Thanks to Donnie, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmo584truz8#t=3m10s). Repeatedly.
No, I'm not complaining.

The music video is pretty crazy. XD

That music video is actually what got me into Touhou, and by extension Puella Magi MAdoka Magica, which has a mega-sweet end-credit theme, whihc I can't stop listening to.

Heads up to anyone who might look up that anime: Things get grim around episode 4.

This anime is basically a deconstructionist satire of magical girl style superheros. Expect casualties.

I had to go and listen to the songs other people mentioned. XD

Porcupine Tree, "Lazarus"

Pretty mellow song. :)
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Tvorsk on October 12, 2011, 08:26:12 PM
Awwm c'mon!
I LOVE Porcupine Tree! Check out "Blackest Eyes", maybe? (Also, "Trains", "Deadwing", "Anesthetize"... ;))

And, something I've juuuust posted in another forum (15 minutes ago or so):

So I've just randomly stumbled upon Star One (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_One) today...
and, howlin' squid, I like them. I REALLY like them.

Been listening for last... erm, what? Three hours?! Apparently it's after 5am now...

PS. Dragyn, if you want me to stop spamming your forum, please tell... ^^;

Nope, you're fine.  ^-^

I've been listening to...whatever Pandora spits out, mostly.  Skrillex has a pretty awesome cover of the Legend of Zelda theme.

Hahaha. Dragyn had me save "Intergalactic Space Crusaders" in his music folder when I listened to it... XD
(I'm on his computer because he is using mine to play games... :P )

Hey, Blood, you should check out the second band Tvorsk posted. Dragyn and I think it sounds like something you might like. :)
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Tvorsk on October 30, 2011, 07:53:47 AM
Glad you liked. :)
I've actually bought the live album, from which these Youtube videos are from. 2CD + DVD, something around $20 with shipping.
That's, quite literally, my first purchase of a "real CD" ever. I've bought some albums before, but only as downloads.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Felblood on October 30, 2011, 11:50:44 AM
Holy squid, indeed!

I passed up the links earlier, because I was out of time, so I'm really glad you reminded me to give them a click.

Synth-metal ballads, about exploring new horizons? Yessssss.

Lift-off didn't really do it for me, but once I reached Set your Controls, I was hooked and had to click more.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Tvorsk on October 30, 2011, 01:38:27 PM
It's a bit more crazy than that.
Arjen Lucassen, like Mike Oldfield, does all music by himself, and invites various vocalists to sing for him.
His main "project" is called Ayreon. There, just about every song is different vocalist and so on.
Star One is different, it's a "heavier" project, and with a consistent lineup.
The first album had songs about various "space" movies and shows.
Set Your Controls is Dr.Who, Intergalactic Space Crusaders is Blake's 7, and so on.
(They recorded second album recently, about dystopian movies. Opening track is about The Matrix. ;))
This live album has, of course, more musicians; Arjen plays guitar, but couldn't play everything else himself live at the same time. ;)
Anyway, this live DVD, has some, not all, songs from the first studio album, and a bunch of Ayreon songs performed by the Star One lineup.
And seriously, some of the latter (Isis and Osiris, The Eyes Of Time, so on) sound BETTER than originals.

Anyway, if you're searching on YT, check (all performed by Star One, from the same DVD):
High Moon (that's a Star One song)
Songs Of The Ocean (also Star One song)
Dawn of a Million Souls (that one's Ayreon)
Into The Black Hole (also Ayreon)
Isis And Osiris (Ditto)

From there, I've found out about Ayreon itself, checked out their stuff, and loved it. A bit gentler, but still great music. Maybe you'll like it too. ;)

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) ~ Eurythmics

This song gets stuck in my head, so easily. Why are you so catchy, song? D8
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Dragyn on November 05, 2011, 04:59:03 AM
That song is basically in perpetual repeat in my head.

