RYE'S MUSIC LINK!
I thought it was :bou::bou::bou::bou: because classical music isn't my thing. It wasn't bad, Rye, it's just me. Besides a duh BLAH BLAH BLAH type of super string thing towards the end of 3:00 and beginning of 4:00 that didn't last long I wasn't into it. I KNOW, I AM UNCULTURED.
I need harsh pop beats that drive the listener insane:
YouTube - Patrick Wolf - A Boy Like Me
Oy. I didn't like the beat but I really didn't like his voice. :( I found it irritating after a while.
It makes me judge you as a person Noctiluca. I'll never be able to look at you the same. :(
YouTube - Mobile: "Hit The Floor #7" (Music Video)
k i want to listen to yar's song so i'm going to filler this :bou::bou::bou::bou: and post my own video then edit my opinion in after
Okay, I listened to it and it was pretty forgettable and generic. There wasn't anything really catchy about it or anything to really be desired. Sorry Yar :(
YouTube - Pain of Salvation - Dea Pecuniae
That song sounds like the villains theme in a musical or something,lol.
I liked hearing it without the video, the guy was too ridiculous for me. Sorrryy ;[
YouTube - interpol-obstacle 1
I actually kinda like it. Kinda reminds me of a young David Bowie meets Oasis. It takes a bit to adjust to his voice but the music was pretty good and the video was certainly interesting.
I'll break the mold cause I listened to everyone else's stuff and must say only Rye and Bunny actually came up with stuff that was towards my taste in music.
Here's a little love from WK :cool:
OOC: I refuse to click any link in this thread in fear of being Rick Roll'd, and Im not enough of an ass to rickroll the person after me
I didn't love it, but I didn't dislike it either. The singer has a nice voice, and the song has a neat enough climax at the end, though. Just something about it that didn't fully click with me I guess.
Here's my link:
Bat For Lashes - Daniel
That was actually really good. I enjoyed it a lot. I'll look up more stuff by this band now.
This has been my obsession for the past 24 hours.
Both the music and the video in that song are unique. I liked it, even though that music genre isn't very much my cup of tea. The singer's hair in it is awesome.
Sahara - Armin Van Buuren
You can feel the heat off that song. The reason I picked it is because most people on these boards wouldn't listen to this type of music, I'm guessing.
Sorry, I hated it. :D I guess it would be okay if you were clubbing or something, but apart from that I wouldn't bother.
Sweet disposition.
^ Unlike most people I didn't come across this one because of the advert or big brother.
I ended up quite liking that. The music was good and once I got used to his voice I was pretty into it.
Dengue Fever fgj
I've always quite liked Dengue Fever. It's a very interesting mix of a traditional South East Asian style of singing and Western indie-rock. I actually had a chance of seeing them live a couple of years ago at the Roskilde Festival, but didn't since another band was playing in the same time slot on another stage.
I hope I'll have the chance to see them again.
Fever Ray - When I Grow Up
It's quite good. It's just a bit too homophonic and non-progressive for my liking, but I liked the vocals.
YouTube - Nur ein Wort - Wir sind Helden (English subtitles)
(make sure to read the description to understand all the wordplay)
Thanks for sharing with us its very nice dude,,,,,
I liked Nur ein Wort, the chorus was a bit repetitive but the melody was simple and catchy. Plus for the Subterranean Homesick Blues-themed video. ;] I would have liked to hear it in better quality, but it's no big deal.
Hearing a german song reminded me of Peter Fox's Alles Neu which I think is pretty cool, so that's my song for the next poster. Pick between HQ audio or the official video (both should be checked out, but that's up to the listener ;)).
Gyahahahaha. I feel like I'm in some European club. I actually didn't mind this, it makes me want to get really drunk (is this bad?). Although I don't know if it would make it into a regular playlist. He sort of reminds me of Basshunter for some reason > _ >Quote:

Geto Boys - Mind playin' tricks on me
Check out the fan made video. :D
The video was thoroughly amusing and the song I feel is something I'd play in the background while I do other stuff, or going for a late night drive kind of thing. Thanks :]
YouTube - Of Montreal - Wraith Pined to the Mist
That... was pretty smurfing awesome. The video was a like a minimalist take on Happy Tree Friends and the song was pretty catchy with its awesome bass line.
