yeahhright

Hmm, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the tour dates yet. http://www.brandonflowersmusic.com/upcoming Pre-sale starts tomorrow for Victims. Anyone going? I have move in for the dorms at my school on the NY tour date, which absolutely sucks. I really wanted to see him live solo. :cry:

I'm more of an album person I think. Unless I absolutely love the stuff I'm hearing I probably won't look too far beyond the album I enjoyed. For a few artists I have everything they've ever done, but for most its just their most recent/popular album.

Hi there! I made your mixtape :nice: Thank you very much for posting your review. Honestly when I found out I had you, I had no idea what to put...I really didn't expect to have a guy so many of the songs I had chosen were kinda girly. They're also mostly mainstream as I'm not really avant garde at all with my musical tastes. High five for being a Muse fan though. And sorry for so many electro songs, I didn't even realize how many there were until you pointed it out... Track 1- Girlfriend-Phoenix-Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Really? the swoosh seems like the ideal beginning noise to me...oh well. And its a man singing. A french man actually. Track 2-Creature Fear-Bon Iver-For Emma, Forever Ago It was an m4a file instead of mp3 which might have caused you some problems. And the ending is part of the song, its goes better with the full album. I'm glad you liked it though, he has such a unique tone to his voice which is really soothing...check out the rest of the album! Track 3-Fader-The Temper Trap-Conditions I figured you would like this one, all of their songs are really catchy and mainstream-ish, but still rock-y enough with a good beat to really grab onto. They're really going to be big one day soon I have a feeling. Track 4-One Foot Boy-Mika-The Boy Who Knew Too Much Haha, yeah as its just a singer instead of a band its going to focus mostly on his high vocal capabilities than the music. Really, I only added this one in because I felt there were too many slow songs on here and it makes me happy just listening to it. Not everyone's cup of tea for sure. Track 5-On A Cloud-PPP (Platinum Pied Pipers) Yeah, I figured you wouldn't like this one. It's girly and poppy and jazzy and I think fit in well for an early diversifying track. Track 6-Crossfire-Brandon Flowers-Flamingo Yep, you got it, it's Brandon's first single! It's really good I think musically considering its primarily a vocal solo album. Track 7-You and Your Heart-Jack Johnson-To the Sea Got it again. I love Jack Johnson and I'm glad you do too. He's under appreciated by a lot of people. Track 8-Paris Is Burning-St.Vincent-Marry Me To each their own, I suppose. I agree with the lyrics not being really groundbreaking or anything, but its a fun little escapist track. Track 9-So Long To The Headstrong-Fleet Foxes-Fleet Foxes EP They really do a great job at layering the song, don't they? The speeds change and the riffs go on and off quickly, but its a great tune overall. One of their best I think. Definitely download the rest of their EP and first LP. Track 10-Lights Go Down-Telepathe-Dance Mother I agree it does get repetitive after a while. Video game music? I see your point. :shrug: Track 11-These Stones Will Shout-The Raconteurs- Consolers of the Lonely It starts to grow on you, right? Same happened with me. I wasn't sure what to think of it, and now they are one of my favorite bands. Check out Broken Boy Soldiers, it has a lot of music I think you'll recognize and like. Track 12-Cosmic Love-Florence + the Machine-Lungs Everything is strong and punchy, in your face yet pretty at the same time. I've yet to meet a person who doesn't like this song. I think you got it, its all so powerful. Track 13- Fast Fuse-Kasabian- The West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum Yeah, the drums kind of fade into the background one the vocals come in. It's great to just dance and rock out to though. Track 14-Deadbeat-Apparatjik- We Are Here It's intentional, trust me. Maybe not the best track for a beginner Apparatjik listener. I wish I had known you didn't like electro-futuristic stuff before, like half of these songs wouldn't have made the cut :lol: Track 15- Ghost Under Rocks-Ra Ra Riot- The Rhumb Line You can't understand him? I swear it's English. Aren't the drums un-freaking-believable? So damn fast, really their best asset, I think. And if you could understand the lyrics, I think you'd have liked them, too. Track 16-Headlock-Imogen Heap- Speak For Yourself Yeah, you won't like Imogen if you don't like electro sounding stuff. Track 17- Foreground-Grizzly Bear- Veckatimest I always end with soft songs and piano. Its a thing, I like slowly fading away. Don't give up on them just because of this track, they really are an incredible sounding band. That's more than I had expected so I'll label this mix a success :laugh4: You're welcome! :)

Yay! You're welcome, and thanks so much for the mixtape :) You did a wonderful job, I'll definitely be checking out a couple of those bands (Beirut, Volo, and Stornoway especially) really soon.

^trust me, that's a compliment from these judges! :lol: ^^Would you rather no one ever use Fix You in any form but the full five minute original version? That's ridiculous. I'm sure any artist would be flattered that someone wanted to use their music to create more art. That's what its all about right? The art? Maybe it's just me.

:cry: but but but I want it! Come on Oracle isn't there someway you could talk with R42 and the boys and make it happen? Pleeeeease?

Haha, the song is like 5 minutes long of course they were going to have to cut it for a 1 minute 30 second dance. It's not really about the song anyway, its just there for an emotional background to the movement going on in the dance.

Beautiful routine to Fix You tonight on the American "So You Think you Can Dance" :heart: about 50 seconds in [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAy3OUhdzf8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAy3OUhdzf8[/ame] Cleaner video here- http://www.rickey.org/?p=45995

Whew! I really enjoyed my tape it was perfect considering the mellow mood I've been in lately. Thanks mixtape maker! :D Here's my review:

I'm sorry mixtape maker, but I won't be able to get my review to you until at the very earliest tomorrow night. Sorry. :\

Got mine :) I'll upload it tonight and probably get my review in tomorrow night.

What if a person sent in their tape for someone who didn't send one in?

Probably sometime tomorrow he'll start sending them out, needs to give everyone a chance to get them in first while its still July 11th.

The same kids who did the viva la vida cover. Its pretty awesome. [ame= ] [/ame]

^Thanks! :D

I...liked it? Kinda. I think. I'm still really unsure about this whole solo album thing.

Mines sent! Sorry I forgot to add the tracklisting the first time :shame:

Do you have your music saved anywhere else besides iTunes? Working outside of it is a whole lot easier, imo.

Sadly, that was pretty much the closest Ive come to one of their concerts, too. And of course the crowd weren't all going crazy, this concert was for USO, the military family and friends. You can't expect them all to be Killers fans.

I've never been able to tell! The black and white confused me, but they treat it like a football even though it doesn't really look like one to me :confused:

^haha, I thought the same thing, don't worry :D I couldn't think of any other way to phrase it. Does anyone know if it was a football, a large tennis ball, or a basketball?

Oooo can I have Guy's ball from Live 2003? And the :) smile.

wooooo! Everyone watch the live white house performance! It's so great! Are we human or are we dancer?

Oh dear. I have a feeling myself and my mixtape partner have very different tastes in music. Hmmm. Oh, and I'm sorry person who has me, I do not have a lastfm account.

I think it's a nice idea sharing what you've experienced with other people just like many other bloggers that aren't famous do. However, it is also reaaaally self-indulgent.
