Charlie #2

Hey!

This post is kind of asking for some advice from readers! Every couple of weeks a group of us gather at Miles house for his famous (infamous) curry. This is where we have sophisticated conversations about music and culture of course! The table is often surrounded by famous local faces, Jakarta (the Rock band) are always present, members from All Guns Blazing (the Metal band) often show up as well! So there is a good mix of music tastes including my personal love of punk and Miles taste in alternative Metal. A music dvd is always put into the tv for some background sound and visuals. We try and choose stuff that all listeners will enjoy. Tim Armstrong's solo album dvd A Poets Life is usually the first to be played...a cool mix of punk rock (in which Tim made his name) as well as heavy reggae and dub influences. Its loved by most and often put on repeat due to popular demand! The other dvd is Beastie Boy's Awesome I Fuckin' Shot That! an insane dvd that I will not give to much away on because it deserves a much more in depth analysis. What we need is some new ideas, any cool music dvds people can recommend that would make good background sound and visuals?

Other stuff... new Soulfly Album out today : Omen! Another creation from Max Cavalera.

Next time or in the near future I want to talk about the new Deftones Album DIAMOND EYES
