Oooh yay. Much thanks GAPAs. â™ªâ™ªâ™ª

Recently, I’ve been listening to the GazettE ï¼ˆã‚¬ã‚¼ãƒƒãƒˆï¼‰ a lot. I really want to buy NIL . Their videos are amazing, especially Taion.

I’m going to try to get back into playing the piano. D: Self taught though, lessons are not in my future. Ugh.

The most amazing thing is not assigning yourself to one particular genre of music.

4+7- Hey do you guys listen to Peralmen or do you listen to Opera? Either way I love them both especially Mozart’s the Magic Flute. It’s one of my favorite operas!
I also listen to quote on quote normal things such as Peral Jam, and then I listen to TMBG(They Might Be GIants), Red Hot Chile Peppers, I listen to older Country from the 90s, I listen to Alexkid an indie electronica Band, I listen to Musical soundtracks (Wicked, Anything Goes, you get the idea), I listen to Rockappella an old band from when my older brother was young( The did the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego CD), I like alot of stuff from the 80s, like from my brother was little. So that’s a basic overview of music I like.

I’ve been to punk rock lately…for reasons I’m unsure of. My newfound loves are Anti-Flag and NOFX. My brother has been listening to them for a while (though not incessantly), so the CDs were lying around and decided to hear them again.

They Might Be Giants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but I’ve been addicted to them lately. I am currently listening to them. I have almost 75 songs by them on my iPod, and I’m about to get another cd from iTunes. I would hesitate to call them normal, though. They have more titles of songs people remark on than any other band when other people look at my iPod. Most people recognize the titles of Weird Al songs. Tom Lehrer’s probably second-most.
Maybe there should be a poll.

1. What genre of music do you listen to the most?
2. What band(s)/composers do you listen to the most?
3. Do you have an iPod/mp3 player? What kind is it?
4. What is your favorite song?

Answers to poll:

1. Classical.

2. Um… Just any Classical, but I don’t really like Opera that much.

3. No. Nothing. Just a Radio that is about as old as I am.

4. Oh, of Classical, I would say The Four Seasons, but I sometimes listen to what my Mom plays on the car radio (mostly Rock)

I don’t know what to write songs about! My Mom keeps just saying all people ever write about is LOVE, but that just can’t be true. What should I write about? Please answer!!!!!!!!!

What happened? I went into another window and when I came back the page was refreshed. Did my post happen? I wasn’t done with it. Still listening to TMBG- I just downloaded The Spine.

It wasn’t that important. I’ll try to duplicate it.

11- People write songs about lots of other things too. Like presidents, painters, paranoia, hate, death, bodily organs, the sun…

1. What genre of music do you listen to the most?
A lot of different genres. Would eclectic be a good description?
2. What band(s)/composers do you listen to the most?
They Might Be Giants, Weird Al, Tom Lehrer, stuff from musicals
3. Do you have an iPod/mp3 player? What kind is it?
5th generation white video 30G iPod is love.
4. What is your favorite song?
Birdhouse in Your Soul

1. What genre of music do you listen to the most?
Well, probably alternative/rock. However, I do like lmost any kind I hear, and if someone tells me to listen to a song chances are I’ll like it. The exceptions here are rap, and a lot of the more modern pop stuff.

2. What band(s)/composers do you listen to the most?
Well, I’d say Coldplay, Butterfly Boucher, and The Beatles are probably my favorites and i have actual cds by them, but I listen to quite a few songs that are by different artists that I only have one of two songs by. Did that make sense?

3. Do you have an iPod/mp3 player? What kind is it?
Suffle!! w00t! 1 GB. Blue. Purrrrrty… I lost my old shuffle. *snibble*

4. What is your favorite song?
meep! So may to chose from! Hmm… I like “clocks” by coldplay a lot, and “a beautiful book” by butterfly, but it really depends on what mood I’m in (depressed, happy, hyper, ect)

8 – lol, I used to listen to Rockapella.. they’re okay, it’s fairly standard pop though..
I listen to mostly classical these days, some rock/pop/metal/jazz/folk/reggae.. Non-classical-wise, I like TMBG, Kyo (french rock band), Bob Marley, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seegar, the Klezmatics,THE BEATLES, George Harrison (solo stuff), Leadbelly, Louis Armstrong, Melt Banana, My Chemical Romance, and Tom Lehrer. Classical, I like most well-written stuff, except some Baroque/early Classical; some of my favorite composers would probably be SHOSTAKOVICH, Bartok, Bach, Wieniawski (sp), Tchaik, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Schubert, Lalo, Sarasate, Bernstein, etc. Player-wise, favorite violinists would probably include Oistrack (sp), Perlman, Stern, Kyung-Wha Chung, Heifetz, etc. yeah.

TMBG fans: I’ve been wanting to hear what they are for a while, so I just got Dial-A-Song from the library to put on my iPod. What other albums do they have that you would suggest?

