Anyone else here buy CDs purely because of the artwork on their cases? I do that all too often.

Also, is Billie Holiday good? I like Strange Fruit but I don’t really know much more of her music…

And is Madina Lake emo?

2. Yep. About Billie Holliday.

Has anyone heard of the puppini sisters? I’ve only heard one of their songs on Tv, but they seemed pretty cool.
I also like Corinne bailey rae, and love the beatles.

I guess composers got picked. TMBG (They Might Be Giants) is a good alternitive group to listen to for fun because of the crazy lyrics. Here is an example from a part of a song on their latest album, “The Else,” titled “With the Dark.”

I’m gettin’ tired of all my nautical dreams
I’m gettin’ tired of all my nautical dreams
Rockin’ my pirate home,
Rockin’ my peg leg stone,
My mind naturally turns
To taxodermy
To taxodermy

Btw if you didn’t know, taxodermy is the science of stuffing dead animals. I know, gross. Another good group is MMW (Medeski, Martin, and Wood.) They are an instrumental jazz trio and have some really complicated music. They are very talented.

I play the flute. I recently got a pottery flute thing from china, whcih is shapped sort of like a sphere, except it’s flattened on the bottom and goes sort of oblong at the top. There’s 6 holes on the front and two in the back that you cover with your fingers, and another hole at the top you blow across, sort of like you do to a bottle to make a noise. Sort of sounds like that too.

Looking it up, I think it’s called a Xun. That sherch’ll get you a picture, anyway. Mines smooth an black, and has a dragon on it.

I am disturbed that here in denmark, people listen to really bad american hip-hop. Most of them have no idea what the song is about. I was filming a pigeon on my cousins cell when I looked at her music files, and saw that the one that she had put as her favorite had a very inapropriate title to a song for a ten year old. She apperently had no idea what it was about.
2- Billie Holiday is very good.

I have to say, I have a love hate relationship with music. My mother is talented music player, I’m named after a famous person who plays a recorder (a recorderer?), my five year old brother was able to, at the age of two, play a beat on the coffee table (the one in that song where they keep singing “we will rock you”) my step-father has been in a band, plays music all the time (literally) and plays a guitar whenever he thinks that it’s getting too quiet. I have recieved drums, recorders, flutes, guitars, and lap harps for easter, my birthdays, and christmas, i have to concentrate while keeping a steady simple beat, i never play music, i can’t sing, and the instruments that were given to me have all been given to my brother, who uses them to my despair. i like a couple of bands, but only to the point where I like a few songs and wouldn’t really care if the singer died or the band broke up. maybe it has to do with that I have a constant ringing and throbbing in my ears or that I’ve simply been overexposed to it. Or maybe it has somethings to do with that whenever my half brother is exclamed over his musical genius, my step father always exclaims “It’s all in the blood!” and then looks at me meaningfully.
I love visual stuff. Painting and drawing has all come naturally to me. I can tell if two colors go or do not go together in less than two seconds. I’ve one prises in national competitions for paintings, but my parents fail to mention ths when they give thhe grandparents the monthly update. And when the teacher at the local skating rink called my mom to tell her that she thought that I had an uncanny talent for being able to do figure skating stuff without ever having taken lessons, my mom simply told her that I was going to be a brilliant scientist or a harpist.

*family matters!*

I play the recorder. Professionally. Not up to the standard of the person I suspect Vixen is named after, but people clap, so I must be getting some of the notes right. And I play bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, shawms, curtal, and a few other exotics.

I was going to say that it’s a shame the recorder is often not taken seriously nowadays. It’s a nice little instrument, and it was all the rage in the 18th century. I remember it well.

17) Now that is an unsavory situation…First, I think that everyone can find joy in music and you are most likely driven away from recreational listening because of how things are being forced on you…perhaps with time you’ll find things you like. But, more importantly, the stuff with your family, that’s crazy. I can understand them wanting you to be interested in music, but to go so far as to tell someone what you’re going to be is…outrageous. Just keep doing what you love no matter what. And maybe you could even show your grandparents your stuff yourself? Unless they live far away..but then, you could always mail them some of your stuff, I bet they’d love that!

