Tavern's DJ

Distress Signal - Pendulum.

This song has been overlooked, IMO.

 

Avantasia, The Story Ain't Over. The single was much better than the actual album.

 

Hunger Strike - Temple of the Dog

 

Turbulence -- by The Working Title

 

Black - Pearl Jam

 

Dream Theater, The Count of Tuscany. I love it. Along with the fantastic lyrics, the last five minutes of the song is basically what I've always wanted to hear from Dream Theater. The Count is already one of my favourites by them.

 

Destruction of a Statue - Suicide Silence

 

"Mother Superior" by Coheed & Cambria
Your answer is in there, just stare down the barrel; Your sincerest apologies wont write you out of this one; Tonight, you'll find the right in the pull of the trigger --now bite...

What a fantastically depressing song; the narrator is trying to convince the protagonist to kill himself after everything he's done wrong... Musically, the song is perfect. Sanchez's voice is interesting, magnificent, and I wish I had an ear for composing like he does.

 

When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

Perhaps the crowning gem of Led Zeppelin IV, this song has great sentimental value to me. I will, perhaps, never grow tired of it.

 

Go With the Flow - Queens of the Stone Age

^Pretty much one big innuendo. Haha

 

*Thumbs way up*

Better Living Through Chemistry - Queens of the Stone Age

(My favorite song of theirs)

 

"Dont Tell Me It's Over" by Gym Class Heroes featuring Lil Wayne and Dr Dre
One hit wonder, my ass! What are you talking about? Let them keep blogging trash --I'ma take the garbage out. It's your hate that keeps me believing that we're the greatest of all time, so please dont tell me it's over...

What a great song, always makes me smile; inspiring, and I always listen to it before I start writing.
And I dont know about Dre or Lil Wayne, but Travis is one of the only mainstream rappers I respect. He's awesome.

 

"Firefly" by Jimmy Needham is stuck in my head.

 

'Cheap and Cheerful' and 'Sour Cherry' by the Kills are in my head at the mo
Oh and Sympathique, (Pink Martini) love that song

 

"Sous une pluie d'étoiles" by Cindy Daniel
I found a rough translation, and it of course is a love song, and it definitely reads better in French, but the title in English is something like, "Under a Star Shower."

The personal meaning the French words have to me makes me want to cry. Her voice and the song itself is so, so beautiful.

 

VNV Nation - Perpetual

Find it in you, raise your eyes
Look beyond the place you stand
Towards the furthest reaches
And to the smallest of things
The sound you are hearing
Is the symphony of what we are
Revelation will not come
With heart and mind closed and divided

No need of sun to light the way
Across the ages, we have reigned as we endured
Through the storm fronts we will ever surely pass
To stand as never ending light

Throw away the mantle
Awake from your uncertain hesitation
No way to describe or equate the feeling
No end to what is at your command
A million thoughts run through you
Concentric circles, ever greater
But you have always known
That this is not all there is
To your questions there'll be answers

Let there be, let there always be
Never ending light

 

Glen Miller - In the Mood

 

Yes.

"Flockprinter" by Buddy Wakefield <-- He is perhaps not a musician, he's a slam poet, but it's what's playing right now. He has a gift for poetry.
Even before we met, when the assignment was to draw words with their own literal meanings, I would write out each letter of the word LOVE using winning halves of wishbones, melted Crayons, and the toe-tips of the great dances who've quit dancing because I dont give up on sh*t like that. I always knew I'd find you.

Beautiful!

 

Love Will Come To You ~ Indigo Girls


If I could be 1/10 the poet that those two ladies are, I would be blessed indeed.

 

The prodigy- Invaders Must Die.

Oddly fitting, considering I'm clutching a can of bug spray since the re-emergence of the creepy crawlies in my flat (environmental health are going to be getting a very angry call on Monday)

 

I just listened to MSI's Frankenstein Girls May Seem Strangely Sexy for the first time in a couple years. It's weird, because I used to know that whole album by heart, and now it's like listening to something new because I haven't heard it in so long.

While I have to admire its originality, and while it does remind me of some really great times, I definitely think my musical tastes have matured a lot since I last listened to that album. Or I'm just old now.

 

Ditto. I used to listen to them too. I think maturity probably has more to do with it.

 

The same thing happened to me recently with Violent Delight. Soooo Purile. And yet, it seemed such a good idea at the time.

I'm now listening to Hot Hot Heat's Bandages. Awesome song, not lost its zing since I first heard it.

my favourite line? 'I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made, of you, for you, lets see what needles do...'

 

Y'all'r'jus young'uns!


For Free ~ Joni Mitchell

(actually I'm grooving out to the whole Ladies of the Canyon album. Sublime.)

 

No Time to Bleed - Suicide Silence
