Yes, good music is good music...And many of my issues with Dave lie with the fans (and only one part of them) It's true, not fair to knock an artist based on some large body of fans...I've mentioned why musically I have come to think Dave has gotten worse of the years, but anyway, until I have more constructive criticism of Dave's music, I'll try to isolate comments to fans...in jest mind you.
As far as bands I think are good--(I do like Postal Service as well)...if you want to check out artists with lots of instruments going on, though not as virtuostic playing and Jamming, The Arcade fire is great, as well as Andrew Bird.
IDM stuff I like: Aphex Twin Boards of Canada Squarepusher
Rock: The Arcade fire Bloc Party (currently) Momus Guns N Roses - older sound
But mostly, being a DJ, I tend to have loads music from just about every genre, and my preferences tend to have evolved from the standard Album format to music I prefer to mix, either overtop of each other, or one after the next.

yes, he is (richard D James AKA Aphex Twin). At one concert he had these people in enormous bear costumes doing each other doggy style while he poured acid all over a turntable doing some crazy slap-bass.
Check out these songs--I'm sure you'll like them (if you don't have them, that is):
Boy Girl Song -- real cool mix of classical and intense drum and bass Windowlicker -- download this video--it is crazy--you will like it! 4 Vordhosben -- f-ing AMAZING beat structure...completely inverted music--the drums and bass become the tangible melody, while the melodic instruments become the drums and bassline.

I've been big on Aphex Twin since about '95. He's definitely mt guy for break beats and ambient stuff. Check out tracks: girl/boy song, IZ-US, Bucephalus Bouncing Ball, Alberto Balsalm, Flim (which the jazz trio 'The Bad Plus' does a great cover of), and Goon Gumpas. Great shit.
Ever listen to Underworld, HotKoreanGirl? I've been a fan of them for a while as well.

I am pretty sure it was 'Born Slippy' on the TS soundtrack. "Drab boy, dark boy, dirty numb angel boy, in the doorway boy..."etc.
Yah, the whole Dubnobasswithmyheadman album is very good. For singular tracks, check out Stagger, Cups, Push Upstairs, Cowgirl, M.E., and there's a maxi single of Pearl's Girl, called the Pearl's Girl EP, there are some awesome mixes of Pearl's Girl on there, notably the 'Tin There' Edit. |

ah yes, that song...I sort of like that too...I was actually thinking of the song (I guess it's not from the trainspotting soundtrack) that keeps repeating "You bring light in, you bring light in"...the video is this guy dancing around in a shallow pond...kind of funny. Lots of energy there. Pretty simple song but real catchy--awesome to mix into a dance set. |

Yah, they have a DVD out called 'Everything, Everything.' They really know how to get a crowd going...well, used to, I think they've since disbanded after their 'Hundred Days Off' Album.
I think I mentioned 'The Bad Plus' before. They are fucking great. Their first album is called 'These Are the Vistas.' BUY IT. |

I think some of electronic music is hard to get into...I actually didn't like aphex at first--trance music was the gateway for me into that realm, because it is so simple and obvious. Basically went trance into psytrance--I forgot to mention infected mushroom...that's some israeli psycadelic trance if you didn't know about them...they are basically the hottest thing in Israel right now, and the hottest thing in the psytrance world...saw them in new york city live. The music is very accessible but very complex...Actually--people who like infected I would consider actual Neo-hippies...it's no longer rock (although they do sample guitars occasionally)...if you look at the pictures of people who travel to see them, it looks like they are wearing 60's hippie clothing (and many of them using the same drugs, and sharing the same peace message) except the music is so DARK DEEP INTENSE and always GOING SOMEWHERE. I'd like to see them in India sometime on the beaches of Goa--I hear that's unbelievable...super inexpensive living, gorgeous, undeveloped beaches, and lots of people just partying listening to amazing music...and not the frat boy, volkswagon, bud-light, abercrombie and fitch types. |

HotKoreanGirl could be an old fat bald man seeking out little kids for his sick twisted fetishes. Therefore, this message board is his hunting grounds. He could be pulling a Michael Jackson. Naaaa, surely HotKoreanGirl is just that.... a hot Korean girl.

dude, xbox---I just can't get into it. There are no games I like. Halo is ok--but I really don't like it--there are far better first person shooters..why does halo get so much damn praise...it's like fucking dave matthews! So what if the xbox has more power than all the other consoles. Who cares if Dave Matthews musicians can play well and are highly skilled...the music altogether is homo. Anyway--unreal tournament is a far better 1st person shooter than halo...or try counter strike...stay the hell away from fucking microsoft (damn, I wish I didn't have to use autocad, otherwise I'd switch to linux or a mac--although mac quality has gone down.
Wow, that was quite a rant...where do I get all these negativity from? |

I think this thread may go down in history... Protoss kick ass, nothing beats a hotkey of fully upgraded and cloaked carriers, with a second lurking in the shadows... my favorite tactic. HTG, do you surf the web all day for pictures of beautiful women or what? 'Cause whenever we need one, you seem to have one in a jiffy.

Agreed about the protoss...the only problem is when I play on Battle.net, I can't seem to get the carriers built and upgraded fast enough. So, I'll have like 6 of them with one Arbiter and a detector--but then people bring the heat with other stuff. But, yes, if you have cloaked carriers--12 of them, with another 12 waiting around, you're pretty much set as long as you don't get raped by a science vessel EMP shockwave, and then raped in the butt-hole by various enemies as all your shields are down.

