The Mad Hatter

posting the cheesiest definition on the first page From the very first moment you meet Emily, the way she looks at you will make you feel as if you've been friends with her your whole life. Emily is the only girl of your dreams who will come true. She will show up in your life disguised as the muse Serendipity or, "happy accident" and as convincing as she may be, Emily herself is no accident. At times, she may not always know exactly what she is doing. Nevertheless, Emily's actions will always be intentional and deliberate. It's easy to be fooled. She has the power to tear ANY man apart if she so chooses to but if your love for Emily is true, you will be able to gaze deeply into her endless blue eyes and see underneath her clever camouflage to discover that deep down, Emily is a diamond. Perfect and flawless. Her soul is as free as a new born baby and feels just as soft and cool, but she is no push over. She'll always do as she pleases even though you may not approve. It is wise to never ask Emily "why?". Doing so will make you go insane. If you happen to be lucky enough to have a friend named Emily then you are blessed with infinite inspiration and endless imagination. It is because of Emily that mankind has dared venture into outer space. I inspired NASA. Fuck yeah.

"O__O" -- Batman

I'm sorry you didn't like the tape so much, but I knew from your last.fm that we have pretty different tastes, so I decided to veer out and sort of pick and choose different things that I like from different genres and sounds and see if anything stuck. I didn't realize until it was reviewed that I'd included so many ballads! I feel like a sad nerd now! Link

i found a recording of tom hiddleston reading "may i feel said he" by e.e. cummings and i nearly died

I am so glad this is here right now

Nah I probably would have just sent some back as is customary nbd nbd

that's like half of why i felt weird

I went in and felt weird and I left it's just like real life

thanks i am in-group :cool:

am i allowed to have the url or am i not cool enough

no

this has become the best thread on coldplaying

Thanks!

^Great tape...would you mind posting a download link? EDIT: I just realized that in my first tape I also included Okkervil River and Belle and Sebastian...I think we are probably spiritually connected :p

1) This is definitely Lorde. I admire her individuality and unique sound and voice. She's very much her own person. Her music is smart. I think this track would be interesting to hear with strings in place of her looped backing vocals, but really, it's not something pop artists do often, using their own voices as more of an instrument. At least not since scatting was a thing. God, this girl and this song just exude cool. 2) Arcade Fire! "Rococo." My listening has been pretty spotty since Neon Bible and I don't consider myself a fan, which confuses me because I really do like them. I like the lyrics--not just the catchy "rococo" chorus, lol--slamming a bit of the more pretentious people. The music is safely Arcade Fire's sound, which isn't wrong or bad, because even now it's something no one else can seem to replicate. It really only works for them, anyway. Ooh, nice guitar solo. 3) This is a bit louder than the previous two tracks and I don't think I know what it is. I don't. A bit synthpop. It kind of reminds me of older Britpop, stretching back into the early-mid 2000s. I like this kind of music. The bands always seem to know how to use silence appropriately, through their sound, if that makes any sense. I really like this guy's voice, and I am sure that it isn't at its prettiest in this song. This might sound good acoustic. I really like this, wow. "I'm sorry for times that I have kept you awake", I think he said? I like that. 4) I'm fond of the sort of folk-y, rock sounds that bands like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have been playing, so I'm enjoying this. I like this break at about a minute an a half. And the female backing vocals add a lot. The guitar is crunchy but the vocals even it out. I really like it. 5) This is quiet and pretty. Now less quiet. And that's James Mercer. This must be Broken Bells rather than The Shins. I like. 6) It sounds like an elevator at the beginning. A Silent Hill elevator, complete with creepy fan. It's like white noise, in a good way. It's picking up a bit cheerful. Sounds nice. I wonder if this is an instrumental? It sounds like Radiohead, but their sound changes so frequently that for a casual listener like me it's hard to recognize them without Thom's voice sometimes. 7) Oh, pretty. This accomplishes something that a lot of music doesn't seem to attempt nowadays, a musical portrait. I like electronic music, especially when it's more atmospheric like this. There is a place for this artist in my library. I have enough trance and stuff, and since I only started listening to this type of music a couple months ago, more light and airy music would be good. Maybe my favorite track on this tape. 8) Glad to hear another female lead. I like this--a big guitar sound in a small room sort of feeling. She reminds me of Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (vocalist in many Silent Hill tracks), probably because of that unbridled sound (which is actually quite controlled). The only way the group could have handled her voice being a distraction from the music is with these breaks, really. The music is good; it's just that you can only really hear it if her voice isn't there. She just sounds too good. A very cool song, somehow managing to feel both calm and urgent at once. 9) I really do like the guitars in this track and how they play off of each other at some points. This sound has been growing in popularity and a lot of bands have been successful playing it, but it has always been sort of uninteresting to me. I like it, but it isn't something I could really get into. 10) This is interesting. I don't really know what to say, but I do like the instrumentation, and the gradual add-ins of different sounds. The build, I guess. Like, it's two minutes in and continues to grow in complexity. It's really good. It sounds like it's stripping itself back down at about four minutes. Really cool, really musically interesting track. Things like this are why it bothers me when people say that there is nothing new or intriguing in modern music, or when people rag on non-traditional instrumentation. 11) Someone has a sexy, sexy voice. This kind of sounds like a Bond theme, which is good, because those are always good (let's not talk about Madonna's). It's so intimate. It almost feels like she's whispering in my ear. I feel like a skeevy old man. I need a cold shower. This mix has very good representation from both sexes, which I really liked. I hear too many people say "I don't like female voices as much" which is all well and good, except people seem to equate female voices with pop divas, which is not nearly representative of the whole of female voices. Anyway. Uh. I liked this tape for the most part, as I'm trying to get into more electronic music, and I think the track list will help me out. The person who made this is clearly not holed into one genre, and I like that. I also enjoyed the addition of instrumentals, which I don't think is something everyone feels comfortable adding into a mixtape. Also, I'm not sure why I mentioned Silent Hill twice? Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Face game is strong You're really pretty~

"I Thought You Were Australian" should be a real song.
