I just bought that thing, and got it autographed [Yeayy for me]:

http://piratebeirut.com/wp-content/u...an-300x264.jpg

It's one of the rare local singers of the underground scene, she was the opening-act in the Yann Tiersen concert I went to today. I was thinking of downloading her album from the Internet, as I already have the link, but hearing her today live I instantly changed my mind. It is rare to see someone around here who's worth the encouragement. The album can be best described as Folk/Indie rock, she composed all the songs which are sang in Armenian (as she's from Armenian origins and as she is singing in a country that only 5% of it would understand her). She's using her voice more as an instrument, it's like a mix between Sigur ros and Cranberries in ways.

Sorry for the bad video quality, but I think it shows enough to see what I am talking about:

sorry mate, laws of logic and syntax have no place in my internet experience. who would want a london social degree, it's a hipster's song. The modern equivalent to Carnaby Street would be living in Shoreditch and seeing electro-punk bands in pubs... Just so you know.
And i didn't mean to snap, just been on edge today. this week. this year. need my fix. CHRIST I NEED MY FIX.

it doesn't look like you got many albums so i'm not saying you're this bad, but..
some guy in my flat, whom i've only seen twice, ever, had the audacity to ask for my hard drive today. Bloody cheek! Anybody wanting to get their greasy mitts on my exterior can swivel; people are so used to being bottle-fed now they can't even be bothered to find what they like, gradually building their own music collections... they'd rather just appropriate yours. Where's the fun in that?
THAT's the casual music listener - second only in idiocy to the casual smoker.

Them Crooked Vultures is out? Damn! I just grew my list of must buys again!

The album I downloaded most recently was Desert Lights by Something for Kate... kinda reclaiming it after it mysteriously went missing (the original disc)... Come to think of it, I really need to find Earth and Sun and Moon by Midnight Oil and do the same...

send me all ur music put it in a rar i'll just delete all mine and have cool stuff.

Really though, that is pretty ****ing lame. Don't think that's what he (?) was doing, but it annoys me when people do this and then don't even know what 95% of the music that they have is.

Anyway, I just got Monster Island Czars - Escape From Monsta Island!

Despite my love of all things DOOM and Madlibs, I have yet to even hear a single song from this album. I fail :( That will all change soon though!

This post is just far too British for me, I really have no idea what the **** you're talking about. :laughing: Let's just move on, pretend nothing happened. :D

I purchased a 160g HDD off a mate of mine and got him to leave all his music on it but i know what you mean. I like to think i search 95% of my music out myself but it's nice to inherit a HDD and just steal loads of stuff you never got round to yourself.

Yep.It's a great way of imposing your music upon others too.
