8 year old making awesome music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU6U-8LP1DY#!
Spent most of tonight listening to Igorrr, and now I am thoroughly confused about how music works and why I like this stuff so much.
Diablo Swing Orchestra has a new album out in the next month or so, so in preparation of it I'm listening to Sing Along Songs for the Damned and Delirious. So psyched.
Toy Box (http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=eQuQqRWDELI). Remember Toy Box? That band that
No Welu you are doing Smooth Criminal and that is that, end of story, best song ever.
dISEMBOWELMENT - "Transcendence Into The Peripheral"
a ballad I apparently made in tribute to the Mayor from Powerpuff Girls.Damn... you really ARE a genius. :-o
I listened to a bit of it at work, and thought to myself, "Man, if you could go back to 1970 and explain what I just did to buy the album to the four of them, they'd think I was on a real bad acid trip or something."
They left out the silence on the iTunes version? Dat silly.
"Tomorrow, Tomorrow" - Elliott Smith (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogg2RbPypug)
I'm super bummed out by the fact I have no earthly idea how to play this song. This is the first time I've been completely stumped in a long time.

Von Kleist
He likes Laphroaig! So do I, but I prefer Lagavulin.Both are great but I prefer Bowmore. And, say, Skyclad, which is what I'm listening to.
It's very nice that you guys all like Cher Lloyd now, but for the love of God can you please fucking keep her? Because he loathe her.

There is something really cool about celtic music, specially if you add some punk to the equation.

Just picked up my iPod, hit shuffle, and got Purple Rain.When you complain, that's what it sounds like...when doves cry. :emotrex:
Oh hey look at how I'm not complaining at all about this
Wrong value type sent to the database. Array of integers expected. (quoteids)
It's off the album ...And The Battle Begun! which, from what I understand, is entirely about how badly drugs can fuck you up. This song is about heroin.
And shëndetësor to you, Patrick!
They were wildly more popular on the continent than in the UK for some reason. Many of their albums reached Gold or Platinum in Germany (and the USA), but none in the UK; and they had four No1 albums in Germany, whereas their highest album position in the UK was 24.
Do people know that Alan Parsons engineered Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, and was assistant engineer on the Beatles' Abbey Road and Let It Be?

The last few nights I have been going through my folder of Celtic music and listening to one or two songs from each album.
I am currently listening to Emily Groff singing "Witch Of The Westmerlands".
I am enjoying this activity immensely.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Crazy in Love.
Fuck anyone who says this song isn't perfect.
Since I didn't see it in this thread...gentlemen...BEHOLD!
Die Hard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTyw6cq86kY) by Guyz Nite
Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Crazy in Love.
Fuck anyone who says this song isn't perfect.
"You're my best friend" by Queen is better. :P
Wow. That really makes his singing sound more humanly possible, yet still fucking awesome.
And jesus, dude's pretty damn insecure about performing. Very weird.
Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits are amazing. I can listen to and love their music anytime.
Heresy!What he said.
ZZ-Top - "Sharp Dressed man"It's hard to go wrong with the beards.
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Poetic Pitbull Revolutions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojyqoL_QXj4)I really should get some of their music sometime, I should see if I can order it somewhere. They make me happy and that's worth some money.
That perfect mix of flamenco and metal.
14 year old me would like to headbang along for about 10 minutes and then realise he's not into this as much as he thought he would beYou're missing the point of DragonForce, which is:

I've been listening to Coil's The Ape of Naples on repeat since last night. Currently on Tattooed Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxCwilZwA1s).
I can hear a lot of Tom Waits influence in this album, I really can. That song I linked sounds like it could be a cover of a song from Swordfishtrombones.
Though I got to see Nightwish on tour last year

