Artist Of The Day:Au Revoir Simone Chosen By: hennessy Tomorrows Choice:Shasown?

[hennessy]

...is a poem by Patrick Kavanagh (1904 - 1967)
The thread title if successful will be changed.
I like this forum and would like to chat about music but it's hard to sidestep the Girls Aloud, Lady Gaga, Cole, etc appreciation threads.
This is like another thread on here called..'best part, song of the day' or something like that but this is more focused to the other posters on here.
Like many youtube vids posted on here, many people will ignore them for the more mainstream ones, while other will watch and try to take away something from it.
This thread is for the more discerning posters to dissect and elaborate what makes it good and what if anything failed.
If I may I'll choose a song and for the sake of order, Enid (I hope) will post one tomorrow and she in turn will suggest another poster for the next day.
Any song from any genre.
A 'music' club if you like.
Any one can join as long as you're willing to listen to the song and construct a valid point.
Then again this might bomb

You're right. Most posters will probably skip this, but if anyone out there has an open mind, please contribute.

Anyway, Pantera - never really been too keen. Granted, I haven't listened to enough of their stuff, but from what I've heard, it hasn't piqued my interest too much. If you're willing to recommend a couple of albums, I'd happily give 'em a listen. May change my mind about 'em. Any metal that I usually listen to has to be the very aggressive stuff. Anal Cvnt, Decapitated, Nile. Stuff like that.

[setanta]

That particular sound isn't my cup of tea, but I can't find any fault in the playing of the song. Really tight band and the lead singers voice is quality -tender and aggressive. Worth listening to just for the solo and high pitched singing in the final third.

[Shaun]

Was definitely under the impression I wouldn't like Pantera. Hmm.

I rather like the riff in the chorus. It's overall pretty good...the music video is pretty cheesy though :p that is to say the black and white cemetery bits.

I love some of the names for An!l ***** songs and I'd suggest for Pantera Vulgar Display Of Power and Far Beyond Driven. Nice and heavy

[hennessy]

This is prob one of the softest songs from them.
The one most accessable.
They toured alot which made them sound tight.
and the reason the vid is crap is that most metal vid budgets get drunk

Check out 'Walk' for further listening

[Enid]

Haha yeah, a lot of metal band videos aren't complete without the cheese factor. This one isn't too bad but some of 'em are just atrocious. In a good way, of course. ;)

Edit - oh, and I'll give them albums a listen to, thanks. :)

[Mrluvaluva]

It didn't really appeal to me to be honest, and they are not a band that I would normally choose to listen to. I like songs with a meaning though, and with certain songs I like to look up the lyrics while I am listening to the song. And I suppose this track was to do with the loss of someone.

"And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain....
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain"


Maybe it might grow on me after a few plays, but I doubt it.

Good idea for a thread though. :thumbs:

[Twilight]

i'd like to join this, no one will suggest me has the next poster though:P
This song isn't my type of music, but i really like the riff, and its good:)

[hennessy]

Thanks
On second thoughts I should have picked a stronger track but oh well.
Can't wait to listen to other peoples choices and maybe find a new artist.
Please try 'Walk' which I think is a lot stronger
and Twilight doesn't stop you from commentating on any Vids

[Enid]

I'll probably post some "alternative" hip-hop or something tomorrow. I think hip-hop is incredibly underrated right now.

[hennessy]

I'll probably post some "alternative" hip-hop or something tomorrow. I think hip-hop is incredibly underrated right now.
For Hip Hop I like Kool Keith (dr. octagon), flobots, aesop rock, Cannibal Ox, Mos Def, El-P, eric b and rakim etc...

[Enid]

Mos Def. :lovedup: Getting into "The Bug" too.

I do like more mainstream stuff as well. Dizzee Rascal, Tech N9ne and M.I.A.

[King Gizzard]

Asher Roth

La Di Da is my favourite hip hop track right now

[hennessy]

Mos Def. :lovedup: Getting into "The Bug" too.

