Has anyone heard the new Trivium?

in October 11th, 2006 @ 13:53Trivium’s earlier album was a crappy metalcore piece of junk, but the latest (Crusade) is actually a good solid piece of melodic metal. There are still some metalcore elements which get in the way of the overall classic metal vibe, but it’s really pretty good. Solid memorable riffing, good solos, songwriting is meh, but otherwise…
Again, I urge people not to be turned off by the instinctive reaction you get towards metal. It really isn’t about worshiping satan and killing babies. Folk and viking metal is about honor, warriors, homeland eccetera.

in October 11th, 2006 @ 18:36I am currently listening to music by David Arkenstone. P.S. I am too lazy to type much today, so this will be my only post for a while, but I WILL be here, just lurking!
And jazz rocks.

Sweet Melpomene
in October 11th, 2006 @ 19:08My new favourite genre is Happy Hardcore. Like techno/club music, just with a harder beat. I’ve been listening to a lot of synthesized stuff lately. CNet has a music download site I’ve been using recently. It’s nice.
Random question: What do you think of Lady Sov? I actually like her. That “Love Me or Hate Me” song is a new addiction.

I’ve seen that video by OK Go. It was cool. I like them.
Does anyone know The Decemberists? They are cool. Sort of weird indie/folk rock alternative stuff.

The Foolish Peradventurer
in October 11th, 2006 @ 20:52Not to change the subject of Monty Python (YESSSSSSSSS), but has anyone here heard of Ani DiFranco?
I’m listening to “Young Conservatives” by The Kinks right now. I’m in love.
Who here has heard Weird Al’s new album, “Straight Outta Lynwood”? I haven’t heard it yet (though I do love “White and Nerdy” to the maxx), but my friend has a compulsive urge to quote “Pancreas” whenever I’m in hearing range of her. Anyone who quotes that on here will FEEL THE WRATH!!
Moving on…Check out Ani DiFranco. I suggest “Swandive” (from So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter – I THINK) at the moment. I’m currently in LOVE with that song.

in October 12th, 2006 @ 11:0218- Ooooh, I’m in the school newspaper. The second meeting is today. IT MOVES SO SLOWLY. And I don’t have anything for it, because it was just announced THIS MORNING. Annoying, much. And I’ll miss my bus.
Back to musick: Aren’t commercial gingles soooooo dreadful? They’re annoying, and they stay in your head ALL DAY. Or for days on end.
I found a really cool band called the Supernauts. They make me happy.
I seriously have a song for everything. I break out into them all te time. Whee.

in October 12th, 2006 @ 13:44Brave, brave Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die
Oh brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave brave brave brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out, or his elbows broken…That’s all I remember. I suppose I could go look up the lyrics, but I’m feeling too lazy right now. :happy:
Btw, I’m sure everyone has noticed by now that I like to randomly quote songs everywhere. If you are annoyed by it, tell me and I’ll stop. I’m sorry, I just do things by impulse a lot.

in October 12th, 2006 @ 15:24Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar’s palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no disgrace.Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are,
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are,
Lost in summer, born in winter, travel very far,
Lost in losing circumstances, that’s just where you are.Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar’s palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth,
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear.Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar’s palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.–Yes, “Yours is No Disgrace”

Have any of you heard of Angelspit? I like them….their album won’t be released until Jan. next year, though…but the pre-release stuff is great. Sadly, they are being signed with Hot Topic, which means some trendkids will ruin them. *cries*

The Skipper Nancy
in October 12th, 2006 @ 23:05(23) Not all of those are low quality. I mean, yeah, a lot of it is, but you also have to remember that most of the stuff that gets sold is the bad stuff, so therefore the the good pop, discon and rock stay hidden and you never hear them. I mean, it may not be to your taste, but that doesn’t necissarly mean it’s substanceless.
(29) Cool. I’ve never really given metal a try, but maybe I will. I was gonna try and go to the music store this weekend. (there’s this one little independant cd store in town that sells all the non-mainstream good stuff that the big businesses don’t)
I know I’ve said this about 60 thousand time, but guess who is awesome? That is right. THE WHO. Yes, yes they are. I was just re-listening to an album that I hadn’t picked up for a while. Brilliant.
You need a new song
I’ll set the words up so they tear right at your soul
Don’t take me too long
But there’s a danger that I’ll plagiarize something oldMy fingers kill me as I play my guitar
‘Cause I’ve been chewing down at my nails
My hairline ain’t exactly superstar
But there’s one thing that never fails
This never failsI write the same old song with a few new lines
And everybody wants to cheer it
I write the same old song you heard a good few times
Admit you really want to hear itWhenever I see you
You always treat me like I’m some kind of perfect man
Just ’cause I please you
You explain, but you don’t think I can understandMy head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen
‘Cause I’ve been pouring vodka in my soul
Nothing really ever changes my friend
New lamps for old
New lamps for oldWe sing the same old song, just like a vintage car
You can look but you won’t ever drive it
We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar
We get hung over, but we always survive itTurn on the radio
Love is proclaimed
Again and again and again
Join in and sing
Now, don’t be ashamed
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rainWe hum the same old lines to a different crowd
And everybody wants to cheer it
We run on endless time to reach a higher cloud
But we never ever seem to get near itWe sing the same old song

You know what I love? Anime soundtracks. Seriously, some of it ranks among the most amazing music I have ever heard. If you haven’t heard it, you must procure yourself a copy of the Wolf’s Rain soundtrack, my current listening material, and plug in your phones. I command you. OHWHATNOW BUUUURN LAWLZ.

in October 13th, 2006 @ 13:43Heeding The Call (by Hammerfall)
A flash in the night, a journey through time
the Templars are back on the streets
Guarded by prowess and the will to survive
all led by the guiding light
Angels of mercy, guardians of time
Shackled and chained through the eternal flame
the hammer will slowly arise
Heeding The Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we’ll fall
Brothers unite, let’s stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding The Call
One step ahead, revealing the past
united, together we stand
The call of the thunder, the sign to begin
this final crusade we will win
Angels of mercy, our journey must proceed
With hearts all filled up with chivalry
the lifeblood that we all needHeeding The Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we’ll fall
Brothers unite, let’s stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding The Call
Oh, oh, oh…
Heeding The Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we’ll fall
Brothers unite, let’s stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding The CallDragons Of The North (by Einherjer)
As blood for wolves for riches and lust
Onward with hammers to chest
Villages burn,burn citys to dust
And for fun they tortue the restCold,blue steel through a nice day`s breast
An avalanche of heathnes set sail
To show to the world of which men is beast
To conquer where others would failOdin is working to eagerly form
A great heathen fist from the north
Pray for your life when there`s signs of a storm
But praying won`t help when the dragons com forthRoaming the bow,the berserks,the fierce
They know not fear of pain
Women and children are swimming in tears
While the berserks are going insaneScholared embodies by blood and the mound
The clink of sword sound death chord
Bearslough and wolfslough are shaking the ground
Embraced by might,great northern hordeOdin,great warlord,I greed you with hail
This new god is weaker of class
Grant me thy powers,your secrets unveil
And I`ll kick this christ right in the assInto the Storm (by Blind Guardian)
Give it to me
I must have it
Precious treasure
I deserve it
bridge:
Where can I run
How can I hide
The Silmarils
Gems of treelight
Their life belongs to me
Oh it’s sweet how the
Darkness is floating around
chorus:
We are following
The will of the one
Through the dark age
And into the storm
And we are following
The will of the one
Through the dark age
And into the storm
Lord I’m mean
Blackheart show me
What you hold in your hand
I still hunger for more
Release me
From my pain
Give it to me
How I need it
How I need it
How I need it
bridge
chorus
I did my part
Now it’s your turn
And remember
What you’ve promised

chorusSword Chant (by Ensiferum)
[Grim man’s tale:]
[I:]
A flaming blade of the dark shadows struck the lands
With furious lightning it fell into the hands of man
And the ancient fire came down
Down from the sky into the ground
The clouds moved aside as the sword was cast from the sky
Burnt by a mark of fire, who shall make this find
And the grey clouds were watching down, down from the sky into the ground
…As the shapes of light were drowned[II:]
Courage’s started crowling from the ashes and smoke
And the night was cursed and drifting within the winds so cold
And the knights from the sea were marching down
To the deep caverns down, down where the old spells are found
The war was growing in the old lands and towns
From the mountains war drums pounded with a defeaning sound
They’ll seek the Sowrd forevermore, until in battle they’ll fall
…Now, hear the battle’s callWho dares to play with death
Who smells the dragon’s breath
No grief for the fallen ones
The search for the sword has begun[Carved in stone:]
Great as the mountains and seas
Grim as the earth and old trees
Made from the glimmer of golden lakes
Chained with fire that never fades
Rocks and stones they carve and mould
When the rivers run fierce and cold
May this chant haunt your past
For this Sword is yours at lastRaise the arms the battle is near
Through the mud and waters clear
The blood is coloring the lands again
A sign of victory the wind will send

in October 13th, 2006 @ 18:06(35) Ooh, my friends are huge Wolf’s Rain fans. I’ve heard the “Stray” song but I hear there’s a good song by Maaya Sakamoto as well. Hmm.
The soundtrack for Tsuiokuhen (the first Rurouni Kenshin OVA) is heartbreaking to listen to . Very good writing music.