Napalm Death, need to stay awake at work.
Napalm Death, need to stay awake at work.
I've found that listening to music at work doesn't eh.. work for me. I tend to start listening and forget what I'm doing. Except when I'm really tired. Then it, oddly enough, makes me more focused.
Now listening to Animal Collective. Most of it.
No maid I've seen like the fair Colleen that I met in the County Down.
Star of the County Down - The Irish Rovers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rGhb0pAK30
I am *really* into the new Macklemore album. Outstanding from start to finish.
I don't know if you listen to Diablo Swing Orchestra but you should!
Nanne Grönvall - Håll Om Mig
I always loved the flow of the song, even if I might not understand exactly what she's sayin XD. This is probably one of my favorite songs evar.
I was just sent the Iron Man 3: Heroes Fall album. :-D
Daft Punk- Random Access Memories
Its so good guys. Just, why aren't you listening to this?
Yes, potcheen is essentially Irish moonshine. And I am currently watching my cat (who is trying to sleep on a shelf above my computer) as I listen to Alex Beaton, currently singing "Sound The Pibroch".
I'm addicted to Wardruna, a Norse folk/ambient group from Norway.

Crazy - Within Temptation.
It's of a CD full of cover tracks by WT.Crazy - Within Temptation.
Thanks for this suggestions. I'm not overly familiar with the original (I know...) but I do like hearing her beautiful voice on more mainstream stuff.
Another area band that a friend pointed out to me, Atlas and Arrows (https://www.facebook.com/atlasandarrows). Indie/Folk, female lead with a smooth and smoky voice. They just had a successful Kickstarter to record an album, and here are a couple of the professionally produced songs out of that.Got a chance to film these guys on Friday. Such a solid set, confidently presented. I'm even more impressed with the limitless potential here.
Here's a cover of a Peter Bjorn and John song "Young Folks"
[soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/atlasandarrows/young-folks-cover[/soundcloud]
And here's an original, "Hands"
[soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/atlasandarrows/hands[/soundcloud]
Now listen to those (and even the demos on the rest of the Soundcloud page) and tell me whether you'd guess they're all 16 and still in high school.
One of my recent obsessions.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/29zbgxe.jpg)
So I finally managed to get into Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
I don't know why, but the few times I listened into some of their songs I never really enjoyed it. Some weeks ago I listened to "'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!", and liked it. Now I'm sitting here, enjoying F#A#∞. The music really is a little hard to get into, but it's worth it. Their music is pure art.
Karnivool's 2013 album Asymmetry. Good album, if you're into Tool-esque prog rock. Not an easy listen tho, takes some effort to "get into" the music, with odd time signatures and pacing, and few straight-forward catchy riffs/melodies. Recommended listens: "Who We Are (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_E5ae9ZTwk)", "Aeons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TKC3jW6fzk)". Personally, I prefer their previous album, Sound Awake. (My favorite song from that album, Karnivool in general and pretty much at all; "New Day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtpIS2pQ-6w)")One of my recent obsessions.

Yuck, that cover reminded me of Bullet for my Valentine's Temper Temper. (Bad thing)
I can tell that you aren't terribly familiar with Antaeus as a band.
However, you did actually make me laugh.
Fair enough.I can tell that you aren't terribly familiar with Antaeus as a band.
However, you did actually make me laugh.
I am not, and I was only referring to the imagery of the cover, nothing more x)
So what was that song about anyway? Loss? Weed? (Or was that just a coincedence with the Mary Jane thing?)
I'm trying out Massive Attack, specifcially Mezzanine and Blue Lines. Not sure how I feel, yet.
Massive Attack is pretty awesome IMO.. especially that Angel track and of course Teardrop (aka the House theme)Teardrop has always made me appropriately misty-eyed ever since I found out its origin story WRT Liz Fraser's lyrics/performance.
I ain't gonna hate on Macklemore but I'm gonna stab the next prick who plays Thrift Shop on the jukebox at my bar, I'm so over it
I'm a fan of a capella and this is one of my favorites.
Is that so? Boy do I have a treat for you. Wait for the end of the first chorus, shit's gonna really start to hit the fan and you'll have hairs standing on end in no time.
A good tune, but with lyrics that are flat out ridiculous with more than a moment's consideration.applies to many, many songs I imagine. But then I work for Whole Foods, so I spend a lot of time in supermarkets. Sometimes I'm in 3 before 8:00 a.m. :-\
"And so, Thomas came home after a heavy night's shunting".... :psyduck:
nothing. I have no music on my computer or itunes or a single cd mp3 or anything like that and when I listen to the radio it is the news or nothing at all.

