Why do we feel so much from so +little? The reason is the way the brain uses its senses to wonderstand +the world around it. Brains use large amounts of inner connected +components that serve very abstract uses. By routing information to +different parts using a high amount of innerconnectedness it can process +information in a exponential amount of ways. By sending carefully +choosen information to send to the senses you can take advanged of the +way it processes information to show whats really going on under the +hood and to cause it to route data in ways it normally wouldn't. Music +guides the geist through this chaotic complex world and shines light on +many parts of the mind and universe.\\ +\\ +"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of +energy, frequency and vibration." - Nikola Tesla + +* Psychedelic + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: psychedelic + :END: +** The Doors + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: the-doors + :END: +If you don't know who they are than you disapoint me. About the closest +I have to an all time favorite. When I was first learning guitar a +family friend showed me The Doors and showed me how to play a doors rift +on guitar. At first it look me to get deeper in their music but they +have always been with me no matter where I go in life. A lot of artists +haven't continued to bring me joy as my taste changes in the same way as +The Doors. If you asked me my favorite doors song I would say all of +them.\\ +\\ +If you dig The Doors please check out Ray Manzarek's solo work. His solo +album The Golden Scarab is my pick for one of the most criminally +underrated albums of all time. + +** Robin Trower + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: robin-trower + :END: +Many people call him a Jimi Hendrix copy but he they are wrong. While +there are crossovers he does have his own style that is different From +Jimi. His old albums, new albums... are all master pieces. He only +continues to age like wine and is still making new music to this day +without selling out or sounding dated. + +** Jimi Hendrix + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: jimi-hendrix + :END: +This list isn't complete without him. Jimi is like Santa, Jesus, Abraham +Lincoln... its a requirement you know who he is. Just take a look at +every artist after he got big. Jimi's greatness leaked into all music. +His influence can't be stopped by any granfalloon borders. His influence +quickly leaked into even countries that were cultural isolated from the +west. Check out Super Djata Band to see what I mean.\\ +\\ +Most places say he died from overdose but that is a lie! He was murdered +by his manager who was upset that Jimi wanted to take a break from fame +and focus on himself instead. + +** Babe Rainbow + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: babe-rainbow + :END: +A fun little viby modern psychedelic band. Also one of the few modern +bands that have well put together albums not just great singles but +shitty albums. There music is fun to listen to and a good choice to +bring you out of a bad mood. + +** Levitation Room + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: levitation-room + :END: +Another great modern psychedelic band. I got to see them live once. The +way their guitarist plays finger style really caught my eye. I often +have their songs stuck in my head even if I haven't heard any of their +stuff for months and I don't even realize its them until I listen to +them again. + +** Sugar Candy Mountain + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: sugar-candy-mountain + :END: +Its one of those great bands I forgot that exists but when I run into +their music again it always brings me great joy. + +** King Gizard and the Lizard Wizard + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: king-gizard-and-the-lizard-wizard + :END: +A very unforgotable name indeed. You may not like some of their music +but they fill quite a bit of area so don't give up on them so fast. A +lot of their songs feel a bit gimmicky for my taste but still a great +band. + +** The Black Angels + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: the-black-angels + :END: +Good skateboarding music. Heavy and dark. Very nice indeed.\\ +Update: *FINALLY GOT TO SEE THEM LIVE* Very good band to see live. +101 out of 99. + +** Strawberry Alarm Clock + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: strawberry-alarm-clock + :END: +Its just pure 60's psychedelic extract. They got viby stuff what more +can I say. + +** Frank Zappa + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: frank-zappa + :END: +Go check out Frank Zappa. Thats a threat. + +** The Beatles + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: the-beatles + :END: +/The Beatles exist/ + +* Progessive + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: progessive + :END: +** Gentle Giant + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: gentle-giant + :END: +A band very few know of yet it has a cult following. They are a must for +any prog rock fans. They mix in so many sounds and really push the +limits of rock in a way even other prog bands never did. I may even dare +call them my favorite prog rock band. + +** Camel + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: camel + :END: +Another prog band nearly no one knows about. Go listen to their album +Moonmadness right now. Thats a requirement! + +** The Moody Blues + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: the-moody-blues + :END: +Its commonly believed that they started prog rock. They are known for +their big sound and