Love or hate songs/albums/bands here.

Any album by Shulman. (Best thing to come out of Israel since Jesus.)
Anything by Carbon Based Lifeforms.
Ashra - New age of earth (Classic)
Anathema - Judgement
Rena Jones - Driftwood (If you don't like this, you're probably not human.)

I've been listening to Isis all week. And I can't stop.
There's this one album named "Panopticon" that I must have played at least twenty times this week. Then Grainne came out with that article about surveillence.
I'm guessing you guys aren't into heavy psychedelic metal...But if you are then you have to hear Isis' Oceanic, and then the other four albums.
The one thought that keeps recurring all week as I listen to some of these songs is, "I'm really gonna miss listening to this when I'm dead." lol seriously.

I have heard of none of these but I am now heading over to check them out.
As far as what I am listening to, I have to say it's been mostly traditional Celtic folk as we are currently hosting a fiddle group at House Rhuad. But, I honestly listen to so many different types and genres it's hard to track. It is however a safe bet that on any given day there will be a good portion of Bluegrass.

I kind of have a condescension towards musicians and artists. They're dreamers...half-ass workers, with a few exceptions. I think every person has a "song" and so I sample everything. Few impress me...after a while, all the singing sort of devolves in my mind to blah blah blah blah life sucks or blah blah life is awesome. I guess writers are much the same. I think I just want to leave the earth entirely.

That sounds pretty depressive, Mitch.

Anathema has an album called "a fine day to exit." Together with "judgement" and "eternity" they are the band's masterpieces IMO. All three albums are thoroughly about death and parting, or at least that's my interpretation.
These three albums affected me really deeply as a teenager. I've been listening to them, among other things, pretty much all my life and they still touch a deep buried chord in me somewhere. Whenever I think about the phrase "a fine day to exit" it really scares the shit out of me. I think these few simple words hold such exquisite beauty and so much sadness that I just don't know how to deal with.
Our time is running out, doesn't matter if it's in sixty years or a hundred, we will never see this beautiful earth again.
How is a man supposed to deal with something like that?
