Scuba Steve's Most Excellent Playlist
Most of you don't really know me but for those that do, you know that the only thing that surpasses my obsession for all things water (Coral dominated aquariums, a water related business, water related PhD, competitive swimming, scuba diving... I can go on and on...) is my obsession for music. I don't know why but I really feel like starting a music thread to share some of the music I find with you all... After all, music is to the soul what water is to the body.
I know everyone has different tastes in music, so please don't go trashing me or others for liking particular songs. You'll find a fairly random assortment of music here, so hopefully there'll be something that tickles everyone's fancy. When I say my tastes broad, I can go from Heavy metal to classical to folk to electronic in single day. I'd like to update this daily, so please stop in for some new tunes. I will be away for two weeks in Maui after Christmas but I'll be back full time after that. I'd love to also hear some suggestions from others as I always love finding new music! Please PM me your recommendations as I'd like to keep the thread fairly clean and easy to follow. So to start this off with a bang I've got three additions for today! So tonight as I sit and sip my beer after a long, hard day I'm really feeling in the mood for something a little mellow: Damien Jurado - Ohio Dirk Powell - Waterbound Mumford and Sons - The Cave and a little somethin' to get the party started! Goon and Koyote - Wellness is Wild Enjoy! K |
I liked that Dirk Powell track thx.
Mellow: Red House Painters - Katy Song Dreamy: Slowdive - Alison Spacey and pretty: Dean & Britta - It Don't Rain in Beverly Hills |

Quote:
And I totally agree with you on that Cure album. One of my favs. Since you are a Cure fan you're going to hate this or love this but check out Crystal Castles - Not in Love feat. Robert Smith |
Haha that's awesome!
Not the Blonde... but yeah very cool spin on it =) |

First thanks to ScubaSteve for beginning this thread and for those who have revived it. I have already found some new favorites.
Steve - I thought this might be up your alley : Seasick Steve - Burnin' Up |
Doesn't get much sweeter than this. Album (III) is beyond words!

After celebrating not being dead in a fiery apocalypse for the past couple days (a rather libatious celebration mind you) I feel the need for MUZAK!
If ye be feeling mellow, I recommend taking one of these... Alt-J - Dissolve me If ye be feeling bouncy... Kishi Bashi - Bright Whites If ye be wantin' to turn the bass up like a boss, then have a go at this one... Dada Life - Happy Hands and Happy Feet And if that got ye warmed up, then give this one a spin... Bloc Party - Talons (Phones R.I.P. Remix) If ye be feelin' mixed emotions somewhere between gangsta rap and country, I suggest one of these... Hugo - 99 Problems If ye be wantin' something just awesome, give this a go... Flobots - Rise And the catchiest damn tune in town! (warning: you'll be humming this for a week)... Macklemore + Ryan Lewis - Thrift shop |
The new Wiz Khalifa album O.N.I.F.C is really really good.. He laid a couple eggs but most of the tracks are bumpin'. Highly recommend you listen to it front to back, as they seem to flow together.

Super Spacey, Big and Bass-y: Plastician - Japan Super groovy tune (which get bonus points for being a totally badass live performance): Jan Blomqvist - Something Says Cuz everyone loves space chicks: Only ones - Another Girl, Another Planet I'm pretty sure Alf was listening to this when he flew back home: Electric Light Orchestra - All over the world And if you just feel like having your brain melted: Mt. Eden - Sierra Leone http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...Commercial.jpg |

a bit girly i know, but this lady has some pipes. good to see some post rock! im pretty sure im one of only two people in red deer who listen to it. explosions in the sky definitely changed my life. heres some "this will destroy you", kind of a cross between GYBE and EitS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evAFuAMxrSM and something a little closer to home, from calgary if i were to guess id be the grizz would like this one, a little grittier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHpfAdrOy1I i saw someone posted some alt-j so ill post some more, its weird...but toe tapping. if Dr. seuss had made music, this is what it would sound like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npvNPORFXpc |
I hope these haven't been covered yet
After a nasty day at work, I like to crank stuff like this in my truck on the way home. It helps to blow off steam before I get home ... Thank you Alpine for making my ears bleed :twised: Cheap Trick - Gonna raise hell Max Webster - Battle scar |

Allman Brothers - Wipping post |

*@#$ ya, Friday! Time for another installment of sweet tunes to rock on into a wicked weekend!
To start, something a little mellow to get your mind off the week (as always, bass is mandatory): Major Lazer - Get Free (feat. Amber from Dirty Projectors) Vampire Weekend - Step Mellow? Good! Alright, let's get moving with something groovy: Foster the People - Helena Beat Now, let's ramp that energy up a bit (also recommended by fishytime)... Vampire Weekend - Diane Young Right, now let's kick it into gear with some Gypsy Punk! Gogol Bordello - Wanderlust King Now that we've got the body movin' with groovin' and dancing, let's work on the neck with some mothatruckin' headbangin'!: Rise Against - State of the Union Whew! Feelin' all limber? Good! Let's go for a pumpin' throwback to 80's rock. Check out this dude. Kicks some ass!: Twin Shadow - 5 Seconds Nice, we're almost ready for the weekend. Time to blow this $#%& up! Crank those speakers, pump up the bass (and, seriously, if you don't have the bass turned up you really need to get your life in order) and let's rock! Punch it, Chewie! Major Lazer - Jah No Partial http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y3/...-backwards.jpg |

People try to put us d-d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation) I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Excellent song, but they got old and haven't died (mostly) yet |
Well, it's been an absolutely epic flippin' day in my world, so let's celebrate with some muzak! E'erybody dance!
And because I must DANCE... I need somethin' super funky (this bass line is super sexy, silky): Malibu Sneakers - Get Down Again (Paul Rincon Remix) (It's a long intro so you'd be forgiven to go forward 30 seconds) Oh, baby! I got me hankerin' for some more groove! Platnum - Love Shy (Soul Avengerz Remix) I don't normally do Skrillex, but when I do I do this song (be a big kid and put that bass to max!) Foreign Beggars - Still Gettin' it (feat. Skrillex) Hmmm, I'm sensing a theme for the day: Head-bobbin' bass. Here's an oldy but a goody: Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood If there are any Stevie Wonder fans in the crowd, check out this remake. It builds to a total juggernaut of tune, so give it some time. The Revenge - Nightflight Now for a couple smashing tunes that might be a bit out of your comfort zones, but trust me on these. Give them a whirl and I promise you'll like them! Crystal Castles - Untrust Us Crystal Castles - Vanished And finally, this will just blow your mind! It's called Pow-wow Step (and no, I'm not F-ing with you). It's actually kinda catchy. A Tribe Called Red - Electric Pow Wow Drum Ah, that was good. Am I good the the night? http://cdn.iwastesomuchtime.com/Janu...ebackhere.jpeg |
