Listen to the Song Above you and Than Post a Song
 
Okay heres how it works.

1. Someone posts a link to a song.
2. You post saying "dibs"
3. You listen to song and post what you think.
4. You upload a song and say some stuff about it.

Side note, i'm going to delete all the dibs post once you've posted about the song and post you're song. So if you see it disappear thats what happened since after you've already posted they're not necessary anymore.


People are probably going to hate this just because of who its by but i've been listening to it frequently since I heard it and the lyrics are just amazing, "Doctor Oppenheimer winced when he felt the broken piece of his pacemaker / Unbuttoned his shirt on a subway platform, clutching his chest while his vision blurred / He saw the bane of his creation. The destroyer of the world / Yeah, truth can lead to solace or a lifelong bender / It’s like wading through a wasteland where a town you loved once stood / You just cry each time you think of when times were good". It appear on a saddle creek compilation. Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley/Solo sings on it, shes also worked with the Elected, Cursive, M. Ward etc.

In this thread you upload a song say some stuff about it, person below you says what they think and does what you did and so on. I figured doing songs would be nice since theres alot of times I hear a song and think 'more people should hear this.'.

Bright Eyes "Napoleon's Hat"

Ok, I'll bite. I'll admit I've never been a big fan of Bright Eyes, but that song's not bad. I like that super minimalist percussion. :)

So mine's "Take Pills" by Panda Bear. Strangely organic loops in the background, Brian Wilson-ish vocals in the foreground. I love how this song has several very different movements and I really like where the vocal melody ends up in the last third or so of the song. Here you go:

I'd never heard them before but been recommended them, I really liked that i'm going to check out more.

This is 60s folk in vein of Nick Drake, the songs "Love Song" by Vashti Bunyan. I think its one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. Vashti is an extremely underrated influential artist and more people need to check her out.

It just one guy actually, one of the members of Animal Collective. That whole album Person Pitch is terrific. i haven't heard any of his other albums, but from what I hear they're completely different from this.

Time to check out your next song...

While I'm feeling motivated here, how about another? This one is "Tug Boat" by The Book of Knots. It's neither old nor mellow but it has a great quiet/loud/quiet dynamic and their ability to turn dissonance into melody that sticks in your head blows my mind. The singer and violinst is Carla Kihlstedt, also of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Tin Hat Trio:

Yeah that melody was great, it wasn't really my thing but it was still solid and kind of addictive I listened to it like three times in a row, i'll probably end up listening to it a few more times.

k, heres another one. This song is Million Dead's To Whom It May Concern, its probably my favorite song by them. They're sort of like the british version of at the drive-in though this song is kind of mellow for them but I like it alot right now. They broke up, their vocalist Frank Turner does a solo thing now hes one of my favorite vocalists/songwriters.

rt, fix teh link.

right-track 05-26-2007 02:28 PM

Any better?

MoonlitSunshine 05-26-2007 02:28 PM

I've got it. I'll post response and new song.

I think from now on, as this thread gets more popular, we should post a "dibs" of sort when you go to download the song, due to the fact that in the time it takes to download, listen, formulate an opinion and upload a new song, a lot of people can be doing the same thing and then you get multiple answers and a messy thread

sleepy jack 05-26-2007 02:28 PM

Si senor@right-track
Good idea@moonlit.

So, to bring the thread back up to date;

hummm. Well, I really liked that, it's my kinda music. I'll comment more once I find the song on my PC again, I lost it...

ok. well, while the vocals kind of annoyed me towards the end, I liked this overall. the riff is quite catchy, full of body, and reverberates around the room like any good electric guitar sound like that should. All in all a good song and band, whom I will probably look more into.

for the time being, here's the next one:

05 - The Apples In Stereo - Same Old Drag.mp3
The Apples in the Stereo - Same Old Drag

These guys were just recommended to me today, and the entire album's great

I don't have that album, I have one, the one that has Ruby on it. I was skeptical about anything else i'm going to get it. That song like most of there stuff i've heard is hella fun.

Neutral Milk Hotel "Holland, 1945"
Right now its my favorite Neutral Milk Hotel song, Jeff is such an amazing lyricist.

Cover of a Tim Hardin song, I havn't heard the original but Okkervil River's version is still amazing its one of my favorite songs right now.
Okkervil River "Black Sheep Boy"

It was good, the vocals kind of bugged me for some reason though.

Voxtrot "The Start of Something"
I've been obsessed with this song ever since my girlfriend sent it to me. It kind of reminds me of the smiths, the lyrics are some of my favorites and its just a really good song.

That was really good. The guys vocals combined with the jazzy sound were pretty soothing. It was just what I needed to hear at the moment.


Alrighty then, here is some Avant Garde from the band, Ulver.

"Blinded by Blood" by Ulver

I don't think the video was done by the band, but the song is the same song.