Enid if you haven't already
I implore you please check out 'dr. octagonecologyst' by Doctor Octagon.
The maddest, smooth surreal rythms ever with scratching by DJ Q-Bert.
Incredible

"Waits for Enids' post today with bated breath"
Thanks for reminding me, sweetcheeks. I'll post a few songs a bit later when I come home. Hope people will at least give them a listen.

[hennessy]

Me too

[CaraRawr]

i like your song, hennessy, it's very classic rock and the riffs are epic. love the singer's voice as well.

[Mrluvaluva]

God is Enid still getting ready? :tongue:

[Enid]

God I've gotta bloody eat! :P

[hennessy]

Crack on without me.
My team Fulham is playing for next 45 mins.
Will change title once you choose song.
ps Ty Cara

[Enid]

Okay, here goes. This first one I've been listening to for a while. I think it's great and the video is fantastic. I posted it a while ago on here, but I don't think anyone bothered to listen to it, so now you have to. Oh and just because I am nice, Twilight can post a song or two next time.

Baloji (feat. Konono N°1) - "Karibu Ya Bintou"
SfunS_xZK0M

Bassnectar - "Snakecharmer"
ebEgvaUVM30

Gorilla Zoe (feat. Santogold and M.I.A.) - "Get It Up"
dOGGdCSgoS0

[hennessy]

Only checked out the 1st song yet due to the shenanigans I got to go through to watch Youtube (download and watch thru' wmc)
Baloji (feat. Konono N°1) - "Karibu Ya Bintou"
is feckin immense, totally immerse you into the dusty sidestreet ofthe congo.
From the onset with the funky guitar and then the heavily distorted guitar overlay it sounded convoluted but worked incredibly well.
The vid was also great, as it seemed you had an inside look at their world.
All in all will be digging further from this artist (wish I could understand french).

Bassnectar - "Snakecharmer"
Like the drum sample which sounds familiar with a nice asian hook throughout, would've have prefered a climax or a deviation but overall very good.

New Santogold (Feat. M.I.A. & Gorilla Zoe) – Get It Up
Solid Santogold tune with a great contrabution from M.I.A. and Gorilla Zoe.
M.I.A, she really sounds good in this and I can't wait for the new album.

will edit this after I check out the next vid
Glad you enjoyed it! It's great isn't it? I had only discovered this artist a couple of months back. I heard this track on a random music blog and fell in love with it. The distorted sounds is probably what did it for me. I want one of those skeleton suits as well.

[Mrluvaluva]

About bloody time. "goes to listen". :tongue:

[hennessy]

just edited my other post.
That 1st song I'm DL now

[Enid]

Awesome. Would have been a bit disappointed if you didn't like any of them. :P

[hennessy]

Good choices, really liked them.
would never have heard that 1st one if not for you.
Started to torrent his 1st and only albums so far. There so little info on him.
I got M.I.A already

[Enid]

^ that is true. I have just found both his albums on Spotify.

[Twilight]

*Is thinking of what song to use*
lol

[Enid]

Better be good! *shakes fist*

[hennessy]

One Song please
so we can focus more on it.
Not like Enid miss la di da power abuser brushing mere mortal's rules of politeness aside in a vulgar display of esotoric extravagance. good tunes tho'.
didn't want to say anything though

[Twilight]

LOL i think the song i have in mind will fail to be liked, but whatever i'm gonna post it lol:P

[Enid]

Hahaha, sorry! There were just so many to choose from. I'll do what I'm told from now on. :D

[Twilight]

Btw does the song need to have a music video?

[hennessy]

doesn't need a music vid, it's all about the song.
If you can post around 6 or 7 tomorrow to let other comment on todays song that'll be great. good luck.
Sorry for the rules but if it's one thing the Nazi's gave us it was rigid rules, snazzy dressing up outfits and the persecution of the Von Trapp family.