I have a violin in my room but I do not take lessons. I occasionally pick it up and either play songs from the Suzuki level 1 book I also have or just fiddle around and play little tunes from music I like by ear. Usually not very well. (Mind you I have taken lessons before, I just don’t now. I took them from kindergarten through fourth grade so I know how to hold and play the violin. I’ve also taken a bit of piano and some flute.)

17- Stick with art! Good luck with your parents insistance though, that really sucks. But definately go for what you enjoy. Not everyone has to enjoy music, you have great strengths in other areas. I hope your parents realize that. Like Axa said, maybe try to show your grandparents your art?

35: Playing the violin is harder for some people than for others. I don’t know why, only that there are a million and one things to remember. ex. how hard to press the bow to the strings, where to put the bow, is there enough rosin, is your hand in the right place, ect. Actually, there are many, many more things. I don’t think it’s that hard, but I play second violin in the orchestra, so the music’s a little easier. Unless you ask the first violins, who swear they’ve got the easier part. For me though, the violin is the only instrument that I can get a sound out of.

Yes, drum rolls take some practice. I can’t even belive it is all that impresses nonmusical people when i play complicated music on my drums. 28- Awesome! You sound like me! Last year in 5th grade (I’m now going into 7th) I played a short song on my sopranino recorder with some really fast trills and mordants as a demonstration for the music concert. My old music teacher says her students still bring up the topic in class. My mother’s brother’s wife’s brother is really good at recorder too. He gave us a cd he made with his software music- mixing program of him playing his recorders. It’s really good.

I am holding to my opinion that stringed instruments are the hardest, especially cello and violin (maybe base, I don’t have much experience with them). I play cello, and it is HARD. There are eight bajillion things to remember, and you have to keep your fingers rounded while playing really fast, and do two hands at once, AND do vibrato!

I play violin, or fiddle- if you prefer. I have never found the actual playing of it very hard, but that might just be me. I love to play Celtic fiddle, and I do it whenever I can.
Asfar as my faveourite bands, I realy can’t say. In my iTunes, I have 1072 songs, 66 albums, 9 genres, and, 163 artists.
I listen to a lot of crazy stuff. From Gaelic Storm’s Celtic rock/pub songs to Paul Hillier and the Theatre of Voices, beautiful choral music. Hesperus, [early music] to a CD my friend just gave me of Bright Eyes….
I mostly prefer the Celtic or early music, but I’ve been discovering more modern music n the past half a year or so.
I’ve grown up with my Mom listening to Classical/orchestral
or world music, and my Dad listening to Beck, Lyle Loveit, Muddy Waters, Glenn Miller and organ music cranked to he max in the barn. So now I’m defining “my” music, and I’m aways stealing my Mom’s CDs.
I also like to sing. But I never do in public, unless I’m realy comfortable with who I’m with.
I’ve always been shy, so playing in public used to be really hard for me, but I’m mostly getting over that. I just had a recital today, and I was doing fine, but then I messed up becauseI got nervous. Ah well…..

I’m getting a proper piano! I’ve been playing on a *runs to count* 38 key yamaha keyboard. Lovely thing, but I must move on. Twas beautiful for my one fingered picking outs, but now that I’m playing pieces like Ronda al Turca, by mozart, I find that I’m missing a few octaves. So, I’m getting a full size Clavinova 220 digital piano. We just re arranged my living room to make space for it. My favorite bands/singers are (In order)-

Sarah Kelly (Worship music)
Casting crowns (Worship)
Point of Grace (Worship)
Joy Williams (Worship)
Natalie Grant (Worship)

My favourite albums from these groups are (in order)
Take me away (Sarah Kelly)
Steady on (Point of Grace)
Casting Crowns (Casting Crowns)
Deeper life (Natalie Grant)
Genesis (Joy Williams)

And favorite songs, from these albums are (in order)-

Take me away (Take me away)
When the wind blows (Steady on)
Live for today (Deeper life)
Beautiful redemtion (Genesis)
Who am I (Casting Crowns)

59~ Um, if you want more of a Celtic rock, check out Gaelic Storm. They have a lot of drinking songs though, but nothing that would make your parents too worried. (as in explicit content or whatever; I don’t listen to that.) If you want less of the rock sound maybe check out Maggies Music for a bunch of really good traditional artists. If youre interested in a more historical group, look up the Itinerant Band. They have sort of historic/celtic music, and are good friends of mine. There are gazillions of other bands, artists, you name it. Everything I’ve just mentioned is American.
If you look around, you’ll find a sound that you like and go from there. I suggest buying compilations, because they give you a wide range of groups in a certain style, so it’s a good “diving board”. Have fun.