Classical people: I really don’t like listening to classical music, but I like playing it on the piano (whoops, I almost typed pianoing instead of playing). I’m really into Chopin now, (Polonaise in G minor woot!) not sure what time period he is… ah, early 1800s. So maybe that’s not technically classical, whatever. It always gets me kind of down when I find out I’ve been working on a song for months and this dude wrote it when he was seven. If you ever need an ego check, go research famous composers lol!

14-Talking Heads! Awesome! Do you read David Byrne’s blog? I didn’t get to see him in Halifax with the Arcade Fire, but I am a HUGE fan.

18-Umm…no.

1. What genre of music do you listen to the most?
I listen to old rock music, techno, and jazz. In that order.

2. What band(s)/composers do you listen to the most?
We-ell…maybe the Fratellis (which is new), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Joe Dassin, aaand…probably Public Image Ltd. or X in fourth place.

3. Do you have an iPod/mp3 player? What kind is it?
I have a *runs to check* Creative Zen Microphoto 8GB. I don’t use it very much, and it’s about 2/3 full.

4. What is your favorite song?
At the moment, you mean? Well, I can listen to the ‘Waiting For Columbus’ version of “Dixie Chicken” or “Spanish Moon” eighteen times in a row, so I guess that would be it.

That was a fun little questionaire.

20- Um… well, actually I only have Dial-A-Song (I assume you mean the compilation called Dial-A-Song: 20 Years of They Might Be Giants, with the ants on the phone cord), No!, and now The Spine, so perhaps I’m not the best person to ask. I don’t think you can go too far wrong, though. But Dial-A-Song has three or four songs from every other album before it. You could try tmbw.net for suggestions. No! is a children’s album, I don’t find that as many of the songs get stuck in my head, but it’s still good. I’m not done listening to The Spine yet.

1. Wow… I listen to just about every thing. I hear some music I like on the radio, I get it on my MP3. My friends give me CD’s, I put them on my MP3. And I have a lot of VERY different friends.

2. Like I asid, I listen to EVERYTHING. Right now I’m kinda hoked on Ozone- That super-wierd techno band from Romania.

3. I have this super-wierd MP3 player by Sony called the bean. I like it better than an ipod caz ipods are blockish and hard to slip into your pocket- The bean is like a lima bean about the size of your hand. It also has a FM radio.

4. right now my favorite song is Oriunde Ai Fi by ozone- although that will probably change in a few hours.

I don’t know… b or c these last few weeks, before that a or less.

2. Do you play an instrument, or write music?

Trombone

3. If you said “yes” to #2, what kind of music?

Jazz band and brass ensemble and band, right now we’re playing The Liberty Bell and Farandole in band, we just finished a jazz band concert and I haven’t gone really recently anyway except when we did a workshop with the 11 and 12th grade Jazz Machine (awesome), and in brass ensemble I was at the science fair so I couldn’t be at the concert today, we played the songs Broadway One-Step and one called Prayer, by one of those famous classical dead guys, Beethoven maybe, or at least I think we did, but I wasn’t there.

4. What is the general subject of the words (if there are any in your type) in the music you listen to/write?

They Might Be Giants (and Weird Al and Tom Lehrer, but not them as much lately) can be depended on to have no general unifying theme. Lately(today, yesterday), I’ve been listening to Experimental Film and other songs on The Spine. Draw from that whatever conclusions you will. I know the ending it’s the part that makes your face implode/ Don’t know what makes your face implode but that’s the way the movie ends That song would have gone on Dial-A-Song if The Spine didn’t come out two years after Dial-A-Song.

Well, I’m not exactly sure. My parents are always playing it in the house, but I don’t really listen to it other than that.

2. Do you play an instrument, or write music?
I play piano, and sing in a choir, but I don’t really write music. Except for Muse Theme Songs, etc. I have a free music-typing program which is a simple version of Finale, called NotePad.

3. If you said “yes” to #2, what kind of music?
Classical, Muse Theme Songs.

4. What is the general subject of the words (if there are any in your type) in the music you listen to/write?

Well, when we’re in the car(a lot, actually) I normally listen to my iPod, then also in study hall on mondays tuesdays and 4min of thursday(block SH, 90 min). The other days I give it to my friend becasue I have band lessons, so probably d.

2. Do you play an instrument, or write music?
Flute (w00t! go flutes!), and occasionally, on FinaleNotePad. I guess a lot of the poems I right could be songs, or so people tell me.

3. If you said “yes” to #2, what kind of music?
Rock-ish or alternitive, I suppose, but it’s not really clasifiable as I just make it up as go. No words, either, when I’m doing it on Finale.

4. What is the general subject of the words (if there are any in your type) in the music you listen to/write?
Well, love is the most prevailent themes in most all songs, so I do have some of that, but also random stuff and the world. See poems&songs thread if you’re really that interested.

43- I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour.
I am now awake enough to answer a poll.

