Cheese Nip 2

I went to their website and checked and it turns out they are involved. They posted this video to encourage people to donate. I can make a separate thread too but I thought it be good to maybe see if we could work it in with HWSTW II or something

With the recent events over here in the states with hurricane Sandy I was thinking we should either get this up and running again or maybe even create one for some of the people effected by that tragedy. The footage I've seen is heart breaking. I go up there quite a lot and many places I know are probably destroyed now. Maybe just a small EP or something but I think it would be really helpful.:)

Just an update: It came yesterday, so to people who haven't gotten it yet you might get it soon. They have been sent:) (Or at least some have)

I don't even know if theatres around me had it. I didn't even really check cause, 1. I don't have the money, and with the money I did have I saw Skyfall (which was awesome:D) 2. I'm buying the DVD anyway. Same price more views like Lauriane and I didn't really want to spoil it.

This was just posted on facebook "There's a new record on the way! Back in the studio as of today with producer Dave Sitek. Watch this space for more info..." Excited!:D

Congrats Celine!:D

Congratulations!:D

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume Square Peg in A Round hole is not eligible? It wasn't officially finalized until 2012 but early versions of most of the songs were out in 2011. Cause y'know there are different versions of the album.

This is great:lol:

I think MX when when Rock Album, Charlie Brown might when rock performance (if it's nominated, which I don't know if it will be), and if the Paradise video is eligible that will in too.

I've heard he's very good (on his forum actually), but I never gave him a listen. I definitely will now!:) I've actually been getting into his stuff lately, especially Gnarls Barkley. I love how they mix soul with some newer sounds. That's funny, I thought he was saying Super Chicken but I thought "No, I couldn't be", but what do you know, he was :P You are very welcome! It was a pleasure to listen to! :hug:

Mixtape Review 13 I should start by saying a little bit about the tape itself. What struck me first is that, when read in the playing order, the track information reads "She's a little pilot in my mind, singing songs of love to pass the time". This I of course noticed as an Oasis quote (which I love) and got me excited for this tape. The tape is called "Up With The Birds", The name of all the artists is "The Byrds", and the album cover is of a little bird. So this tape seems to have an overarching theme of birds. And now…to the songs…. 1. Alright first track. It's a bluegrass sounding instrumental, which I love (you don't see things like this pop up around here too often). Almost sounds like some of Del McCoury's stuff. Great violin and and thing there's a mandolin too. I really have a soft spot for this kind of music so I'm glad my partner included this. Works well with this fall weather…. 2. Ethereal sort of opening but quickly becomes a harder rock. The riff gives me an almost "Kashmir" vibe. Y'know, very desert-y sounding. Acoustic guitar comes in breaking the segments of heavy drumming and electric guitar. There is sort of groaning/yelling in the background but it's barely audible. There may be lyrics but I can't understand them. The think this would be a really great song for a soundtrack 3. Acoustic picking. Really folk sound, sort of a Fleet Foxes style of writing, but it isn't them. There's some tambourine and violens to. Very beautiful song. Some "doo doo doo doo doos" in the there. One of the lines is "Filling your lungs, bring you back to life". I really like the lyrics in this song. They're kind of simple but work well with the music and create good imagery. I'm really interested in knowing who this is, cause I think I'd really like this artist. 4. Distorted electric bass and bass drum beats. Definitely electronic drums I think. Some kind of theremin type keyboard too, not quite sure what it is though. I love trying to figure out the instruments in these types of songs. I don't listen to a whole lot of electronic but I like this, it's sort of chill. Yeah, I'm really digging that theremin sounding instrument making the higher pitched sounds! 5. Really sparse instrumentation with organ chords and some reverb heavy guitar pretty much making the core instrumentation. Female singer this time. It's a very haunting song. The melody takes some unexpected paths which I think is cool. Like, it doesn't necessarily always stay the same, the singer throws in some odd notes. There are some ghostly male background singers towards the latter parts of the song. Really cool tune. 6. Really fast sputtering noises. Joined by fast keyboard riffs and some robotic banging (I don't know what you would call it. Very busy arrangement. Singer comes in but is barely audible. Sounds like Matt Bellamy or Thom Yorke type vocals. It's a very Thom Yorke kind of singing with some falsetto. I could see this being him but I don't know. 7. Another guitar picking song. It's a female singer. She has a really good voice I think. This is a really good companion to track 3, though this is more of a love song while track 3 was kind of like a heartbreak song :shrug:. I really like it. It's a really happy song.:) 8. Organ chords make up most of the instrumentation in this song. Musically it reminds me of the War on Drugs, with the atmospheric organs and stuff. Oh nice, there’s trumpet too! “He’s the only one that knows the words” is one of the lyrics. 9. Oh I know this one! This is Meadowlark by the Fleet Foxes. This songs really showcases Robin’s vocals. Like the title and artwork this song also has a “bird” theme, which makes me wonder if the rest of the songs either have bird related titles or themes.... 10. Starts with what sound like electric drums. Interesting sound effects in the back that seem to move without any rhyme or reason. Sounds cool though. The drum beat changes every now and then. There are a few vocal bits but there under heavy effects and heavily cut, as one might do in a remix or something. I notice some keyboard thrown in the back too. 11. Happy beginning with some bell/xylophone sounding bits. Very folky. Musically it sounds like the Fleet Foxes but vocally it sounds a lot like John Mayer (at least to be), although the chorus kind of makes me doubt that. I heard a bird mentioned so maybe I was onto something before. I really like this, and it might be one of my favorites on the tape. Actually it sounds like there might be some steel drum too, which would totally awesome! Might just be a creative guitar tone though :shrug: 12. Starts with some quite piano. Some reverb heavy vocals, a male singer. I really love the lyrics in this one. Sort of weird, yes, but there’s something I find very heartbreaking about them. I remember when I first heard this mixtape this was the song that really stood out to me and I don’t really know why. A meadowlark is mentioned again. The piano has a really classical sound to it with some nice “fluttering” bits every now and then. It sounds like a woman might be singing background vocals at one point. 13. This is a very danceable number. Very “club” style, almost dubstep at many points. Great riff. I don’t really recognize the singers, which take an almost hip hop style of vocals, but they have that sound that could be any number of people. At some points the song sounds rather sinister, I like it. Some really great drops too. Really cool song I thought, even though I’m not a big fan of dubstep and this bordered on dubstep for me. Good pick. 14. Another slow acoustic song.It’s a good follow up to the previous song as it’s a major change in mood. It’s one of those very relaxing songs. It seems to be about forgiveness. 15. Final track. Interesting vocal percussion and a really soul sounding keyboards. remind me of one of those 70s churches where everyone stands up and claps. Actually, the whole song has this kind of 70s funk/soul thing to it. I feel like I’ve heard this artist before but I can’t quite place who it is. Sounds like there are a lot of singers but I could be wrong. Lots of that “Good Lord y'all” stuff. I like this a lot, it’s really fun. The “vocal percussion” is the best part. I’m sorry my review took so long! I hope you’re not too mad at me! I really liked this tape. Some of the songs were right up my alley and were completely new to me while others were genres I haven’t really explored, but had a good time listening too. I got introduced to some songs I probably wouldn’t have looked into otherwise so thanks for showing me them!:D

