I love 80s pop (new wave-synth pop+post punk), most indie disco stuff, dance punk, indie rock, bits of pop, bits of house, bits of electro.

Ah yeah, cool. My mate's becoming quite the DJ, still hasn't played a venue yet, but will soon. As will my band, we're a bit slow on the uptake. My mates are big on the hardcore electro scene at the moment, not a big fan myself.

Do you like MSTRKRFT's stuff? By the sounds of it, I reckon you would. Particularly, their first album. And Van She Tech maybe too? Their remix of Gravity's Rainbow by Klaxons is just the bomb. Old, but awesome.

Kanye West, Johnny Cash, Matisyahu, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Wu Tang Clan, TZU, The Herd, Butterfingers, Hilltop Hoods, Bliss n Eso, Cut Copy, GreensKeepers etc etc etc

[Gorgoroth 12,362]

To quote Cannonball Adderley - "Hipness isn't a state of mind, it's a fact of life"!

How about Miles, Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Art Ensemble of Chicago and all the other music groups formed from within the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians.

(if you're not hip enough to know 'em - look 'em up and learn something)

I listen to pretty much anything, and it'll be impossible to list all the styles I love -let alone individual bands- in one post. Like, five minutes after I post this, I'll probably go "siht! why didnt I mention such and such". But I'll have a go.

My absolute favorite artists, who I am not at all joking when I say that I would rather have all four limbs removed with a rusty fork, with no anesthetic, than never be able to listen to them again, are Tom Waits (hence the display pic), Van Morrison, The Pogues and Tim Rogers (counting You Am I and all of his solo efforts and side projects).

I love 60s-era rock; massive fan of Creedence, The Doors, Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin etc etc. Really into blues, especially the stuff that came out of Chicago in the 50s (Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters etc), gypsy swing, jazz generally (particularly Dixieland rooted stuff).

Also a huge fan of Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and generally anyone who transcends musical boundaries, writes incredible if somewhat depressing ballads, smokes heaps of cigarettes and sings in a ballsy baritone voice.

Some of my favorite Australian musicians (other than Nick Cave and Tim Rogers) are Billy Thorpe, Johnny O'Keefe, Tex Perkins, Australian Crawl, Spectrum/Indelible Murtceps, INXS, Hunters, Cog, Frenzal, Divinyls, I could go on and on. I'm also a massive wrap for John Williamson and think he's an incredible song-writer.

The next gig I'm going to is Alice Cooper. Absolutely cant wait.

Gravity's Rainbow" The Klaxons (Van she Remix) is pretty good, the music video is really good.

MSTRKRFT have a few good songs, bounce and John legend andre 3000 remix are a few new good ones, oh and Justice Dance remix is a good oldy.

Listen to Pjanoo (Original Mix) By Pryda might not be your style but great club song.

Has anyone picked up the new Alexisonfire? It's 'officially' out tomorrow, but we started selling it at JB yesterday. If this doesn't debut close to number one, then something is seriously wrong. What a KILLER cd! Very different from their earlier work, but man.. these boys are freaking talented.

I have a very vast music taste. I guess my 'ideal' music is melodic hardcore.. pretty much Alexisonfire/Thrice.. and bands like Brand New, Rise Against, Bring Me The Horizon AFI, Coheed and Camrbia, A Wilhelm Scream, A Day To Remember and so on.

I'm pretty big into metal as well.. Machine Head are an absolute favorite.

I like to get my 'electro' on a fair bit.. bands like Does It Offend You Yeah?, Pendulum, Royksop, MSTRKRFT, Junior Boys and a few others... then there's Miley Cyrus. Oh dear. I don't know why i like her!

Ah I have been too a couple of Bulldog Spirit shows at the Arty. Really good live. You a fan of Toe to Toe, another good aussie punk band.

Also try to find Nine on myspace. He is a rapper from NYC you might like if you like the Ghetto boys.

[Gorgoroth 12,362]

Yeah Toe to Toe are a great harcore band.

