Tried looking for Ace Creator's solo album but I couldn't find it on waffles. Other than that I haven't checked out anything. also jeez EARL is so h@rdc0re compared to what I'm used to. Every song is rape or murder. This isn't MF DOOM.

other pieces which actually at times show glimmers of tonality, so I think it's a good way to get into Schoenberg - not to say I'm completely into Schoenberg, I'm still very new to him). But yeah, there's a ton of other composers who I haven't yet listened to enough to recommend like Bartok or Janacek or Webern or Berg or whoever else, so I guess that's up to yr personal exploration. cheers

to be honest, I'm not that knowledgeable about classical yet, but that's why I decided it's time to get knowledgeable. I don't know much about baroque era stuff yet so I'm unsuitable to make recommendations as far as that goes. The first classical album I liked was Chopin's Nocturnes performed by Maurizio Pollini, and I think they're widely liked and a good start to get into classical. I know a little bit more about 20th century classical. Mahler's Fifth is generally considered a rather important piece, and then Debussy's Preludes are rather good too, especially when viewed as a stepping stone to the new tonalities explored later on in the century. I've been liking Ravel's piano works. Stravinsky's Rite of Spring is hella important. I'm also very partial to Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians and his piece entitled "Drumming". And if you're feeling adventurous you can check out Schoenberg's Pierrot Lumiere (the recording I have is conducted by Robert Craft and contains a few of his

Oh, in that case I'm probably too familiar with both of the vocalists then. Also, probably the most successful/awesome Estonian punk song is this. The song was written in the 80s, recorded in 2002 I believe. Lyrics are soamewhat surreal ("Tallinn is on fire....") and there's a fanmade video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzHYPNJ7vP4 Sadly I don't know of any Estonian Soviet-era punk (or any) bands that wrote music in English. Not sure if it was even allowed back then, those would've been harder to overview by the Estonian-Russian establishment and censor if necessary. I also didn't mention that I got stuntman do buy a JMKE album with his iTunes gift card which makes me the best independent music manager ever >_>

Decent, I've seen better. Doesn't compare to the American/US punk scene in my opinion. My guitar instructor, who is actually acquainted (small nation, punkers know punkers) to this vocalist, said he had almost worshiped the DK. That being said, I don't think he sounds at all like Biafra, so I was just lucky Alice was drunk or something. I'd rate his songwriting skills to that of an Estonian Jello though. This video was taken in Finland and the subtitles are in Finnish. Ignore them and ignore the english translation in the comments because it's a very bad one. The lyrics are very specific about the 1980s Soviet regime and its influences on Estonia and there is no way in hell you'd understand them even if you spoke Estonian.

Well the first song I heard was Holiday in Cambodia, first in Rock Band (lol), I didn't really think much of it, but then I once showed Alice (from XGen) a video of an Estonian punk band and (s)he said, "Sounds like an Estonian Jello Biafra" and I was like "sounds like an Estonian who?" Anyways, being a foreigner and all, I rarely understand or even try to understand the lyrics when I first listen to a song and I found the song (the single version) overall fucking awesome and didn't really consider his vocals weird. I have come to realize that guys like the band more than girls do. It's actually fucking ironic that most punk rockers were white straight males.

Okay. I have the Ziggy Stardust album because Suffragette City is my new favorite song (its creativity just stuns me, this shit is even a bit better than Holiday in Cambodia). Anyways, I like Moonage Daydream too. The rest of the album is okay, but nothing special to me. Do you know of any Bowie songs similar to Moonage Daydream or, preferably, Suffragette City? Would be awesome.

Nice. Already have a dream catcher (it actually kept away all dreams not just the bad ones) so I guess it's time for handgun. Then again, I'm currently borrowing my uncle's 'phones for a very limited time period of like half an hour, and these things are awesome. AAAAAAAAAH WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM!

Oh, that's the iPhone scrobbling thing. No matter when or in what order you listen to songs, it only remembers the timestamp of the last play of each song. Thus, if I listen to TFT twice, then Nigel three times and then TFT three times, it'll list the three Nigels and five TFTs in that order instead.
