Random Music Talk LXXIV: No witty reference, but at least it's not Cobbler?

Magnolia's a girl, her heart's made of wood
As apocalypses go, that's pretty good
Sha-la-la, wouldn't you say

Yeah, the little moments in songs that are magical to a person are certainly worth talking about. And like, COBL, I never know the musical language to properly describe, I can just tell you the time it happens, etc.

Yeah, I'm not good at the technical musical terms and that sort of thing, either. Usually when I describe a song to someone, I do so using whatever images the song puts in my head or feelings I have when listening to it.


If a song can allow me to create vivid images in my head when I'm listening to it, allows me to make little pictures or scenes, that's pretty much a clincher in me loving that song/artist. I know some people are attracted to lyrics, some like the technical musical abilities of the musicians-and I do love and certainly appreciate those things, too. But the general atmosphere and imagery a song creates tends to be what hooks me right away most often.

 

[nielsgov]

That song is full of these little brilliant moments you were talking about.

EDIT: what's up with the emoticon?

Niels' true feelings toward cobbler, exposed!

Interference knows me too well I guess.

Ima probably buy this Andy Stott album iYup had on his year end list. Really like the track, Numb (omg, U2 copierz).

I'm embarrassed to say that I've had this since November and never listened to it.

I need to remedy that.

 

[No spoken words]

I don't know who Andy Stott is. Sounds like an IT guy.

When the IT guy at my work gets around to fixing my login, I'll make a thread for it. We're in a new office and nothing is working.

Manchester-based producer/musician. Surely you are up on your Manchester techno scene, NSW.

Ha, weird timing.

Does he ever collaborate with Dr. Luke?

Why are you working on a Sunday evening when the NFL playoffs are on.

BEAST MODE!!!

WIEST MODE!!!

Believe it.

What the hell has happened to Alicia Keys? For this new-ish single, it seems like her intention was to set some kind of record for number of times yelling the word "fire" on a single track.

 

[Danny Boy]

It's obviously an homage to The Edge.

Her voice is what bugs me the most on that song. It sounds raspy, but not in a natural sort of way, it's more like, "I'm just getting over a sore throat/cough" or something.

Yeah. Not one of her strongest songs, no.

 

[cobl04]

I'm not within walking distance and can't get public transport to the nearest JB HiFi at our new office. This is an unmitigated disaster.

I'm back at my apartment up at school. Last semester. Let's roll, you guys.

 

[corianderstem]

Last semester? Already? Holy crap, where has the time gone?

Hahaha.

You got this, Peef.

Peef that shit, Peef.

 

[PhilsFan]

I get slapped in the face by reality again tomorrow too. AGING.

 

[bono_212]

Good luck, Peef! Enjoy every second of it. Things will never be the same once it's over.

I feel your pain. My old job was within walking distance of the only decent vinyl shop in town. My new job is over 10 miles away.

 

[u2popmofo]

My job is 4 feet from the nearest Mormon.
