|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Oceanic</cite> - ISIS</p>
|
||||
<p>Effortlessly glides between beautiful instrumentals and
|
||||
head-banging metal. Even if you don't like harsh vocals, do me and
|
||||
you both a favor and listen to Weight - it's instrumental.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Panopticon</cite> - ISIS</p>
|
||||
<p>Like Oceanic, but a little more instrumental and a bit fewer
|
||||
harsh vocals. If that sounds better to you, try this one first.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Ants From Up There</cite> - Black Country, New Road</p>
|
||||
<p>Gorgeous modern rock album. Basketball Shoes is one of the
|
||||
greatest songs ever made.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Ashes Against the Grain</cite> - Agalloch</p>
|
||||
<p>Atmospheric metal. Love the guitar riffs.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>In Rainbows</cite> - Radiohead</p>
|
||||
<p>If you only listen to one Radiohead album, it should be this
|
||||
one. Probably one of the greatest indie rock albums ever.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness</cite> - Smashing
|
||||
Pumpkins</p>
|
||||
<p>A double album that's all over the place sonically in the best
|
||||
way possible. I may never forgive Hot Chelle Rae.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Flood</cite> - Boris</p>
|
||||
<p>This album is actually just one 70 minute song (in four parts).
|
||||
Very long. Very slow. Largely instrumental. Not for the
|
||||
impatient.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Solace</cite> - Jakob</p>
|
||||
<p>Very pretty instrumental post-rock.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Emergency & I</cite> - Dismemberment Plan</p>
|
||||
<p>Indie/math rock with some of my favorite lyrics from any album.
|
||||
Basically no misses. At any given moment I probably have the
|
||||
keyboard riff from The City stuck in my head.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>The Downward Spiral</cite> - Nine Inch Nails</p>
|
||||
<p>Probably the most violent, depressing album I've ever heard.
|
||||
That being said, oddly catchy.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven</cite> -
|
||||
Godspeed You! Black Emperor</p>
|
||||
<p>Even if you're not into long, instrumental pieces, you should
|
||||
listen to Sleep. Just once. For your own sake. Also an incredible
|
||||
band to see live.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Stage Four</cite> - Touche Amore</p>
|
||||
<p>A screamo album about the singer losing his mother to cancer.
|
||||
Heart-wrenching, catchy, and beautiful all at once.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Mirror Reaper</cite> - Bell Witch</p>
|
||||
<p>Another album that's actually just one long 80 minute song, in 2
|
||||
parts (or 4). You'll know if it's your thing after the first 7
|
||||
minutes or so, if not sooner.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Sunbather</cite> - Deafheaven</p>
|
||||
<p>Blend of black metal and shoegaze. Simultaneously pretty and
|
||||
heavy.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Somewhere Along the Highway</cite> - Cult of Luna</p>
|
||||
<p>More atmospheric metal. No misses IMO. Feels wrong to call out
|
||||
just one track, but Dim has one of the greatest buildups I've ever
|
||||
heard.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>This Will Destroy You</cite> - This Will Destroy You</p>
|
||||
<p>More very pretty instrumental rock. If you've seen Moneyball,
|
||||
you'll have a Leo-DiCaprio-pointing-at-the-TV moment listening to
|
||||
this.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><cite>Siamese Dream</cite> - Smashing Pumpkins</p>
|
||||
<p>A classic. Some incredible guitar solos. Think I prefer Mellon
|
||||
Collie overall, but Mayonaise is an all-timer.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||

|

||||
<li>The Dark Knight</li>
|
||||
<li>The Big Short</li>
|

<li>My Cousin Vinny</li>
|
||||
<li>The Departed</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>2001: A Space Odyssey</p>
|
||||
<p>The prettiest movie I've ever seen. You could take every frame
|
||||
of it and hang it on your wall. Slow paced, but that isn't a bad
|
||||
thing.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>The Dark Knight</p>
|
||||
<p>One of the greatest superhero movies of all time.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Spider-Man 2</p>
|
||||
<p>The other greatest superhero movie of all time.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>The Big Short</p>
|
||||
<p>My guilty pleasure movie because I'm worried it makes me too
|
||||
close to having the same tastes as a finance bro.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure</p>
|
||||
<p>Much funnier than I expected.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Inglourious Basterds</p>
|
||||
<p>Favorite Tarantino. The opening is one of the most tense scenes
|
||||
I've ever watched.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Monty Python and the Holy Grail</p>
|
||||
<p>If someone tells me they don't like this movie, I write them off
|
||||
as having a terrible taste in comedies.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Napoleon Dynamite</p>
|
||||
<p>Knew I would enjoy it from the very first scene.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Clerks</p>
|
||||
<p>Some great dialogue and acting. Now every time I see the number
|
||||
37 somewhere, I think "... in a row?".</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>My Cousin Vinny</p>
|
||||
<p>Knew people gushed about this movie, but it was even funnier
|
||||
than I expected.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>The Departed</p>
|
||||
<p>A great thriller.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3>TV shows.</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Community</li>
|
||||
<li>Nathan for You</li>
|
||||
<li>Veep</li>
|
||||
<li>Arrested Development</li>
|
||||
<li>It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia</li>
|
||||
<li>Workaholics</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Nathan for You</p>
|
||||
<p>Possibly the funniest show I've ever seen. The first episode
|
||||
might seem dumb. Stick with it for at least two or three more
|
||||
episodes, it improves quickly.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Veep</p>
|
||||
<p>Also possibly the funniest show I've ever seen. Has some of the
|
||||
most hysterical, most vulgar, most incredible one-liners ever.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Community</p>
|
||||
<p>One of the most unique and creative sitcoms you'll ever watch.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Arrested Development</p>
|
||||
<p>A classic. Thinking about it, similar to Community in a few ways.
|
||||
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LomnFmhdPE">Please tell your friends about this show.</a>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia</p>
|
||||
<p>If you haven't heard of this one, you must have been cut off
|
||||
from the outside world since at least 2005. In that case, I've got
|
||||
bad news about basically everything that's happened since then, but
|
||||
at least you can catch up on this show.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Workaholics</p>
|
||||
<p>Very similar vibes to IASIP.</p>
