Re: Q&A 3

I had a hard time doing this because I don't listen to albums, but rather just songs in general that I like. I'm not expecting any of you to like this or even bother to listen to this given the fact that you all know my taste in music and have all voiced your opinions before. Here it is anyways:



Songs:
Back to December
Mine
Mean
Enchanted
Never Grow Up
Innocent
Sparks Fly

RE: Q&A Number 3


All right, so I think I've finally got this thing figured out. And by "this thing" I mean the whole mediafire, file-sharing set up. So let's see if this worked.


So, since I live in no-wheresville, my internet is pretty slow. Since it's pretty slow, I didn't get to put up as many songs as I'd have liked, but there comes a certain point where you just say "that's good enough," and walk away.

And since pictures are nice, here you go.Just to reiterate, these songs are from Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City (Stay or Leave, So Damn Lucky, Lie in Our Graves), and Dave Matthews Band: Live at Piedmont Park (One Sweet World, Grey Street, Melissa). They should all be up on the mediafire account.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Re: Q&A #3

I always find this fun, so let's have at it!


My Chemical Romance - Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys

Ever since MCR came out with "The Black Parade", I've been a fan of their music. I've always seemed to love concept albums and with "Danger Days", they've found that niche again. If you're up for it, you can read the concept for yourself here. It's just good old rock and roll with that party feel all wrapped up inside of it. I'm loving the whole thing, but a few worth listening to are (other than the two singles already released):
Bulletproof Heart
Party Poison
Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back
S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
The Kids from Yesterday


Next:


The Barenaked Ladies - Stunt

A bit of an older album, but I've been listening to it more and more lately. Just gotta love the 'naked ladies! (no pun intended). Few notable songs:
One Week
It's All Been Done
Never Is Enough
Who Needs Sleep?


That's all for now. They are up on mediafire

Q&A#4

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
-Albert Einstein

I believe this is true of Christianity.

Discuss?

Re: Q3



Wintersleep - Welcome to the Night Sky
(Good for chilling)

This Blew My Mind

Okay, so it just impressed me.


Refraction from Jesse Zanzinger on Vimeo.

Let it load and then watch it in HD. Pretty spiffy. That is all.

Re: Q&A 3 Albums

I promised I'd answer my own question once I had a little bit of time freed up, and I suppose that time is now. Or, rather, I suppose that if now isn't that time, then I should be doing some homework. But I don't really want to cross that bridge just yet.

For me, currently, music usually comes in waves. I'll really like something for a few weeks/months, and then it'll fade out as it's replaced by something new. The downside to constantly looking for new material. But then sometimes I get caught in a riptide as a really good album or song comes back from the past to carry me off to music-induced-euphoria (that's a link that showed up when I Googled "euphoria"; check it out). But on to the stuff I'm really digging right now (without throwing you into the deep end of my musical tastes, I'll try and move there slowly while still attempting to expand your horizons).

Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager



A very unearthly feeling for another album titled Man on the Moon. It's really a great musical journey from the perspective of things really sucking and deciding to blow past them. In other words, when you feel like you're going one-on-one with the world and figure, somehow, that you might still win. Love the album artwork, too. Because even though it's kind of overdone, it really feels like it fits.
Top Songs:
Scott Mescudi Vs. The World
Don't Play This Song (ft. Mary J. Blige)
Mr. Rager
These Worries (ft. Mary J. Blige)
GHOST!
All Along

For Emma, Forever Ago



Everyone has already heard my bit on the Bon Iver album, but it's really good. I love the hollow sound, or whatever it is you want to call it. Everything about the way that it was recorded gives it that whole "recorded in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere during a period of isolation and hermit living" feeling. Like the fact that it TOTALLY WAS.
Top Songs:
Skinny Love
The Wolves (Act I and II)
Blindsided
Re:Stacks
Creature Fear

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy



Saved it for last, because it's just crazy-good. I don't know how to explain it. If anyone heard 808s & Heartbreak, that was the cut-down, simple, and clean Kanye West. Then this is the glorious, exaggerated, complete Kanye West. Everything is symphonic, in a brilliant way. I just wish I could get that inventive sometimes, y'know? Seriously, every song has a five star rating on my iTunes. Anyway, here's my favourites off the album.
Top Songs:
Dark Fantasy
All Of The Lights (ft. everyone ever)
Runaway (ft. Pusha T.)
Blame Game (ft. John Legend)
Lost In The World (ft. Bon Iver)


All of those songs will be up on mediafire. I know I already had the Bon Iver ones there, but just in case. Also, I know that some of you may be hesitant to download stuff by Kanye West or KiD CuDi, but trust me, I'm not wrong.