in October 13th, 2006 @ 20:15#30: Yeah, I also thought SoaD were nothing but noise, the first time I heard them on the radio. But then I started actually listening to the lyrics, and – Okay, I know they sound all trippy and nonsensical – but their songs (at least the ones I’ve heard) do have “deeper” meanings, most of them having to do w/ the state our govt is in right now.
For some reason, I’m really into techno/electropop right now. I reely want to get this one album by The Faint…I think it’s just a lot of remixes, actually…Gahh I can’t find it anywhere, though.

in October 13th, 2006 @ 22:5846 (emogrl)- Ooh, I love electro-pop/rock. Ear chocolate-covered raisins right there, it is.
38 (FS)- Aww, now I really want to listen to some of that. I don’t suppose any of you have found it in the States, have you?
So, if you are at all fond of random noise that still manages to come together and sound really good, you need to listen to Varèse. He’s very 20th century sounding; you almost wish he’d been born late enough to get his hands onto some synthesisers. (I’m taking 20th century music as a theory elective this year, since I really didn’t feel like doing AP, and my teacher adores him. Zappa did too, apparently.)
Also, I believe I’ve reccomended Apocalyptica on many a music thread of yore. Because they’re just that awesome. Finnish metal cellists. How do you go wrong with that?

and it’s probably a lot harder to get that sort of music in the states than here… you might have to end up paying for import. But then again, there are probably loads of specialised metal stores. Just go hunting.

The Foolish Peradventurer
in October 14th, 2006 @ 15:12ANI?? ANYbody??
Its spelled Y-A-N-K-O-V-I-C.
My three favourite lines from that song are:
“Jumping is easy/falling is fun/right up until you hit the sidewalk/shivering and stunned”
“Gravity’s nothing to me/I’m moving at the speed of sound/I just want to get my feet wet/until I drown”
“I’m gonna do my best swandive/into a shark-infested water/I’m gonna pull out my tampon and just start splashing ’round/’cause I don’t care if they eat me alive/I’ve got better things to do than survive”
In case anyone is wondering or worrying, they METAPHORICAL. I always have a ‘ell of a time explaining this to my mum.
I LOVELOVELOVE The Who!! They just write kind of bizarre songs.

in October 14th, 2006 @ 16:25May I just say some things that have to do with my emotions on music in general:
-I hate Led Zeppelin, Tommy James and the Shandells, motown, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, In Flames, heavy metal, metal, thrash, metal vomit, metal thrash, metal thrash vomit, US rap, R&B written after approx. 1995, most pop music, the Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, Led Zeppelin, and Led Zeppelin.
-I don’t care if you think LZ is the best band in the world. I don’t care if you wrote your thesis on the subject. I don’t care if your girlfriend has a LZ tattoo on her butt. Listening to Led Zeppelin is like stuffing your ears with Pritt, the Non-Sticky Sticky Stuff, and then blowing up the Pritt, only to bandage your head with horse saliva.
-I really like Talking Heads, the Buzzcocks, the Clash, the Damned, X, the Kinks, the Doors, Steely Dan, the Specials, Simon & Garfunkel, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, the B-52s, the Plastics, Elvis Costello, (and to prove that I’m not all old rock music), Steriogram, Pink Martini, Pepe and the Bottle Blondes, the Killers, and the UK Subs.
-I have 15 framed LPs in my room.
-My mp3 player is an 8GB Creative Zen Microphoto, blue.
-‘Nuff said.

emogrl //_^
in October 14th, 2006 @ 21:20Yaaaaaaaaah why does The Zone always have to play Taking Back Sunday all the time?! I feel like clawing my ears off!!
I usually have a very open mind music-wise – I like everything from techno to New Age to metalcore…but there are some bands that I absolutely can’t stand. Usually, it’s b/c a)The singer is too whiny/screech-y (Some emo bands are like that), or b)Their musik is just…nothing but freaking noise– I saw a few metalcore groups this summer at SotU whose musik was pretty much a combination of instruments being beaten on and the lead singer screaming senseless, profane lyrics. Just noise.
Stuff emogrl hates w/ a passion (No off to anyone who likes them)
Cannibal Corpse (My friend likes them…I have no idea why…maybe she doesn’t listen to the lyrics – They’re probably so vulgar that I wouldn’t even be able to post them here)
GWAR – The name fits.
The Killers – I think they sound like arrogant jackarses, making fun of FOB and Panic!…Yes, I know they “made up,” but still.
Yellowcard – Almost as bad as Simple Plan
Taking Back Sunday – Blech
Simple Plan – Likewise

in October 15th, 2006 @ 05:4655: Those are of course, personal opinions, with no knowledge of themes and ideals behind most metal.
56: Cannibal Corpse are… well, boring, frankly. If you add anti-christian hate and energy to them, you get Deicide. If you add awesome guitar playing, you get Morbid Angel. In fact, Cannibal Corpse are like the base of all death metal. Which would be interesting if they were the first dm band, which they’re not.
but come on, how can you not like GWAR? The lyrics are awesome…

in October 15th, 2006 @ 10:3350- Our only bypass is through Nationstates.
Bands/Groups/Singers/Songs/Whatever I hate:
You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC. It’s just stupid.
The Darkness. I cannot stand the singer’s voice.
MCR. Helena isn’t that bad, but Gerard annoys me to no end. I’m Not Okay is one of the worst songs ever.
Led Zep. I hatehatehate Stairway to Heaven. After you get over being annoyed by it, it just gets boring. Though the Immigrant Song is tolerable, but only every once and a while.
Avril [can’t spell her last name]. Also annoying.
The Reason by Hoobastank. It’s too long, repetitive, and almost monotonous [killed much spelling there]
Incubus. The singer’s voice annoys me again, and their songs don’t have much substance.
Switchfoot. All of their songs, at least that I’ve endured, sound the same. And it’s not a very happy same.
I’m too lazy to list more. So…Stuff I Heart:
TMBG [naturally]
Nymphetamine by CoF. It’s so pretty.
Franz Ferdinand. The singer’s voice is just too cool.
Bowie. Enough said. I love Rebel Rebel.
Forever May Not Be Long Enough by Live. Their other songs don’t do much for me, but I love the melody in that one. It’s a side-effect of having seen The Mummy and The Mummy Returns countless times.
Angelspit. 100 Percent is one of the coolest songs ever. Blaring synths equal love.
Alicia Keys, except for that song she did with Usher.
Aretha Franklin. Think!
Breaking Ben. I still need to get their new album. It’s weird, though, because you can actually understand what Ben is singing in Diary of Jane…
The Eagles, especially Desperado.
The Sex Pistols. I love Pretty Vacant to no end. The chorus pwns.
Fischerspooner. They’re pretty cool.
Inside A Dream by Jamison Boaz. Just not when it turns into an earworm for days on end.
John Denver. He is soooooo awesome. Especially Eagles and Horses.
Can’t forget The Who and The Beatles.
Lemon Demon, of course.
TSO. But they need to expand beyond all of the Xmas musick.
Queen! Tie Your Mother Down! The Show Must Go On! Bohemian Rhapsody!
Gimme Some Lovin’ by Spencer Davis Group.
The Supernauts.
The Temptations.
Dark Tranquility.
…and more. Huzzah for CNet’s music download site.I feel the need to quote lyrics…
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well theyd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.There are times when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youre
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

Zeppelin? Hmm, my opinion os Zeppelin… (ok, so I differ from SM on this one). I like some Zeppelin. I don’t know them that well. I’m really tired of Stairway to Heaven, but the lyrics are good. Kashmir has a brilliantly done backround rhythm contrasted with the trumpet part.
But that doesn’t mean you have to like them…I dislike the The Killers. But I have a bit of an unfair prejudice against them.

in October 15th, 2006 @ 20:52Has anyone ever heard the song Living on a Thin Line by the Kinks? Its my current favorite. And the lyrics are just so true, except the beginnings a little strange :
All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But there’s no England now.
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore.
All the lies we were told,
All the lies of the people running round,
They’re castles have burned.
Now I see change,
But inside we’re the same as we ever were.Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Living this way, each day is a dream.
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?Now another century nearly gone,
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn’t do, what we wouldn’t do,
It’s a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters.Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?Now another leader says
Break their hearts and break some heads.
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past,
Always lost in blood and guts.
And when they’re gone, it’s me and you.Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line.

in October 15th, 2006 @ 21:02Sorry to double post, but-
Some senior at my school produced Tommy for his senior project. My friend Josh was in it (he played 10 year old Tommy) and it was actually pretty good, except they took out a couple of scenes which made it a little confusing. Like, they took out the Cristmas song (ya know, the one that says “but Tommy doesn’t know what day it is, he doesn’t know who Jesus was or what prayin’ is, how can he be saved?..) I think they probably took that one out because of religious content, but whatever, it was still good. Josh played being deaf, dumb(mute) and blind very convincingly.