1. What genre of music do you listen to the most?
Classical.

2. What band(s)/composers do you listen to the most?
I’m typing in my composers with the highest track count from Windows Media Player. Most of my CDs aren’t on my computer yet though.

-Beethoven
-Mozart
-Chopin
-Haydn
-Corelli
-Kreisler
-Rachmaninov
-Paganini
-Brahms
-Kuhlau
-Sarasate

3. Do you have an iPod/mp3 player? What kind is it?
30 GB iPod video.

4. What is your favorite song?
I can’t decide. Right now I’m listening to Beethoven’s violin sonata no. 4 in A minor, first movement.

Answers to ~~Red-tailed HAWK the swift~~’s poll:
(The poll I responded to in my previous post was Dodecahedron (c+q)’s poll)

1. How much time do you spend a week listening to music: a about an hour; b one to four hours; c four to six hours; d over six hours (I don’t have a clue what’s normal, so if some of the time ranges are to long, that’s why.)
Most likely b or c. I often listen to music in the background while doing homework, but sometimes I just listen to music without my attention on anything else.

2. Do you play an instrument, or write music?
I play violin. I also play percussion, but not nearly as seriously. Yes, I compose music. I’m seriously considering that as a career option.

3. If you said “yes” to #2, what kind of music?
Classical.

4. What is the general subject of the words (if there are any in your type) in the music you listen to/write?
n/a.

Sorry for the triple post.
53- I wrote a string quartet too! It was in E minor. I’m currently writing a piece for solo violin, which might turn into a serious of pieces. Basically it’s a one page theme and then one big variation on it. I get annoyed when I start something that then goes nowhere.

D. Definitely D.

2. Do you play an instrument, or write music?
Yes; I play piano.

3. If you said “yes” to #2, what kind of music?
I am forced to play classical: for example, this week is Bach Week and next is Rachmaninoff and the week before last was (I think) Schumann Days. I like jazz better, though. Especially twenties jazz. Not that I have the finger separation for it.

4. What is the general subject of the words (if there are any in your type) in the music you listen to/write?
I don’t write music, but the lyrics in most of my songs are either nonsense, relationships, or nuclear holocaust/current events.

The next concert we have is smack dab in the middle of prank week. The LingLing Brothers (these 3 silent, stony Chinese triplets who all have ‘Ling’ in their names, who never talk to us or make mistakes) won’t do anything, but I have plans to get up there with my Shostakovich and start playing William Gillock’s jazz style (which sounds BEAUTIFUL).

63- The first mildly popular thing that I recognized! I feel so special. This is regarding-“reliant k(although they are kinda wierd)”. They’re actually fairly normal for my iPod. The only CD(well, album, really, a set of downloaded(legally) tracks released at the same time) I have is Mmhmm. I don’t like all the songs, but High of 75 has made my top 25 most played. What are your feelings on the band (and that song) in general? Could you suggest something else like that to me?

Haha, waaay over six hrs! I listen to the Zone in the morning, while I’m freshening up and whatnot, I listen to my iPod on the way to + from skool, I listen to it while I’m using the comp…sometimes before bed, as well…Oh, and then I spend an hour in choir every day, if that counts!

2. Do you play an instrument, or write music?
I try to write songs, sometimes…they usually don’t turn out so great…hehe.

3. If you said “yes” to #2, what kind of music?
Rock?

4. What is the general subject of the words (if there are any in your type) in the music you listen to/write?
Either love, longing…or something completely random!

46: I just got Paramore’s newer album the other day. I really like Emergency.

49: …Heeeeeeeeyyy now…Nah, I guess I can see why some people don’t like them.

67: Yay, Flogging Molly…Last time I listened to them, my friend and I were driving through town, blasting it out of her stereo.

My BF lent me the soundtrack to The Nightmare Before Christmas. It came w/ a bonus CD, which has some covers on it – There’s a version of This Is Halloween by Marilyn Manson, another version by Panic! at the Disco (my fav), a version of What’s This? by FOB…+ something by She Wants Revenge. It’s awesome.

And what do I keep saying??? Metal (true metal that is, not this core crap) is among the most complex and interesting styles of music, drawing influence from old european music- classical and folk. So it’s obvious that I should be able to appreciate the stuff. I listen to Eluveitie, Chieftains and Wagner.

I also enjoy ripping CDs onto my computer… especially library CDs… but then I make a typo and I’m not sure whether it’s a typo and I get annoyed because then I have to go find the CD. Also the WMP database is totally inaccurate. It messed up all four of my Well-Tempered Clavier discs, and a Haydn CD, and lots more stuff, but especially the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Haydn CDs. Well-Tempered Clavier it put all the wrong keys, and Haydn it tried to put it in some other language. It showed up as little boxes on my computer, and I didn’t realize it was another language until the weird font showed up on my iPod.

If you listen to Therion, the vocals and orchestras are operatic and classical, and if you listen to Eluveitie the instruments are medieval ones.

