O's Musical Emporium


Recommended Posts

Copying over a popular thread from the sadly soon to be defunct PSPMinis.com forum. Hopefully it can continue to survive here at AtariAge.

 

  1. Things have been getting pretty boring around here (and I'm actually really bored right now), so just like my necromancy thread, I'm doing something a little different in hopes of picking up the fun level.

    Welcome to O's Musical Emporium!

    Here I'll periodically post what I deem to be good music. Keep that in mind, it's what I think is good. It's also encouraged that you guys do the same. Make it a big ol' club up in here! You never know, you may find something new that you like, or get people interested in what you already do. Anything goes, but try not to be TOO outrageous. None of that kill a cop, devil is my savior type stuff.

    First to the stage in the Emporium is a duo of Hip-Hop evil doers who go by the name of Madvillain. Legendary MC's and Producers DOOM and Madlib came together and in 2004 released their critically acclaimed album, Madvillainy.

    And now I present one of that albums illest tracks, Fancy Clown. Performed by DOOM's alter ego, Viktor Vaughn, and produced by Madlib, the song tales the tale of a man who has had his heart broken by the one he loves. Cheating was her crime, and in an ironic twist of fate the man who she commited the crime with was the villain, DOOM.

    Ladies and gentleman, Fancy Clown.

  2. That was pretty cool Ofaliss. Do we just link random music that we listen to?

  3. Yup. Whatever you think is good and want to share, just link it.

  4. I am a music fan, so this is probably the best thread ever. I will link something tommorow, I am on my PSP so I can't link anything.

  6. Type this on youtube or grooveshark, ''Brooken Hands'' by Lamb of God. I will probably link it tommorow. I just love Metal it pumps me up and to me this is my favorite song.

    I'll go out on a limb and guess that Viktor Vaughn and DOOM is a play on Victor Von Doom aka Dr.Doom.

    Here's mine.
    Megadeth - Washington is Next

    Being into what's being said gets me more into the music. I seems to prefer songs that talk about what most don't have the balls (or brains) to talk about. In this case politcs and religion.

    Considering what the song talks about, ironically and sadly most people don't get it.

    I'll go out on a limb and guess that Viktor Vaughn and DOOM is a play on Victor Von Doom aka Dr.Doom.

     

    Yup! It was one of the things that attracted me to him, his unorthodox style is what kept me coming back.

    Very nice pick, Nexus. It's hard not to like a song that speaks out against the BS governments are known for. I hear a lot of music now that pretends to speak out or on touchy subjects. But it mostly lacks sincerity. It's just a pile of what the people want to hear, when they want to hear it. So it's always good to hear music that actually tries to inform and get people stirred up about something.

    huicho, I like the dark nature of Broken Hands. It's the kind of song I like to listen to when I'm in a, man has disappointed me, kind of mood. And since I'm often in that mood, I may go ahead and download it from Amazon.

    I mostly listen to DJ shows these days. Mostly trance.

    Suzy Solar is probably my favorite. As far as I know, her show is the second longest running trance show (next to AvB's A State of Trance).

    Also usually listen to http://zoltar.podomatic.com/">Zoltar's Subterranean. He used to be the program director of the trance station on Sirius Radio, which used to be on DirecTV (which I have). But then they merged and the channel was no more.

    And a host of other shows from Crystal Clouds, they have legal radio show downloads from a host of fairly lesser known DJs. Manuel Le Saux, Angel Ace, Kaneda, ReOrder are my favorites there.

    Actually, I have a Last FM page - http://www.last.fm/user/DiscoJer

  12. I really like this song by cast, used in the opening sequence of Omega Boost in Europe. ;)

  13. This is Broken Hands By Lamb of God, the one I posted earlier.

  14. Here is another song I really liked. Shout by Black Tide.

  15. I'm dealing with a mostly Metal crowd, huh? That puts me somewhere near no mans land, since it's pretty low on my preferred music list.

    I do listen to it a little, but it's usually from Japanese Metal bands. I find it creeps me out less if I don't know what they are saying! :D

    Here's one of my favs from a band known as Dir En Grey. It's called, Dozing Green.

    POSTED 7 YEARS AGO #
  16. Ofaliss, I have never heard of Japenese metal bands, I would love it if you would link me some more songs that you liked. I listen to metal often, I just love the hate filled lyrics, growling voices, and most of all, their bada$$ attitude. My dream is to go to ozzfest. I also listen to Dubstep but, I am a headbanger all the way.

    POSTED 7 YEARS AGO #
  17. I'll see what I have when I get home, but I don't think I have very many Japanese metal songs, I may not have anymore. But I'll see what I can find.

    Here are some other songs that I enjoy.

    Jesus - This one is from Gackt. His music tends to be on the Rock/Pop side. Chicks love him like nobodies business.

    Good Luck - This one is from Electronic duo Basement Jaxx. It features the soulful Lisa Kekaula.

    Verbal - Love this one. It's by Amon Tobin, or as I like to call him, Mr. Toonami Himself.

    The Red - I'm a Hip-Hop fan at heart, so I have to throw in at least one Hip-Hop track! This one has a very special place in my heart. From the critically acclaimed album Champion Sound, the song made an appearance in my favorite Tony Hawk game, Project 8. Performed by Madlib, and produced by the late J Dilla. The two formed the duo known as Jaylib. This one contains explicit content.

    POSTED 7 YEARS AGO #
  18. I loved all of them. My favorite was either The Red or Verbal. More songs that I would really liked are all the songs on Black Tides album Post Mortem. I also liked Black Tides song Show Me The Way, which was feautred on MotorStorm: Pacific Rift.

  19. My musical tastes seem to be fairly uncommon these days, unfortunately. But, at least it provides even more variety for this topic. :)

    Sometimes I wonder if Liszt wrote this just to show off his technical prowess.

    This is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music, though this performance of it doesn't play it entirely accurately to its original notation.

    Another favorite, though this clip is best listened to without watching the video; I don't know what was up with the camera looking around at all those audience members who weren't doing anything anyway. It's just distracting.

    Well in a lot of ways, trance has taken over the classical musical er, space. Or niche.

    I mean, listen to this, which is one of the hottest tracks of the moment:

  22. I'm a big Prodigy fan (love the early stuff most), I also like Enya. Here's a mash-up of 'Smack My Bitch Up' by Prodigy and 'Orinoco Flow' by Enya... It shouldn't work, but it does. I also like the video, it would make a great mini. ;)

    Well I'm a big ol redneck so listen to country and 80s big hair mostly. I like a lot of heavy stuff though. Slipknot being my favorite heavy band.

    I like the song in the Ascention Black Ops zombie map, but I've been too lazy to google it.

  25. This is Show Me The Way from Black Tide.
    Another good one from Black Tide, That Fire.
    This is going to be the last Metal song I post which is called Laid To Rest by Lamb Of God.

  29. A hip-hop fan, eh Ofaliss? I love old-school hip-hop like Wu-Tang Clan and Ghostface Killah, but also more contemporary stuff like Deep Puddle Dynamics, Sole and Alias.

    The Red's a pretty good tune.

  • Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to f*ck wit!

    Yup, I am indeed a fan of hip-hop. If it's not on the radio, I'm all over it. I do enjoy some mainstream hip-hop though. I am a fan of pre-My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Kanye West, pre-Lasers Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Talib Kweli. Things of that nature.

    Yes Random, Ghostface is a member of Wu-Tang. And speaking of Ghostface, here is a track by DOOMSTARKS. DOOMSTARKS is a collabo between DOOM and Tony Starks (A.K.A. Ghostface). It's called Victory Laps. It was produced by DOOM. I personally think they should have called themselves Tony DOOM!

    DOOM gets around! Here's one by Danger Doom. This was from the collabo album, The Mouse and the Mask, featuring Producer Danger Mouse and DOOM, presented by Adult Swim. It's called Basket Case. It features characters from Harvey Birdman.

    Here's another Madvillain track from another Adult Swim collabo. It was a collabo between Adult Swim and record label Stonesthrow, it's called Chrome Children. The track is called Monkey Suite. Performed by DOOM, produced by Madlib.

    These songs contain explicit content.

  • Random, you should link some country tracks, broham. Country is 1 of 2 genres of music I never could get into, so I don't know any good ones.

    Here are a few random songs for you guys.

    Exhibition (Epoison), Falling Up

  • One of the things I like to do when I'm in a bad mood, is listen to a terrible song. A song so terrible, that you laugh the whole time. When it's finally over, you have a huge smile on your face.

    So I think I'll introduce a, 'So Bad It Makes You Happy', night. On Thursday nights, which is my hump day, I'll try to post a song so bad, it puts you in a good mood.

    First up to the stage is a song so damn aweful, the second it starts it's all LOL's! It's performed by a "rapper" so terrible, that other terrible "rappers" hate him! This disgrace to sound goes by the name of Gucci Mane, and the song so terrible that you laugh the whole way through is known as, Freaky Gurl.

    This song is so terrible, that when you're watching the video it's like you have Smell-o-Vision, you can just smell the ignorance! No wonder the youth of today are pretty much useless. At least the chicks are easy on the eyes!

  • Time to go back to an golden age! A time where good music, sex, and drugs, were in demand and in full swing! I was born in '87, so I missed out on the music when it was new, but I still enjoy it. Welcome to the '80s wing of the Emporium!

    You can't mention music in the '80s and not talk about one man, Michael Jackson. I know that that name brings up all kinds of emotions, some people love him, some hate him. But despite what you think about the man, it's hard to not love his music! Here are some fan favorites from what could be the most recognized and beloved albums in history, Thriller!

    Beat It
    Billie Jean
    Thriller
    Human Nature (Personal favorite of mine)

    But lets not forget these gems not on Thriller!

    Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough (technically released in '79, but close enough!)
    Rock With You

    But no, ladies and gentleman, the '80s block isn't over just yet! I'll be back with more!

    POSTED 7 YEARS AGO #
  • To me, you can't enjoy '80s music without enjoying the sounds of Phil Collins, or as I like to call him, Phil Freaking Collins! The guy is so freaking epic, he made up a word and turned it into one of the greatest songs known to man! Here it is ladies and gentleman, Sussudio! For some reason, I can picture Freelance listening to this while she's hunting critters!

    But that's not all that I have from Philly FC, oh no! I also have what is perhaps the greatest song EVER to make sweet passionate relations to, In The Air Tonight!

    This next one is from Spandau Ballet. I actually have nothing cool to say, other than this song is f'ing AWESOME! One of my all time favs, Gold.

    The next song has one of the greatest music videos I have ever seen. A lot of the younger guys may recognize the style since it was parodied on Family Guy. The song is by Norwegian pop band A-ha, and is called Take On Me. I doubt it really needs an introduction. It's up there for songs I want played at my funeral!

    Next up is a favorite from the Vice City days! It was one of the few songs that when it played on the radio, I would just coast down the strip. For those 3:58, lives were spared. It's Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung.

    There are SO many more gems, but I'm going to wrap it up for now with one from the man himself, Rick James! Or as I like to call him, Rick Motherf*@king James! Ghetto Life ladies and gentleman, and it ain't no joke!

    Edit: I have to give you guys one more! This one is by the inadvertent king of pranks, Rick Astley! Yes ladies and gentleman, I'm talking about the one and only, Never Gonna Give You Up!

  • Ah, the 80's. I miss dancing to the old school music and doing the moon walk. I loved MJ, he was a legend but, 80's Metal is just plain bada$$.
    Judas Priest was very popular, and they were the first Metal I have ever listen to. My favorite track from Judas Priest, Painkiller
    I am going to post some more old Metal later.

    onmode-ky, your taste in music, it is like I have herad it before. What genre of music is that?

     

    Er, classical? The three examples I gave are all from the Romantic era (roughly speaking, the 1800s), specifically, my favorite. I'm not sure if that's what you were asking.

    I would say today's successor to classical music would be soundtrack music. At the least, it's pretty much the direct successor of opera. My CD library is largely soundtracks (primarily Star Trek and anime/games).

