well he can, and I don't think he was bragging so much as contrasting his celebrity status with his skating ambitions.

Lol, I think about 99% of the western world was rooting against him as soon the announcer mentioned that he ran a spam advertising company.

Fuck you, Reilly.

both men's and women's were truly awesome, can't wait until the alpine skiing picks up.

I really don't see how anything other than hockey would be applicable to that generalization...

Lol. Canada's women's hockey team beat Slovakia 18-0, a new olympic record.

its 'american football', there's just no point in adding the nationality in America because its so popular.

^ If you're just talking about hockey, then yes, he's pretty much right. But hockey is one of the last things I associate with the olympics, as I have the NHL for that. Yes, its great to see them compete internationally, but its the less popular sports that make the olympics exciting. Anyone catch Ohno on the short track? Amazing, those two koreans going down on the last turn.

Chris writes the lyrics, and most of the basic chords for songs.

A historical figure you like.

I keep forgetting how quagmire from family guy is modeled straight off of jim carrey in that skit.

My first fascination with music came from classical and celtic music c.d.'s my mom and I would listen to while we read. After that though I rarely ever followed music or bought c.d.'s, mainly cause I didn't care much for anything I heard on the radio or what my siblings listened to. So I guess my current obsession with music was triggered by the six month span four, five years ago where I listened to and collected coldplay's first three albums, and was just hooked. There was a specific time with each album where I had a truly amazing experience, the like of which I never had before. Since then I've understood music to be somewhat of a drug, which is why I get impatient when I go too long without feeling the full affect of great music.

by signalling the lock fairies with a costume and dance of course! :lock:

They seem to really underestimate the impact their lesser known songs would have on audiences. Imagined the crowd reaction if they came out playing Ode to Deodorant...

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. :P I thought for a while that Katie might review yours, I've listened to over half so far and I like some of the more obvious tracks. I'll see if I can throw something together tomorrow its too late now.

This would be "Expialidocious" by Pogo. He's a unique solo electronic artist in that he takes dialogue from kids films (you might have noticed the voices are from 'Mary Poppins') and adjusts the pitch to fit his own dance track. I really love the melody to this track, check him out on you-tube, he also has great music videos to go along with his songs. Vessel - Jon Hopkins. Its on the same album ('insides') which the sample for 'life in technicolor' came from. He's amazing, his early stuff is really pleasant and almost new agey, while his most recent stuff has been denser and less predictable. Winter Wooskie - Belle & Sebastian. Funny you should say that, as they're constantly mistaken for a 60s band, but really they formed in 1996. They’re really addictive. haha, this is “Over The Pond” by The Album Leaf. You had it right, Jonsi is singing. They opened for Sigur Ros a lot last decade, so the members of Sigur Ros have made several guest appearances on his (Jimmy Lavalle’s) albums. …Passing By – Ulrich Schnauss. He’s an interesting artist whose influenced a lot by shoegaze, but has a very mechanical approach to his songs. Every so many bars, it adds a new accent or riff, so you get a very rich texture. I agree his songs can sometimes get boring, but I wanted to counterbalance the heavy songs with some simpler, relaxing instrumentals. Silhouettes In Sunsets – Feltbeats. I think I added this more for contrast than anything else. Its actually by Tom Felton, the guy who plays Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. I like the simple coziness of it. I believe ‘Indie’ is an accurate descriptor. Its ‘23’ by Blonde Redhead. The singer is indeed female, and though her voice can sometimes get annoying, I really like this track. Alone In Kyoto – Air. This one’s popular because its on the ‘Lost in Translation’ soundtrack. Another relaxing instrumental, but I also think it’s interesting and unique. Machine Gun – Slowdive. Pretty straight forward ambient shoe-gaze track. Thought it might be boring, but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff. I Have Loved You Wrong – The Swell Season. Off the second album of Glen Hansard (The Frames) and Marketa Irglova, both made famous by the movie ‘Once’. I adore this song. Beautiful Mind – The Verve. My favorite song off their much more shoe-gazey debut album. I mainly like the ambience created with the reverbed guitars. Sweet Disposition – The Temper Trap. Obviously a really popular (and great) song. I fell in love with it a few weeks ago, and I figured if you didn’t like all the boring, ambient stuff I’ve given you so far, at least you’ll like this one. Boy 1904 – Jonsi & Alex. Again you’re spot on, its off of ‘Riceboy Sleeps’ Jonsi’s ambient project with his boyfriend. All the songs on this album have a unique feel, they use only acoustic sounds (it is a children’s choir), but they mix and distort it in a way that comes out sounding very different. Death – White Lies. Much more catchy and tangible than the previous track. Afraid you’d recognize it, but is awesome all the same. No need to give the title :P… I’m excited you love it, this is easily one of my top 3 songs of all time because its one-of-a-kind, unbelievably beautiful and has more emotional impact on me than any song I can think of. I love the way the melancholy of ‘millions’ segs into the guitar rhythm of this one. :awesome: song, and its :awesome: that it makes me :awesome:. Yeah, absolutely adore it, beautiful concept, the way it just gradually builds, best ‘closer’ I can think of. This is “I can Almost See You” by Hammock. It’s a couple of guitarists that basically make just a ton of ambient songs. I felt obligated to relieve the tension of Samskeyti with something warm, cheesy and pretty. I’m also happy you picked out the Maj7… I’m no music expert, but those have been my favorite chords to write songs with ever since learning Satie’s Gymnopedie’s. :D :P, I’m really ecstatic that you like it so much, here’s the track listing: 1. Expialidocious – Pogo 2. Vessel – Jon Hopkins (Insides) 3. Winter Wooskie – Belle & Sebastian (Push Barman To Open Old Wounds) 4. Over The Pond – The Album Leaf (In A Safe Place) 5. …Passing By – Ulrich Schnauss (Far Away Trains Passing By) 6. Silhouettes In Sunsets – Feltbeats 7. 23 – Blonde Redhead (23) 8. Alone In Kyoto – Air (Talkie Walkie) 9. Machine Gun – Slowdive (Souvlaki) 10. I Have Loved You Wrong – The Swell Season (Strict Joy) 11. Beautiful Mind – The Verve (A Storm In Heaven) 12. Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap (Conditions) 13. Boy 1904 – Jonsi & Alex (Riceboy Sleeps) 14. Death – White Lies (To Lose My Life…) 15. How I Made My Millions – Radiohead (No Surprises) 16. Blindside – Bon Iver – (For Emma, Forever Ago) 17. Untitled 3 (Samskeyti) – Sigur Ros (( )) 18. I Can Almost See You – Hammock (Raising Your Voice…Trying To Stop an Echo)

so..err..yeah, bump. :edit: ^damn your timing. Opening Ceremony was pretty good despite being painfully long as always. I was slightly annoyed that they performed 'Hallelujah' because its sort of an anti-love song, and used ironically. I lol'd at the malfunction at the very end, though.

Someone should totally make one of those Hitler reaction videos for this...here

I spy a curling pun.

:stunned:

1. How recent is modern? 20th century? 2. Tell us more about the group, if its just a small, informal book discussion, then something like 'The Brothers Karamasov' would be a bit long and heavy.

He uses something to play the bit at the end of the first verse of VLV
