spenno182 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 You only like it cos' you get such a massive boner over her though... true although the song didn't change my life, in fact how can a song change anyones life? good tune though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 true although the song didn't change my life, in fact how can a song change anyones life? good tune though When I first listened to Homogenic by Bjork, I realised all other music I had bought previously was shit in comparison. That was when I shelled off my naivety and got a real life music-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 true although the song didn't change my life, in fact how can a song change anyones life? good tune though CD travelling at high velocity, slicing limbs off. The song indirectly is responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Songs change people's lives all the time. Legend has it that Eric Clapton almost put down his guitar for life the first time he saw Hendrix play. Anyway, yeah. New favourite lyric from kanye West's 'Welcome To Heartbreak' My friend showed me pictures of his kids, but I could only show him pictures of my cribs Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The Killers new album Day and Age... Better than Hot Fuss... worse than Sam's Town... I reckon I like half of the album on initial listen, Hot Fuss I used to like more of it but when it comes down to it I only like half of that one too >> but Sam's Town I pretty much loved all of it and still do. Anyways in summary, their new album is good but if your gonna purchase it, I wouldn't expect it to be as good as Sam's Town, I didn't and I wasn't dissapointed. Oh and even though it's not counted as a proper album, more a collection of B sides and remixes, I still love Sawdust. ^^ **ninja-Edit** I love the boxart though... I personally still think Sams Town had nothing on Hot Fuss so if you're saying this isnt better than Hot Fuss then not sure i'll bother picking it up. I loved the Killers during Hot Fuss, seeing them live was immense at leeds festival after that album came out then after sams town they went all american show type crap and I just totally went off them. Glamourous Indie Rock n Roll indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 After 1 listen to Day and Age during which I remember nothing abotu any of the songs, I can safely say it's not as good as Hot Fuss. The fact Human is pretty shit should have given that away anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I've just rediscovered Blondie, via their Greatest Hits. I found it lying around the house, and decided to give it a listen remembering how I used to love them when I was younger. Plus the fact Diana Vicker's version of Call Me made me fall in love with the song all over again. I swear her version is up to that of the original. Her voice on the chorus, makes it that much more fantastic. Anyway, I'm digressing. Blondie are win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I swear her version is up to that of the original. Calm down. Blondie are win, though. Loads of great tracks...my favourite at the moment is Rapture, famous for featuring the first instance of rap in mainstream pop music, or something.

Slaggis Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Calm down. But, her voice just suits it perfectly even though it obviously shouldn't. Rapture is great, but I love "One Way Or Another" and "Sunday Girl". Her voice is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Realistically you can't compare Diana to Blondie. Diana will never be as good, from a general point of view, because she had to use X-Factor to get famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying on that one song, on the chorus, it suits her beyond perfectly. My ears have never had so many orgasms within the space of one song.

chairdriver Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 One of my favourite songs ever. I love how it builds up towards the end. With Cerys' voice, it's more than a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 My ears have never had so many orgasms within the space of one song. I've just realised the major difference between the two sides of the forum, music-taste wise; y'see, to me any fluid coming out of my ears when listening to music is usually a sign that it's bad. Wish I had something meaningful to say here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairdriver Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Dear lord someone please stop that cat from being strangled. To be fair to her, she is actually a really good singer. Technically much better than most people in the rock/pop business. I hate when people say "she sounds like a strangled cat!!", when realistically, I'd prefer to listen to an interesting voice.

Dog-amoto Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Got to say, I'm not loving Chinese Democracy at the moment, though there are one or two good tracks on there. 14 years in the making. It just sounds a little...overproduced for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when people say "she sounds like a strangled cat!!", when realistically, I'd prefer to listen to an interesting voice. Exactly, when she sings a song, she makes it sound totally different to how it originally sounded, and actually makes for an interesting listen rather than the usual "Lets belt out a song as much as we can" kind of voice. There were better examples I could of used, but I just love her voice on that paticular track. For the people that disliked it, look for her on youtube singing "Hallelujah" or "Man in the Mirror", then get back to me. -- I hate to say it. I mean, really hate myself for saying it, but Take That's "Patience" is actually a good song, unlike most of the other shite they throw at the public. -- I'm in love with this song.

dan-likes-trees Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm in love with this song. Anna Nalick - Breath (2AM) Such a great song. Really need to get myself some more of her stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That Anna Nalick song is quite good. I feel she could have done something more with the chorus, but then like Ronseal it does what it says on the tin and provides a space in the song where the title takes the fore-front and not only gives her a chance to 'breath' but also the listener. She's very good looking as well. Very easy on the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Newsflash aimed at Dan Dare, but also to anyone else interested; I bought 808's & Heartbreak by Kanye West. I love, and it loves back. What helps is my vocoder fetish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Electric Wizard - Dopethrone.

Glamourous Indie Rock n Roll indeed. It's just down to personal taste, I'm liking the album a lot more now, it's just that yes Hot Fuss was awesome when it came out but now relistening to it, I only truly love half the tracks, the style of Sam's Town just worked a lot better I thought... Anyway if you loved Hot Fuss and still love all of it, then chances are you will really like Day and Age so don't be put off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