This is a classic for me. :cool:
I didn't like that very much. It was difficult to even concentrate on it, I found it so bland. Sorry! :p
Have some Tiger Army!
The spirit of Roy Orbison as channelled by Morissey. Groovy, but not the sort of thing I'd have on my playlist normally.
To the window the watcher came...
I like it, didn't really get me though. I'd probably add it to my iTunes library, but whether or not I'd get bored and delete it I would have to see. :D Final verdict is that it's okay. I like the band's other songs.
YouTube - frank turner Thatcher smurfed The Kids
I actually really liked it. I'm not used to such political songs so it was refreshingly interesting and nice to hear a British singer.
YouTube - 1 2 3 4 °°in sane°° [°girl°anachronism°]
(Girl Anachronism by The Dresden Dolls)
i love how obnoxious the dresden dolls are. make me think of ima robot and a calmer blood brothers. good choice. here is what i have been super into as of late. the video rocks too.
YouTube - Calabrese - "Voices Of The Dead"
Sorry, but that wasn't my thing at all. I guess it had a somewhat catchy chorus, but overall it just wasn't for me... and how many times during that video did that girl scream anyway? I liked the old horror movie/Ed Wood references, though.
Here's a link:
Beirut - Elephant Gun
It was alright. It kind of bored me, though. I don't think I like Beirut too much. I tried to listen to them before after lfm recommended them to me but I just can't get into them.
YouTube - Man Man Spider Cider
Try this one on!
I LOVE the style of the music being played! It's like, I could chill to that and dance at the same time. Not huge fan of the vocal style though.
YouTube - 猫又Master+ - INFINITE CAVE *noms*
I liked the music. If I was a fan of fast drum beats, I would totally love this song, but unfortunately I'm not, but that's not to say I hate it, which I don't.
YouTube - Dragonforce - Fury of the Storm
Everybody knows that Dragonforce are badass.
Santogold - Creator
Weird and boring. I seriously dislike that genre of music. I felt myself falling asleep. So to counter-act this lame nonsense...
...GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!
After the initial humour of Arnie wears off, turns into a very poor song, sort of generic Killswitch Engage style faux-metal that 13 year old kiddies listen to on Kerrang! because they think it's HARDCORE!!1 and anything actually metal scares them.
this one is definitely going to be a case of love or hate
hahahahah love who could not?
:bigsmile:
I think you missed the joke.Quote:

Although going from the fact that apparently the song is done by some singer from a crappy metalcore band I am guessing it's just shiet because it is what it is.
It's something of an inside joke. The lead singer basically writes the songs in about five minutes using nothing but hardcore metal cliches. So if it sounds bad, it's because it's meant to be that way, thus coming about on itself to become awesome in a naff kind of way.Quote:

Anything from old school shiet from Maiden and Priest to all the crazy norwegian :bou::bou::bou::bou: made in sheds really. I just don't get down for all this kerrang metal-lite that has popped up over the last 10 years or so. I don't really know where to put my finger on it, maybe it's just down to the production or whatever, but it just doesn't sound right. Like I can hear the elements of metal in it, but it ain't heavy. It ain't hard, it ain't metal. Like I said I'm not really sure what it is I don't know enough about the intricacies of music production for all that :bou::bou::bou::bou:.
I mean I never used to be this way, it would be the case back in the day I'd listen to something like Nile and feel like my ears were being assaulted by ghetto noise of death. But just after a gradual progression of being introduced to the more extreme varieties of it nowadays stuff like Metalcore just seems completely devoid of soul and feeling or anything heavy.
anyway kind of going off topic, should dredge up or start another metal thread if we wanna go on about it really. someone needs to listen to scrumpleberrys disturbing ass song
you'd better watch it too for the full effect :bigsmile:
How's about this then?
And I agree, a lot of modern metal doesn't really excite me either. ADM is probably the exception since I love AHHNALD with a passion.
Always liked Pantera, as well as Anselmo's other works like Down. Although I must say, Vinnie Paul's new band Hellyeah doesn't appeal to me at all.