[Twilight]

yeah thats fine, 7 it is:D)

[Enid]

S'alright, seems like it was just you that enjoyed my choons, hennessy. :bawling:

[hennessy]

Remember
'If you can but change just one person's life than that's pretty terrible, but hey better than nothing' or something like that.
I'm gonna play that to some friends tomorrow.
oh please check out that dr. octogon album, it's mind blowing.
I'm out night all

Will do. Haven't forgotten. Goodnight.

[Mrluvaluva]

I was listening to them individually. Got through 2. Commented on them seperately. Then my battery went. I am gonna have to do them again. Which one sounds like GLC?

[Mrluvaluva]

Enter no 2. "Bassnectar - "Snakecharmer"". Um. Sean Paul? K? Like the beats. Bit repetitive. with the lyrics. Like the 80's beats. Ha ha. Remind me of Candyflip. Sex...y...no...stop. It's not. Ooh it is. I can't make my mind up. Takes on no 3!

[Mrluvaluva]

Oh and no 1 was crap.

[Enid]

Oh and no 1 was crap.
You're insane, luva! One of the best tunes I have heard in a long time. What didn't you like about it?

[Mrluvaluva]

3. I am biased on this as I love M.I.A and Santogold already. Loved it from the start. Waiting for the female lyrics. I LOVE them. Hmmmm. Ok? Where are they?......waits.....................oh.....Santog old comes in.......oooh....sounds like Talvin Singh!!! "gets excited" "hah". Not as great as OK. But how could you ever better that? Slightly disappointed again.

[Mrluvaluva]

You're insane, luva! One of the best tunes I have heard in a long time. What didn't you like about it?

It just did not do owt for me.

[King Gizzard]

I heard eric b and rakim mentioned somewhere!!

[CaraRawr]

i'd be happy to do this sometime :]

[Enid]

Okay, well since Twilight missed her queue, I'll go ahead and post another song. Muahah.

Liquid Stranger - "Dance on the Petals". Tell me what you think.

Q4aTFs7PvJo

[Mrluvaluva]

Dub beats and french accordian. Quite moody and chilled. Like the bass. This may grown on me more after a few plays. Sort of reminds me of The Orb. Is the full title "Dance on the petals avoiding the nettles"?

[Enid]

On YouTube it's labelled "Dance on the Petals", and Spotify, "Dance on the Pettles Avoiding the Nettles". Not sure which one is correct.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Wiredly and crazyly intresting song. Kinda Liked it.

[hennessy]

Very chilled out, good song to unwind to after a hard day.
Be interested to find out if their other songs are in the same mode
feel free to chose another poster for tomorrow

[Enid]

Glad you enjoyed it.

Mrluvaluva's turn tomorrow. He has quite an eccentric music taste.

[Mrluvaluva]

Is it ok if I post some older stuff or would you rather keep it more recent?

[hennessy]

anything you like

[Mrluvaluva]

Ok. Will post some tracks tomorrow morning.

[Mrluvaluva]

Well this is my choice for today. I had a few but I will save the rest for future posts.

"Baby I love you so" - Colourbox.


-0vWnZ2w5rc


Can you choose someone for tomorrow please as I am not sure who is active in this thread, and I won't be back on until later tomorrow. If nobody else wants to do one then it's back to hennessy.

[hennessy]

Has a 'specials' feel about, for me it sounds dark and a little like it came from 'Get Carter' OST.
Like the bass and the horn, very bleak.:thumbs:
Good choice, it's a song that would rarely be heard on this forum

[Enid]

Are they dub beats (I'm not very good with dub, just getting into it)? I like it. Very chilled.

I think setanta should be up next.

[hennessy]

I concur

[setanta]

I have to do one now or tomorrow?

[setanta]

Nice track Mrluva by the way. Nice raggae vibes mixed in with electronic beats and sound effects..

