Midnight Fiddler (she of 2 spzdk, 500 PiePoints and 30 Muszey points)
in November 23rd, 2008 @ 15:061~ I haven’t heard a whole lot of their stuff, but what I have heard I liked alright.
My musical tastes come and go, for the past two months I’ve been listening to almost constant Simon and Garfunkel, but the last week I’ve been listening to more traditional Irish folk music. And I’ve been thinking all the music that I was singing with my choir (lots of chants). Weird mix, I know.

in November 24th, 2008 @ 14:32(16, 17) Yikes! I used to like that song, but I developed a serious aversion to it when we sang it for Community Chorus a few years ago. But maybe if I imagine Robert and Midnight Fiddler singing it…
Simon and Garfunkel, on the other hand. ♥
By the way, MF, what vocal part do you sing?

When I get to school and someone asks me what I’m listening to, they look at me like I’m insane when I say the Beatles.
Here, people think it’s perfectly normal to like the Beatles. In fact, most people here like them and people’s usernames are sometimes derived from the Beatles (see Beatlesrockr).

in November 24th, 2008 @ 16:518- “Hurt” cover sung by Johnny Cash (originally Nine Inch Nails).
It is better than the original, in my opinion (and I am the metalhead not the country fan), and is one of the saddest songs you may ever hear.
And now it’s Low Man’s Lyric by Metallica. Also kind of sad. This is a playlist for when I am in a sad-ish mood…

I’m probably going to go back to Steven Cravis soon though.

25-Simon and Garfunkel…we did a show for Paul Simon one year in marching band; I was wearing the show shirt today actually. Haha. You Can Call Me Al, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover, Still Crazy After All These Years, Late In the Evening and The Sound of Silence.
We had loads of fun parody-ing the song titles.
Has anyone ever heard a Thanksgiving song? I mean, something modern-ish? Something they would play on the radio?

My friend keeps singing Christmas carols. During gym. In November. It’s pretty funny, actually, especially because she sang the first three words of Jingle Bell Rock in the locker room last week and fifteen other people immediately joined in and finished the song. The locker room is pretty much karaoke-land anyway.

in November 25th, 2008 @ 14:06Note to all Simon and Garfunkel Fans- Paul Simon is better on his own. (he was on Colbert a couple weeks ago). Graceland=EPIC.
The best songs are- well- all of them. Homeless is pretty cool, as is I know what I know and You can call me al- check out Baxithei Kumalo’s bass solo. And so is Boy in the Bubble.

Midnight Fiddler (she of 2 spzdk, 500 PiePoints and 30 Muszey points)
in November 25th, 2008 @ 21:3618~ First alto. I can sing up to an E (the highest open string on a violin) with effort, I think if I tried to go much higher my head would explode.
19~
Okay, okay, stop picking on me! the iTunes was on shuffle!20~ Same.
25~ you picked some of my all time favorites in that list! I also love A Poem on the Underground Wall, and Blessed.
47~ I have Cassadaga, by Bright Eyes…….I like some of it, I Must belong Somewhere, that’s my favorite of theirs I think.
RE: Singing in the locker room; I rarely find myself in a locker room, but then I usually don’t sing. However, if you find yourself in a deserted public bathroom (preferably a large on with lots of tile walls) the acoustics are often very good…..try it out sometime, although be forewarned that it may earn you some odd looks if someone walks in in the middle if your solo.

