    Which song describes what would occur between you and a prostitute?: Stan Getz - Soul Eyes
    Your lover on the side?: The Killers - SpielenRead My Mind
    The teenage queen and the loaded gun, the drop-dead dream, the chosen one. A southern drawl and a world unseen, a city wall and a trampoline. I don't mind if you don't mind, 'cause I don't shine if you don't shine. Before you jump, tell me what you find when you read my mind. Slipping in my faith until I fall, you never return that call. Woman, open the door. Don't let it sting. I wanna breathe that fire again.
    How about your wife or husband?: Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - SpielenParallel or Together?
    Which song would be played at your wedding?: Incubus - SpielenPardon Me
    Which song would be played at your wedding reception?: Stars - SpielenWhat I'm Trying to Say
    Which song describes yourself in the future?: Tegan and Sara - Want to Be Bad

    I don't want to hold back. I don't want to slip down. I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I should have done. I don't want to doubt you, know everything about you. I don't want to sit across the table from you wishing I could run.
    Which song best describes your friends?: Andrew Bird - SpielenImitosis
    Which song best describes your school?: Rilo Kiley - Close Call
    She was born on a brightened pew to a gypsy mother in a bucket of tears. Her good looks could have sailed a ship, but her will alone could have sunk it. Funny thing about money for sex: you might get rich, but you'll die by it. It's gonna be a close call.
    Which song best describes your public personality?: Jack Off Jill - SpielenNazi Halo
    Bring your IQ and try to understand. Just 'cause I'm listening don't mean we're still friends. Can't fix my problem: you've crossed a thin line. You can't just work it out. Not with me, this time. You go solo: your faggot rainbow, your junkie ego, your tragic disco, your Nazi halo won't save you this time. You're so predictable. No shadow of doubt. When you are suffering, know who sold you out. Fuck your opinions. Fuck your lack of spine. When you are miserable, know that I'm just fine.
    Which song best describes your private personality?: A Perfect Circle - Passive
    Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic, I catch a brief reflection: what you could and might have been. It's your right and your ability to become my perfect enemy. Wake up and face me. Don't play dead, 'cause maybe, some day, I will walk away and say, "You disappoint me. Maybe you're better off this way." Why can't you turn and face me?

    What is the story of my life?: Bright Eyes - The Difference in the Shades
    What is/was high school like?: Sahara Hotnights - Quite a Feeling
    How can I get ahead in life?: The Mountain Goats - San Bernardino
    We got in your car, and we hit the highway. Eastern sun was rising over the mountains, yellow and blood red beams, like a kaleidoscope. And flaming swords may guard the garden of Eden, but we consulted maps from earlier days, dead languages on our tongues, holding on to our last hope. And the day was bright and fine, and the highway sign said, "San Bernardino welcomes you."
    What is the best thing about me?: Gregory and the Hawk - Isabelle
    And the ground's already hard where it's been dug in. I've gone this way too many times, but the pick keeps going deeper and I'm not turning back, so Isabelle, try to understand. I know just what to say, but it's incorrect to say it. How do I break it to him, the death of one who's staying? And all I think of now is a way to get under and a way to get out. Isabelle, what can I do for the naive pain it's causing you?
    How is today going to be?: Jimmy Eat World - SpielenWork
    What is in store for this weekend?: An Horse - Spielencompany
    What song describes my parents?: Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - Biomusicology

    How does the world see me?: Jack Off Jill - SpielenStrawberry Gashes
    I lay quiet waiting for her voice to say, "Some things you lose, and some things you just give away." Scold me: failed her. If only I'd held on tighter to her pale white skin that twisted and withered away from me. Watch me lose her. It's almost like losing myself. Give her my soul and let them take somebody else. Get away from me. Watch me fault her: you're living like a disaster. She said, "Kill me faster, with strawberry gashes all over, all over me."
    Will I have a happy life?: Wilco - Side With the Seeds
    What do my friends really think of me?: Placebo - Slackerbitch
    Your memory will fade. I didn't mean it. You've always had it made. I didn't mean it. I know you feel betrayed. I just wanted to get laid. I didn't mean it. Slackerbitch, fag-hag whore, looks real cute for lips so sore. Always knocking on my door. You come across impure. I didn't mean it. Goddamn immature: I didn't mean it. You act so insecure. You hate me now, I'm sure. I didn't mean it.
    Do people secretly lust after me?: Jimmy Eat World - SpielenFutures
    How can I make myself happy?: Maria Mena - SpielenJust a Little Bit
    What should I do with my life?: Peaches - Felix Partz