Does anyone here like making dongs on GarageBand? OK, mine are all totally unoriginal, because they’re all just generic loops glued together, but it’s still really cool to play around with.

in October 18th, 2006 @ 00:18(77) Haha, that’s exactly what I do on GB.
A djambe is an african drum. It’s in sort of an hourglass shape. I know some people who play djambe and I’ve taken a class. The rhythms are wonderful. It makes different noises depending on how you hit, some more like a “duum” and some more like “fleck” sound, at a slightly higher pitch. Using the combinations of sound allows you to get this beautiful, pulsing, staccato melody. It’s really exciting. I wish I could play them more often. The dancing that goes with is really fun too.

†FrigidSymphony†With Odin On Our Sides, Our Souls Burning With Pride
in October 18th, 2006 @ 14:42You can probably get some of the more major bands, like Yngwie Malmsteen, Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica, Amon Amarth… But you won’t find loads of the pagan/viking/folk bands. Most of the americans I know order this stuff from europe, or are on special trading sites. I would recommend you go to the biggest record store and have a look. Then look for a smaller store that specialises in metal. You should find a lot more there. In the end, apart from downloading, the only way you’ll be able to get the rest is by importing it from Europe. Scandinavia has a GREAT metal market.
Btw, I’ll explain the subgenres a bit.
Viking metal is metal with lyrical content set firmly in nordic mythology. The music is usually empowering, but with harsh vocals.
Folk metal is metal inspired by and incorporates folk and medieval sounds and instruments. Vocals are usually clean. Also very uplifting.
Pagan metal is like the darker side of folk. Very ambient, and often a lot like black metal. Lyrical themes can sometimes be a bit negative, like human sacrifice or sacrificial rape. Remember, no one takes it less seriously than the musicians themselves. And of course, no on takes it more seriously than the Church. Anyway, pagan metal also uses lots of folk and medieval instruments, but it’s much darker and atmospheric. Also a lot more aggressive.
Neo-classical metal is… well, neo-classical. Music heavily based on classical music and with all the classical virtuosity (Adagio has an AMAZING piano player). It frequently plays covers of classical pieces, but it’s all done in a new and sophisticated way. Also, different neo-classical bands use different classical sounds. Falconer and Rhapsody are heavily based on the baroque period, whilst After Forever (with a female A Cappella singer), Koyaanisqatsy and TSO focus more on the romantic period. Yngwie Malmsteen was one of the first popular artists in the subgenre, playing classical pieces and using classical technique at a speed unheard of before. He’s referred to as “The King of Neo-Classical Speed Metal”.

in October 18th, 2006 @ 19:38Today my choir learned out second song! Our Shabbaton is in two weeks, and we’re singing for it. It’s going to be sooo fuuun…
He’re the first song, transliterated and translated:
Hineh yamim…ba’aim me’um
Asher nishbaatah…ra’av ba’aretz
lo…ra’av la’lechem v’lo tzama’ah lamayim *repeat*
*to a slow, swinging, chanting-ish beat*
lo ra’av lalechem
velo tzamah lamayim
ki im lishmoah
im lishmoah
et d’var Hashem *repeat*Here is the song roughly translated:
These are the days
That shall soon be
That in them you promised
There would be a hunger in the land
But will we hunger for bread
And thirst for water?We will not hunger for bread
And we will not thirst for water
For hunger will not come to those
Who listen to the word of God.
We listen to the word of God.It’s kind of depressing, but it is GORGEOUS in Hebrew and there are five harmonies besides the melody. Maybe I will record it and post it here.
The second song is even better, but I don’t know all the words yet.

It’s they’re project. Also, Jon Oliva’s solo stuff, under the heading Jon Oliva’s Pain, is incredible as well.

in October 20th, 2006 @ 20:35apparently I scared everybody away….or maybe no one else is awake at this hour of night! Getting back to music, I also like the Itinerant Band, Bonnie Rideout, Maggie’s music etc.
my sis and I rewrote one of Gaelic Storm’s songs, Kiss me I’m Irish. If you’re so deprived that you don’t know the words, here they are;
Kiss me i’m Irish,
I am the wild rover.
My eyes they are smiling,
and I’m seldom sober!
I like my wiskey,
and I love to dance,
so if you’re feeling as lucky as me,
take a chance…
and kiss me I’m Irish!well, we turned that into;
hug me I’m freezing,
the wind it is blowing,
the night it is darkening,
and we’re far from sober!
I like my heaters,
and radient floors,
so if you’re feeling as chilly as me,
go ahead…
And hug me I’m freezing!

Pentatonikk in Spadesâ™
in October 20th, 2006 @ 21:1694 (PA)- If you mention Bonnie Rideout to my little sister, she’ll go all hyper and Scottish on you.
I’m writing a rock song for cello and piano. Of course, considering my training, it’s heavily classical-influenced. Perhaps, if I ever finish it and get one of my friends to play it with me, I can post a soundbite. You’ll finally get to hear me singing (or not, if I can find someone better). You won’t want to.
Any tips on writing good, rhyming lyrics?

How about Phytophthera for a band name? Phytophthera Infestans is the name of the fungus that wiped out the potatoes in Ireland, causing the great famine of the late 1840s. Dark and mysterious and fun to say.I think I like your idea — tubers — better, though.

I feel like I’m the only one who actually likes the new album more. I thought Fallen was OK, it’s just that the majority of the songs just seemed plain depressing. Most of the songs in TOD are really metal-ish, and…just stuff you could get up and dance to! I would certainly reccommend (sp?) getting TOD, or at least downloading…Sweet Sacrifice, CMWYS, and Cloud Nine.

in October 21st, 2006 @ 06:15100)Evanescence rules. Pwns. Rocks. I love them infinitely. I got their new cd, The Open Door, and yeah, I think it’s better than Fallen, though it’s good too. Here are the lyrics for one of my favorites, “Your Star”.
I can’t see your star
I can’t see your star
Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today
I can’t see your star
I can’t see your star
The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away
And I’m alone now
Me and all I stood for
We’re wandering now
All in parts and pieces
Swim lonely
Find your own way out
……..
How can the darkness feel so wrong?
……..
It’s growing colder
Without your love
Why can’t you feel me
Calling your name
Can’t break the silence
It’s breaking me
……..
Fear I felt turned to rageSorry that I couldn’t remember it all very well. Some of my favorite Evanescence songs are “Tourniquet” (on Fallen), “CMWYS”, “Like You”, and “All That I’m Living For”. They rock!!!!

in October 21st, 2006 @ 13:29I was listening to Primordial again the other day and I realized why I liked it that much. While it might not be technically impressive, it’s true, emotional music. When he sings, you can feel his utter anguish at witnessing the natural world be destroyed the way it is. Very intense and heavy feelings.

in October 21st, 2006 @ 16:58102- I’m also planing on getting some Nightwish music. And I wouldn’t say it’s crap if your only reason is that the others need more appreciation. never mind, you say later that the lyrics are bad. I dunno, I’d have to go read them to see if I agree/disagree. I like Hello, My Immortal, Holding my last breath and tracks 7 and 8 on fallen especially. (sorry, I haven’t listened to it in a while I don’t remember the titles)

in October 22nd, 2006 @ 17:58117- YES! AND IT BUGS THE HECK OUT OF ME!!!
Also bugging me: ripped up jeans and crudely stitched blouses that cost hundreds of dollars. Apparently, those are modeled off of the ’60s hippie idea of non-consumerism and “wear your jeans till they die” and marketing that is just so backwards. My mom says that it is a consumerism victory and that our need to acquire will kill us all.
119- Um, yes they were. They got big in 1964 and broke up in 1970.

in October 23rd, 2006 @ 15:111. What was the last album you bought?
I usually just listen to whatever my sister buys. I think I like playing music more.
2. What are you listening to right now?
Nothing.
3.Whose concert did you go to last?
The DSO (Detroit symphony Orchestra)
4. What are your top five most hated songs?
Anything rap or anything that repeats itself over and over
5.Your top five most liked?
I don’t know- I kinda like a variety as long as it doesn’t sound like anything from the last question.(rap,ect)
6. What covers of songs do you like best?
I don’t know
7. What band/artist apparrel do you own?
Not really anything
8. What time of day do you listen to music?
Usually whenever I’m hanging out with my friends or relaxing or something.
9. What players do you have?
A cd/radio and a portable cd player. You would not believe how quickly it uses batteries!!! My dad also hooked something up so now the whole house can listen to something played upstairs, even if you are in the basement, but nobody in our house has the same musical preference.
10. What radio station do you listen to?
It depends on how I’m feeling, but mostly 105.1126 I do not like ripped up jeans either. Why would you pay to get ruined clothing??