Very catchy, indeed.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Tvorsk on November 05, 2011, 09:01:49 AM
Probably because the famous odd synthbass baseline in this song happened due to the band accidentally playing the tape in reverse and liking the result.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Faith on November 10, 2011, 09:24:52 PM
That's awesome. I had no idea. XD
*Has to go listen to it and contemplate, now...* :P
And now I wonder what it sounded like before it was reversed... XD

La Seine and I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nudz3L9tpo), only the English version that I cannot seem to find, on Youtube. (the subtitles are not the same as the official English version)

I seriously cannot wait for the English release of this movie. It looks like it's going to be one of the better ones, this year.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Faith on December 09, 2011, 11:40:12 AM
It does look pretty interesting. My first thought was that a little soft guy voice like that doesn't seem like something that would come out of the brawny hulking fella dancing with that girl. Then I found out he was giant flea. So, who knows. :P
Still, interesting. :)

I'm listening to Dio's "Holy Diver."
The music video is super cheesy, but I think I can let that go, considering the time frame. XD

Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Felblood on December 28, 2011, 08:58:26 PM
The song from Ferrets, by Filmcow.

Google only ye who be prepared for bloody murder and other tasteless humor.

--but it's stuck in my head, and maybe if I listen to it a few more times the urge to sing it at work will go away.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Faith on December 29, 2011, 05:22:56 AM
Wow...
Just...
Wow. XD

I can see why you would want to avoid singing that at work. XP

"The Rhythm of Love" - The Scorpions.
More Scorpions. :P
I'd forgotten about all of these old rock songs, but have been digging them up, lately... reminds me of my childhood. Heh.
Sadly, though, with most of these my better memories of them were of my mother singing them as she drove or worked or something. I like a lot of the originals just fine, but they can never sound the same as I remember them...

Whoa, without me around to give it some life, this place has gone all tomblike, in the last 5 months or so.

More on that elsewhere.

Post by: Dragyn on December 15, 2012, 11:20:16 PM
Yeah...I've never been good at digging up neat music.  I keep coming back to Billy Joel's "Piano Man" lately.  I personally blame Weird Al, with his Spider Man version.  Either way, it's a good old song, if a bit on the sad side.

mother by Danzig

The song is just something to get amped to.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Dragyn on December 22, 2012, 08:42:03 PM
Danzig...is apparently not for me. :P

I'm currently listening to "A Mad Russian's Christmas" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, because my wife said I needed to listen to more Christmas music.  This may not have been what she meant.

But it -is- pretty awesome.

Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Felblood on January 03, 2013, 09:22:08 AM
I enjoy a little thrash or speed metal, from time to time, but I generally prefer something with a broader sound.

Epic metal, synth metal and dubsteb( but only if it has a good sub-bass line or it get's boring.)
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: punk_fur on January 03, 2013, 02:20:13 PM
not saying its not good, but I can't consider it real music, real music has a band not a dj.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Dragyn on January 03, 2013, 02:33:05 PM
By some definitions, Thrash, Punk, and anything else you've listed isn't music.  Best not to argue semantics here.

Honestly, a lot of what I consider music has a DJ, not a band.  Not all of it, but a lot.  Music is an incredibly broad topic, and in this day and age, it's hard to say what is and isn't actually music.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: punk_fur on January 03, 2013, 02:36:17 PM
True, though when music was started, they never had a dj.  xp
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Felblood on January 04, 2013, 08:21:54 PM
When music stared it was literally done with sticks and rocks.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: punk_fur on January 04, 2013, 09:08:40 PM
my point is, that a "band" is something with a drummer, a singer, a bassist, and a lead guitar. which makes music, however a dj can only mix music that has those basics.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: Felblood on January 06, 2013, 01:43:38 PM
Clearly you lack love for the 20-hz, synthesized sub-base.

Synthetic sound has given us a whole world of new timbres to play with, and expanded the range of tones for our existing ones beyond the normal limits of physics.

It's sheer folly to throw all that away because it's never been done before.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: punk_fur on January 06, 2013, 08:38:34 PM
Its only because I fear that which I do not know, but what I DO know is we can settle our differences because limp bizkit combined bolth a DJ AND A BAND and can rock as hard as slayer.
