South - Here On In
(Dec 09, 2002 - 12:22) | For some reason this song reminds me of playing Diablo.
I think it's the bass line.

It's quite ironic, but I am always in the mood to hear lonely, wailing, morose ballads. I just love to wallow in the melancholy that these types of tracks exude. It's kind of a luxurious bath of sorrow that being an optimist, I don't normally indulge.

I had a very simuliar reaction. I was picturing an eldery black gentleman, who time had worn lines on his face but whose eyes still held a light of wimsy. I am not disappointed with the image I found however. ;)

This group, as someone else has said around here, is an overrated novelty act whose joke wore thin around five years ago.
Yeah, their new album Maroon is full of these "novelty" songs. Take Helicopters for example, I think the joke about how Americans like to bomb the hell out a country and then just forget about it is wearing thin. Bosnia certainly has no parallels to what is currently going on in American foreign policy.

Jeb Loy Nichols - As The Rain
(Oct 21, 2002 - 04:26) | I don't think that I really liked this song the frist time I heard it since I rated it a 4, but now I think I have to rate it a lot higher than that.
It's not a 10, but I certainly like it. Maybe I am getting over my phobia to country thanks to Dana Lyons. :D
Not that I consider this country... because it definatly isn't. But I think the twang but me off the frist time I heard this.

I have to agree, I love the album and I even love the song, even though I think it's been so overplayed that I don't want to hear for quite some time.

Gotta give him credit for pulling that off. I'll always regret not jumping on a plane for Berlin at that moment in world history.
I do as well. I was a bit young at the time and my mom asked me if I wanted to go. Instead of jumping up and down screaming "YES! YES! YES!" which is how I felt. The first words out of my mouth were "How are we going to get passports on such short notice?". It pretty much killed the rest of the discussion on the matter. I sure if I would have not been such a practical person and just screamed yes, my mother would have found a way for me to be in Berlin.

Hrmmm.... I really like Flamanco and this song has a really good feel and energy to it. I am disappointed to hear that they don't carry this style through out the rest of their work. I was excited because I thought I might have found another good flamanco group.

Incubus's other stuff is over played, and I don't think this sounds like any of there other stuff. I didn't want to like it at frist because it was Incubus. But I am coming around to it, and I like it. Though I suspect that the "asian feel" it has to the music is just a cheesy Americanized ideal of what "asian music" should sound like.

Natacha Atlas - Amulet
(Aug 20, 2002 - 09:31) | I actually REALLY like this.
It gets me dancing and moving and makes me feel happy.
I bet though if this song was in English it would get better marks.

For your information this group is a couple of Australians who live in England currently. Does that mean we should start bombing London?
Or Australia, Afghanistan they both start with A's I guess they are the same, who the f*ck cares, bomb them all.

It gets kind of old to be told that we should worship this music gods. I understand that they were cutting edge, pioneering musicians in their time, but come on. You can't expect people to start drooling everytime they come on, thirty years later.
That said, I do like the music. It is just very overplayed.
Would you prefer the William Shatner verison instead?

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now
(Jul 17, 2002 - 08:56) | I know that I have put this song on repeat many a Friday and Saturday night. Then I typically would dress all in black and go dance to this one in a club somewhere. Where everyone else was dressed in black and depressed about being unloved and being social outcasts. The one thing I always found ironic is that this club was always the most cliqueish. I never understood why we treated each other so horribly if we were all there because society treated us horribly.
I guess it's easier to cause another human being pain while you are in pain yourself, then to reach out and share and understand that pain with each other.

David Bowie - Slow Burn

Cake - I Will Survive
(Jul 09, 2002 - 11:35) | Man, this is awesome. I think what I like the most about this verison is that you can actually hear the lyrics.
I am totally grooving off of this. Wheeee!

Cake - Long Line Of Cars
(Jul 08, 2002 - 13:45) | I was driving through a mountainous region of Pennsylvania
and I was driving slower than the locals on this rural highway. So there was a long line of cars behind me.
I couldn't get this song out of my head! :D

Moby - Signs Of Love

Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly

I would have to disagree strongly. I think some of the most powerful meaning and concepts were in The Wall and The Final Cut. Wish You Were Here was at one time my favorite album as a whole by Floyd, but I think I have begun to lean more towards The Final Cut. Musically I don't think The Final Cut is as captivating as Shine on You Crazy Diamond or Wish You Were Here, but the whole message and theme cuts into me more deeply. Maybe it is because I have become more politically minded in the past decades?

Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly
(Jun 25, 2002 - 12:24) | Though I totally want to be a pro-Waters groupie.. I do have to admit that this is the song that got me interested in Floyd in the frist place. And then I started buying and listening to their other stuff. With little effort I saw how much of a sell out Gilmour was... Even though I really liked his song Fat Ol' Sun.
Found myself signing it the other day in fact. But anyways, I really think that Pink Floyd's sound was defined by Waters lyrics and Gilmours gituar playing. With Waters and Gilmour trading off on vocals.
So yes this verison is lifeless, yes it isn't the best song ever by Floyd, but I have to give it credit for opening up a whole new world for me. Where Pink Floyd became by favorite band.
btw.... I have never once listened to Division Bell... Maybe I should give it a try. Or perhaps I have other things better to do. :D

That is excatly why when it came on I KNEW it was Floyd but it was a song I didn't recognize. Then I remembered that this is the one floyd album I had only on vinyl so I never over played it in my youth like I did everything else by Floyd. So I think I need to go out and buy the cd myself.

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond
(Jun 19, 2002 - 09:03) | In highschool I would put this on the record player and do deep relaxation exercises to this while I comtemplated my future.
Maybe I need to do this again. :D
Though my phonograph is long gone.

Gipsy Kings - Ternuras
(Jun 19, 2002 - 08:46) | My boyfriend introduced me to this group by trying to take me to one of thier concerts. When I asked who the Gipsy Kings where he said "Only the best band on Earth." I wouldn't quite say that, because I don't really make those kind of judgements. But they are still pretty awesome. :D

I bought this cd when Gepetto came out. I don't like to buy cd's where I have only heard one song, because the whole cd might suck. I was afriad that was going to happen but I bought the cd anyways. I was surprised when I really liked the whole thing. I thought that I was one of the few who liked it because I wasn't hearing anymore of them on the radio. So I once tried playing it for a boyfriend of mine because I thought it would annoy him. To my surprise he liked it too. :D

Pink Floyd - Cirrus Minor

My like of Moby has nothing to do with hype. Since I am about as out of touch with the media as you can be in America.
It might have much more to do with my total lack of taste. Since I am "The Shunter".

I wouldn't call them lyrics, but I wouldn't diminish the work as a whole just because they aren't lyrics in the more traditional sense.

John Mayer - Back To You
(Jun 03, 2002 - 17:59) | I was in a local bookstore after this guy had given a small concert. The problem was he was in the section that I needed to browse. While he was busy signing autographs, I tried to access that section of the store. I was then accused of trying to sneak in too close to him by the "back stage" staff. They couldn't believe that I had no idea who this guy was and that I just wanted a book. So while I continued to peruse the section for my title of interest. I was glared at every suspicion.
:D
