1. What was the last song you listened to? The Boxer, by Simon and Garfunkel 2. What was the last song / album you bought? The original sountrack from Final Fantasy VII 3. What is your favorite song? Dragostea Din Tei, as performed in Romanian by O-Zone. To be honest, to the critical ear, the song sucks; but it's addictive. 4. What is your favorite record album? Fresh Aire II by Mannheim Steamroller 5. What song do you think has the best music? To be completely honest, I've never thought about it. Ever. Offhand, I'd call up Going to Another Place by Mannheim Steamroller, but I really doubt it is the absolute best. 6. What song do you think has the best lyrics? I beleive it's called "Crayons Can Melt on us if You Care", by Relient K. 7. Who is your favorite composer? It's between Hans Zimmer and Nobuo Uematsu. 8. Who is your favorite lyricist? Rich Mullins. 9. Who is your favorite performing artist? Nightwish 10. Is there any song that has ever just hit you like a brick? What was it, and why? There are a handful here. My Immortal, by Evanescence; Sleeping Sun, by Nightwish; Yesterday, by the Beatles. I suppose I'm a sucker for ballads. 11. What is that one song that you just can't stand? Never found out who the artist is, but the song is "I Touch myself". I hate the music more than the lyrics. 12. What artist do you absolutely hate? Any group that does Christian praise music that did not exist before 1998. And The Fray. 13. If a group of SpiderWebbers got together to start a band, who would be in it, and what genre would they perform? I'm seeing just about everyone with percieved musical talent trying to get in. Knowing the diversity of musical experience among us, they'd likely start off with some form of orchestral rock. -------------------- The Silent Assassin recommends composer John Cage.

quote:Crayons Can Melt on Us For All I Care: I just Wasted Ten seconds of Your life. Awesome lyrics. ;) Also, how about 4:33 by John Cage? You can play that with almost any number of people. :P -------------------- "What direction, what direction now?" ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

Music. Ah, what a vast iceberg we have landed upon here. For all the music you may have heard or known in your life, there is myriad more that has never crossed your ears or even, perhaps your imagination. The very concept of what denotes "music" is a curious contrivance with surprisingly diverse range. Not only can I never come close to knowing a drop in the bucket of all the bands in existence, there are numerous entire genres of music I'll never know. One could spend lifetimes exploring... Some recent, random listening: Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, KMFDM, 16 Volt, Chemlab, Rob Zombie, Celldweller, Criss Angel, Korn, Garbage, Plastikman, Squaremeter, and a bunch of obscure experimental ambient/noise/surrealism/soundscape stuff from the UK and Europe like Monos, Alio Die, Asmus Tietchins, Thomas Köner, Lustmord, and Nurse With Wound. I own all this music. I have a, shall we say, rather large, collection. My number one hobby for many years was going to lengths to amass music I love. I also have a great fondness for most of the music of the Beatles. Early favorites forever ago: Larry Norman, Oingo Boingo, and also, yes: Tom Lehrer, thanks to Dr. Demento. How delightful to see Mr. Poisoning Pigeons mentioned not once, but twice, already. Favorite recent lyricists include Edward Ka-Spel of The Legendary Pink Dots, Jim Thirlwell (Clint Ruin) of Foetus: anyone who can belt out slightly twisted and clever lyrics like, "This isn't the melody that lingers on — it's the malady that malingers on," earns my most skewed admiration. I was hit by a brick when I first heard (and saw the video for) Skinny Puppy's "Dig It" in 1986. This set me spiralling on an industrial music obsession that continued for many years. Skinny Puppy was the first real concert I ever attended (not including Petra, a Christian rock band in the early 80's...really, that doesn't count, does it?) If I were a part of a SW band, I would contribute unspecificable noise and electronics, spoken/muttered/hissed/whispered lyrics of wry whimsy involving irony and wordplay. Music is a magical trip I really get off on. I don't need drugs. I get high with a little help from my (musical) friends. -S- -------------------- A4 Items • A4 Singleton • G4 Items • G4 Forging • G4 Infiltrator • N:R Items • The Lonely Celt • A5 Items • A5 Map Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |

Today, spurred on by the Killers cover of "Shadowplay," I actually tracked down some old Joy Division, and some Bauhaus for good measure (since the two are often mentioned in the same breath), and while I was at it, I listened to the New Order that had already ended up on my computer somehow. Damn, that is some good stuff. Joy Division in particular was great. It's funny, because it sounds like normal '80s New Wave/alternative, until you realize that it was released in the '70s, and everyone who sounded like that in the '80s was copying them. Suddenly bands that I hated and thought sounded awful, bands that seemed to be part of the New Wave thing but also seemed to be part of their own subculture that didn't make sense to me (and here I am thinking of Men Without Hats, among others), fit into the bigger musical picture as really bad imitations of Joy Division. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

1. What was the last song you listened to? I don't remember the last full song I listened to, but we stopped Chicken Little in the middle of ~"It's the end of the world as we know it."~ 2. What was the last song / album you bought? I think it was The Waiting's latest. 3. What is your favorite song? Uber difficult to discern... Different favorites for different genres... Pachabell's Cannon in D has been a favorite since I learned to play it. But I could listen to Petra's "Holy of Holies" forever. Then there's "Desert Rose", too, and "Cotton Eye Joe" can't forget him. Can I have two in country? Collin Raye: "That was a River" led me to buy all his albums whether I liked any of the songs on it or not. 4. What is your favorite record album? The Waiting: Blue Belly Sky 5. What song do you think has the best music? The music that first came to my head was Jesu, Joy of a Man's Desiring, but I love to listen to most anything with great harmony. 6. What song do you think has the best lyrics? Toughie... Blue Belly Sky is a top runner, but I think I enjoy Wierd Al more. How about Constipated? ~Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?~ 7. Who is your favorite composer? I highly admire John Williams for the soundtrack of Hook. 8. Who is your favorite lyricist? Wierd Al 9. Who is your favorite performing artist? Rebecca St.James 10. Is there any song that has ever just hit you like a brick? What was it, and why? My Saviour, My God by Aaron Shust I don't know why. Still to this day I don't notice the song till the chorus comes but then it's like, bam, gotta turn it up. I think it might be the passion of the chorus. Now if you're asking which song has been closest to getting me actually hit by a brick, well, that'd be Cotton Eye Joe. By the tenth time through, hubby's about had it. 11. What is that one song that you just can't stand? Um, Ice Ice Baby? 12. What artist do you absolutely hate? If they're bad enough that I don't ever listen to them I probably don't know their name. Michael Jackson rubs me the wrong way, but it's his personality, not his music. 13. If a group of SpiderWebbers got together to start a band, who would be in it, and what genre would they perform? Realistically or metaphorically? I suppose it depends on who's got the tallent. I can play viola and I hear Thralni's got a trombone. Other then that, it'd be just a bunch of name dropping based on current popularity, right? We'd make our own genre, of course. What with all the creative minds that hover here. -------------------- Forever Always on Past the End TrueSite for Blades - Blades Walkthroughs Pixle Profusion - BoE Graphics Archive Posts: 563 | Registered: Tuesday, July 27 2004 07:00 |

As a related question: What are your favorite crhistmas albums? I prefer Vuoden synkin juhla (Year's gloomiest holiday) by Viikate. It's perfect fit for Finnish winter days. Here is a sample of what the album sounds like. (Viattomien lasten päivä translates to "Day of innocent children") Just a little warning: Viikate is quaranteed to cause depression if you lack sense of black humor. Oh, and yes, I do hate modern christmas <3 -------------------- Life is a neverending carneval where everyone has multiple costumes. I just hope mine are pleasing to the eye.

quote:Bullet for my Valentine? I haven't listened to them that much, but the songs I do have don't really strike me as anything "heavy"... But then again, I'm comparing it to Trivium, as that's the sort of metal i usually listen to. For other, non-metal fans, Bullet for my Valentine may sound heavy. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Joy Division has got to be the most influential band to take a new direction -- or at any rate the most name-dropped -- since Kraftwerk. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central "Making poorly-sourced claims is not the same as determining something."
