    Love you guys!

    What are the general MB feelings about Lady GaGa? i’m curious, she seems to have become a bit of a divisive character among people i know

      Well, some of her songs ( *cough* Bad Romance! *cough* ) are really annoying, but she’s awesomely unique and stuff. Unlike a lot of people ( *cough* Justin Bieber *cough* ).

      Honestly, I’m slightly creeped out by her, but in general I like her much better than most current pop artists. I like that her songs are about other things than love/romance. I don’t really like her music personally, but it’s not so bad compared to a lot of other stuff.

    1) Lady Gaga…..
    she’s strange, but I find myself belting out her songs when I’m bored and have had too much orange juice. :)

    I think I might be getting a new nano! I’m not sure if I’ll love it as much as my ancient one, but it has a spiffy video camera.

    Lady Gaga is… interesting. As these things go, she’s actually not terrible, but she’s very… odd. (Keep in mind that I never listen to pop music.)

    So I just started a jazz combo. Which has sort of been my intention since the start of the year. I play piano decently, and I have a really good drummer and a really good tenor sax and a pretty bad bassist. So now I need to figure out how to teach the bassist what to do without isolating him. And I don’t really know the bassist (although the other guys in the combo do). Ah, the joys of organizing a musical group…

    As for what I’m listening to these days, my various obsessions are definitely having an influence. I’ve listened to plenty of John Barrowman (who has an amazing voice) and the Once More With Feeling soundtrack (which is absolutely hilarious and absolutely brilliant). And some of the Glee soundtrack too, for that matter. And I’m still listening to lots of showtunes.

      i am going to take a jazz bass class next year and actually figure out how to play the damn thing. rock bassists are no help, they’re all “durr scales why would you do those” and i’m all “grr need real music to read i must be classically trained or at least jazzily trained”

      anyway yeah, jazz is awesome :D

        I’ve been doing jazz since 7th grade. And I started taking jazz piano lessons in 8th grade. Jazz is sort of my thing when it comes to music.

        Lol… You don’t necessarily need real music if you understand the theory behind it. But you’d probably want to at least start with real music if you don’t have a good grounding in jazz theory. *is currently learning to do bass lines on the piano so that I can teach my rock bassist*

    The stuff on the radio is SO horrible. For the last year and a half, I have not heard any good songs. Except for Lady Gaga, but she doesn’t count. I mostly listen to a classical station now, and NPR occasionally. But NPR is like, news.

    I’ve been listening to the Beatles lately, as mentioned on the Random Thread.
    ‘Day Tripper’ now.
    Oh wait, that one just faded out… ‘Hey Jude’ now.
    It’s a compilation that my friend made. She’s a serious Beatles fanatic.
    Of the songs on here, I really like ‘I’ll Follow The Sun’ and ‘She Loves You’. And a bunch of others, but those are the new ones.
    Actually, I think I like just about all of them. ‘A Day In the Life’ is sorta… Different, but it’s not bad. ‘I Am the Walrus’ is really different, but again, not really that bad.

    I currently am going through a bit of a phase (made up of many smaller phases) in music appriciation. I find a song that fits my mood/ feeling at the time and listen to it on repeat for up to 2 days, by which time my mood has usually changed, so I select a new song and repeat the cycle. Wait, no. That was me about a month ago, I have become a bit broader in my appriciativeness since then. I had about two weeks where I mostly listened to Ministry of Magic, then these past two weeks I have mostly been listening to electronic (the genre) (which includes Ministry of Magic) because for some reason it is connected to spring in my mind. My favorite band is MoM at the moment, due to their elecronicness (bonus points for being Wrock).

    Coldplay: :grin: I like Viva la Vida, Reign of Love, Strawberry Swing, Rainy Day. Glass of Water, and a few others not so much. I only have about 10 or so.
    Phases of music appreciation: I download a few songs to my iPod, listen to them obsessively, eventually get bored with them and listen to something else obsessively, go back to the first lot of songs, download some new ones, and so on.

