Not sure if I like Cloud Cult or not.  Keep playing 'em, please, and maybe I'll figure it out.

Variety is the spice of life, and RP keeps the musical spice in my life.  Lord knows there are lots of other music sources out there in the big, wide world.

Love this band. 

Cloud Cult has me divided. Their instrumental ideas are fantastic. As soon as someone starts singing, I've had it. I actually obtained a full album based on one of their songs (with very little singing), but I never play it.

We like what we like cause we like it.

and for the half-emptys insert don't before each like.

Yes, but these bands write interesting and melodic folk tunes. I love folk music and slow per se music, it is not the tempo that I object to, you can be extremely loud, fast and wimpy (see Glam Metal). I guess what I am saying if you are going to be wimpy, you better be interesting and IMO which is all we have, I do not feel these bands I complain about are. Ah but that is the beauty of music, it is all subjective. Also adding to the equation is the repitition, these bands I complain about also have something else in common, they are played all.....the......time and if I am going to hear it all the time, it better be outstanding.  As for Arcade Fire, I just think they suck ass and to see them live would just mean they play exciting and explosive suck ass music. Again just my opinion as you have yours. If you disagree, I do not say you are inaccurate and ludicrous, I just say that is your opinion and it differs from mine. BTW, as you might guess, I love the UFC and all mixed martial arts!

I just discovered Cloud Cult, thanks to RP.  I haven't been this excited about a band since I discovered the Flaming Lips in high school, but perhaps that says too much about me.  More!!

Honorable sentiments. I still hate Cloud Cult.

No music has ever rubbed the me the wrong way more than this. I consider it my duty to log on and complain. RP is off now and I am listening to the Dead Boys to cleanse my aural palate. And for what it's worth, I am a financial contributor. I think that gives me the right to bitch about this song - over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

Does not sound like Slayer.

Trust me, "it will be easy"

there, I said it

I agree, I dont like this song actually but theres no need to get personal in your comments, and no killing!

Kinda annoying.  3

Going to see them live soon. Can't wait !

These are musicians, not cage fighting neanderthals from the UFC. I'm not sure what your definition of wimpy is since the bands you recently uploaded, that RP added to the main playlist; Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros and The Monsters of Folk don't exactly sound like they chew iron for breakfast. You list Band of Horses and Arcade Fire, I would guess that you haven't been to any of their live shows. These bands can be explosive in a live setting, they can also be mellow too, but wimpy as a description of them is so far from accurate that it's ludicrous. And to make matters worse you side with Photo-John, who's comments regarding this band make him seem, at the very least, unbalanced, and at the most, a borderline sociopath.

There seems to be a proliferation of mean spirited, hateful comments lately. People, ease up on the extreme comments. If you dont like a song or artist, that's cool, we all have different tastes. But when I see comments like, "Bill, WTF is wrong with you"? or "Are you out of your mind for playing something like that"? It bothers me so much, I almost taking it personally and feel bad for the operators of RP. If you feel that strongly, go start a radio station yourself. If you don't like something, you know where the mute is. More than likely, a new song will play in about 3-5 minutes. I have been blessed with the gift of hearing and we take it for granted sometimes. Let's all be thankful that Radioparadise is on the air because what if it wasn't around? There would be a great big hole in the internet radio world and that would be sad. I have been fortunate to be turned on to so many new artists and reacquainted with old ones over the last few years and I appreciate it. Thank you, Bill.

More like Modest Mouse?

Yes, they are part of a scary, yes scary, trend of wimpy bands that are proliferating RP with great frequency. Bands such as  Bands of Horses, Muse, Decemberists, Arcade Fire and the like. It would be ok every now and then, but seriously. I feel ya.

Nice.  I'll give it a 7, but a much bigger 7 than, say, a Suzanne Vega 7.

Sounds a bit like Arcade Fire.

Interesting concepts in there,  but layered with too many "beeps" for me. That aspect gets on my nerves.

I diisagree. Anyone who never wants to kill is not really in touch with their true self. Wanting to do things is one thing. Actually doing something is another thing. And yes, I seriously hate this band.

Wow - that's a very scary and unnerving comment, Photo-John.  I hope you don't react like this to, oh, a cloudy day, or someone who looks at you wrong. IMO, anyone who ever WANTS to kill might have a couple of screws loose...

Makes me want to kill. I am done with RP for the day.

Sounded fun but want to hear more from them. 

from a 7 to an 8

Okay, I'm a dork. I really like this song, despite all the other stuff written about it. It still reminds me of an anthill at warp-speed, but it's amazing anyway.

I really need to go to bed now.

I really wish I could like this song.

Masterful composition, virtuoso techniques, delightful syncopation...

but the lyrics and vocals are somehow inane and pretentious at the same time.

Ho-Hum (what a bummer)