    For opera, I guess, but a lot of classical music was meant for dancing. I mean, heck, in the 1970s, during the Disco era, one of the biggest things was "Switched on Classics", which essentially was disco versions of classical music.

    And Tiesto, before he sold out, did a wonderful trance version of Adagio for Strings

    POSTED 7 YEARS AGO #
  • Disco versions of classical music . . . as if there weren't already enough reasons to dislike disco. :P But yeah, I guess a fair amount of classical music was originally dances, and not just waltzes. I don't think I'd say a majority was, but definitely a significant percentage.

    I guess I'll post some of my favorites from the soundtracks I have.

    "Diva," the aria from Blood+ - composed by Mark Mancina (actually available as an MP3 from his website, though I have the series' actual CDs; the vocals are performed by the same woman, Elin Carlson, who sang the remake of the original Star Trek theme for the enhanced version of The Original Series)

    "Ifurita's Theme," from El-Hazard: The Magnificent World - composed by Seikou Nagaoka (this isn't from it, but there's a wonderful El-Hazard - The Symphonic World CD I have where arrangements of the series' music are performed by the Slovakia Philharmonic)

    "Nirvash type ZERO," from Eureka seveN - composed by Naoki Sato (this piece truly captures the thrill and freedom of soaring through the skies, so it's quite fitting for the series)

    "Chain," from The Vision of Escaflowne - composed by Yoko Kanno (there's certainly a ton of Kanno's music I could have posted, from her wide spectrum of genres, but this came to mind even before Escaflowne's "Dance of Curse"; like all the Escaflowne music, this is performed by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus, who have done a few other anime works)

    "Nightmare," from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - composed by Kotaro Nakagawa (Code Geass was full of drama, and its music sold it all with style)

    "Ilia's Theme," from Star Trek: The Motion Picture - composed by Jerry Goldsmith (think what you will of ST:TMP, but its Oscar-nominated score is absolutely one of Goldsmith's finest creations ever; this particular piece is what played before the movie started)

    Enough from me.

That was pretty good. Hope he keeps on practicing.

It has been a while since I posted any music, and I'm in a Samurai Champloo mood. Samurai Champloo is my all time favorite anime, and the blend of traditional Japanese culture and hip-hop is one of the reasons why.

Battlecry - produced by the late Nujabes, featuring Shing02

Ole - Fat Jon

Pretending To... - Tsutchie

Tsurugi no Mai - Nujabes

Silver Morning - Nujabes

Shiki no Uta - Produced by Nujabes, performed by Minmi

Who's Theme - Produced by Nujabes, performed by Minmi. This track is insanely mellow.

Nujabes was a Japanese hip-hop producer. Much like J Dilla, he died way too young. They essentially were eastern and western counterparts. Nujabes being the calm and mellow of the two, while J Dilla chose a more aggressive sound. Oddly enough, they were both born on the same date and died in the same month of their birth.

I suggest that if you do listen to them, listen to them on a medium volume level to get the most enjoyment. Hope you guys like them. Except for Battlecry, you can blast that one!

I, er, voted sort of by accident. Since I don't accept cookies from most websites and don't have an account of any sort at that site, I didn't think anything would happen if I clicked on the Vote button, so I did it to see what the effect would be. To my surprise, it accepted the vote; I guess it doesn't rely on cookies.

In all honesty, though, I'm not qualified to evaluate your track. Not only do I not know the song you remixed, but I don't even have any interest in that style of music.

I stumbled across this remix of the Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors opening theme earlier today and was quite impressed. I've always thought the original tune was one of the best 80s cartoon intros, and this remix, while largely sounding quite similar, adds in some pretty cool atmospheric effects. I don't particularly like the very beginning, but it grows out of that.

    This song has been one of my absolute favorites for 35 years now. I got the album when I was 6 (on both 8-track and vinyl)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60A1yKc2hi4

    Absolutely silly video though, but at the same time, it illustrates how people were comfortable wearing outlandish fashions. Two guys in kimonos, one guy in a leisure suit, a couple guys in jumpsuit, and the guitarist in a tuxedo

  • Yeah, that . . . that is weird. And besides, who in their right mind would wear a red classic Starfleet uniform? Got a death wish?

    "In Memories KO-TO-WA-RI", from the soundtrack to the Rurouni Kenshin prequel OVA series. I used to listen to this track on the CD over and over. It's the music that plays during the series' final scenes, alternating between mournful and violent, wrapping up the heart-wrenching story. Composed by Taku Iwasaki (also composer of Read or Die, in much lighter fare). He has some lovely strings work.

    To this day, I maintain that the Kenshin OVA is one of the finest stories ever animated, on top of being one of the most beautiful works of animation. Wish the Blu-ray weren't so damned expensive.

    Well, not everyone can look like a singer of a Canadian progressive rock band from the 80s, ya know. (At least it's not Geddy Lee.)

    Anyway, now for something completely differently, a game soundtrack (sort of), apparently some of this was in that Miami Hotline game.

    I dunno. I think thanks to the internet it's now possible for someone truly talented to be discovered. At least in the EDM genre, it's thriving thanks to places like Soundcloud and all the radio streaming.

    But if you mean popular music, from record companies, then yes, I think this is probably the worst it's ever been since records were invented. Sheet music even. Popular music was always about marketing, but there usually had to be at least a core of good music. Now technology has advanced to the point where that isn't necessary anymore. And people seem so jaded that they don't care that artists are phony. Milli-Vanilli was terrible, but at least when they turned out to be fakes they were banished. Now it seems they are embraced (that Lana Del Rey in particular, but Ashley Simpson before her)

    Beyond that, rock has gone from mostly dead to just plain dead. Rap is still alive, but has followed down the pop music path, sort of missing the whole point.

    Indeed, I think part of the problem is that passion has gone out of music. At least mainstream music.

    And just for the heck of it, some of my favorite mid-late 90s songs (since I seem to be mostly using my Vita to watch music videos on)

    Posies - Dream All Day (another singer I sort of look like)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM1U78RLChY

    Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Kill Your Television
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yan77UKYcg4

    Catherine Wheel - Black Metallic (looks like they were going for a The Shining vibe with the video)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtTqR9oZX6Q

    Robert Plant - Calling To You
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9Fjrc_4nOQ

    Coverdale/Page - Take Me For A Little While (I listened to this album a lot after getting dumped in college. I'm not sure it helped, but it was appropriate at least.)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtfM2CozoAo

    Dubstar - Stars (Motiv8 Mix) Kind of weird, they did a new video for the remix, the original version is sort of trip-hop, this is more dance. Had a hell of a time finding the cd for this, store clerks would keep insisting I wanted "Dogstar", which apparently was Keanu Reeves' band (I guess Woah and Pinnochio were taken).
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92t3L2otUfU

    Front 242 - Crushed
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2PiDF6LDeg

    2 Skinnee Js - Riot Nrrrd (From the somewhat short lived Nerdcore genre, but this is actually good. The whole album is, actually.sprawled in the hall like Anthony Michael has to be one of the greatest lines ever)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeLMckmfiI8

    Why do record companies do that? They complain about a video with music, so Youtube removes the music, but then others upload just the music and no one cares

  • It's pretty asinine. I don't get why the companies even care as long as no money is being made. It's not just music either. Sega was pulling videos for one of their games, Guardian Force or something. WWE is having videos of their events taken down. Which sucks because I occasionally watch wrestling on YouTube if I'm in the mood.

    Calling To The Night. My favorite MGS tunes.

    My speakers are unplugged but I'll be sure to check it out soon.

    Here's the earliest song I love of her's. Sadly it's all but forgotten now but I've probably played it two dozen times the last several weeks after discovering it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEhL07UCkb4

    She's also a fine actress. And she recorded her songs in about a half dozen languages which makes her achievements seem even more amazing.

    Wish I had saw her in concert a decade ago when she wasn't too far away.

    I imagine that with an enjoyment of such music that you have a hard time stomaching today's music. I may be wrong, but I've never heard anybody who was a fan of something like Baby Lover say how much they love them some Gaga.

    She also acted in movies. I've seen her in a couple of Western's from the 50's over the years.

    Emergency! is actually one of the few 1970's shows that graces my DVD shelving. All six seasons and the post season 6 tv movies are in my DVD collection. And the show it was spun-off from is also there in its entirety (Adam-12, the best police show ever made).

    Nothing yet for Dragnet though which is what Adam-12 originated from but someday I'll buy the four seasons from the 60's/70's revival of it (I wish I could buy the 50's seasons on DVD since that was the best era of the show but they're locked away in vaults unlikely to ever be seen again).

    "I thought Downtown came out way before the 60's."

    Downtown was one of the top hits for 1965. One of the best years ever for music with releases like Downtown, Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers, etc.

    "I imagine that with an enjoyment of such music that you have a hard time stomaching today's music. I may be wrong, but I've never heard anybody who was a fan of something like Baby Lover say how much they love them some Gaga."

    I couldn't of even told you she was a singer (I've heard of the name though). So you'd be quite right. :)

    My music interest really starts to decline right around the tail end of the 1960's. There's relatively little from the 1970's that I'm crazy about, very little from the 1980's (And what little there is often came from groups and people like The Beach Boys and Roy Orbison that were popular years earlier and enjoyed brief revivals in the 80's), and hardly anything from the 1990's (And the little bit there is all Country). There isn't a single song I'm aware of liking from the 2000's.

    As far as my taste in music, movies, and television go, it's all about the 30's through the 60's (And 50's and 60's for television since obviously it wasn't around earlier). There's the occasional modern movie that I enjoy but they're few and far between (I've watched You've Got Mail which was a remake of a favorite of mine called the "The Shop Around the Corner" from about 1940, Saving Private Ryan, Apollo 13, and Space Cowboys in recent months and enjoyed all of them).

    Since I seem to like some of Tom Hank's movies, I'm keeping my eyes out for Sleepless in Seattle (A remake of An Affair to Remember which is one of my favorite movies) and The Money Pit (A remake of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House which is another favorite). But I guess this is a music thread so I'll shut up now. :)

  • This is a personal favorite of mine. The video is pretty high up on my favorites list too.

    I REALLY hate Robin Thicke though. How fair is it that he is attractive and can sing!? That's like an athlete poking a handicapped kid in the eye before a foot race. You already have the advantage, why go for the overkill!? Oh well. That's the only song by him that I like, so it's not like I'm reminded of him too often.

    Other than rock and rap, I really don't like male vocalists much. Some exceptions, but not many.

    And funny enough, I actually like a Gaga song. That Just Dance is pretty catchy. It would be better without the autotuned vocals. I don't get why people who have good voices use that

    POSTED 6 YEARS AGO #
  • That's what's so scary about Gaga. I think everybody has one song they like from her. I like that one called Paparazzi. That's why it's so hard to get rid of her. I think she does it on purpose. "What's on the agenda today? Oh, yeah! Make a good song to prove that I am musically talented!"

  • Drum and Bass is a pain in the a** to make. It always sounds sloppy (when I do it) because the whole genre itself has a whole bunch of tracks that are radically different in some way, and to top it all of, the BPM is really high making it hard to actually mix it.

  • Ha, I remember when I first heard that song, I wondered what the heck Cher was doing, seemingly making herself sound worse on purpose.

    I don't know anything about ABBA, but this video featuring one of their songs lip-synched by Vocaloid Megurine Lukais remarkably well done. Consider that it was created by a player via the Edit Mode of the PSP's Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA 2nd game (rendered here on a PS3 using the Dreamy Theater add-on--which I'd really like to get someday for my copy of the first Project DIVA). The guy did a remarkably slick job with the choreography and lip-synching.

    About 2 weeks ago, a game called "Vectros" released for the iPhone. The music in it was done by former Taito Zuntata member (one of the founders) Hisayoshi Ogura. Check out a sample of it here. The full track is available on Amazon MP3 and iTunes. It's the first work of his I'm aware of since his contributions to DariusBurst, its remix album, and the Zuntata 25th anniversary album. By the way, that video has a very brief snapshot of the composer himself.