    What's going to happen to me this week?: Stone Temple Pilots - SpielenStill Remains
    Where will I be a year from now?: Tegan and Sara - SpielenOur Trees

    What is the love of my life doing at this very moment?: Goo Goo Dolls - Long Way Down
    How will I die?: Neko Case - Star Witness
    What will happen after I die?: Roxy Music - Do The Strand

    First Day of School: Neva Dinova - Brooklyn
    Falling In Love: Neko Case - Duchess
    Losing Virginity: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - SpielenSoft Shock

    I won't be out long, but I still think it better end. You take your time coming over here. I think that's for the best. Call, break it off. Call, break my own heart. Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at. Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at. But now we'll never know. I won't be sad, but in case I'll go there every day to make myself feel bad. There's a chance I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do.

    Haven't done this for a while but I should be able to keep up on this for a while now.

    1. Aidan Baker - 2009 - Live In Montreal - not sure when this was recorded but it's fairly recent - within the last year or so. Aidan Baker is a Canadian multi-instumentalist who leans toward the heavy drone side of psych. This is a 30 minute plus set featuring two long pieces recorded in a live setting. Although this sort of stuff is hard to appreciate in a less than perfect live recording, it still features some interesting moments including some live echoey multi-tracked singing and lots of thick guitar and electronics. Anyone new to Baker's music should start with his studio recordings to fully appreciate all the nuances involved. Aidan Bakeraidanbaker.org

    2. Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd - 1962 - Jazz Samba - For my money, Stan Getz made some of the best cocktail lounge jazz ever created. On this 1962 album (ancient history, I know) he's teamed up with guitar player Charlie Byrd for a sublime set of Brazilian influenced jazz. Nothing surprising or jarring, just two pros creating a mood - smooth, yet never saccharine. This is the kind of music that was ubiquitous in it's day but now has to be sought out to be heard. Which of course helps you appreciate it that much more.Stan GetzCharlie ByrdStan Getz & Charlie Byrd - Jazz Samba

    3. Alex Cline - 2009 - Continuation - this is the latest from drummer Alex Cline, who is the brother of guitar player Nels Cline. This release features lots of percussion, cello, and bass. Although released on the Cryptogramophone label, it's highly reminiscent of the ECM sound, especially some of Jack DeJohnette's work with the label. I would say Cline's latest is less airy and more improvised than the typical ECM disc, it's a good a touchstone as any. This is complex music demanding repeated listenings. I've heard it 3 times now and each time have found something new. He hasn't been prolific like his brother, so here's hoping he start putting out his own music more regularly.Alex ClineReview of Alex Cline's Continuation

    4. VA - 2007 - Projekt - A Dark Noel - Xmas is just around the corner so why not start now. As the title says, lots of dark and ethereal sounds emanating from this compilation. My personal favorite is Faith & The Muse's 'A Winter Wassail' and possibly Arcanta's odd take on 'Carol Of The Bells'. The important thing as this is serious seasonal music throughout, not a novelty clunker in to be found. And serious Christmas music is the only kind I want to hear. May have to give this one another spin. I'm also sorry about including a link to Amazon, but it's the best one I could find for more information about this CD.Projekt Music - A Dark Noel

    5. Anthony Braxton - 2008 - Live at the Kursaal Chamber Hall, 43 Heineken Jazzaldia, Donostia, San Sebastian, Spain, 07-25-08 - this is something I grabbed off of the Big-O website which I think is based in Singapore. This is one hell of a set, with the 8 part work 'Accelerator Ghost Dance' being featured. A standout for me is guitar player Mary Halvorson who is someone I've recently caught on to. Her playing keeps bobbing and weaving around Braxton, Taylor Bynum's horns, and Aaron Siegel's vibes and percussion. And everytime I hear Braxton it's something different, kind of like John Zorn. And Big-O is always worth a visit as they feature a constantly rotating list of boots to download.Anthony BraxtonBig-O homepage

