I went to junior high with the lead singer of the band, so my views are probably skewed a little on the band. I don't mind them too much.

I really hope you're going back and reimaging all of your high school memories of him to include the top hat and him just breaking out into song and dance numbers.

I don't understand why Panic! at the Disco have received this kind of reception from the listening public. All of their hooks are minor and clearly inferior to their peers, who aren't stunning examples of song-writers themselves.

They are really just a diluted version of everything that came before them.

What really gets my goat is the fact that much of their early success and popularity was spurred on by people hearing their music on Myspace and liking it enough to champion it. It just doesn't make sense to me how this could happen.

Avant-Garde does not neccessarily mean good.

Well, yes. It's a particular strain or subset of music, not one artist's output. Of course a lot of it is terrible.

Hat · « **Reply #52 on:** 29 May 2006, 00:18 »

If they aren't actually doing anything new, can you really call them "Avant Garde"?

Or is this like the "Indie" thing where you just take a concept and attach it to a specific genre and thats what it means forever and ever now?

(Ok, so my ill-informed opinion might have made a lot more sense if I had remembered there was a second page. Dang.)

Rizzo: You make interesting points. I do not agree neccessarily but you make interesting points. Aside from that, Converge is pretty cool and Blood Brothers are great.

I'll panic your disco...

I thought that their music video with the circus people at the wedding was at least humorous. I don't know about the song but whoever was involved in making the video did a good job on it.

It can be redundant, in the same way that prog can be redundant; I mean, both of them are supposed to be these, well, progressive, I guess, bands and yet so many things in the group are not moving forward. But still, in both there's plenty of people that are still lightyears ahead of all those who came before. Coil are still doing amazingly interesting stuff that is so massively different than Can and Amon Duul and whatnot that there's no way that you can listen to one after the other and not see some sort of progression. I could say the same thing about a few prog bands. But I'm not going to. Because basically, my point is this: In every genre, there are people who are just going to rehash what's already been done before, and there are people who are going to go out and do something new.

A friend from mine who's a couple years younger really likes Panic!, but I haven't gotten around to checking them out yet. They are playing a show with the Dresden Dolls that I want to see for the dolls, so I'll let you all know how they are live. Still, from what I've heard I may just end up leaving after the dolls if they're as described herein.

Also, every genre has copycats and followers and leaders. That's the way it is. I think the avant-grade term still applies to followers, as they'd still be near the forefront.

I actually remember a time at a volunteer thingy we both were at where he started beat-boxing with some friends and imagined him doing it in a tophat. It gave me a laugh. O_o

John Zorn/Naked City (Torture Garden is nice), Frank Zappa's composing sort of works (Uncle Meat), Captain Beefheart, The Residents are generally the tip of the iceberg.

I don't know....John Zorn is a bit too masturbatory for my tastes. When I listen to him, I just get an image of "This is art! omg! I'm experimenting!"

My roommate who works for some label does analysis of competetors data, and apperantly Panic is somthing like 90% of Fueled By Ramen's profit. That's disgusting.

Hang on...WHICH Simon and Garfunkel Classics are you talking about? The Sound of Silence? Bridge Over Troubled Water? El Condor Pasa? I Am A Rock? The Boxer? America?

I can't remember a single happy song they ever did apart from Mrs. Robinson.

ZJGent · « **Reply #69 on:** 10 Jun 2006, 07:00 »

my specific classes were indeed Mrs. Robinson, also Cecilia, Julian, and uh... the one with the gay teenager. I cannot remember the title.
also paul simon on his own:
boy in the bubble, diamonds on the soles of her shoes, graceland, that was your mother etc. Pretty much all of the Graceland album.
yummy. but dirty.

Paul Simon > Simon and Garfunkle.

And you just named, Mrs Robinson, and a bunch of Paul Simon songs.

Joseph · « **Reply #71 on:** 10 Jun 2006, 11:21 »

Well, The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) is most defitaly a happy one. Though I have a feeling that I got the number wrong.

Soidanae · « **Reply #72 on:** 10 Jun 2006, 11:58 »

Cecilia is happy? The guy is completely at ht emercy of a girl who will play around behind his back even when that back is just inside the bathroom door. It's not a good thing he's jubilant.

ZJGent · « **Reply #74 on:** 11 Jun 2006, 05:27 »

to be fair, I probably did just name a load of Paul Simon songs, because Paul Simon is betterer and did all the writing anyway.

also, the guy in cecilia is me. I like the song because I share his pain.

i was wearing a tux and a fedora in the city last night (i was going to a theme party) and a bunch of giggling idiot girls flocked to me and said "HEY, DO YOU KNOW THAT PANIC AT THE DISCO SONG? DO THAT THING FROM THE VIDEO!"
i had no idea what they were talking about and told them that my (i forget which STD i told them) was reacting explosively to their presence and that i must leave immediately to attend to it.

Johnny C · « **Reply #76 on:** 11 Jun 2006, 22:09 »

You should know what they are talking about. It's easily the most ridiculous thing to happen to music videos ever. He turns his head while tilting the hat over one eye and making a comically exaggerated grimace.

Chlamydia?

Maui · « **Reply #78 on:** 14 Jun 2006, 20:52 »

I ended up getting the Panic! CD for christmas and i've listened to it a few times and was pretty dissapointed. I don't completely hate them and i'll listen to the CD with some of my friends who are fans, but i'm just totally underwhelmed by them.
Same with the arctic monkeys (since we were talking about them earlier), there was such hype around them so i downloaded a few songs and they basically sounded like a glorified garage band, wtf?

Faw · « **Reply #79 on:** 15 Jun 2006, 13:06 »

might've been chlamydia. oh well. i'm gonna form a band where we just plug in some synth boards and smack each other with 'em. oops, the locust. nevermind.

Hey, I like Panic! At the Disco. If you've ever heard their demos, they're SOOO much different than the finished product... it's like, somebody took them and popularified them to make them catchier. But in the demos they have a really mellow sound... and I like it.

Wait wait wait...

People have been reccomending music and no My Bloody Valentine? Listening to Loveless opened me up to a whole lot of other stuff I might not have previously given a chance. If music appreciation is comparable to learning a language then Loveless is twenty people shouting at you in an alien tongue but after a little while you understand exactly what they mean.

I like the Arctic Monkeys for the fact that they sound like a garage band. One of the reasons Panic! At the Disco just, well, just isn't very good is because it feels constructed. It feels like a record executive sat down with them after hearing the first cut and said, "see guys this is great, fantastic, but wouldn't it be even better if you made it sound exactly like this?" Then the executive played a Fallout Boy CD. Then the band and the executive performed a blood sacrifice, after which the executive bid them adieu and disappeared in a puff of sulphur smoke, his cloven hoofprints leaving burnmarks on the carpet.

i liked panic until the album got boring. very quickly.
also they are probably one of the worst live bands ive seen since atreyu (who managed to play a whole verse and chorus of a song with the lead guitarist playing in the wrong key)

also i read arctic monkeys on the page somewhere. theyre demos were realy good, its a shame that there album was about 60% re-recorded/overproduced versions of the demo songs, that annoyed me. as a result i hate that album
