The 'Desert Island Game Running Diary' Thread Pt 3 (NO LINKS!)

[Zoots]

Gorillaz was okay but didn't do too much for me... Transitioning into Passengers not bad... this song of course is amazing! I liked the Ours track. I didn't think it transitioned well into Rejoice. Rejoice is such a killer track, maybe the best on Oct along with Gloria. Trail of Dead song started well but I lost interest at some point, lol. Pigs is of course classic! Looks like a great bunch of tracks coming up now from Queen, Pearl Jam and The Who.

 

[Zoots]

Ha! Death On Two Legs into Evenflow was a funny and yet really good transition! Who Are You.. love it! Bravery... I'm really digging this song!

 

[Zoots]

Moving Pictures was okay. Genesis.. good song. Police.. great song! Steely Dan/Chicago transition was so money! REM.. fucking sweet song! Beatles/Dylan cool. Nice closer from the Boss.

Even though certain songs didn't do much for me, I enjoyed the list overall!

Thanks for the input, Zoots.

I've not been listening to lists because I've been sick and cannot concentrate.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I HAVE COMPILED EVERYTHING AND WILL UPLOAD IT WHEN MY INTERNET ALLOWS ME TO DO SO

THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU LIKE ALL CAPS

This is Reggo doing her official running diary of Travis' DI List Supermassive Black Cherub Metal / #9 Dream.

Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins: The military drumrolls grabbed my attention from the start. Then it goes into the Pumpkin's trademark driving rock. I really like this song.

 

[Reggo]

Broken Face - The Pixies. Silly, driving, half-thrash punk with no professional production is my favourite genre of music. Win.

This running diary has been paused due to technical difficulties. iTunes freaked out at me.

I've stopped a few in my time. Rain delays.

 

[Reggo]

Alright, back from the reboot and I've got my iPod so I don't have to deal with Vista being retarded.

 

[Reggo]

Dr. Rock - Ween: I'd like it better without the vocal effects. Those annoy me on any song. Fully awesome otherwise.

 

[Reggo]

The Drowners - Suede: I liked this song a lot. Very good contrast with Dr Rock, but still goes with the theme of the tracklisting. I need more by this artist.

 

[Reggo]

Bah, lousy phones.

Kool Thing - Sonic Youth: I rocked out to it.

 

[Reggo]

Sabotage is the best damn Beastie Boys song ever. And if you don't like it, fuck you.

 

[Reggo]

Damn, I love the Beastie Boys.

Moving on.

Connection - Elastica: Very nice, Has a good beat. I was diggin the hand claps.

 

[Reggo]

Supermassive Black Hole - Muse: I don't like Muse, but for the purposes of this DI list, it works very well.

 

[Reggo]

Blackest Eyes - Porcupine Tree: *fears the wrath of Axver*

Just kidding. I love this song. Good way to slow down the list a bit. Still up beat enough to keep interest, but a good slow-down.

 

[Reggo]

Suture Up Your Future - Queers Queens of the Stone Age: One band I passed on when they first came out. This song's okay, fits with everything else, bass line's got my ear's attention, but can't really get into it.

 

[Reggo]

You're So Great - Blur: A departure from what I'm used to from them (Song 2, etc), but very good. Nice acoustic number.

 

[Reggo]

I Don't Wanna Grow Up - Tom Waits : Not sure if this song is used for lulz, but it made me

 

[Reggo]

Holland, 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel: never heard this song before, but I really enjoyed it. Kind of a goofy beat, random trumpet in the background. Win.

 

[Reggo]

Short Skirt/ Long Jacket - Cake: One of my favourite songs. SuperWin.

 

[Reggo]

Last Exit - Pearl Jam: driving bass beat, good way to continue Cake's bringing the list back up to speed.

 

[Reggo]

Mambo Sun - T. Rex: Kinda funky, which is good. I like.

 

[Reggo]

Sweet Lady - Queen : A song from one of my favourite artists I've never heard before. Continues the funk of Mambo Sun.

 

[Reggo]

Ramble On - Led Zeppelin : More funk. More awesomeness. Epic Win.

 

[Reggo]

Afterglow (Of Your Love) - Small Faces: Very similar to the intro of Ramble On. Very cool.

 

[Reggo]

Feelin' - The La's : Interesting. Nearly Beatlesque. 60's pop-ish. I dug it.

 

[Reggo]

Marquee Moon - Television: Very awesome. My head was bopping. I like that this ends the first CD. Would flow well into Modest Mouse, if you were to listen to both at the same time. Which I unfortunately am not able to do due to time constraints. Damn work. Tomorrow, traviud!

All in all, I'd rate it an 8/10.

 

[LemonMelon]

Glad you liked it. I think you'll dig the second list's flow, but the songs, maybe not quite as much.