Thats true, thats true. But the PS2 and GameCube versions look no where near as good as there X-Box counter part.
And speaking of Star Craft, what a great game. I was never any good online, but Terrans all the way.
And Muskrat, here you go good sir -

the only difference that means anything between splinter cell for xbox and splinter cell for ps2 is that the xbox has less frame rate trouble. and that's not even a big issue. |

If Dave Matthews played a video game, what would it be?
If you could make a dave Matthews videogame, what would it be? |

I think that's pretty obvious. It'd be beer pong. Championship beer pong, and the more you score, the more money you win to buy weed, which of course, in this game, is an enhancement drug that enhances your abilities to aim for the cups.
Something like this: http://www.bpong.com/game/index.php |

sweet game man! Are you sure Dave knows how do use a computer though? Otherwise, yes, I admit that is probably the best suited game for dave--involving dave or for him to actually play. I'd kick dave's ass in beer bong...I think that's obvious to everyone here. |

It would be called "Take thread to a Dave Matthews message board, please."
If you want to change your question to if TIM played a video game, etc., I'm sure lots of people would love to play. |

Tim vs. dave at beer pong. Tim would probably win...Dave would be too busy trying to make muppett sounds while throwing the ball. |

Ah yes--LOTR could be a little over Dave's head, don't you think? But then, there is the other versian of LOTR--the one where Gandalf says to Strider "yes, Strider, we shall now be onto ROE-HANNN where we will download PORRRN, or perhaps Minas Tirith, where were shall become lords of Porn Downloading!" "the object of the ring, is to control all the Porrrn of middle earth...thus we must destroy it, before Sauron gets it and uses it to download all the Porn in existence.

I've heard that silmarillion has been compared to the bible...the style it is written--It has been awhile since I read it...like old testament style...any opinions on that? |

I would agree with that. There are so many lineages in the beginning to keep track of. And, I may be alone in thinking this, but the Old Testament rules. So many great and interesting stories. Even if you don't believe they happened, they make some great reading. |

the first part of the silmarillion, called the valaquenta, is the story of the creation of middle-earth and of the ainur, the valar and maiar which may be thought of as greek gods/archangels. that is written in the matter of the old testament. but the the further you read, it gets less bible-like and more a collection of stories that are intricately woven (the silmarils and feanor's oath being part of every story) and dependent on one another. it creates the history referred to sometimes in lotr. some of the characters in lotr are in silmarillion, too. galadiel, balrogs, and elrond for example. reading it after lotr makes everything so magnificantly complete, you wonder how he managed to create something so complex, intruiging, and coherent. |

You are certainly not alone, my good man. David vs. Goliath, Noah's Ark, Jonah, Samson, Adam & Eve, Jacob & Esau, Joseph, Moses, Abraham, Job, Esther, Solomon, and so on and so on... beats the heck out of the Greek and Roman myths in my opinion. Could be because I do believe they happened. |

I don't think they are better than Greek myths ( I happen to be a huge fan of those as well ) just different. If I want cool monsters, I'll turn to Greek or Norse mythology. |

hahaha, you know me.
i like that story because, as far as mythology (pardon the term, couldn't think of a different one) is concerned, i like those stories that deal with interactions between the gods, or between angelic beings and god, and strife and relationships among them. i find the bit in the valaquenta about melkor's rebellion against the themes of iluvatar and his subsequent fall really interesting. actually, i like the whole valaquenta. the histories, powers and nature of each vala and what few maiar are mentioned. i guess i look at lucifer's fall the same way. |

it's pretty crazy these epic stories being retold through movies--LOTR, now Chronicles of Narnia...I heard for awhile they were going to make a Dragonlance series as well, but I guess that fell through the cracks. It is crazy how much of D&D stuff comes from Norse Mythology. I was doing a little reading on it and was shocked at how similar the stuff is. Man.
Dave Matthews = Gully dwarf. Dont tell me anyone here seriously likes his new song "American Baby"

I like the last part where he stops singing and the little jam occurs. But it's all I can do to suffer through the lyrics. |

exactly, like where did all his genuine passion go--like the passion showed in "these crowded streets"...it's like so many other artists who get big and then sell out, and then in dave's case, it's like after he sold out he decided to become something even further from anything I could imagine him...like a really lame indie rock sound--I feel like his band needs to use their great technical skills to craft some sexy, complicated music again. Needs to get more progressive and be not such a poo-poo head. |

Solomon Buddy...where did you go? Do you still like Dave Matthews? Are you a cute guy? Are you hiding from me? Do you ever check this post? Are you avoiding me?
BTW HTG, those were good Pics...I'm sort of into women as well...if you have any more, gladly post them |

i was so furious when they dropped the dragons of autumn twilight option. i love dragonlance only slightly less than lotr. i wish someone would do the twins trilogy for film. though i can't think of anyone good enough to play raistlin. |

dude, you read all the pimpinist books, I am impressed...wow--yes they would need one bad-ass guy to play Raistlin...the way he is drawn on the book covers would be hard to find in an actor...I sort of Think Jonny Depp might do a good job--I say this based on the way he played doc holiday in that movie "tombstone"...a frail, sarcastic, smart guy. Not so sure he would sound good uttering magical words...what do you think? |

Sorry buddy, you'd better check out IMDB again. It definitely was not Depp as Doc Holiday but Val Kilmer. And it's one of the only good Val Kilmer movies, but yes, he was a badass as Doc Holiday. |