(70) MF – Concertinas come in two basic designs: English and Anglo-German. (That refers to the way they’re made, not the country they’re made in.) Concertinists sometimes call them “hee-hee” and “hee-haw” concertinas, because the English ones make the same note on the in and out strokes, whereas Anglo models make different notes.

I ~~recommend~~ like English “hee-hee” concertinas. They have a wider range than Anglos, and their keyboards were designed by an English physicist named Wheatstone — very logical and elegant. Mine is a tenor, with the same range as a viola. I like having access to the low range and find I don’t need the higher notes that a treble concertina (or a violin) can hit but a tenor can’t.

Concertinas are great fun, a good accompaniment to sea chanteys. Their only disadvantage is that they aren’t very loud. They’re fine for what you might call chamber-folk music, but if you play in a band, even with other acoustic instruments, you’re likely to be drowned out. If you need an instrument that will punch through the others, you might consider a button accordion.

On the other hand, many people prefer Anglo concertinas, and I’m told that they’re the traditional type for Irish music. I’d say go to the music store, try both, and see which one “clicks” with you.

75- Of course. You’re new. You don’t know me yet. Flood is my favorite album, I think. I’ve only heard Flood, album/CDs from They Got Lost (2001) until now (minus Here Come The ABCs), and the Dial-A-Song compilation. I want to hear them all eventually. You really should check out This Might Be a Wiki. [Snip! –Robert]

In other news, when I downloaded iTunes 7.3 last night, apparently a file didn’t save or something, because I’m told I have to reinstall when I try to open it. And the wiki says Podcast 28A is out, and I’m subscribed and everything! *dies*
I suppose it could be because I didn’t restart the computer. I’ll try that before reinstalling, I suppose. *dies again while waiting for everything to load, which always takes forever*

I liked the Winter Wake better, personally, but it’s a but heavier in some songs (like the one the album is titled after). But there’s also some more melodic songs on it, like On the Morning Dew.
Wyrd is good too, it’s more folk than metal, where as there’s a bit more metal in TWW (but it’s still rather folk).

I would listen to a song or two of either and pick for yourself, on YouTube or something.

73/74 (Robert)~ Yes, I was thinking of the English concertina, I would NEVER be able to keep track of 2 notes per button. *shudder* I was looking on the internet a few days ago, and all the concertinas I saw seemed to “classed ” on how many buttons they had, from just 18 to 50 some, I think. Gack! What to do?! I heard them first with the sea shanties, I love maritime music, and thought it would be fun to be able to play along. I’m not in a band, but I play music with a lot of my friends, always differing in what instruments to how many people.
What is the difference between a button accordian and a concertina? Besides volume.

Ricardo Arjona- Minutos

El reloj de pared
anunciando las 6:23.
El pasado con sed,
Y el presente es un atleta sin pies.

Y a son las 6:43
Y el cadÃ¡ver del minuto que paso,
Me dice asÃ se vive aquÃ te guste o no.
Y la nostalgia pone casa en mi cabeza,
Y dan las 6 con 50.

Quien te dijo que yo
Era el sueÃ±o que soÃ±aste una vez,
Quien te dijo que tu
VoltearÃas mi futuro al revÃ©s,
Ya son las 7:16,
Y el cadÃ¡ver del minuto que paso,
Me dice tu estrategia te arruino,
No queda mas que ir aprendiendo a vivir solo,
Si te quedan agallas.

La casa no es otra cosa,
Que un cementerio de historias,
Enterradas en fosas,
Que algunos llaman memoria.

Minutos,
Como sal en la herida,
Se me pasa la vida,
Gastando el reloj,
Minutos,
Son la morgue del tiempo,
CadÃ¡veres de momentos,
Que no vuelven jamÃ¡s,
No hay reloj que de vuelta hacia atrÃ¡s.