[hennessy]

tomorrow mate

[Mrluvaluva]

Glad you all seemed to like it. I look forward to James' choice. And yes Enid. It has dub beats.

[setanta]

Is it ok if I post two tracks from the same artist?

[Mrluvaluva]

Don't be greedy! Ha. Course it is.

[setanta]

Lol, great. I'm just greedy when it comes to this artist. Think he's incredible. I'm a big fan of immersive, ambient music that's laced with beautiful textures and melodies. This guy hypnotizes me.

[hennessy]

Like both songs but favoured the 2nd.
very rich layers with a kind of ambient trip hop beat.
Really like the video for the second and fits the music well.
Will be check out other stuff from him.
I'm trying not to sound like a sycophant.

[Enid]

I love it hun. Same with hennessy, preferred the second track. There's something about it I can't quite pin point. So chilling and out of this world like (does that make any sense?). You a Boards of Canada or Aphex Twin fan?

[setanta]

Yep, like the two of them, although I think Ulrich is more immediate than the Boards of Canada, who are more motivated by a desire to create ambience and soundscapes rather than a strong melody and rhythm. I'm a melody man myself... need that to reel me in.

No worries.... glad that you like him. Yeah, 2nd is my fav of the two, but imagine if they played the first one at a nightclub? I'd be in my element. Think it would be a class track to mix with.

[hennessy]

Setanta you got to choose someone for tomorrow but inspired choices today

[setanta]

Is Lili around anymore? If not then I'd like to hear Shasown throwing one out for us.

[setanta]

And if they don't want to then BBEye has great taste too. Any of those three really.

[Mrluvaluva]

I've listened to the first one, gonna listen to the other one later and post my thoughts..

[Mrluvaluva]

I agree with the others. I preferred "Monday -Paracetamol" too. A nice chilled tune. I could picture myself on a nice beach somewhere warm, alone, watching the sunset/sunrise with the waves rolling in. Very relaxing tune. Good for de-stressing.

[hennessy]

Ok due to no one showing up I'll post today and try Shasown and BBeye again tomorrow

au revoir Simone
Stay Golden
Ts6SF3JSypk&feature=related

The Lucky One
yiKlfvwCkwU&feature=related

[Mrluvaluva]

I'm gonna take a look, or a listen in a mo.

[Mrluvaluva]

Stay Golden is quite a nice Song. The singer has a soothing mellow voice. The lucky one is the one I think I preferred. Very easy to listen to. Liked them both on the first listen. The lucky one has quite a catchy chorus. Never heard of this artist before and liked very much what I have heard so far.

Enid and James, get your ears out!

[hennessy]

Thanks I really like them and hoping to get to see them when they tour.
For further listening check out Sad Song (where you get to see the girls) on youtube and well anything else

[hennessy]

do you want to choose today?

[Mrluvaluva]

I will have a look on YT. Yeah, I don't mind choosing again today. I will post it later on, give a chance for some more comments to come through.

[Mrluvaluva]

Let's have a change of pace.....

eEiu2Kzd0KU

The Qemists.

[Mrluvaluva]

So I suppose this is the usual "I am interested for 5 mins thread".

[Shasown]

Oops just noticed the Pm and realised its supposed to be me, will do it one or two this evening I promise.

[Mrluvaluva]

Not sure there is any point.......

[Shasown]

My first choice would be this man, he is legend, fusing eastern traditional with Western synthesiser, this is right up near the top of his works.

His name is Kitaro, he lives in the States now but was originally from Japan.

GGtKxbu7vLI

Second one has to be the band from canada- Arcade Fire

DEKC5pyOKFU

[MrGaryy]

hey I just saw the PM Baz, sorry haha.

this does look fun, I'd love to do a few days if there's open slots or whatever?

[Mrluvaluva]

Well I don't mind carrying on with it but everyone else seemed to lose interest. Anybody else want to join in?
