The Person-Above-You's Avatar in Song
 

I dedicate this thread to AwwSugar, whose new avatar reminds me of Numbers by Kraftwerk

Your avatar make me think of the Les Paul back catalog for some reason.

I have a feeling this game won't take a lot of imagination at all...

I think you're right.

or you could try playing along, especially since only 1 of the avatars in this thread so far was directly specific to a musician.

for janzoon - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Don't Come Around Here no More (can't embed the video so check it out here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7gWzWqJu1k

for Freebase Dali


for Burning Down - the song is called 'Adding N to X' by Add N to (X). unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any sort of clip of that track online, but that track totally fits the avatar.

These 'games' are getting ridiculous.

"Bright Eyes" by Simon & Garfunkel (IDK)

i have to disagree. i think it's one of the best music forum 'games' i've ever seen, although i'm twisting it to videos more than specific songs.

it's a good way to see how other people interpret things, a taste of the music styles they like since it's going to draw from their experience and interpretation. there's even the possibility it could result in more than just another thread of lists. it's leagues better than the connect the next song/band name with the last letter from the previous song/band name 'games' or the post random pictures until everyone gets bored of posting random pics 'games' about the hottest / coolest / most hardcore / sexiest etc.

to keep it going.

Lateralus = Epic by Faith No More - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AMS3XNK9CU

Stone Birds = Cry by Godley and Creme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtPRF6NG7I

A youtube video should be mendatory, if available of course.

Okay, fair enough, and deal on the YouTube thing.

mr dave:
Predictable, but anything with spirals in it reminds me of this song!


NumberNineDream:
:laughing:

That's a definite win :D You just reminded me to bump the thread, many people have promised a song (excluding you, for working purposes).

YAY! thanks for playing along hehe

while you might think your choice was predictable i didn't see it coming at all, and that's what i think is great about this game. i see your avatar and i think of the start of that FNM video, but someone would obviously see something else. heck i could have easily focused on the colour instead and posted some kaleidoscopic track by Boards of Canada instead hehe.

as for #9Dream (hope you don't mind my respelling) ;)

Ok.... people keep posting the same thing I was about to post... first Kayleigh, now you, and NumberNineDream just copies me all the time (;))..... things are beginning to get strange.

seems appropriate

OH, YEAAHH!!!

Too bad they're not wearing santa hats.

storymilo:


because of the lyrics "You need Kool-Aid and baby I'm not foolin'"

Don't mind the spelling at all!

Loved that video, I think I can see where it did remind you of my avata.

I was so sure it was directed by Michel Gondry, and I was right, and that made me even happier. It's like he was making some draft of "Science of Sleep" in there, which he later wrote and directed.
Just found out that he used parts of that video in the movie he later directed in 2002 entitled "Human Nature" (movie by Charlie Kaufman).

Love Bjork, Loved that song, Love the director.. love Charlie Kaufman. That pretty much captured myself even more than my avatar :thumb:

I was expecting to be skipped, but now got mentioned twice, so let's see what we got:

@ Lateralus, a bit obvious but that's the song that stuck in my head after seeing your avatar:



@ Mr. Dave, your avatar just makes me think of Donnie Darko, are just this part specifically:



@ CC, looking at your avatar I just get lost between the many ethnic fatalities of the gods, I think that one represents some good portion of it:

Dedicated to me?!

AwwSugar:

Doing a Black Sabbath or Ozzy song would be too easy.

I have no idea who/what the hell that is...

The Cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is that the same Raven we were talking about in plug?

EDIT: At Mondo

@ DWV



I know she's not related to the 80's/90's shoegaze scene, but that's what I see in the picture at least.

@ Chula



When I look at that avatar I see a Dad at a Halloween party who went all out, and now he's jamming to his favourite tune after drinking a little bit too much.

I think your song is very fitting :D



Looks like he's holding his chest in pain.

Bonus points if you don't pick a Coltrane song for mine.