use of classical music theory. I already called +Gentle Giant my favorite prog rock band so I am going to call The Moody +Blues my favorite prog pop band. Many people don't know that prog pop +actually exists and prog pop is what The Moody Blues is. Go listen to +The Moody Blues right now! Some of their albums are a bit slow going but +thats because they are carefully created works of art. Their most well +known album Days of Future Passed is said to be one of the greatest +concept albums of all time. + +** King Crimson + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: king-crimson + :END: +They are very commercially successful for prog standards. How could you +not like a band with a name like that! + +** Van der Graaf Generator + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: van-der-graaf-generator + :END: +They sound almost early Genesis. They have a strange natual darkness +that always stands out to me. + +** Hatfield & The North + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: hatfield-the-north + :END: +I really dig their album The Rotters club. That album has a special +place in my heart and is easily one of my favorite albums of all time!!! +Wanta hear the crazy story behind it? There isn't one, I just really dig +it. + +** Emerson, Lake & Palmer + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: emerson-lake-palmer + :END: +The band was started by a few law firm owners. You believed me didn't +you? They actually just have a boring name. Their music isn't boring so +go check them out! Also a lot of people hate this band for no reason. + +** Caravan + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: caravan + :END: +Most of these bands are British but this one is the most British. Your +welcome. + +** Magma + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: magma + :END: +They write concept albumns about a race of aliens called the Kobaïan. +The lanauge they sing in is the lanauge the Kobaïan speak so not very +many people actually know what they are singing about. Yes, the aliens +are real. + +** Yes + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: yes + :END: +One of the first prog bands I got into. Don't let their commerical +success scare you away. They are indeed very wonderful. + +[[file:images/tiny_lain.gif]] + +** Can + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: can + :END: +The greatest Krautrock band of all time. tbh its one of those bands I +really need to listen to more. + +** Amon Duul II + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: amon-duul-ii + :END: +Another great Krautrock band. They have a bit heavier sound than Can. + +** Pink Floyd + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: pink-floyd + :END: +Pink Floyd is not a prog rock band. + +* Funk + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: funk + :END: +** Parliament Funkadelic + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: parliament-funkadelic + :END: +The funkest band in the list. More funk than you can handle! p-funk is +some pretty strong stuff. Its lethal. Its actually two bands but its +members kept going back and forth and they forgot were each band started +and ended. + +** Sly and the Family Stone + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: sly-and-the-family-stone + :END: +A vey influential funk band ineed. They were mixed race and gender, and +they were an important part of the civil rights movement. Also their +single Thank You is the first song ever released with slap bass which +was played by Larry Graham. + +** Graham Central Station + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: graham-central-station + :END: +Larry Graham created it so that means its 100 percent funk. Larry Graham +is the enbodiment of funk so anything he touches gets turned into pure +100 percent organic funk. + +** Cymande + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: cymande + :END: +This one is quite different than any of the funk bands on this list and +really is its own thing. Their name is a calypso word for dove which is +a symbol of peace and love. You can hear the peace and love in their +music and it flows into the ear and through rest of body. This is a band +that truly transforms their geist into energy and vibrations for rest of +the world to hear. + +** Lafayette Afro Rock Band + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: lafayette-afro-rock-band + :END: +Another band that is so funky its lethal! They were not that well known +during their time recording but have gained much more of a following +now. Do check them out if you think you can handle so much funk! + +** Average White Band + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: average-white-band + :END: +Its hard to believe a bunch of white dudes can get so funky but they did +and its real funky! + +** Jaco Pastorius + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: jaco-pastorius + :END: +Jaco Pastorius is one of the greatest bassists of all time. He played +for Weather Report and released some really funky solo work. + +** Billy Cobham + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: billy-cobham + :END: +Billy Cobham is one hell of a drummer. He played for Miles Davis and +Mahavishnu Orchestra. You need to listen to his solo work now (thats a +threat). He also had influence on many prog artists including King +Crimson. + +** Shuggie Otis + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: shuggie-otis + :END: +His dad had a band and personally knew many very well known artists so +Shuggie grow up around them and learned guitar at a very young age. He +played in his