He is obviously asking for Slow Ride by Foghat. Take it easy.

My favorite "bedtime ambient" album by far is Biosphere's Dropsonde

Tor Lundvall's Empty City is a close runner up.

I need an annoying Ringback tone! A ringback tone that is original, yet universally despised.

What are some prepared piano pieces along the lines of what Aphex Twin does in "drukqs"?

It's not prepared exactly (not in the John Cage sense anyway) but you should check out Freescha for some great twisted/distorted electronic piano musics.

where do I begin with Blonde Redhead? And which albums are considered their best?

I don't know what the fan consensus is but my personal favorite is In An Expression of the Inexpressable, so maybe start with that one? It's got this awesome song on it:

Thanks for the suggestion Gamma Nerd but the music just isn't for me. I know i suggested indie music but I'm really looking for more of a rock band like System of A Down. I know I'm a picky about my music so don't worry about it. Keep sending bands my way, we'll find something eventually.

I think you would like TooL have you listened to them?

I've been listening to a lot of Rome lately. I really like the whole melancholy martial folk thing, but the problem is almost everyone else that makes music like that is a nazi. And I don't like nazis. Does anyone have recommendations for that martial industrial neo-folk type stuff that isn't made by racists?

Well that is rather a tough question. Obviously there are artists like Der Blutharsch who claim not to be fascists or racists but who still use rather Nazi-ish imagery and it's not exactly easy to sort all that out.

You might try Ancient VVisdom, a band out of Austin - they are not really neo-folk, but share many aesthetic elements of the genre and I think would appeal to the same audience. They sing about the cycle of life and death, no nationalism or race or runic mysticism. And they are very good.

There's also the less martial side of neoclassical which sometimes involves elements of neofolk. Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Ordo Equitum Solis, some Dead Can Dance tracks, etc. I've not seen any Nazi imagery or racism associated with this area of things. In fact Sam Rosenthal who founded Projekt, a record label with a lot of good neoclassical and darkwave stuff, is Jewish so I kind of doubt he'd allow Nazi's on the label.

I don't think Douglas P is really a Nazi either, but I think it's understandable that people are put off by his constant use of Nazi related symbolism and incorporating actual Nazi music into his work.

Personally I still listen to DiJ and even enjoy stuff like Seelenlicht even though Troy Southgate is definitely a racist poo poo.

im looking for more current bands like All Them Witches. heavy blues-infused hard rock/metal with a bit of twang, weird and spiritual lyrics, and excellent musicianship. especially their most recent album where they stripped down to bass/guitar/drums trio.

Kind of a weird question, has anyone ever "chopped and screwed" music that isnt hip hop or electronic and done a decent job of it?

yes dj screw himself has done so, if you count pop ballads like no ordinary love and in the air tonight, they sound loving great imo

obviously these tracks are still partly electronic production-wise. if you are asking about someone doing it with like folk music or something i dunno. i dont think that would work so well.
