(Part 2) Best alternative rock according to redditors

I'm a huge fan of Twenty One Pilots and highly suggest you check out their album "Vessels." Here, I'm going to list my favorites from the album, and honestly, that's like half the damn album.

And, I'll do you one better. Since I'm a huge fan of theirs, you let me know if you like their stuff and I will buy you a copy of this album. No bullshit. I've seen these guys twice, taken a picture with them before one show, and got onstage with them to perform with them at another show. I love these guys and fully support them and their music and want nothing more than to share my love of their music with others. I have no personal connections to these guys at all, I just want you to enjoy their stuff. So, seriously, if you want a copy of their album, tell me so and I'll make it happen! :)


Migraine

Ode to Sleep

Guns for Hands

Car Radio

Trees

Also, "Car Radio" is a very open, honest, and even dark song, lyrically. It's about the singer and how his car radio was stolen from his car, and how silence leaves us nothing but our own thoughts, which can be scary. All of their lyrics are very real and honest, which is what I love. It's about self-reflection and wrestling with yourself. I know their music and lyrics sound chaotic, but to me, because their lyrics are so honest...it's beautifully chaotic. I've had the album since Feb. 2013 and I cannot tell you how many times I've played it, and I play it at least once a week. It's brilliant.

Edit: Thanks for the gold stranger! Also, at this time, I am no longer able to buy the album for anyone else. If you're interested in getting the album, you can download it at Amazon.com for just $5.99. I would love to buy everyone a copy of this album, I truly would, but that's why I'm stopping myself, because I would make myself go broke, haha. And with a wedding coming up, my fiancee would absolutely kill me. Thanks for being awesome guys! Some good conversations going. If you also enjoy Twenty One Pilots or are interested in them, PM me! I would love to discuss them, their music, my thoughts on them, and anything else! Or, if you're just bored and want someone to talk to, PM me! We can talk about whatever.

Edit: I've posted a little note detailing the story this at http://rain.nxe7.com/note.htm

I believe we're over 170,000 pageviews at this point and maybe 150,000 visits. People seem to like it :)

Still Into You by Paramore

Thanks for the contest! :)

It's more folk/melodeath, but Eluveitie's Luxtos is gorgeous! [Amazon link]

Kill Your Heroes popped up on an 8tracks playlist while I was cooking the other night, and I fell completely in love with it. It makes me wanna dance like a crazy person haha [Amazon link]

My total is $18.27. Bam!

Red Wings sticker is $3.99 with free shipping, this song is $1.29 (waiting for you to decide whether mp3s are okay or not), and this delightful schmutz is $12.99 and has free shipping.


Question. What about mp3's? You can't add them to a cart, but they're there!

I'd love Babel by Mumford and Sons <3

Romanthony

If I may -- it's the only song I've yet purchased off of Amazon.

Happy Birthday!!

Santigold is killer!

Robyn...jammin'

Oh Land...new favorite discovery

Grimes is my girl!

I pulled some choice selections for your ears pleasure from some songs I already have. Hope you like them or at least one! Thanks for the contest

It would be extraordinary to have a new copy of my favorite CD [puppy destroyed old copy] (http://www.amazon.com/Mellon-Collie-Infinite-Sadness-2012/dp/B00AEVQZWC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1ACYBPXW50GS&coliid=IRPPDCU5KD0QT)

Thanks for the contest. :) Music

As for my favorite dessert.... caramel creme brulee.

I'll bring a dessert, self saucing chocolate pudding with raspberry coulis and to drink, lemon & lime mineral water.
Although I might have to make it at your house, I don't think the pudding would last the 27 hour transit time from Australia to America...(Also, could you pick me up from the airport around 6? I can throw in some petrol money for the inconvenience...)

Lana is always appropriate for any dinner with friends, and National Anthem is my favourite right now.

As a Browncoat it's mandatory I bring the Firefly board game I've never played it and this is as good a time as ever!

I don't know our lovely host Junigole, and I can't be rude and not ask how they're doing and get to know them!

I win.

MP3

this album helped me though so much it means the world to me, and I no longer own it. <3 It got me through the toughest time in my life by giving me an escape. <3

Music is always a commentary on society.

I picked 2, first one Matthew Morrison because I love him on gLee and I want to see what he is like on his own and Empire of the Sun because I love one of their songs and I want to hear more!

Music is always a commentary on society.

Well as I can't buy any mp3s from Amazon due to regional restrictions, I can't prove it to you. But here's an example of a fairly recent release: Santigold, "Disparate Youth", only available as 256CBR through various e-shops:

• 7digital
  
• djshop.de
  
  And I swear that, when I looked at it some 1 or 2 months ago on
  Amazon, it too said "256k". Now it just doesn't say anything any more.
  
  I'm pretty sure that the record label is to blame for this, that 256k is all these shops get. You can check other current releases, only available as 256k, is very common. So I'd be very suprised if Amazon would have gotten different files from the labels.
  
  Amazon's own mp3 FAQ says:
  
  >Bit Rate: Where possible, we encode our MP3 files using variable bit rates for maximum audio quality and smaller file sizes, aiming at an average of 256 kilobits per second (kbps). Using a variable bit rate allows us to allocate a higher bit rate to the more complex sections of music files while using a smaller bit rate for the less complex sections. The average of these rates is then calculated to produce an average bit rate for the entire file that represents the overall sound quality. Some of our content is encoded using a constant bit rate of 256 kbps. This content will have the same excellent audio quality at a slightly larger file size.
  
  Yeah, right.
  

Where are you, you spongy, yellow, delicious bastards?

Thanks for the contest!
