Fuckin' Amy Schumer ruined "Matter of Trust" for me. I had a bunch of Billy Joel CDs at one point. About six or so. I ripped them all in the highest quality I could and then gave them to my dad, because I got rid of most of my CDs. Apparently, I didn't back them up on my external drive properly and now I just have my older rips at their glorious 128 bit rate. Ugh.

I'm kinda wondering if Noel likes it just to spite Liam and fans of the song. You know, maybe they're all "omigosh we hate this" and he's all "It's bloody brilliant, you sods. It's fuckin' art."

Holy Shit. Do you live like two doors down from an airport or something? I only use a fan, and while I'm "winding down" I usually do one of three things. Read a book, read a comic, or listen to podcasts, but that stops when I start nodding. So I only have the fan, but I do that year round. Light is more of an issue for me. My bedroom is in a windowless room underground. So it can be pitch black at noon if I want it to be.

I'll try not to ramble too much because I probably could write about this all day. Loud noise now, for the lack of a better word, triggers me. Boom cars. Loud voices. Bass. Rumbling truck engines. Machinery. I've been bombarded by so much sound from my fuckin' neighbors in these last two years I think I have a form of ptsd from it. The funny thing... we actually DO live near an airport. The planes have never bothered me.

I guess this makes, like, three Coldplay songs I've ever liked. But the video for it. What the eff?

B E C K · « **Reply #782 on:** Jun 01, 2016, 04:59:12 AM »

I didn't like this...

...then I read the comment below and it made sense to me as to why. Without the video, there's nothing special about the song itself. Probably best covered live and left there.

That sounds so strange to me. Where I live it is like...Man it would really nice if these cars didn't go by once every five mins. So much noise.

That and I think the people on the other side of the valley have a dirt bike track or something and in the summer you can hear them going like every night. But other then that mostly like Coyotes and shit.

I made a giant expletive-laden ramble about my neighbor noise here: http://www.rabbitinasuit.com/sphere/index.php?topic=4941.msg100875#msg100875

Imma gonna post GBH's Punk Rock Ambulance now to keep me some happies:

So after the Noel Gallagher's High Birds, I thought I'd give Beady Eye a try, and it was.......hmmmmmm.......shit? It isn't nearly as good. I mean it is Liam, but man is it bad.

So instead I went back and listened to Noel Gallagher's High Flying Bird's first album and it was just as good. Really digging the song "If I had a Gun" and "What a Life."

I was just listening to Hozier's "Take Me To Church," so I got curious about the music video for it. I'm not even posting it here. What a bummer. I know the song's kinda a bummer but the video is just... like, don't make me sadder, dude.

Listening to the latest Iron Maiden album. First album of theirs I've liked in over a decade

Heard this coming home late after Warcraft the other night. I was pretty out of it, and my first reaction was that there was something wrong with my radio. Apparently it was being played from the local university's omega-hipster station, so everything made sense after that.

I actually kind of like it.

Lord help me, I've discovered the Rockabye Baby Lullaby Renditions series. I don't care for all of them. Right now I just have the Queens of the Stone Age and the Tool ones.

B E C K · « **Reply #791 on:** Aug 09, 2016, 02:21:06 AM »

Queens of the Stoneage is still my favorite one but not bad for background music.

Well I was right. I got the whole album Chasing Yesterday from Noel Gallagher's High Flying and it is very awesome. Been listening to it constantly for about a week now and my favorite song on the album keeps changing. First it was Ballad of the Mighty, then Riverman, now it is the Mexican.

Dude, I just discovered the Japanese edition on a music blog and there's a second disc with five additional tracks. (Also, Japanese track listing confirms the song title as Ballad of the Mighty I as in the letter "i," represented by the the last two katakana as "ai.")

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Leave my Guitar Alone

Rama · « **Reply #794 on:** Sep 21, 2016, 09:38:39 AM »

HA The Guitar that broke up Oasis. Now that one really is about Liam.

Rama · « **Reply #795 on:** Sep 21, 2016, 09:40:00 AM »

And the Japanese love Oasis for some reason. I actually bought some Japanese imports from back in the day that had way more content then the American or UK releases.

