Boreas

Cyrus Miley?

Tori Amos actually had a collaboration with Damien Rice in a song called The Power of Orange Knickers, I was considering it for my mixtape, but I chose Jamaica Inn instead. Misstep :lol:

Cyentology? Calliope Iphigenia Torres?

Cumbrellaellaellaeheheh?

Coldplay? :uhoh:

But his last name does reminds some people of AIDS

I'm amused by Muse and the whiole mixtape thing. Library freshener!

1) Shearwater- On the Death of the Waters (Rook, 2008). This was an excellent album from a rather underrated band. You shoud check it out, one of the best of 2008. I totally dig them 2) The Black Keys- 10 A.M Automatic (Rubber Factory, 2004) I think Blues/Garage is a genre that divides people. I thought this was a good way to get into the mix after the relatively slow tempo of the last track. I know you have to :lol: I'm not impressed at the first sighting but I'm sure I will like it 3) Sun Kil Moon- Carry Me, Ohio (Ghosts of the Great Highway, 2003) You're right about this being repetitive, and yep as with Mark Kozelek's work, its all about the lyrics. I find it very beautiful. :searchingthelyric: 4) Destroyer- Foam Hands (Trouble in Dreams, 2008) I've only recently started to listen to this guy. He reminds me a lot of David Bowie vocally. With each album he adds and adapts to what is already a pretty unique sound. Highly recommended. Surely I will get to know them 5) White Rabbits- While We Go Dancing (Fort Nightly, 2007) A six-piece band with two drummers who make pretty upbeat, dancy rock music. This is from their very solid debut album. gonna find out more obout them 6) Deerhunter- Never Stops (Microcastle, 2008) I'm sorry you didn't like this as I love it. A really great album from a very prolific group of musicians. I still haven't sunk into them after several hearing :lol: 7) Feist- One Evening (Let It Die, 2004) Isn't this great? I love its chilled, laid back feel. very! 8) Talking Heads- Once in the Lifetime (Remain in Light, 1980) Iconic song from one of the most influential bands ever! (not that I'm opinionated at all). They make you want to dance and be happy in general. Genius. 1980?? I thought it's a mid 90's. WOW!! I have to listen more of them! 9) British Sea Power- Oh Larsen B (Open Season, 2006) I think you either love this band or you can't see what the fuss is about. They tend to juxtapose rather serious lyrics alongside upbeat rock music. Well worth a listen. I'm the latter :P. Maybe it takes time. I'm gonna have to understand the song thoroughly 10) Elliott Smith- Cupid's Trick (Either/Or, 1997) I wanted to slow things down a bit with this one. The late, great Mr.Smith had rather spider-web thin vocals which is maybe is why you thought it was a demo. As I said, it sounded like Coldplay in pre-Parachute era (not the song, but the record) 11) Frightened Rabbit- Head Rolls Off (The Midnight Organ Fight, 2008) I find this to be very uplifting as you may have noticed from the lyrics. It has a very simple structure and it works perfectly with the vocals. I'm not good at deciphering. But bottomline, I like it 12) My Morning Jacket- Lay Low (Z, 2005) Ah, it's a real shame you didn't like this. I thought the rather excellent outro jam was a great way to end a mixtape. I need to hear this some more time. Maybe it's just because I didn't get what I expected. The drum promises a strange, synthy, gloomy song. But I think this is the kind of song that I will like. I love your mixtape, it showed me the things I've been missing. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

It would be a very long playlist.

I made it :) I'm glad you didn't slaughter me with words. 1. Enya - Aldebaran (Enya, 1987/The Celts, 1992) It's in Irish Gaelic lyric translation 2. Padi - Sang Penghibur (Tak Hanya Diam, 2007) This one is Indonesian. I put it here in case you didn't like the first song :P lyric translation 3. Beck - Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2004) from Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind soundtrack. This one in case you feel left out by 2 foreign songs :lol: lyric 4. Tori Amos - Jamaica Inn (The Beekeeper, 2005) I like the lyric too. lyric 5. Moby - Extreme Ways (18, 2002) from Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum soundtrack. lyric 6. Amy Winehouse - Some Unholy War (Down Tempo) (Back to Black Deluxe Edition, 2007) The greatest lyricist ever!!! lyric 7. Swan Lee - Tomorrow Never Dies (Enter, 2001) A song originally made for the Tomorrow Never Dies movie, but ended up for Hitman game. I thought you will like it, but I was wrong :\ lyric 8. Enigma - Camera Obscura (The Screen Behind The Mirror, 1999) I'm sure this wouldn't be everyone's pick of the day :P lyric translation 9. Schiller and Sarah Brightman - The Smile (Schiller: Leben, 2003/Sarah Brightman: The Harem Tour, 2003) and this one too lyric 10. Jason Mraz - Life is Wonderful (Mr. A-Z, 2005) I thought you would know it :thinking: lyric 11. Luciano Pavarotti and Aqua - Funiculì, Funiculà (Luciano Pavarotti And Friends For Cambodia And Tibet, 2000) I have a strange taste, I know... :rolleyes: It's in Neapolitan. This is a last minute addition, it explains why this one was placed rather poorly :P lyric translation 12. k.d.lang - Golden Slumbers/The End (Happy Feet, 2006) from "Happy Feet" soundtrack. This is the first song I chose and I instantly know where to put it. At the end! lyric

