The Bard Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 There is nothing like FUCKING heavy syncopated rhythms and the guttural roar of guitars to get you pumped for a morning...American Romanticism lecture. Oh yes. I feel as if people don't understand maddening rage, structured and asbtracted in musical form well enough. Nyaaaaaa. Sorry, it's morning. Morning rage.
Mundi Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 There is nothing that can wake you up like sounds of someone screaming in your ear, fuck coffee. Been listening trough the discography of 3 Inches Of Blood, good stuff. Will definetly listen to them regularly. Need to get back into the metal scene, been having a bit off a fall out from it the past few months.
Coolness Bears Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 You can listen to Laura Marling's new album on the times online. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article7058679.ece
chairdriver Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 You can listen to Laura Marling's new album on the times online. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article7058679.ece Wow, this is properly good. On first listen I'm already captivated by the first three tracks. She just has a maturity beyond her years.
chairdriver Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I defy until I clutch the CD in my clammy clasps. I bought the single off iTunes, so calm down.
Paj! Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 It got a good review from Q. They also reviewed the live gig (Miike Snow and I Blame CoCo) Alex Gardner supported. Said he was good, but lacked a killer single. *shrugs* Feels strange, the fame, the fame, doing it for the.
Coolness Bears Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Wow, this is properly good. On first listen I'm already captivated by the first three tracks. She just has a maturity beyond her years. I'm impressed. I was listening to it this afternoon so got about 3-4 plays done! I shall be buying it off iTunes when it comes out. Since I got a iTunes voucher! I have about £7 left on it having bought Gorillaz Plastic Beach. Oh yeah, BIG NEWS! :p I bought a new iPod Nano. It's pink and awesome!!! It came with a £15 iTunes card. My dad helped pay for it which was extremely kind of him. I didn't realise how much I actually use it before I lost it! It feels like a part of me has been re-attached. I'm happy.
Paj! Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I wrote a really long and meandering thing about how Baby Birch by Joanna Newsom is one of the most emotive and brilliant pieces of song-writing I've ever heard. But I didn't post it.

But I didn't post it. That's a shame... it would have got read and appreciated by a good few people on here I'm sure, like 'Field of Dreams' in forum form... 'If you post it, they will come...'
chairdriver Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I wrote a really long and meandering thing about how Baby Birch by Joanna Newsom is one of the most emotive and brilliant pieces of song-writing I've ever heard. But I didn't post it. The last verse critically hits. I saw a rabbit, as slick as a knife, and as pale as a candlestick, and I had thought it'd be harder to do, but I caught her, and skinned her quick: held her there, kicking and mewling, upended, unspooling, unsung and blue; told her "wherever you go, little runaway bunny, I will find you." And then she ran, as they're liable to do. Be at peace baby, and begone. ----- Crying.
Paj! Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Adds. Just the end when the 2 are great together. The guy is a bit annoying, but you deal.
Pancake Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I've been listening to Shakespear's Sister recently, after hearing a song by them that was really good, and realising they weren't just a one hit wonder from the 90's. Also been listening to The XX. This song is sublime (after at least 3 listens): Edited March 17, 2010 by Pancake
Roostophe Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 We've had a bit of nice weather here in the past week or so, plus we all know that spring is on its way. I feel this song perfectly illustrates the current weather and as we enter spring: Audio
ipaul Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 New video from Hot Chip Genius. Directed by Peter Serafinowicz for those who like him (Rez)
chairdriver Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 New video from Hot Chip Genius. Directed by Peter Serafinowicz for those who like him (Rez) You can kinda tell its directed by a shite comedian. I quite like the song though. ----- http://www.davidbyrne.com/here_lies_love/video.php The video to the first single from David Byrne's Here Lies Love. <3 Santigold <3
Paj! Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I'm actually quite indifferent to Santigold's song on Here Lies Love. It might make more sense in context of the album when that finally comes out, but it just come across as a bit formless and meandering.
chairdriver Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I really like it. As in, I've listened about 12 times, and still loving. I just love her as an artist; I can't put my finger on why, apart from the fact all her songs are really well written.
Paj! Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 It just really doesn't move me in any way. I kinda hate the actual music, it's like a cycle of taking-you-nowhere-but-isnt-stunning-enough-not-to. And I don't find her vocals affectations enough to make it interesting. I much prefer her own songs.
Ashley Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah I watched that [Hot Chip] in the library earlier. Felt a bit weird/awkward because while I know it was parodying boybands the dumb rugby players next to me wouldn't. Then...the end.
Paj! Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Thats what I thought too. It needed to be sillier, or include the actual band to show that it's a parody if it wanted to come across correctly to the masses.
Ashley Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 To be fair I don't think its a video designed for the masses anyway. It will only really be shown on MTV 2 and anyone who doesn't flick over is someone who will know that's not the band. Besides, they're in it toward the end.
Razz Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Goldfrapp - Dreaming. From the new album Head First. Audio Nom.
Paj! Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Robyn's new song "Fembots" streaming on her site. I like it.
S.C.G Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Yessaid. It truly is a brilliant album indeed, well deserving of 'classic' status... I've just listened to it once again and I actually feel for the first time the whole album actually 'clicked' with me... I've always loved it but I never felt like I truly 'got' it until today, but now that I do its become that much more to me.