Here's the other one:) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iecBKNWn6hc&feature=youtube_gdata_player]The Rolling Stones - One More Shot - OFFICIAL Audio Video - YouTube[/ame]

Anyone in the U.S gotten there International Magic DVD? Still waiting on mine....

^I learned about 23 from my mixtape maker last year. Wonderful tune:D

This is going to be ace! I never seen the show (don't have HBO) but my freind is lending me the GoT DVDs. I'd always imagined Will would fit well in a futile medieval society.....

Fear not Mixtape Maker! I started my review:D

Hello Itailan Plastic (I'm sorry I don't know your real name), I am your mixtape maker! Now, for the record, when I visited your last.fm I noticed you listened to a lot of stuff I usually don't. Now this was both a blessing and a curse as I could relativity find songs I didn't think you'd have heard before but I felt like some might be so different you wouldn't like them. I glad you found some stuff on the tape you liked! After, this whole exchange is about finding new songs and artists to enjoy. I'm happy I could introduce you to some stuff you haven't heard before. That's what I love about the mixtape exchange! Here is the Tracklisting: 1. One Of These Days - Pink Floyd 2. Linger - The Cranberries 3. Jacqueline - The Coral 4. Fire Escape - Civil Twilight 5. Bones - Christians & Lions 6. That's The Way - Led Zeppelin 7. Badge - Cream 8. Creature Of The Night - The Skywalkers 9. The Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914) - The Zombies 10. Drink Tea (For The Love of God) - Kula Shaker 11. In Your Room - Airiel 12. Isolated System - Muse

To my Mixtape maker: I'm sorry my review is taking so long. I've listened to your tape and I will try to get a review up this weekend but I'm swamped with work right now (last 2 days if the quarter), so please be patient with me.:) Sorry for the inconvenience....

^That's awesome I'm probably going to be a mad scientist/Dr. Frankenstein:)

This design is the greatest thing. Ever.:D HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

As a lifelong Star Wars fan I think this is absolutely terrible. I mean sure Disney did pretty good with The Avengers but I cannot trust them with Star Wars. Lucas has said in the past the series was about Vader and Luke. That's it. He said he didn't want to make any more and he wouldn't want anyone else making any. Star Wars has already been made to commercial by Hasnro and what not (Angry Birds Star Wars toys? Really?). Expanded universe is fine, but a Star Wars VII is adding to a story that is finished. A TV show or something would be fine because it doesn't mess with the core of the franchise, but once you start altering the whole thing eventually you're gonna mess up. They better not bring Vader back to life or something like that....The prequels to me we're just some character background but sequels....I just don't trust it. Sorry. That was a mega nerd rant:P

Yes Foster the People

I think there is a video somewhere of Jonny in a top hat....

I like his hat
