The fish Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Right now I can't stop listening to Regina Spektor's "The Call". So beautiful it almost makes me cry. =) My god, that song is truly wonderful.
Gizmo Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 p.s. everyone listen to mewithoutYou again. I figured it wouldn't be a post by me in this thread if i didn't mention them. This a million times over.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 This be Dusted. Didos brother and Faithless member Rollo is one of the guys behind this.
Eenuh Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 My god, that song is truly wonderful. Mmm, yes it is! I almost posted the one with shots from Narnia: Prince Caspian (since this song is from that movie), but I figured not everyone would enjoy seeing the (sexy/cute) faces of some of the actors/actresses in it. =P
Calza Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 On a similar note, Battles offer a kind of intense, structurally surreal take on math/dance rock that really takes you over. It's not the easiest of material but it really, really gets inside your head and takes your mind to a very, very special place. I really can't wait to see Battles live, though I am wondering what the rest of the crowd are going to be like. 2 days left till T In The Park (well for me, we are going on the thursday) and its only now I've started to get pumped. Probably should post in the T thread...
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I also can't recommend LCD Soundsystem highly enough: Their Sound of Silver LP is a melancholy, wistful salute to culture and old friends since gone, beautifully strung together with some of the best ambient rock I've ever heard. Yes! All My Friends...what a song. I heard it in a bar once and just stopped what I was doing, which was breathing, and listened to it. Such a chooon.
Aimless Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Thought I might as well give something back, as it were, so this is 'To Build A Home' by The Cinematic Orchestra. It's the song that spawned the Loneliness thread. No, wait, come back! That isn't the official video, just the first one I came across whilst searching the 'Tube. Still, it's rather nice.
The fish Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 not really... Oh, whoops, I forgot again - in this thread, there is no opinion; only fact!
Slaggis Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Oh, whoops, I forgot again - in this thread, there is no opinion; only fact! Umm, and thats his opinion. He never said "I know for a fact it isn't" did he?
Eenuh Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Umm, and thats his opinion. He never said "I know for a fact it isn't" did he? Yeah, but there wasn't really a purpose to his post either actually. *shrugs* I like the song you posted Aimless. =)
Paj! Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 To be honest, The Call is Regina's absolute worst song ever. It just looks lyrics-wise like it was a rushed number she forgot she was paid to do, or at least wasn't inspired be. Also, I'd expect Disney wanted something that was "pretty", rather than using her powerful voice/intelligent writing. I heard it in the film (rubbish, btw), and after being intially excited that it was here, was very dissapointed. I'm listening to 11 : 11 in protest against it's crapness. (That said, the way she sings it is quite sad)
Ashley Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 There's a nice section at the end of my itunes of poorly tagged songs which are awesome: Sugar Hill Gang - Rapper's Delight The Temptations - Pappa Was a Rolling Stone Van Morisson - Brown Eyed Girl Classics. 24 minutes of awesome. And 'The Call' was alright. Still have a soft spot for 'Fidelity'. What film was it in?
Paj! Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 And 'The Call' was alright. Still have a soft spot for 'Fidelity'. What film was it in? Not sure which you're referring to, but The Call was in Narnia: Prince Crapian and Fidelity I think has been used in a few films/trailers. And I like that song, Aimless.
Ashley Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah sorry I was referring to 'The Call'. I wasn't too clear was I? Thanks
Paj! Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Fav song this week. Whose that by? (Generally helpful to include that, lol )
Dante Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Whose that by? (Generally helpful to include that, lol ) The Dykeenies and the song is Stitches.
Gizmo Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Since we're posting videos I think I'll help along Jayseven's post; mewithoutYou - Bullet to Binary mewithoutYou - Nice And Blue, Pt 2
Hem Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Aimless I would personally recommend to you: Maps - We Can Create M83 - Saturdays=Youth Feist - Monarch (Lay Down Your Jeweled Head) Chromatics - Night Drive Burial - Untrue Caribou - Andorra
Paj! Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Hmm..It might be the time, and the fact I can feel a major headache coming on, but mewithoutYou made me feel a liitle sick. I don't think I'm up for screaming atm!
Dan_Dare Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Oh, whoops, I forgot again - in this thread, there is no opinion; only fact! wow. relax, hombre. Umm, and thats his opinion. He never said "I know for a fact it isn't" did he? because he's right. Seriously though, Spektor's done much better. I think she's a great vocalist and song writer but that's just not a great example. oh, and for a truly beautiful song? observe
Dyson Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Jeeeesus christ, the new Bloc Party song is fucking atrocious.. http://www.blocparty.com/videos.php Urrrghhh.
Aimless Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Aimless I would personally recommend to you: I haven't so much as heard of any of them, so definitely worth looking into. Ta. oh, and for a truly beautiful song? observe I give you a different kind of beauty. (I was actually after another song, but it'll do.)
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Jeeeesus christ, the new Bloc Party song is fucking atrocious.. http://www.blocparty.com/videos.php Urrrghhh. It's an early case of "third album syndrome." Still.
