The album features so many different artists and it's one that never made it mainstream.<div>Talib Kweli's amazing at freestyling and his lyrics are just even better when the song's well composed to be on a studio album. The album is somewhat of a conscious hip hop version of a concept album, from topics that most albums skip out on to feature and other aspects of a rapper's life are all included on the album. <i>Eardrum</i> is a reserved insight to the whole world of underground hip hop that's underrated and never played enough.</div><div>I've included the song "Listen!!!" which features amazing lyrics, a good beat, and samples that keep you wanting more.

It's somewhat of a mainstream loss, after the big radio and tv exposure that Kings of Leon got, this has suddenly struck them down and they're just in limbo. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YK42LQ?ie=UTF8&tag=usmanitycom-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B003YK42LQ">Come Around Sundown</a> won't be my recommendation for Kings of Leon music, listen to <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FXCE46?ie=UTF8&tag=usmanitycom-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B001FXCE46">Only By The Night</a> </i>if you want good music, listen to this only if you're ready to think different about their music.</div> <p></p><p><p><b>The End</b> by Kings Of Leon (6223 KB)<br/> <a href='http://www.usmanity.com/kings-of-leon-come-around-sundown' style='color: #bc7134;'>Listen on posterous</a></p></p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://www.usmanity.com/kings-of-leon-come-around-sundown">Usmanity</a> </p> </div>Muhammad!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14233806924147961404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495521078495110914.post-19033137619553002522010-10-08T23:02:00.001-07:002010-10-08T23:02:51.170-07:00Singing Great Folk Music, Mumford & Sons Bring Out the Best Of Folk Rock<div class='posterous_autopost'><p><span style="font-size: small;"><p><b>Thistle & Weeds</b> by Mumford & Sons (6436 KB)<br/> <a href='http://www.usmanity.com/singing-great-folk-music-mumford-sons-bring-o' style='color: #bc7134;'>Listen on posterous</a></p></span></p> <p><br /> Folk rock is a very specific genre if you're a music hungry soul looking for a better song each time. You'll be amazed how many artists suck when they attempt to make their indie band sound a bit folk and more punk. They claim to bring out a new sound, just because of that, I credit them for not learning the basics and attempting something stupid.<br /> In the past whole year, since about August of 2009, I've only heard about three folk albums which are worth listening to. And of course, it includes Fleet Foxes' self-titled album. It's not a common thing to find a great folk rock band and if you think you've found one, they end up being something very short-lived. <br /> Fortunately, the only folk album I've heard this year that's worth getting a positive five stars is Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More. The album is a true folk rock album. The elements are present with debut album excellence. There is a whole thought process that I felt I was going through when I heard the first few songs. <br /> Mumford & Sons' music was recommended to me just a few days ago and when I heard it, I was entertained. I still am listening to the album over and over because of its replay value. A highly well done album that brings sounds of Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, and some more together, the instruments are efficiently balanced.<br /> My favorite and most distinct notice from the whole album is the fact that the vocals sound excruciatingly like Andy Hull's from Manchester Or chestra.<br /> I've included my favorite song from the album. You ought to listen to the whole album and let me know if there's anything you like.</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://www.usmanity.com/singing-great-folk-music-mumford-sons-bring-o">Usmanity</a> </p> </div>Muhammad!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14233806924147961404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495521078495110914.post-18014008915221581712010-10-08T18:50:00.001-07:002010-10-08T18:50:55.997-07:00Andy Hull Releases A Free Demo<div class='posterous_autopost'><p><b>Rotten Black Root</b> by Andy Hull (8132 KB)<br/> <a href='http://www.usmanity.com/andy-hull-releases-a-free-demo' style='color: #bc7134;'>Listen on posterous</a></p><p>If you're a fan of Manchester Orchestra's <i>Fourteen Years of Excellence EP</i>, you'll love this song.

It's hard to imagine a band that's there but doesn't exist, or not. But their sound is there. It sounds like a complete mix of pop and punk rock. Some times, it slows down, the other it speeds up. The vocals are more understood when you're listening to it through headphones and you're not distracted. Most of them are about traveling, or at least that's how I felt about 'em. </p> <p class="p2"><br /></p> <p class="p1"><i>The Open Road</i> is the first album I've heard from the band and it's definitely a good "getting-into-album" for those looking for new music. You don't have to be a fan of punk, pop, rock, or any other genre to like it. It's a solid 3 stars and I can't find it any better for now. </p> <p class="p2"><br /></p> <p class="p1">The included song is a bit of everything that's composed together in the album.

It's a pretty balanced song, not the best or the worst song from the album for sure. The others are cool, I'm not sure what Justin's doing on this song.

Something about them just being limited in sound doesn't appeal to me. I often see blogs, sites, and artist groups which are only "local" in the sense that they're similar sounding and are in the same geographical area.<div> This isn't 1968, you're not limited by distance if you're creating music. If you're looking to collaborate, or even just broadcast your music. With the internet being the primary way for most people to communicate, your music doesn't need anything but a bit of a push for it to go ahead and be stream globally within seconds. </div> <div>And so this is what puzzles me why I ought to look for only local bands, I do like some local bands but I'd want to stay random in the sense that I don't need to be grounded with one location. And of course, if you're a reader, you can see the genres are also not the same, I'm a fan of a few umbrellas. </div> <div>Also, being indie and mainstream should not be a factor in your sound, it should just be an illusionary border. </div> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://www.usmanity.com/local-vs-global">Usmanity</a> </p> </div>Muhammad!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14233806924147961404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495521078495110914.post-42396381240737513602010-08-28T03:03:00.001-07:002010-08-28T03:03:29.434-07:00Where Is My Mind Covers, 17 Track Collective<div class='posterous_autopost'><p>Stream the mix right here:</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> <object height="120" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://8tracks.com/mixes/147899/player_v2" /> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="bg_color=_000000" /><embed src="http://8tracks.com/mixes/147899/player_v2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="120" flashvars="bg_color=_000000" width="100%"></embed> </object> </p> <p>It includes Placebo, Nada Surf, Kings of Leon, and some other surprisingly people covering it!</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://www.usmanity.com/where-is-my-mind-covers-17-track-collective">Usmanity</a> </p> </div>Muhammad!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14233806924147961404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495521078495110914.post-38367086499972279382010-08-28T01:23:00.001-07:002010-08-28T01:23:59.819-07:00Cover songs of "Where Is My Mind"<div class='posterous_autopost'>Most of today, I spent listening to cover songs of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixies">Pixies</a>' "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Is_My_Mind%3F">Where Is My Mind</a>".
