Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Every day, before classes, they play a song to tell us that we have until the song ends to get into class. They played Bohemian Rhapsody today. Cue half the class singing the entire thing, and continuing singing it word-for-word, at exactly the right speed, even when we couldn't actually hear the music. :D

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
I'm sure they would be, but, unfortunately, they don't really tour. As far as I can tell, they've only played live three times. Twice in New York and once in Connecticut. Who knows, though; perhaps the popularity of their upcoming album will coax them out of their hole.
Hmm, not sure "happier" is the appropriate word. I mean, there's nothing inherently happy about shoegaze. Less nihilistic maybe, but not happier.
And off-topic: might you happen to be an Ulver fan? There's just something telling me you are, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Well, it's been dubbed Blackgaze and it's picking up speed in trendiness. Guess I can't complain, since I'm a fan of the sound...
Anywho, the top two releases in the genre (and there's a fair number who I think would agree with me) are Alcest's "Écailles De Lune" and Lantlôs's ".neon".

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
I don't really see the blackgaze thing catching on. I don't even hear much shoegazy in any of that music. Sounds like a rock ballad and a screamo song respectively. Where is my wall of fuzz with layers of reverb?

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
I'm not that much of an Ulver fan these days; I used to be a big metal fan, but I've moved more into dance music, oddly enough.

Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker and Effed Up
Those two bands are my favourite bands ever.
And they're both local bands that I've been able to see live. YAAAYY

My friend, in his attempt to come up with good music that I haven't already heard, showed me Scroobius Pip, and now I'm hooked.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Heard a song on my local rock station the other day. Didn't catch the name of it, or who it was by. But I loved it. Both for the music and the subject matter.
And today, I have found it.
It's by Pop Evil, and it's called "In The Big House".

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
I've been listening too a lot of dubstep recently, after being introduced to the dance crew REM0TE K0NTR0L (who, by the way, are ****ING AWESOME). It's pretty cool.
Anyone able to give me some suggestions for more dubstep to listen too.i am going to make it through this year

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Thanks, kindablue.
Quick question for the thread: what's people's opinions on remixes and covers? At the moment one of my favourite songs is a remix of a cover of an Elton John song, which when put into words sounds really odd...
Blackmill's Dubstep Remix of Ellie Golding's Rendition of "Your Song".
Ellie Golding's Rendition of Elton John's "Your Song."
Elton John's Original.
Now, for me, I don't like the original as much as the other two. That said, each version has it's own good points.i am going to make it through this year

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Zed's Dead, Burial, Benga, and Mala.
Also, just for the sake of comparing the best and worst of the genre, here's the Skream remix of In for the Kill, by La Roux, and here's the Skrillex remix of the same. One of them is goddam awesome. The other makes me want to puncture my ears with rusty nails.Avatar by Kris on a Stick

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
how serendipitous...a few hours ago I was actually arguing the exact same sentiment regarding
jeff buckley's cover of Hallelujah
the one by Rufus Wainwright
and the original by Leonard Coen, which basically puts me to sleep as soon as I play the record
I'm in two minds with regards to Loverman..
I tend to prefer Metallica's version to the original by Nick Cave& The Bad Seeds ..but that might just be because I first heard the cover, and only later heard the original rendition.
other than these two songs and a handful more, I'm not a big fan of covers

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
My cousin went from thrash and metalcore (he listened to both for five years) to blues folk just last spring. Found it really weird, especially since he was so uninterested with non-metal music for a long time.
(I'm digging Iced Earth right now, espcially The Crucible of Man).

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
I love remixes and covers when they manage to find a completely different song inside of an already great one, like this:
David Bowie - "Bring Me The Disco King" (Original)
David Bowie - "Bring Me The Disco King" (Danny Lohner remix)
And, of course, the master:
Kutiman - "Someday"
Kutiman - "I'm New"
I used to really like them, but it's been years since I've heard one of their songs.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Covers are universally worse than the originals. There are two exceptions:
Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar
Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
That is all.
Although, Sirenia's version of First We Take Manhattan was pretty... unique.
Crucible of Man is... meh. Horror Show is and will always be their best album. But hey, at least Ripper Owens is gone.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
@SotS: If you went to an American public high school and you had to sit through a bunch of musically illiterate pill-poppers telling each other how "grimy" Skrillex is, day in and day out, you'd start minding.
With regards to covers, there are some excellent ones out there.
Queens of the Stone Age's cover of White Wedding by Billy Idol
Sleep's cover of Snowblind, by Sabbath
Fu Manchu's cover of Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult
Et cetera...Avatar by Kris on a Stick

Speaking of Skrillex, I saw this on MTV and thought it was just the worst thing.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Saying the originals are always the best when compared to covers is kind of silly.
A good example is Mad World. I personally prefer the original, but that puts me into the minority. The version used in Donnie Darko is WAY more popular.
I prefer Dylan's original version of All Along The Watchtower to Hendrix', and Michael Hedges' cover to both. Put together.i am going to make it through this year

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
My problem with Skrillex lies in things like this. It starts off with a decent dance song, if a bit generic, and it's obvious that he has an ear for melody.
THEN THE DROP WUBWUBWUBWUBWUB.
And then I'm done with the song because that is awful.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Oh, he absolutely has an ear for melody. I'd love to hear Skrillex sit down in front of an acoustic piano or something.
Also, apparently he chainsmokes while playing live. I maintain that, if you're DJing a genre with as much room for improvisation as dubstep and you have the free time to light up while preforming, you're not DJing hard enough.Avatar by Kris on a Stick

If you don't like female singers, you probably won't like this. It's a solid song, with strong music.We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Myself, I am definitely a metal guy. I do listen to various other 'genres' of music--classic rock, punk, jazz, blues--but mostly metal, from classic metal pioneers such as Judas Priest and Motörhead to the more extreme styles such as Death and Gallhammer.