JS Bach's "Die Kunst der Fuge"
JS Bach's "Die Kunst der Fuge"
Very nice. For a lot of those works, I actually prefer the older recordings (hence why most of Sibelius, Bach, Mahler, and Wagner is all on old (but in good condition) vinyl. I *did* once have a boxed set with all of Wagner's Ring Cycle on CD, but sadly, not any more.JS Bach's "Die Kunst der Fuge"
A coincidence! I bought that on CD just last week. An old recording (ADD) from late 70s IIRC. Sir Neville at the helm (or playing a fiddle?) of Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
So I'm sure as hell not going to upload one, out of fear that lightning will strike me down.1. Spoof MAC address
This song is so ubiquitous I genuinely can't imagine listening to it by choice, like 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' or 'Enter Sandman.'
Thanks to one of Nassault's Kerbal Space Program videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPNLY5bHtic), I have discovered London Grammar (http://soundcloud.com/londongrammar) and I can't get enough of them.
I was aware but never bothered to look it up.
Tonight it's Michael Nyman.
Tried some MBV Loveless. I mean, there's stuff I like about shoegaze, but I think you need a good song inside the textures.MBV never were on the top of my list of shoegaze bands for various reasons, was always more into Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, Lush, Curve, etc. Asobi Seksu is a second generation American group too. And sometimes a bit harder than the others ('cept maybe Curve).
Known this dude for a while but missed this album. Makes me wanna jump off a roof AND cuddle up with a cat and a book at the same time.
Morays are known for their skill at hiding in reefs. Usually, you don't see them until it's too late.
I was tempted to post that, myself.
my wife has already started playing CHRISTMAS music.For me that'd be grounds for divorce. I think stores shouldn't play Christmas music before December 15th, and that's only as a concession to the fact that Christmas is popular.

Nick Drake's album Bryter Layter. Not really terribly impressed, having heard only Pink Moon until now. I know Pink Moon is a stroke of perfect genius but please tell me he has other good stuff!
I'm starting to think he didn't have much artistic control over this album, "The Chime Of A City Clock" is such an overproduced mess that it doesn't even sound like the same Nick Drake

Supertramp Live '88
I found out today that it's a somewhat rare album. How about that.
London Philharmonic playing Pink Floyd. The title of the album is Symphonic Pink Floyd. The tunes are from Us And Them.Us and Them? I don't think I know that album. But I quit following them after A Tragic Lapse of Judgment or whatever that record was called.
The London Philharmonic had an album labeled Tragic Lapse Of Judment? Now I'm intrigued.The Pink Floyd album. I thought there was reference being made to a PF album called Us and Them.
I'm not doing well, OK? Do you get that?
I KNOW THAT.
Morituri said the tunes on the album he was listening to, which he gave as Symphonic Pink Floyd, were from the album Us and Them. Do you understand my confusion yet?Quote from: MC ChrisI'm not doing well, OK? Do you get that?
Sorry about that... yes, I know you were referring to Pink Floyd's "momentary lapse of reason," but I thought it would be interesting/amusing if there were some analogous thing from the London Philharmonic, and fumbling the title of the Pink Floyd work gave that hypothetical a plausible title,...Just so you know, I didn't "fumble" the title. A Tragic Lapse of Judgment is just what I call that hacked-out waste of vinyl. That was when I stopped following Floyd, particularly after watching them sleepwalk through the supporting tour.

Sometimes when doing busy work at my job, I'll listen to sea shanties. Here's a good short one. Randy Dandy-Oh by the Dreadnoughts.
Feeling nostaligic so I had a one two punch from listening to Korn's rendition of "Kidnap the Sandy Claws"
(Whatever happened to "Evanescence"???)
Evanescence had an album come out last year and were touring earlier this year. Maybe not in the mainstream conscious as much but still doing well.
It's a truly magnificent soundtrack. Shame it's so hard to own legally.I got the first one as a free pack-in when I bought the DVD box set many years ago. Apparently they can be bought on Amazon because my co-worker just ordered a couple of them this week.
Its too catchy :-DThe still image makes it look like a porn clip.

