Seen Live

2009年 12月 4日, 16:20 作者：shawny

The first three are mildly embarrassing, but when you're twelve and living in the woods of Bumfuck, Wisconsin, you take what you can get. These are in approximate chronological order:

Goo Goo Dolls - meh - 97?
Counting Crows - meh - 99?
Blue Merle - 99
Foo Fighters - 00, 2x
Muse - 00, met Matt Bellamy!
Red Hot Chili Peppers - 00
Bad Religion - 04/05
The Vandals - 04, at Warped Tour
Pennywise - 05
Queens of the Stone Age - 06, in a casino, of all places. Fantastic show.
Social Distortion - 07, meh
People in Planes - 08, lovely, though I was one of maybe 6 people there
Bouncing Souls - 08, meh
Travis - 09, met Fran Healy and Andy Dunlop!

Dying to see someday:
Ash
Supergrass
Kaiser Chiefs
Muse - again, now that they're all theatrical
Travis - would like to see a full electric show!

Argh. I should really move to a city.

My 8 Favourite Songs of All Time

2009年 11月 30日, 21:59 作者：Merlerser

Simply put - A list of my favourite songs of all time and why so. If anyone's interested, I compiled them all into a .zip folder that you can download at http://www *.mediafire .co m/ ?zlnwou mymmn (remove the spaces). (This download contains all the studio versions, some of which I couldn't find on youtube, except the Fiona Apple cover which has only been recorded live)

And so, on with the glorious music ...

Ray LaMontagne
“Jolene”
Trouble (2003)

Ray Lamontagne has one of those voices. It’s impossible for me to dislike anything he does. There’s something very honest about him. He is untouched, pure. He hasn’t been moulded into another one of those heartbroken crooners and it’s that raw magic that makes him so special. I knew for definite that I wanted to put him first on my list. It was originally a toss-up between this and “Burn” but I decided that this song reigned simply because it read as a beautiful story. It captures Ray’s life journey in a very real, poignant manner. That’s the beauty of it too - because it is so genuine, it’s easy to transcribe some facet of your life into some element of the song because at bottom, it's about having gone through some rough, confusing, and lonely times in life.

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream / Sold my coat when I hit Spokane / Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain / Lately my hands they don't feel like mine / My eyes been stung with dust and blind / Held you in my arms one time / Lost you just the same

------

Sam Cooke
“That’s Where It’s At”
Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 (2003)

I don’t know how much can be said about this song. It’s so wonderfully simple. Proof that love songs don’t have to be complicated or cringe-worthy. It reminds me of The Beatle’s “I Want To Hold Your Hand” in a sense, because it’s about a moment. Just one moment, whereas most bands write about sex and pain and the hardships of love… this song, it’s perfect, it’s easy, it’s effortless. No strings attached… I love you now, I don’t know what will happen tomorrow and I don’t care about what happened yesterday love.

Your world turned upside down / You're making not a sound / No one else around / That's where it's at, yeah / Let me tell you / Your heart beating fast / You're knowing that time will pass / But hoping that it lasts / That's where it's at

------

Coheed and Cambria
“Delirium Trigger”
The Second Stage Turbine Blade (2005)

This is very different from the previous two. There’s dispute as to whether this song was written as part of The Amory Wars (a series of science fiction comics written by Claudio Sanchez) or not. I’ve read that it’s about Coheed being injected with a virus and the panic following and I’ve also read more personal meanings behind it but I guess the whole reason I love it is because it builds up this great energy and in the last minute, it just explodes. It’s absolutely brilliant.

Oh dear God, I don't feel alive when you're cut short of misery / Will you pray it be the end? Give a look surprise wide eyed to me / Then you'll know just what I am / The scare that triggers your fear / Come know me in a different light, come know me as God

------

R.E.M.
“Daysleeper”
Up (1997)

I see this as a song about dehumanisation. It’s about someone who is tired of life, the over industrialisation and the loneliness of it all. Although it’s relatively upbeat, there’s a darkness (“headache grey”) to it. Strangely enough, it’s a song that makes me happy. There is a light music behind it and a big contrast. You could pick the lyrics out and create one of the saddest songs in the world. Perhaps the music conveys a sense of acceptance?