Yeah I love Bulldog Spirit, great band. The don't really play any more, but at a mates birthday the other week we got them to play (all mates of mine) and it was awesome to hear them again.

That's a fair list Condemned84. Anyone you don't like

Can't stand Nick Cave. Never heard of Dead Kennedy's.

Going to Pink concert next month. Should I be excited? Because I'm not.

[Gorgoroth 12,362]

Plenty I don't like and Pink is right up there

Pretty much if it's on Fox fm or top 40 or played at a night club/ rave. I won't like it.

Dead Kennedy's were a early 80's punk band from USA. Not every ones cup of tea but a good band.

[Jaded No More 59,150]

I'm amazed that nothing has been said about Michael Jackson, so let me just say this.

While he was embroiled in controversy in the later parts of his life, MJ was one of, if not the greatest musical talent this world has ever seen.

I was lucky enough to see him live in concert during the 90's, and grew up listening to him. His was the first CD I ever bought.

I hope that, particularly those who grew up post his big success in the 80's and 90's, remember him for the amazing entertainer that he was, and not for the mistakes that he may have made as a very fragile and damaged human being.

He was truly a living legend.

Michael Jackson........had all the dance moves. Songs & Clips such as Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean were ground breaking in the Music Industry, particularly the Video Clips. Sadly, I thought he started to go downhill after this from the 'Bad' album onwards.(Or was it Black & White album). The moon walk was something else.

We had the King of Rock in Elvis.

MJ was the King of Pop.

Ironically Lisa Marie Presley was close to both.

I work in a cd store, and was struggling to keep a straight face when people we're streaming in two weeks ago asking for Michael Jackson CDs, and when we told them that we sold out pretty early, some got abussive.

I don't even want to start about the hoards of 'fans' that decided to go out and buy his music after he died. It infuriates me.

Anyway, two rather big cd's were announced for September. AFI will be dropping their eight studio album, "Crash Love" on the 29th, and Brand New will be releasing their new one a week earlier. Does It Offend You, Yeah are playing their first headlining tour around then as well.. What a huge month.

[Gorgoroth 12,362]

Well i did not mention him cos I don't listen to his music and I gather that the others who posted here did not either jaded

It's like Johnny Cash, how many people started listening to him after the movie/ he died etc?

Doors the same after that movie came out.

[Cards13 9,117]

Up coming gigs I am excited about

Gallows playing grand final night.... aaahhh going to ne one big big big day.

Terror playing 7th of oct at corner hotel.

The Bronx are playing there mariachi set shortly too. Love The Bronx, one of the best live shows you will see.

[Gorgoroth 12,362]

Terror are playing the corner!!!!!!

Sweet as!

Got the specials at the end of the month, original line up for the 30 year anniversary, getting the dancing shoes on!

Yes they are!! Raised Fist are coming out again too!!! THink Oct.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Hatebreed/Terror show at the HiFi bar a few years ago. Terror were awesome!!! Can not wait for these few gigs. I suggest you go see the Bronx too, the lead singer is one of the best front men you'll see. Just insanely into his craft.

Yea a mate just offered me two tixs to the Specials he can't use now, just the cost is a worry.

[Gorgoroth 12,362]

Seriuosly, they are worth it, Special Beat with Neville staples is amazing, the specials will be super awesome!!!

Just heard the Spermbirds are out in October so that will be awesome!

I was at the Terror/Hatebreed gig and left after Terror, not a fan of Hatebreed.

One of the best front men I have seen is Jeff from C0ckney Rejects who shadow boxes through the whole gig! Not bad for a bloke over 50

Monkey from the Adicts is also amazing to watch.

[dee-man sam 0]

AC/DC ! kiss, the who, the beatles, fleetwood mac, pink floyd

[AFI 3]

I'll hopefully head to that Gallows gig..

And like I mentioned before, Does It Offend You, Yeah? announced a tour. Half of my workplace is going.. it's going to be a BIG night. I can't wait.
