Random Music Talk LXXIX: A Tradition Like Many Others

[GirlsAloudFan]

So I've finally got the balls to post my cover of Bad Romance:

GirlsAloudFan covering Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance". - YouTube

Be nice.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Things are looking up, finally.
Never thought I'd see the day when you smile at me.

It's not a dream anymore.
It's worth fighting for.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I fucking love Paramore, you guys.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

No sir.
I don't want to be the blame.
Not anymore.
It's your turn.
Take a seat.
We're settling.
The final score.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Scraped my knees while I was praying.
Found a demon in my safest haven.
It's getting harder to believe.
In all my selfish thoughts.
I want to know what it'd be like.
To see perfection in my pride.
To see nothing in the light.

Turn it off.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the freefall
I realize
I'm better off
When I hit the bottom (bottle?)

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

People that talk shit about bands/artists without ever really listening to the music are the worst kind of people.

If you've heard the albums and you don't like them, that's great. Otherwise, shut the motherfucking fuck up. Shut up. Shut the fuck up.

Today really is a field day for album announcements it seems. Sigur Ros, Deerhunter and QOTSA.

 

[iron yuppie]

Eugene, Oregon: the whitest place on the planet?

 

[bono_212]

Gaf cover songs?

 

[cobl04]

Damn, Bonobo's a thing I've been meaning to check out more extensively for a while. Really like what I've heard in the past. It wouldn't be completely awful to Cobbler the new one, would it?

That's what I'll be doing.

 

[U2inUtah]

I fucking love Paramore, you guys.

My buddy got to meet them yesterday. He's a local radio DJ.

[Jive Turkey]

I'd totally bang gaf

How is that gremlin on the right the same girl from the video gaf posted??

 

[Danny Boy]

She ate after midnight?

 

[bollox]

Apparently Arcade Fire has been moonlighting as Harvard's pep band . . .

So the leg of the Mumford & Sons tour that Deap Vally was opening on ended tonight, and the girls were brought out on stage during the main set for a cover of Marvin Gaye's Baby Don't You Do It, via the famous version by The Band.

They let Lindsey from DV get on the mike (2:20) and the crowd gave her a great response.

Apparently the M&S guys are very nice. Still think their music is lame.

[cobl04]

How upset would you be if one of the girls had sexual relations with a Mumford Son?

DB that dunk is fuckin nuts!

 

[Danny Boy]

DB that dunk is fuckin nuts!

From earlier tonight. And that's a 15 seed taking down a 2 seed in the NCAA tourney. (Not sure how well that translates in Oz.)

 

[lazarus]

Also, I imagine this is about as good as the Harlem Shake is going to get.

The 15th ranked college basketball team taking down the 2nd ranked college

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Awesome dunk, despite the damage Florida Gulf Coast dealt to my bracket.

 

[Danny Boy]

The 15th ranked college basketball team taking down the 2nd ranked college

Not quite. 64 teams qualify for the tournament and they are divided into four 16-team regions. A lot of the higher seeds are automatic qualifiers from minor conferences, so a 15 seed is a completely unranked nobody.

It's a huge upset.

 

[bollox]

Also the b-ball program at FGC is like 5 years old with this just their 2nd year of tournament eligibility whilst Georgetown is a historically dominant program.

 

[IWasBored]

Hax. RL hax.

This tourney is turning insane.

I had someone tell me today that Georgetown was THE team to watch. I can't wait to see him next week.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fighting Illini.

 

[PhilsFan]

Fighting Illini.

I have them beating Miami.

 

[PhilsFan]

Not quite. 64 teams qualify for the tournament and they are divided into four 16-team regions. A lot of the higher seeds are automatic qualifiers from minor conferences, so a 15 seed is a completely unranked nobody.

It's a huge upset.

I do love the strangeness of seeds 1-12 or 13 being the 50 or so best teams and then an absolute free fall scattering random teams all the way down to, what the 200th best team? March Madness is the best.