in October 24th, 2006 @ 00:50Queenie’s Questionaire for Musers
1.What was the last album you bought?
Brothers in Arms- Dire Straits and Forbidden Love ep- Death Cab for Cutie (I bought them at the same time)
2.What are you listening to right now?
My sister’s sleeping, so nothing.
3.Whose concert did you go to last?
Last night I went to The Decemberists and it was HOOPY!!!!
4.What are your Top 5 most hated songs?
1) Sugar, We’re going down 2) I write sin/songs (?), not tragedies 3) My Humps 4) Wake me up when september ends 5) This Love
5.And your Top 5 most liked?
GAAh!! Hard question. um. 1) Sultans of Swing 2) New Slang 3) New Song 4) Taxman 5) Aicha (not the stupid crappy english version, but the REAL french-arabic one)
6.What covers of songs did you like best?
The Postal Service cover of Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine
Cake’s cover of I will Survive
Jimi Hendrix’s “The Star Spangled Banner”
7.What band/artist apparel do you own?
Cake Shirt
Decemberists shirt
my rule about band apparel is that I don’t wear it unless I own an album by the band it’s from. I hate all the stupid poseurs who wear band shirts to look cool.
Beatles undies.
8.What time of the day do you listen to music?
Whenever I feel like it.
9.What players do you have? Headphones?
nngeh.. crappy old speakers that I found in the garage that hook up to my computer. And a cd player. and those stupid annoying little earbud headphones.
(in my dreams, a really nice non-iPod mp3 player and a pair of big bose headphones)
10. What radio do you listen to?
I hate radio music. With a bloody passion. There are no good stations where I live.So The Decmberists concert was incroyable!!!!!!! Steven wore his frog hat thing and the lead singer took it and put it on his head. My section leader was there and got his cell phone signed. They played a lot of new stuff, but of course they finished off with the old fav., 16 Military Wives. They split up the audience and had us sing the refrain. It was so mush fun.

†FrigidSymphony†With Odin On Our Sides, Our Souls Burning With Pride
in October 25th, 2006 @ 13:15137: You understand. Finally. Don’t you like Manowar, though??? Aesome… However, I feel I need to impart my metal wisdom to you. DragonForce: Undeserving of the many exclamation marks. Herman Li and Sam Totman are fast players, but sloppy. The songs all sound the same and the lyrics are bad. I probably like only two songs, after that it gets boring. And it really pisses me off when I see kids going around saying how “Dragonforce has teh best guitarists evah” when they don’t even know who Zakk Wylde is, for God’s sake. Also, Nirvana has no place on the same list as Dream Evil, Morbid Angel, Megadeth, ecc. Kurt Cobain was one of the most overrated guys ever. He couldn’t play guitar, and most of the hit songs of Nevermind were written by his producer. In fact, he wouldn’t even have gotten as famous as he did if he hadn’t blown his bloody brains out. Next, Cradle of Filth. The older stuff is far superior to the newer (except maybe Nymphetamine). Pure black metal, none of this new mass appealing crap. And when you say Metallica, I sincerely hope you don’t include St. Anger. One of the worst records ever. If you want an explanation, I’ll give you one, but not now. It would take up too much space.
Spelling Corrections: YngwIE Malmsteen; MegadEth; RammstEIn.
So, you would probably like pretty much anything I recommend, seeing as we have sort of the same tastes, but living in Europe I have much wider access to a much more varied metal selection.
Some big Power Metal bands here you’d like (and are far superior to DF) :
Blind Guardian
Sonata Arctica
Edguy
Rhapsody
Children of Bodom
Manowar

†FrigidSymphony†With Odin On Our Sides, Our Souls Burning With Pride
in November 2nd, 2006 @ 10:37156: Currently, CoF appeal to whimpy goth teenagers who think that cutting and satan ist krieg. They used to be underground pure black and death, then they altered their sound to appeal to more people.
And about DF: Don’t entirely stop listening to them. Inhuman Rampage isn’t really that good, but I enjoy Sonic Firestorm, mainly for the catchy melodies, and Valley of The Dammned is pretty good too. And if you’re interested in good metal, I’d recommend the metal forum I post on. It’s mentioned in other threads, tha GAPAs didn’t zap it, and I’ll try to post it again here. metalreviews.com (with www. before, obviously)

in November 3rd, 2006 @ 22:16I had the coolest singing experience the other day. It was during second lunch, and Mia and I were bored. We decided to go hang out in the stairwell, b/c there’s a heater there (Our skool is freaking freezing). Somehow, we both ended up singing. It was sooo neat to hear my voice all alone there…It was kind of echo-ey.
Has anyone heard of a song called Water Night? We just started that in choir…It’s very…haunting. Yeah, that’s the word for it. But it’s sooo cool – One of those songs where you’re low and quiet one moment, and then high and piercingly loud the next.

in November 4th, 2006 @ 02:38(158) that sounds like fun! Once, I was in a tunnel-drainage thing that under and overpass and I started singing and it was cool. Except I have a terribke voice, so it probably wasn’t quite as groovy as your exoerience.
I realized the problem with modern music. No dynamic contrast. It’s all either blahstissimo or BLASTissimo.

†FrigidSymphony†With Odin On Our Sides, Our Souls Burning With Pride
in November 5th, 2006 @ 11:58163: I was at the polytechnic in Helsinki, at the pop and jazz department. Apparently the bassist from the Rasmus studied there. But what was really funny was when the director of the school was asked about HIM by a colleague. He said “Ville Valo doesn’t know bollocks about music”. It warms my heart to know that there are people high up in the music schools who don’t like HIM either. If you’re gonna talk about finnish bands, then HIM are far down the line.

in November 10th, 2006 @ 20:34(169) Woah! That’s really cool! Congrats, all-state is impressive. What do you play?
Hello FS, how are you? What music do you like other than metal, seeing as I have failed miserably to try listening to it as I promised I would? Yeah, sorry about that. It was really hard to find any of the bans you suggested and I can’t get anywhere unless I have a ride, which I don’t normally. But seriously, what are some non-metal musicians you like, other than Zepplin and Hendrix and the ones you’ve already mentioned.
You know who I hate? John Phillip Sousa. If I have to play “Stars and Stripes forever” one more time, I’ll choke on my clarinet. Which is sad, because I’m marching in the Macy’s Day parade and will have to play it for 45 minutes striaight (along with a few other tunes).

curious and questioning
in November 11th, 2006 @ 14:05In my music life: Chorus((name of district)Select Chorus) eats up most of my free time, I’m eagerly awaiting the results of All-County Band, my iPod is an alarm clock, I should be practicing now. I like classical but there’s too many choices so I get confused and don’t often buy it, Broadway soundtracks but usually only for what I’ve seen, and Weird Al/Tom Lehrer/that kind of stuff.
105-1. Last thing I bought-White&Nerdy video, iTunes;last album I imported, Straight Outta Lynwood; before that, Wicked soundtrack. Last album I bought, didn’t borrow from family member, not sure. A long time ago.
2. Nothing, last thing I listened to was Defying Gravity last night, if it was a weekday my alarm is this classical thing.
3. I’ve never been to a “famous person concert”, (I wasn’t allowed to go to the Poodle Hat concert but I’m planning to go to the next one in our area that I’m here for); I sang with the chorus I’m in a few weekends ago at this interfaith celebration at a local college chapel.
4. No idea specifically, but I hate rap and hip-hop in general.
5. 1.Your Horoscope For Today, Weird Al; 2. We didn’t Start The Fire, Billy Joel; 3. Seasons of Love, Rent; 4. Think of Me, Phantom of the Opera; 5. Good Morning Baltimore, Hairspray.
6. What’s a cover?
7. none
8. Whenever I have time and remember to, usually on long car rides and not that often.
9. 5th gen. 30 gig. white video iPod, some portable CD player I never use now that I have my iPod, headphones that have these things that loop around the back of your ear, for lack of a better description.
10. I don’t often listen to radio by choice, and I have no idea what the horrible music they play on the school bus is.

