The music thread was getting too long to load. 50 embedded youtubes cause any machine I own to crash.

So, this is a continuation thread. I think we'll need a new one every so many videos.

Thanks for the Amy Lee. I get annoyed at people who think she is "too mainstream to be symph" it's the kind of counterculture snobbery that's been around all my life, probably forever. She's awesome, anyway, I was going to post a different one, but I'll skip it for now, I better get to posting though...

Are you trying to say I posted too many videos? >_>
(I totally did, just checking if that's what you're saying.)

In case anyone missed the aforementioned song thread: http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=18&t=47107

I would highly recommend the flash blocker add-on if you're using Firefox. Since it won't load them until you click on them, it makes video-heavy threads much easier to deal with. When I tried to load the thread in Safari, it took much longer to load and froze the browser for a bit. Just another reason I love mozilla.

Kudos on the Nightwish and Epica. I love both those bands. And very welcome for the Amy Lee. I saw Evanescence on their first major-ish tour and it remains one of the best performances I've ever seen. She sounds damn near to perfect live. There are very few of her songs I haven't tracked down, so if there are ever files or anything you want, I could probably upload them somewhere or send them to you.

I do not need the written code of a spiritual belief to act like a decent human being.

Cool! Yes, definitely. I have or had the complete nightwish, but as I haven't been able to play my mp3s in 18 months or so I don't have anything post Dark Passion Play, should there be any. I know its coming soon.

I saw Nightwish with Annette, I think it was their first show in the US. At one point she was introducing a song, using her the knowledge of very close to no English, and she said "next I have something to do sex to you." and she tots some coahing from fans in the audience and said "oh, sorry, I mean To have sex with you." and then Tuomas came over and whispered something in her ear, she looked very embarassed, and said "no no no, I have song with sex, for you?"

Anyway, they had a meet in greet next day, and I kick myself for not going. I also missed Epica when they were here, because I had no transportation.

But the ipad and the mac both have trouble with too many videos, I would love to have something that loads them selectively. I think the iPad version of safari does that automatically, but because its apple, it autoblocks most of them for being copyrighted.

Android will load it, but wont play them, because it's quirky. I have Froyo, and it doesn't really work all that well. honeycomb is maybe better, but I haven't used it.

But definitely. Send me an email.

Double post.

ETA: I don't think *you* could upload too many songs. Wulfie maybe... nothing against hair bands, they're good as far as they go, but it would get old real quick for me.

I have a lot of Epica, and a few other bands. I used to have more massive amounts of symph, but a nasty computer crash killed a lot of my files. That's what did it for me an windows.

A friend told me "you gotta check out Sarah Connor Chronicles."
Me: I can only get the most recent few eps on hulu..
Friend: you want watch it on this site *link*
Me: thank, cool. Uh oh. Now I have a virus.
Friend:download this virus killer, it gets that virus.
Me:oh, okay. That killed my virus. And I can get it to stop scanning. And it just killed my computer. MY FILES!

Anyway, fortunately for me I have OCD, so I have ten thousand back ups, loss of works and writing was minimal music and Music, I lost only the most recent stuff. Some new bands that I have now forgotten. One was dragonforce,which is okay, because if I listen to it I go nuts. I actually forwarded that song to a friend after you posted it, with the heading, its like dragonforce, if they didn't suck. (Which I feel a little bad about because Herman Li is an amazing guitarist, but it doesn't, alas, make the result, musical.)

Ooh, good choice. They played that one when I saw them. I have to admit, it's dangerously close to being a religion instead of band

I would have liked to have seen Tarja on stage, but I get what the falling out was about: Her husband had already set up her solo career, and "lead singer goes solo and replaces band" is such a well known music meme, you sort of have to take preemptive action. I love them both though.

I could upload to some file-hosting site so they could all be downloaded. Actually, I've been meaning to do that just as a certain level of backup, even though I compulsively back up my rare tracks on flash drives and such.