  • Mein Leben in Musik: Nein, Musik war nicht meine erste Liebe - My life in music: No,…

    4. Okt. 2009, 10:22 von twmia

    Nein meine erste Liebe hatte ich mit 6 Jahren. Sie war 12, blond mit Zöpfen und ich war unsterblich verliebt. Wenn ich mir das heute so überlege, dann hat sie eher auf mich aufgepasst. Aber für mich war klar, sie holte mich ab, weil sie mit mir zusammen sein wollte. Bis eines Tages.
    Sie wollte mit mir zum Sommerfest gehen. Anders ausgedrückt, ich ging mit meiner Freundin aus. Dachte ich jedenfalls.
    Als wir allerdings da waren und sie sich nur noch für die großen Jungs interessierte, hatte ich gelernt, daß es nicht nur auf die inneren Werte ankommt.
    Zurück zur Musik: Den Song "music was my first love" habe ich total gehasst, als er Anfang der 70er herauskam. Ich meine, ihr habt da einfach eine komplette Sammlung aller Tophits des Jahres in einem Song. Ist ja auch was, oder?
    Aber Musik war meine zweite Liebe und mich faszinierten auch die Texte. Da gab es zum Beispiel eine ganz magische Zahl. Die 17. Aus irgendeinem für mich als Kind völlig unerfindlichen Grund war 17 Jahre genau das Alter, das man unbedingt erreichen musste: "Mit 17 hat man noch Träume, da wachsen noch alle Bäume in den Himmel der Liebe."
    Mit 17 Hat Man Noch Träume
    Damals wurde man allerdings erst mit 21 Jahren erwachsen, die 18 kam erst später. Also was sollte die 17?
    Egal erst mal galt mein Streben dem Ziel 17 zu werden.
    Und mich faszinierte England, zumindest klang das sehr interessant im Radio:Lord Leicester Aus Manchester oder In Der Carnaby Street.
    Musikalisch bewegte sich viel, Rock'nRoll und Beat hatte ich ja schon erzählt. Aber es gab da auch Jazz im Radio z.B. Wes Montgomery, der in mir die Liebe zur Gitarre weckte oder Stan Getz die Liebe zurm Saxophon.
    Überhauptda gab es den Bossa Nova: the girl from ipanema
    SpielenThe Girl From Ipanema
    Da ich ja, wie ihr wisst, schon früh etwas für schöne Frauen übrig hatte, war das immer ein Traum, mal irgendwann dieses Girl sehen.

    No, I had my first love at the age of 6. She was 12, with blond hair and I was desperately in love. When I think about it today, i guess she was my babysitter. But for me it was clear, she came, because she wanted to be with me. Until one day.
    She wanted to go with me to the summer festival. In other words, i went out with my girlfriend. At least I thought so.
    When we were there, she was interested only in the older guys. So I had to learn that love depends not only on the inner values.
    Back to music: In fact i hated the song "music was my first love" when it came out in the early 70s. I mean, you have a complete collection of all the top hits of the year in one song. And that is really something, right?
    But music was my second love and i was fascinated in he lyrics. There was, for example, a very magical number, the 17. Somehow for me as a child for a totally unknown reason it was absolutely necessary to reach the age 17: "At 17, we still have dreams, because all the trees still grow in the sky of love." (from a german song)
    Mit 17 Hat Man Noch Träume
    At that time, however you become mature at the age of 21, the 18 came much later. So what should the 17 mean?
    It does not matter my aim was to become 17.
    And I was fascinated by England, at least it sounded very interesting on the radio: Lord Leicester Aus Manchester or In Der Carnaby Street.
    Even musically moved a lot, about beat Rock'nRoll I had already told. But there were also jazz on the radio for example Wes Montgomery, who awakened in me a love for guitar or Stan Getz the love for the saxophon.
    Oh yes Bossa Nova was it: the girl from ipanema

  • Статистика, часть 5: джаз // Stats, part 5: jazz

    20. Aug. 2009, 16:15 von -273C

    Очередной пост, посвященный статистике. Сегодня нашей темой является джаз (точнее, топ-100 тега jazz).

