Scuba Steve's Most Excellent Playlist

[ScubaSteve]

Most of you don't really know me but for those that do, you know that the only thing that surpasses my obsession for all things water (Coral dominated aquariums, a water related business, water related PhD, competitive swimming, scuba diving... I can go on and on...) is my obsession for music. I don't know why but I really feel like starting a music thread to share some of the music I find with you all... After all, music is to the soul what water is to the body.

I know everyone has different tastes in music, so please don't go trashing me or others for liking particular songs. You'll find a fairly random assortment of music here, so hopefully there'll be something that tickles everyone's fancy. When I say my tastes broad, I can go from Heavy metal to classical to folk to electronic in single day.

I'd like to update this daily, so please stop in for some new tunes. I will be away for two weeks in Maui after Christmas but I'll be back full time after that.

I'd love to also hear some suggestions from others as I always love finding new music! Please PM me your recommendations as I'd like to keep the thread fairly clean and easy to follow.

So to start this off with a bang I've got three additions for today!

So tonight as I sit and sip my beer after a long, hard day I'm really feeling in the mood for something a little mellow:

Damien Jurado - Ohio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyO_SLIsFb4)

Dirk Powell - Waterbound (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MAMu3LHIYA)
Mumford and Sons - The Cave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KkUeRPjc-Y)

and a little somethin' to get the party started!

Goon and Koyote - Wellness is Wild (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGMP2GeDvaE)

Enjoy!

I consider myself pretty fussy musically. My tastes being no better than anyone else's but I'm fussy just the same.

And just...wow. I'd like to say I'll check their other work out but I've been looping this track lol.

I'm sure you enjoy the Cure's Disintegration album as well. Nicely layered too.

Ya dude! Explosions in the Sky are freakin' epic. I love the song the Death and Birth of Day. Trust me when I say you should try that song for the first time only on full volume. You'll see why.

And I totally agree with you on that Cure album. One of my favs. Since you are a Cure fan you're going to hate this or love this but check out Crystal Castles - Not in Love feat. Robert Smith (http://www.google.ca/m/url?client=safari&ei=8i_hTZCPFZqNlweZqdy0Aw&hl=en&oe=UTF-8&q=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3Djf6I5qZFoHI&ved=0CB8QtwIwAQ&usg=AFQjCNFp_CY1of8OxjWWOlaND_DYGuCJxQ)

Oh man, They'll change your life.

This album at least reminds me of the twisted lovechild of The Cure, Interpol and Slowdive. That's a good thing.

[ScubaSteve]

After celebrating not being dead in a fiery apocalypse for the past couple days (a rather libatious celebration mind you) I feel the need for MUZAK!

If ye be feeling mellow, I recommend taking one of these...
Alt-J - Dissolve me (http://youtu.be/Ab0Cw38AbWo)

If ye be feeling bouncy...
Kishi Bashi - Bright Whites (http://youtu.be/0C6g7JfYztE)

If ye be wantin' to turn the bass up like a boss, then have a go at this one...
Dada Life - Happy Hands and Happy Feet (http://youtu.be/DZcxJCgOW9w)

And if that got ye warmed up, then give this one a spin...
Bloc Party - Talons (Phones R.I.P. Remix) (http://youtu.be/K8pGtTmQcOI)

If ye be feelin' mixed emotions somewhere between gangsta rap and country, I suggest one of these...
Hugo - 99 Problems (http://youtu.be/nmy113gMds0)

If ye be wantin' something just awesome, give this a go...
Flobots - Rise (http://youtu.be/SvVO6Y-3CM8)

And the catchiest damn tune in town! (warning: you'll be humming this for a week)...
Macklemore + Ryan Lewis - Thrift shop (http://youtu.be/QK8mJJJvaes)

[Nizzmo]

The new Wiz Khalifa album O.N.I.F.C is really really good.. He laid a couple eggs but most of the tracks are bumpin'. Highly recommend you listen to it front to back, as they seem to flow together.

[ScubaSteve]

*@#$ ya, Friday! Time for another installment of sweet tunes to rock on into a wicked weekend!

To start, something a little mellow to get your mind off the week (as always, bass is mandatory):
Major Lazer - Get Free (feat. Amber from Dirty Projectors) (http://youtu.be/ytIfSuy_mOA)
Vampire Weekend - Step (http://youtu.be/_mDxcDjg9P4)

Mellow? Good! Alright, let's get moving with something groovy:
Foster the People - Helena Beat (http://youtu.be/ABzh6hTYpb8)

Now, let's ramp that energy up a bit (also recommended by fishytime)...
Vampire Weekend - Diane Young (http://youtu.be/mX46e4GtlXM)

Right, now let's kick it into gear with some Gypsy Punk!
Gogol Bordello - Wanderlust King (http://youtu.be/K3SUPPeuRdU)

Now that we've got the body movin' with groovin' and dancing, let's work on the neck with some mothatruckin' headbangin'!:
Rise Against - State of the Union (http://youtu.be/pH20zsVxxV0)

Whew! Feelin' all limber? Good! Let's go for a pumpin' throwback to 80's rock. Check out this dude. Kicks some ass!:
Twin Shadow - 5 Seconds (http://youtu.be/HiC9XNQSxFQ)

Nice, we're almost ready for the weekend. Time to blow this $#%& up! Crank those speakers, pump up the bass (and, seriously, if you don't have the bass turned up you really need to get your life in order) and let's rock! Punch it, Chewie!

Major Lazer - Jah No Partial (http://youtu.be/nxNnnR4XCyk)

A little music and humor.

[gregzz4]

People try to put us d-d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Excellent song, but they got old and haven't died (mostly) yet

[ScubaSteve]

Well, it's been an absolutely epic flippin' day in my world, so let's celebrate with some muzak! E'erybody dance!

And because I must DANCE... I need somethin' super funky (this bass line is super sexy, silky):

Malibu Sneakers - Get Down Again (Paul Rincon Remix) (http://youtu.be/cSXcMVwqZIo)
(It's a long intro so you'd be forgiven to go forward 30 seconds)

Oh, baby! I got me hankerin' for some more groove!

Platnum - Love Shy (Soul Avengerz Remix) (http://youtu.be/ibzS7Rxp8JA)

I don't normally do Skrillex, but when I do I do this song (be a big kid and put that bass to max!)
Foreign Beggars - Still Gettin' it (feat. Skrillex) (http://youtu.be/h15AkJnbN8o)

Hmmm, I'm sensing a theme for the day: Head-bobbin' bass. Here's an oldy but a goody:

Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (http://youtu.be/LoQYw49saqc)

If there are any Stevie Wonder fans in the crowd, check out this remake. It builds to a total juggernaut of tune, so give it some time.

The Revenge - Nightflight (http://youtu.be/0mjSshwJce0)

Now for a couple smashing tunes that might be a bit out of your comfort zones, but trust me on these. Give them a whirl and I promise you'll like them!

Crystal Castles - Untrust Us (http://youtu.be/tZu3EUVJ8-4)

Crystal Castles - Vanished (http://youtu.be/56E8yYgLNHE)

And finally, this will just blow your mind! It's called Pow-wow Step (and no, I'm not F-ing with you). It's actually kinda catchy.

A Tribe Called Red - Electric Pow Wow Drum (http://youtu.be/_zH9wHWMi_k)


Ah, that was good. Am I good the the night?
