in December 9th, 2007 @ 11:41I went to a dance on Friday, and the absolute only thing they played was rap. The DJ charged us (the student council) a bare minimum price, and now we know why. It’s because he only played the iTunes top five rap songs. Cheapskate.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 11:44Oh look, a music thread. *sigh* I’m always ignored on the Music threads, probably because I come in with posts that a) don’t say much (“You should listen to ___” “I just discovered ____”) and that b) aren’t about metal. ARGH! I don’t listen to metal! Therefore I must be ignored? *sob*

in December 9th, 2007 @ 12:062/3~ YESYESYES! I will not ignore you. I don’t dance, and if I did, it would be 17th and 18th century dances. Not the demented hopping about they call dancing these days. *ducks as spike pies hurl at head for dissing modern music and dancing*

in December 9th, 2007 @ 12:21a new thread!! yippee! alice, its okay. nobody even listens to people who like metal on the music threads. usually we all just say something and then completely ignore everyone else. the problem is that we usually only disagree with each others musical choices(glares at cetp). anyway, i like all types of music, not just metal. like coldplay! and keane! those are not metal. oh, and i like regular stuff and classical. right now i am in the mood for a Trans-siberian orchestra performance.

Right.
So I think the first song to reach 100 on my iTunes playlist is Take You There by Sean Kingston.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:21I absolutely despise dances, mostly because the music is terrible and played incredibly loudly. Also, because I hate dancing. Thursday is my school’s Semi-Formal dance, and instead of going, I’m having a Chocolate-Syrup battle with some of my friends.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:29I think loud noise bothers some people more than others. I never went to a dance in middle school or high school, mainly for that reason. Whenever somebody mentioned one, I would just roll my eyes and mutter something about “writhing around in semi-darkness.” Maybe I could have learned to enjoy dances if I’d given them a try, but I didn’t worry about it then and don’t now.

dances can be fun, but not generally school dances. a lot of times what my friends and i will do is have a party that turns into karoke that turns into a kind of impromptu dance in somebody’s basement, with music we like and can sing along to

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:35School dances suck. There is crappy rap and pop, and the punch is stale. To top it all off, you can’t get within 2 feet of a person or its classified as “Dirty Dancing”. So no slow dancing or whatever.

Drama = Bad
Therefore,
Dances = Bad
And yet, I never remember this basic formula whenever there is a dance.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:418-:shock: That sounds like a lot more fun than a dance.
I like dances (don’t hurt me). Actually, I like them a lot. Most of them play music that I like or tollerate at least, and I don’t care about how loud it is. I like loud too. I usually hang out by the air conditioners and fans because of the writhing. That I’m not so excited about (partly because I look like I’m under the Imperius curse when I try it) but it dosn’t bother me. Well, snogging in the mosh pits on a very annoying slow dance is annoying.
I danced my very first slow dance this summer at a dance to a horrible song, but I wasn’t really paying attention to the song; the girl I was dancing with was mega pretty.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:46Speaking about loud noises that you make yourself, am I the only person in the world who likes to “sing along” with a vacuum cleaner? To me, it’s like having bagpipe drones in the background. Just wondering.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:47There used to be a Civil War era ball near where we live, but that want defunct years ago, sadly. Even though I’m not really into Cilvil War, it was a great event. Nice music, wonderful food, a person to teach the historical dances, and all in a beautiful old building lit by candles. *sigh*

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:5417~ I often sing when I’m vacuming. I get a good bit of practise, as Dad esignated vacuming to be “my” job forever after. Dependeng on my mood I turn on the loudest music I can find, when I was younger, Spike Jones, now it’s usually Gaelic Storm.
Or I just sing by myself, as loudly as I possibly can without going hoarse, even though I usually do end up croaking the rest of the day.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:5617- Oh my god! Have you seen The Triplets of Belleville? It’s SO funny. And there’s a vacuum-cleaner noise in it that I do like to sing along with (but don’t tell). I’ve never tried singing along with the normal vacuum, though. It doesn’t have a tune.
At the bakery (where I am right now), they have an event every Thursday where various random people come in and play their instruments/sing/recite poetry/whatever. (My sister usually brings her instrument but is too shy to play.) Anyhow, even though I don’t perform, it’s great fun, and two Thursdays ago, Chris (an employee), Nick (a friend of mine), Opal (my sister) and I (Alice, the MuseBlogger) (practically the entire audience/performers, too) decided to have an impromptu jug band and sing spur-of-the-moment songs about persimmons. It was a lot of fun. And totally ridiculous.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 13:5819- I can’t sing when I think there’s anyone listening. That, and the fact that I don’t know any songs, prevents me from singing anything but snippets of songs when I’m in the shower. But the shower broke. And the bath is too quiet. So I don’t sing anymore.

