While it is a stupid lyric she is very much saying direction.

Okay here's another one. This time I won't spoil what you're "supposed" to hear.
Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann. What does he say after "blinded by the light"? He repeats it several times at the beginning of the song. Spoiler: show

No, we're not far off! "Feminine hygiene product" IS douche. The other words aren't important, just as long as you hear that one it's all good.

Totally didn't get that. The only douches I'm used to, besides the colloquial insult, are all ones done in a hospital or clinic. When you said "feminine hygiene product," I didn't even question it: I just assumed that this is what you literally thought you heard. So embarrassed. ^^;

Very cool cover. Like it better than the original. Also, I don't think I've ever posted LCD Soundsystem before. This is a crime. Dance Yrself Clean

Have listened to the rest of the album, find it a bit hit and miss. Some great tracks, some distinctly mediocre ones.
Anyway, for today; Eating Me Alive - Miracles of Modern Science

In unrelated news, I'm gonna link an old favorite of mine. First four minutes are atmospheric and slow, but the song gradually builds into something absolutely amazing. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Moya Spoiler: show

No idea why this is so catchy. No idea why I keep listening to it. But every time I remember it I go look it up again...

Mr. Brightside cover - Run River North (formerly Monsters Calling Home)
Their full album is fantastic. They kinda remind me of a mix between Hudson Taylor and the Parlotones.

One of my favorite bands, AWOLNATION, just released a catchy new song today. If you enjoy a healthy mix of electronic instrumentals with rock with a bit of a soul twisted in, you might like their music.
Here is their new single, Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf) Spoiler: show |

Metronomy - The Bay
Lead singer may have one of the worst beards of all time, but I quite like the song.

As for the song, all I can really offer on this one is that it reminds me just how out of touch I am with music after the 1980s and how I have always been out of touch with music that isn't mainstream. Even when I don't like their music, I'll know a song or two that belongs to the generation's Backstreet Boys or Lady Gaga. But give me a band like these guys and fast forward us by twenty years and I can guaranteee you: I wouldn't be surprised to hear it on some friend or coworker's Pandora radio but I also would have absolutely no idea who they were. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Neat shares, guys! Not the sort of music I normally listen to, but it's fun to see what friends are listening to. Thanks for sharing with us.

So it's of course ironic that, despite the sound, the box art on YouTube tells me that this is more than likely an East Asian band. ^^;;;;;; orz This is very mellow, very pleasant. Not paying too close attention to the lyrics though. Easiest way to describe this genre to me is "coffeehouse music." Sounds like the sort of music I'd expect an aspiring musician to play at a coffeehouse in a college town. That isn't a put down. (Nor is it a put up? It's a dead neutral description.) I don't really have an ear for what separates one such band from the rest, so I can't really weigh in on these guys. But I'm glad you're enjoying them. The music seems nice and [lol naive me?] judging from its sound it would seem that the people who made it are nice people too. [/lnm?] ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Double post, but I think that catches me back up to what I last checked out in this thread. And it also takes us a full month back in time, so ... One of the things I know that I personally can find demotivating with this thread is the utter lack of feedback. You're not even sure if people listened to the music, much less liked it. Hopefully these posts give the five of you some confirmation that, even if weeks late, at least one person did listen. Once again, thanks for sharing.

I actually looked into the group after discovering them, and it turns out they're a Korean-American indie band. Their original name, "Monsters Calling Home", refers to how their immigrant parents left behind their ethnic culture to pursue the American dream, and how the choices they made created "monsters" in the children's eyes. I also read about how Honda surprised them with a performance gig on Jimmy Kennel Live! after they recorded, shot, and edited one of their music videos in their Honda vehicles. (The official version is a lot more macabre.) While I like their story and the sound of their music, I find myself relating to a lot of their lyrics as well, so that's a plus. ("Lying Beast" in particular also reminds me of Kano. *shot*) P.S. Wow at the vocalist in your video. I'd heard the song before but did not expect him to look so young. XD On a somewhat related note I guess: "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit.

Anyways, the three songs I've been listening to a lot recently are Sub.Sound - Start Again, The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It, and Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets - Rewriter. The first is from a guy I've been following for a while, so it's great seeing him get more popular. Just a really feel good, but still kinda mellow electronic track. Fantastic music as always from him. Great vibe, good drops, and he's got some of the vocal splicing in there that I just adore in songs for some reason. The second is a song from The Killers that I've just started to enjoy a lot more recently. I've always been a Killers fan, and I've had different favorite songs from them at different times. Right now I guess this one's just my favorite xd. The last one is just my favorite song from the album I found and downloaded when looking for a certain song by Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets after hearing it on a tumblr that I think Yuki linked. No idea what the actual lyrics are since I can't understand Japanese and can't find any translations, but I enjoy it anyways.

I want to delete the majority of the billboard chart toppers from the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s and ask society to re-examine why we kicked the '60s and '70s to the curb. I want more like this. And a whole, whole heck of a lot less of this.

I feel this is an unfair example. One one side we have a fairly fun song about body positivity and loving yourself and on the other side... we have bloody Fleetwood Mac, possibly one of the greatest bands that ever existed.

The point isn't "the music of the '60s was universally great." The point is that the (say) top 1% of music from the '60s so utterly decimates the top 1% of music from the '00s that it makes me sad and frustrated. Quote:
People say the same thing of the Beatles. People say the same thing of Queen. Lot of great gifts from the '60s and '70s. What have the '00s given us? Sure, there are people who say that bands like Limp Bizkit or Nickelback are the best band of all time , but my point is that those people are ridiculously outnumbered by those who'd turn to the legends of the '60s and '70s. Most people would never in seriousness suggest that the Backstreet Boys were the greatest band of all time, and yet for their time they were as popular in this country as were the Beatles for their time. And I feel like, "What does that say about us? "

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and no two are exactly the same. Trust me, I'm something of an expert.
Now, I'll fully admit I find modern pop music, especially chart-toppers nowadays, complete and utter garbage, personally. But they bring in the fans, so they must be doing something right. What does that say about us? That humanity is protean and varied and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Besides, the fact that one might consider newer music garbage does absolutely nothing to detract from music as a whole. New music coming out in no way eradicates the old favourites you love so much. Even if I hate things like Bieber and Gaga, they do nothing to make older music worse, and they add to music culture. Sure, the additions, to me at least, suck, but if you hate it you don't have to listen to it. I'm vocal about hating modern pop, but at the end of the day, while I may make teasing jabs at others for their (horrid) tastes in music, it's their choice and theirs alone. There's also the fact that with such varied musical tastes that are common now, there's always good new music to find if you know where to look. There is new music being made of pretty much every genre, even if it's more underground or less well-known. Classic music is not one genre. There are several different genres they fit and they're only put under one umbrella nowadays because they're from similar time periods. Nostalgia lenses are also pretty damn strong. tl;dr: the creation of new music can only ever be a benefit to the culture of music, because there's not a limit to the amount of music that can exist. Creation of new music does not destroy old music so there's really no reason for outrage. Besides, I honestly believe that in another 20-30 years, what we've seen happen with artists from the 60s and 70s and 80s will happen with the music we know now |
