Big Star - In the Street

**Valigarmander** · 03-19-2010, 07:24 PM

Music from Final Fantasy V. Not sure what the title is.

It's the "somber scene" music. But not the "sad scene" music.

Pavement - In the Mouth a Desert

**Galefore** · 03-21-2010, 09:44 PM

I've decided that my posts in this topic shall be daily, and I shall be ripping off Riley Breckenridge's "Random Start" idea, where he starts his iPod at the beginning of every day, posts the song it starts on, and shamelessly talks about it and the band.

FIRST ONE:

Muse - Uprising

Click to view video.

Yes, this was genuinely the first song I got when I hit random. We all know of my love affair for Muse that dates back to 2006, and I often credit them for being the first genuinely talented group I ever got into. As you all know, I saw them perform this week, and they opened with this. It may not be the best song they've ever done, but it really ****ing destroys live. The general effect of the whole thing was mindblowing: their setup was fantastic, their segues were perfectly executed, and Bellamy is a ****ing madman. Again, I fully recommend going out to see this band some time if you're into them.

Gorillaz - All Alone

The hidden track at the end of M83's self-titled album.

I dislike hidden tracks in the digital age, because they end up throwing in 7 minutes of silence before the end of the last track and the hidden one. On the same track.

Random Start Number 2:

Miles Davis - Blue in Green

Click to view video.

Miles Davis' music is probably the world's most common gateway drug into jazz. Kind of Blue is consistently cited as jazz's hallmark record, and Davis its prime innovator. He certainly has inspired me as a musician in more than a few ways; his tireless desire to evolve and create (even if some say it was just to keep up with the times and get more money) is beautiful, but his taste and ear for musicians with which to play is what sets him apart. He never failed to find the best drummers in the business, and pretty much every support musician that ever played with him has made a name of their own outside of the Davis band. This track in particular has a noir feeling that relaxes me. The vibe of smokey black-and-white buildings and city sidewalks never fails to put me in the mood to lay back and enjoy what I have in front of me for a while, which is bizarre, but I certainly do not question it.

"Down, Down to Goblin Town" from the 1977 The Hobbit movie.

**Galefore** · 03-22-2010, 07:07 PM

The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

Happened upon this on the radio today, and remembered how much I liked Mellon Collie. Pretty good album, I dare say.

Augh, I hate that. I think Epica does that. I know somebody I like does...
Right now, I'm listening to "Sleeping Time" by Die Happy. I forgot how I discovered them, but I'm so glad I did. Here's a video of theirs, and what got me hooked. The song's called "Peaches".

All of my friends loved it when I showed it to them. I think I found this video while browsing the related videos on a Lordi video.

David Bazan - Hard to Be

Goddamn, what a song. Love this entire album. It may be one of my new favorites.

t3hDarkness · 03-22-2010, 11:37 PM

Johnny Cash - Time of the Preacher

Bomby · 03-23-2010, 12:28 AM

Aimee Mann - Red Vines

Funny, my sister used to play this album (Bachelor No. 2) around the house all the time when I was younger and I never really cared for it, but now I've been listening to it constantly.

It's a lot better than Siamese Dream overall even though Siamese is better with consistency of good songs. But with a double album usually a few songs tend to suck. If they trimmed it down so it was just the good stuff like "1979", "Tonight, Tonight", and "Thru The Eyes of Ruby" it would be a lot better

and i think the last thing i listened to was R.E.M. - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