19-Yay for Gaelic Storm!
School dances scare me. Maybe if I had a reason to go, I would, but otherwise, um, no.
I’m going to un-kill my MP3 player today, I hope. And that makes me happy, because I can now put Luna Park (which is an awesome name) by Kila on it. And re-arrange the order of the songs, hopefully.
Right now I’m listening to The Bells of Dublin by the Chieftains, which is my favorite Christmas CD because it always makes me all cheerful.
13-School dances=bad
Drama=fun
Melodrama=even more fun

More Gaelic Storm fans! (Pardon the outburst.)
I have all six of the CDs, and listen to them way too much.
I actually went to a concert of theirs in Milwaukee last August at the Milwaukee Irishfest. ‘Twas quite fun. I’m glad my grandmother decided not to go, though.
They are coming to the D.C. area in April!!!!! I screamed when I heard last night.Okay, I’ll stop now.

I think I’ve heard the Chieftains. Perhaps my uncle knows of them. *hopefully searches through uncle’s music* *realizes that what is on her iTunes is not her uncle’s music* Oh dang. My dad might know where it is, though…
What’s Gaelic Storm? Herding Cats? Cool!
I’m listening to New Boots by Tim van Eyken. You must all listen to it and admit that it is most wonderful.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 14:59I love TSO!! I went to their concert in November. I love it when all the elderly people there find out that the word orchestra in the name doesn’t always mean classical music.
Smash Mouth and Herman’s Hermits are amazing.

Re: School dances: The loud music really does get to me, too. I hung out in the halls half the time when I went to them. Oh, and my friends and I are having a big semi-formal party instead of going to our class’s prom. It’ll have good music!

in December 9th, 2007 @ 19:01Robert (9): Everything you said is basically the same with me. I went to a camp, and you were required to go to the dance on the last day. There was a water fountain outside of the building which you were allowed to go to, for just a few minutes (then come right back inside). I went outside to get a drink, then climbed up one of the trees that was outside the building and hid for the rest of the evening. I usually don’t do things like that, but my ears were about to fall out and I had a really bad headache, and the thought of going back into the dance made me want to die.
I’ve recently become obsessed with Bach’s Magnificat in D. I sang it in choir, and now I listen to it all the time
THF also got me a CD for my birthday by an alternative-music-type-whatever-you-call-it-Cello group called “Cellofourte.” Has anyone heard of them?

in December 9th, 2007 @ 20:059- I will do that the next time a dance comes up, having been to one and verifying that that is indeed what happens most of the time.
12- What kind of chaperones do you have? The dance I remember as a whole lump of people in the dance floor and me standing warily on the edge and being bored and hating the music.song stuck in my head currently: Just, by Radiohead (which I am also currently trying to download from YouTube (the video is awesome) through a series of less than legal means)
Of the 768 songs in my iTunes, 249 are by They Might Be Giants. Not that I’m complaining about They Might Be Giants, but I need suggestions of new bands. And money with which to get CDs, but that’s another story. I kind of like Coldplay and Radiohead and similar bands, the fast songs more than the slow ones. I like Muse. I didn’t dislike that one Elvenking song Glassboro sent… Don’t assume that I’ve heard anything by a band I haven’t mentioned.

in December 9th, 2007 @ 22:0626- Indeed. I’m getting a cd of theirs for Christmas, instead of just having to listen to them online. How come no one told me they were the ‘party band’ in the Titanic move?
27- Wooo Chieftains.
I like the songs they have that are only them rather ‘Chieftains with [artist/singer]’ though.Listening to ‘Desperado’ by Alice Cooper, my friend wanted me to. It’s good, but at a low volume (parents in room) so I can’t make out the lyrics.
And I am very much looking forward to getting my ipod at Christmas! *feels bad for being materialistic* I’ll have to go through the 3 large drawers of cds so I can pull out all the Beatles we have in there I didn’t have room for, and for some reason were never loaded onto the computer. I’ll probably load some Grateful Dead and other interesting artists I’ll have room to try out now, whee.