    Earlier in this topic, I referred to the super bizarre ending theme of Dragon Half. As I expected, that song made it into Inside Anime Expo's list of top 10 WTF anime songs.

    To end this post, I'll leave you with this amazing user-made music video done in Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA. I've actually had this particular edit data on my Memory Stick for years, but the visuals in the clip are amped up by virtue of being output by the PS3 Dreamy Theater app. The song is "Information High," a song sung in Macross Plus (one of a great many) by the story's virtual idol, Sharon Apple. The great irony about having Hatsune Miku sing (lip-synch) this song is that Hatsune Miku herself is a real-world virtual idol. :D But that novelty aside, the video is still remarkable in that its creator actually manages to maintain a bit of narrative--separate from the song's, while still fitting it well. Really, superb work, in both design and execution. By the way, I think the majority of the Dislikes on that clip are from ignoramuses who expected this to be a Hatsune Miku song, oblivious to both Project DIVA's Edit Mode and Macross Plus.

  • On the weirder experimental side of things, Amon Tobin's ISAM is an incredible collection of, if not songs, then textures in sound. What textures they are, though! There's slurps, warbling whooshes, springy metallic tension noises, and eerie female vocals(which are actually modified sounds of Tobin's singing).

    If you're into this kind of sonic experimentation, the full album is up here.

    Interesting. When I was younger, I used to be a big Negativland fan, which was an experimental-industrial group, mostly famous for getting sued by people who they borrowed sample from (like U2 and Pepsi)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ABXBX8BmGM

    Legendary Pink Dots too, though they were more music, less samples.

    I keep watching this one youtube channel (or uploader or whatever) because I keep trying to get into Psychobilly.

    But they also post some other weird stuff like this

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww8lovvwHtQ

    It's a heavy metal band apparently fronted by an opera singer. It's certainly one of the strangest things I've heard. Or seen, though I feel bad, it's like a lady version of Meatloaf.

  • The composer of the excellent adventure game Machinarium, Floex(Tomas Dvorak), has a great album called Zorya. You can listen to the whole thing on his bandcamp page.

    It's Nu-Jazz with plenty of Floex's clarinet playing throughout. "Precious Creature" is a standout, being the only track with vocals. The whole album's got a very unique sound, and the warm clarinet tones compliment the harsher electronic backdrops very nicely.

    I got Beaterator the day it came out and in that time I've only made these two tracks. Made them using what was already available. I have not the slightest idea how to make music. I have the interest, but like everything else, I just don't want to be bothered.

  • I've been addicted to Breakbeat this week, and after a bit of searching(breakbeat is scarce these days!), I discovered Colombo, a Spanish producer and DJ. His stuff is just top-notch.

    Your Dream Will Go is a particular favorite of mine, but Gods is an even bigger banger.

    Anyone else know some particularly good Breakbeat? It was Wipeout soundtracks that introduced me to the genre, but I've found it difficult to find stuff on par with that level of quality.

    As to breakbeat, that's something I like, but it is tricky finding stuff. All I can suggest is a couple of DJs - Dave London and of course, DJ Icey

    DJ Icey has some downloads (albeit a bit out of date) of his radio show on his site
    http://www.djicey.com/downloads.htm

    Dave London has a bunch of remixes on youtube. His record label does a lot of breakbeat remixes of songs.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHvznW3rEZ8

    And for progressive breakbeat, Luke Chable puts out some pretty good stuff, though also does progressive house

    That remix is pretty good, but I prefer the original song.

    My favorite song from that Justice album is DVNO. Back when I had a HUGE crush on Rachael Ray I replaced DVNO with EVOO. Eventually her voice started to annoy the hell out of me so I got over her. I've since replaced my crush on her with my crush on Tina Fay.

    Messiah was one of the artists that got me back into listening to dance music (back in the mid 90s), and There Is No Law is one of my favorite songs, but I had never heard the rap version. It's really pretty good (and some of it was left into the album/regular mix of the song)

    Strangely, a few years later, they released a progressive rock album that sounded like Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Definitely one of the most curious changes in musical direction.

    The sad thing is that I used to look like him, and we are the same age. He aged a lot better than I have. Okay, I probably have more muscles, so I could probably take him in a fight, but still, he has more hair and less flab.

    This is probably the wrong place to ask, but I don't know any better place.

    Does anyone who can remember the 1980s, remember if the Police had a music video for their song Synchronicity II?

    I head that on the radio today and went to look it up on youtube, but they don't have it. But I swear, I remember seeing one.

    More proof that culture peaked in the 1980s

    There has been a disturbing lack of strangeness in culture since the '90s. It's like how the '40s and '50s were so drab after the 1920s.

    House, not techno. And you mean David Guetta. (Sorry, I take dance music seriously. It's one of my worst flaws, along with being too handsome)

    The only guy in the Village People who could actually sing, Victor Willis, left it back in the '80s for a solo career (which er, didn't go well). Thus presumably the auto-tune being needed.

    I haven't sat down and listened to a rap album in a long time. When it comes to rap, I have a very particular ear. I can tolerate the typical cars, hoes, drugs, guns but in VERY small quantities. Well, one of my Xbox baby mommas kept pestering me about Kendrick Lamar. I avoided listening to the cat because I was being an a** by not, and usually people recommend crap from people rapping about eating babies or some crazy sh*t. Not understanding that I'm not interested in suspicious crap, just not typical radio rap.

    Anyway, long story short I got good kid, m.A.A.d city a few weeks ago and I can't stop listening to it. It's been a while since I've heard an album that tells a good story. Last time I enjoyed a mainstream rap album this much was when Late Registration came out. I hope he keeps it up.

    Finally, I found the video I remember. I thought I was going crazy, because there were 3 other videos for the song.

    That's the least popular of the 3 on youtube, but it's the one I remember seeing back in the day.

    But if a song deserves 4 videos, I think that one does.

    I'm 30, actually. Frankie Valli is one of the big stars from the 1960's when groups like the Beach Boys were big. Then they kind of reinvented themselves to adapt to the changing times of the 70's and had a string of big successes again but I'm not crazy about those songs.

    For whatever reason, music from this era just always sounded best to me and Frankie Valli was one of the best. The first song I fell in love with was Downtown by Petula Clark, a major hit from 1964, when the song was only 20 years old or so and I've just liked this music my entire life. I can't even remember a time when I didn't like these songs.

    The 1960's, especially the first 2/3's of it, were music's glory years. 50's were second for me, I like a lot of music from the 40's from stars like Bing Crosby, and several dozen songs from the 70's and 80's reside on my MP3 player. Nothing past 1990 though to the best of knowledge.

    Indeed. I was surprised enough to discover that Reaperman at AtariAge is younger than me, too (that guy sounds like a crusty 50-something years old to me). Maybe my worldview is all wrong.

    You know, in middle school, I had a friend who used the expression "for crying out loud." It was something I'd only read in books from decades ago, and so I always thought he sounded like he was 30 years too young.

    I kind of guessed Atariboy was in the 30 range. Other than his old folk taste in music and movies, he gives off that 30 vibe. The only person I can't seem to tell how old they are is Freelance. I want to say she's around my age, but I swear I get a 60+ vibe from her sometimes.

    I was checking the free music section on the Play store today. Supposedly it provides us with music from the future of music. It just ends up being a reminder that the future is going to suck.

    But I saw a song that featured Q-Tip. That alone made it worth a listen. Turned out to be a really soulful track that I ended up enjoying a great deal.

    For a minute I thought you meant these guys

    Q-Tip? Is there a musician named Klee-Nex? Or maybe Drain-O?

    It seems like almost every sort of music today is pop, the stuff shoved down consumers throats by record companies. Okay, sure, there is some slight difference, you have country flavored pop, and hip-hop flavored pop

    There has always been pop, but usually there was other stuff that was popular. How many bands sell out stadiums these days? I guess maybe U2 still does, but I can't think anyone else.

    And I think Freelance was gaming in the 1990s, so that likely makes her 25-32 or so.

    Just downloaded 3 and a half gigs of Frankie Valli music. Lots of nice songs I wasn't aware of. :)

    Getting some Christmas music ready to put on my MP3 player. Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Doris Day, Frank Sinatra, 60's stuff from people like the Beach Boys, Ronettes, and Elvis (And a few Frankie Valli Christmas songs), songs from A Charlie Brown Christmas, and some other odds and ends from throughout the years.

    The oldies stations around here will be playing nothing but after Thanksgiving. But only about 1 in 3 is anything good and they they only seem to pick 1-2 songs even from greats like Bing Crosby and Perry Como that were responsible for a lot of the best ones and repeat them instead of having some variety.

    A CD of 8-bit remixes (with vocals) of 80s American pop songs (though they're neither all American nor from the 80s, I believe) is set to release in Japan shortly from 5pb.

    If you're thinking the singer HIMECHA has pretty good English pronunciation, I think that's a new spelling of HIMEKA, who's a Canadian living in Japan who won a singing competition several years ago, her debut being the first opening title of the Valkyria Chronicles anime. I think Canadians can speak some English, eh?

    Those don't really sound 8-bit, it sounds like they just auto-tuned the vocals.

    POSTED 5 YEARS AGO #

    The instrumental parts are played by a Famicom, hence the "8-bit."

    This is perhaps the most German synth-pop band ever. And with a song based on an old Fritz Lang movie (Dr. Mabuse)

    I miss the days when women looked like this

    GermanNewWaveChick_zpsf2549e64.jpg

    POSTED 5 YEARS AGO #

    I do miss women having hair like that. The expression, not so much.

    From the 3-disc collection of Ys original and arranged music that came with Ys: Memories of Celceta's Silver Anniversary Edition, I've gotten kind of addicted to "Lilia ~English Version~". The arrangement is from 1989, but, to my ears at least, it has a very 70s feel to it. String section harmonies, saxophone solos, and a mood which probably wouldn't feel out of place on The Love Boat. Very sweeping, romantic sound. The singer is Akino Arai, who's sung a fair amount of songs for anime, including Outlaw Star's ending themes, the mesmerizing "Voices" in Macross Plus, and a few Record of Lodoss War songs. This is the first time I've ever heard her sing in English, though, and I'm impressed with her pronunciation. Not perfect, but quite good.

    Oh, wow, the LSO has performed an arrangement of this (in a suite with other Ys melodies) as well.

    Is it actually Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, or just people claiming to be them? Like the Village People, none of them are the original Village People, they just call themselves that.

    And I wonder if they will perform any of their disco era songs?

    Only the lead singer Frankie Valli is still there. The others are replacements.

    I imagine that December 1963, My Eyes Adored You, and Grease definitely will be sung for his Disco era stuff since I think all were #1's. But it's the 60's stuff like Rag Doll that I'm going there for so I hope he concentrates on that.

    Was a 13 hour trip but it was worth it. I was about half the age of the average person in the audience, lol, but he still sounds great and all of my favorites were sung including two I didn't think were too likely (Silence is Golden and I've Got You Under My Skin).

    What should've taken 3 hours getting there took 5 because I had to travel through the Lake Ontario snowbelt in the worst visibility conditions of my life. For about 20 minutes, I didn't think I was going to make it thanks to blowing snow bringing visibility down so much where we were using the side windows to see where the edges of the road were more than the front windshield.

    Got on the interstate since I was scared of oncoming traffic and got in a convoy doing about 10mph with their 4 ways on until we cleared the snowbelt. I think being higher up helped get us out of the blowing snow too since I could see a little on there.

    Then, a long detour home to avoid the snowbelt.

    Forgot to say that they did do Swear'in to God. They also did My Eyes Adored You, December 1963, and another one I hear frequently from the 70's that I can't recall the name of off hand (No Grease but I assume there are rights issues there).

    And he did basically every one of his 60's songs that I love. He performed for about 1:40 minutes too which apparently is somewhat rare for singers. I was under the impression it would be about an hour.

    Also it's kind of funny that while known as being a falsetto singer, almost all of his disco stuff was sung in a regular voice. While the Bee Gees had great success mixing falsetto with disco.

    Also Barry Gibb (of the Bee Gees) wrote Grease and does back-up vocals on it.