98 – PEDANT ALERT – I assume you’re usng the modern vague and sloppy definition of “medieval”?

The printing presses hadn’t got going by 1485, so only one or two medieval ballads have survived. Monks weren’t inclined to preserve pop tunes. The only slightly morbid medieval song I can think of is

Miri it is while sumer ilast, with fuweles song
Oc, nu neheth windes blast and weder strong
Ei, ei! what this night is long,
And ich, with wel michel wrong,
Sorew and murn and fast.

(sorry for the modernised spelling – I don’t know how to do thorn and yogh on Museblog).

There are lots of Tudor and Stuart ballads, but they’re mostly about sex, violence, religion, crime and freak events. Much like the modern press, actually. There’s the Death of Essex, of course, and Three ravens – that’s pretty miserable. We could have a thread to discuss those, but everyone would get depressed.

99- Three Ravens is the same as Twa Corbies, right? Yeah, that’s depressing.
100- Basically, two (or three) Ravens, (or corbies, same diff) are talking about where they are going to eat. And one says it knows where there’s “a new-slain knight”, and how the only people who know about it is his hawk and his hound and his lady fair- and they don’t care.

I changed my mind. The one I really like a) probably isn’t medeival, and b) isn’t really morbid. Except I noticed the other day when I was listening to it that somebody burns. But basically it’s a fairy tale in verse, so the evil stepmother’s gotta die. The ballad I’m talking about is The Lailly Worm and the Mackerel of the Sea.

My English teacher has a poster of Bob Dylan on his wall. And the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. One of the Rolling Stones members has a brown cut-out mustache on him now.

Actually, I’m probably the only person in there who knows that the guy on the poster is Bob Dylan.

And I only know that because m parents went to a Bob Dylan concert instead of parent-teacher conferences. They didn’t have to go, though, so t was okay.

So i’m officially in love with pandora…i’d heard of it, but i didn’t actually use it until a few days ago…actually it’s probably been about a week or so. but yeah. it’s pretty sweet.

k, fun polling stuff

1. What genre of music do you listen to the most?
classic rock

2. What band(s)/composers do you listen to the most?
Dire Straits, The Who, The Beatles, The Doors, The Police, Billy Joel, Styx, most recently Phish

3. Do you have an iPod/mp3 player? What kind is it?
shuffle. looking into getting something else cheap and refurbished with more space (preferably a mini), if i make enough money this summer

4. What is your favorite song?
Yeah right. Like i can pick one of those. Um…the one i have stuck in my head right now is something from Titanic (the musical, not the movie). i don’t remember which song it is. Being in pit is really annoying because you don’t know the words to anything.

1. How much time do you spend a week listening to music
d, over six hours. most weeks anyway

2. Do you play an instrument, or write music?
I play trumpet, used to play violin and piano, want to play bass guitar, but that requires a bass guitar, which i don’t exactly have. i should probably get one…

3. If you said “yes” to #2, what kind of music?
Band music (marching band stuff like sloopy, tear it up, the hey song, chameleon, sir duke, etc and boring concert stuff like miss liberty and whatever else we’re playing now (i don’t remember the names)), full orchestra music (carmina burana), pit music (titanic)

4. What is the general subject of the words (if there are any in your type) in the music you listen to/write?
Usually vaguely depressing ones. But meaningful, or at least with some appearance of meaning. At least something that will easily succumb to my overanalyzation skillz. I especially like songs that tell a story of some kind, even if it’s not a story that makes much sense.

I’m actually doing that too. In case you haven’t seen any of my addiction-fueled posts on this or previous Music threads, it’s the They Might Be Giants Podcast. It hasn’t been updated since February even though it’s monthly and I love Them. I haven’t _listened_ to it or anything yet, though. I have to go download it as a song from Their website first and get lyrics and times for the songs starting.
I really hope they aren’t too strict about age limits and IDs at the concerts.

I’m going to keep posting stuff about TMBG.
From Their myspace:
They Might Be Giants new album The Else
Idlewild CD in stores July 10, iTunes exclusive download arrives May 15
13 new songs produced by the Dust Brothers, Pat Dillett and They Might Be Giants!
Deluxe package includes original photographs by Marcel Dzama!
First run of CDs includes a full length bonus disc!

How am I supposed to decide between getting TMBG music in three weeks and getting it in two and a half months with bonus content? *~~head explodes~~ face implodes due to dilemna* It’s essentially the same CD, though, so I don’t know if I can self-justify getting both, especially because I’m running out of money on iTunes. But I can’t wait for it. But I’ll hate myself if I miss the bonus stuff. But I’ll hate myself on the two multi-hour plane trips I’m taking for vacation if I don’t have it but could have, and of course we return a few days before July 10. I don’t know what to do!