Como duele gastar,
El instante en el que tu ya no estas,
Como cuesta luchar
Con las cosas que no vuelven mas,
Ya son las 9:23
Y el cadÃ¡ver del minuto que paso,
Se burla de mis ganas de besar
la foto que dejaste puesta en el burÃ³,
Mi soledad es tu venganza,
El misterio del tiempo,
Puso sede en mi almohada,
AhÃ te encuentro a momentos
Aunque no sirve de nada.

Minutos,
Como sal en la herida,
Se me pasa la vida,
Gastando el reloj,
Minutos,
Son la morgue del tiempo,
CadÃ¡veres de momentos,
Que no vuelven jamÃ¡s,
No hay reloj que de vuelta hacia atrÃ¡s.

Minutos que se burlan de mi
Minutos como furia de mar
Minutos pasajeros de un tren que no va a ningÃºn lugar
Minutos como lluvia de sal
Minutos como fuego en la piel
Minutos forasteros que vienen y se van sin decir
Minutos que me duelen sin ti
minutos que no pagan pensiÃ³n
Minutos que al morir formaran el batallÃ³n de ayer
minutos que se roban la luz
Minutos que me oxidan la fe
Minutos inquilinos del tiempo mientras puedan durar
Minutos que disfrutan morir
Minutos que no tienen lugar
Minutos que se estrellan en mi….son caminases de dios.

mmkay. how do you alls like nightwish, within temptation, epica, lacuna coil? right now i’m really into them. basically they all sound like evanescence except a ton better. go listen!

Besides, I’m listening to Masterplan and Elvenking. I recommend Masterplan, by the way. The lyrics apparently aren’t very original, but it’s really hard to hear them anyway. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I have the bass turned up. And what’s a helloween cover?

What I don’t like about rock/heavymetal: It doesn’t make sense; it sort of kills one’s ears; there is no plot to the lyrics… It seems like the lyrics are mostly of hopelesness. Also, I like to listen to music that tells a story. As in, beginning, middle, end. It seems like the music is a jumbled mess of words that make no sense.

What you said about story driven lyrics reminds me of a band called 12012 (” ichi ni zero ichi ni”/Japanese). The majority of their songs are, I believe,interconnected and focus on a single person. Not being a fan I don’t know the particulars, but something like that seems interesting to me.

the metal you listen to is in the minority, but it’s what gets most radio playing time. Don’t listen to nu-metal, emocore, screamo, and all that crap. Go with power metal (Kamelot, Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica), folk metal (Eluveitie, Elvenking, Korpiklaani, Finntroll, Moonsorrow). Good stories. Check out the song Forever by Kamelot, it’s a variation of a Grieg piece, and V:Havitetty by Moonsorrow. The whole album is just 2 songs long, half an hour each, but it’s fantastic, and it got a great review in the NY times. There is no swearing, it tells a story, and it is incredibly complex, more so than anything else.

hmm. did my post disappear for a reason?
*tries again.*
139-trust me. this is not the way it really is. check out avantasia. an entire metal opera. and here are some lyrics.

We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail,
Deep in the land of the Rus’.
Following the wind in our sails,
And the rhythm of the oars.
No shelter in this hostile land,
Constantly on guard.
Ready to fight and defend
Our ship â€˜til the bitter end.

We came under attack,
I received a deadly wound.
A spear was forced into my back
Still I fought on.

When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory

Now here I lay on the river bank
A long, long way from home
Life is pouring out of me
Soon I will be gone.

I tilt my head to the side
And think of those back home
I see the river rushing by
Like blood runs from my wound.

Here I lie on wet sand,
I will not make it home.
I clinch my sword in my hand,
Say farewell to those I love.

When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Place my weapons by my side
For the journey to Hall up high
When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory

139-if you like story lyrics, definitely listen to rush. almost every single song is a story. Xanadu is about a man searching for immortality, REd Barchetta about a kiddo in the future driving on of those outlawed GroundCars!, cygnus x-1 is about someone trying to fly through a black hole, cinderella man is about a philanthropist….and it goes on and on.

