Hello. This my latest track selection. Enjoy this crap.

Let's start with Refused. Listening to this band in the context of their time reveals how amazing their music is. A whole heapload of bands today are basically ripping off what Refused did ten years ago. They are broken up now, and they're last days are chronicled in the documentary "Refused Are Fuckin' Dead." Although it is somewhat heavy-handed, it's still a good watch. Here is probably my favorite track from them, "Better Off Dead."

Now, we'z gonna get funky. You know Daft Punk? Well, this song was heavily sampled for "Robot Rock." In fact, that entire song is made up of one riff from "Release The Beast" by Breakwater. 9th Wonder also sampled this for the intro of the Murs album, "3:16 The 9th Edition." Here you go...

The Office (the British version) supposedly inspired this band name, Does It Offend You, Yeah? Google how, I don't feel like typing it all out. But their debut album is legit. Each song has a different style to it, but able to keep with the whole theme of the album, which is electronic kick-ass. Here is one of my favorite tracks from the album.

OLD SCHOOL. Whodini. "Freaks Come Out At Night." Enough said.

Lastly, we have Tech N9ne. I recently went to his show at House of Blues and was actually pretty stoked in the end. This dude puts on a fun show, even did his own version of "What, What, In The Butt" from South Park. This is off one of his early, early albums.
