Strings in pop and rock - the easy way to get a shit song on the radio.

i don't think lit are genuinely a good band, actually. i have a huge sentimental attachment from middle school, someone gave me a lit cd and i liked it and got another. they're a guilty pleasure that i don't even indulge in very often.

you could start an LS or OOC thread for hobby pictures - your trains, ian's planes and stadiums. if i uploaded pics i'd share baseball pics or something. i'm sure others have picture hobbies...but you'd then have to talk to them and not just superthreaders

I don't know. It's a good idea, but I do enjoy just sharing amongst a small group.

I bet a thread like that will get swamped by "OMG U2 IS MY HOBBYYY LOOK AT MY BAWNO PIX!!!!!!!"

i've also only heard their middle two cds, and for some reason amazon won't let me install the plugin to listen to a smaple of the other two...and i can't be bothered to click on each of the songs

It's all pretty good, kind of a lot of the same though as far as late 90s/00s alt -rock is concerned. I really did like the first song a lot though.

you could specify that it's non-bono.

you could also make it only modes of transit to make it more niche. or non-personal things (no cats, tattoos, etc)

Baseball pics

I took sooo many pictures at the Cubs home opener. what a fantastic day that was.

Sport pics


I was going to bring my camera to the Warriors game last Sunday, but i don't think it's monsoon-proof

I wasn't paying out Lit specifically, I wasn't listening one of their songs. I think there are good pop/rock songs with strings. But I will say that there a lot of downright terrible ones, and they all become radio hits just because they have an orchestra holding A for 3 and a half minutes. It's really frustrating and predictable.

 

[coolian2]

Perhaps just keep the pic thread on OOC

 

[Axver]

More of the G for Ian.

OK, so I just want to post train pics.

true. and yeah, that's their best song by a long shot, though miserable still makes me giggle from when i was 12. i'll email it to you if you want.

I see what you're saying SP, sometimes, yeah the strings are unnecessary, but when they belong, they're amazing.

fair, i wasn't actually insulted. and i agree. though sometimes i fall for that weepy strings or piano shit. like that vanessa carlton song. i think i played that on the piano at one point. and the 100 years song. i'm a sucker.

Ah, now that might be a good idea/ Transport/Infrastructure photos. Then Ian can get his stadiums in too.

if you'd email me the happiness one I'd really appreciate it

Regarding strings, on a related note, I really hate it when bands decide to do a "special" concert with an orchestra. See: Metallica, Dream Theater, U2 doing OOTS in Milan.

It is never really that good, and a total wasted effort.

 

[bono_212]

I take pictures of the stupidest crap. Especially food. For some reason I can't resist taking a picture of what I'm eating if I have a camera on me.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I won't argue with that - strings were integral to a lot of 60s and 70s pop and soul. And they were some of the best songs ever written. And I like the strings in HMTMKMKM, too. Also some more recent stuff. But in most cases today, it's pretty cheap and unnecessary.

Oh, and you can just call me Bonnie.

I'm going to a restaurant, guys. I hope to be back later, but I'll see how things go for time. Have good ones!

I first used my camera in early January, I think 07/01. From then to now, I have taken 4,142 pictures.

I'm seriously thinking about taking a photography course.

 

[bono_212]

I can't stop eating...I'm so stressed about my last final.

i looped around the numbering of my old camera several times, though it also got dropped and reset a few times. i also had it for like 4 years. i'm still using it despite the new ones; i bring it to drunken events with friends so i don't have to worry as much about it.

 

[coolian2]

Although you haven't lived until you've made of point of risking personal safety to photograph a disused stadium
