*opens the fridge the seventh time in an hour*

Brain: “No, close it. Close. It. You aren’t hungry. You are just bored.”

Me: “But...food...”

Brain: “NO.”

A bit more laid back this time. Some indie rock with a healthy measure of neo-soul and funk rock. (No, I do not know exactly what those labels mean; that is what the great and knowledgeable Wikipedia says—perhaps someone more knowledgeable that I could elaborate?)

Regardless, I just love lead singer Kevin Swaby's voice. Really goes well with The Heavy's big-band funk sound.

Done by ss2sonic on Deviantart. He is where I typically get my idea for what anthro looks like, for most of my stories. Except usually less exaggerated in their "proportions".

The picture above is relevant, to this:

They looked to one another, each of them seated on their thrones.

Some heavy metal and melodic metalcore from Trivium. I really enjoy their later albums (especially Silence in the Snow); tjeir vocals are smoother, less harsh "metal screaming" and more melodic overall. I know some fans decried the shift, but I certainly enjoy the new sound. Lead singer Matt Heafy has a pleasant enough voice and it is nice to be able to hear it when he is not screaming out his larynx.

Hey everyone, welcome back after a most interesting weekend! Well, maybe it was an interesting weekend for you, I certainly can't speak for all of you. Certainly it was an interesting weekend for those in Spokane, Washington, though, as they had to decide which the greater fire was: The massive, multi-acre wildfires burning up the forest? Or the conflagration downtown that was the Hugo Awards burning themselves to the ground to keep fiction ideologically pure?

In the latest review, enti0 said this:

So... back to the question at the start of this. 'Why? Why does this have so few views, when it's clearly had so much work put into it?'

Some silly, light-hearted steam-punk themed cabaret courtesy of The Cog is Dead. It is slightly dark, yet still jaunty and upbeat; think "Steam Punk MLP musical episode as directed and composed by Tim Burton"

A good, healthy dose of garage rock/blues rock here. This was actually the first band that introduced me to this genre and got me interested in it. Their earlier works have a deliciously raw blues sound that I absolutely love. Their later works veer more towards psychedelic; not necessarily bad, just different.

Dan Auerbach, the lead (and only) singer, released a solo album, so he is lumped in this list as well.

Bit of a repeat here as I have already posted this particular band in a blog post, but I will mention them again to make them part of the "official" list.

Some melodic death/industrial metal from Sweden. These chaps feature quite prominently in our various playlists on the production floor. I personally prefer their more melodic later works; they (IMHO) really seem to have hit their stride in Hail the Apocalypse.

Sometimes someone will be reading these silly little music blogs and suggest something new and incredible and excellent that I have never even heard of. This was one of those times.

Not mentioning any names, but there's a lot of people. Some of those people I even consider to be my best friends on here.

But... seriously. It's gotten to the point where I've considered taking a break from this site, if it weren't for the fact that I have stories to write (edit: to clarify, I write stories for myself. If I don't write, I go insane.) I shouldn't be arguing with some people and blocking others. A lot of you have no idea that you even frustrate me.

So my stories. Work on them at some point tomorrow or something.

Also, WWE MITB today was interesting.

Sheamus became Mr. Money In the Bank. Fuck him.

Nikki won, by DQ either way.

Disqualification with the match that Ryback and Big Show had for the intercontinental title (Ryback is champ to note).

Tag team changed and Prime Time Players are champ.

Seth Rollins beat Dean for his title in a ladder match.

Dur, also Kevin Owens lost to John Cena......3rd match activate.

Some more folkish music again. I do not know much about Trevor Green; there is a dearth of information out there on the internet concerning his band (as it seems to happen with these sort of bands), but I enjoy his work. He makes extensive use of didgeridoos in his songs which give it a unique flair.

Volbeat has come through again with their new album Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie.

An absolutely delicious mix of hard-rock and rockabilly, with a little gospel choir thrown into the mix. Seriously though, if you have enjoyed their previous works, you own it to yourself to purchase (save up if necessary!) this album.

Just wanted to say thanks guys and thanks to the other people who might not follow me but still liked the story. HAVE ALL THE PIES!

Something light and fluffy; pop with a measure of folk and a hint of jazz. Ebullient, cheerful, and upbeat, Lonely Drifter Karen always seems to bring a smile to my face whenever she pops up on my playlist

Now we start the actual "Music Sigawesome Likes" proper.

This is probably the "crown jewels" of my music collection; my #1, all time favourite band which I have purchased every CD they produced. Volbeat has a unique, distinctive sound that (to my inexperienced ears) sounds like 3 parts hard rock, mixed with two parts rockabilly with a little heavy metal mixed in for flavour; think old school Metallica and Elvis with a sprinkling of Johnny Cash.

Some modern neo-tango courtesy of Argentine composer Carlos Libedinsky and his band Narcotango. It certainly is interesting; imagine a fusion of traditional tango swirled in with some dubstep and house. Essentially tango as interpreted by Vinyl Scratch. All the steamy sultriness of tango with a seasoning of modern, electronic dance beats.

Some dance-rock/dance-punk style music from Glasgow. Significant Other actually introduced me to them a while back. Not something I typically would have listened to, but it certainly has an upbeat, energetic feel to it. Perfect for dancing flailing enthusiastically around the flat or jumping on the bed, singing into a hairbrush "microphone".