    I've always liked Duran Duran. They really made a remarkable "comeback" with that album.

    Not that they were washed up, but they were sort of an '80s band and to come back with something so strong in the 90s was impressive...

    You would have enjoyed the Olympics figure skating gala (post-competition exhibition) performance last Saturday by the French ice dancing pair Nathalie Péchalat and Fabian Bourzat (they finished in 4th place). It used the song and apparently even the dance moves from Dirty Dancing that are associated with the song. I haven't seen the movie in decades, if ever at all, so I don't know for sure, but if you want to check it out, here is their performance of the same program at an earlier competition's gala, in Nice, France.

    Here's an obscure 80s New Wave song called Computer Games

    On occasion they perform in front of a screen of one. I don't remember the other two, but this one I'm sure I played. I remember that cow.

  • Computer game or arcade game? I don't think any home computer could do vector graphics like that in 1979.

    Has to be arcade. Not Night Driver...

  • It looks like the game was Speed Freak, by Vectorbeam. Arcade-History.com's page for the game says only 700 units were produced.

    I found the game by putting "vector driving game arcade cow" into Google; the game's Wikipedia page was the fourth result, and the Arcade-Museum.com page (first link above) was the fifth.

    Thanks! When I tried a very similar search, "70s arcade driving game cow" the only thing I got was Night Driver, which wasn't it.

    Apparently there was a handheld version of it from Mattel that I also had

  • Sampling in hip-hop is a phenomenal thing. In the right hands anyway. I know sampling is done in pretty much all genres of music, but you give a skilled hip-hop producer a song and he can create some pretty amazing stuff. Madlib is a master at it.

    Accordion samples Experience
    Fancy Clown samples That Ain’t the Way You Make Love

    Kanye is great at it too.

    Testify samples Innocent Til Proven Guilty
    Heard 'Em Say samples Someone That I Used To Love

    J Dilla was God like.

    Two Can Win samples Only One Can Win
    Bye samples Don't Say Goodnight

    A good sample gives you a sense of nostalgia and the excitement of hearing that song as if it has no connection to the song it samples. It's a beautiful thing.

    Yeah, I agree.

    My favorite is Red Kult - Call Me which samples Stevie Winwood and some other song. It was released as a DJ only promo, then some other guy took it, remade it, and had a pretty big hit (at least in Europe).

    And it's fascinating what is still popular - this song by Alphaville that I've never heard of before has 7 and a half million plays on youtube.

    POSTED 4 YEARS AGO #

    Perhaps it was just being used for rickrolling?

    I can't recall if I've ever brought up this song in the previous 16 pages of this thread, but the ending song from Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, "Oh, Angel" (English version's title), is not bad. Or, at least, those parts where it switches into minor key sound pretty cool. The rest of it is fairly unremarkable, I think.

    The YouTube clip above is low on volume, but it was the only stereo rendition of the song I could find.

    No. Strictly speaking, I don't like techno, but I like electronic dance music, it's mostly what I listen to. (I don't like the specific genre known as techno. Mostly)

    I'm not sure what I mean. I guess partially the slowness. I'd guess modern stuff tends to be 90 bpm at most, while it used to be 110-130.

    Like this is a slow song from the '80s, Imagination-Just an Illusion, yet it's still close to 110 bpm

    You know, I have watched probably well over a 100 movies that were originally in Italian and dubbed into English by Italians. Most of them are much worse than in that video.

    What's worse are the Godzilla movies. It's like they pick a random school in Japan and pick out a few 10 year old boys to do the dubbing.

    And then when they need an American to appear in the movie, they don't get an actual actor, but apparently someone who happens to be living there for whatever reason.

    That actually worked out well when they got a wrestler (or something, the guy in Godzilla Final Wars), but most of the time it's awful.

    And that Sonic song seems too busy to be relaxing, like there's a background track doing something else besides the main melody. It's not bad at all, but just a little distracting.

    This is relaxing to me, one of my favorite albums.

    Isaac Rebirth's soundtrack is a mixed bag. Most consider it better than the original one's, but I think that Vanilla's first two chapter's musics are wonderful.

    Then I heard Rebirth's Sketches of Pain. It's already awesome on its own, but when the guitar starts playing (after 2:15, if you're lazy enough not to listen to it), it becomes one of my favorite themes ever.

    Most video game music sounds alike to me, but in that case, the guitar makes it stand out.

    While we're on the subject of songs from 80s fantasy movies, here's "Hitomi no Naka no Far Away", from the 1989 movie adaptation of a tiny portion of Mamoru Nagano's massive manga space epic, The Five Star Stories. Feels like quite the 80s song. Looking at my manga library, I find I have about half of the American release of it.

    Hmmm, there's a lack of dancing (20+ year old) school girls in that video. No wonder it only has 250 views compared to 3 million.

    Hawk the Slayer has a pretty epic theme, though it sounds somewhat like Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds..

    And then there was Clannad's theme song to Robin of Sherwood

    I'm not sure why I never posted about this, but here is my favorite arrangement of the Doctor Who theme. It's the Second Doctor's, which is similar to the arrangement used for the Third and Fourth but with two extra measures in the introduction.

    Yow, that disco remix of the Doctor Who theme is pretty terrible. It entirely drops the original, signature bassline, and it even butchers the actual theme melody (whether intentionally or out of ignorance, I can't tell).

    They changed it to be funkier. Which I think works, but it is a little weird sounding if you are used to the original.

    There's a second disco version, less popular, but closer to the original.

    And this is the best I can do for Street Fighter

    POSTED 4 YEARS AGO #

    Hey, that second disco version is pretty good. I like it. Thanks!

    I like it better than this 1980 rendition of the theme that was arranged by the composer, Ron Grainer, himself. He composed the theme, but the actual implementation of it for airing in 1963 was done by Delia Derbyshire (and assistants) at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop; he composed something simple for them to work with, knowing that the sounds the Workshop would be generating would be difficult and time-consuming to produce, and they took it from there. So, the final sound of it was beyond what he had personally envisioned. According to the description for it, the arrangement linked above is his own work . . . and I have to say I don't like it much. :)

    Man, that set and the recording being on black and white videotape makes it look a whole lot like early Doctor Who.

    Anyway, yeah, that Vangelis-style version wasn't bad. I do think the instruments should have had more reverb or echo added, though. The notes sounded a little too discrete for me.

    From what I heard (not much), it's mostly jazz, though. Then again, I can't really tell the difference.

    Actually, that's makes me wonder about something - your radio stations play stuff like that? (And Bruno Mars)? Aren't there Italian music artists that they play? Or is it a mix?

    (Though come to think of it, Bruno Mars is pretty much an Italian name...)

    We don't get much stuff from other countries with the exception of the UK, and even there, a lot of times UK artists are much, much bigger in the UK than the US.

    Golden Earring is pretty much the exception, and they don't sound like they are from the Netherlands.

    I gave in to the dark side and downloaded to my mobile two Vocaloid songs that we already talked about: Palette and World End's Dance Hall. Yes, I don't know what's gotten into me, either.
    Must be the thought of having to wear glasses in a few days. I am turning into an otaku. The bad kind of otaku.

    I gotta admit, that''s pretty good singing. I'd never know they were robots.

    Buddy Holly wore glasses. He was cool. As long as you don't buy any maid figurines, you'll be okay. Or fly in a small plane in bad weather with an untalented fat guy.

    Unfortunately many songs (and singers such as Rin) are as ear piercing as it can possibly get. Headache guaranteed.
    I might actually be able to do some decent stuff with Vocaloid. It doesn't seem to be hard at all, and the singer doesn't appear in fullscreen, either. I don't want to be viewed as a girly girl stuff lover/pervert (depending on the person that sees me).

    It was supposed to be a joke, I guess.

    I never really understood this maid fetish. Is it because "she's a maid, she can do whatever you want"? Aside from that hypothesis, I don't get all this drooling over girls in maid costumes.

    Same here. Maids are cleaning staff. Yet no one has janitor fetishes, as far as I know. Of course, if janitors were outfitted with bladed weapons, or even better, transforming bladed weapons, that would be pretty damned cool. "Hi, I'm here to disinfect the room--starting with you."

    Otaku is an offense in Japanese: it means that I'm a person that stays at home all the time and prefers to play games and watch anime than to go out with friends. Oh, wait, that's me.

    If they didn't give it to you, that means you didn't hear them screaming words ending with -i (in Japanese and many languages in Europe it's supposed to be pronounced "ee").

    The word you're thinking of is "hikikomori," not "otaku." An otaku is just someone who is a fervent fan of something. For example, a ガンオタク, "gun otaku," is someone who really, really likes guns. Being labeled as an otaku is somewhat demeaning, but only in the same way as being called a nut in English. You know, like a gun nut. There is no "loner" stigma associated with being an otaku; on the contrary, many otaku are very eager to share their interests with others. Sometimes, perhaps too eager.

     

    If they didn't give [headaches] to you, that means you didn't hear them screaming words ending with -i

     

    Actually, I very rarely am able to parse actual words out of what Vocaloids sing. And in fact, I often can't tell what real people are singing, either. I do know, though, that I don't think I've ever heard any Vocaloid doing what I would consider screaming.

     

    the singer doesn't appear in fullscreen, either

     

    I still don't understand what you were talking about here. It's voice synthesis software; why would there be any directly associated visuals at all? That's done totally separately, no?

    Shoju Meguro has announced that Persona 5 will have "Acid Jazz influences" for its soundtrack.
    Considering what one of his jazzy tracks turned out to be, I'm kinda happy. Not that I didn't enjoy his Jpop/Jrap tracks.
    Oh, and the trailer's theme is supposed to be an intrumental version of the main theme.

    [link]

    For me, not only is it a fantastic track, he's saying what I've always said in regards to black people. That's a subject too heavy for this thread though.

  • Man, based on the track listing, I might really enjoy Exit Trance Presents Speed Anime Trance Complete Best 2(whose limited edition, incidentally, came with one of the Puchi Colle figures). Someone uploaded the entire CD (I've linked to the GitS:SAC "Inner Universe" remix), and I like most of what I've heard so far. Well, at least I don't object to it much; trance isn't really my thing.

    Huh, two or three of the characters on the cover later became Puchi Colle figures in Exit Trance/Tunes limited editions.

    ell, at least I don't object to it much; trance isn't really my thing.

     

    Despite the name, that cd isn't trance. Sounds more like some sort of happy hardcore.

    See, this is an example of happy hardcore
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3lE91wz9zA

    This is trance (probably my favorite track from 2014)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMi9heTZUwI

    It's somewhat slower (usually 130-140 bpm vs 160-180 for happy hardcore) and less manic sounding and more organic, usually.

    POSTED 4 YEARS AGO #
  • You know, when I started listening to that CD (at YouTube), I thought, "This is trance? Seems more hyper than what I recall being defined as 'trance.'" Namely, I don't think you could go into a trance listening to it. In fact, starting with the song right after "Inner Universe" ("Don't Say Lazy," the first ending title of K-On!), the tempo actually accelerates and stays that way for several songs, up until the Macross Frontier song "What 'bout My Star?". I really don't think it fit "Don't Say Lazy" well.

    And also, "happy hardcore" is an actual genre? One of the tracks on my Fate/tiger colosseum Original Soundtrack CD is a "happy hardcore" remix of the game's opening song. I'd always thought the phrase was just something the remixer had made up.

    Well, hardcore is the genre, happy hardcore is the subgenre. There's several other variants, like terrorcore which is basically the opposite of happy.

  • Some people in the comments of the ETPSATCB2 rip on YouTube called it "nightcore."

    In other news, ahhh, a cultural treasure unearthed by watching Ghost Sweeper Mikami. Apparently, this "song" is quite well known in Japan (I mean in Japanese, where it starts out "Mitchan michi michi unko tarete"). I guess it sort of corresponds to "Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg."

    I don't mind the sax, but the drums aren't doing it any favors. And the electronic sounding music about 1:30 in doesn't fit it well.