136: Careful. Especially with Nile. The genre definition is “extreme death metal”. They play fast, intense, technical death metal with egyptian themed lyrics and the occasional oriental instrument. Karl Sanders plays a lot of egyptian scales and is extremely talented, and George Kollias is one of the best drummers out there. But you might be scared. Be careful.
Otherwise, definitely go with Korpiklaani, Battlelore and Kamelot. Korpiklaani are finnish folk metal, great for drinking (the first track on Tales Along This Road is called Happy Little Boozer- subtle, eh?). Battlelore are Tolkien-inspired epic metal, could be used for LOTR soundtracks. Kamelot are melodic good power metal.

Hmm, I’ll talk to my friend before though, she listens to my ipod a lot as her parents won’t even let her have a portable cd player or even headphones. Ahhg.

145: People can like whatever they like. They shouldn’t be ashamed because they like music that they or other people consider of poor quality. Naturally, there’s nothing wrong with believing that some music is terrible, but that doesn’t mean the person who enjoys the music has horrific taste. I’ve had a lot of people roll eyes when I tell them my favorite artist is Kelly Clarkson (my dad is probably still mourning that I am not big on classical music. It’s good, but it’s not for me). Maybe I have bad taste. It doesn’t really matter as long as I enjoy listening to her.

Okay, my rant is over. Anyways, I spend a lot of my time trying to record songs on the radio on a terrible tape recorder. My boombox used to have a tape recorder built in, but my two-year-old sister got into it and broke it. If you put a tape in it now it breaks it.

has anyone heard of the Fabulous Thunderbirds? i heard a few of their songs and they were okay. anyone like them?

taste is relative…but then again so is criticism. if you can state your tastes them fridgey can state his opinions of your tastes. even if you don’t like it. if you put out information about yourself it is better to be prepared to be criticised. its part of life. if you don’t like criticism….don’t talk about yourself…..or lie. i really wouldn’t advise the latter.

blues and jazz and anyting thats like that is good. i like it. but i could definitely not stand listening to it all day long. Rush on the other hand…..

153-never heard of millions of bugs..but i didn’t take your bet so i don’t owe you ten pieces of chocolate. its really not smart to make a bet and in the same sentence tell the object. people will know if they do or not know of your band and accept your be accordingly.

154: soloing is easy, man. As long as your not going for the ultra-virtuosic stuff, like I do, then all you need to do is learn a few scales to play over the chord progression. For example, if it’s a I-IV-V progression (the simplest in rock), and the root note (I) is E, then play a few notes in the scale of Em. Or Emaj. Or G, as it’s the same scale.

At least S and J (1st and 2nd chair) didn’t come to our lesson this time, they’re better than me. Also older, but it still makes me sad, because S is amaizing at flute, she can sight-read our band music and pretty much get it perfect. Meh.

Hey people, question! (Mostly fridgey :D) I’ve been starting up a new pandora radio station for “Staying Awake” music. it’s mostly hard/vaguely punk rock, and it’s basically LOUD and mildly obnoxious but good at the same time (When i started, i thought “oh well if i’m half-asleep i won’t care if it’s decent music…oh man was i wrong… ). So. Oh, and guitar solos are a plus. Nothing jerks you awake like a sudden, screaming guitar solo (By screaming i mean metaphorically, the guitar is screaming. Not actual people screaming. i despise that. Usually. Sometimes if it’s a good song i’ll ignore a bit of screaming.)

Anyway. What would you people suggest?

Screaming guitar solos… Hmm. So no prog, as the solos are technically too complicated to scream, and too fast to be heard by human ears… GnR don’t really have ‘screaming’ solos… How about Ozzy Osbourne or Black Label Society? Both Randy and Zakk have amazing chops, and really abuse the guitar (this is something positive). Otherwise, Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom, or thrash bands like Annihilator and Destruction, or just good old heavy metal with Iron Maiden, Saxon, MotÃ¶rhead, etc.

(177, 178) Brings back memories of our graduation. Endless, mind-numbing renditions of P&C. There are only so many variations a band can squeeze out of it. After a while the students started taking turns conducting. I felt pity for my friends in the band and was never so happy to be in chorus. We sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone” — once — and were done with it.

The Else came out today on iTunes! I of course downloaded it and am editing song themes on the wiki.
My reactions: Overall, not very TMBG-like. Some songs more so than others. I’m Impressed, Take Out The Trash, and Feign Amnesia almost sound like normal rock. I’ve been comparing them to Relient K without the religion. But I like them anyway. I can’t choose favorites. Of course it’s worth it, any TMBG is worth it.
I’ll post a song-by-song overview in a little while.

Grrr.

Otherwise, I bought another Elvenking cd (Wyrd) off of tunes. I ony have 13 dollars left there now, but my parents owe me 20 on the itunes store so maybe I’ll make them pay me. It’s all gift card money anyway. I havn’t really listened to it a lot yet because I didn’t have study hall today, but I have a 90 min SH tomarrow so I should get through it a few times. Anyway. Off to fiddle more with playlist. Meh.