Soo, have fun listening to all of this one :). Be thankful I didn't post Octavarium.
YouTube - Dream Theater "Learning To Live"
>:C
God damn you lol.Quote:

I also like the acoustic break in the middle of the song and the solos. The keyboard solo was a little unexpected lol.
Basically: Its a very well paced and sequenced song and the rest is a matter of taste I guess. Personally, I quite like it but its not my favourite.
Now here is my song. Its a very very chilled out and soothing drum and bass song (the sub genre is Liquid DnB) that I found while browsing through Liquicity's channel (one of my favourite music channels!!).
You need to turn up the volume for this one to hear all the subtle ambiances.
YouTube - Madmen & Poets vs Soulgrifter & Ill-esha - Save Me
I actually find the drums and base to be annoying in this song. I know drums get to be repetitive in the majority of songs, but typically the drums tend to be more of an awesome spice to a song then the basis of it, where as here the drums act as the predominant instrement, and while that can work, it's highly repetitive and uninteresting.
I'll give credit to good vocals, but the lyrics feel uninspired, so the good vocals aren't really put to very good use.
Now, I give you an artist from a Genre I normally hate. Rap.
YouTube - Blu & Exile - "So(ul)Amazing"
No one noticed that poor scrumpleberry got skipped! :mad2:
So, I'll do both hers and NeoCracker's.
NeoCracker:
I thought it was nice and chillaxing. Although it reminds me of a lot of other rap/r&b/hip hop music out there, I still enjoyed it.
Scrumpleberry:
I thought that both the video and the song was very charming and adorable. The dad rubbing the spider's leg and the whole "Do you know the proper name?" ... "ARACHNID!" was hilarious xD
In other words, I dig it! :bigsmile:
Devendra Banhart - Carmensita
@Breine: Very catchy. Cant comment on the lyrics though lol. The video is also pretty funky. BTW, that guy looks like Russel Brand rofl.
Anyway, I was thinking hard about which song to post that would have the most chance of avoiding getting taken apart like nearly every song on here lol, but ultimately just decided to post something I like.
YouTube - Led Zeppelin- Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Haha, this is a song I can review, because "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" is a folk revival song. It's a radically different interpretation of the song than the one I'm most familiar with (Joan Baez's rendition). The lyrics not being typically folk, besides the inevitable inclusion of the lovely verb "ramble," lends itself well to assorted genres. I'm not really a rock fan, but it's a very listenable song, though I think it runs on the long side.
I will post one of my new obsessions, Ellis Paul.
YouTube - Ellis Paul - Take All the Sky You Need
It's very natural :D! Most likely because it's live... quite a relaxed sound to it :]]!
This is a very awesome VOCALOID song.
YouTube - Megurine Luka - Just Be Friends - VOCALOID with PV
Yeah I liked, maybe doesn't need to be 5 mins long, but very catchy, the Video was cool as well
YouTube - Bright Eyes - "First Day of My Life"
A very sweet song and I especially like the video! I just love those kind of videos!
Now, Im going to try another DnB tune, which will probably get ripped apart again hehe
Although, coincidentally, I found someone made a FFX AMV out of it
Theres not a lot of variation in it but I just love the sound of it, so please be gentle :)
YouTube - Final Fantasy-The Coma
You know, I actually enjoyed that alot. A very pleasant twist to a FF song. :)
Big Love (LP Version) - Pete Heller
I'd rank this up there with my favorite all-time songs. Just listen to the first five minutes, it's complete bliss. The greatest house song of all time. Tell me below poster, what do you think?
I haven't listened to house in a long time. I listened to the first 5 minutes and it's a alright song depending on your mood. Maybe could bump this in the car just cruising down the street.
YouTube - The Fountain (with music by VNV Nation - Endless Skies)
VNV Nation are great. They remind me of being in highschool though, when I used to listen to them and Apoptygma Berzerk and all that sort of stuff. Not particularly a fan of Endless Skies, though.
turn me well by micachu and the shapes.
I like this song- it is different. I'm kinda am a tired soul...
YouTube - Reverie - Claude Debussy