Once more, I recommend Altan to people who like Gaelic Storm and such. Dulaman… (A song about seaweed…? Why not?) Although some of their fast-paced things are more fun, especially if you’re listening to them for the first time.

in December 10th, 2007 @ 18:042+4-Quite. I don’t listen to metal or go to dances for the same reasons. I also don’t like sustained loud noises.
The Middle School Semi Formal was a hoot last year. I went wearing the cheapest skirt I could find, torn up shoes (!) and a shirt I dug out of my closet. One kid showed up wearing a norse hat and jeans. Another: Oversized Hawaiian shirt and cargo pants. Everybody else was a shade more enthused about dressing up.Gaelic Storm? Enlighten me.
I have a rather pollish question. What makes your favorite song/band you favorite?

in December 10th, 2007 @ 18:55My friend L was talking about what she would do if she had control over the music for school dances, and she was talking about Beethoven and Chopin and I was like, “REALLY? I would go to a dance if you did the music.” But she wasn’t serious. She said she would only play one Beethoven song and that would be for comic relief. I’m not sure what she said she would play, but certainly not classical. So I withdrew my comment.

in December 10th, 2007 @ 19:1845 – TEENAGERS!
They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you son
So they can watch all the things you doBecause the drugs never work
They’re gonna give you a smirk
‘Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They’re gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machineThey said all
Teenagers scare
The livin’ **** outta me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone
But not meThe boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you’ve got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they didThey said all…….
About dances:
There’s a dance this Saturday from 5-7. I’m going. I like dances, even if most of the music they play stinks.
As far as drama goes… A little drama can be healthy for you! Maybe. It at least makes your life less boring, I dunno.Yeaaah I’m not a fan of metal. -_-

41~ Then listen to them or risk being pied.
44~ Gaelic Storm– Is a Celtic/Irish/Rock band that Midnight Fiddler is quite fond of, although her mother is not. Aparently several other MBers know of it, and MF is quite excited, as usually the music she listens to is met by blank stares.

in December 10th, 2007 @ 21:0950-how can you hate all rock music? you haven’t heard enough, that’s the problem. seriously, i’ve figured it out guys…hatred of a type of music comes from having a fixed idea of the stereotype of that type of music and assuming that all the music in that category follows the stereotypes.
*waits for moment of enlightenment to hit fellow musers*
but really, pandora. it’s the answer to everything. it is 42. How, i’m not sure, but it is.

in December 11th, 2007 @ 05:4955- If overexposure does it then metal’s not going to last long.
Actually, you could be right. I found out about Masterplan (the band that opened up the metal genre for me) on the iTunes Radio, which meant that I could listen to it without knowing that it was metal. I ended up liking it, and here we go: a new Museblogger
(not as in newbie) who obsesses over metal.
Maybe I should have stopped before “crap” in my posts against rap, but I really do feel that do qualify as music something has to have tone in the vocals/no vocals at all. And interesting instrumental parts. Again, metal can do that. I’ll try your music if you try mine, deal? Tell me what to search for on YouTube and I will. Just look for mine, too.
51- Whee Pandora! I’ll probably have over $100 of music in my shopping cart because of it by the end of the month, which probably isn’t actually that good. I need moneys for xmas/birthday.

in December 11th, 2007 @ 15:4056-that’s why it fits so well with filesharing programs
also, tupac has some good songs, as does will smith (yes, i used to hate all rap too…not any more)and i don’t believe that hatred of music comes from overexposure. Overexposure of the same song over and over maybe, or the same band. But i’ve decided that it’s not fair to hate an entire genre of music unless you’ve heard every single song in that genre, which is impossible. there are genres i like better than others, and some genres that i tend to dislike overall, but there are so many fine lines between types of music that i’ve decided to just eliminate all categories except two-good music and bad music

in December 11th, 2007 @ 16:3056- Sorry for dissing metal. Try out some rap underground songs. Thats the best kind because it usually doesn’t talk about money cars and h*s.
Shadowyze- Bumpy Roadz
Tru Rez Crew- I’m A Lucky One
Joell Ortiz- Hip-Hop
Talib Kweli- Listen
dead prez feat K’Naan and Stori James “Til We Get There”
Dre Robinson- This Is That
Tupac-Life Goes OnI am not a major fan of metal, but I do like Serj Tankian prior to Soad. I don’t like Soad but I like Serj and his solo career. I also like Wolfmother, and being from Boston, I have a weakness for the Dropkick Murphys. I have some Nirvana on my Ipod too.

