I still don't see the point in writing off My Morning Jacket because you don't like the band name, but that's cool.

Because I wouldn't want to be embarrassed simply by mentioning the name of a band I listen to? I actively avoid embarrassing things.

U2 and Porcupine Tree are bad enough for me.

 

[LemonMelon]

Shock metal? I'm not even seeing the connection to Cannibal Corpse.

Yeah, Spoon's a shocker.

No, not Cannibal Corpse exactly...the mental picture is more akin to this:

 

[LMP]

Glad you see it that way. I thought it came across rude but LM put me in a bad mood so I couldn't be arsed phrasing it in a nicer way.

I trust your judgment on the mood/production of music, but not individual taste. Again, no big deal about that. An improvement over the D+?

I understand that, just wondering why you said it is all.

 

[Axver]

... I'm still not seeing the connection there, LM.

Scorched Earth Policy is the one Dunedin Sound/Flying Nun band whose name I think sounds more like a metal band of some description.

From the guy that listens to metal often, arguably the most made-fun-of genre of music apart from bubblegum pop, I don't see why you'd worry about that. Not knocking that you like it, just stating a fact.

Death Cab for Cutie's a terrible band name, love their music though.

 

[LemonMelon]

To be honest, I've had a few conversations with L-Mel, aka Flow-Jo, about flow and such, but really don't think I got too much from him. If anything, I see it as a natural progression from my last list, but it's more diverse and stronger from start-to-finish. The songs, however, aren't as great, but that's due to the fact that I've used a lot of my absolute favorite songs already.

Yeah, you either have flow or you don't. Doesn't come from osmosis, that's for sure. Otherwise we'd all be atmosphere geniuses after these discussions with Axver and Screwy.

I'd definitely give this one at least a C/C+. Ignoring the actual quality of the songs and going simply for flow, cohesion, and all that stuff, you're breaking into A territory. If our tastes were more similar, I know I'd love listening to your tracklists because you put them together well.

Awesome, same with yours. I'm glad we see eye-to-eye on this.

At least you take the time to listen. I know for a fact that Soundscape Expert Screwy does not and actively votes against me because it's me, I've got the proof, fellas.

The name is Straitjacket Fits...the guy is in a straitjacket...I dunno.


Scorched Earth Policy sounds like a band name Al Gore would come up with.

Yeah, but I tend to join in on making fun of thrash metal, hair metal, NWOBHM, grindcore, metalcore, and the more juvenile side of death and black metal. I think there's quite a difference in band name quality between, say, Cynic and Killswitch Engage.

 

[LMP]

After saying Straitjacket Fits out loud... yeah, it is a lame name. Dire Straits, however, is an awesome name no matter what.

See, I don't know very many delineations of metal except for Hair Metal and Death Metal, so you lose me a bit there. Sometimes I think you invent the genres as you go.

They're similar in a way, but I agree, Dire Straits is brilliant.

Really? I expected a little better from him.

I am hopeful you'll enjoy my DI V tracklist a bit more than my past entries. I've just got to get it transferred over to this computer from the one without Internet access so that I can upload it.

You've got the wrong accent, though.

Every vowel should be pronounced something close to a 'u'. Every vowel.

And yeah, Dire Straits is a great name. I just wish all their material were as good as Telegraph Road.

 

[Axver]

Metal's genre delineations can get absolutely ridiculous. It is often genuinely helpful, but when you get to the point of describing something as atmospheric folk black metal or blackened goregrind, you know you've crossed a line.

There's even such a thing as porngrind ...

A tad redundant, but I can dig it.

I did, too. But hey, he's full of shit all of the time anyway, so why not in music playlists? Just One Victory for the Brave Romantic Warrior.

I hope I enjoy it as well.

After yesterday, I'm really curious to see what he cooks up for DI5. Maybe a list full of tribute bands entitled "The Cycle Is Broken"?

 

[LMP]

God, I might have to change my title to that now.

Sit Back and Enjoy the Soundscapes is too classic though.

Pwnage.

I still feel my tracklist is overloaded by post-rock and instrumentals, but ... it all works together and I'm not sure what'd replace it. I'll get it uploaded soon and see what you guys think.

Agreed. Both are Screwy-influenced, so I'm sure he'll understand you sitting one for the moment.

Plus, your idea to use a Gin Blossoms song will work great with that title.

He pwns himself regularly. This being one of my favorites:

Here are my award picks:

Best Cover: 1. LemonMacPhisto 2. Supertracklist 3. Lancemc

I think Most Creative and Most Unique are two very different things because the most unique isn't neccessarily the most creative. I leave people the right to define those two though.

Sounds like a HUGE improvement to me.


Prepare yourself for the soundscapes I've cooked up; they make Star/Pointro seem merciful.

 

[LMP]

I think I've struck a happy balance with making DI lists I'm proud of while making fun of people in the process.

 

[Axver]

Trying to come up with a title for my DI V list has been bloody impossible. Maybe I should steal LMP's Sit Back and Enjoy the Soundscapes so that he can use The Cycle is Broken.

Here's your title and you even made it yourself: Paradigm of Art.

If we all made paragraphs riffing on this guy, I would love it.

Can I just copy/paste my story for the Fake List instead?

 

[Axver]

Sounds like a HUGE improvement to me.

This is the start:

1. Pink Floyd - "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)" - Wish You Were Here (13:40)
2. Eluvium - "An Accidental Memory In The Case Of Death" - An Accidental Memory In The Case Of Death (4:23)
3. 65 Days Of Static - "Radio Protector" - One Time For All Time (5:26)
4. Explosions In The Sky - "First Breath After Coma" - The Earth Is Not A Cold, Dead Place (9:33)

The Floyd song with the unnecessary sax solo?

It's one of my favorites, so good job there.