Yeah, I guess I’ll see if the library has anything. Thanks for the sugesstions.
Another thing, often that sort of music seems deally discordant, and is pretty much shreds your ears. Now, I know I’m still stuck in the 18th century when it comes to music, but it seems like there is no attention to singing in tune or any effort to make it sound beautiful.
Metal Opera?!?! How does that work? It just seems like a huge contadiction.

146- It depends on which metal you’re looking at. The stuff on the radio seems to never be the more melodic kind and often I don’t like it, but there’s a ton of stuff that is more so and is singing, not just growling. Check out Kamelot, they’re a good example of this.

142-i honestly can’t decide if i like this stuff or not. there will be a song that’s absolutely amazing that i love, and another song that i just think “…eurgh…” and they’ll be by the same artist. or there will be a song where the music is absolutely amazing but the singing will be that horrible growling stuff or it’ll be great music through half of it and then it’ll just flop somehow, or start going too heavy for me, or i won’t like the song but there’ll be one little bit that’s just incredible…

anyway, i think overall i like elvenking best and moonsorrow least (although moonsorrow’s the main one that’s confusing me, with bits i like and bits i don’t)

I suppose none of you have heard of the recent Albert Hall event? A bloke called Davitt Moroney (honestly) has been rummaging around in a library in Paris, and he’s unearthed a mass by one Alessandro Striggio, which was famous in the 16th century, but everyone thought it had been lost. It was written in 40 parts. That’s not just 40 singers arranged in a standard SATB chorus. You can hear that anywhere. It’s 40 independent vocal lines, with just one singer on each line, arranged in TEN SATB choirs, all belting along simultaenously, and every singer singing something different. Somehow, it all fits together.
Britain’s own Thomas Tallis heard it and took up the challenge, producing his own 40-part motet, “Spem in alium”, which has happily survived, and gets an occasional airing when 40 singers can get past the fear barrier.
There’s just one thing Tallis conveniently forgot when he decided to go into competition. The last bit of Striggio’s mass, the Ave Maria, bursts into SIXTY parts. Now that’s what I call an ending. It’s all wonderfully impressive. It’s not often we get a new piece of 16th century music, and to get a stunner like the Striggio is causing some serious gloating among the early music fraternity. Just thought you’d like to know.

153: Moonsorrow are very complex, and very difficult to get into. They mix a lot of the growling black metal with acoustic, melodic pagan stuff, and the result is fantastic. I have their latest, Havitetty. It’s 2 songs, half an hour each, for an hour of music. Epic as hell, but really difficult to listen to.

157: Ulver are atmospheric black metal, something like Burzum.

2 – Me too! All too often I judge a CD by its cover.

4 – The Beatles are amazing!

6 – I like TMBG too. Is “Birdhouse in Your Soul” supposed to have any meaning? My friends and I have been trying to figure that song out for months with no success.

7 – I used to play cello and accordion, but now I don’t play anything, or at least I don’t take lessons anymore. I love listening to music, but playing it just isn’t my thing.

15 – Is that the band that sings the song about wanting an alien for Christmas? If so, I’ve heard of them.

17 – You live in Denmark? That’s cool! Good luck pursuing what you want to do even if your parents don’t support you! I’m probably guilty of the same as those people who listen to American hip-hop without understanding it; I listen to a lot of music in other languages and have no idea what the singers are saying. It could be completely obscene and I’d never know.

28 – Wow!

60 – Who am I! Despite being a Christian, I usually don’t care much for Christian music, but I do like that song.

65 – Awesome, good luck with that!

78 – I’d never heard of Elvenking, but I’m listening to it now. I like!

84 – I like “Pain” by Three Days Grace, but I’ve never heard any of their other songs.

96 – Another Sonata Arctica fan? Finally!!! I keep asking my friends and no one has heard of them. What’s your favorite song by them? I like “Fullmoon”. I’m also really into Nightwish at the moment.

103 – Listening to dark/depressing metal when I’m sad always cheers me up. Somehow the extreme sound calms me.Does metal have that effect on anyone else or am I just weird?

109 – If I don’t look up the lyrics I can’t make out a word most of the metal bands I listen to are singing. Maybe that’s why they don’t depress me.