Watching the video did nothing to disabuse me of this notion. 😸
I love "Digital Love" by Daft Punk (favorite song by them!) and I also love "September" by Earth, Wind, and Fire. Someone did a lovely mashup of these songs
funny story, digital love was playing while we were at the cash register in walmart this past weekend and I started singing it...out loud...in public...
My wife was very confused and also enjoyed it.
You guys know what "easy listening" music was, right?
There used to be an "Easy listening hour" on a radio station near me every day at 6 PM. I remember it, but didn't really care a great deal. Still don't as it happens.
But I've been having "difficult listening hours" for a little while. And today's another one.
The second half of the 20th century saw significant innovation take place in the realm of avant-garde classical composition.
With composers such as John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Iannis Xenakis taking classical composition into realms that were previously unheard of, the foundations were laid for a tradition of experimental, exploratory and otherwise “difficult” musical forms to develop.
Difficult Listening takes in compositions from the legends of new music alongside works by lesser known composers and artists working in a range of styles that push the very barriers of sound creation and composition.
Including, but not limited to, styles such as modernism, early computer music, spectral music, noise, improvisation, drone and ambient music, Difficult Listening provides an important space for sounds that exist well outside of the realms of musical normality.
You can listen to live sets from the show on their Soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/difficultlistening).
[1] Warning: Boyd Rice, one of the artists on that one is a total prolapsed arseholeAn unfortunate condition of many a talented artist.
I'm really digging this new band that's got the number one album out over in the UK. There's this one song that just... well, wow. Nothing else like it nowadays.I heard that album last week as well. They ain't half bad. I think I've got a few of their albums lying around somewhere. And a couple of boxes. And a few DVDs. They seem to be quite prolific.
They sound like some kind of Rutles parody.
Icm not sure what exactly it is, but it strikes me as something akin to folkmusic (Scottish maybe?) done with electronic instrumentation.
It's an original composition to my knowledge. You'd have to ask the composer. His/their current channel is SYRSA.Icm not sure what exactly it is, but it strikes me as something akin to folkmusic (Scottish maybe?) done with electronic instrumentation.
It certainly follows the rhythms and patterns of Scots folk... don't recognise the tune though.
Just glad I was right about it following Scots folk conventions.
The half-joking aside, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a strangely good demonstration of cultural appropriation.

Been playing Pokemon Sword and Shield and I really like the soundtrack. The Gym battle one is great but I am really digging the Wild Area 2 music. I went Female in the game, which the fans dubbed Scottish Pokemon Lass, and when adventuring in the Wild Area these bagpipes in the song hit me and made it seemed so thematic!
My old flatmate referred me to Hiromi and her take of Pachelbel's canon:

She is obviously having so much fun, and the smile is contagious.
Started listening to Billie Eilish. Mostly because I heard the name enough times that I actually recognise it. I was like Captain America's "hey, I understood that reference" in how I was proud to be even vaguely aware of what people were talking about.Billie Eilish, you say?
After a few songs, I actually rather like the music! This is the first time when I like a currently popular artist - or even am more than vaguely AWARE of a popular artist - since about Lady Gaga.
I noticed today that one of the fugues in my Mozart collection has a rather peculiar title. : "Leck mich im Arsch" - Canon in B flat for 6 Voices
I believe that translates, more or less, as "Lick My Ass." And this is a vocal piece, so he had an entire choir singing it!
This makes me wonder mightily what the circumstances were under which Mozart wrote this, and who that message was intended for. Was it, as it would be in the modern era, an insult, or was this intended, in the outrageous-ranging-to-socially-clueless style Mozart was famous for, as a literal and heartfelt entreaty to an object of his affections?

Huhn.I've studied enough Japanese to know that "watashi no uso" means "MY lie" not "your lie".