It's not just Oasis. Ikara Colt (also an English band) only ever released two full albums and the versions I bought for both of those were Japanese because of all of the bonus tracks. Extra bonus tracks in Japan is a thing apparently, due to wanting to dissuade imports. Kinda neat but kinda stinks too though because with a domestic or even "locally domestic" release (like released in England or whatever country I was listening to), I had to wonder what I was missing. I think it made me never want to buy a CD again. (Although I did buy a few before I actually stopped.)

Rama · « **Reply #797 on:** Sep 27, 2016, 06:36:32 PM »

I still buy them from time to time. I kinda like just having it....for old time sake or something.

B E C K · « **Reply #798 on:** Sep 27, 2016, 11:56:04 PM »

I'm really struggling to recall what the last CD I bought was. I think it might been when I ordered the releases of "Ciao Baby" by theSTART and "Music from Regions Beyond" by Tiger Army together. Or it could've been "Dying to Say This to You" by the Sounds. That one I actually went into a store to buy. But then again, it might've been something random I picked up at Half-Price Books.

Rama · « **Reply #799 on:** Sep 28, 2016, 08:19:03 AM »

I think the last thing I bought was a Best of out of that bin of CDs at Wal-Mart. Can't remember who it was a best of of though.

Anyway I was listening to Susan Vega's Blood Makes Noise. She was my musical crush till Shirley Manson of Garbage came along. They are very similar. Red heads with alluring sexy voices.

~~Can't you just picture them doing each other?~~

jonhammstein · « **Reply #801 on:** Sep 28, 2016, 07:07:02 PM »

Rama has since moved on to Florence Welch.

Garbage tried to make a mainstream comeback not long ago, and I remember a bunch of people gushing about how Shirley Manson hasn't aged. So I checked out a video.

Listen, we all get old. It's inevitable. She's definitely super-fit, no doubt! But she looks old. And that's okay. The alternative is transforming into one of those plastic surgery monsters, and nobody wants to see that.

NOBODY.

Pay money To my Pain - "Bury"

It's the OP to One Outs. It almost makes One Outs look like something deep when it's just a badass gambler owning dudes at baseball. Apparently the vocalist died near the end of 2012.

Looking up some Hiroyuki Sawano stuff now thanks to Aldnoah.Zero. I didn't realize he also did soundtrack music for Attack on Titan, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Kill la Kill, and Seven Deadly Sins. He also worked on Blue Exorcist and Guilty Crown but I didn't like the former and have no interest in the latter. Great music tho'. He also worked on Thunderbolt Fantasy, which I have yet to try.

2-hr Sawano mix

B E C K · « **Reply #805 on:** Jan 02, 2017, 06:05:51 PM »

There are WAAAAAAAAAAY more of these than I ever thought. Not all of them are golden, btw, but they make nice background music for when I'm writing relatively non-tense scenes.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Rockstar (lullaby versions of pop and rock music)

I can't remember if I ever posted this here before.

It popped back into my head today for some reason, so might as well (re?)share it.

So this is the Rammstein guy? Also... I have the urge to floss. A lot.

Edit: Comments did not disappoint. "Do not praise abort praise abstinence."

Does anyone know if this track is sampling something from FF6 or FF4? Or maybe if it just got re-sampled in FF8?

I heard it playing on a Hiroyuki Sawano playlist (even though it's not a Sawano song, but whatever) and immediately recognized it as a Final Fantasy track. At least the person who labeled it used the correct title for the track or I never would've found it. The thing is I already knew the tune and everything. It's from FF7 but the thing is I've NEVER played FF7. That can't be where I heard it, so I definitely do not recognize it from FF7. Holy crap, it's bugging me.

jonhammstein · « **Reply #809 on:** Jan 10, 2017, 07:44:10 PM »

I've played VII, so it just sounds like Reunion to me. And I'm fairly certain that it's unique to that game, but it's entirely possible it shares similarities with other Final Fantasy songs.