    As I live in the Bay Area, I feel myself required to be a devoted fan. Not to mention the fact of their uberawesomeness.
    Also in love with the Ramones. & the Who. & the Clash. A bit weirded out by the fact that Billie Joe Armstrong and Tre Cool’s children are respectively named Joey and Ramona. (This isn’t nearly as stalkerish as you might think-I regularly encounter Joey, and was friends with Ramona in preschool. I love the Bay Area.)

    I’m into songwriting, so I was wondering- does anyone know about this? Is it true? How, exactly, does this work?

    On another topic- I have discovered the music of Taylor Swift. She’s okay, but I’ve heard better. But her song Hey Stephen makes me laugh, so that’s good.

    Right so i found a video of john barrowman singing i know him so well and this has reawakened my love for chess (the musical, not the game). but no longer am i content with listening to the pretty musics! no, i have been obsessively searching for a movie version, and having found none, have resorted to begging someone to make me one via facebook statuses, which, given that i’m not really friends with anyone in a position to do that, isn’t all that helpful. (well, maybe felicia day. but she’s busy being awesome in other ways, and it is extremely doubtful that i would show up on her news feed)

    Right so my ipod was dead and wasn’t letting me take the music off it before i restored it because it was being stupid. so i typed up a list of all the music that was on there, and i was thinking since it’s all nice and typed up i might as well post it here so people can ooh and aah and hopefully start up some kind of more ongoing conversation :D (glee conversation notwithstanding, the thread has been somewhat slow lately)

    so i apologize for how ridiculously super long this is…also there might be repeats with the compilations where i forgot if i had already typed them up? if there’s no album listed it means i had random songs by that artist and wanted moar next time around! so this is stuff i currently don’t have but used to, and will hopefully again soon through some magical combination of my home computers, my friend’s computers, the stack of CDs sitting at home that andy made me like two years ago, the CDs piled in the basement, and downloading. i have also added to my collection a bunch of stuff from julia (who is here sleeping on my floor! :P) and some stuff i downloaded over break (art brut, john barrowman, moxy fruvous)

    although i guess (breaking my own rule here) a lot of the bands i go to see in concert -are- little no-name indie bands. but i like them, they’ve got character.

    live shows and venue size: okay it depends on the kind of concert. I’ve been to the long beach arena twice but the set up was different both times as was my enjoyment. The first time was for a “stand alone” concert of this one japanese rock group lol and they had seats set up not that anyone around me used them (FOURTH ROW TICKETS that i went through so much pain to arrange…sigh)
    the second time was for taste of chaos which was insane :/ i went for three japanese bands that happened to be touring with the show but the crowd was kind of a giant heaving mosh which for me is not fun cause i’m tiny and can’t breathe +__+ also TOC is totally not my kind of music so maybe that was why i didn’t have much fun lol

    other venues i’ve been to have been smaller…house of blues, the wiltern in LA. although the wiltern is actually more of a medium sized place i guess.
    i think sitting at a concert is so weird. i know for more popular groups that’s inevitably what’s going to happen .

    for me though so much of the enjoyment of a concert is the experience of seeing the artist up close, stage presence, jumping around or whatever and singing/cheering…of course it all varies on the type of music then…

    So I would say that I don’t generally like huge arena sized venues and for the most part and prefer smaller places.

    oh jeeez i’m going to two concerts within the next month or so and i am so stoked. it’s been so long since i’ve been to a legitimate concert.

The cool thing about The Sons is that they not all of their songs are in their albums, and they seem to change up their songs every time they play live. The other cool thing about them is that a lot of their songs are in 6/8, which is my favorite time signature. Everything just sounds cooler in 6/8.

          I agree. Less usual time signatures are fun. (Have you heard “Money” by Pink Floyd? It’s in 7/4, I think.)

    Has anyone else heard “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette? It’s pretty funny.

    beedle – a girl in my poetry-type class did her end of the semester research paper on mumford and sons. she showed us one of their videos, though i don’t recall what it was called. there was a lot of stomping at the end…anyway i thought it was really nice!

    dilemma: of Montreal is coming to LA the day after I’m off for summer. I love their music but I’m not sure if I’m ready for the naked debauchery. Hm.