112 – Symphonic metal might just be my new favorite genre. I agree about Nightwish, though; they’re not as good without their old vocalist.

116 – Same with me. I never used to care much about music, but now that I have an iPod I’m addicted!

My highest play count as of now is 190 on iTunes. The song is “Rocker” by Alter Ego.

142 – Unfortunately, the good metal that is not hopeless and tells a story doesn’t get played on the radio, or at least it doesn’t here.

147 – I sympathize! My library’s CD collection is lacking as well.

159 – Is there a recording of that online somewhere? I’d love to hear it!

Has anyone heard of Running Wild or E Nomine? Those are two of my all-time favorite bands. Running Wild is pirate metal, and E Nomine is…well, I’ve heard it described as “Gregorian techno”, but I don’t really know what to call it.

“142 – Unfortunately, the good metal that is not hopeless and tells a story doesn’t get played on the radio, or at least it doesn’t here.”
of course not… very very sad it is.
sonata arctica is the sh**. really. i actually really like their cover of over the hills and far away. other favorites are replica, broken, the gun, dream theives, victoria’s secret, wolf and raven, shamandalie**, dont say a word, aint your fairytale. yea. lots.
i can give you a really good list of bands if you liek operatic/symphonic/power metal.
as i said, epica, within temptation, lacuna coil. then avantasia, kamelot, blind guardian, dream evil(thats a maybe.. diffrerent style) edguy, hammerfall and helloween(maybe i’m straying from what you like with those, idk.) anyhoo, the forst 6 you must check out.

Within Tempation and Lacuna Coil are more goth bands than anything, and not too good. WT last offering was really a pile of bullcrap. But they’re still a lot better than their american counterpart, Evanescence.

170: I love every single SA song. I have everything, every single, every mini cd, except the Paid In Full single, which has a cover of Gary Moore’s Wild Frontier. What do you think about the new album? Lots of people don’t like the style change.
I don’t like Nightwish. At all. It’s a shame, Emppu Vuorinen and Marco Hietala are both really good musicians (just listen to Tarot: so much better!), but with Tarja it’s just a goth band for the emo girls to get depressed to. Forget Tarja, maybe they’ll go a bit more power metal with the new singer.

Anyway, I just downloaded a bunch of female folk singers. Aimee Mann, Patty Griffin, Dar Williams, Fiona Apple. They were listed as similar artists to Ani DiFranco so they should be good.

173- We have Aimee Mann I think, from what I recall she’s pretty good.

Looked up Sonota Arctica a while ago, but I can’t buy a cd off itunes because I’m down to… 4.53 on the gift cards. I have more money on my moms acount, but she’s not signed in at the moment. Same with the irish band, Gaelic Storm.

Obsessive, me? anyway. Good song, that.

Limewire is life, as i think i’ve said before. i got it fairly recently, over this summer i think, early on. My dad keeps getting annoyed because it takes me longer to log out now, since it takes forever to shut down, and he claims i’ve put it to start up on login (which i haven’t, but only because i haven’t been bothered).

does bittorrent work on macs? i’ve never tried it. andy obsesses over it, but he would, being a hopeless geek (and you know a geek’s pretty hopeless when i feel secure enough to call them a hopeless geek without fear of being laughed at for hypocrisy). He runs linux though i think. and i know a couple other people who have it but they’ve got windows.

I’ve discovered Afro-Celt Soundsystem, which I really like. I also listen to alot of the albums from the Putumayo…company? Whatever it is, I own about seven of so of their CDs. It’s kind of cool, because the ones I own don’t just feature one artist or group.

On a rather random note, I really need to start practicing my piano and flute more…

213: Wanna see Elvenking, go to Europe. Southern. They’d only come to the states if they were the support act for a bigger band, because there simply isn’t a big enough fan base in the US for this genre.
Oh and if you do wind up going to a metal concert… Bring ear plugs, don’t be delicate, you’re gonna be punched, bashed around and basically have the time of your life.

215: In metal concerts you have to watch out for the mosh pit. It’s an area up front where everyone’s running around into each other, and it’s contagious. At a certain point the whole crowd is moving, and you can’t move yourself, just go with the flow. It’s amazing, fun, and there’s a fantastic feeling of brotherhood, but just… watch out, ya know?

