The Music Thread.

[Tom]

i really want to go to ATP, but i never quite manage it. A couple of years ago The Mars Volta were curators and it was pretty much the greatest festival line-up ever for me, loads of really obscure bands I love but won't get to see, like Jaga Jazzist.

 

This year Explosions in the Sky are playing, and again I cant go. Cruel cruel world!

[harribo]

the dears are better than the band you're listening to

 

Better than Muse? I think not boyo.

[darksnowman]

You keep telling it, m'lad.

 

Its good to see this place is in safe hands when I'm not here preaching.

[harribo]

Hmm since last January when I first started listening to Muse I have 3033 plays of Muse on Last FM plus however many times I listen to them on my ipod.

Sucks to be you huh?

[ThePigMarcher]

Damn , I have had Machine Head's 'The Blackening' for a week now and still can't stop playing the thing - absolutely incredible.

[Ashley]

Trying to compile a playlist for work. So far it consists of;

 

Quietdrive - Time After Time

Muse - Feeling Good

Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet

Big City Rock - Black Betty

 

So im going for awesome covers, but run out after four...

[Dan_Dare]

Hurt ala Johnny Cash always springs to mind, as does many ace covers by Ben Folds.

[Guest Stefkov]

I just got the songs from the opening and ending of Death Note. I dont really like hard rock or whatever they're classed under but they're pretty good.

Hurt is a bit too bleak for the shop floor. And the only covers I know of Ben Folds are Bitches Ain't Shit (which is great but NSFW) and Such Great Heights which is dire.

[Dan_Dare]

ahh, shop floor! thought you meant like on headphones etc.

 

ben folds does a mean Tiny Dancer

Muse - Can't Take My Eyes Off You is another awesome cover by them.

Other covers

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

Arctic Monkeys - Love Machine

Arctic Monkeys - Baby I'm Yours

The Futureheads - Hounds Of Love

The rules of playlists dictates no two songs by one artist can be used.

AAF is alright...

Dislike the Arctic Monkeys, and Love Machine is dire.

Futureheads ain't bad but ain't great either.

 

Thanks though.

[Guest Stefkov]

Last Night by The Strokes.

Who are you by The Who

They don't seem like cover songs to me.

[Guest Stefkov]

What are cover songs?

[harribo]

What are cover songs?

 

Songs that an artist sings that were originally sung by another artist.

[Guest Stefkov]

yeah I just remembered after thinking what a dumb question to ask.

Ah well forget that then.

[Ashley]

They don't seem like cover songs to me.

 

To be fair, stef said they were songs he thought were awesome, his post could have been coincidental. There are some good songs on there and I don't need to have just cover songs, but would be nice to themate this playlist.

[Goron_3]

i just downloaded 'Mmhmm' (the album) by Relient K.

 

It's refreshing to hear an album where i like all the tracks. Kinda strange considering I usually don't listen to that genre of music.

[Platty]

Ashley what about:

 

White Stripes - I just don't know what to do with myself

The Futurheads - Hounds of Love

 

I like both

[harribo]

The Futurheads - Hounds of Love

 

You stole my suggestion bitch.

[Platty]

You stole my suggestion bitch.

 

I do apologise. However I didnt even read your post. I just posted in reply to Ashley.

 

But if two of us think of it then surely the song deserves a place on the mix CD of covers.

Yes it does its a brilliant song.

[The fish]

I think it's arrogant to say that you can only understand music fully as a musician. Not being a musician doesn't make my opinion worth anything less. It seems a lame excuse to say "You don't like it because you don't understand." That's BS. Maybe I don't have the talent to play music, but that doesn't mean I can't understand what I hear. Those are in fact, two entirely different things.

 

My opinion exactly.

 

A good way of illustrating this is football. I am OK at playing football. However, if England play poorly, then I know it even though I am not actually a member of a national squad.

 

Some people are so stuck up their own arses.