1.What was the last album you bought? i don’t. i steal songs off my friends.
2.What are you listening to right now? You’d better shop around-Smokey robinson
3.Whose concert did you go to last? …oh man, it’s been a while. i don’t really go to concerts. i think that would be bowling for soup at the ohio fair…wow, that was a long time ago…
4.What are your Top 5 most hated songs? rap. i don’t really have a top 5 list.
5.And your Top 5 most liked? there are so many…
6.What covers of songs did you like best? i rarely see the covers. see q 1. i’m assuming you mean like album covers?
7.What band/artist apparel do you own? none
8.What time of the day do you listen to music? whenever i can…latin, after skool, at night (yes, occasionally while i sleep), at crew, whenever
9.What players do you have? Headphones? an ipod shuffle, although i’m thinking of getting a used mini with what’s left of my b-day money. i don’t know though, i love my shuffle but i’m just running out of space. and i think i’d have to sell it to get enough money, but i’d still want to use it because it’s really useful…i don’t know, i guess when it comes down to it i wouldn’t really use a mini that much. if only they were shuffle-sized *sigh* i could get a nano but i’m not too fond of them for some reason. My headphones say Philips SBC HS430 whatever that means. they’re pretty nice. me ♥ them. XD
10. What radio do you listen to? none.

in November 12th, 2006 @ 12:00172-i feel for you. on a slightly smaller level. We had to play it in the veteran’s day parade like a million times over. But not for 45 min. straight.
so i was randomly looking up lyrics to my songs as they came on my trusty shuffle, even though i know most of them by heart anyway, and i got to riders on the storm by the doors. quite disturbed. still love the song though. but really.
that makes the third song i have that really swears (meaning, fasterisk not just dasterisk and helasterisk) (cheers to monty for the asterisking) but Who are you is the only one that really counts because in riders on the storm it’s pretty much just a scream and in love shack, the kareoke version says “funky little shack” but i still think it definitely sounds like something else.
anyhoo.
my ipod ran out of batteries two days ago, so i brought it to my dad and asked him to recharge it when he had a chance (he was doing something on the comp) so i leave and he puts it in and then turns the comp off. so it doesn’t charge, and i am sad. fortunately it’s charged now, thanks to moi and not him.

Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out riding fences for so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehowDon’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best betNow it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can’t getDesperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they’re driving you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all aloneDon’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
You’re losing all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be raining, but there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late

in November 12th, 2006 @ 20:59I hear the train a comin’
it’s rolling round the bend
and I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when,
I’m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin’ on
but that train keeps a rollin’ on down to San Anton..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
now every time I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry..I bet there’s rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they’re probably drinkin’ coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can’t be free
but those people keep a movin’
and that’s what tortures me…Well if they’d free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move just a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that’s where I want to stay
and I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away…(Fulsom Prison Blues, Johnny Cash, if you didn’t guess)

in November 12th, 2006 @ 21:16ooh! I like this one:
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much spaceAnd when you’re out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough
I just knew too muchDoes that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
ProbablyAnd I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that’s my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you’re in controlWell, I think you’re crazy
I think you’re crazy
I think you’re crazy
Just like meMy heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I wanna be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it’s no coincidence I’ve come
And I can die when I’m doneMaybe I’m crazy
Maybe you’re crazy
Maybe we’re crazy
Probably(Gnarls Barkley, Crazy)

in November 14th, 2006 @ 20:54189-very true, very true.
my dad gets annoyed sometimes when he hears money for nothing by dire straits because he says it was the most overplayed song ever in college.
we all need somebody to leeeeeaaaan on…
they play that for the curtain call
been stuck in head
arrgh!
we were all singing it afterwards too, which didn’t help
*beats head on wall*
anyway
out cometh trusty ipod to solve that
and since i feel like it, y’all get the lyrics of the first song that comes on.
that’d be…gypsies in the palace. whee!
“In days of old, when knights were bold,
And journeyed from their castles,
Trusty men were left behind,
Knights needed not the hassles.
They helped themselves to pig and peach,
And drank from King’s own chalice.
Oh, it was a stirring sight
These gypsies in the palace.”
“And as I told my friend Zachary Richard, when you leave home, some things never change.”“Hit it!”
So long boss, knock ’em dead, don’t you worry ’bout a thing
I wish that we could come along, we’d love to hear you sing
The limo’s here, your bags are packed
The list is by the phone
Me and Snake will watch your place, treat it like our ownLook at all this liquor
Look at all this food
It’s only gonna go to waste
We’re not really being rude
But the good stuff’s in his closet, I swear he wouldn’t mind
Hell we’ll just shoot the lock off, I do it all the timeWe’re gypsies in the palace, He’s left us here alone
The Order of the Sleepless Knights
Will now assume the throne
We ain’t got no money, we ain’t got no right
But we’re gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonightThere’s damsels in distress up there
And we got all this beer
We’ll free them from their condos
Bring ’em over here
We’ll show them his gold records
Play his music loud
We’ll party just like Bubba does
We’ll do the old man proudWe’re gypsies in the palace, there ain’t no wrong or right
We’re gypsies in the palace, and a’ goin’ wild tonightHe’s the greatest guy to work for, man he’s really cool
Hey Snake this party’s gettin’ dull
Throw someone in the pool
Let’s all take our clothes off and form a conga line
Watch out for that broken glass, hey Snake we need more wineWe’re gypsies in the palace, there ain’t no wrong or right
We’re gypsies in the palace, and we’re raisin’ hell tonightHi there boss, what’s goin’ on
You say you’re coming WHEN?
I’ll send Snake out to pick you up tomorrow night at ten,
OKAY!
Everybody outta here, this joint is closin’ down
We gotta find someone to clean this up
He’s comin’ back to townHi there boss we waxed your car
We raked and mowed your lawn
We couldn’t find enough to do
In the short time you were gone
Man it sure is peaceful here, you’ve really got it all
And if we ever hit the road again, give me and Snake a callWe’re gypsies in the palace, he’s left us here alone
The Order of the Sleepless Knights
Will now assume the throne
We ain’t got no money, we ain’t got no right
But we’re gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonight

in November 18th, 2006 @ 00:17(166) I love that song. But then it got all popular, and started being overplayed. As everything is, as FS said. But I like that song because of
1) the pulsing bass
2) the guy’s voice- holy hummus, a singer who actually hits some notes with clarity, instead of this pathetic, sctrachy, whiny stiff you get most of the time.
3) the lyrics, because they work so well with the song.Ya know, Gnarls Barkley is actually just 2 guys? A DJ who does all the instrumental stuff and a singer.
I saw this awesome electric guitar version of the classical peice Canon on YouTube. And Baba O’Reilly on the keyboard.Must find sheet music.

in November 22nd, 2006 @ 15:07I want Sonata Arctica’s Draw Me played during my funeral… Check it out, beautiful song…
And you should really go check out the Tenacious D, I’m sure wal-mart carries a clean version full of beeps. But if you really want to laugh your arse off get the explicit version.
Now, two questions to the GAPAS:
1: can we get a part three as soon as we reach 200 posts? (Oh, look at that! what a coincidence…)
2: Do I have your permission to use the word “f***k” to quote Tenacious D songs and make everyone laugh?

in November 23rd, 2006 @ 19:51I like Coldplay, Butterfly Boucher, some country, some jazz, clazacal, wee, actually I like mostly anything except rap. I don’t like rap. Or metal, to much. I end up liking the openers that are mostly instumental a lot but not really the screaming and yelling… I havn’t heard much, though. I did listen to a band FS suggested(elvelute or somthing, I’m totally lost on the spelling) that was pretty good. I like the instuments a lot but not so much the singing.