Actually, I keep a count of what songs it plays, how many times each one plays, and what themes are in each song.

in November 26th, 2008 @ 18:59We’ve been singing songs in Honors Spanish III to get our accents better, and it’s rather fun. The song that we sang today, which has been playing in my head ever since, is “Con Todos Menos Conmigo”, by a band which I can’t recall. It is a really cheesy 80s boy-band song, but it’s strangely addicting. Anyone else listen to non-English music?

in November 26th, 2008 @ 19:5457) oh I definitely agree that singing in a foreign language helps pronunciation. I’m doing that right now lol. I listen to loads of japanese music as you may or may not know and it really helps me. It’s good for building vocab, as well as learning slang…lol one of my favorite artists uses so much slang…he’ll also use a certain regional dialect from time to time…as well as puns that are hard to translate into English. It’s helpful because in class we learn very formal and proper japanese, which is of course really important but it’s good to know all the ways people listen and communicate, you know?
it’s actually interesting to see how different things are described in different languages. there’s a lot you can learn culturally from songs as well.
I’m interested in any foreign music anyone can suggest. if anyone is looking for japanese music I’m here, though I doubt anyone is :p

64-That’s like Elis. They’re German/American, and a third of their songs are sung in German, a third in English, and a third in a mix of the two. Their most popular song right now, Der Letzte Tag, is really beautiful, partly beacuse you have no idea what they’re saying.

in November 28th, 2008 @ 22:23I have a new law of rock. If you try and trump an original beatles song, not only will you fail. Your song will suck. In a few cases, it will be ok, but for the most part… no.
Now here’s two examples:
-The Jonas Brothers’ version of “Hello Goodbye”: It’s okay, but putting a beatles song over the pirates theme song is just – dude, seriously?
-Oasis’s version of “I am the Walrus”: The reverb of all the guitars just screwed everything up and the guy singing butchered the lyrics.

in November 29th, 2008 @ 20:37I’m still amazed at the light tone of the Music thread since Fridgey is gone. It used to be all emo rock and screamer.

in November 29th, 2008 @ 22:0082-Yes, we (almost) all know who Fridgey is.
And it’s screamO, not screamER. And it’s not bad, actually. Not exactly my style, but I listen to Blessthefall or The Devil Wears Prada every once in a while. Not totally hardcore screamo, but still.
Comment: Emo music sucks.
Another comment: I was on facebook, and one of my friends started a band, and they were trying to figure out names. Some were listed:
Suicide Hearts
Driving Depression
Love Note To Her
DeadeningI was like WOW that’s not trying to get attention at ALL.
I like Atreyu, whoever said that.
And Relient K is okay. Clarissa sang the whole of Deathbed for her audition to something, and people were crying by the end.
Not because it was bad, but because it was sad, for the people who don’t know that song.Listening to: Word Up by KoRn.
77-Across the Universe wasn’t that bad. It was good, actually.
My ear-buds broke, like they always do. Only one bud is broken, and the other one is really loud.
This has happened like, twenty times.
Not really. Maybe five.

I like emo music, depending on what you define as emo, but everybody has their own definition of that one. I’m thinking the Used and Hawthorne Heights.
Screamo’s good…Bullet For My Valentine comes to mind.

Great song. But it’s over, so now I’m listening to Hot ‘n Cold!
Anyway…
81- They play it on the radio a TON, and then all the JoBro fangirls are all “OMG, saving abel, so kewl, omg…” I’m sorry, but any song renowned by JoBro fangirls is kind of… stale on my list. Like, Mansen or MCR are fresh out of the box because the OMG girls haven’t gotten to them. But the JoBros are stale, stale, stale!
83- Not ALL emo music sucks. And on band names, my friends and I are making a band and we might call it Supernatural Mentals. We were watching a 60 Minutes speil on a boy with sever autism, but he was a complete musical genius, and V said he was like a supernatural mental patient. We thought it was frickin amazing, and we’re doodling band logos in our binders now.
89- Mine must be defective, because there is still JoBro mania.
93- OMG BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE IS AMAZELING. I love Tears Don’t Fall.Re: Taylor Swift: Ok, this is what really bugs me. About 2 years ago, I was listening to country music with meh horsie, and this song came on the radio. The chorus was about a girl crying on her guitar. I thought she could really sing, and she was on my Sansa later on that day. But then, about a month later, Taylor Swift got extremely popular and she was Popstar-ified. I was very depressed because I felt like I was one of the people who ‘discovered’ her, and me and a few select people deserved to listen to her because we were smart enough to like her music. Then they made the remix of Teardrops on my Guitar, and it was all over with me and Taylor. I still vaguely like her, but I don’t listen to her too much. Love Story is a nice feel-good song. Same with Jason Mraz; Syllabub and I have been listening to him since he came out with his first album. Then he got all popularified. Thankfully Carrie Underwood and the Dixie Chicks remain untouched.