185- I’m getting the regular CD in addition to the iTunes one. It’s supposed to have a second disc with more stuff. And it’s supposed to have pictures. I’m hoping for a big one I can put on my wall. Ideally, I’d want one like those boy bands used to do with pictures of the faces and signatures. I know that’s hopeless because only the boy bands with adoring fans ever do that, but my relationship to TMBG is equivalent to one of the adoring fangirls.

I will now post my overview of The Else:

Track 1: I’m Impressed
Not a bad song, just not identifiably(sp?) TMBG. At first I hated it for not sounding like Them. Now I’ve become used to it and it’s acceptable. I’m even starting to like it as one of Their songs.

Track 2: Take Out The Trash
A normal song that only is special at all because They did it. Not bad, just not TMBG.

Track 3: Upside Down Frown
It sounds like Them. The clever title and ideas expressed. Not the best song on the album. Not bad, though. Just an average song.

Track 4: Climbing The Walls
It gets stuck in my head sometimes, which is a good indicator. It sounds kind of normal rock-ish at first listen, but the lyrics had some thought put into them and on a second or third listen you notice the subtle harmony.

Track 5: Careful What You Pack
Average. Originally supposed to be in the background of a movie, which explains the beginning. It was rejected, though, from the movie. It has my favorite line ever. “She thinks she’s smart, she’s just curious”. Otherwise the lyrics aren’t exceptionally good. It can get stuck in my head, though.

Track 6: The Cap’m
A fairly standard TMBG theme- the person who thinks they’re the center of the world. Better tham some of the others with this theme, though. Best tune of them, the lyrics are not as good as Only Think Of Me (that’s on youtube)(Your apparent nonchalance belies the fact that you can only think of me!) but they’re not bad just because they’re not the best, and the tune makes up for it. Average for Them.

Track 7: With The Dark
Three very different parts. Not my favorite. There are some songs I just don’t like as much as others. It’s not bad because of it. And it’s better than tolerable. The lyrics aren’t bad, I guess.

Track 8: The Shadow Government
I didn’t really like this one at the concert. Another one that grows on you. See I’m Impressed.

Track 9: Bee Of The Bird Of The Moth
Finally another TMBG song! Almost reminds me of Birdhouse. Not as good as Birdhouse, but nothing is. Gets stuck in my head. I like starting with it when I’m listening in the bus in the morning. The beginning of a stretch of good songs. The end is joy, both voices out of sync with each other.

Track 10: Withered Hope
One of my favorites. I want to call it my favorite on the album, but I can’t quite justify it when I hear some of the other songs. Frequently stuck in my head. As nonsensical as any good song. Love the harmony. It wasn’t understandable at the concert, which really disappoints me, because now that I can hear the words it’s great.

Track 11: Contrecoup
Words I’d never know otherwise. The bridge, which wasn’t in the demo version from Clock Radio/the podcast, is a good addition. Another of the better songs.

Track 12: Feign Amnesia
Bonus points for a clever title. A little better then I’m Impressed, but I’d give it the same rating because the normal tune makes up for the slightly better lyrics.

Track 13: The Mesopotamians
Another song which is love. Immediately recognizable. The reason I can’t say Withered Hope is my favorite song without guilt. The harmony in the chorus is enough to make me forgive them for all the imperfect songs on the album.

Overall album thoughts
Not as many songs as a lot of the other albums. The beginning doesn’t make me like it, but the end is enough to justify the album. I’d say, out of five, rating it against the TMBG I’ve heard it gets a 3, rating it compared to everything in my iTunes library, a 4.25, and any TMBG is a 4.95 at least comparing it to every song I’ve ever heard (the bus plays the worst radio stations. I dislike the current popular music.)
I don’t rate anything in iTunes, though, because they don’t offer decimals.

208- Well, you can’t exactly categorize TMBG. Apparently, they’re rock or alternative rock,but I wouldn’t believe iTunes. I also wouldn’t believe the evil TMBG-haters at my school (they exist just to provoke me into violence, I swear) who, without hearing a full song, claim that it’s country. I would suggest listening to a song to determine what they’re like. There are videos on YouTube for a lot of their songs. Completely ignore the videos, though, and just listen to the song. The videos are weird and have absolutely nothing to do with the song. My favorite song is Birdhouse In Your Soul, a search should be able to find it fairly quickly. Or you could try Ana Ng, or Experimental Film, or lots of other songs that I can’t think of right now. This Might Be a Wiki is useful.

Okay, story time.

My aunt and I were having a conversation about guiltly pleasures and we both LURVIE listning to absolutly disgusting music.

Me: London Bridge by Fergie and My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas!!
Her: Hot Pants by James Brown and (insert long list here)!!!

Obviously, we have our differences. But anyway, she was talking about her trip to Paris, and how she went to a welcome party. She quickly found that the French do NOT know how to partay. So someone put on James Brown’s “Hot Pants” and all the French aristocrats got up and started dancing, although they had no idea what HOT PANTS meant, they started screaming it anyway.