in November 24th, 2006 @ 13:18Whoooo…..music thread.
I was at a TSO concert on Saturday. My retinas are completely shot. But it was brilliant. And much better live than on the CDs. Well, the opera singer was a little off at first, but completely made up for it. The lighting was amazing. When they played A Last Illusion [my favourite piece of theirs] the strobe lights perfectly matched the beat of the music, and made me wish I wore sunglasses.
Not to mention the pyrotechnics! In pretty colours. Complete with sparks of what seemed like Mg. Ouch. It was so worth it. Especially because I got a guitar pick from one of the musicians *SQUEE*
They had great stage presence, too. They were so into the music, it was great. And the lead guitarist and the electric violinist did kicks and hurdles that put my school’s second-in-the-state cheerleading squad to shame. And the bass player had amazing hair. I am so jealous. Just had to say that.
Queenie’s Questionaire for Musers
1.What was the last album you bought?
—Something with Celtic music and flutes and nature sounds…
2.What are you listening to right now?
—Coin-Operated Boy by the Dresden Dolls. Terribly catchy.
3.Whose concert did you go to last?
—Battle of the Bands at my school on Wednesday. It sucked.
4.What are your Top 5 most hated songs?
—Oh, a rant! Yay!
Anything AC/DC or Led Zep, excluding the Immigrant Song, but only because it makes mythology references. I’m such a mythology buff it’s crazy.
5.And your Top 5 most liked?
—Can’t choose, so I’ll take a random five from my iPod:
*hits shuffle*
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) by Marvin Gaye
Le Bel Age by Pat Benatar
Hammer to Fall by Queen
100 Percent by Angelspit
Fire On High by the Electric Light Orchestra
6.What covers of songs did you like best?
—TMBG’s Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas)…..
7.What band/artist apparel do you own?
—I don’t know….the last t-shirt I got was from the TSO concert…
8.What time of the day do you listen to music?
—All the time, except for during class….mostly…..
9.What players do you have?
—iPod, 30GB, picture and video enabled, black
Headphones?
—The ones that came with my iPod, and SONY Dynamic Stereo Headphones MDR-V150. Which I got really cheap at Wal-Mart ages ago. But they work well.
10. What radio do you listen to?
—Pandora, if at all.New question: What was the first album you ever purchased?
For me it was seriously a Best of Beethoven compilation. No joke.
96- (Penty) Get a rhyming dictionary?
About Evanescence- I love the songs that are just Amy and the piano, but the rest does not strike me.
117/126- Eew, I hate that. Most of those people are too young to have actually been at those concerts, too!!! And ripped jeans? I have a pair of jeans that I’ve owned since the ninth grade that are only a bit tattered at the bottoms of the legs. Which happens within a month of my owning a pair of pants. Pathetic. Actually, the only time I have ever gotten holes in my jeans was when I slid down the carpeting in my hallway. In like fourth grade. I had scabs on my knees for months.
156-157- I love Nymphetamine, and some of the more melodic, older songs.
164- It’s great to know that about HIM, indeed. One of my cousins is obsessed with them. It’s quite sad, especially because she’s a self-labeled “vegan skinbird.” Last year, I had to sit through rendition after rendition of her every HIM concert experience. It was unhealthy.
180- One of my all-time favourite songs. I am trying to manage it on the piano, but school and NaNo has eaten my life…so…I hardly have time to practice.
187- I loathe Lips of an Angel. From the first time I heard it, I have hated it. Get Stoned [I think that was the name] is even worse.
205- I love Styx!
206- Daylight by Coldplay is soooooo magical. Love that song!
And classical music is the pwnage. I’ve been to quite a few classical concerts performed by my state’s philharmonic orchestra. And will gladly admit it.
Swear off MTV, VH1….the lot of it. PBS sometimes does broadcast good concerts, though. I nearly died laughing when they ran an old ABBA show.
Big Band and Blues are awesome. Benny Goodman is my hero.
YouTube had a Butterfly Boucher video…she’s pretty good, I guess…
I found two of the bands FS suggested. Doing a minimum of searching. Hammerfall, and the one who’s name I can’t spell but is the word for the souls of warriors off to Valhalla. Catchy to the nth power.
My mythology buff kicking in.
Anyway, you should all try John Denver. Particularly Eagles and Horses. It’s been one of my favourite songs since the second grade.
Song you should all listen to right now: Wild Thing, by the Troggs. Have you ever seen them [as in a picture]? It makes the song even more hillarious.

Okay, I shall try to introduce a new topic.
Because we’ve pretty much been discussing what music we like. And a bit of what we don’t like. So.
Questions:
1. Do you sing? Elaborate.
2. Do you play an(y) instrument(s)? If so, which instrument(s)?
3. …And how long have you been playing it?
4. And are you attempting to learn any new instruments?
5. Do you write song lyrics? If so, how and what kind?
6. Do you write music? If so, how, how often, for what instrument, and what kind?
7. Do you improvise when playing? [anything, be it original or not]

in November 25th, 2006 @ 15:46SMs questionaire:
1: Yes. I sing thrash, low power metal, and death metal vocals.
2: I play guitar. And I’m bloody good at it.
3: 2 years. But I’m better than the guitarist in our band, who’s been playing for 4 years. I’m also totally modest.
4: Nope.
5: I make up lyrics or poems in my head, then write them down. for poems I use correct metric structure, correct amount of sillables, etc. I write sopngs about death, decomposing, rebirth, religion and politics.
6: I write riffs and melodies for guitar.
7: I improvise all the time. that’s how I write a good riff, you improvise something, and if it sounds good, it sticks. Also during solos. Find the right key and rip!and is that “splendid” referring to Savatage?

in November 25th, 2006 @ 18:031. Do you sing? Elaborate.
eh, yeah, but not seriously- basically just along with CDs, whatever music’s playing in my head, etc.
2. Do you play an(y) instrument(s)? If so, which instrument(s)?
Violin. Viola, to some extent as well. Kazoo, hammered dulcimer, guitar, thumb piano badly. I know where the notes are on a piano.
3. …And how long have you been playing it?
10 years, for violin. I’m decent at it- I placed 2nd at all-state, but a lot of the good people didn’t try and I’ll probably not be able to keep that in the seating auditions.
4. And are you attempting to learn any new instruments?
currently, no.
5. Do you write song lyrics? If so, how and what kind?
nope, except I did a takeoff on Back in the USSR for Chem class.
6. Do you write music? If so, how, how often, for what instrument, and what kind?
Not recently.
7. Do you improvise when playing? [anything, be it original or not]
yeah, haven’t had time to recently..

I probably should have filled it out, too, eh?
213- You are probably the most modest person I know. xD. In a positive way, though. And, yes, the “splendid” did refer to Savatage.
214- Impressive. And I love the word, “kazoo!” What was your takeoff on Back in the USSR about? The elements? Reactions? Stoichiometry?
215/6- Dude, stick with the piano. I wanted to quit one year and am so glad that I did not. Though I have been through manymany teachers. The current one is awesome. Seriously, try improvising, too.
217- Harmonica. That’s hard. Like to just get one note. Kudos to you. I applaud your answers to the last three.
1. Do you sing? Elaborate.
—Rarely. I was in chorus in my old school. Alto. Really quiet, but that’s because I’m really shy offline. And I sing the lumberjack song regularly…
2. Do you play an(y) instrument(s)? If so, which instrument(s)?
—Piano. I can do flute and violin, too, but I rarely play them. And recorder, but that doesn’t count.
3. …And how long have you been playing it?
—Piano, about 11-12 years. Violin, since 4th grade, and flute, since fifth.
4. And are you attempting to learn any new instruments?
—Guitar. I’m horrible, and jump up every ten seconds going, “Oow! My fingers!” I can play a grand total of two songs decently.
5. Do you write song lyrics? If so, how and what kind?
—Yeah. Mostly depressing stuff. About insanity, death, and water. To meter. I count and use a rhyming dictionary every once and a while.
6. Do you write music? If so, how, how often, for what instrument, and what kind?
—Cabaret-type music for the piano, often. Occasionally, short melodies in minor keys.
7. Do you improvise when playing? [anything, be it original or not]
—Yeah. Huzzah for the recording feature in my synthesizer. And I screw with left-hand chords whenever I play my lessons…

in November 25th, 2006 @ 22:56Lovely. That number is so convenient. Especially when I have to find out the energy emitted by one mole of photons traveling at a wavelength of 234.5nm. Or something cool like that.
That probably does not belong on this thread… but it has seriously altered my brain. Now, I look at lights, thinking, hey, that colour has a frequency of x.xxx times 10^x s^-1. Or something weird like that. I need help.
Anywhoooo, does anyone else here hate playing staccato on the piano when it’s supposed to be piano? Soft and choppy. I hate it. Then long stretches of legato, only to be interrupted once again by pedal-less staccato!!!!!!
Does anyone have piano recitals? Or recitals of anything, for that matter…. But I can only relate to the piano ones. I avoid them as best I can. Someone will always play Fur Elise [too lazy for the umlaut], a little kid will play a shortened version of Beethoven’s ninth, some college-bound dude with slicked hair will play a ten-page song that repeats several times, and, finally, a girl with ridiculously straight hair and a big nose will make a minor error, cry, and run out of the room. Eck. Not fun.
But this is a happy thread full of love, magic, musick, and all sorts of gloriousness. So, now for some happiness!
And more thread-hogging with really long posts.
I like the song that plays when The Sims: Makin’ Magic loads up. The same music that plays in the Magic Town neighbourhood and all. It is so loudly crisp I can barely stand it!
I have CDs of weird music these people at this fair by where I live perform… They are from some place in South America, Peru, I think, and have a cool, ethnic sound. Lately, I’ve been listening to all-instrumental music. Theirs involves flutes. I love the sound of flutes.
And Celtic music plus flutes is awesome, too.
So is distorted, almost-completely-synthesized cyberpunk. Randomness.
I like playing short, modern pieces on the piano. They’re cute, and take about half an hour each to completely learn and memorize. Which is also why I love them. I have an entire book of them, and another rather large volume of short, easy pieces from classic to modern. I seriously just learn them when I’m bored. It’s virtually effortless.
Okay, shutting up now… Or not…
Wow, this thread is filling up quickly. I heart the music threads. One of my five faves. Music, Hot Topics, Random threads, Poetry [though I mostly lurk], and Words&Names. Just in case you [plural] cared. I like saying “you [plural].” But this is probably getting annoying. Do my posts annoy anyone here? I really hope not.

