The Critic Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Nov 28, 2006 -> 07:22 PM) Man, my daughter would FREAK if I got her tickets to see Cheetah Girls. I, on the other hand, would probably have to seriously consider suicide before going to see that. Saw my first show when I was 10...or 11...it was Cheap Trick. I was 13. Kiss. Alive II tour. 1978. Chicago Stadium. I was a major Kiss geek, member of the Kiss Army, all that crap. I thought they were great. Except "Beth".....HATED "Beth"....

Kid Gleason Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Sitting here right now listening to The Babys "Anthology". Anybody else feel they are one of the truely underrated bands in the history of Rock? John Waite was pretty friggin' great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Bought my daughter an MP3 player for Christmas, so I am sitting here finding songs to put on it for her as I teach her the finer things in music. Heh, her mom is going to kill me for some of it. She'll probably be the only kid in her school with the Sex Pistols on hers, and to make her doubly cool, it's the studio version of "Did You No Wrong", such a great song that is. Easily the best Pistols ever did. So far: 1. Surrender - Cheap Trick (she fell in love with it due to hearing it in Daddy Day Care, then she was shocked to find out I had the song) 2. Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself 3. Tones On Tail - GO! (club mix) 4. Sex Pistols - Did You No Wrong 5. The Clash - London Calling (played them for her before, but the song is featured in What A Girl Wants...so same effect as Surrender) 6. Smokey and The Miracles - Tears Of A Clown I plan to give her a folder of about 20 "great" songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Since it is technically music based, I am posting this here. For my birthday I received 2 of the singing Freddy Mercury figures. One from Brain (just arrived in the mail yesterday) and one from my aunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Been listening to the new Deftones CD today. Enjoying it so far, and it's been getting pretty solid reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDylan Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Giving the new Explosions in the Sky a second listen through as we speak. Like the album, but still they can't get over the "Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever" hump. One day I hope it happens for them, 'cause that was a great album and they're loaded with potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phiteinphils Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm a music major so I appreciate all kinds of music. Now, appreciate is different than enjoy. I hate country music. I hate it because there are two different kinds of songs for country music: fast with lots of guitar, and slow with lots of sappy lyrics. You can put any country song in that catagory. I just can't seem to find any country song that I enjoy. My favorite kind of music depends on the situation. I like Hip Hop & R&B during a party, classic rock when I'm driving, and classical (yes, instrumentals) when I'm just chillin by myself. Music is good.

bmags Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 i wish i knew things about progressions and time signatures... i know little classical musics. I've heard the basics but always wanted to get into it. I've tried to get into jazz first though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiteinphils Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Time signatures are simple, unless you really want to get into it. Here's a crash course. Almost all songs on the radio are in 4/4 time. That's 4 beats in a mearure (4)/4 and a quarter note gets one beat 4/(4). A waltz is in 3/4. Thats 3 notes in a masure (3)/4 and a quarter note gets one beat 3/(4) An example of this would be Billy Joel's Piano Man 2/4 is basically when it is a slow 4/4 song and it doesn't make sense to conduct it in 4/4. Those are your 3 basic time signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm in a definate minority here I'm sure, but right now I can't get enough of "A Beautiful Lie" by 30 Seconds to Mars. The track "From Yesterday" had me hooked from day one, before it hit the airwaves. I think the Leto brothers, and their pals made a great disc last year, one I listen to alot.

Kid Gleason Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Anybody who is into the Blues (both of the Chicago style and of the old Delta style) or the great Motown style of R&B needs to check out Willie Phoenix: http://www.williephoenix.com/ His first album is more straight Blues, while the second dips into late 60's sounding Motown. The guy is killer, and he has a new one about to be released. Check him out if you get the need for some great tunes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly8509CWS Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Still rockin' to "Sam's Town" by the Killers. Honorable mentions by me: "The Loon" - Tapes 'n Tapes "In Bocca al Lupo" - Murder By Death "The Crane Wife" - The Decemberists "Nightcrawler" - Pete Yorn "First Impressions of Earth" - The Strokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Dallas Green, lead singer of alexisonfire, did a solo project last year under the name "City and Colour" named "Sometimes" Outstanding IMO if you just want to hear a guy and his acoustic guitar, that can really sing, andd hear music in its simplest form. Check it out if you get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
