Er, what? Your grandpa used to play guitar to you so you like listening to music more than just listening to the words?

I also prefer the music over the lyrics. If the lyrics are shit I generally don't mind as long as the music is good. At the same time, if the lyrics are good but the music is bad I won't bother listening.

Since I was born, my grandpa always played guitar for me, I was a very energetic kid and his music seemed to calm me in ways my mother or my father couldn't, you know the rocking bed and all that. So, as growing up, I always asked my grandfather to play guitar for me and as I learned with him, I grew up just mainly focusing in the instruments in music, to the point where I could know his mood just by the way he played. My grandfather loved "Fado", a traditional music style from Portugal, and improvised very much, so I could identify his mood, since it was a song from THAT moment. I simply cannot explain this any better and I'm sorry Phylum, if my words aren't enough to express my main focusing in instruments on music.

I am that way too.

Anyone that actually listens to music feels that way.

I, uh, can't think of many cases where the music is worse than the lyrics. Reason being that most musicians are musicians before they are poets.

I would cite lots of popular songs I hate too much to know the names of, but I suppose that's more a matter of personal taste.

If you're talking about rap, then taking that kind of approach to appreciate rap is wrong to begin with.

If you're talking about other kinds of mainstream music (In all parts of the spectrum up to and including death metal) then I stand by what I said. The music may be terrible, but the lyrics are juvenile and trite to at least match it.

It happens, WoF. It's just rare is all.



Sup, just posting one of the fucking greatest masterpieces of our time.

I am afraid to click at this . it looks so 90ies

Finally decided to check out The Money Store after hating Exmilitary. Needless to say, Death Grips have grown on me. Massive step up from their first album.

Yup.


Yup.

Apparently those guys are absolutely terrifying live.

This is an amazing version of an amazing song. I was transcribing the vocal lines the other day and I realised something awful and really unprofessional about this recording that I'm surprised I'd never heard before.

Try listening to it through twice in a row.

Are they?


I mean, I never went to this kind of "concert", so I don't know what to expect...

GIVE UP THE FUNK!

Crystal Castles songs that have hints of daddy issues speak to me

This is a great waking up song. And a great song all around.

Message read on the bathroom wall, "I don't feel at all like I fall." What a weirdly beautiful thing to say.

And we're losing all touch, losing all touch, building a desert.

Modest Mouse's music is always either a hit or miss for me. I can't really decide how much I like them.

And now for something loud.

Everything they did up to and including The Moon and Antarctica is fantastic. I don't like the stuff that came after quite as much, but it's not bad.

Definitely up there in my favourite soundtracks. This show has so much fucking style.

PS: I'm sure we had a movie/tv soundtrack thread, but it seems to have gone'd.

fooled around with FL and yes that's a close up of a vagina