I see today with a newsprint fray / My night is colored headache grey / Don't wake me with so much / The ocean machine is set to 9 / I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine / My bed is pulling me / Gravity / Daysleeper

-------

Counting Crows
“Anna Begins”
August & Everything After (1993)

I once saw an acoustic version of this song on a list of the 100 Saddest Songs of All Time. I was confused because I had always thought it was incredibly romantic. Now I look back and I don’t think I was really listening to it because as beautifully romantic as it is, it’s very dark. There’s a gentle sadness behind Adam Duritz’s words. I remember watching their Across A Wire - Live From New York DVD and hearing him explain the feeling of emotional instability, avoiding the unavoidable… the inevitable end of a relationship. There is so much love in this song (“I should snap her up in a butterfly net pin her down on a photograph album”, “Every time she sneezes I believe it’s love”) but repetition of words like “can’t” and “not” leave a dim, somber tone behind Adam’s words.

The time when kindness falls like rain / It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind / And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and / Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing / She's talking in her sleep / It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn / And every word is nonsense but I understand

------

Fiona Apple (with Elvis Costello)
I Want You (live)
Decades Rock Live (2006)

A song about overwhelming lust… obsession even. It's both creepy and sexy. The reason I chose Fiona Apple’s cover over Elvis Costello’s is simple… I think she sings it better. I absolutely love the original but the way her voice shivers, the emotion, the way she almost wails certain lines… it’s intense. She expresses Costello’s lyrics in a way that creates the most incredible air of terminal and fatal passion. The amount of times I have watched and rewatched this video on you tube is almost embarrassing, but damn, it’s powerful.
I want you / It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for / It's the way your shoulders shake / And what they're shaking for / I want you / It's knowing that she knows you now / After only guessing / It's the thought of her undressing you / Or you undressing / I want you / She tossed some tatty compliment your way / I want you / And you were fool enough to love it / When she said "I want you"

------

mewithoutYou
“Gentlemen”
[A-->B] Life (2002)

This song is all about the build-ups and the break-downs... The bass and then the silence, the crashing cymbals and heavy guitar... It’s crazy and angry and eccentric. Weiss‘ yells are fantastic, but the most arresting and powerful moment is when all is quiet and he murmurs "you'd better be alone". Although he admittedly hates this song because it’s so full of hatred and resentment, it’s my favourite. It’s taunting and expressive and undeniably vicious.

We never met, you and I / We were always inside / We were somewhere inside one another / And I'll live without you, love / But what good is one glove without the other? / You only ask about my leaving / Well honey I had no choice / So I call and / (When you hear that heavy breathing) / For that sound of your voice

-----

Eddie Vedder
“Guaranteed”
Into the Wild (2007)

A song generally about freedom. This song embodies a man's struggle to go back to the simplest way of life. Going back to basics is knowing the freedom that we have in life. The fast paced guitar creates a sense of movement and progress and compliments Vedder’s calm but firm tone. “Guaranteed” is the outlook on life that Chris Mcandless had in when he ventured into the wild. In this case, the song and the movie go hand-in-hand. The great thing about it is that it also manages to touch on the one glitch in Chris' philosophy, the missing link he did not understand until, devastatingly, the end of his life: happiness is only real when shared.

Everyone I come across in cages they bought / they think of me and my wandering / but I'm never what they thought / got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts / I'm alive... / Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere / underneath my being is a road that disappeared / late at night I hear the trees / they're singing with the dead / overhead...

Top 30 Artists Q&A

2009年 11月 15日, 12:50 作者：Zidered

Haven't done one of these for aaggggeees. I believe they were invented for 4am amid ill-timed caffeine imbibing?

