Yo MusicBanter.
 

Yo people of MusicBanter. I'm Shawn. I listen to literally all types of music. My favorite genres are, Metal (Doom/Sludge/Stoner being my favorite.) Punk (Hardcore post-punk (bands like Wire.), and Country music (Outlaw, alt-country, gothic-country. Not Pop-Country.) I'm really into experimental stuff, the more weird and crazy the better. I dig a lot of Indie/Twee stuff. So yeah, I'm really open minded when it comes to listening to new music. I don't only dig those genres up there, by the way. I'm open to Hip-Hop, Blues, Classical, so on, literally anything I'll give a chance.

So yeah, name is Shawn, I'm 15 and dig all kinds of music. This site seems pretty cool in terms of musical discussion comparing to a lot of sites out there, so I guess I'll stick around a while.

I'm more into the independent and experimental scenes, but we do have a bunch of members with a love of Metal (Jackhammer mostly) and Country. We rarely ever get new members with this good of taste, please stay.

Welcome :-)

so you like burzum? i find that music actually really well composed, but i find myself feeling guilty for listening to it considering varg's personal views. i guess it's not too bad in the music, though, since it is all mainly about celebrating paganism.

Thanks, LLSS. Yeah I'm gonna stick around a while.
Thanks Bandteacher.

Yeah Duga, I like him. I dont let the lyrical content/persons views of things making the music stand in my way of liking it. I'm listening for the music itself not to support the views of the person. Although I do see what you're saying and why some people probably don't listen to music because of content. Most people wouldn't know what Vargs views were if it werent for his interviews and things. Based solely on his music, most people would never know, I know I wouldnt. His lyrical content is supposedly, more fantasy and folklore than anything.

Welcome man, you like sludge? You might like "Lhasa". They're kind of hard to find, but I had this upped:

Lhasa - Bogged Horizon.mp3

Thanks for the welcome.
Yup, Sludge is my favorite genre of metal easily. I'll check the Lhasu out.

Welcome to the group! I love people who are open to any type of genre of music.

Thanks. Yeah I enjoy finding people that enjoy music the way I do. Unfortunately outside of the internet thats hardly an option.

awesome. its rare to find someone with this taste here. you ever listen to corrupted?

Thanks dude. Yup I've heard Corrupted. Very good band. Wish they didnt have such long songs. I dont mind long songs but songs that are an hour long tend to be hard to listen to in one sitting for me. I do enjoy them though.

Nice list, always good to meet another Gothic Country fan. Definitely check out my Gothic Country thread if you haven't already. You may find some new artists, but for the most part you've got everything I do.
Hope you actually stick around unlike 90% of the new members.

My Gothic Country Thread

Best list i've seen on here in a while dude. If you ever want some mad hip-hop recs give me a shout.

Welcome to Music Banter!
I hope you like it here. [[=

This is really impressive. Real cool to see Flipper, Angry Samoans, and Coke Bust, all pretty underrated bands.I like most of the stuff you posted but my favorites are in bold.

Welcome, by the way, hope you stick around.

You forgot to bold Radiohead.

^^^^Quite a worthwhile first post. I hope we can expect greater things from you.

It did make me lol kind of hard.

Btw, you ever checked out Lhasa man?

Is that Lhasa Man, or Lhasa, man?

Lhasa, man. Just to clear things up ;)
