Incubus

[WileE]

I have really, really, really been into Incubus of late.  Before them, it was Kyuss.  I suppose they are similar in a few ways, most of which the way in which they throw traditional structure to the wind and really do some interesting things with their musics.

I go through phases like this, where I will get on a kick for a given band, and go back through my collection and just listen to all of it over and over.  When I do this, I am seldom disappointed because I always find a few gems that I never really listened to much the earlier times through. 

I had heard "Nice To Know You" on the radio (back when I listened to the radio alot) and bought the disk Morning View.  I had been into the hits from Incubus..."Pardon Me", "Stellar", etc... The ones that got airplay.  Well, the first time through Morning View was no different, I listened to "Nice To Know You", and "Wish You Were Here" (Man was I relieved to see this was not a cover of Pink Floyd...that would be sacriledge).  Well, back when I was still doing my online radio show, I started listening to some of my disks again, to get some different music to play, and I found "11a.m.", which I think may be my favorite track on Morning View.  It has great lyrics -- an interesting story, good melody, and great texture.  I think the texture of the music is what I like most about Incubus.  A nice, chunky rythum guitar that is just saturated to hell and back, great percussion, and a nice round bass line.  Add in a little scratch in the back, and the flowing lyrics, and it kicks ass.  Makes me miss my show. 

Of course, those of you who are not into music all that much will simply think me odd, which is cool...cause I am, at least for the rest of the year.       More ramblings to follow, so don't you go changin'.

I keep thinking you're VikingJuice.  I don't know why.

I love music.  I've never listened to Incubus much, but it came on my Pandora the other day and I liked it.  I may have to check them out more.

11 a.m. is a good song on that album.  I also like Echo and Aqueous Transmission from that one.  For those without copies, I'm putting a post in Yay! (non-public) with links.

I've never really been into Incubus.  It seems to much like "singers who are mad at their dad".  But I won't deny they have some talent.

Right now I'm into the single from Angels And Airwaves, and also Panic! At The Disco.

"Seems".

I dunno, I've listened to three or four of their songs (mostly the ones that get heavy airplay) and just wasn't blown out of the park or anything.
