Looking really cool. c:

Yeah, I feel it very hard to get out of my comfort zone to listen to music though, and it's sad because there are a lot of undiscovered great bands for me (Rata Blanca would be an example of something I heard once or twice but haven't given a good listen yet)

Yeah, I had the bad luck the place they placed was a pretty closed bar (I don't drink at all though, I swear! And I normally don't go to bars), and the floor was pretty old too, so it kept on shaking. :l

On unrelated notes, I've been pretty in the mood to compose something new but I don't have the inspiration for it yet. Or the genre I want to pick (I've been thinking... More Symphonic Metal maybe? Melodic Metal? Something more... Acoustic/Symphonic? IDK)

It feels... Ankward, I want to do it but there are days I wake up and I feel like a complete idiot at composing music.

 

Psst hey

Only need two more signups for my mafia game

Y'all should check it out if you haven't already ;o

 

This sounds like something I should be a part of.

 

Pffffff.

And eh, depends. This semester's been really busy (well this whole year has been in general lol), so I don't think I'd really have enough time to spare to get the charm on. Would still like to get to know her, though. :b

I am historically bad at keeping up with bands. Without fail I usually just end up listening to individual songs and never get around to listening to their full albums; it's pretty bad. Lately I've gotten a little better at it now since I started listening to more, and now have the full discographies of Los Campesinos, Emmy the Great, Passion Pit, and Emancipator. I still do prefer downloading songs first then an album after I listen to everything a few times, just so I don't feel I wasted my money or ~less than legal time~. As of now I'm still working on nabbing all of Nujabes and St. Vincent's stuff, and am gonna try to get into Thao Nyugen's over spring break.

My first bands were basically whatever was on the radio that my mom would play. Honestly, I still really like all that stuff a lot, despite denying it during the Tragic Middle School Music Phase.

 

I wish my cat would stop having so much goddamn sex. She used to greet me when I came home from school, but now if I'm lucky I see her mounted by some sleazy furball. I feel like I've lost a friend, a good friend, we no longer even know each other.

This was supposed to be a humorous post, but I'm genuinely frightened that she will be maimed during intercourse. She claws at other female cats, and her male friend often hisses at her. I hope she won't mind losing what is arguably the greatest pleasure in life, because I for one am sick of mourning for dead cats and have scheduled the surgical removal of her reproductive organs this Saturday.

 

Bros before hoes doesn't apply to cats.

 

literally -the- best way to start a post

but man what a slut tho

 

She has probably gotten 'laid' more often than you have, at any rate.

 

i've never understood how cats can enjoy it

i mean, the guys have barbed dicks, jesus

 

Cats will tread upon your heart, eat off your face-- no the last part wasn't fraud.

 

that is the most cliché line ever but gurl you sure burnt mee

 

Same rofl, I just listen to individual songs, rarely an entire album.

Honestly, I heavily dislike most current music genres out now, as they don't fit my tastes.

I DO think there are some great bands now that play old genres, like Killswitch Engage.

And hey, atleast you didn't suffer a school life without friends and of being used and bullied for liking anime until you discovered the internet like me. <_<

But we aren't comparing who had the bigger sorrows in their life, so I'm sorry for you.

 

yo. spring break just ended and the first thing i had to do this morning was scrape ice of my car.
thats not right. i demand a redo

When I listen to music I play whole albums. I rarely play single songs, and when I do they're usually from the same album and I'm just in the mood to listen to that album. I hardly ever mix bands together when I listen. That's not to say I don't ever, it's just not a common thing for me. It's also fairly common for me to marathon entire discographies.

About discovering bands, up till around 2003-ish I basically listened to nothing but 90s pop hangover artists, but sometime around 2004-5 I discovered alternative music. I think Move Along by The All-American Rejects may have been my first real alternative album that I got into, and then Meteora by Linkin Park sometime after that. 2005 was a big year musically for me, I discovered all of my favorite bands that year lol. I was staying at a friends house and he showed me all these bands like My Chemical Romance, Breaking Benjamin, Panic! at the Disco, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Green Day, and some others. Around the same time I heard Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy and fell in love. Oh man, thinking about watching the music videos for Welcome to the Black Parade, From Yesterday, and I Write Sins on Fuse takes me back.

you know talking about music is suddenly a lot simpler with last.fm
i can just tell people to go to my page if they want to get an in-depth idea of what I listen to

I've been playing this song nonstop for the past 2 days. Just thought I'd spread the love.

Been listening to this band the entire day.

I used to think until yesterday all music that came from here was terrible save for Tango (Given my tastes), but then this happened and blew my mind.

 

since we're talking music, right now i'm on a Fall Out Boy kick

i just got all of Save Rock and Roll and I'm going back to songs like Dance, Dance and Thnks Fr Th Mmrs. it's ridiculous, but i love them so much

 

anyone want a song stuck in their head?

Regarding Save Rock and Roll, I'm not a huge fan. News of their return sparked ecstatic joy, followed by venomous hatred upon hearing their comeback single, My Songs. A year later I've warmed up to it, still don't particularly like it compared to what came before, especially Infinity and Folie, golden albums imo, but there are parts of it I can enjoy. The Phoenix is so-so, I can deal. Where Did the Party Go is kinda fun, but just kinda. Just One Yesterday, The Mighty Fall, and Miss Missing you are okay. Though I genuinely like the titular song Save Rock and Roll, love the passion in it. However I absolutely cannot stand My Songs, and I'm kinda down on Alone Together as well. All-in-all the album's forgettable for me -- just not my thing.

 

It's strange, but I've never been able to get into FOB. I mean, I even like bands who are similar, but I just can't listen to them without getting irritated.

 

I don't like Fall Out Boy. I tried to get into their music in high school when half of the people I knew in my age group were rabid fans, and it just didn't do it for me, and the music still doesn't interest me now more than 3 years later. I hate the singer's voice, I don't find their lyrics clever nor their riffs and such to give much of a "rock" vibe, I don't care for the general style of them visually or musically, and I STRONGLY dislike that they dared call their new album "Save Rock and Roll."

But you guys have fun listening to them. At least the loud parts of their fan base don't seem as obnoxious as they used to be.

 

It's intentionally tongue-in-cheek, it's not meant to be taken literally which is an attitude the band is known for having (they said this in an interview somewhere). And yeah, I really don't like it either, in my mind it's a huge offense to call your album that given the touchy topic that it is, and then release your poppiest (i don't think that's a word just go with it) music to date. And yeah, arguments can and have been made that it's saving the spirit of rock and roll but I say fuck that, if you're saying something that bold there better be a hint of it somewhere within the product. On the other hand, I love FOB's tongue-in-cheek attitude seen in their lyrics (favorite lyrics all time) so part of me, a small part mind you, likes that they did that albeit in a somewhat mocking way, which brings me back to not liking it. What really makes me mad is the positive reviews I've read of it and the writer clearly did not know the title was not meant to be taken literally and ends their review with something to the effect of, "with this album Fall Out Boy has indeed saved rock and roll". As you can see I'm torn on the album, I want to not dislike it and be okay with it, but then I start talking about it and get all ragey.

Since FOB is one of the earliest bands that I became a fan of over along with P!atD and Breaking Benjamin, their music is so deeply ingrained into my tastes that I can't separate myself from them to understand how a person could not like them, aside from something like that music simply not being your taste. It also helps a lot that I continued to listen to them throughout the latter half of my childhood which adds major elements of nostalgia to their music among others. BB, P!atD, FOB, that is music to me.