Her: do you know what hot pants is?
Them: no
Her: it’s like… warm trousers.
Them: NO!! Really! Oh la la! HOT PANTS HOT PANTS!!! (insert five hundred repititions of HOT PANTS here)

Moral of the story: Well, figure it out for yourself. No, it’s not “Why we love France but hate the French”. That’s a book, my friends.

Not music specifically, but kind of…
What do you use to get scratches off your iPod? I just got a new battery addition thing and case, and when I took it out of the old case, it was disgusting. The case really hurt it. It took a while to get the thin bits of melted plastic off with a lint-free cloth, and there are some spots where stuff inside the case created these little circles of matte and abrasion, especially on the front, that make it look bad. Around the sides of the screen especially, which is a problem. And there’s a big circle on the back where the clip attached to the case. And the bottom I don’t want to think about.

Latest CD downloaded: Flood

239- I was probably exaggerating a little. The new case is small enough that the battery clips on over it. It’s rubber-plastic-like and it shouldn’t do anything to it except maybe protect it from such abuse in the future. There’s no screen protector, though. The old one almost fits under the edges right. I need a solution for that eventually. The old case was supposed to protect it against drops, and it’s the same rubber-plastic kind of thing, only a lot thicker, and it was too big for my iPod and let lots of paper dust (these fibers, almost) in, which scratches it. And I left it in the sun once or twice with the case on. But now I’ll find a way to fix it and all will be well.

FS-you’re in europe, you’ve heard of basshunter? he is now my hero. seriously. basically because i’m addicted to dotA. you know what i’m talking about? well, anyhoo, anyone who makes a song about an IRC bot and makes it to the top of the charts is my hero. especially if they make a song about dotA(which is a custom mod in warcraft 3, one of the most obscure thing s ever. it did get recognized for a bunch or tournaments though.)

248- Lavender? *eyes grow wide* Lavender and diamonds?

Actually I don’t care about diamonds, but . . . lavender?

It is my favorite plant/smell/headache remedy/lots of other things.

Well, since I’m on the music thread, I might as well say that the other day I downloaded Csokolom (hungarian gypsy music), Hazel Eyes, by Josephine Foster (labeled rock by iTunes, but not really), and the Bridies (Folk/world) into my computer, and then later The Milk-Eyed Mender by Joanna somethng-or-other, which is nice but I’m still deciding if I want in my computer.
Has anyone here listened to Nomos?

Ugh. iTunes really needs to pick interesting songs to put up for free. And they need people who can tell a genre from a hole in a wall. And they need people who really know what’s ‘Just For You’. And speaking of iTunes, I can’t get MuseCasts from iTunes. Is it erased or something?

Genres are completely arbitrary, in my opinion. I’ve gotten stuff labeled in all kinds of senseless ways. Weird Al is Books/Spoken? I don’t think so.

Alternative, that’s alternative rock, I think. Whatever it is, I have a lot of it, it’s the label most They Might Be Giants stuff is given, and I therefore like it.

Ok, so today we went to the musical Tomfoolery, which is a whole bunch of Tom Lehrer songs that doesn’t have a plot. But that’s OK. It was cool. Weird hearing other people sing the songs, but cool nonetheless. In these last five weeks I’ve been to live performances of my top three favorite music artists. I’m the luckiest person on Earth. (someone has to be) It almost makes me think the penguins are listening.

230- I have a few friends who totally love them, but I haven’t listened to them…

237- That’s the good stuff. Heh, I DL-ed a bunch last summer/endofschoolyear. Fun stuff, really. Dark Tranquility, mmmm.

238- I don’t? Mine’s horribly abused. But that’s how I show my immense love for my preciousssssss.

246- I haven’t heard of the vast majority of the artists, and have never heard those songs, sorry.

248- No, but I will Google them when I get home…

254- Rythym [I cannot spell that without spellchecker, sorry] and Blues. But the CDs often lie about that stuff. Look for Jazz Age goodness, or old time blues. Not new garbage like Usher. Can you believe that was filed under R&B?! Gah. The only newer artist I can recommend in that genre would be Alicia Keys.

So, anyone else know of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists? A friend made me aware of them and I enjoy them greatly. And there’s Jefferson Airplane, my running addiction.

I also desperately want sheet music for The Dresden Dolls. It’s really simple, yet sounds really cool. Anyone listen to them? They’re punk cabaret ^_^

Also, for the Trekkies out there: search YouTube for “The Picard Song.” It’s amazingly amazing. And there’s another video of Picard singing this amazing song with the alphabet. It’s pure joy.

