hi. this is my music page. here you'll find out what i think of some of my fave bands, info and links. read on...
beastie boys. these guys rock. they are the best hip-hop/funk/break-beat guys out there. if you've only heard their more famous stuff, be sure to check out their "pre-famous" days. look out for "some old bullshit", its their hardcore stuff. most cool. also, look out for the "aglio e olio" ep, which although recorded in '95, harks back to the hardcore days. very nice. make sure you buy their anthology cd, "the sounds of science". official sites: http://www.beastieboys.com and: http://www.grandroyale.com
minor threat. ok, these guys are no longer around, but you can pick up their whole discography fairly cheaply. i know that www.amazon.co.uk has it for around £9. they were a straightedge hadcore band and they broke up in the early '80's. ian mackaye, the lead singer went on to form fugazi, who are still around today, i believe. however, i feel that they don't really do minor threat the justice that it deserves. although they don't look like it from their picture, minor threat probably were the greatest hardcore band ever. websites: finding an official site is proving dificult. however just do a search for minor threat and see what you come up with. here's a good site. http://www.southern.com/southern/band/MTHRT/
sonic youth. these guys are cool. they hit the lime light with the birth of the seattle grunge scene, although i think they were doing their thing before that. i'm more of a fan of their earlier stuff, like "daydream nation" and "dirty". i especially liked their appearance in the simpsons. nice. official website: http://www.sonicyouth.com
the beat band. these guys are probably my most played music right now. get their cds. official website: http://www.betaband.com
ladytron. quite possible the best band out there at the moment. they come under the umbrella of electroclash, but strongly deny any links with this type of music. click on the picture on the left for a bigger picture...recommended. the best.
looper. i love this group. their lyrics are quite sinmply beautiful. very reminiscent on plaid, only better. www.looperama.com