Hildegard von Bingen was a Renaissance woman before the Renaissance. Born over 900 years ago, Hildegard spent most of her life cloistered at the Disibodenbeg monastery in the Rhinelands. In 1136, at the age of 38, she was appointed prioress and started writing music for her nuns to sing as part of the Divine Office. Disarmingly beautiful, these antiphons, responses, sequences and hymns are unlikely to have been heard outside of her convent during her lifetime. They were recorded in her collection of music and poetry, Symphonia Armonie Celestium Revelationum, along with her liturgical drama Ordo Virtutum on the subject of the struggle between 17 Virtues and the Devil over the destiny of the female soul.
I appreciate Talking Heads even more these days.Stop Making Sense is one of the all-time great concert films.

- Pentangle - Basket of Light - Worth it for Danny Thompson's bass playing alone.
- Deep Purple - Machine Head - I think it is going to be a real issue for me to take most of these 70s rock acts seriously, with their WOMANNNNNNNNNN type lyrics and wailing and shit. Great guitar wanking, though. This album has 'Highway Star' on it, too, which is simply an unstoppably great song.I like this version even better:

6:28 is a frantic version of Les Toreadors from the Bizet Carmen Suite no 1.Oof. I got that one way wrong.
I'm not going to say anything about this...
Brilliant track.And it's falling for the same reason as many others, too. Near constant war, an incredibly greedy aristocracy that refuses to pay its fair share or do its part, and a horribly corrupt government.
Thing about vinyl.... it's better than digital, once.

Thing about vinyl.... it's better than digital, once. Maybe twice or three times. Okay, being fair, modern turntables really run the needles very very light, and if you have good modern equipment maybe even a dozen times. But once, for sure.
If you buy a vinyl record, you've spent your money on those first few plays. If you fail to capture the first play in the highest-bitrate lossless audio codec you can, then what you're doing is paying the band tribute. You're making a small but extravagant sacrifice to show your loyalty, or making some kind of statement about the fleeting impermanence of all experiences, or something artistic like that.
But if you're like me, you want it (or a very close approximation to it) to listen to again and again. My first play is always a vinyl-to-digital conversion that results in files far too big for them to ever have sold on CD. Is the recording as good as the record's first play? No. Is it better than the record's tenth, or twelfth, or twentieth play? Yes. Is it better than the CD of the same album? Absolutely blowing-away better.
https://www.vox.com/2014/4/19/5626058/vinyls-great-but-its-not-better-than-cds
Anyway, why would you want the “ highest-bitrate lossless audio codec”?
Lossless is lossless. If you’re going with a lossless codec, wouldn’t you prefer a lower bit rate if anything? Smaller file. Still lossless.

I just listened to this. Now I wonder what Beethoven could have done with today's instruments. And what he would have done on a friggin' synthesizer.

I read that post of yours at 11PM. I remember getting a pack of smokes around one ... and discovering Dodie (ZOMG Monster (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ker-CI9a0fM) ...). It's 3:30 in the morning now.
Thanks, man. Thanks a bunch, Gyrre.

Not sure how to interpret the tone due to having an off day, so;
- If earnest, then; You're welcome (^-^)
- If sarcastic, then; Ja.... If I were to ever get abducted by aliens, they'd probably schlorp out my brain and turn it into a jukebox.
That's not really the "Tetyais" themse song.
'Banitsa' sounds tasty. Do you happen to have a recommended recipe?Sure! I have to get some sleep now, though. Final election results are out as of half an hour ago and I could do something else tomorrow, and get some sleep. We got 27 of 240 MPs. About as much as could be hoped for. That a third more than what I expected and the Nazis didn't even get into parliament.
So has someone whose name is Aspen done something noteworthy, heinous, glorious, stupid, and/or hilarious?I'll go with hilarious? It's actually a translation of a Bulgarian name referring to the same tree.
And some type B Tetris for piano
Discovered this recently and haven't been able to stop listening.The Bandcamp algorithms successfully made me buy my copy back in June :-)
Don't think there'd be a problem with it.
But if the name in particular is important to you, then you're probably referring to a real person.
And if a specific real person is identifiable from the lyrics of the song, and they're not a "public figure" of some kind, there could be repercussions. At least, in America there could.