Fixed :)

dp :dozey:

Track 1: Even from the first second it already gives a great impression. A sudden change is expected, but I was really shocked. It turns out to be just an interlude that leads to a heart-tearing piano stunt. Minor chords here and there to my liking. Oh it melts me like Elbow. I immediately love this song. Track 2: First, I thought it wouldn't be my cup of tea. A bluesy rock tune. A short one, only 2.59. It reminds me of Lenny Kravitz. Some wild guitar solo for outro. Second, for me it's the kind of song that requires multiple times of listening. Track 3: It sounded like a crossover between American and British music, maybe they're from Atlantis. It's like Goo Goo Dolls singing an Oasis song. Kind of repetitive. I was expecting a certain jump or at least progression, but it never came. And a long one too. Maybe lyric is their strong point, but it's hard to decipher. Track 4: The vocalist doesn't sound like he's fluent in English. But his voice is frail, the kind that would be magical if he sings the right song. The song slowly builds up, as contrary to track 3. It ends in a fade out manner but I think it was abrupt; it’s like missing the last part. Nevertheless I like it. Track 5: I have a mixed feeling about this song. I dislike the arrangement. The melody and the chords are good, but it mixed up in Jet's music style. The piano riff is brilliant though. I wish it could be a piano-only acoustic record. Track 6: Retro-ish intro, back to the British invasion era. Like track 6, the good guitar riff and vocal are mixed with rhythm that I don't really keen on. Not my cup of tea. Track 7: I love, love, love, love this song. One Evening by Feist. Her voice is soft, with some enticing accent. The kind of voice that can drown you in her bad intentions. The bassline discreetly leads the song. Small details orderly scattered, makes it complete. (Her album disappoints me though) Track 8: I felt like the first time I listened to Space. At first I was thinking, man your vocal sucks! But I then opened up to him, because his voice is in fact exciting to hear and listen to. The sounds funny, well maybe funny is not the right word. I’ll stick with exciting. Strange lyric, which is good. The song is kind of repetitive but I was willing to follow him all through the song. I like it. Track 9: I like the drums, blaring cymbals tuned to play only softly in the background. I failed to see uniqueness though. The guitar solo at the end is good and a wee bit Jonny-like (I'm not saying that It's good because it's Jonny-like), but it would fit a more depressing arrangement better. But again this is a song that I have to learn to like. It grew on me at take two. Track 10: It sounded raw, like a demo. I can't say much about this song. It left a weak impression, even after second hearing. Sounds like Coldplay at their pre-Parachutes era. Track 11: At first the vocal sounds annoying. But the song itself is good and fits the vocal. A thread of guitar riff perfectly placed on the chorus. A somewhat simplistic drumline fits the song well. It ends well too. In general I like the song, or maybe more (yeah, definitely more). Track 12: It started out good. The vocal is good. But as it progressed to the chorus, I felt underwhelmed. Even the vocal gets a little annoying. And then an excessively long interlude which turns out to be an outro. Okay, I got a little biased because it doesn't sound like what I expected, so I'll restart. I still think that the drum is too epic for the song. It will fit radiohead-ish song better. The melody is good. But each instrument sounds somewhat crashed into one. Like a band which members have so many egos, and they play for themselves rather than for the band. It will take me a while to appreciate this song.

Mercy - Alanis Morissette

die and live and die and live a thing beyond our flesh it's what digitality can give the blessing of talking trash

Life in Technicolor II (Live) - Coldplay

Haven't met you in a while, Laura :)

your link have no file:confused:

At first it was yellow, and I was thinking "oh, they're good", then shiver came and I wasn't impressed, then i heard trouble and I hate the video because it looks depressing (the tied in the chair one), then don't panic which didn't give me much impression for lack of airplay, then in my place, I hated it, and I wonder why they got so much praise for it, then i saw the scientist video and I'm caught with the vid and the song, then clocks which, like don't panic, lacks airplay, god put a smile never came here, then speed of sound, good, good song and video, and I was thinking "3rd album already?" then came fix you, one of their worst song, in my opinion. I hated it. then talk and the hardest part, it didn't get much airplay too, then i heard violet hill and whoa! new sound! then i heard viva la vida and whoa!! even newer!!! then i d/l LRLRL, and heard death will never conquer, and was amazed that will champion sang the song (I didn't know who will champion was). I googled the band for more info, and get all their albums. It turned all my interest towards them. from like to really, really like. I know I was supposed to post just the first song, but I feel like writing a diary.

Changed her avi!!! and still nerdy :P