    You Give Love A Bad Name, Bon Jovi 
    Listened to it a minute ago.

    Falling Down, Duran Duran
    Do I like them this much? Maybe.
    Funny how I always thought that they said "Summoner, can you help me?" until I searched for the song, not knowing the title, until I decided to Google "hit the ground" instead. The first search only linked to League of Legends stuff, for some reason. Now I know that it's "Someone out/ there to help me".

    I was playing Final Fantasy Tactics the first time I listened to it. That's why I heard "Summoner".
    From Wikipedia:

    A summoner was an officer of an ecclesiastical court, usually that of a bishop or an archdeacon, whose job it was to deliver a summons to an offending member of the diocese. Offenses dealt with by such courts included "sins of immorality, witchcraft, usury, simony, neglect of the sacraments, and withholding tithes or offering".

    It existed in real life, at least.

     

    Heaven (Persona Live), Shihoko Hirata. The best (in my opinion) Persona song, in an even better and longer version. Though I prefer the original version's intro (dat piano).

    Wasn't that always true, though? In the '50s you'd have rock bands dress up in leather jackets, and jazz musicians wore sweaters and such (which was considered "thug" wear back then).. The Who (and several other British bands) dressed as Mods, punk bands dressed like, well, punks. Country singers dressed as cowboys.

    And this is a few days late, but here's a video with Leonard Nimoy in it. He doesn't sing, unfortunately, he's just there for comic relief.

    In the 1950's, you had people like James Dean that would certainly have been perceived as dressing that way. But the vast majority weren't.

    But things started to change in the late 1960's.

    Of course, it wasn't always bad. Petula Clark and her mini skirts, for instance. :)

    Apparently dressing up strange doesn't always help the record sales

    Villagepeople_renaissance.jpg

    They tried to change their image/sound to be like The Cure or Human League or something. They really should have stayed with disco, that still sold into '82...

    Wait, they removed and replace a theme because...?

    War: The White Weapon, the "evil mechs" boss theme from Final Fantasy Type-0. This is by far my favorite game theme of the year. It may not be new, since the game originally came out in 2011, but this is a remaster of the old theme (kinda like FFX/X-2 for PS3/V), with a slightly higher pitched guitar and sounding more "real", so it is kinda new.

    Sniper, you should include some description of what you're linking when you make these posts. Title or artist, at least. If you're expecting the mystery to be enough of a click lure, it at least doesn't work on me.

    Here's something for JeremyR. I don't know what genre this counts as, but "trance" and "house" come to mind--not that I know what really fits into those terms (this probably doesn't meet a BPM requirement for those). Anyway, here'san extended remix that Dominic Glynn did last year with his "Trial of a Time Lord" Doctor Who theme arrangement. It's part of a 4-track mini album of remixes that Glynn released. Ordinarily, Glynn's arrangement of the theme is my least favorite official arrangement (that experimental "Delaware" one that was never really used notwithstanding). It doesn't feel to me like it goes with the show. This remix does more interesting things with it, though.

    I completely missed your post about the Dr. Who theme. That's quite good.

    I probably say its genre is ambient house, as popularized by The Orb, which combined ambient (Brian Eno) and house, though it also seems to have a touch of breakbeat, which could also qualify it as atmospheric breaks

    And on a different tangent, I've gotten on a Rainbow kick. Their post-Dio era was better than I thought.

    The video for Death Alley Driver features a video game (Turbo, I think), though it's not that great a song. Street of Dreams is one of those songs I used to love, but had complete forgotten about. Stone Cold, too.

    It's funny, I probably haven't heard those in 30 years, but I instantly recognized them...

    Most epic thing I've heard in DBZ history:
    http://youtu.be/48te2r4Kai8

    POSTED 4 YEARS AGO #

    During the eras of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors (i.e., the first 5 years of new Who), there was a solo a cappella theme, melancholic and ethereal, that was used whenever we caught a glimpse of the Doctor's mysterious past. I looked it up a while back and discovered that it was just "The Doctor's Theme." The last time that it appeared was rather spectacular; as the Tenth regenerated into the Eleventh amid a violent eruption of energy, a full chorus belted out the theme one final time. It's near the end of "Vale Decem" (Latin, "Farewell Ten"), the piece of music which plays for the Tenth's last few minutes. Incidentally, the translation shown there of all the lyrics is pretty good, but I swear the subject of one of the verses should be "I" and not the "we" written on the screen.

    And now, stepping back away from orchestral music, here is the opening title of Mighty Switch Force! Hose It Down!, also the opening title of Mighty Switch Force! 2. Is it just me, or is there a Motown flavor to it?

    It's not about nostalgia, it's just that I didn't listen to this song for a long time. Besides, I can't be nostalgic over a 6 year old song.

    But this? Lady (Hear Me Tonight), Modjo? I'm really feeling it. I loved this song so much back then, even though I didn't listen to it as much as people in the year 2000 did. After all, I was only 2.

    Nope, not that one either. But, the beginning of it almost immediately reminded me of "Tokihanate!" ("Release!"; you'll have to get ~30s in to hear the similar bit), the opening title song of the 1999 post-apocalyptic sci-fi anime TV series Blue Gender. Another series where I have the whole thing on DVD but have seen only the first few episodes. The song is sung by voice actress Houko Kuwashima, who played the female lead in the show and still has a very active career.

    Back in 2009, when I first got an half decent Internet connection, I wanted to download PC games as much as I could. One of my favorite websites was caiman.us, whose creator tragically passed shortly after I got there.
    One of my favorite games was Koopa: A Winter's Tale, a simple and relaxing platform game with an equally relaxing music, playing throughout the whole game, which I still hum after all these years, even though I didn't even know the name of it.
    Until now, that is. Since I like to watch reviews of the games that I want to buy, yesterday I watched the lengthy Happy Video Game Nerd's review/retrospective of Earthbound. And what do I hear at the 6:25 mark? That music. "It actually came from Earthbound?" I asked to myself. Enthusiastic, I went to search for "earthbound snow theme" on Youtube as fast as I could.
    Snowman, from Earthbound, is one of the greatest musics in gaming history, in my humble opinion. And I even completely ignored the Smash Brawl version due to the useless choir they added in at the beginning, hadn't I done that, I would have found that much faster.
    Another game I remember is Super Mario XP, a tough as nails Super Mario and Castlevania crossover. Long story short, I found the music that I liked the most much quicker, by playing the original game.
    Introducing Heart of Fire, from the very first Castlevania.

     

    I really would have liked to visit Italy in the 1980s, they had good music.

    That's not an Italian song, do you want a legendary 80s Italian song, I can post dozens of legendary 80s Italian songs.
    Need to ask dad, though, I mostly know international ones, oddly enough.

    I assume this means you didn't introduce yourself to him with "Hi, I'm your #1 stalker!"

     

    I think onmode-ky probably dresses like that.

     

    I have zero (0) suspenders in my wardrobe.

    A couple of days ago, a long forgotten song popped into my head out of the blue. All I could remember was the melody, so I couldn't just search the lyrics to identify what it was. But, I had a strong feeling that it was the ending song to an anime series I had seen a long time ago; while playing it my head, I kept feeling like it should be accompanied by a series of boldly colored still images. I briefly thought at first that maybe I was thinking of a Fushigi Yugi ending title (though definitely not from the TV series, whose ending title I know for certain), since that's a show with similarly jazzy ending songs. After rummaging around through my memories for a while, it finally occurred to me: it was the ending song from Legend of Himiko, a late 90s TV anime based on a PS1 game (whose release it actually predated). One of my standout memories from the show was that, despite being not too interesting for most of its 12 episodes, the story had a REALLY good ending. And the opening title is very beautiful.

    I guess they were only big in the UK, but Imagination was a really good '80s funk band

    And curiously, the lead singer was on an episode of Doctor Who in 1983. I don't think I've seen that episode in 30 years though (have most of the early ones, but not that one)

    As you might expect, I've never even heard of them.

    Here is (most of) an arrangement of the Final Fantasy Prelude that I've had on my drive for about 15 years, by drum & bass artist Epidose/Desimal. A few years ago, I searched around the Web to see what else this guy did; all I knew of his work was this and two other pieces I'd found at about the same time. It wasn't an easy search, with most results for "epidose" just being misspellings of "episode" (I hadn't found his other pen name yet) but I eventually found that his real name was Graham March, and he had committed suicide around 2006. :( To my surprise, the link above is the only one I could find on YouTube of his FF Prelude remix, and it isn't even complete. That's damned sad, as it's just a beautifully done reworking of that familiar theme.

    That's weird that teenage girls would scream for that. I thought they saved it for boy bands/idols.

    I'm so surprised that I wonder if that footage (and background audio) of the screaming female audience were actually edited in from some other act. Never mind the gender of the singers; it doesn't even seem like the type of song that should get that kind of reaction.

    That page had very little of his work--at least compared to this YouTube channel. I assume all of that channel is his music, anyway. Oh, hey, I just noticed that the FF Prelude epidose remix really is at that channel, listed plainly as "Prelude."

    Most of these 60's musical variety shows like American Bandstand, Shindig, The Ed Sullivan Show, Top of the Pops, and so on were done live. Yet the girls still scream even when it's a girl group.

    The only ones I know of that weren't, were Shivaree and The King Family Show which were produced in advance on videotape

    This is from a concert film called The Big T.N.T Show, shot in front of a live audience. But I suppose they may of embellished a bit, although like I said, they screamed even on the live shows.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QM9wSyn8BY (At 11:15 or so, is one of my favorite performances of Downtown that Petula Clark did, which has been my favorite song literally for as long as I can remember. They didn't scream for her, for some reason.).

    I'd love to get a good quality copy of this and its predecessor, the T.A.M.I. Show. Wish I could've saw Petula Clark in concert in 1965. :(

    Sometimes, but often they didn't.

    A good telltale sign is if mics can be seen or not. And if in doubt, does it sound exactly like the recording (That upload of mine of Be My Baby is noticeably different sounding than the record version, for instance).

    Something like this (From The Ed Sullivan Show, where no lip syncing was allowed), or that concert movie, is obviously not.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icXwhfIjOlw

    And Hullabaloo was always broadcast live and with no lip syncing, for another popular one that I neglected to mention above (Sadly though, they didn't always have a band, or in the case below, a symphony to accompany them; The musicians here are just eye candy).

    There were two parts to it. A strategy part where you (playing a Weyr) tried to make alliances with various powers in Pern, then intermittently thread would fall and you'd have to allocate dragons to shoot it down in an arcade sequence (sort of like Joust meets Missile Command). How well you did affected your relationships with the various places in Pern.

    Then later in the 1990s, someone made a freeware clone of the strategy game portion for MS-DOS.

    It's a bit odd, but I wouldn't say it's one of the oddest I've ever seen. Nothing specifically comes to mind beating it, but it just strikes me as a "kind of odd" rank, rather than a "what the heck did I just see?" rank.

    There's deliberately nonsensical videos, like Grace Jones. (not safe for work and probably offensive to modern sensibilities)

    But just the sheer normality of him sitting in his home with his wife and family going about their normal lives and then you see him sitting in a chair with no arms and wanting to change the TV channel is just something out of an existentialist novel. (And it doesn't seem to fit the song at all, which is kind of a nice mellow funky tune.)

    POSTED 3 YEARS AGO #

    I don't see anything that could be interpreted as offensive in the video. It was a typical 80s video. But I guess a few people might get up their butt about a song with slave in the title, having black people in the video.

    Was racism a issue back in the 80s? I think everybody was too coked up and recouping from orgies to really care. Whenever I watch movies from then, the cast seems to be pretty diverse. I'm sure racism was there, it just seems... Less out in the open, I guess. It's kind of hard to gauge. When you ask you usually get one of two answers; "It's not as bad as it is now." or "RACISM WILL NEVER DIE!".

    I've been listening to this one song pretty heavy. I prefer the original version without Chance, but I like the video. The Chance verse is not bad, it just throws off the mood of the original.

    Eh, some of the scenes in the video are parodying old racist stuff (cartoons mostly), so that likely would be misinterpreted today. People on the internet really don't grasp parody.