And humorous songs came up in the other thread, so I can't really go without putting this one in the mix...

And what is probably one of my favorite covers of all time:

This whole album was stuck in my head for at least a week a few months ago:

Oh wow, I never thought to be so delighted by a Justin Timberlake song! Oh, I'll be laughing half the night.

Some classic songs released shortly after I was born, so I grew up with these:

I think the title of this thread should be changed to "Song Sharing: Volume Two" or something. I notice fewer folks coming into this one.

Ah, those songs were released shortly before I was born, but I know them well. Crumbling Down is a good song, but I think my favorite Mellencamp song would probably be:

A funny and catchy reason I'm a Mighty Boosh fan:

Some classic fantastic Bad Religion:

Anyone like musicals with muppets?

Couple songs I can't find good links to:

Freak of the Week by Marvelous 3 - junior high era me.
Mutant Generations by Steve Macdonald - some wonderful filking.

And my favorite Nightwish song is probably Sleeping Sun. I won't link it, though, just in case (horror of horrors) anyone is getting burnt out on the Nightwish in this thread.

Cantata Profana

"Once there was an old man,
One, who treasured nine sons
Fair and sturdy
Seed of his own body,
Nine fair, sturdy fellows
Naught of work he taught them,
Neither trade nor farming,
Ploughing not, nor sowing,
Naught of handling horses
Nor the care of cattle.
Only this he taught them:
Hill and vale to wander
Hunting the noble stag

Through forest aroving, hey-yah!
The bounded ahunting, hey!
All nine sons and sturdy brothers
Through forest aroving hunted.
Farther still they wandered
The hunted on and on
Still longer and longer, until
Deep lay a mysterious bridge
Wondrous stags had crossed it,
Heedless on they followed
Not knew where they wandered
Lost in forest shadows,
All were changed to stags
Slender stags, enchanted roving
Through the forest

Hey, at last the loving father
Could abide no longer
Straight he took his rifle
And set forth to find them
Hey, his nine fair children.
On he roamed to where the bridge lay,
Found where the wondrous stags had crossed it
Nine enchanted stags had passed there
Swiftly then their trail he followed
Reached at last a cooling wellspring,
Nine stags astanding. Falling on one knee,
Hey, he sighted on the leader.

Ai! But the largest stag gave answer
Ai! Of all the sons the dearest,
Ai! Called in answer to his father:
"Dearest, loving father,
Aim not at thy children!
Or surely our antlers
Must pierce thee and pin thee,
Must hammer and hurl thee,
Crashing valley to valley,
And boulder to boulder,
and mountain to mountain,
Will dash thee, smash thee, slash thee
Crashing cliff to crater,
Flesh be paste and bones be powder,
Naught but dust survive thee,

Then the loving father
Called unto his children,
And grieving answered,
pleading called
unto his children:
"Oh, my dearest loved ones,
Oh, my darling children,
Come, oh come,
and follow home now,
Come now,
your sweet mother waits you.
Come with me,
my children,
Your mother stands waiting, lonely,
Loving, grieving,
all to herself alone.
The lanterns are lit.
The tables are set
The glasses are filled
As glasses stand waiting,
So does your mother stand,
As wine in them brimming,
So, too, your mother's eyes."

Yet again the leader,
Dearest of all children
Called aloud and answered thus
Unto his father:
"Dearest loving father,
Go back, oh, go home now
To our lonely, dear, sweet mother,
But we cannot go!
We shall never return,
Because our antlers
Cannot pass thy doorway,
Only roam the forest groves;
And our slender bodies
Ne'er in clothes can wander,
Only wear the wind and sun;
And our dainty legs can
Never stand the hearthstone,
Nor tread but leafy mold;
And our mouths no longer
Drink from crystal glasses
But only mountain springs."

