  • 30 Questions - 30 Artists

    28. Nov. 2009, 6:23 von AnyaOtaku

    1. How did you get into 29?
    Raine Maida - He's the lead singer for my #1, I can't not listen to them. I didn't really get into his solo stuff until after I went to an OLP concert and fully appreciated the sexiness that is Raine Maida.

    2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
    Breaking Benjamin - Diary Of Jane, naturally. I was listening to it in the car with a friend and she thought that he was singing "Diarrhea Jane."

    3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
    Skillet - Three. I have Collide, Comatose, and Awake.

    4. What is your favorite song by 15?
    Paramore - I love their slower songs. I'd have to go with Misguided Ghosts, because it's so different that what they usually do, and much more lyrically deep.

    5. What is your favorite song by 5?
    Hoobastank - Inside Of You got a ton of extra points in my book when I heard it live, but You're The One still holds a special place in my heart.

    6. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
    Green Day - Almost everything off of 21st Century Breakdown makes me happy, because they're such fun songs. If I want to be in a good mood, I listen to that CD.

    7. What is your favorite song by 10?
    Tickle Me Pink - Definitely Tomorrow's Ending, although Madeline is pretty awesome too.

    8. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
    Switchfoot - 24 is a song that has this odd habit of showing up in those moments in my life where the things that were once going wrong suddenly became right. I have so many good memories of that song.

    9. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
    AFI - None of their songs are particularly happy, haha. The chorus of End Transmission is one of the best things that has happened to my ears, though, so I guess I'll go with that one.

    10. How many times have you seen 25 live?
    30 Seconds To Mars - Sadly, none. It seems they don't like to tour much in America. Or, at least not when I end up looking at their tour dates...

    11. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
    Rise Against - I know I heard a bunch of stuff on Siren Sound when it first came out because my friend bought it, but I didn't pay much attention. The first song of theirs I actually remember hearing was Give It All.

    12. What is your favorite album by 11?
    Zeromancer - All their albums have their high points and some songs that I usually skip, but I guess the best overall is Eurotrash.

    13. Who is a favorite member of 1?
    Our Lady Peace - Absolutely Raine Maida. But I already discussed that.

    14. Have you ever seen 14 live?
    Foo Fighters - I live a kind of sad, concertless life. I think it's the result of living first in nowhere Montana and then in a border town where the only artists that come through sing in Spanish. So, no. But that would be a great day in my life.

    15. What is a good memory involving 27?
    Lifehouse - Their CD was one of the first ones that I bought from FYE. It started a dangerous trend of spending all my money there until it closed a few months ago.

    16. What is your favorite song by 16?
    The All-American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret, definitely. Because I have this nasty habit of usually preferring the singles.

    17. What is your favorite album by 18?
    Panic at the Disco A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was way better than their newer one.

    18. What is your favorite song by 21?
    Jimmy Eat World - I am really starting to like Chase This Light.

    19. What is the first song you ever heard by 26?
    Boys Like Girls - I think it was Thunder, but I'm not sure.

    20. What is your favorite album by 2?
    Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake... It's Morning is definitely the best, but Cassadaga is starting to grow on me too.

    21. What is you favorite song by 3?
    Papa Roach - Probably Lifeline, although every other song off Metamorphosis is a close second.

    22. What is you favorite song by 8?
    The Used - I have this weird thing where I usually like the slow songs from my more hardcore bands. I think I have to pick Tunnel.

    23. How many times have you seen 17 live?
    Garbage - Never. How sad.

    24. What is the worst song by 12?
    Augustana - None of them. Okay... Mayfield.

    25. What was the first song you ever heard by 28?
    My Chemical Romance - Helena. I watched the music video on youtube, because I heard the singer was hot. I sometimes thank myself for my shallowness.

    26. What is you favorite album by 7?
    Trapt - Only Through The Pain is better than their others by leaps and bounds.

    27. What is your favorite song by 24?
    Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit is probably my favorite, although New Divide is starting to grow on me.

    28. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy?
    The Killers - Human puts me into a kind of melancholy happy. It's hard to describe, but I'd consider it happy.

    29. What is your favorite album by 4?
    Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High. That's the only one that I can listen to its entirety and not get bored with it.

    30. How many albums do you own by 20?
    Alkaline Trio - None, actually. I did buy one for a friend once though.

  • [feature] Bob Dylan - Christmas in the Heart

    23. Nov. 2009, 22:17 von motionpicture

    Originally published in Epigram.



    With each year that passes, it becomes harder and harder to distinguish between Bob Dylan's rasp and that of say, Tom Waits or Louis Armstrong. And so it seems only natural that he lend this to an album full of Christmas classics such as 'Winter Wonderland' and 'Little Drummer Boy'. In fact, knowing Dylan and his chameleon-like personality, it would have been a downright waste not to record this album at this point, as he'll probably be singing with the buttery smooth stylings of Jeff Buckley come next year.

    Unlike other periods in Dylan's history, such as the moment he went electric on 'Bringing It All Back Home' or his born-again Christian years with 'Saved' and 'Shot of Love', this is not an album which needs context in order to be appreciated. This album would sit more happily on the Christmas music shelf at Sainsbury's than amongst the majority of Dylan's discography. That's not to say it belongs in a place where the most artistic creation on show is the latest chronicle of Katie Price's biography, just that this is most certainly a Christmas album, and does not necessarily bring anything new to the immense palette Dylan has presented us with over the years.