216- Noted. I think I’d have make an exception to how I don’t like people touching me a lot if I ever get to go to one, but it sounds awesome.

Though ‘at all costs’ would invole somehow convincing my parents to let me go to a concert, and if it’s metal they might not agree, heh… actually, thinking about it I don’t think they know I listen to it, as I do so through my ipod. Hmm.
Although we did win tickets to a Dead concert and they let me and my sister come with when we were younger (10, 12, something). But it wasn’t that intense anyway, and they were there. *sigh* More plotting needed.

222: Ignorance and fear, mainly. My parents took a while to accept metal, now even they appreciate it. I recommend getting them to listen to something progressive or neo-classical. A perfect cd for that is An Evening With John Petrucci And Jordan Rudess. These are two musicians in Dream Theater, a prog metal band out of Berklee school of music, doing an album of jazz improvs. Guitar and piano.

There’s not much limit to what I can listen to. I avoid just about everything but Folk and a *teensy* bit of Alternative and Rock if iTunes is correct in dubbing The Pentangle and Josephine Foster Rock and Joanna Newsom Alternative (I think that iTunes is wrong, with the first two at least), but I could listen to almost anything if I so chose. I just don’t choose to.
That choice, unfortunately, does not protect me from the music tastes of the rest of the family. They all have tastes similar to mine, but wide enough to extend to things like The Ramones or DuranDuran. (Spare me.)

I like pretty much any rock. Oldies, Metal, Emo, Alternative, whatever. I don’t really care about genres, i just listen to stuff.

I went to the Family Values Tour on August 4th. It’s set up by Korn and they had Evanescence and Flyleaf, along with some other people. My sister and her friend came and my dad drove us. My dad is fun because he likes all kinds of music and doesn’t have any subliminal messaging paranoia.

*twitches* EK Sythe release date for US November 6th.
I’m not really thinking a lot about this, just letting it graze over my mine veryveryvery lightly so I don’t feel it. Ahg.

281- Coldplay, yes, right… Well, I’m one for sad songs myself, but I’ll try to see which ones other than them are good… umm…

By cd, then:

Parachutes
Don’t Panic– is a H2G2 reference, I believe, and it’s okay but you can’t really get the reference from the song, just the title. I just put it on this list because of the reference actually. Heh…
Spies– Sort of erie-sounding, tad creepy.
Yellow– Good song, one of the few you hear on the radio. If you’ve heard it to much it can be very tiresome though.
Everything’s Not Lost Okay song, nice message. I don’t have many favorites on this cd. Actually it’s probably my least favorite one of theirs.

A Rush of Blood to the Head
This cd I do like. I the songs on it better than the ones on the other cds. It’s…rock-y-er than parachutes. Still rather mellow songs, though.
Politik– Nice heavyish drum/guitar intro, and then soft lyrics over guitar, then ocasionally more drum crashes and chords. It’s a surprisingly good combination.
God Put A Smile Upon My Face– I like the melody, and the lyrics though I’m not really religious.
The Scientist– I sent you this song, it’s sad and sweet and I like it a lot. I listen to it when I’m sad sometimes, which doesn’t really make me happy but I feel better in an odd way.
Clocks– The other one you hear on the radio a lot. I like the intro. Again, can get tiresome if you’ve heard it a lot.
A Rush of Blood to the Head– The one the album’s titled after, I like it. …I started posting ssome lyrics here, but then I typed up to much and it took up room so I took them out. Too bad…
Amsterdam– Another sad one, though the end isn’t to deressing. “I stood on the edge, tied to the noose, but you came along, and you cut me loose…”

X&Y
White Shadows
Fix You– Another more heard Coldplay song, but I like it. Yay sad songs…
X&Y– I like these lyrics. “Trying hard to speak and/Fightin’ with my weak hand/Drivin’ to distraction/All part of the plan…”
Speed of Sound– I don’t like this one as much as other people seem to, I hear it played a lot. It’s pretty good though.
A Message– …I may be the only one who really likes this song, as I listened to it when I was int he *exact* mood for hearing it, and I felt the way the song described at the time nearly to a match. So on it goes…
The Hardest Part
Swallowed in the Sea– Sad again, but very good IMO

Running out of time for descriptions. Sorry.

