Just Enemy Mine.

First I will introduce my music collection which I call ‘The Shelf’ which will prove how crazy my music tastes are. I listen to quite a few genres, including Indie bands like Arcade Fire, 80s rock bands like Genesis, post 80s material like Nine Inch Nails, pop-rock like The Church, progressive rock bands like Rush, Hip Hop mix bands DJ Shadow, mind fucking beats like Aphex Twin, alt country like Ryan Adams, experimental rock bands like Wilco, melodic electronica like Psykosonik, 90s alternative like Smashing Pumpkins, 2000s alternative like TV on the Radio, new aged rap projects like Saul Williams, doom metal bands like My Dying Bride, math metal bands like Meshuggah, progressive metal bands like Burst, and black metal bands like Mayhem. I am sure I am missing a few genres.. perhaps a dozen. The Shelf contains imagination, inspiration, and keeps me quite happy.

Swan Lake – Enemy Mine

This is an incredible album. Anybody who has a chance to listen to their first album Beast Moans, will find a new world behind the veil. This band consists of Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes, Daniel Bejar of Destroyer, and Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown. For those who are not familiar with these artists and are interested, this is a very strange place to start. These musicians have a strange style of writing and sound where it could be quite difficult to describe, but I guess you could say that listening to the artists other projects will seem like walking carelessly through jungle, stumbling over artifacts never before seen. This band in particular is like being in the middle of this jungle, in it’s most secret place.

The songs sound as if they were written acoustic and the songs feel more intimate compared to their first album which sounded less natural and thus more experimental. This is not to say that they played it safe on their second album as the complexity is still there. Beast Moans is one of my top 10 favorite albums, and Enemy Mine is definitely growing on me.

I do not know if these artists are on sites like itunes as I buy only physical copies of albums, but if you are interested in this band check out these tracks:

A Venue Called Rubella (from Beast Moans)
All Fires (from Beast Moans)

Spanish Gold, 2044 (from Enemy Mine)
Heartswam (from Enemy Mine)

Since I am a fan of a lot of different media types, including Music, Games, Movies, and British Dentist Porn (whatever), I see quite a lot of ‘The Greatest BLAH of all time!’ lists. An example of one of these lists would be ‘The Top 10 xbox 360 games of all time!’ which just sounds retarded to me since the xbox 360 has not been available for even a fraction of our human history. For this reason, all greatest lists I will create in the future will be bastardized.

Soon I will be adding Featured Artist threads and so forth. If you have any requests, please comment. *snort*

I am having a knee slapping good time!