Once there was an old man,
One, who treasured nine sons
Fair and sturdy
Naught of work he taught them,
Neither trade nor farming,
But only to wander as
Nine huntsman ahunting.
And farther, farther
On and on they wandered.
All were changed to stags then,
There in the forest shadows.
And so their antlers
Cannot pass through doorways,
Only roam the forest groves;
Their slender bodies
Ne'er in clothes can wander
Only wear the wind and sun,
Their dainty legs
Can never stand the hearthstone,
Only tread the leafy mold;
Their mouths no longer
Drink from crystal glasses
Only from clear springs.

------------
I can't really explain why I like it so much. Here is the last part, which tells the end of the story.("Csak tiszta forrásból" is "clear mountain streams)...

Judas Priest - Electric Eye

Quote:
Up here in space
I’m looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do

You think youve private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I’m watching all the time

I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye

Always in focus
You cant feel my stare
I zoom into you
You dont know Im there

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
Theres nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows

I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy
Im protected electric eye

Protected. detective. electric eye

Man does THAT ever sound familiar these days!

FREM: I keep telling my dd, the way they control the music is not by going after EVERYONE, but by grabbing one or two people at random and spiking their heads at the city gates. Kinda like the police tactic in Toronto... don't move the WHOLE crowd, just rush in and grab ONE person... usually someone behind the front line. The answer to that, of course, would be to link arms. I wonder what would happen if people got together enough, if knowing which jurisdiction the trial was being held in, turning themselves in by the thousands and clogging the justice system.

Speaking of bad-ass guitar gods, here's one of my childhood favorites, Uli John Roth, playing one of the songs he wrote way back when he was playing with Scorpions (1977):

Sure most that play will say pop music is often simple, a catchy child like primitive melody, not complex so its not hard for a software AI to do a simple Rap electronic thing or 'Rave' techno sound or 2 chord, 3 or 4 Chord Pop song and disco groove should not be difficult for an advanced machine. I might have an 'ear' for some beat or notes or musical sounds I've also played around and cut and layered audio and sound files on a computer so I guess I'm not totally ignorant of the 'Art'. Artificial Intelligence is getting better at this stuff, it sounds less 'Square' the voices and instruments sound more real. There might be a time when a musician or vocalist or expert might not even know the difference because AI will have advanced so much it starts adding elements, slight imperfection or accent or swing a note that sound 'human' just like the real recordings, it is moving on to Jazz, world music sounds and Classic music which is freaking out some musicians. The Audio Engineer was almost a job of Wizardy a guy with headphones, he literally had to cut the tape, audio effects, sound reinforcement, layer mixing, instruments reproduction, he had to know when to cut the tape and when not to cut just as film reels were cut, once computers had the power to handle digital audio editing in the 80s and 90s and analog slowly changed to digital, it gave 'The-Machine' an opportunity to learn everything humans do on 'Garage Band' or 'Qtractor' or Audacity or MusE sequencer and Digital Mixing Desks, playing might be different but its a matter of programming and computing power to copy a Guitar or Bass, the Drumming guy was one of the first replaced with an Artificial Drum Machine, Lyrics and Singing might be Different but even that can be learned with AI now doing poetry and it also has the possibility to mimic vocal and lyrics, will AI be as 'creative' as a human I'm not sure but it is already foolish people that it is in fact a real person with its Chatbots.

The pop music is really easy for the AI to do because the vocals were already "sweetened" with auto-tune in the first place in many cases.

If you do a search, you're going to find a ton of believable AI generated songs for Britney Spears and Ariana Grande. I think it's going to be a while before AI can make Brandi Carlisle sing something she never sang before and make it sound realistic.

Vivek G. Ramaswamy
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2006/12/13/vivek-g-ramaswamy-if-you
-think/
If you think that debater-extraordinaire Vivek G. Ramaswamy ’07 is intense, you obviously haven’t met “Da Vek.”