ok
alt ≠pop
and, many times rock = pop
especially older/classic rock
alt is similar to rock, but not necessarily “more popish.” it can be, but it’s usually not. it’s rock with a twist, or not even rock, just all twist. that twist could be pop or punk or just plain weird.
alt is like flaming lips, franz ferdinand, TMBG, radiohead, arctic monkeys, etc

I saw them play in June last summer. Best night of my life, I mean that literally. I brought my 4 friends, though we were in a high box and farish from the stage, but we got desserts and our own lougne room thing and foods. And access to the desert cart! And it was all free. Ohhh I still owe my uncle for that (his company owned the box) *love*
It was epic epic epic win.
And I have I think… 112 songs by them, plus Ugly Cassanove (Issac Brock plus some other people, it’s very interesting, esspecally ‘Things I Don’t Remember’). Thining about getting another cd as well.
Got the new Elvenking accoustic cd, woo!! Becuase since I haven’t posted in a while I must rave about them, mhm…
So I guess since Fridgy’s not here anymore, ebeth it looks like we need to introduce these people to metal.
If anyone is willing to listen to a few songs, I will post songs/artists in a variety of sub-generas. I garuntee there is going to be at least some every one of you will like. For those of you who’ve never listened to any metal, it is not what you think.

in December 12th, 2008 @ 18:09Listening to: RocketShipToTheMoon by Dot Dot Curve, the New Version
139-I’m open to suggestions. I don’t know a lot of metal that isn’t industrial or gothic.
Metal Bands that I Like (most not really metal):
Elvenking
Sotata Arctica
Elis
HIM
Falconer
Cradle of Filth
Theatre of Tragedy
Nightwish
KoRn
Marilyn Manson (not really metal, more Industrial)
Rob Zombie (again, not really metal)
Evenescence (not really metal since the mainstream thing)Yeah, I’m pretty stupid about metal.

in December 12th, 2008 @ 22:23138-yeah. killer. i can play them, but not on effing sixteenth-note chromatic runs (i’m looking at you, Christmas in Sarajevo)
139-woo, metal! i just got some tyr and i LOVE it.
140-EK and SA are good, as is Nightwish. haven’t heard enough HIM to judge, but i don’t like Cradle of Filth or Evanescence. as for the others, dunno.
metal suggestions!
Amon Amarth-melodic death metal, what’s not to love? if you’re not a metal fan, don’t start with them but once you get in to some of it, defs check them out
Ayreon-really, really, really cool. has a storyline and everything. like a metal(ish, it’s not that metal) opera!
Dream Theater-progmetal. amazingly awesome. good place to start if you don’t normally listen to metal
Eluveitie-folk metal! good stuff
Helloween-power metal! again, a good place to start for those new to metal-more melodic, less growling
Iron Maiden-classic metal, could be a good place to start. i came from the other end (folk metal to the big stuff) but this is where a lot of people first hear metal
Korpiklaani-again, folk metal! lots of beer and such. good stuff
Masterplan-epic power metal, good place to start. listen to Masterplan and Aeronautics, those albums were made when they had the good singer (MK II is pretty bad, imho)
Metallica-see iron maiden, except from about Garage Inc. on they kind of sucked
Opeth-very interesting musically. good stuff
Queensryche-great place to start for metal. similar to hard rock, esp. in terms of singing
Sonata Arctica-what can i say, they’re awesome. power metal, fantastic guitar and great singing
Tuatha de Danann-Loooove. folk metal, kind of fantasy-based. has dwarves and fairies and suchlike, and is really cool
Tyr-Viking awesome. similar to Tuatha de Danann, at least from what i’ve heard so far
Van Canto-a cappella metal. way fun, and also potentially a good way to ease yourself in to metal