1. How did you get into 29?
Animal Collective - 'Fireworks' was given away on some free comp CD, I believe. Then they cemented that with a sensory overload at ATP May 2008. I swear it wasn't because P4K threatened me at gunpoint.....SWEAR!

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
The Suicide File - It was live and I didn't know them then, so I forget. Bought the CD there, though, so it'd be the first (and title) track on 'Twilight'.

3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
The Raconteurs - 2, debut physically and sophomore digitally (legal, honest RIAA).

4. What is your favorite song by 15?
36 Crazyfists - 'Kenai' always does it for me.

5. What is your favorite song by 5?
TV on the Radio - More about the albums as a whole with these guys for me, but 'Blues From Down Here' certainly is a jam.

6. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Mastodon - Oh my yes, there are many but just past the 4 minute mark of 'The Czar' they break from slow and meditative into the most heroic riffing. Always perks me up.

7. What is your favorite song by 10?
Aereogramme (R.I.P.) - 'Barriers' ("Let me tell the truth/Let me come alive/Let me build bridges into your life")

8. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Coheed & Cambria - Seeing Claudio play guitar with his teeth at the Agora in Cleveland sticks with me, for some reason.

9. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
Killswitch Engage - Their cover of 'Holy Diver' is particularly overblown and never fails to cause a grin.

10. How many times have you seen 25 live?
Isis - Just the once in Sheffield and it was utterly mind-blowing.

11. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
The Shins - 'Phantom Lib'. Took me many listens for the subtle loveliness to sink in, for some reason. Fool.

12. What is your favorite album by 11?
The Bronx - No. 2, inventively entitled The Bronx II, is probably the best.

13. Who is a favorite member of 1?
Tool - Can't really see past the enigma of Maynard James Keenan, despite the talent of the others.

14. Have you ever seen 14 live?
Frank Turner - Yes, many times. Had I not, my life would be all the poorer for missing him. GO SEE FRANK TURNER!

15. What is a good memory involving 27?
Counting Crows - They go waaay back in all kinds of memories. Plead the 5th or some such....

16. What is your favorite song by 16?
....And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - 'Mistakes & Regrets'

17. What is your favorite album by 18?
Soundgarden - 'Superunknown' is a classic. One of my faves full stop.

18. What is your favorite song by 21?
Enter Shikari - 'Solidarity' is frantic, energising, and quite wonderful. Try it on a Monday morning for extra zzzzzzzzzing.

19. What is the first song you ever heard by 26?
At the Drive-In - 'Cosmonaut' ......wow, SO influential. www.heavier-than-air.blogspot.com

20. What is your favorite album by 2?
Clutch - Choices, choices.....?! 'Elephant Riders' got me into them and I love it, but 'Blast Tyrant' is probably my preferred overall.

21. What is you favorite song by 3?
The Hold Steady - 'Massive Nights' suitably describes most evenings I've watched them.....woo-ohhhhh-ooo-OHHHH.

22. What is you favorite song by 8?
Okkervil River - 'Savannah Smiles' is beautiful.

23. How many times have you seen 17 live?
Deftones - 3, I believe.

24. What is the worst song by 12?
The Bronx - There are a few weak moments on III....non titles come to mind, though. Just buy I and II to be safe.

25. What was the first song you ever heard by 28?
Biffy Clyro - Probably 'Justboy' or '57' courtesy of http://www.last.fm/user/-jc- all those years ago at Uni.

26. What is you favorite album by 7?
Katatonia - I just thought about this as I re-listened this week. Having not heard the full new one, I'd plump for 'Last Fair Deal Gone Down'.

27. What is your favorite song by 24?
Nickel Creek - 'Somebody More Like You'

28. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy?
Against Me! - Has to be 'Pints of Guiness Make You Strong'. That one's always gonna get you drinking Irish tonight.

The National - 'Boxer'

30. How many albums do you own by 20?
Murder by Death - 2 physical, 1 digital. Don't know why it matters but there you go.