    Nuclear war was really the big worry in the 1980s. As long as you weren't Russian, you were okay in most people's books.

    POSTED 3 YEARS AGO #

    I can vouch for that. Or at least, I can vouch for myself worrying about nuclear war in the 80s. I may have been in the minority among elementary school kids, though.

    As for racism, I don't think it's worse now than it was then. There were still plenty of racists back then. Movies, however, have had pretty diverse casts since the 70s, I think--or at least white people and black people, not really anyone else. And I don't mean blaxploitation films. Hollywood has been more progressive on that front than most of the US, or at least compared to small-town USA.

    I dunno. Hollywood casting is strange. Like right now there are 10 generic beefy white guys who get 90% of all roles. Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch (though I think he might have dropped out since his movies bomb), Tatum Channing, now Armie Hammer and a few others whose name escapes me. Except for Ryan Reynolds, I can't tell them apart.

    And they've always been strange when it comes to Asian roles. At least starring characters. Out of what, probably 150 Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto, and Mr Wong movies, how many were played by an actual Asian american? One, Keye Luke got to play Mr. Wong (formerly played by Boris Karloff) in one movie.

    Wow, I don't even know those characters, much less their movies. Who were they, detectives? Mr. Moto sounds like a bike racer. . . .

    By the way, the guy's name is the other way around, "Channing Tatum." That threw me the first time I saw it, too.

    Yes, they were detective movies from the first half of the 20th Century. Charlie Chan was the most popular and originally was created to counter all the Fu Manchu type stuff at the time and was based on a real life Chinese-Hawaiian detective named Apana Chang who spoke a Hawaii Creole version of English The way he talked caused a lot of confusion because people thought the movies were implying that Chinese talked like that (as opposed to some Hawaiians), even though none of his children did

    And there were numerous copycats. Mr. Moto was actually Japanese and was played by Peter Lorre. They stopped the movies after WW2 until the 1960s when they rebooted it starring Henry Silva of all people (who was Puerto Rican but played basically every ethnicity in the world, even Eskimo once). Mr Wong was Chinese of course and was I think supposed to be from Hong Kong (thus explaining Boris Karloff's accent) and was a scientist and used forensics to solve crimes.

    For 1970's, I like Simon & Garfunkel. ABBA, America, CCR, the Eagles, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons (Of course), the Grass Roots (They straddled the 60's and 70's I think), and I'm sure some others.

    Harder in the 1980's. Ignoring the Beach Boys with Kokomo, I can only thing of the couple of songs by the Traveling Wilburys that Roy Orbison sang the lead on. Still some good solo stuff in this decade though.

    This is a nice, relaxing spacey song. Not sure what to call it, almost ambient techno

    I must say that I had good taste when I was 3 and fell in love with her biggest hit, Downtown. Haven't changed my mind yet. :)

    I own the entire series on DVD for that one. Just watched an episode earlier this evening from season 1.

    I don't specifically remember falling in love with Downtown and Petula Clark, but I believe my mother says it was around that age. It happened at such a young age, just like my love for railroads, that it's just something that to my recollection always was a part of me.

    I can't remember far enough back to when that wasn't the case.

    I must have had a record player since I was 4, but for the life of me, I can't remember any albums before I was 6 or so. I had a music movie compilation with Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the Exorcist and Rollercoaster, and then Kansas's Point of Know Return which I got for Dust in the Wind.

    That was...odd.

    Then again, I just dislike the German language. OTOH, people speaking English with a German accent sounds either comical (male) or sexy (woman).

    In particular, Claudia Brucken, who was in the new wave band Propaganda (which I think I've linked to several times), but also does a lot of other stuff, including a song for a video game (LA. Noire)

    That's what I picked in high school. :) Well, that and Latin.

    I first heard Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" as the background music in this Paramount Home Video promo reel (sung by someone else) in the mid-90s. Somehow, despite the song being pretty old by then, I had never heard it on the radio before. I'm not sure I ever heard it afterward, either, but its presence on that promo reel was something I never forgot.

    I was a latecomer to ICYMI as well. There was a writer who covers the Rams that started using it. The trouble with figuring out stuff these days is you don't know if it's an acronym or someone is using text speak.

    I guess you were too young when it first came out, but Holding Out For A Hero was about as big as a song gets. The video was also fairly memorable, with her right next to the Grand Canyon.

    She always reminded me of a female Rod Stewart. They even had the same hair.

    "Billie Jean" predates "Holding Out for a Hero," but I heard it plenty of times on the radio growing up. And lots of other songs before it as well, of course. I guess "Hero" was big at release and then just burned out?

    Maybe you just never noticed it. It was a really, really big song. You'd hear it a lot in commercials and promos, too.

    Remember The Fat Boys? Probably not, but they had a bunch of hits, including one with the Beach Boys and Chubby Checker

    Funny how fat 35 years ago isn't all that fat now...well, one of them still is, but the other two not so much.

    (Also funny how different 80s rap was, much more fast paced and cheerful)

    The more I listen to Palette, the sadder I feel. But being such a masochist, I listen to it so many times.
    I can't help it. No song has ever made me feel as much as this one. It's not better than World's End Dance Hall, the instruments are barely there, it feels pretty short, and I don't even know/remember what she's saying except "Please distinguish me", but it's the one song that resonates with me the most.
    I might as well call it one of my favorite songs of all time. There, I said it. Yes, I adore a Vocaloid song. And I'm happy I downloaded that PSP Project Diva Extend demo just for the lulz (making fun of Miku basically became a meme at home) back then.

    On a completely unrelated note, Sally, from DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu Black Label is the catchiest and most pumping 26-seconds-long loop I've listened for a long time. It makes me want to buy this 10€ game's (on Amazon Italy) 10€ DLC just to listen to that.

    There are a surprisingly large number of songs named "Sally" (or with that in the name) and yet I've never known anyone named that. But yours is basically house music.

    This is a very interesting song from 1980 by John Foxx (of Ultravoxx). I know I've heard the riff, but I never remember hearing the whole song.

    Suite Photoconductivity, the 26-minute epic written by ZUNTATA for DariusBurst: Another Chronicle.
    I hated it at first, and thought it was wasted potential (a music that lasts as long as the game itself?!?), but it's slowly starting to grow up on me. I still think that it uses vocals too much, but eh, it's probably better when playing the actual game.

    Touei (aka Projection), from Darius Gaiden. I absolutely adore the change of... Pretty much everything, at a certain point of the song. I won't spoil anything, listen for yourself.

    I never thought I'd hear The Eve of War from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds used in a TV show.

    But I was wrong, it was on Fargo.

    I think it was actually made into a computer game, a RTS back in the 1990s. So it's not exactly obscure.

    Finally listened to this. I didn't like it, but neat to hear the Ronettes in something drastically different from their typical style.

    I love the lyrics in Woman in Love, which is more my speed. Too bad that many would now consider it offensive. While falling in love isn't quite yet politically incorrect, dreaming about getting married and having a family seems to be (Or at least expressing those feelings is).

    I'm actually surprised to still hear Hey Joe (Jimi Hendrix's cover of a classic folk song about a guy killing his old lady for cheating on him, which used to be socially acceptable if not necessarily legal*) and Another One Bites the Dust on the radio. And Play that Funky Music still gets played.

    OTOH, apparently you don't hear Money for Nothing anymore, or only an edited version.

    The piece of music I liked the most out of Galatea's soundtrack, "Apollo," is free to download here as an MP3 file (look for the ダウンロード link around the middle of the page). Not sure if a direct link to the file will work, but you can try.

    FYI, the song is not representative of the rest of the soundtrack. Half of it is vocal, some by humans and some by Vocaloids, and most of it is some form of, uh, pop, I guess? It's a mix of different artists, all with credits and website noted. Some nice instrumentals in there, too.

    Someone made a piano cover of Flame Over's soundtrack. I like me some jazz.
    It's the first time he included background instruments, and I'm not sure if they added more depth or not. Anyway, check him out, he's been doing it since 2005, so there are a lot of songs to listen to.

    Each of the 3 seasons of the (hilarious) Working!! anime series (AKA Wagnaria!!, in the West) has an opening theme sung by the 3 lead voice actresses in the show, while the ending themes for each season are sung by the 3 lead voice actors in the show. The girls' songs are upbeat, pop-ish songs (though the first one is apparently ska, a genre I'm not familiar with). In contrast, here's what the men sing:

    - Season 1: "Heart no Edge ni Idomou" - sounds a lot like 1950s rock to me
    - Season 2: "Itsumo no Youni Love & Peace" - funk straight out of the 70s, baby
    - Season 3: "Matsuge ni Lock" - 4 years after season 2, but we're still in the 70s

    I think this counts as unusual for anime music. All 3 songs are written by the same group, by the way, MONACA, and they also wrote the opening themes which the women sing (as well as the incidental music in the show). Japanese Wikipedia says they wrote the music in my Suzumiya Haruhi no Yakusoku PSP game, too, which was one of the first 2 PSP games I ever bought.

    Although I like surf rock, I've never liked that song. At least not the original. I like the Fat Boys version.

    Time Bomb is probably my favorite surf rock song. (Apologies to Axel's school)

    That movie needed more wet T-shirt contests to be really accurate (then again, I guess things changed from the spring break in the 60s to the '80s)

    As I've gotten older, I've really started liking synthpop from the '80s a lot more, like The Pet Shop Boys.

    Still hate Howard JOnes though.

    Up to 89 movies viewed in 2015. Only 11 to go to hit the century mark. :)

    I wonder if I should spoil it by watching a movie from the 2000's. Managed to avoid that century so far this year (A shameful mere 6 movies from the decade of the 1930's, 37 from the 1940's, 19 from the 1950's, 12 from the 1960's, 7 from the 1970's, 4 from the 1980's, and another 4 from the 1990's).

    For some reason I've been obsessed with this song, Thunder — She's So Fine,

    It's from 1990 and could easily have been in heavy rotation on MTV along with other hair metal/hard rock bands, but for some reason it (and they) were never popular in the US, only the UK (where they are from), Europe and Japan

    When I was a lad, my parents would enroll me in summer school for 2-3 hours a day. One summer, it was a gym class. The teacher loved the Beach Boys. So all summer, for 2 hours a day, we'd play dodgeball while listening to the Beach Boys. Every single day, the Beach Boys. For I guess 2 months, 5 days a week, 2 hours of the Beach Boys.

    I beat all four Birth By Sleep Final Mix super bosses. The last battle I did, against No Heart, was a really fun and difficult fight. Wanna know why it's so cool?
    The music. Forze dell'Oscurità (Italian for "Forces of the Darkness"), which is a remix of one of the final boss themes of the first Kingdom Hearts, Forze del Male (Forces of Evil), and of KHII's Darkness of the Unknown, hence the name.
    Dark Impetus is still slightly better.

    Riviera Life, by Caro Emerald ft. Giuliano Palma
    Loved this song back in 2010.

    If you don't want a random Italian dude interrupting her soothing voice with his unintelligible language, here's her solo live version.

    If you want more unintelligible words, here's
    Io mammeta e tu, by Gigi D'Alessio.
    It's not really the first Italian song I wanted to share, as it's not exactly a singer I like, at all, but the background smooth jazz (???) is so enjoyable. Focus on that instead. It's not that hard, because of the low quality of the video and the low volume of their voices.

    It's probably nostalgia, but lately I've been looking up soundtracks (not the score, but the songs used in it) from the 1980s.. The Wraith, starring Charlie Sheen

    Bonnie Tyler — Matter of the Heart Not as good as her more famous ones, but not bad, either.

    Honeymoon Suite -— Those Were the Days I think I mentioned that the cloest thing I had in high school to a girl friend was a fan of them. At the time, I rolled my eyes. But this is a pretty good song.

    Lion — Never Surrender This is like as generic an 80s movie rock song as it gets, but it's catchy

    Time Feehan — Where's the Fire Apparently he's a Canadian Kenny Loggins. Seriously, even his first band was called Footloose (although it predated that movie)

    LaMarca — Hold on Blue Eyes Sounds sorta like a John Waite song.

