I like more neo soul than I expected, They ain't Marvin Gaye or Al Green, and they're a lot more suburbia, but they're talented.
That is good to know. I find it really difficult to find anything modern that I like, a lot of it is hidden amongst overplayed crap and independent crap.

I had a few records. Then -- get this, because then (as a little now) I can get off by being a little weird -- I did collect a few 8-Tracks while the medium was disappearing because they seemed like foreign objects from space at the time.
A part of me always wished I had been old enough to have 8 tracks. I don't even think my mother had them anymore, we were mainly a record and cassette family until CDs.

CD's suck. All the ones I have in my car have started to skip from being thrown around and scratched by my handbrake turns.

MP3 is where it's at. Or the radio.

So this friend of mine came over to my place to brag about his new armani suits. The best part was pointing out the fact that they're actually knock off armany suits. That made my day.:D

The delineation between different types of "rock" music is gay
The delineation, or the act of naming the delineations? Because the differences and groupings are pretty obvious sometimes no matter what.

Modern indie rock and it's commercialisation within the high-street fashion cartel is the gayest on planet earth since Emos.
Back in my grandpa day, "emo" meant things like -- which was a very different musical style and approach than the garbage that came after it and later commandeered the label. So when people say "emo", I know what they mean. But I also know they really don't have a clue as to what was originally called emo. (Just look at the YouTube comments on the linked video.)

A part of me always wished I had been old enough to have 8 tracks. I don't even think my mother had them anymore, we were mainly a record and cassette family until CDs.
I was probably not technically old enough to have 8-tracks, but that was part of the appeal at the time. :p

Yeah, but you do realize MP3s are a compressed, lossy format with much crappier sound quality, yes? I spit out my beer every time I see some car company like BMW advertising their "futuristic, top-of-the-art mp3 player" in their autos, thinking how they basically take audio quality a step back into the early 1970s.

Sad thing is that I loved the sound quality of records more than any other format, there's just something about it.

:lol: Oh, that's good... in a Streets of Hong Kong kinda way.

First impressions of Rage for Order: not impressed.
Give it time and listens. The good stuff of theirs is rarely immediate.
