A Music Thread

[Al B. Sure!]

You want obscure... he's some unsigned guys who I personally know... I went to middle school with two of these guys:

The first one was featured on MTV... was interviewed and performed on It's On with Alexa Chung. guess he's too pop!






And though my delivery and audio quality doesn't compare... Here's a song of my own:

Here, this is a song from a friend of mine's husband's band. You might actually like it, Cockney. Sounds like it would be up your alley:

The goal of music isn't to find obscure artists, it's to find good ones. Most of the time, obscure bands are obscure because they are crap.

That's not to say the crap you are posting is good.

Pretty much the same as realizing I'm not a steaming pile of alpaca dung. I'm OK with it.

sloww - simple minds, a one hit wonder, are you serious?! maybe they were bigger in the UK, but still...they've had a career spanning 30 years and they're still going today. check out their early stuff.

albert, it's not so much about being obscure, it's about (for me at least) introducing people here to things they've not heard before and maybe broadening their horizons a little. i also want to hear stuff i've not heard before and have my horizons expanded a little.

and asher i disagree with you, but we already had this discussion a few pages back.

I could ask for more songs if you really care but they just got married, just moved, starting new jobs, etc. so I don't know if I should even bother her right now about her husband's music.