    Just another one statistical post. Jazz is our field of research today (top-100 of the tag jazz, to be exact).

    предыдущие посты / previous entries
    mainstream
    russian rock
    progressive rock
    black metal

    Сначала наше традиционное упорядочение по количеству прослушиваний и слушателей.

    First of all, our traditional arrangement with respect to number of plays and number of listeners.


    Pic. 1 - full size




    Pic. 2 - full size


    И тут, и там наиболее популярным исполнителем является Amy Winehouse (и, да, по личным соображениям я убрал из статистики Тома Уэйтса). Дальше начинается вполне классический джаз - Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong и так далее.

    In both cases the most popular artist is Amy Winehouse (and, yes, I supposed it would be correct to exclude Tom Waits from jazz stats). Then the things go more classical: Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and so on.


    Pic. 3


    А вот так выглядит общая зависимость количества прослушиваний джазовых исполнителей от числа слушателей. Заметно, что чем правее, тем сильнее эта зависимость идет вверх. Таким образом, получается, что лидеры находятся на каком-то особенном положении у слушателей.

    And that's the way, general dependence of playcount to number of listeners looks like. You can notice, it's bending upwards with growing number of listeners. So, that means, the leaders of our statistics are treated by listeners in a different way, than other artists.


    Pic. 4 - full size


    Это также подтверждается графиком удельного числа прослушиваний (число прослушиваний делить на число слушателей для каждого исполнителя). Вообще, у джаза этот показатель оказался рекордно низким - в среднем 11 прослушиваний. Наибольший показатель у вездесущей Эми Уайнхаус - 32.

    The graph of specific number of scrobbles (a playcount divided by number of listeners for each artist) confirms that notation. Surprisingly, jazz artists have very low specific scrobble number - 11 in average. Amy Winehouse has the highest one - 32.


    Pic. 5


    Гистограмма лишь подтверждает печальный факт концентрации удельного числа прослушиваний вблизи рекордно низких значений, в целом по форме повторяя распределение для других жанров. Джаз умер?

    The histogram just supports concentrating of specific number of scrobbles near very low values, repeating the histogram for other genres in general. Sad, but true. Is jazz dead?


    Pic. 6


    Немного статистики по активности слушателей в рупорах исполнителей. Как видно из графика, какой-либо строгой зависимости числа сообщений в рупоре от числа слушателей не наблюдается. То, что более популярным исполнителям больше пишут, понятно и так. Кстати, Эми Уайнхаус я сюда не включил - взглянув на следующий график, вы поймете, почему.

    Some stats about the user activity in shoutboxes. As one can see, there's no strict dependence of number of shouts to number of listeners. It's obvious, that more popular artists should get more shouts. By the way, Amy Winehouse isn't included here - see the next plot to understand why.


    Pic.7


    А вот зависимость числа сообщений в рупоре от удельного числа прослушиваний. Эми Уайнхаус и здесь лидирует, причем с шестикратным отрывом. Короче говоря, для джаза она - исполнитель, аномальный по всем параметрам) А вот если убрать Эми, то будет видно обнаруженое ранее явление: среднее удельное число прослушиваний является чем-то вроде барьера, разделяющего исполнителей с малым и с большим числом сообщений в рупоре. Посмотрим, что покажут другие жанры)

    And here's the dependence of number of shouts in the shoutbox to specific number of scrobbles. Amy Winehouse takes the lead again, having six times more shouts than others. So, she's really anomalous for the jazz. And without Amy, the graph exhibits the property, found in previous research: average specific number of scrobbles behaves like a barrier, separating artists with few shouts from artists with lots of them. Let us see, what another genres would show us the next time)

    P.S. Суммарное число прослушиваний в top-100 джаза - 348 миллионов.
    The total playcount in jazz's top-100 is 348 millions.
