A music recommendation

Oh, my god.

Ohhhhh dear.

Now I need a new computer screen.

On a random note, I just listened to INXS's album 'Switch.' I like it a lot, even though I have no clue who the heck INXS is.  'Afterglow' is good... so are 'Hungry' and 'Devil's Party.' Really, the whole thing rocks. The use of the saxaphone was kind of unexpected, but definitely cool sounding.

INXS started 30 years ago.

Of course, the 80's were their time and Michael Hutchence (lead singer) killed himself a decade ago so they've been pretty quiet until their recent stint at reality television (where they got their new lead singer).

But at least INXS is still INXS... unlike some other old bands with only one original member.

Well... there are some bands that kick ass with only one original member...

Ineed it it is. ^^ It makes me want to yell. A lot.

I just bought 'Say I Am You' by the Weepies, and I love it. I'm surprised-- it really isn't my kinda thing. But it's wonderful.

Oh my.  Was it that bad?
**EDIT**
Oh, you meant the review, not the album.

Just ordered:


Yes, I'm in a Rush impulse purchase mood. Heard Counterparts was by far their best 1990's album, though. And, I've been planning to get AFTK for a while.

Fuckin' A!

hey kid, watch your language... :tsk

I've heard that used in my school without repercussion...

For those who like Melodic Metal, try looking up Impellitteri Chris is considered one of, if not the, fastest Shred Style guitar players in the world.

Former Impellitteri Vocalist, Rob Rock, went solo a few years back. His latest offerings lack the insane guitar speed that Chris Impellitteri used to back him with, but the vocals are still in the realm of Boston or Bon Jovi.

Just ordered:
A Farewell To Kings

I thought you'd already bought that one.

By the way, when you run out of Rush albums, try to get Singularity's first album - it's fairly similar to some of their 1980s output.  Some people call it 'the lost Rush album'

The only 1990s one I have is 'Roll the Bones', mostly on the strength of 'Dreamline' after I saw it live in Manchester.  Bought it the following morning in fact.  'Roll the Bones' itself has some charms too, and I like 'Neurotica'.  After that it gets a little patchy.  I guess I miss the analogue synths from the 70s and 80s.

Yeah, with all these 'young, impressionable children' around... heh.

The band 'Blue October' is making me pretty happy right now. Especially 'The Sound of Pulling Heaven Down.'