dads band as a little kid and they would make him dress +like a old man so they could sneak him into bars to play with the band. +As he got older he got countless offers from some really big artists to +play in their band but he gave them all up and instead produced his own +albums and remained a small artist so he could make the music he wanted +to make. + +** Janko Nilovic + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: janko-nilovic + :END: +Holy fuck I forgor this dude existed for a while but dam his music is +funky! + +** Eddie Hazel + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: eddie-hazel + :END: +The first lead guitarist for Funkadelic. His Hendrix like playing is +very badass. He is known for his guitar playing on Maggot Brain though +he also has a great solo album which became rare not long after its +release and is often not talked about much to this day. + +** Gil Scott-Heron + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: gil-scott-heron + :END: +As of writting this He is an artist I discovered more recently. I dig it +so far. He writes songs that are political which is quite based. + +** Mandrill + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: mandrill + :END: +Not really my favorite funk band but still funky. And funky is good. + +* Japanese stuff + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: japanese_stuff + :END: +They get their own section even though not all this artists play the +same style because 1: this list is going to get messy, 2: they are +better than the other artists, 3: some of these artists I discovered +like yesterday or an hour ago as of writing this so I don't know what to +say. + +** Kikagaku Moyo + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: kikagaku-moyo + :END: +The best psychedelic band of all time. *THE BEST.* You will be ruined +for all other psychedelic music once you hear them. Sadly they broke up. + +** The Pillows + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: the-pillows + :END: +Best known for making the soundtrack for FLCL. Go watch FLCL (thats a +threat). Their music is killer and I dig it. + +** Ginger Root + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: ginger-root + :END: +Ginger Root is the bomb. I got to see them live and let me tell you it +was easily one of the best artists I have ever seen live. So much +energy!!! + +** Pacific album + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: pacific-album + :END: +This album was made by multiple artists. Its one of the best albums I +have ever listen to. Good music for when skateboarding around town +buzzed on kratom on a clear warm day without a single worry in sight. + +** Unsorted short but ever growing list of Japanese artists + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: unsorted-short-but-ever-growing-list-of-japanese-artists + :END: +- T-SQUARE +- Masayoshi Takanaka +- Naniwa Express +- Casiopea +- Haruomi Hosono +- Shigeru Suzuki +- Tatsuro Yamashita + +* Jazz + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: jazz + :END: +Jazz is about the best music. A lot of this is more on the fusion side +btw (: + +** Allan Holdsworth + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: allan-holdsworth + :END: +My pick for greatest guitarist of all time. This dude learned guitar +himself and jesus mother fucking christ he can play. Not only can he +play fast but we can still play with at least as much geist as Jeff +beck, play the most harsh finger breaking far apart scales, all while +leaving Joe Satriani and Steve Vai in the dust. *Guitar was his side +hobby.* His main thing we brewing. Dam this fucker got a hell ton of +autism. + +** Mahavishnu Orchestra + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: mahavishnu-orchestra + :END: +People will think your crazy if you tell them to check out this band, +people will think your crazy if you rock out to this. But its the bomb. +It showed me a side of music I haven't gone into before than. I was +listening to Led Zeppelin and that shit before I discovered the depths +of fusion and prog waiting for me. The best parts of life is when you +discover something new and fall deep into the depths of a rabbit hole. +Thats when the world opens up and you start to think differently and +open your mind. Thats why its good to try new things. I wouldn't be who +I am today without that push from Mahavishnu Orchestra. They are a +different breed of jazz fusion than the stuff most fusion fans are use +to. Its much harsher and almost meaner. they dis into parts of the geist +other artists stay far away from. + +** Miles Davis + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: miles-davis + :END: +You jazz peeps already know Miles Davis. If your a song writer of any +style that haven't checked out Miles yet give him a try. His music is a +good example of how to use space in music to open things up and close +them down. Compare his works and you will see what I mean. While I +haven't dug into his stuff much I really dig his album Bitches Brew. Its +very different than the smooth easy on the ear stuff people often think +of when it comes to Miles Davis. Its closer to Mahavishnu Orchestra. + +* Rock/Alt/Punk + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: rock_alt_punk + :END: +** Talking Heads + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: talking-heads + :END: +*You need to listen to the Talking Heads.