Have you heard Berlioz’s Fantastic Symphony? Because it is an amazing piece which I have been in love with since the seventh grade. But you need to read the description of it. Like what all of the sounds mean and all of that.
*random witch cackle*
And Thus Spoke Zoroaster, though I cannot remember the composer. Suffice to say that you have probably heard it before, either in that addictive chicken invader killing game of a few years ago or in recent commercials.
Tomorrow I shall be back with the descriptions of many more wonderful classical to modern pieces.
And everyone knows Handel.

in November 29th, 2006 @ 18:261. Do you sing? Elaborate.
Yes, sort of. I like to sing, I sing in musicals, I’m off key, my voice sounds pretty I’m not the best singer and not in choir or take voice or anything though. I just like to sing and sing in musicals.
2. Do you play an(y) instrument(s)? If so, which instrument(s)?
I would play my violin if it hadn’t broken… the bridge decided to snap in two. I took violin from k-4th grades, my parents made me switch to piano which I played from 4th-7th then in eigth grade I tried flute. Violin is by far my favorite though. I really should get it fixed.
3. …And how long have you been playing it?
well.. off and on not the whole time but eleven years. but actually playing for like maybe three? I’ve just known how for eleven.
4. And are you attempting to learn any new instruments?
no, but I’m teaching myself to play violin better if it weren’t broken
5. Do you write song lyrics? If so, how and what kind?
I try sometimes. I write poems though. I want to write some lyrics for my brother’s band someday
6. Do you write music? If so, how, how often, for what
instrument, and what kind?
On finalenotepad sometimes. Not very often though. Maybe I’ll write some over winter break. and usually for violin or harp or random things.
7. Do you improvise when playing? [anything, be it original or not]
yup. I like improvising it’s what i mainly do. I can usually play things I’ve heard before, I’m much worse at playing actual sheet music.

FrigidSymphony We Came, We Saw, We Conquered You All, We Came, We Saw, We Live By The Sword!
in November 30th, 2006 @ 14:05For all you Evanescence freaks out there: The Open Door sucks. Fallen was much better. Here’s a review taken from metalreviews.com, a respectable professional reivew site:
“The Open Door should perhaps be accredited to Amy Lee rather than Evanescence; throughout the album the rest of the band just don’t seem to get a look-in. The whole album is a platform for Amy to whine like a turbo about her poor life, aiming her wrath at all those who have pissed her off: Ben Moody – ex lead guitarist, co-founder and co-songwriter; ex bassist William Boyd; ex boyfriend Seether’s Shaun Morgan (Call Me When You’re Sober, I wonder who that’s about then?) and a fan who stalked her for a while. I know many, many songs are written from the heart but virtually a whole album full of self-pitying, oh poor me maudling makes you want to give her a good shake and tell her to get over herself. Even though guitarist Terry Balsamo gets recognized as co-songwriter, you have to wonder where his contribution is exactly. And here’s me been under the impression that there is no ‘I’ in ‘Band’.
Many bands’ second albums don’t quite match up to their debut; be it because they have decided to take a different direction; haven’t had the time to let loose their creativity because of touring; been under pressure from their label or myriad other reason. Then again, there are many band’s whose second album puts them on the musical map – Trivium anyone. The Open Door is strange in that it is more of the same of debut Fallen but stripped, shaved and pared down to the bare bones. Apart from Amy taking front and centre, (on her high horse) she keeps the attention on herself by dueting with her piano, even though more credit should probably be given to Mozart or Beethoven than to any original Amy Lee piano arranging. Gone are the crunchy, chugging guitar riffs and the soaring, memorable choruses; in their place are some electronic orchestra, programming and sampling, courtesy of DJ Lethal. When I hear the words electronic, programming and sampling to describe musical content and somebody called DJ something-or-another, ‘Nu-Metal’ pops into my head, and if Nu-Metal has been dying a slow death for a number of years now, why dump it in your new album? Perhaps the lack of serious guitaring is due to Terry Balsamo having a stroke aged 32, which he puts down to long-time headbanging. Even though, the guitaring sounds like he wandered into the studio, bashed out a few power chords into Pro-Tools and they were then copied and pasted wherever required. In fact, that goes for Bass and Drums as well, it sounds like they played the minimum they could get away with relying on Amy and her piano to carry the album.
Fallen went multi platinum shifting over 14.5 million to Pseudo-Goth Mallrats worldwide. Fallen was their entry record to what they thought was Metal, as many who should have known better labelled it. Many of these Mallrats have now matured and advanced into the realm of genuine Goth / Gothic and other Metal bands and other female fronted bands but will probably blindly buy The Open Door just through loyalty to their first ‘Metal’ band. That and your hormone fuelled fan-boy, or fan-girl lusting after the delectable Ms Lee. However, because they have progressed on to heavier bands, I think many of them are going to be disappointed that The Open Door doesn’t cut it for them any more. As they are presenting themselves on The Open Door, hold Evanescence up to bands such as Tarja era Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, To-Mera et al you will find them sorely lacking.
While writing this review, (end November 06) The Open door has went platinum in the US. Somehow I can’t seem to get out of my mind the kind of person who is going to buy this album. If you think back to all the under-age drinking parties, open-house parties and other parties where copious amounts of hooch were consumed, have you ever noticed that invariably, just before everything goes pear-shaped, there always seems to be a girl sitting on the stairs, bawling her eyes out, uttering things like “Why?â€, “The Bastard!â€, “But I love him.â€, “The Bitch!†etc. She’s always surrounded by so-called friends trying to tell her that He / She / It is not worth it yet secretly breathing a sigh of relief that they are not in this poor wretch’s shoes. They are the people who are going to devour this record. They’re gonna lock themselves in their room bawling into their teddy soaking up the ‘Poor Me’ lyrics and feel so much better that even the enormously successful Amy Lee gets dumped on and see her as some kind of kindred spirit. I suppose it takes a great deal of courage to air your personal problems, in song, to so many people, but to be honest, when your biggest problems are a couple of failed relationships and being hero worshipped by fans, you get to thinking “Get over yourself girl, be thankful for what you’ve got! namely an under-worked band that could produce some awesome music if you let go your selfish need to have everybody feeling sorry for you!â€
Okay, I know I’m gonna get slated for this review but c’mon, you know Evanescence is not just Amy Lee, and they can do much better than this as a BAND! Evanescence started of as Amy Lee, Ben Moody and some session musicians. If this album is anything to go by Evanescence is going to be Amy Lee…… Oh, and some other musicians if she doesn’t loosen the reins some. It’s even gone as far as their website where I had to do a whole lot of digging to find out who else done what in the band. Hopefully she’ll have got over herself for the next album and Evanescence will be back on track.”

curious and questioning
in December 3rd, 2006 @ 12:111. Do you sing? Elaborate.
You can’t be in school chorus and school band at the same time, but I’m in select chorus. I auditioned in sixth grade. We do community service stuff and sing where we’re asked to,which lately seems to be everywhere. I’m 1st soprano.
2. Do you play an(y) instrument(s)? If so, which instrument(s)?
Trombone, this starts my fifth year, in school. I’m in the school jazz band, school brass ensemble, and school eighth grade band (of course). And I’m in All-County band.
3. …And how long have you been playing it?
see above
4. And are you attempting to learn any new instruments?
No, are you crazy? I have little enough time as is.
5. Do you write song lyrics? If so, how and what kind?
No.
6. Do you write music? If so, how, how often, for what instrument, and what kind?
No.
7. Do you improvise when playing? [anything, be it original or not]
Not usually.

in December 3rd, 2006 @ 19:25For the most part I have given up finding people in daily life who have similar musical tastes. For every person who likes MCR (while I have no problem with the band) there’s someone like me who would rather listen to Antic Cafe or Remioromen. Sigh. No one bothers to read my posts anyway so it’s not like it matters.
Anyway. Survey from a bit back because I like surveys.
Queenie’s Questionnaire for Musers
1.What was the last album you bought?
Roentgen by HYDE. I love your solo works, Haido~2.What are you listening to right now?
Natsukage- Suga Shikao It;s such a nice slow song. Very relaxing. ^^3.Whose concert did you go to last?
T_T I have yet to attend a concert, because all the bands I like are not American.4.What are your Top 5 most hated songs?
I don’t like using ahte and music in the same sentence, but I really don’t like all these shallow songs that are so popular that are just about money and sex and partying or whatever.5.And your Top 5 most liked?
As of right now, since it changes so much:
– Gekkou- Asian Kung-Fu Generation
– Marmalade- Gackt
– Caress of Venus- L’Arc~en~Ciel
– Escapism- Antic Cafe
– Konayuki- Remioromen6.What covers of songs did you like best?
Hyde’s “Lucy in th Sky with Diamonds”7.What band/artist apparel do you own?
None, unfortunately for myself.8.What time of the day do you listen to music?
All the time.9.What players do you have?
iPod shuffle, soon to be some other form of iPod with more space.10: Headphones?
Hmm, JVC of some sort. Non-Apple, though.
10. What radio do you listen to?
Nothing. I do use radio.blog though,I’m so jealous of those of you who can actually play the piano and such. I wish I had an aptitude for music.