in December 12th, 2008 @ 23:24140- Well, Elvenking(wonder where you got that from, XD), SA, and Nightwish are all very good. I’m not really into gothic/black metal (some black, but not a lot…), I like more folk/progressive/power/thrash/death. So some from each of those categories…
(For people interested: read the categories, pick one you think you might like, then the same with bands/songs. You don’t have to listen to every single one, but if you’re interested in expanding your musical horizons, this could start you off.
Folk: Incorporates various folk-type instruments and themes, such as violins, flutes, ect.
Well, Elvenking is obviously my first recommendation to those who haven’t listened to any. Most of their cds (Heathenreel, Wyrd, TWW, Two Tragedy Poets) have clean mostly vocals (though some singing has a heavy Italian accent), very good melodies and
– Songs: Trow’s Kind, On the Morning Dew, Neverending Nights, Seasonspeach, Moonchariot, The Divided Heart, Dominhate. Show a mix of their different styles.Eluveitie: Heavier than EK, harsher vocals, but still very good. Has a very different feel, and a lot of their singing is in another language (Dutch? I think maybe?). Lost of interesting instruments, bagpipes, pipes, the like.
– Songs: Lament (love this one), Adiu, Of Fire Wind and Wisdom (first folk metal, maybe even metal, song I ever heard!), The Dance of Victory, Slania’s Song
If you like them, also check out Korpiklaani.Progressive: It’s… I don’t really know what to say about it. It’s very fast. Usually clean vocals. Very complex, intricate parts in it.
Ayreon are awesome, one of my favourite bands, especially their 01011001 cd. Like ebeth said, tells a story, and is kind of opera-esque. Very, very pretty, would recommend to everyone here. No… ‘scary’ parts I suppose.
– Songs: the 01011001 cd, Comatose, New Born Race, E=MC2(squared), Unnatural SelectionDream Theater: Ebeth pretty much covered it. I like the cd ‘Octavarium’ best.
– Songs: These Walls, I Walk Beside You, The Root of All Evil, Octavarium(24 min)Queensrÿche’s also good I think, haven’t heard much of them,
Power: Not quite as technical as prog but still very much so. Lots of fantasy/mythology fun stuffins.
Sonata Arctica: Are great! Fantasy, songs are addicting and good for people just starting out. Clean vocals.
– Songs: In Black and White, Tallulah, The Wind Beneath my Wings(cover I think, but awesome), Fly with the Black Swan
Helloween are awesome awesome awesome, Almost all clean vocals.
– Songs: Mr. Torture, Power, I Want Out, Eagle Fly Free, Forever and One, Hell Was Made in Heaven
No worries, I will continue this later when I am not being kicked off the computer. But start with these and ebeth’s, everyone! *stern look*

also re soloing-yeah we split up the solos and i can tell mom’s gonna be all like “why are you giving your solos away mrahr mrahr” j came up to me in class and was like “so, why did you give jared your solo?” and jared was sitting right there and j was just ignoring him. and i was like “we split them up…like we always do…” and he just shrugged and walked away. but i basically hate solos.

in December 13th, 2008 @ 13:30144 – I’m having some issues with my playing because of my braces. We never actually go that high (except in some first trumpet parts in jazz band music). My band is better than your average freshman band, but we’re still a freshman band. Ah well, reauditions Tuesday. Maybe I can move up (hopefully not down).

