Daft Punk - Get Lucky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NV6Rdv1a3I

Great song. It's not like Daft Punk's usual stuff, but it's damn good nonetheless. I'm very excited for their album. (also thanks for not posting that as an embedded link, this thread knackers my browser every time I visit it)

same here & I mostly visit the site on wii U or my itouch, definitely getting their album too.

Interesting to hear some new De La Soul. I don't think things ever improved on 3 Feet High and Rising, but they've always been alright.

Such a hard album to top though but I do love the concept album first serve they done last year.

WE'RE UP ALL NIGHT TO GET LUCKY

I'm up all night as I have a chronic sleeping disorder aggravated by an unsatisfying job with long, unsociable hours.

I just clicked on this thread to share that song, great stuff.

The new Talib Kweli album, Prisoner of Conscious.

Here's my current favourite tracks:

Simply beautiful. It takes a while to get going, but it is so worth it. The whole album is amazing.

This is such a dread filling track.  I love the way the composer worked in the females vocals at the two and a half minute mark when the intensity peaked, it really helped make the song gain even more momentum than it already had.

This track can simply be described as tragic.  One of those songs that tells a story, and it does so beautifully in my opinion.

If it sways anyone to give these a try, if you liked Xenoblades music this music was done by the guy hired for Monoliths X.  I would recommend trying it anyway, I'm not posting j-pop or something, I personally can't stand pop regardless of where it is from.  

Is it weird I wouldn't actually listen to music if this stuff didn't exist?  I just can't stand contemporary music outside the classics from the old eras that were before my time.

I'm blue, if I were green I would die.
It's on the radio right now

Been playing Aggressive Inline on the PS2, forgot about this gem on its soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SvDr3FHM9A

The whole soundtrack was brilliant! Reel Big Fish, Saliva, Sublime...yeah, brilliant!

Listening to this non-stop. Not really sure how I got this in my head, but it's downright ace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CAzwewVjZ0

Good heavens. This is outstanding. Click the link, then keep clicking David Hasselhoff's face.

Ooh that's excellent! Would kill for a 00s button, and an 80s button, natch.

An 00s button would be lovely, I'd actually know more of the songs!

Hollow Talk by Choir Of Young Believers. It's the theme tune to a Swedish/Danish police thriller called The Bridge that my girlfriend and I watched (we do love our Danish police stuff; curse you, The Killing!).

The new album Nobody seen nothing by Hector Bizerk, here's a few of their songs that aren't on the new album

This one has a video, but they have a whole album just search Star Bomb

I'm currently ploughing through the Ramones' back catalogue at the moment. They constructed some real earworm riffs.

Inbetween that, I'm also listening to some Fountains of Wayne. A truly underrated band.

I only know one of there songs and you can guess which one.

Stacey's Mom. *sigh*

And that's the problem.

I do know a few others like hey julie & sink to the bottom but had to look them up and go oh i know that unlike Stacey's Mum.

Hey Julie is a cracking song. Props for mentioning that one.

Talking about actual bands not show sure if you can call starbomb a proper band (link I posted), I've got some weird stuff on my phone. From Nena to Happy Hollows to She & Him, with loads in between it's a strange mix. And normally makes people at work depressed when born to die comes on.

My favourite Ramones song. (I'm sorry.)

I tend to listen to podcasts more than music, but I do listen to songs in the background while I do stuff sometimes. Normally the music I like is something I've heard in a film, tv show or game because its that emotional connection that pushes it the extra mile. For example, at the moment I'm listening to a lot of stuff from How I Met Your Mother like this, this and this as well as stupid stuff from the show itself like this and this.

  The irony there being that a Saturday morning cartoon theme tune is more complex that one of the band's regular songs.

I listen to music when out on the bike, out in the car or out walking. That's a fair bit of my spare time, and over the last couple of years in particular I've broadened my horizons a great deal. I never imagined a few years ago I'd need to buy a bigger iPod because I'd eventually max one out.

I've been listening to a crapload of music again recently, and I do believe I've stumbled upon an old Beatles song which I would happily declare as one of my new favourite songs of all time. I'm not particularly a huge Beatles fan, but a good song is a good song:
