Yeh it's a good part of a song --- I skip to the middle then stop the song when that part ends.
Edit - Quite lovely that progression. I really wish I could like the rest of the song that much, but I guess that contrast adds to it, makes it stand out more.

Tame Impala. And some more. Even more.
Can't believe I haven't mentioned them here earlier.
Re: Reverend Joe's Official Rock and Roll Thread
Not a new band, but at long last, my dream has come true: The Brought Low has released a new album. It doesn't have quite as much of a lush, Boston-ish sound as the first two, but it's still great rock and roll. The first song is pure 70's rock-and-roll, and the second song is by far the punkest song they have ever done, but it still retains a certain Stones vibe. Afterwards they veer into fairly familiar 70's rock territory, with a sound that is more varied -- in a good way -- than their first two records. There's lots of Skynyrd to be heard, in addition to any various combination of 70's bands you want to pull out of your hat (Zeppelin, the BTO, the James Gang, Aerosmith, you name it) but most of all, it sounds like the Brought Low. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again; they could have been kings in the 70's.
Beautiful.
Re: Reverend Joe's Official Rock and Roll Thread
I know this thread isn't supposed to be about us making suggestions to you but I finally got to see a show of gipsy on the rocks a band in which a guy I know plays in. And well though I often have heard one of their demo's cd, I must say it was one of the better gigs I saw for a while. They say they play a southern hardrock 'n' roll with a little modern touch. Either way I think you might like it.

Hey guys, I did another cover! This time of The Band's "Up on Cripple Creek". This time, I used several tracks (with lead zouk, rhythm zouk and vocals). It's available for download here! If someone would listen, I would be greatly honoured. :bow:

Up On Cripple Creek? Hell Yeah!

Had to come back for this. I just ran across this band yesterday, and I've been diggin' them ever since.
Stone Axe: a kickass blues-rock band that goes straight for the roots of 70's hard rock. Biggest reminder is of Led Aeppelin, but without the production overkill that Page always seemed to want to throw in, and Robert Plant's ridiculous siren voice replaced with a decent singer (I'm sorry, but I will never quite like Robert Plant's voice.) They've got reminders of Thin Lizzy too, especially with songs like "There'd Be Days" and "Those Were The Golden Years." It's tough for me to say whether I can find a really unique sound in their music, because they are derivitave but they do it on their own terms, kind of like the Brought Low but without quite as diverse a portfolio to draw from. But, they rock like mutton-chopped titans, as one review described them, and that's all that really matters in the end.
Dig 'em, Orgahs.