    Lion — Power Love Nintendo should have used this song to market their Power Glove

  • Let's see if this works: "Kiseki no Umi," arranged for and played on piano by me (WMA file). "Kiseki no Umi" ("Sea of Miracles") is the opening title theme from The Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, a 1998 swords & sorcery anime TV series. Composed by Yoko Kanno, originally sung by Maaya Sakamoto; recorded via plain old Sound Recorder on my PC.

    Hmm. The link works from one of my browsers, but not another one. Working or not working for other people?

    Nope, doesn't work. I don't think most browsers support wma. Maybe upload it to youtube? Make a video out of it using the movie thingie that comes with windows.

  • Actually, I wasn't talking about browser compatibility with the file, but rather with my Web host denying access to the file because it's a direct link. Anyway, I put up an HTML file that links to it now, so my browser that was giving me the fake "file not found" error now opens the file. And my browser that had no problem with the file before, it had no internal WMA support and just asked me if I wanted to open Windows Media Player.

    I have no YouTube account, incidentally. And I'm a bit surprised you're impressed. Maybe wait until you can actually hear the recording. :P

  • Here is a YouTube clip of Record of Lodoss War TV's opening title sequence (which is basically what my "Kiseki no Umi" rendition is supposed to sound like).

    I re-recorded "Kiseki no Umi," adding some more of the decorative phrases parallel to the main melody. In some cases, it was a bit hard for me to execute the fake third hand, so I had to make about 10 attempts at the recording before I got a relatively clean run.

    I also recorded a piano arrangement/performance by me of "Moon," from Turn A Gundam, also by Yoko Kanno. I kind of botched the last half of the arrangement, with tempo control problems and some unclean passages. And, the ending is just thrown together based on the ending of the live performance by Origa and the Tokyo Philharmonic--it doesn't really sound good as a piano solo. But, well, I have other things I need to do right now.

    Both the new "Kiseki no Umi" recording and the "Moon" recording are on that Sounds Page at my website now. Enjoy, or not.

    Ever heard of them, Jeremy?

    I'm a fan of The King Family thanks to The King Cousins (One of which was on the cast of My Three Sons). They were a large family that was musically inclined that had their own tv show and did a lot of holiday tv specials that were a staple during Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving for quite a few years after they left the air.

    Sadly they've kind of fallen into obscurity a bit in recent years.

    I don't think so. I was more of a Soul Train/Solid Gold sort of person, and I'm guessing they never appeared on there.

    My grandmother did watch Lawrence Welk and I seem to remember a Cissy King from that, but I guess she's not related.

    I don't remember a Cissy, so I don't think so.

    I'm surprised that PBS still shows The Lawrence Welk Show. That was a old person show even when it was new in the early 1950's at the start of its 30+ year run (Unlike The King Family Show in the mid to late 1960's that had a lot of teen viewers).

    The only Cissy on tv that I remember is the oldest sibling on Family Affair. I don't think I've ever met one in real-life.

    It happens a lot here. If a song is popular, you will find it on the radio every hour or so, on any radio station.
    It happened with Uptown Funk, Gangam Style, Summer Paradise, I Love It and so many South American songs like Danza Kuduro, Ai Se Eu Te Pego, Bailando (though he's Spanish, shh)...

    The Futurama episode which closes with "Don't You Forget About Me" is my favorite of that show. The song is from a memory of when Fry last interacted with his brother, and they were going to use The Breakfast Club's soundtrack for, uh, something. A surprisingly warm and touching episode at the end. I'd never have thought Futurama could make tears well up, but it did.

    POSTED 2 YEARS AGO #
     

    At the end of August, the soundtrack for Thunderbolt Fantasy was released, both for download and on CD. My favorite track is "蔑、guy," the villain's theme (the title of the track is a word play on his name in Japanese, "Betsu Ten Gai"). The best part of it is right here, where the strings, winds, French horns, and chorus combine with war drums to declare, "Abandon all hope, and despair, for I am here to crush all you hold dear!" Be sure you have your volume and bass turned up if you listen to it! And try not to despair too much.

    The show's main intra-episode theme (i.e., not the opening title) is given a clearer vocal rendition in "Darkest," and surprisingly, it's in English (these are the lyrics). I couldn't tell from the standard version of the theme, except maybe for the "shadow of eagles across the moon" bit--but I couldn't be sure I wasn't just imagining hearing English.

    Heh, beginner French horn players are probably often intimidated by it. It's supposedly one of the more difficult instruments to learn.

    And foxes likely used to be afraid of it. If I remember right, it was invented as a horn used for hunting parties.

    But, the people most afraid of a French horn are those who live in the same household as a really bad French horn player.

    Last Surprise, Persona 5's battle theme.
    It's... Eh. I'm not saying it's terrible, I'm saying that Shoji Meguro has done much better. Just looks at every other Persona game, or Nocturne, or Digital Devil Saga, or Devil Summoner.
    It'll most certainly grow on me, like P4G's Time to Make History did, but still, I'm relatively disappointed. Still better than most RPGs out there, mind you.

    this is my favorite song that references Star Trek

     

    I don't know anything about The Refreshments other than King of the Hill, but their name reminded me of The Rembrandts and the fact that every time I try to remember who made the theme to Friends, I come up with "Rugrats" before "Rembrandts."

    Here's something weird related to music. At this part of Episode 17 of Ghost Sweeper Mikami, for some reason, an obvious homage to/parody of Andrew Courage's Star Trek theme plays as the background music. Maybe it's supposed to refer to the "otherworldly" nature of the idea that a girl could possibly be interested in Yokoshima. At any rate, that piece of music does not appear in either of the two Mikami soundtrack albums I found on YouTube. Perhaps this is its sole use in the series.

     

    It's been a long time since my band days (though not long enough), but don't French horn players stick their hand in the bell when playing? Seems like that would be difficult to do while riding a horse chasing a fox.

     

    Anyone trying to play a French horn while riding a horse would probably not only break their front teeth but also get laughed at by the fox.

    I feel sorry for The Rembrandts (kind of), they actually had a fairly big hit before they did that theme, yet they probably will only be remembered for that theme.

    One gimmicky song about baseball that only gets played on sports channels and ballparks.

    I mean, it's something, I guess, but not like CCR that had not one, but two greatest hits albums, of 20 songs each..

    I don't really disagree, but I do like Centerfield and it seemed to get a lot of air time when I was younger and still pops up from time to time on local radio stations when they're doing 80's music.

    So I imagine it qualifies as a hit after his glory days as the lead singer for CCR ended. Better than what usually happens when someone thinks they're being held back by the very thing that made them popular in the first place.

    You usually never hear from them again when they strike off on their own, like when the actor that played Colonel Blake decided to leave M*A*S*H, thinking that he had star potential. Except for the occasional episode of Match Game, he basically disappeared...

    Any idea of who the King Family are, Jeremy? Finally opened up my two DVD collections of some of their tv specials and have been enjoying them.

    Their holiday specials were still getting reran when I was little.

    After I posted that, I started thinking that I had asked that before.

    Anyone ever watch The Kidsongs television show back in the 80's? I remember enjoying it, but don't remember many details about it anymore. Mostly just remember the intro now with an abandoned tv station and transmitter, with the kids somehow taking over the place and reactivating it.

    I figured you were a bit out of the age group. Being born in 1982, I was probably exactly the age they were aiming it at back around 1987.

    You're too old to probably have watched this, but I remember something else that I'd love to know what show it was. I think it was a guy playing kids music on a guitar and I think it was a show aired on Canadian television like Mr. Dressup. The introduction has him going through a forest and going through something like a big tree log where there's a clearing. And i think he did at least one tv special along with his tv series, since I remember being excited to see it.

    I wonder what it was.

    That saddens me.
    No matter how good what you're listening to is, if it's video game music, you're a weirdo.
    Considering most people got exposed to nothing but yesteryear's beeps and boops and/or these days' orchestral noise - which is what most Western soundtracks amount to, sadly - they're right, in their own way.
    I don't care, anyway. Listening to Zuntata, or Ishiwatari or Meguro, or Okabe, or whoever scored SMTIV, relaxes me.

    I meant that I couldn't be sure whether you had mentioned her before because I couldn't fully recognize whether I'd seen her name before. For example, maybe it was Connie Stevens whom I vaguely remember you mentioning.

    And from his previous band (well, one of them) is a song that never really registered on me in the 80s, but I like a lot now - ]Yazoo - Situation (which it won't let me post a link to)

    I always want to think the chorus is "Moo cow"

    RIP John Wetton, most famously of ASIA but also King Crimson once Greg Lake (who died a few months ago) left.

    My favorite song of theirs was also their last, a new single from their Greatest Hits album that wasn't much of a hit, but got played a lot on Orlando's rock station WJRR back in the day
    Days Like These

    Which it won't let me link to. But it's a good song.

    I have so much stuff to post here, yet I never find the time to do it. Or forget about it.
    Let's resume my posting with... Duran Duran! Of course. Everyone missed me linking to Duran Duran's songs.
    So, Paper Gods has been their latest album. I've been listening to it since... Let me check... February 14th, 2016. Took me quite a while.
    So, it's clearly not as good as Greatest Hits - but of course it isn't, it is called Greatest Hits - but it's ok, I guess.

    Paper Gods is really good. Are the lyrics pretentious? Maybe. But I like it.
    Then there's the cringy You kill me with silence, which is very cringy and not much else. IMO.
    Pressure off, I really really hate because a mobile operator used it for its commercials for half a year. Got really annoying.
    Danceophobia and Last night in the city are decent enough, too.
    They don't feel like Duran Duran songs at all, though. And that's sad.

    While I've been listening a lot to NewRetroWave (basically 80s sounding synth stuff0, apparently there is a rock band dedicated to making 80s style hard rock. I heard them in the trailer to the upcoming Friday the 13th Game (which I won't link 'because it's really violent)

    But it's not bad. I won't say it's good, 'because it's not. But it's not terrible.

    Sunshine Reggae, by Laid Back.

    There's this 1983 Italian comedy, a movie we watched so many times I got sick of it - mostly thanks to my sister who, when she was a little child wanted to play it again and again and again despite it being almost exclusively about sex and sex jokes - that has a freaking amazing soundtrack. The best songs lf the early 80s, you can find them there.

    Sad to hear about Chuck Berry.

    Wondered if Sam Cooke was still alive after hearing about Chuck Berry's passing, and discovered he was shot to death in mysterious circumstances back in the mid 1960's. Never heard about that.

    Too bad, since I seem to love every song he ever recorded.

    I've never seen the Flash Gordon movie, so I never recognized its incidental music's use in Vanguard. I also never realized that the opening title theme of The Big O was a direct homage to Queen's theme for that movie: https://youtu.be/XA7Xl5CtHRM And this YouTube video is the first time I'd ever heard the full version of the show's theme song. I have the soundtrack of the first season on CD, but that only contains the TV-size version of the theme song. Incidentally, this is the song that won't be on the upcoming US Blu-ray release.

    One other longtime favorite from The Big O's soundtrack is "Run Down," the brief but highly technical piano piece played by the android R. Dorothy to provoke Roger awake: https://youtu.be/eCpm2JL9OgI .

    Of course, something else that can wake someone up is the Big O's giant robot battles, accompanied by bombastic set piece music like "Stand a Chance" https://youtu.be/52BcC9Qzl-Q and "Sure Promise" https://youtu.be/7OlcJzin3LE Then there are the pieces that I've always thought sounded straight out of a 70s cop show, like "Freedom" https://youtu.be/A2wGumgVOG8 and "A Vision" https://youtu.be/hGkXtGXR43Y .

    Holy crap, Amazon.co.jp Marketplace sellers want 8700 yen and up for used copies of this CD.

