^^The youtube embeds work if you put just the video ID in, which is the code after "v=", so: Tu8wjuEjE6M
That'll make it turn all fancy:
So I've been on a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge House binge lately. Well, pretty much binging on everything in the 130BPM ballpark
. Here are some of my favourite finds:
J Scott G Vs. Imprintz & Kloe - Return Of The King (Original Mix)
French House pays tribute to the pop icon with a Sonic Funk Attack on your aural senses. J'adore the sampling in this and when it hits I can't help but Mama-se mama-sa ma-ma-coo-sa along. Loudly...
Binmaker - Dat Nu Nu (Funkhameleon Remix)
I often venture into the Creative Commons section on Soundcloud, press play and let nature take its course. I'll be typing, mindmapping, whiteboarding, doodling, editing and then suddenly my ears start screaming at me to tab back into Chrome right now because oh my god what is this this is amazing my body it starts grooving eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
That's how I was introduced to Funkhameleon (Soundcloud). I craved more so I immediately started following this 18 year old bedroom producer. This particular remix manages to energize all the right neurons and I cannot stop listening to it.
He has tons of freely downloadable stuff if you want to get your funk on.
Cosmonaut Grechko - Youmi
Cosmonaut Grechko is another gem found while digging in the Soundcloud mountains. His sound is infectious, easygoing but manages to surprise even after dozens of plays. Perfect summer music, even when it's not summer
His track Headphone Girl forms the basis for my current big Pony project.

I've been listening to Pawn Hearts by Van Der Graaf Generator. It's an incredibly intense experience, by a band that's much jazzier than the average progressive rock group. "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" in particular is unlike almost anything else I've ever heard.

Been listening to a bunch of old Seattle grunge and getting nostalgical.
Can't go too wrong with Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder, can you?
Gruntruck are awesome and super underappreciated. I was going to go to see them way back in 2002 when they were doing a small reunion tour, but the lead singer went into a diabetic coma the night of the show. He came out of it, but the band never got back together and in 2008 his diabetes + a separate blood-clotting disorder finally finished him off.

Ooh, I'm a big Peter Gabriel fan! 
One of my favorite albums of his, actually, is Up, because so many of the compositions are just so damned pretty. And of course, old school Genesis will forever be one of my favorite bands.
Also, looking around at some of the other stuff on this page - I have never been the biggest grunge fan, but Gruntruck are pretty rad. I'm going to have to look into them.
And also I AM a pretty big fan of folk metal so I will have to add Skálmöld to my list.
And kudos to Ragnar for linking a pony song I actually like! Granted, it is of the "make instrumental track, call it pony" variety, but it is good and that's what matters.
Fake edit: Was reading through some of the earlier posts in the thread and saw Walkin Goon make a long post about Disillusion, who are awesome and pretty obscure. Holy crap, where have you gone, Walking Goon? Come back to this thread! I want to discuss musics with you!

Been on a bit of a Kinks kick (kinck?) as of late, and Waterloo Sunset is probably my favorite song of theirs. Such gorgeous lyrics and backing vocals. Gotta love the classics.
But also gotta love new electronic music. Siriusmo rules.

Oh, man, I love "Waterloo Sunset." 
It's such a beautiful song. Ray Davies is one of my favorite songwriters.
Re: Peter Gabriel, I got introduced to him via "So" when I was a kid, but I recently went back and got into his Genesis stuff and other solo work. "Foxtrot" and "Security" (whichever volume of "Peter Gabriel" that was) are favorites of mine at the moment.

Who doesn't love some good old soul music? Also before anyone else says it, yes. The singer looks like Zorg from the Fifth Element.

Here's another favorite of mine. I've been listening to a lot of "Odessey And Oracle" by the Zombies lately and this song is outstanding. (Don't blame the band for the misspelling, blame the guy who painted the cover. He didn't know how to spell "odyssey" and nobody realized it until the album was being pressed, so everyone just went with it.)

So me and some of my friends went out to a River City Extension concert last night.
They're kind of a folk-rock group with a real penchant for writing catchy, memorable melodies and a tendency to do songs where the first half is kind of a slow, acoustic thing and then the second half is a really loud rock song. I'm not super into them personally- I tend to like the second half and find the first half kind of boring- but I like them pretty well and one of my friends is a huge fan so we had a good time. The show itself was great; the venue was a little on the smaller side, which was nice 'cause I've never been a fan of huge crowds, and we got to see some really good acts- RCE sounded great, especially since the concert setting actually helped me appreciate the slower parts of their songs more, and the openers were mostly really good, too.
The first band was a two-man group (drummer and bassist/vocalist) called Brick + Mortar, who have this grunge-y, garage band sort of style to them that was pretty cool to see live. They had some good energy even though they were on first when the crowd was still smaller and the super-loud kind of 'dirty' wall of sound thing they have going translated well to a concert setting.
Second was a folk group called Spinning Leaves. Wasn't into them as much- they were good, don't get me wrong, but the straight folk stuff just generally isn't my bag of tea.
(I thought it was kinda funny that the bands were on in that order, since Spinning Leaves is basically the first half of an RCE song and B+M is basically the second half.)
The last opener was Laura Stevenson and the Cans, who I've actually been listening to for a while (and were mentioned in the thread a while back to boot). They're kind of similar to RCE stylistically, with the slow, kind of folk-ier parts mixed with louder, rock-ier parts, so they made a good lead-in. It was really cool seeing them live, especially since this was apparently Laura's first show back after being out of the game for a while due to surgery; she seemed to have recovered just fine, though, and the band put on a great set. It was a really solid show all-around.

Only semi-ontopic but ...
Dear neighbors,
if you've been vibrated out of your current seating space by a deep tremble, don't be afraid. It was not an earthquake. You've simply been part of a wonderful event - A Teufel subwoofer that got all options to regulate down the bass switched off.
If the resulting bass power of Knife Party injured you in any way, I'm sorry, but sometimes sound just doesn't give a fuck.
Yours truly,

DrDinosaur introduced me to Walt Ribeiro and For Orchestra several months back. Walt rearranges popular music for orchestral performances and the results are incredible. Some highlights include orchestral versions of Green Day's Basketcase, Dropkick Murphy's Shipping Up to Boston, M83's Midnight City, and the MLP:FIM extended theme song.
All his music can be found here - ForOrchestra.com
Just yesterday Walt released his orchestral version of Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe. I currently addicted to this arrangement and have been marathoning it since yesterday afternoon

The Olivia Tremor Control were one of my most favorite bands. They're an incredible group, and criminally underrated. I got to see them late last year on their reunion tour, and they put on an incredible show. I highly recommending looking at their music. They're fantastically talented artists, and their two releases (Dusk at Cubist Castle and Black Foliage) are some of the cohesive albums I've ever heard. This news really saddened me. I really looked up to them. And they were preparing to record a new album.
Here's another amazing song by them, which closes out Dusk at Cubist Castle.

You know what I like? Chiptune songs! Especially when they're from the Keygen genre. (This is, hacking groups use it as background music for their ILLEGAL STUFF 
)
Not only is it intrinsically funny to name a song after a computer program, but by golly I love this kind of super beepy and boopy music. I like to have http://www.keygenjukebox.com open whenever I'm doing any programming because it is so great.
Though I like similar music that was never actually used in keygens too.

^ They were playing Lollapalooza this weekend, but the festival sold out before I could get a ticket. And, well, there was that whole trying to fly to Chicago thing. Ah well.
Also, more music, sure. I've been super into Caravan Palace lately. Their genre: electroswing. It's as cool as you think it sounds.
Many fans here may have heard of them from Tommy Xe's pretty sweet PMV
