over the world. You can pick whatever genre of music to listen to, download the it or save it.

I think I'm one of the few here that primarily listens to electronica.

Originally posted by twinsin I think I'm one of the few here that primarily listens to electronica. House, trance, some dubstep, some trip-hop...so if anyone is interested in some recommendations on these genres, I can mildly help out.

I'd very much enjoy some recommendations.
The Kollection, a site that i often visit recently added a new electro site to their line up

http://electro.thekollection.com/

I haven't visited yet just due to the fact that I rarely listen to that genre of music. But it its anything like their site or any of their sister sites, I'm sure its amazing.

I've lately been on a mini trip-hop (don't use this term too much -- elitists hate this nomenclature ) craze:

old british metal and rock forever.

I have a chill rap playlist and a hard core rock playlist
depends on my mood

Originally posted by biz_NASTY So how many of you out there know, or know of, someone from your town, your city, w/e that raps or sings, DJs, plays an incredible set on the drums etc... Thought it might be interesting to include some of these people here in this thread. I've got a feeling that there might be a lot of posts in response to this so lets see what everyone out there's got. So the first artist I want to post is Kyle J, an artist from a small town near me. He's been going strong and really starting to emerge into a larger scene (in my opinion). He raps about real experiences, relationships, trying to make it and none of that nonsense bullsh*t that a lot of rappers tend to do now-a-days. Not saying everyone will enjoy his music, but definitely take a listen. Below is his website, which has links to his two mixtapes and some videos. http://www.kylejmusic.com/ And here is a direct link to some of my favorite tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQJdT7iVcy8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQtgdvJCn-4&feature=related And a link to one of videos,more of a day in the life of rather than a music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1GDnR9-1_0

C'mon, no responses to this post? Stop being lazy people and stop posting just for the points. This thread has a lot of potential. Lets get this thing goooooing.

where do you guys get your music? (besides buying it on itunes)

Yea any bit torrent site, and use uTorrent to decode the files so that it is possible to bring them into iTunes.

So I've got a bunch on new stuff I've been listening to lately, a couple mixtapes and some other stuff.

Mac Miller's new mixtape 'Best Day Ever' is nice and is as good, if not better, than his previous tape 'KIDS'. The opening track ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP_y06i0K4c&feature=fvst ) is dope; love the way the beat builds up and is a perfect intro to the tape.

Another mixtape I started listening to T Ryan's 'The Other Side'. T Ryan is just dope all around. He produces most if not all of his own tracks, makes his own beats, and his raps are up to par with other kids in his genre. One of my favorite tracks on the tape is 'Pilot Sky Life' here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq09jIkfhwg

The Deans List is one of my newly found obsessions. Just really enjoy everything they do. They came out with a tape called 'The Drive-In' a couple weeks back that I've been banging for a little while now. There's a lot of dope tracks on there but 'La Vie' really stands out to me. If your not into the intro just stick it out a couple seconds, but personally I enjoy it (not sure if its a sample from something else) Give it a listen here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZxa2lv6i2M

And there's a bunch of other stuff out there that has been getting some plays in my itunes
Lupe - Lasers (Album)
The White Panda - Pandamonium (Mixtape)
Pac Div - Mania! (Mixtape)
Kanye Feat Lil Wayne, Big Sean & Drake - All of the Lights Remix
J. Cole - Killers ***One of my favorite Cole songs ever

And I haven't given a full listen yet but Travis Barker's 'Can a Drummer Get Some' album dropped today and from what I've heard from leaks and what not it should be a real dope album. Loving the drums/rap collaborations.

i would say that if you're into hip hop but want to try something a little more grooving and mellow try the old soul stuff like otis redding, wilson pickett, the delfonics, al green, etc.

Yeah dude i completely agree. Loving that country sample soo much. There is a remix with Kid Ink but I like the original a lot more. I'm actually glad to see if no one else, I can count on you to enjoy this thread.

muse. all day everyday.

Originally posted by SnapShot I found out that playlist plays on my phone.  I have to keep the web browser open and cant turn off the display, but I can listen to my playlist in my car now. I have a feeling, wireless phone will eliminate radio in the near future.  Maybe not totally.

for which phone? for my phone, we can "check" songs we want to play and auto select a list of checks(play list l guess) its like a motorola.... something

I am still partial to old school stuff like Donna and the Buffalo, Dr Hook and the Fugs

Originally posted by krisshono That mash up is ok.. Ive heard alot better tho

Wasn't implying that it was the best, just something newer. Why don't you add to the thread by suggesting something 'better'.
