This is more than your average blog.

This blog is gonna help not only me, but other UGers.

This blog is dedicated to recommending new bands for larry jones. I don't expect this to get big, or for everyone to come specifically to this blog for this purpose. If you're someone I talk to a lot on here, or if you aren't even my online buddy, don't feel discouraged to help me out. You can see what bands I like, so you should be able to help contribute to something important to me no matter who you are.

I will start by giving brief descriptions of some bands I have recently fallen in love with, as well as links and songs/downloads to accompany them.

I just made up a blog to finish off my profile completeness...does it show?

Well, in the metal vein, Necrophagist and Nile have been on my playlist for the last little bit. You've probably already heard them though..

Love 'em both to death.

Listening to Black Seeds of Vengeance right now.

Mogwai - Post Rock.

Heard 'em yet?

Love Mogwai. Good call, though.

Haven't listened to any of their stuff for awhile...

A couple bands I've recently come to like that you may not have heard of:

Agalloch (don't really fit into a genre, my best description is some sort of folkish/post rockish dark metal)

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=z4ih3JVrRPE
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=45RMOERVfkU&feature= related

Brian Jonestown Massacre (60's psych-rock revivalists with the occasional mix of shoegaze in their earlier works)

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HeLepdqMPMk (video is kind of strange)
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PaoWaz3r0Vc
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uDB7_N16tNE

My Morning Jacket (Indie/sort of Southern rockers who use a ridiculous amount of reverb)

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Q9iAcPjzc&feature= related
and just download their entire album entitled "Z" It's amazing.

Garret, great call on My Morning Jacket. God, do I love them.