    So nobody has mentioned Beirut yet? Look for the TakeAwayShow video of “Nantes” on youtube.

    I have one Beirut song from the Dark Was The Night compilation (Mimizan)
    I seem to remember Penty liking them but she has dissipated from the internet it seems…

    I watched that though! I think it is excellent to have music in public spaces like that. I was thinking how much i like the take away show thing, because there was a similar video by a japanese artist i like, which i then looked up and it turns out it was done by the same people! HOW FELICITOUS
    if anyone’s interested in that, it’s shugo tokumaru…it’s a really beautiful video
    it looks like there are lots of other artists i like as well :) hooray for andrew bird as always!

    Yeah, the take away shows are a great series, and LaBlogotheque is a nice companion… if you speak French. I like NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts too, even though the feeling inside is so different from the outside.

    Penty hasn’t been seen in the wild since december. :/

    I listen to pop music very little (when my brother or sister force me) and watch pop music videos even less. However, I am impressed with Usher’s force jumping. Although the rest of the video and the song are both, in my view, pretty bad.

    AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I was looking over this thread and the band “Fall Out Boy” was present!!! Multiple times!!! No offense to anyone who listens to them, but… Fall Out Boy? Just out of curiosity, what genre would you label them?

      This sounds harsher than I meant it to. It’s just the only people I know who listen/listened to Fall Out Boy do/did it to seem cool by being edgy or alternative, and FOB is pretty mainstream. I don’t have anything against the band itself, just the way people think of them.

      Fall Out Boy’s one of my favorite bands, and in no way am I ’emo’ or hardcore. In fact I know lots of people who like their music and aren’t posers. We just like their music and can relate to it, plain and simple. I think that just because some of the most hardcore FOB fans could be labeled as posers, doesn’t mean the majority are.

    Honestly, the only pop music I actually like is stuff by Bruno Mars. He’s a good singer (and NOT an autotuner), and he writes pretty good music. I hope he tours in Colorado soon…

    so i’m doing another of my delusions where i think i’m gonna listen to all my music straight through in some kind of order. i’m on day 2 and i’m still doing it, so hey.

    what i’m doing now that i think will be helpful is doing this on my computer and reserving my ipod for whatever-i-want listening. that’s what always messed me up before, because sometimes i’d want to just listen to other music and then i’d forget where i was

    anyway, yeah, this time i’m doing by album title. i’m about halfway through Abbey Road (that’s the beatles, if you’ve been living under a rock). so far i’ve listened through Against Me! demos (which i actually then deleted because i have all those songs somewhere in studio quality), A.M. from Wilco, A2G by Blackalicious, and Abba-Gold by guess who. after this is Absolution by Muse

    also getting quite a bit of knitting done. i’ve been on such a knitting kick. it goes well with this music kick

    I’m really enjoying Cage the Elephant. The censoring, at least in “In One Ear”, is really annoying because, well, there are a lot of curses, and it’s REALLY taking away from the song.
    Ohmygosh, their music is so catchy, though!

    favorite song forever is weird fishes/arpeggi by radiohead
    it fluctuates from moment to moment but i’ve decided to give that as my answer cause it usually ends up being true

    i always want to do more with these threads…i never know what though. it seems like we all have relatively diverse musical tastes so it’s hard to find one thing to talk about.

    for anyone who drives are there particualr songs you like to play while driving? i don’t have an ipod hookup anymore so i made a mix cd and i put songs that i tend to want to sing along with. best sing along song for me is “mistaken for strangers” by the national, which is probably really weird but there you go

    also for anyone who is writing something, do you make playlists that have the feel of what you want to write, and that sort of thing? i’ve been kind of compiling this playlist that has aspects of this idea that has been slowly coming into view in my mind for a while and i find it’s really helpful to get in that mindset or whatever

    if so would anyone like to share said playists :s
