[B]I absolutely hate Jet. It's one of the most derivative bands I've ever heard... I mean, I can name a classic rock song they've ripped off for every song on that album.

If other people like them, that's cool. I don't heh. [/B][/QUOTE]

[color=indigo]I kind of like that song, despite the guitar solo sounding oddly familiar (cough Jimmy Page cough), but I am not a big fan of the rest of their album.

Anyway, I am currently listening to Hoover by Holopaw. They came recomended by Semjaza Azazel and so far I think they are pretty good, although I really haven't heard enough of their songs to make a fair assessment.[/color]

Oh well heh. There's some obvious AC/DC rips on there too.

Holopaw is great. I'd say you should check out anything I mentioned in that Best of 2003 thread. Pavement, Death in Vegas, The Coral, Primitive Radio Gods and The Darkness seem like bands you might be into as well.

I'm currently listening to Young Americans by David Bowie. It's an awesome song. Nice gospel sounding back vocals and great use of saxophone.

The version on Best of Bowie is actually the single version which is notably shorter. I'm playing the full version, which is far better I'd say.

Like all of his songs it just has a great story within it. Great song.

I am listening to 'Just like You' By Three Days Grace

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

i could be fake
i could stupid
you know i could be just like

*you thought you were standing beside me
you were only in my way
you're wrong if you think that i'll be
just like you* chorus

i could be cold
i could be ruthless
you kow i could be just like you

i could be weak
i could be senseless
you know i could be just like you

chorus

On my own, cause i can't take livin' with you
I'm alone, so i won't turn out like
you want me to.

this is one of my favourite songs on the album. :)

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer
threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, that's all we've got

That is Five Years by David Bowie. It's the lead track on Ziggy Stardust. In my opinion, it's one of the best songs ever written. It's great on its own, but it gets very emotional at the end... which I think is its high point.

Right now I?m listening to ?Face To Face? by Daft Punk and next will be ?Say You?ll Be There? by Spice Girls.

?Face To Face? is one of those happy songs, but really all of Daft Punk?s songs sound happy. This song will not make you frown or cry; you won?t imagine gray, cloudy skies (if anything, blue with fluffy white clouds!) or feel depressed while listening to it. It?s actually a favorite of mine. Hear are the lyrics:

[CENTER]"[B]Face To Face[/B]"

What's going on?
Could this be my understanding?
It's not your fault I was being too demanding
I must admit it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be someone different
There's not much I know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face!

I turned away because I thought you were the problem
Tried to forget until I hit the bottom
But when I faced you in my blank confusion
I realized you weren't wrong, it was a mere illusion

It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved
It's not hard to go the distance
When you finally get involved face to face![/CENTER]

Right now i'm listening to the ending song of .hack//SIGN called Yashashii Yoake. Here it is translated in English (Its originally in Japanese, well...of course O.o)

Searching for eternity, you are a frivolous dreamer
Clinging to unreliable dreams. Where are you going?
Searching for the key to open twilight, I cry,
Unable to reach the moon's shadow. Where am I going?
Even though secrets are lost in our eyes,
We will never unfasten our arms from each other.
Pale moon of January, hide the colors of the sunrise.
The gentle dawn of a night that should not end.
Because of love's heaviness, painfully close,
The heart no longer mine cried for freedom.
When shining things existed only in dark places,
I gazed out the small window into the distance.
Pale moon of January, sinking into infinity.
The gentle dawn of a love that should not end.
Pale moon of January, hide the colors of the sunrise.
The gentle dawn of a night that should not end.

I'll have to keep that in mind...

Well while I'm here, I'm listening to:

L'Arc~en~Ciel - THE GHOST IN MY ROOM

"The Best of c/w" had a terrible design, I hope nobody got paid for making it. I'm reconsidering paying for it instead of buying all their individual singles (much more expensive, but much cooler).

I was having the same problem. "The Best of L'Arc-en-Ciel c/w" did have a bad design, but it went with the other "The Best of L'Arc-en-Ciel" albums which were simultaneously released. I only have their singles from "ZH lose control" to "Pieces" so you can see I'd have my work cut out for me.

I'd like to get all of "The Best of L'Arc-en-Ciel" albums, but that's ridiculous. I guess eventually I will, but it's frustrating when you want to just grab a collection immediately. Who says money can't buy happiness?

Somewhat random, but did you see their performance at MS Super Live 2003? Can't wait until February.

Currently listening to: ?lè?_?ä?Ý - Memorial address

I take it you mean when they performed "HONEY" and "READY STEADY GO"? Yeah, I did manage to see that, I was so relieved that Hyde could still sing normally (after all that growling and yelling he was doing for his solo career...)

I hate these type of lives where they just use pre-recorded instruments though.

[color=darkblue]Currently, I have "Soul To Squeeze" playing, by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I've enjoyed their music for quite a while, but I find the prices for their CDs are ridiculously expensive around here. But during a post-Christmas sale, I managed to pick up their Greatest Hits album for $16, compared to the $31 it was originally selling for.

Mind you, it's Canadian money. So the prices are a bit higher than they would be in America.[/color]

Well, lately I have been listening to a lot of Jpop music (because some of it just so awesome ^_^). The current songs I have switching off between are:

Hybrid Rainbow
Little Busters
and Instant Music

All of which are by The Pillows ^_^

I have a few Pillows CDs and I'd have to say that Thank You, My Twilight is still my favorite CD as well as my favorite song. They really transcend so many ideas I have about Japanese music... specifically because they don't sound dated lol.

I haven't been a fan of The Pillows that long but that is only because I only just discovered how wonderful their music is. The moment I get enough money (which sadly will probably be ages from now >.>) I am going to purchase a few of their CDs. For now I am happy for the few mp3s I have ^_^ *hugs her computer*

Nice, list, Leh! I actually like a lot of songs on there!
Myself making a list wouldn't be such a good idea, though. :sweat:

Right now, I'm listening to "4" by Aphex Twin. This is one of my favorite songs because there are no words so you don't get distracted by someone singing. To me it sounds really beautiful at some points and throughout it has this nice beat to it.
This is definitely a song you can ?Sing the do song? to, if you wanted.