in December 13th, 2007 @ 16:1340 yay! you listened to it!
44- i don’t have a favourite band, or a favourite song. some bands i listen to more often than others, but i usually listen to what compliments my mood.
68- i do! i like music from the renassance – look up “midieval babes”, they’re my favourite though i do like “the mystic and the muse” as well.
course, i like just about everything but rap and country… jewel and johnny cash are ok but the rest…
i agree with ebeth that you shouldn’t diss a genre till you’ve listened to every song in that genre but for the MOST part…

in December 15th, 2007 @ 15:13so i’m making a cd for my friend’s b-day, but she’s a jazz fan and most of my jazz stuff died when i lost all my music, and it’s not all back on yet (the program works kind of sporadically, so there’s still stuff on my ipod that’s not on the comp). So this might take a while. *hums*

curious and questioning
in December 17th, 2007 @ 22:0583- Which band is this? What are they like?
random tangent related to this: I vaguely remember them, I think, the song was maybe called Remedy and it was on repeat through someone’s mp3 player in the background of our VEX meeting back in the summer when it was fun.77/78- specific songs to look up?
random tangent related to this: They had this one song payed at the school dance, I’m sure it was the only good song played although I could barely hear it, the video was about an air guitar contest?So, currently, I like a local band that was recently in the newspaper called The Color Wheels. They have this super-happy rock kind of thing.
And in the playing kind of music, All-County is not the most fun. The music somehow manages to be boring while at the same time I need to practice it. One piece has a grand total of four measures that aren’t whole notes or whole rests. Half of them are cues for another instrument, just a low B flat held out ad infinitum. The first note I could play, in other words, on and on for 10-15 measures. This is the first trombone part. (I’m thankful for that, at least. If I had done worse than last year I would be sad.) The three other pieces are selections from Carmen, which is basically a test of whether or not I speed up when playing every other eighth note, a march which seems pretty normal as such things go, with far too many repeat signs, and Phantom of the Opera yet again. I love Phantom, but I’m going to have it memorized pretty soon if this keeps up. In two separate keys. Why do both versions change key? I bet it’s the same key they change into, too. At least I have melody (as in, the line that moves in the way of melody, not necessarily the same notes.) </rant>

in December 19th, 2007 @ 14:1768: What do you mean by historical music?
I like… um… I really don’t know. I know what I don’t like, but really, if I want to hear music I either turn on the radio until I hear something good, or I play my violin. *ducks incoming pies* Stop it! Shaker Dance and Lament is an awesome song!
*ducks even more pies*

in December 19th, 2007 @ 15:29I play the guitar.
I like Coldplay, The Decemberists, Arcade Fire, and bands like them. Classical isn’t bad, but it’s not very exciting. I don’t like hard rock or metal that much.

They’re alternative, but I think they’re harder than most alt bands… Maybe a bit Three Days Grace-ish?85 (again) – That’s Wind It Up. Right? Air guitar contest?
Acronyms?
30STM – 30 Seconds To Mars
GD – Green Day
3DG/TDG – Three Days Grace
BFS – Bowling For SoupAnd AFI stands for A Fire Inside.

in December 20th, 2007 @ 22:07I’m suddenly having a fascination with Keke Palmer. I have no idea why, but The Game Song and It’s My Turn Now are now two of my favorite songs. It’s embarrising, but it’s true.

in December 21st, 2007 @ 15:58So. I just pretty much failed a playing test yesterday. I was shaking, and my vibrato was all weird… and I could hear everyone else and at lest 5 of them did better than me. SO I might not be a first flute this year.
You have no idea how much that would suck. I have to ace my scales now…
And thank whatever gods may be (oh, line from a poem. With a bit missing, it’s actually ‘and thank with brief thanksgiving/whatever gods may be.’ Special prize for whoever knows the poem of the top of their head) for music. Especially sad songs…

in December 23rd, 2007 @ 07:50I have a question: what exactly falls under the genre of metal? Because I think I might like some, but I’m not sure.
For example, what I first heard that I know is “metal” was Korn and I can’t stand Korn. So, I said that I don’t like metal. But I think that some of the other bands I like might be. I’m confused…