240-does learning about them neccesarilly (spelling?) mean listening to it? if so, forget about it. i have to admit, that since i made that comment, one of my friends put on a metal song. i was shocked at being able to whistle the melody, so i might just recant. my brother likes matallica and stuff. wierdo. of course, thats just pointless opinion….as is all our tastes in music, religion, art etc…wateva.
found a new rush cd. burned it and now have to listen to it. called counterparts or something. hope its good.
got this cd of the band Matisyahu. gosh its awesome. like jewish regge or something. me loves it. also got Under the Joshua Tree. and Hopes and Fears. U2 and Keane respectively. they rock.
does anyone here do piano? if so, how long? what level is you in? i do and have for 2 years, but i really don’t know whats normal level. my teachers kinda….flighty. dosen’t stick to one curriculum. it gets confusing. so tell me what level you play, like what hardship are your songs?

266: Nickelback- and the entire pop punk genre- rely on simple melodies, musically uninteresting choruses and young boy vocals to sell records that appeal to the musically unsophisticated masses. They can hardly play more than a few chords, and couldn’t improvise to save their life. Yet they sell. They make money, while people who study composition and music history and dedicate their lives to music that they love barely get by.

pop punk is watered down, ear pleasing ‘punk’ music, like Green Day and such. All simple power chords, whiny vocals and lots of money in the record company.

Btw, one of the worst bands ever is… Tokio Hotel. I mean, they’re, really, really, bad.

266- Because they’re annoying. Have you ever listened to their lyrics?

And I’d have to agree with FS about the power chords and such. Whenever I’m subjected to non-internet radio, I end up pointing out chord patterns. There’s too much Em, C, G, B, Em, C, G, B, and occasionally Em, C, G, D. Of course I annoy people by muttering the names of the chords… but it’s mostly because I like to do so.

I once managed to walk my dad through the chords for a TSO song after going to one of their concerts. [He plays guitar; I was listing the names of the chords at him ^_^]

The Ark is banned from playing in the USA. That’s so depressing.

The third movement of Moonlight is absolutely killing me. I still can’t play it properly. Or, at least, the way I’d like to play it, because I’d rather play songs the way I think they sound best, not according to the written dynamics… So then I just make stuff up when I get annoyed with it, which is all the time. I CAN’T DO AN OCTAVE WITH MY FIRST TWO FINGERS, O EDITORS OF MUSIC!

I’ll stop my pointless rambling now. â™ªâ™«

273: Not to say that more sophisticate metal bands don’t use power chords; they do, but they make something more interesting out of it. You construct a good riff out of scales, arpeggios, power chords, barre chords and harmonics.

punk annoys me for some reason though. Just the singing style. it bugs me. it always sounds so fake, like some nice rich kid trying to be angry because he thinks it’s cool. Or maybe i’m being overly stereotypical? probably. but i haven’t listened to much.

274- Naturally. It’s the variation that makes it. Because you really can’t do much with the main chords… Shredding and distorting usually make songs magical. It’s like, you could play a [piano] song in blocked chords, and it sounds like an equally dull version of something you did to learn the chords, but when you play the notes in the proper sequence, it sounds a whole lot better. Sorry, I should be more clear. Sigh.

282- Is Modest Mouse good? I hear a lot about them from a friend, but I’ve never actually listened to them…

284- It blew?!?!?

THE LOCAL FYE STORE HAD NO ADAM ANT! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FUEL MY NEWFOUND [as in a week or two or so ago] ADDICTION? I’ll have to check Gallery of Sound… And then B&N if I’m desperate. Maybe even one of the electronics stores o_O

291- Hahaha welcome to the club. XD
294- Don’t take that sort of thing too seriously, if people want to hate, they can hate. As long as you like what you like, it’s all cool.

A word of wisdom from the expert on not-caring.

Know what’s really cool that i haven’t heard in a while but have just been listening too? Phantom of the Opera. Especially the one called Phantom of the Opera, that’s a great song. (and yes, i’m talking about the musical-ish opera or the opera-ish musical or whatever you want to call it, not a band called phantom of the opera)

Okay, from what I gather, no one shares my tastes either. Mostly MBers like J-Rock and Jazz and Classical and Country.

288- Some Lennon, but not as much. Most of Paul’s was from a mix my friend burned me.

287- They’re pretty good. There’s a few songs of thir’s I like a lot and some not so much.

299- Haha, watched that movie last night/this morning (x.x) in B’s room with J and L at camp. Before the laptop died a tragic death on us and we had to sleep, that is. Very good music. Andrew Lloyd Weber was a fricken genius.

299-POTO! yay! ALW is indeed a friking genius. i love that movie and burned myself the soundtrack.
fridgey-i went to wikipedia and read their article on Rush and yes, they are indeed classified as rock/metal. in that case, i love metal. but they are not as hardcore as like metallica.incidentally Rush greatly influence bands such as metallica, dreamtheatre and more. fun. do you know any other bands similar to Rush regardless of genre?

this thread is dead. lets get a new one. GAPA’s, i humbly request a new music thread. please. how will we expand our mental horizons w/o input from other people our age? we desperately need to begin a new journey into the art and tastes that we all share-music. dramatic enough for you?