in December 14th, 2008 @ 21:29Ebeth and Jadestone’s recommendations are all very good (I’ve heard most of the bands listed). I would like to add that of those bands, Amon Amarth, Eluveitie, and Opeth are not good for starting, because they are growly. (I still don’t like Amon Amarth and Eluveitie too much, but I love Opeth.)
Two more bands: Symphony X (prog metal) and Stolen Babies (avant-garde metal, female vocalist).
If anyone’s interested, the first metal song I ever heard was Rouse Your Dream by Elvenking. I thought it was okay then… I started liking metal a little later with Rhapsody of Fire (Land of Immortals) (don’t listen to them much now) and Sonata Arctica (Full Moon). Then I listened to Rouse Your Dream again and absolutely loved it. I pretty much only listened to classical music and a little classic rock (mostly the Beatles) before that. (Dream Theater is also great if you’re coming from a classical background, because they’re very complex and have great keyboards.)140- I love HIM…
149- My friend likes them (Coheed and Cambria)… haven’t heard any of their stuff. will check them out.

in December 15th, 2008 @ 17:18152 – Fanfare for the Common Man? We played that in band last year. It was pretty terrible, because the whole piece revolved around the trumpet section.
In band today, we sightread a piece that I played last year. And I didn’t even realize that I had played it before until the end of the piece.
Reauditions tomorrow! *freaks out* *thinks better of it and goes to practice*

Someone blasted one in my ear. Ouch. >.< ) And you know what’s really awesome? Get your mouthpiece and the bell together and just blow, moving the bell around.

We had a “study hall” during band today. People were playing songs on the student teacher’s iPod, and the rest of us were trying to play the piano loud enough to drown it out. Trust me, it is very difficult to improvise on “Autumn Leaves” while “I want it that way” it being played very loudly behind you.

in December 19th, 2008 @ 21:53123~ Yeah, he cracked me up too…….this summer included a good deal of time where I was pretty much left to my own devices. within easy walking distance of a library (with free WiFi for my compy) and at the house with access to a TV with a lot of stations…….there was some time burned watching iCarly and Drake and Josh……..and the Suite Life of Zack and Cody. More Drake and Josh……more iCarly…..more Drake and Josh. You get the pattern.
to bring it back to topic, speaking of TV singers, that same time I was watching Drake and Josh and I randomly wondered if he was actually really singing…..next day, internet searches, YouTube…..and I had “Make’s Me Happy” stuck in my head for the rest of the week. Agh, not my intention, but whatever. It wasn’t actually that bad. Anyway, I’m rambling. Ignore me.

It’s not for all the other concerts but it WAS for today and I performed it in front of my grade and even though no one knew it was me because no one ever thinks I do anything beside from read it was AMAZING!

in December 30th, 2008 @ 15:27I’m currently listening to ‘Bruises’ by Chairlift, otherwise known as that ‘handstands’ song from the iPod 4G commercial, and I have to say, it’s a really good song. I think I’m going to buy it. Until then, here are the lyrics:
“I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Everytime I fell on you, yeah, everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But everytime I fell for you
I’m permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you.I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do handstands for you
Everytime I fell on you, yeah, everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands but everytime I fell for you
I’m permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you-ooh-ooh-oohFor you-ooh-ooh-ooh
So black and blue-ooh-ooh-ooh
For you-ooh-ooh-ooh.I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruising knees
But frozen things they all unfreeze and now I taste like….
All those frozen strawberries I used to chill your bruising knees,
Hot July ain’t good to me
I’m pink and black and blue for you.I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blueGot bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue for you-ooh-ooh-oohFor you-ooh-ooh-ooh

My friend and I are forming a band, and we’re stuck between two names: “Wardrobe Malfunction” or “Neverending Streetlamp”. I think we’re going with the first one, because I want the second to be the name of one of my songs.

in December 31st, 2008 @ 11:43Joy, I can finally use my new iPod,and I got the artwork for my CDs. Except that some of them got the wrong covers. “The Songs of Stephen Foster” showed up as a different CD by the same name but different than mine. Grrrrr. Some of my others did he same, and I’m very, very annoyed. Gaelic Storm’s first album (which had an awesome cover) showed up all weird, and I KNOW that it’s on iTunes with the right cover……very angry about that one.
but, the music is all there, so I guess it’s okay. Maybe I’ll be able to change it, I don’t know. Hope so.I also got a gift card, so I’m trying ti think what to buy……ooh, so many choices! I want them all………*sigh* Pathetic. Really pathetic.