    It actually sounds like a mash-up of several Queen songs. Part of Bohemian Rhapsody and what sounds like Don't Stop Me Now

    But seriously, how could you not have seen Flash Gordon? I saw that like 6 times in the theater as a kid and had to import the DVD from Brazil, because at the time it wasn't released in the US

    And this is after importing the soundtrack cd from England, because for some reason Queen didn't have a US distributor for cds until the early 90s

    I don't think I ever even heard of Flash Gordon until at least ten years after the movie was released.

    That's odd. While it was a flop at the box office because people couldn't understand its genius, it was pretty high profile.

    I think it was more popular overseas. The one actress is from Brazil and that Topol guy is a big European star (or was). And Brian Blessed is the most English actor ever to er, act.

    There's this Super Mario World hack called Call of Cthulhu. It's an insanely original and ingenious hack which everyone should play.
    Anyway, its soundtrack is mostly composed of other SNES and NES games' music (and Cave Story's), remixed with the SMW soundfont. There was this one track that really, really creeped me out, yet it fascinated me.
    Today I randomly found where it came from: an action RPG called Terranigma, and the theme is called "Underworld" (https://youtu.be/9NFmgQqLmSo).
    Do YOU like that one more, or the remixed version (https://youtu.be/3usw3wXhacs)? The latter's much creepier, IMO.

    Yes, I was forces to link them like that for the post to be sent.

We're beyond that date now, and I recently found that there are two samples of the soundtrack available at Soundcloud:

    https://soundcloud.com/success-corp-audio-unit/psyredemo - from Reassemble

    https://soundcloud.com/success-corp-audio-unit/psymu - from the Medium Unit version of the original game

    A while ago Outkast's Big Boi released a song that sampled Hatsune Miku called Kill Jill. I kept forgetting to post about it. He released a video for it a few days ago. I don't much care for the song or the video. But I guess Hatsune Miku is about as global as you can get now.

    The Evil Within 2's CG trailer has a pretty decent cover of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World".
    Personally I dislike the second chorus - I hate how they changed some of the notes - but all in all, it's cool. Especially the verse in the middle.

    For some reason, that song reminded me more of Duran Duran's Save a Prayer than Ordinary World. And I have it stuck in my head.

    I didn't think I'd post a random Italian song I heard on the radio a few weeks ago, but...
    (https://youtu.be/JkfJ7-GS9yk) Completamente, by TheGiornalisti.
    Mainstream synthwave in 2016? Woah.

    (https://youtu.be/SZmMD84XpCs) You're Not Here, sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.
    I like this song. But it has the same exact problems as almost every other song Akira Yamaoka has composed: not enough vocals. Halfway through it, she just... Stops singing, outside of some "ooooh" and "uh" and repeats of some short sentences from the chorus.

    Apparently there is not one, but two extra verses to Procul Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale. So like only half the song made it into the album versions

    I had thought the song was about the Canterbury Tales, but apparently it's about a ship?

    She was gorgeous. Her sisters, though, woof woof. They couldn't sing either. It's funny how some families one person gets all the talent, while in others, it's more evenly distributed.

    Say what you want about the other Jacksons, but at least Tito could sing.

    The tall one, especially. Her name was Sherrill and she also seems to have been on the mean side, judging by this interview from the early 1990's.

    http://www.spectropop.com/ParisSisters/index.htm

    Priscilla was worried about giving her baby a good life, and this sister was just worried about how it would affect her and the group, and seemed to still be giving her a hard time about it all a quarter century after the fact.

    The short one, Albeth, is kind of cute in a more modest way, I think. She also seems to have been perhaps the most level headed one of the bunch, not getting into all the sibling arguments or holding it all against her mother that all this was sort of forced upon them.

    They don't seem to have had real childhoods or much of a say in it all, because their mother wanted to continue her show business career through her children.

    My father didn't have any life insurance (or money, for that matter), so I set up a GoFundMe account for his burial expenses. But damn, I feel terrible, begging my father's friends passive aggressively. And I will feel worse if no one donates. I mean, worse case scenario, he sits on a shelf (he's being cremated), but you have all these people saying how much he meant to him, only to have that disappear when he actually needs financial help.

    Yeah. He really changed the whole sound of music for the better.

    But honestly, you never, ever, want to read a biography of a band. They've all done awful things. Something about having lots of money and people willing to do anything you want (not out of money but adoration) can really bring out the worst in people.

    Good version of It's My Party, sadder sounding than the famous Lesley Gore version that I love.

    And I went to a Beach Boys concert last night at the New York State Fair.

    This is like the first rock song I've liked in 20 years

    Pretty clearly they are trying to sound like early Zeppelin and they sorta succeed. The singer is dead on, the guitar and drummer and okay, nothing notable bass wise.

    TrackID, the app I use to find out about song names, finally closed. When I opened it, it suggested me to download Spotify. It's basically TrackID, but much better.

    Feels, by Calvin Harris ft. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, Big Sean
    Took me a few months to finally be able to use the app above.
    I love how "bouncy" it is. I like bouncy music.

    Morenito, by Stéphane Pompougnac ft. Clémentine
    I was listening to this while chilling in Gran Turismo Sport's beta/demo's main menu (more about the game later). Fell in love with it instantly. Even though I still don't understand anything they're saying.
    There's also another GTS song I want to post here, but first I'll have to actually come across it again. They're random, after all.

    And get rid of my TrackID "backlog" before deleting it.

    There's also another GTS song I want to post here, but first I'll have to actually come across it again.

    I had to go through the entire tracklist to find it, but here it is.
    Soul Surfer, by Daiki Kasho
    It was a GT4 song, weirdly enough. I swear I heard it before.

     

    Here's two more.
    Forbidden Fruit, by Lenny Ibizarre
    All About the Girl, by Lenny Ibizarre
    The former's a quiet ambient track, the latter's more of a jazzy lounge song, both are great.

     

    And get rid of my TrackID "backlog" before deleting it.

    There was a "History" section here. It's gone now.
    All I can do is delete the app and lose however many songs I wanted to post, sadly.

     

    Here's this one, I guess.
    Do that to me one more time, by Captain & Tennille
    Great sex music.
    But I wouldn't know.
    I do know that it retroactively reminded me of
    Locked Away, by R. City ft. Adam Levine
    Apparently it was intentional. I mean...

    A month later, I still am impressed by Greta Van Fleet. It's the first rock album I've bought in 20s, though it's only EP.

    Somewhat maddeningly, because they have more than 4 good songs.

    Lover Leave Taker Believer is my favorite and better than the stuff on the EP (and I love those)

    Mountain of the Sun features a slide guitar. When was the last time you heard that? Jeff Healy, I guess.

    Edge of Darkness is solid, though not great

    And their encore is a bunch of blues sounding songs that sound great live but probably won't translate to the studio.

    For some reason Walmart's radio plays Car Wash. Not that I'm complaining because I love the song, but it seems like an odd choice given the lyrics

    Which is true, but perhaps too close to home.

    Darn, that's the only one she did from that era. Was on a record featuring 15 Christmas songs sung by various Warner Brothers television stars of the early 1960's.

    She and her two daughters recorded a Christmas album in the early 90's, but it has a more modern sound to it that I don't like as much.

    That's strange, Christmas albums were big in the 1960s. Even the Ventures did one.

    You ever listen to Jo Stafford? She had a big Christmas album then. She might be too jazzy for you though.

    Ugh, apparently Billy Idol did a Christmas album about 10 years ago.

    Another Connie Stevens favorite of mine.

    I don't like her hairdo though. Makes her look like Jennifer on WKRP in Cincinnati.

    Amazing how bad music is these days. I don't think I've even liked a new song I've heard since 2000 or so, and that was a real rarity even at that point. I don't anticipate ever liking another new one in my life at this point.

    Finished Jo Stafford's Christmas album just now. Some sound familiar (Especially O Little Town of Bethlehem), but I can't swear to it. But I imagine the odds are good that somewhere or another, I've heard several of these.

    There was really too much good music in the 1980s, I missed out on so much. For instance, almost the entire New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

    Most of the bands had silly names, like this one, Wykked Vikkar, but the song is awesome

    I remember these boxsets from Germany a few years ago that were complete music cd collections for each featured artists. If there's ever a Connie Francis version of one of these, I want it.

    For some reason, Walmart decided that it was a good thing to show a commercials on their display TV that plays the chorus to "Ring My Bell" probably about 150 times an hour.

    It's supposed to be an ad for their online store, but the song is clearly about sex.

    This snuck under the radar back in the day thanks to some Englishmen badly in need of haircuts that somehow hypnotized much of the world into thinking they sounded good, but I recently discovered it and have been listening to it frequently. Good song. :)

    Jack Snow used to play for the Rams when they were in LA and was a broadcaster for them here in St. Louis, and he would tell a story about him watching the Tonight Show and seeing her on it and her mentioning she had a big crush on a Rams player...him. He freaked out, because she was not an attractive woman, however well she could sing.

    I always liked Uptown Girl. Had an 80's sound to it, but also a bit of a 60's sound to it at the same time.

    My mom has mentioned the music video for this a few times through the years. Nice to finally see it for myself (Although I'm sure I did back then on tv thanks to my mom being a fan of this song, I'd of been busying myself playing with toys instead).

    Sticking to this theme, here's the music video for Cher's 'If I Could Turn Back Time', set aboard the battleship USS Missouri just a few months before she went to war for the third and final time in Operation Desert Storm.

    Navy brass wasn't pleased with her outfit, but the sailors seem to be enjoying themselves. :)

    And something completely different, something that sounds like it could have come out of the 60s. Or be in the Blues Brothers....the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhicDUgXyNg

    Honestly, the organ is one of those things I miss the most in modern music.

    Hey Atariboy, are you a fan of Billy Fury? He was a 50s era singer that kept releasing 50s era songs up until the 1980s (when he died).
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_QW6XLBO88

    Apparently he had as many hits in the UK as your not so favorite quartet.

    I love Wouldn't it be Nice.

    I've never heard of Billy Fury, but I bet I've heard several of his songs. Who else did 'Forget Him', since I sure know this song but i don't think it's this particular version?

    Odd, I thought I had a link to start that song at the beginning that I posted yesterday. Good view at least a second or two afterwards. :)

    This is an 80s song I missed, I guess because it was only a hit in the UK, from a former member of Thin Lizzy and a guest musician for Pink Floyd. Sounds like the latter crossed with Mark Knopfler.

    Didn't realize this song was as new as this. Written the year before and this was its first performance on television.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuE_DXrt2Js&start_radio=1&list=RDXuE_DXrt2Js

    I'm quite confident that nobody has ever matched his performance here when performing this song.

    Speaking of The Sonics (in the other thread), I really don't know why they weren't bigger.

    The Witch in particular is one of those songs that is almost completely unique

    This is probably the best song inspired by an 80s movie written by a Monkee (the movie, that is)

    Always loved this.

    In fact I kept a black & white episode of Disneyland (Later the Wonderful World of Color, then the Wonderful World of Disney, and then perhaps another name I've forgotten) I recorded off TCM on my DVR for about three years, just to play the opening theme that used several seconds of this song.

    Sad how far Disney has fallen. Hopefully if things go right in a few years when my time down here has concluded, I'll have access to the entire Disney archive of that era in pristine quality, since it sure isn't happening in this lifetime.

    And if I go the other way, I'll probably get to suffer through rap music and all the other things I can't stand to hear or watch, and 21st century Disney productions for all of eternity.

    Been going through mp3's to clean and organize files that have built up the past few years, and came across one just called "I". I imagine I ripped it off a YouTube video and the title didn't catch.

    It's a good song, but not a well known one. I've tried typing in the lyrics and nothing useful pops up. I wonder how the heck I can identify this?

    One of the thing about watching older videos, is that people were so much better dressed back then. And skinnier. And not covered in tattoos.

    Also, women tended to wear tighter tops. In a good way, not the sort today that makes them look pregnant. (That's a game I have at work, "Pregnant or fat?")

Well I thought it was funny.

 

What's not funny is that too many record companies ignore their back catalogs, until they suddenly get popular because they appear on some TV show. Case in point, the Neverending Story.  Took it being on Stranger Things for them to post the official video (as opposed to some random guy who posted it in VHS quality)