    With the American tradition rooted so heavily in religion, it's no surprise that so many folk musicians have taken on some of the season's classic songs. Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst, an atheist who references Christianity a lot in his music, released 'A Christmas Album' back in 2002. "I went to a Catholic school, that kind of thing, so that was my childhood for sure. And not that I’m an expert on all these religions, but all the other major religions just fall a little flat in their narrowmindedness. I feel like there’s something much more basic than what all these people are worried about. And dogma and all that stuff, to me it’s anti- whatever I would consider god-like. Which is, I think, a connectedness and an all-encompassing sort of love for things." Oberst's beliefs are evident on the album which - whilst remaining reasonably true to the originals - exists for those who wish to participate in the Christmas traditions our modern culture insists are necessary, without having to listen to any Wham! songs. "You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white, but I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas."

    And then there's Sufjan Stevens, a deeply religious anti-consumerist, who admits, "Sometimes, I don't even celebrate Christmas." Stevens began experimenting with Christmas songs in 2001 and has released eight EPs to date. "It's a sacred form and yet it's also incredibly annoying and profane because it's the soundtrack in shopping malls across the country." Amongst 'O Holy Night', and 'Jingle Bells', Stevens has original songs like 'Did I Make You Cry on Christmas Day? (Well, You Deserved It!)' ("Did I make you cry, like every other day?") and 'That Was the Worst Christmas Ever!', which put a refreshing spin on a subject which is so often assumed to be synonymous with goodwill and compassion, "Our Father yells, throwing the gifts in the wood stove, wood stove."

    Whilst Dylan's intentions might not be as true as Oberst or Stevens' - the subject of this album being a tenuous link to its main purpose of raising money for Feeding America - if you buy into the shopping mall/Hollywood soundtrack version of this "celebration of mankind" we like to call Christmas, this album will easily receive some heavy rotation come Christmas day.

  • If my life was a movie, what soundtrack would it have?

    22. Nov. 2009, 17:45 von Harry_01

    Opening Credits
    Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
    HELL YEAH!!! This is EPIC!


    Waking Up
    Pink Floyd - High Hopes
    Great song for waking up and then, when David Gilmour's guitar solo kicks in... THIS must be a great day! =)


    First Day At College
    Bob Dylan - 4th Time Around
    Yeah the other three times I was visiting the young and attractive female professor, if you know what I mean, harrharr.


    Falling In Love
    Joshua Radin - What If You
    Really beautiful song. It's a break-up song though. Maybe she's falling in love with me but I'm not with her.
    Like he sings:

    "So, for tonight
    I'll stay here with you
    Yes, for tonight
    I'll lay here with you

    But when the sun
    Hits your eyes
    Through your window
    There'll be nothing you can do"


    I'm such a bad guy! :D


    Losing Virginity
    Jack Johnson - Cocoon
    She is losing virginity and I'm the one who breaks her cocoon. Oh what a metaphor! ;)


    Fighting
    Eddie Vedder - Long Nights
    I'll not use "fight" as the common term of "combat", more like "struggle". Maybe I'm struggling with not knowing who I am, where I belong, etc.


    Breaking Up
    Blackfield - Open Mind
    Is it that I'm too open minded that she breaks up with me?!


    Prom
    Robbie Williams - Feel
    Wow, this is a beautiful song! I could imagine dancing with a gorgeous girl to this song.


    Life
    The xx - Fantasy
    Erm, my life is just a fantasy?


    Depression
    Bright Eyes - The Movement Of A Hand
    Maybe I'm depressed 'cause I couldn't understand the movement of a hand.


    Driving
    Death Cab for Cutie - Bixby Canyon Bridge
    I'm listening to this song while driving on an early winter's day.


    Partying
    The Doors - Soul Kitchen
    Not the party song that I had expected, but yeah, nice though.


    Happy Dance
    Pink Floyd - Bike
    Yeah, I'd love to dance to this song! It'd be ridiculous and funny.


    You & Friends
    The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Red House
    Me & friends making a jam session and listening to this song to get inspired by.


    Betrayal
    Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently
    I'm so sorry honey! It was just that girl I've seen on the streets, you know, she was so drop-dead gorgeous and I, I just couldn't resist.


    Regretting
    Jack Johnson - Times Like These
    I miss times like these, where everything was so perfect and these times were only with you. So please, don't leave me!


    Long Night Alone
    Jack Johnson - Enemy
    You might think I'm your enemy, but that don't make you mine.


    Flashback
    Bright Eyes - Arc of Time (Time Code)
    Would fit nicely as a flashback song.


    Getting Back Together
    Coldplay - Swallowed By The Sea
    Cute and tearful reunion. Very moving.


    Wedding
    Bon Iver - Flume
    GREAT! I love it. Memo to myself: This song should be played on my wedding.


    Honeymoon
    Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un Autre Été L'Après Midi
    Beautiful!


    Birth of Child
    Iron & Wine - Carousel
    Nice song for one of the best moments that life offers: The birth of a child.


    Losing Someone Dear
    Weezer - The Damage In Your Heart
    Man, it fits so perfectly.


    Final Battle
    E.S. Posthumus - Ebla
    An epic battle this will be.


    Death
    Ólafur Arnalds - Fok
    I didn't expect that Ólafur Arnalds would be the last thing I'd hear.
    I'm sure I'll die peacefully and with a happy smile after listening to Fok.


    Funeral
    Mono - Pure As Snow (Trails Of The Winter Storm)
    Really beautiful. The funeral will be very moving.


    Final Credits
    Ludovico Einaudi - Yerevan II
    Sad ending credits. Could imagine half of the people are crying while leaving the theatres.


    I'm a bit disappointed that there was no Muse, Radiohead or Jeff Buckley.


    So here's how you do it:
    - Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.)
    - Put it on shuffle
    - Press play
    - For every question, type the song that's playing
    - When you go to a new question, press the next button
    - No cheating!