Go look up Looking Glass Wars! My friend’s cousin is the drummer… not bad either.

in December 31st, 2008 @ 20:08203- I have $15 in iTunes too. I don’t know, though… I might ignore the music side of it entirely and spend all my money on This American Life television episodes. I’ll definitely get the first one, just to see how it is, if it’s not too expensive.

Apparently, Queen was voted as Britain’s favorite band of all time. I was a bit startled; the Beatles seemed like a shoo-in.

in January 2nd, 2009 @ 17:00204~ You’d get a kick out of the CD I got… Sea Shanties and Forcastle Songs from Mystic Seaport.
Hmm, now I’m down to $11 and something cents now….I got a few more last night….Simon and Garfunkel and Steeleye Span….my musical tastes are way out there. Not that everything I listen to is particularly weird, just that you might not expect them to be enjoyed by the same person.
For example, the Rolling Stones and Stan Hugill appeal to radically different types. Yet I have some songs that I adore from both.

in January 2nd, 2009 @ 20:12I got a guitar for christmas. I’m not sure how to play it. I’ve gotta pick up a learn to play guitar book. I got a tuner though, so that’s a start. Anyone know of a good learn to play guitar book.
Once I know how to play it I’m going to be golden. finally I can figure out the background to my five songs.

in January 3rd, 2009 @ 10:58Has anyone heard of a band called “Standard of Living”? I saw them, and Cute is What We Aim For, in concert the other day. I’ve always love CIWWAF but Standard of Living kind of blew me away.

in January 3rd, 2009 @ 12:09186- Oh, is that who it’s by? I like that song (Just Dance). I have $25 on iTunes and I’m going to buy it.
Aaaand, I’m buying KT Tunstall’s CD Drastic Fantastic on Amazon, since I have a $20 gift card, aaaaand I’m buying Cascada’s CD Everytime We Touch and Natasha Bedingfield’s Unwritten on Barnes & Noble. I’m trying to decide whether to spend the $10 I’ll have left on B&N on a new book/CD, but a) I can’t find a CD that costs $10, and b) what if I really need a new book at some point? I’m buying one on my Amazon card and that will make it go over by $1. And we need $25 to get free shipping, so… Oh, darn, there are three books I want. And they all cost $6.99. Sigh… I’ll ask Mom. But there’s not much chance that I’ll actually get any iTunes stuff by Monday, because we have dial up internet that can barely handle MuseBlog, let alone the iTunes store. Drat.

in January 3rd, 2009 @ 12:49So the music thread ate all my posts yesterday. Uhg. Can’t the WordPress Gnomes eat elsewhere?
Anyway, I spent a lot of yesterday afternoon/evening burning a lot of my music to cds to back it up (most of y music is on the computer only, from iTunes or friends). I got this cd-organizer thing for Christmas with space for 80 disks, so I thought I might as well. Then I found pretty colored disks, so spent more time than necessary matching up artists/albums with their specific colors
Except there were no green cds, which was bothersome, as Elvenking/Skyclad/Elvarhøi/Tutha de Danann are very much green.

in January 3rd, 2009 @ 15:08The iTunes store is so slow it’s painful. Really painful. It just doesn’t work on dial up, even when the said dial up connection is going relatively well for what it’s past offenses have been. *dies* Well, it’s more the crappy phone line here in Nowheresburg where I live (cable isn’t available here, at all). *sigh*
215~ The one I got is on Parcel of Rogues. I’m thinking that the first chance I get I’m going to buy some of their CDs, since I really like what I’ve heard and they’ve been recommended to me by several people.
Hmm, I’m really annoyed that one of the songs I got the other day wasn’t what I thought it was going to be.
I wanted the whole song, not just the first verse and then part of another one! Grrr. Maybe I’ll try again to get the whole song again, since I really like it.
