So philanthropic he spent at least $1,700 to send his hat on a first-class flight to Italy. For the record he's one of my favourite singers sound-wise and style-wise, and I do like U2's music, but the man is a bloody flaming pretentious hypocrite nonetheless, and it's hilarious.

hurf durf i troll you Anyways... Compiling a list of soundtracks I have currently, for posterity or something. Alphabetical order, not by favorite, as that'd be hard/. Besides this, I've got maybe twenty songs in my music folder, because bands in general usually only have one or two good songs, because music with lyrics is only good when the lyrics don't sound like they're trying to mug the music with a kitchen knife and a pen laser. Ace Combat 6(what I've been listening to for the past week) Advent Rising(top on my "if only the game was as good as the music" list) Bionicle(no movie soundtracks, just one of the huge packs that's floating around) Bubblegum Crisis(original, Crash, and 2040, but only the really good songs) Chaos Gate(old 40K game, Ominous Fake-Latin Chanting) Halo 2(minus the "Movements of the Odyssey" tracks because they suck, also minus all the bonus songs by horrible bands, including Never Surrender) Halo 3(no Halo 1 because I like the orchestral versions from H3 more) Homeworld 2(though tbh the soundtrack's only really good when playing the game, as it only works properly which matching visuals) Mass Effect(what the Transformers soundtrack wishes it was, but better) Republic Commando(ever notice how most of the good Star Wars games are the ones without the generic soundtrack?) The War Of The Worlds(technically a musical, not a soundtrack, but whatever) Traitor General(the only soundtrack I can think of that was made for a book, also legally free with a little Google-fu, search John Bergin) Misc music is wierd stuff; This Vicious Cabaret, Still Alive, Assault on Precinct 13 theme, various Lemon Demon, SoaD, and a few other bands. --- Also feel free to point out any typos, this was written while reading a comic, browsing six different forums, and NOMing a huge plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies with milk so I was probably typing one-handed for at least half the entry.

Simple I am Simple I go A few simple luxuries are all I know (And all I need) A simple man I have no home For all my life I choose to roam (Down my own road) The simplest life Is all I'll take When everything is hollow and fake (So full of lies) A basic life is all I need But if I could have just one more thing (chorus [Not at ALL satisfied with it...]) Your face Mine to Embrace I won't let go I'm haunted by the memory of you Simple I was Now I fade My simple life for you I gave (Gave it all) Empty I am Broken, sullen and scarred As I walk toward my grave (It beckons me) (chorus) As I drift among the dead A thousand memories Flooding my head Flooding my head I gave it all for one simple thing My haunted voice for you it sings (chorus) Calm, collected Hollow, fake I have become something real I have become nothing

YESYESYES Also, three more reasons September is a good month:
-
Now the king told the boogey men, you have to let that raga drop.
-
Elston Gunn is one of the very few people I feel every single person with a music library should have at least one full album from. He is also one of my favourite human beings if he is one. Do yourself a favour and get some of his music if you haven't already.

Begone! Heh, awesome song. Nice music video.

This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen Turn to a miracle High alive My mind is racing As it always will My hand is tired, my heart aches I'm half a world away here My head sworn To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it Go it alone Hold it along and hold, hold This lonely deep sit hollow I'm half a world Half the world away My shoes are gone My life spent I had too much to drink I didn't think And I didn't think of you I guess that's all I needed To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall and hold, hold Oh, this lonely world is wasted Pathetic eyes high alive Blind to the tide that turns the sea This storm it came up strong It shook the trees And blew away our fear I couldn't even hear To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it Blackbirds, backwards, forwards, and fall and hold hold This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen Turn to a miracle High alive My mind is racing As it always will My hands tired, my heart aches I'm half a world away and go "Half a world away" by R.E.M.

Bye bye, Babylon Now scattered you will run Left burning in the sun Prepare to be.. Bye Bye Babylon Be gone.

