Enlighten Me...

[Bob Clayton]

i have a $15 iTunes gift card that i'd like to spend, but i have no clue what i want.

much of what i'm listening to lately include bands like:
anti-flag (political punk)
against me! (political punk)
angels & airwaves (alternative rock)
jamisonparker (alternative/acoustic rock)
streetlight manifesto (ska)
muse (alternative rock)
less than jake (alternative rock / ska)

comedians i like and have listened to recently:
george carlin
brian regan
mitch hedberg
daniel tosh

so recommend me some new tunes!

I would mention some of my music, but with that list, I doubt you would.

HEY!

Wait a second. Check out Explosions In The Sky. They are amazing post-rock.

[Bob Clayton]

i'm open to anything.. (hell i have stuff ranging from music that dates back to the renaissance all the way to carrie underwood, and everything in between)

that stuff is just what i've been listening to lately.

i'll check them out.

[Valerus]

haha that's cool. It's good to be open to music.

Definitely check them out. Hopefully you like instrumental music.

well if you are into the pollitical punk thing you can get basically any borderline hardcore or just modern punk band. It seems you like the more contemporary side of alternative music so you could try frenzel romb or if you havn't been exposed to it yet old grinspoon.

look into music from the 90's there is heaps of your style punk there

The Neverending White Lights.

...just checked-
iTunes does have the Screaming Headless Torsos.

I recommend-
"Vinnie" & "Free Man" (crazy bass groove in 7 against a 4/4 feel) & "Smile In A Wave"(Theme From Miles Davis' "Jack Johnson") from 1995
"Word To Herb" & "Smile In A Wave" & "Funk Is The Preacher, Jazz Is The Teacher" from the Live album.

bad brains

bad religion

a.k.a.c.o.d. (fans of bass should give this a listen)

or you can wait for either the new Mars Volta or Dengue Faver albums.