“It’s the most shocking transformation someone will ever undergo” says Michael B. Chow ’07 of Ramaswamy’s rapper alter-ego. Though “Da Vek” raps libertarian prose with the utmost of ease, don’t expect to see him in section. The rapper, who fearlessly showed off his skills at the Busta Rhymes concert in spring 2004, only emerges when Ramaswamy is outfitted entirely in black, complete with a black Kangol hat. “They’re two completely different people,” says Chow.

When “Da Vek” goes into hiding, “The Chairman”—the nickname coined for Ramaswamy during his tenure at the Harvard Political Union—comes out to play. “I consider myself a contrarian,” Ramaswamy affirms. “I like to argue.”

The Kirkland House biology concentrator has quenched his thirst for debate through his involvement with the Institute of Politics and debating for the Harvard Republican Club.

Ramaswamy, who was raised in a traditional Hindu family but attended a Catholic high school, describes Harvard as the ideal playground for intellectual sport. He affirms that “Harvard teaches you to be a better questioner…you can be heard even if you aren’t in the mainstream.”

In addition to rapping and politicking, Ramaswamy is one of three College representatives on the Presidential Search Committee and is involved with the South Asian Association, club tennis, and intramural sports. “Vivek has a boundless capacity to get things done,” says friend Nicholas R. Green ’07.

Though described as fearless by his peers, when reflecting on his undergraduate career, Ramaswamy admits that he would’ve been “a little more tactful” if he could start over.

He offers rapper Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” as his life’s theme song. “I think that children should be forced to listen to it,” Ramaswamy says, “the edited version, of course.”

Heard this one on the radio the first time last night.

The odd combo of Mumford & Sons with Pharrel Williams really compliments each other.

I've liked Williams' stuff all the way back when he did Grindin' with Clipse (featured in the Jamie Kennedy movie Malibu's Most Wanted). He also did "Happy" and "Blurred Lines" with Robin Thicke.

Dude's done a ton of stuff as a producer that I didn't even know. He's worked with everyone from Madonna to Gwen Stefani to Wreckx-nEffect to Maroon 5 to Jay-Z. He's even even written songs for cartoon movies like Despicable Me.

Talented guy.

It's no wonder this song sounds so different from anything Mumford and Sons has done before. I like how they start it off with a banjo as is customary for every Mumford song ever played on the radio but then the record scratch comes in and the song is completely different.

I wonder if this song is in any way related to the fact that the Leftist Cancel Pigs went after Winston Marshall in 2021. He split from the band after that so he could exercise free speech without involving them.

This one was on today. I've heard it before but made a note to find it this time.

White Reaper. They did another song I put in the music threads a few years ago.

I really like their sound.

It's interesting that in the chorus of "Pages" they pronounce the word "Intricate" the way they do, to make it rhyme with "Complicated".

I remember in their song Might Be Right I thought the lyrics in the chorus were "I'm always for, a little schadenfreude" but they changed the pronunciation of schadenfreude to make it rhyme with what I thought was "I'm always for".

No... They lyrics are "I always fall, a little short in front of you".

I just thought it was funny to just now see that they actually DID change the pronunciation of a word to rhyme in their chorus in another song.

I heard this one for the first time yesterday and again today and liked what I was hearing. But today when I listened a bit more intently and heard the chorus for the first time and the fact that they obviously dropped the F Bomb quite a few times in the song but the radio station was playing a version where it simply wasn't spoken.

Sure enough, I was right.

Not a song that sounds like it would have an F Bomb in it.

Made me think of The Dan Band doing Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Because of the timing...

I dunno man. Fuck Jack black and the idiot nobody remembers for saying that, but I don't think I want to live in an America where the secret service is going to come banging down your door for speaking your mind.

Second would have been thrown in prison for the rest of his life already for what he's said here.

I'm rooting for Borderlands to fail or for Lionsgate to ADR over his voice with the original voice of claptrap from the games. But I don't want to see Jack or his buddy thrown in the gulag for what they said.
