Dan might have just blacklisted you...

If by "blacklisted" you mean "put a hit out on", then you are correct, sir.

Nah, I'm not really proud of it, but i went through a big ska phase in high school, and I was a huge fan of No Doubt. And even though it's synth-crap, I really think her "Cool" was a great song.

It's old BEP, before they got the chick and "sold out"

Well, there you go, I didn't know there was a time when they didn't have the chick.

you want etheral? Or just laid back. I have a lot of laid back stuff, but it might be to creepy or loungy or whatever for you.

If you're looking for light-ish fair like DNTEL, i'll have to think and get back to you on that.

Creepy and loungy are very cool. Just something I can chill out to, I guess.

Hmmm, chilling out is my specialty. Let's see if I can hit any nails on the head.

First, right off the Garden State soundtrack, two artists:

Zero 7
Floatier and light, almost dreamish music.
Thievery Corporation
Very loungey. Back in the mid-to-late 90's when techno was the "it" thing, hipsters played this kind of stuff to feel relavent. You either like it, or you don't.

Then, if you want something a little more abstract, I might encourage you to delve into the realm of drum 'n bass and check out Photek. Very minimalistic.

For a more laid back soul/groove feel, I'd suggest you check out my favorite, DJ Shadow. I don't know if he's your style, necessarilly.

For creepier, I recommend Portishead, but it's an acquired taste, so don't dismiss it completely if you hate it right off the bat.

Have you heard of Pandora? It's a great site (and I think it's still free) where you can type in a band and it will try and play other bands that it thinks you might like (based on characteristics of the artist). I tried it for a couple days, and found a handful of artists that I liked and had never heard of.

If you have trouble tracking down any of these artists, send me a PM and I'll help you out nod nod.

Techno rocks.

The Crystal Method has always been a favorite of mine.
along with:
Old school Keoki
Sasha & Digweed
Daft Punk
Old school Prodigy
DJ Irene
Darude

Darude
BOOOO. You have what is called "Candy Raver" techno taste

You should listen to the latest Prodigy album, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned; you might like it. Music for the Jilted Generation is my favorite album, barely in front of fat of the lands.

 

[The ClayTaurus]

I don't like new Prodigy. Music for the Jilted Gen was the last one I liked.
Did you notice that Darude was at the bottom of my list?
haven't really heard any new stuff lately, this was all pre-deployment
so I have no idea what's new. I like trance

Blaring off-beat synth lines, eh?

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Sure...

You listen to much Oakenfold?

 

[GotZoom]

There is very little wrong with the Black Eyed Peas. Oh, and Gwen Stiffani or however you spell it is hot and a very talented musician.

I like the old No Doubt - when they were more SKA.

But "Cool" is a decent song.

And BEP - they had me at Fergie.

where does the Ambient music genre fit in?

Amon Tobin? That kind of ambient?

Peter Namlook, Liquid Zen, Bluetech, Saafi Brothers, Patrick O'Hearn, etc...