in December 4th, 2006 @ 20:31234- agreed on your first point as I haven’t read any of the rest of your post (I know, I know, bad e~a) Though come to think of it, I don’t own the open door but what I’ve heard of it’s songs on itunes, I didn’t like. I like Fallen but I wouldn’t call myself an Evanescence nut at all. Hmm… I really need to get some Nightwish. Keeping in mind I liked Fallen (especially the piano voice only songs) what do you guys recommed? (specific songs, bands, I’m up for anything) I also like TMBG, Franz Ferdinand, Matisyahu, soundtracks, Simon and Garfunkle. Now I really should actually read the whole thing…

in December 5th, 2006 @ 13:04245: I would recommend any european power metal band. The folk/pagan/viking metal bands are probably to heavy (except Elvenking and Mago De Oz, who are both insanely happy). Although beware the allure of the voice/piano tracks on The Open Door. She even stole stuff from Beethoven and Mozart and didn’t mention them anywhere in the credits, thinking she could get away with it! So we add Amy Lee to the list of persons FS hates. See post 79.

in December 9th, 2006 @ 00:43(198) I love Tenacious D. I want that album for xmas.
Questions:
1. Do you sing? Elaborate.
Only when I’m alone, because I’m horrible at hitting the right notes.
2. Do you play an(y) instrument(s)? If so, which instrument(s)?
Piano, clarinet, bass clarinet.
3. …And how long have you been playing it?
I’ve played piano 8 years. Clarinet, I played for one year, switched to bass clarinet for 3 years, and now I do both.
4. And are you attempting to learn any new instruments?
Umm, well, I’d like to improve my singing skills and learn to play acoustic guitar, but I haven’t done anything about it yet. I was also thinking about playing tuba in marching band next year.
5. Do you write song lyrics? If so, how and what kind?
No, not often, ‘cept an occasional parody. Well, atually, only done that once.
6. Do you write music? If so, how, how often, for what instrument, and what kind? I wish I did. I have ideas, but no skills. I make songs on GarageBand, but those don’t count as reall music.
7. Do you improvise when playing? [anything, be it original or not]
I learned a little about piano improv from Jazz Band last year…so I try once in a while.(233) mmm. In my experience…Classical. No, Romantic. No, Classical. Well, it depends. Classical to me seems cleaner, but Romantic can be more gripping. I am I right?
(242) What type of Music are those bands, Axa?
I got to see the NY Philharmonic perform Rachmaninoff’s theme on Paganini. It was excellent. I had fun trying to count the variations. Somewhere around the 15th was the best of the piece. A jewel of melody.
You know what I hate? Mainstream music that they play on radio. Seriously, the standards of music in this country have reached an all time low. By bus driver always plays the radio and I hate it.

I really hope stuart shows up because if he doesn’t i’ll be the only first trumpet there. Double-triple-fourple meep.

A trumpet is called a B flat trumpet, yet it’s concert B flat is a C. Why don’t they just call it a B flat if it sounds like one?45 posts until a new thread is allowed.

in December 12th, 2006 @ 20:39What exactly is the question? A trumpet is in the key of B flat, as are clarinets. Flutes are in concert key. Saxes, Baritones, F Horns, other instruments are in different keys. If you call it a B flat, the flutes will have to play differently. We trumpets are just one of the many unfortunate instruments that aren’t in concert key. I know, it makes sense that everything should revolve around the trumpets
but whoever made all that up didn’t think so.

in December 14th, 2006 @ 23:40(257) Sorry FS. Once more, I fail you. Who is this?
Today we watched One by Metallica in Writing and Lit. (We just read Johnny Got his Gun). It was really good!
So the music was awesome, because Metallica, well I don’t know anything about Metallica, but it seemed to me that their drummer was incredible and it had all these really edgy, yet strangely clear guitar riffs and I liked it.
And the video was awesome! They captured the creepyness and despair really well.(Background info for those who have no idea what I’m talking about;
Johnny Got His Gun is a WWI novel about a guy who loses his legs, arms and face when a bomb goes off, so he can think but can’t talk, hear, sea, smell, taste or move around. There was a movie made out of it, and then Metallica did a song and music video with clips from the movie)

in December 14th, 2006 @ 23:50*double post*
I will attempt to explain, but shall probably fail because I’m not even sure if I know what I”m talking about.
Different instruments are in different keys. This means that the same pitch has a different name for different instruments. A B flat on a trumpet is a C on a piano. This made things very hard for conductors trying to tune up bands. So they decided that key of C, which is what the piano is in, would be concert key. Then, when the conductor says “play a C”, you don’t have fifty different instruments saying “well who’s C, yours or mine?” Everyone just knows that the conductor is talking about concert C. Unfortunately, as Ebeth pointed out, this is sad for instruments like trumpets and clarinets, because they have to learn to quickly transpose in their heads.
So Concert B flat on a trumpet is called C because on the trumpet because that is what it’s called, but the pitch of the note is a concert B flat. I have no idea why it has to be so complicated, except that that’s just sort of the way life is.Last night I learned how to play the autoharp. It pwns.

in December 15th, 2006 @ 10:40*confused* So wait, on band instruments, “b-flat” or “a” or “f-sharp” doesn’t automatically mean the same note on everything?
Okay, so all of you (especially those of us who play weddings/cello) need to go on you-tube and search for pachelbel rant. It is hilarious. And true.

in December 16th, 2006 @ 15:15Meh. Finally back. I blame chem and NaNo. So much for my last post [231]. I’m a fiend.
233- Any and all. Okay, I like baroque the best.
237- *reacts* I heard the same thing from a friend who’s friend got the CD early [bootleg, probably]. Evanescence pretty much died with out Moody. Therefore, I didn’t get the new album. But if Amy Lee ever did a solo album with just pianos and vocals, I would consider getting it.
257- Erm, no.
258- For whatever reason, I like St. Anger. Just throwing that out there. The song, that is, not the entire album…
Wheee, posting. And now it’s time to eat.
By the way, I saw a Hammerfall album in Best Buy the other day. While the store was playing I Don’t Feel Like Dancing by the Scissor Sisters. It’s been in my head ever since. That song is so horribly catchy.

in December 17th, 2006 @ 13:25263: First, St. Anger is horrible. The drums are awful, it sounds like he’s drumming on tin cans. The backing vocals are off (Kirk, you’re a good guitar player, but you CANNOT SING!). The song is 7 minutes of just the same thing over and over again. ugh.
Hammerfall, on the other hand, is awesome. Buy every single album you see, except for maybe Chapter IV: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken. My faves are the latest (Threshold) and the third, Renegade.

in January 11th, 2007 @ 06:20i had a band concert last night. i don’t think we failed quite as badly as we thought we would. But still. Jazz band was good though. Jazz band’s always good. We just pwn.
(actually it’s because the only people in it actually want to be in it…but that’s still pwnage)Did i mention my recent discovery of phish? Actually it wasn’t terribly recent and i only found three songs, one of which i ♥ one of which is good, and one of which is ok. but still. oh and in looking up the lyrics to something i noticed they did a song called golgi apparatus. If fedner had been online to get it for me, leeny’s and my science project would’ve totally pwned b/c we would have played it in the background and gotten all the extra credit. Oh well.
Oh, and crandall tried to make me join full orchestra…she stopped me in the hall and was like “it’s not too late to join if you want to! you’re welcome to join!” i could just feel the nudgenudgewinkwinkness. but i don’t really want to this year…mebbe next year i will. Hecht wants me to do pit for titanic, but no way. pit is kind of hell, plus i’m ushering. Ushering’s so much fun, you don’t really do anything and you get to watch the show for free. Or go in the hallway and mess around with the friends that you forced into servitude (aka “helping out”)
Anyhoo, that’s life, musically. Funfunfun.

in January 11th, 2007 @ 15:04on Evenescense(or however you spell that)- I listened to that cd you ranted about, FS… only thing I’ve heard by them. Before your rant I actually thought it was just her as most of the band then random people playing instruments. Not very good, I agree. But I don’t really know that type of music, I have to agree with you that they would do better if they kicked wot’s-her-name of the stage every now and then. I only really slightly liked one song. Forgot which one.
On th other hand, has anyone heard the Blue Man Group cd the COmplex? By the band that plays in those glo-in-the-dark suits in the back. I like it, it’s good(in my opinion).
