Musical Education.

Who fucking needs lyrics you got got these bad boys in your ipods. But before I go any further, I think I need to tell you to listen to the entire thing. You may find it a little slow..but hey, everyone said The Godfather was a slow and boring movie didn't they. Patience is a virtue.

These aren't songs. They're marvelous compositions of music

Godspeed you! Black Emperor

Blaise Bailey Finnigan III A.K.A behemoth of musical genius.(the original is 17:45) The creator of this vid wanted to make a DBZ amv without putting the usual bland metal or mainstream rock plaguing many such videos. And I say he did a pretty good job. It builds up to a large cresendo with the Super Saiyans and all.


Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't even dare say its indie rock. There are too many "wannabe British" American "indie" bands nowadays. Its Post-rock or maybe even Prog-rock.

but I'm not discounting mainstream music here, by using a Jeremy clarksonesque analogy( if you ever watched top gear you'd understand), mainstream music, is like fried chicken wings. Tasty, yes but unhealthy and the you'd eventually get sick of the oil and fat. On the other end of the spectrum is the sophistication of...caviar. Exquisite, an acquired taste of sorts. Now I'd daresay prog-rock is caviar, with peanut butter. A taste even harder to acquire but a lasting aftertaste that sticks to you...a genre Which coincidentally also includes Muse.