Definitely one of the oddest concerts I've been too, given the surrounding events. I missed Steel Panthers (some 80's glam metal band that isn't actually from the 80's) and Static-X (which was very disappointing, as I had wanted to see them), though we did catch a few chords wafting from the arena as we drove up. My friend's girlfriend didn't get off work until 3, which is why we missed them, but is k. Turns out said friend didn't even get to come, as he was invited to another friends going away party (which apparently I didn't get invited to? But whatevs). So in the end, it was his girlfriend (who is also an awesome person), her friend (who beats me a lot >>), her boyfriend, and the original friend's roomate (a nerd, but an amusing one). So, five people. Saliva were on when we finally got to our seats, and they weren't too bad. I'm not a big fan of Saliva, they're just a little... generic. It wasn't bad or anything, just nothing to get out of my seat for. In the interim of Saliva and Chevelle, I saw three of my friends from school (who were apparently also not invited to the going away party), and another friend who I work out with, so it was kinda random, but awesome. Chevelle was pretty amazing. The guys in front of us didn't like em as much, but whatever, they were fantastic. There was a bit of a problem with the mic at first, but it quickly went away. There was nothing super special about the performance itself, but the music played was fantastic, and really refreshing just to hear it played live. I recognized most of the songs, and they even played a song that wasn't a single of theirs that I really liked, which was amaaaaaazing. After a break, Mudvayne came right out and just rocked the house. Everybody stood up right away, and they just dominated the entire arena. They played all of the fan favorite, Dig, Happy, Fall Into Sleep, and some older songs, as well as a new song from their new album. All in all, it was just a fantastic, it was basically what I go to those concerts for. Then, there was supposed to be Slipknot. Unfortunately, the drummer, Joey Jordison, had been sent to the hospital, and Slipknot was not able to play. They told us that he was okay, and promised to reimburse us when they came back in a few months. That's the second time they've been hurt there. Last year at Mayhem Fest, the turntabilist broke both his legs. White River Amphitheater is an injury inducing place, apparently. So, all in all, not too bad, and hopefully the drummer recovers. Free concert the next time they show up, so that's nice.

Today's song of the moment is the theme song for the animated movie Pocahontas. I am, of course, talking about the beautiful "Colors of the Wind" by Vanessa Williams. I have always liked this song, even though I haven't heard it in many years, until recently. You think you own whatever land you land on Earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You learn things you never knew You never knew Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once never wonder what they're worth The rainstorm and the river are my brothers And the heron and the otter are my friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle in a hoop that never ends Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? or let the eagle tell you where hes been can you sing with all the voices of the mountain can you paint with all the colors of the wind can you paint with all the colors of the wind How high does the sycamore grow If you cut it down, then you'll never know And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon For whether we are white or copper - skinned We just sing with all the voices of the mountain Need to paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the earth and still All you'll own is earth until You can paint with all colors of the wind.

To be very simple; Robin Trower's coming here September 13th. Tickets are only $25. I could use an excuse to hear some good live music and get out of the house. I've only recently heard of Trower though, and while I'm impressed, I've yet to find a CD of his at a local record shop that I love, and as such Bridge Of Sighs is the only song I know by him. Being a singer/guitarist though, I can appreciate the gig if the guitarist and vocalist both have stellar musicianship and tone, albeit I also like powerful bassists, drummers and keyboardists, but that's for another entry. So, basically, living legend I've heard of but only know one song by, worth $25 and a night of my September or no?

Severely underrated compositions. I love hearing those classic old 8-bit pieces played by entire orchestras, or even a four-piece rock band. Either way though, they deserve much more recognition than they get I think, they're better than the instrumental albums some artists put out nowadays. *Raises flameshield for that last bit*

..tried to kill the metal. HAHAHAHA! But they failed! As they were thrown to the ground. YAAAAAAAAAH! Nenny-eddle-eddle-lenny-eddle-eddle-lenny-eh.. Memoria.

You know that I would be a liar, if I was to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher. Come on baby light My Fire... ~ Jim Morrison of The Doors, Light My Fire, circa August, 1966 I love The Doors. Ray's keyboard/organ playing is amongst my favourite(Plus on top of that he also covered the bass), and Jim's easily one of my favourite vocalists, without a doubt in the top three. At least the debut album is worth having to anyone who likes that kind of mid-late 60's psychedelia/early hard rock kind of sound. What brought this up all of a sudden? Well, I had my first vocal lesson today. My singing instructor said I sing somewhat like Jim Morrison. As I mentioned above, The Lizard King is one of my absolute favourite singers, so this made me incredibly happy, and I figured I'd give The Doors a plug here while I'm at it.

