That's not the rock he asked for.

Oh, yeah, I just saw the stuff he wrote aftr 'rock'. I just saw the word rock and typed in the bands at the top of my head.

Hey I was listening to the Space Olympics song by The Lonely Island and I really liked the background music.

(Space Olympics - The Lonely Island): watch?v=jp77WTBLYCA

Does anyone know of any music that is similar to this?

I didn't know what genre of music to put it in, but Electronica seemed like it fit the best.

Any ideas?

Thanks and MERRY CHIRSTMAS!

Check out Woodmen Hall, They worked with John Congleton, the guy who did Explosions in the sky and St. Vincent among others. wodmenhall dot com is their site.

Hi, maybe someone can help me.
I saw a video clip on tv. Very beautiful, computer graphics. There were penguins, it was night, some of them were gazing at the stars and the moon, the others in the iglu of kind, very romantic, the whole video was with those penguins.
The lyrics sounded like paaaa paaaa, maybe there were some other words, but mostly a womens voice repeated paaaa paaaa.
Music, video and voice just awesome.
The problem is, I don't know the name of the artist, or the song, and it would be really great if someone could shed some light on this beautiful song.

Hey, so I'm new, obviously. And I've been listening to alternative/indie for awhile, but now that I've found this site I've realized how little I really do know. And it's kind of overwhelming, sorting through all this music. So I was wondering if I could have a few artists/albums/songs to start with. Like specific stuff. My current tastes include Arctic Monkeys, the Shins, Radiohead, stuff like that (popular, I guess you would say), but I want to branch out, so anything in this genre is welcome. And then I will listen to your suggestions on grooveshark

. Thanks!

Also, has anyone been to muzicforums.com? Everyone there has downs and absolutely no taste in good music, or any intelligence for that matter. This forum is better^infinity.

Three Days Grace, Chevelle, Foo Fighters, R.E.M., There's a few pretty cool alternative rock bands.

jayfin3 · 12-28-2009, 03:41 AM

Thanks. Never heard of Chevelle (i'll check it out), but I like the other 3.

Also, are there any good alternative/indie compilations lying around? I'm afraid to download any mixtapes for fear of coming into contact with metal or electronic or other weird stuff. Or really any compilations that don't have metal/electronic/weird on them...?

I'd say setting up a last.fm account would be the way to go.