There, 17 instead of the origanal 34. That’s a bit better.

Oh, and Kingdom Come, if you’ve listened to it, was origanally written for Johnny Cash. Later they gave it to Coldplay. Just a random tidbit… once durring Austin City Limits they broke out into Ring of Fire in the middle. hehe.

i rapidshared a link to a good torrent for the scythe that is seeded.
http:// rapidshare.com/ files/ 55839917/ Elvenking_The_Scythe.torrent.html
no idea how you can get a decent one if it gets snipped though. otherwise, meh. you’ll have to wait until the sixth. i encourage you not to though.

[I’m allowing it, but not as a link. Anyone who wants to use it just has to copy-and-paste it and remove the spaces. –Robert]

yea. obviosuly since its only like 5 kbs, its only a torrent. you need to get a program like bittorent, utorrent etc… there are tons. utorrent is really small, and good so i reccomend. google it. then open the torrent with utorrent, and it should dl in about and hour. or, opera has a bittorent client built in, but w/e.

really?
umm. you did everything right.. uhh. try to open it again? just double click the .torrent, and it should open in utorrent automatically..what i do is when you save the file, instead of doing save, do open with-utorrent or whatever. but it really shouldnt make a difference. i just dled it again and it opened fine. try downlaoding it again, and opening again.

the only thin gi can think is that if utorrent thinks its not a .torrent, you should check to see if it is a .torrent. basically, just dl the torrent again, and try again.

AHEM. In FS’s leaving post he said he was going to be doing stuff with a band, which I’m not sure is the one he was in before. He’d be traveling and such maybe.
316- Why did you do that? Some of us have his email, I think. I do but I don’t use it, as now that he’s left MB he’s out of the going-ons here, and if people leave I don’t think we should contact them unless they want us to.

Then again, if I’m browsing cds and see his name on one I’d probably try to find some way to congratulate him.

311-lol @ nativity. elvenking may be completely unheard of here, but it’s famous. FS is like 15, and he is NOT famous.
i like the rhcp. they are talented, and creative. i despise emo, and everything it stands for. whiny, bad lyrics and uncreative, untalented, basically just bad instrumentals. bands like MCR are really just in it for the money. they are what we call “posers” mascara on males is NOT cool. whatever it is meant to signify, MCR definitely do not believe.
on a positive note, has everyone here heard of last.fm? its really, really, really good. it takes whatever you’re listening to, and puts it up on their site. then it has free radio, with really really accurate recommendations for music that you will like. everyone h ere needs to try it.
recently downloaded-
korpiklaani disco-excellent folk/viking metal. just awesome.
ensiferum-iron.-i had the first album, this one is amazing as well. viking metal at its best.
finntroll disco-trollish folk/viking metal with lots of black metal influences. amazing. i went to a concert of theirs and it got a giant picture in the times, which never happens for metal, let alone metal no one here listens to.

Mmkay, FS sent an email to clear some things up. Says he drops by the blog every now and then to see what people are saying, even if he doesn’t post anymore. We’re probably just adding branches to his bonfire of an ego with all the “Aww, FS is gone…” posts (…even if they’re true…).

He is 16, and play’s guitar in a band called Soul’s Mirror. They’re recording a demo and playing a bunch of gigs, so maybe we’ll see his name somewhere in the future. And he is not in Elvenking, as has been explained previously.
He also says that anyone who knows his email is free to contact him, but I’m not going to post it for the obvious reasons. Also gave a website he can be found at, but I doubt it’d get though so I won’t post that either.

Oh, and DDoD, he want’s a demonoid invite.

323-well, actually right now it doesnt.. but thats beside the point, as i belive its coming back up again. demonoid is a private bittorent tracker, it tracks people who are seeding torrents. but since its private, you can only get in with an invite. and umm on the site, you can dl lots and lots of different torrents. an invite code is a looong list of hex.
325-dear god! type slower! i cant tell if you’re saying nightwish is good, or bad. it is, btw, mostly bad. if you like that stuff, look into within temptation, epica, and lacuna coil. kk?