* Now, its a requirement. Its a +funky silly litte band. The front man David Byre is rocking with autism +so its a given its going to be a good band. There is no band that sounds +anything like them. They have no right to be as funky as they are! + +** Ween + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: ween + :END: +A wonderful little silly band. Best known for their album The Mollusk +which influenced the creation of SpongeBob Squarepants. *If it +influenced SpongeBob so it gotta be good!* They have other great music +though that album really stands out to me. This silly little SpongeBob +album is somehow one of the greatest pieces of music of all time! It can +easily compare to the prog and fusion stuff on this list. The mood +changes quickly but in a very musical way that paints an entire +landscape of many different colors. + +** Morphine + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: morphine + :END: +A really wonderful little treo. Their front band Mark Sandman plays a +bass with only 2 strings tuned in 5ths and he plays it with a slide, +their saxophonist Dana Colley can play two saxophons at once, and their +drummer is just a total vibe. + +** Joy Division + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: joy-division + :END: +This band reminds me of my CS teacher who had a bow tie and worked at a +standing table with borderline too many monitors plugged into a little +mac book. Every morning when I walked in normal music was never playing, +it was often a mix of alt rock and EDM that was quite fitting for a +programming class. He gave everyone rubber ducks so we can have an +inanimate object to use to ask for help. He always called himself a +lizard person and was a Doctor Who fan. I assume this is a universal +experience and everyone had a CS teacher like this. He must have been a +standard issue factory made CS teacher because if a mad man with a bow +tie who jams out to Joy Division isnt your average CS teacher I dont +know what is a average CS teacher. + +** The Clash + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: the-clash + :END: +One of the first bands I really got into. I listened to them a lot when +I was first learning guitar. They got a good sense of humor to. + +** Ramones + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: ramones + :END: +When I was little one of my sisters friends had a dad who was a fan of +the Ramones. He gave me a data disk full of pirated music which included +a lot of stuff by the Ramones. I instandly became a Ramones fan. I dont +listen to them much lately but they will always have a place in my +heart. + +** Dr.Feelgood + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: dr.feelgood + :END: +This is a mean ass band. Their music was a rebellian against the prog +rock and glam rock music that was becoming big at the time. Pub rock +bands like Dr.Feelgood went fuck it all and instead played mean raw +drunken rock n' roll. This is the kind of music I listen to when +skateboarding or when I need to get shit done. + +** ACDC (Bon Scott era) + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: acdc-bon-scott-era + :END: +I know what your thinking /its that band with songs that always sound +the same and has sore throat sounding vocals/. Well they were not always +like that. In their early days they had a better vocalist: Bon Scott. +And they fucked around with different sounds a lot more.\\ +\\ +These are the Bon Scott era albums: + +- High Voltage +- TNT +- Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap +- Let There Be Rock +- Powerage +- Highway to Hell + +Powerage and Let There Be Rock are my favorites out of all of them. +Powerage was my first CD I ever got and I keep going back to it all the +time. Its their best album by far. RIP (rock in pleace) Bon Scott. + +** ZZ Top + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: zz-top + :END: +I dont listen to them much anymore but they had a big influence on my +guitar playing. One of my favorite albums by them is Tejas. Its a very +underrated album. I dig the darker more ambient tone of Tejas. Also go +listen to their first album. Its completely killer! + +* Other + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: other + :END: +** Jeff Beck + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: jeff-beck + :END: +While many think Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist of all time many +more enlighted people pick Jeff Beck. Not that Jimi is bad or anything +but holy fuck Jeff Beck can really play guitar. He puts soooo much geist +into his music and makes the guitar sing in a way no one else can. I +still have my own pick for greatest guitarist though. + +** Tipsy + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: tipsy + :END: +I was in a music store with some friends and one of their records was +playing in the store. Later, I wished I bought it so I went back and +they no longer had the record. They don't have very much released and +seem to be dead. They don't seem to have much of a following and they +website is down. You can find it +[[https://web.archive.org/web/20130826202218/http://tipsy.org/][here]] +on the wayback machine. + +** Messer Chups/Messer Fur Frau Muller + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: messer-chupsmesser-fur-frau-muller + :END: +A russia band I discovered recently as of writing this. I dig them so +far but I haven't checked out much of their stuff. + +** Silver Apples + :PROPERTIES: + :CUSTOM_ID: silver-apples + :END: +They are a electric band that uses DIY synths made from miltary surplus +radio gear along with other shit. Not really something I would care to +jam to much but still a good band. + +[[file:images/tiny_lain.gif]] [[file:images/tiny_lain.gif]] +[[file:images/tiny_lain.gif]] [[file:images/tiny_lain.gif]] +[[file:images/tiny_lain.gif]] |