..they make no sense I found this in ignorance The less you hear the less you say Over and over again. Just like before. Memoria.
-
..may or may not be awesome. Going on Taka Nuvia's word I bought The Very Beast of Dio, hopefully it'll be good.. Although any band with a cover and CD art that awesome has to be. Ripping now, I'll listen tonite. Memoria.

"A lead zeppelin!" ~Keith Moon, 1966, to London session musician and at-the-time Yardbirds member Jimmy Page. Legendary? Yes. A good listen? Yes. Overrated? Heck yes. Not to say they're bad, but people treat them like gods. They're good, but not that good. The self-titled albums are very much worth having. Particularly I and IV to me.

Music is fact, not opinion. The fact that you can play the same band to two different people and they get two entirely different things out of it is why I love music. Music is seperated into three categories: Good, Decent, and Bad. What classifies this is not my personal opinion of the band but the fact that the way they play their music is related to their self-categorization, their peers and generally all other music ever created. There are many ways to know if a band is good. If a band has meaningful lyrics sung by a singer that doesn't blindly scream them into the microphone (so as not to cut out any of the metal genres) then that band has a good vocal ensemble- therefore it is at least worth listening to. If the guitarist builds upon himself, and repeats only in necessary parts and creates a chord progression that sounds natural to the ear and is supportive of the guitar as a seperate instrument from the band, then the band is worth listening to. If the bassist follows the pattern of the guitar off beat 1/2 or 1/4 within the same scale and keeps a backing beat with the drums, and can stand out as it's own instrument then the band is worth listening to. If the drummer can keep in beat with the bass and the rest of the song (Cymbal every 1/2, kick every 1/4, snare every beat etc etc) and when the time comes if that drummer can stand his own then the band is worth listening to. If the guitar fuses with the backing track to make something more melodic than either track on it's own and can stand out on it's own without the lyrics then the band is worth listening to. If the vocals can stand out as an a Capella with some melody, or if they can fuse into the music and use the guitar as part of the voice to amplify it, then the band is worth listening to. These are qualities that describe good music, and good music is good music regardless of what me or you think about it. Music, as I said earlier, is not objective and cannot be judged by what you like in a band. It must be judged by looking at the performance of each instrumentalist and then the band as a whole, if the band cannot get what it wants to do straight (ie the guitarist is doing 1234 or tremolo picked riffs and the bassist is doing count off beat and drummer is doing slow dance) then it obviously doesn't work well together and should be disbanded for several different bands to emerge that are more than likely better than the previous. Now, bands should also evolve with age- they shouldn't change completely (ie Panic! At the Disco's change) but rather subtly change (ie Green Day or AFI's change) slowly. As well, popularity doesn't mean the band is bad, it just means it may not be perfect. Mediocre and bad music is judged exactly as good music is, by looking at all the parts and deciding what their compatability is. Mediocre music, for a better description of it at least, is simply mostly good music but has at least one thing holding it back from melding perfectly. Bad music has no compatable parts and is generally not actually played by the artist (techno is an exception, I'll explain later). A good example of bad music would be Soulja Boy or Dragonforce. Soulja Boy is bad simply because his lyrics have no depth, are stereotypical rap lyrics, he doesn't keep the beat even when he raps and he essentially did the same song for every track on his album only he would bring in a friend for each song. Dragonforce is bad because the main guitarist who everyone puts on a pedastal cannot play guitar to save his life. He speeds up his guitar playing in studio, and live. I'm not sure whether this is fact or fiction but it may be because of him that all their songs sound the same and have essentially the same lyrics because it may be the only song he can actually play. I'm sure if they kicked him out they'd be an amazing Power Metal band. Now, to explain why Techno isn't bad music despite not being "played" by the artist. Take a look at Richard D. James (Aphex Twin). He uses the sounds and harsh fast beat to form a soundscape that sticks in your mind and leaves you dumbfounded. Daft Punk for a more popular example, essentially play the keyboards and synth as if they were the actual instruments and add lyrics to their songs. Along with that they also do instrumentals that are soundscapes that relate the rest of the album together. Sorry for all the entry level garbage in this part, but I'm relatively a noob at Techno.

I've made an observation while listening to it. Album versions of songs > single versions. Seriously, if you want to get the song and not the rest of the album find the album and just rip that one song, don't get the singles or the Greatest Hits CD's that probably have the versions from the singles. You'll be treated to a much more rewarding song.
