Esme Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Damn, I completely forgot to post a song yesterday. Sorry 'bout that. As a token of apology, you guys get two songs to enjoy today: [spoiler=Goldmund - The Sonora Pine] These guys disbanded a while ago, but the two (iirc) albums/EPs they did release are pretty great. A lot of their songs are this chill kinda rock with violins and somewhat drowned-out vocals, but they do have one song that's more ambient than the rest. I believe it's called "The Owl's Nest". It's got chimes and wind and it's really atmospheric. [spoiler=Banana Shake - Humming Urban Stereo] I love this artist! Dunno if this counts as k-pop or whatever, but all his stuff is awesome. Definitely the kind of music you'd play if you wanna dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Good stuff, good stuff. I checked out The Owl's Nest after listening to the first two and really liked it; I'm a sucker for more ambient music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esme Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Good stuff, good stuff. I checked out The Owl's Nest after listening to the first two and really liked it; I'm a sucker for more ambient music. Me, too. I'll probably post an ambient song tomorrow.

Esme Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I am forcibly taking over this thread because noted user Esme is an idiot and can't be trusted Parrhesia is now the Vicar My bad! I forgot about this thread. What a shameful Vicar I turned out to be. Hopefully my last two songs will make up for it: [spoiler=What Are We Waiting For? - Amiina] [spoiler=Time, as a Symptom - Joanna Newsom] I hereby declare Parrhesia to be the next Vicar of Music. He has procured five votes in total-- more than anyone else --thereby I deem him fit for the position.

Parrhesia Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 HELLOmy Vicarage is set to be furious and powerfulI will take you through a shitton of my aesthetic during thisfuckingprepare Look; I just really like this song, okay? I really like Kanye West and my aesthetic is when people think every Kanye West song is literally a song about Kanye West, because people don't fucking listen to lyrics. This is a great song. At least for now, it's my favourite of West's. Ironically enough, it's the only one that the music video of has an epilepsy warning attached...

Knight Falchion Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I looked up the video out of curiosity, and they certainly delivered with the lights That aside, I like it. It's also the first song in the thread I've heard before but it bears listening to multiple times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The greatest of Christmas songs, a heartwarming tale of Irish-American love. My current probably first love is folk, and particularly Celtic strains of it were my first real experience with the genre (such as it is) before I expanded my horizons (which, in TYOOL 2010, were pretty narrow). Also my vote for the next Vicar remains fuccboi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Look. Sometimes you just need a song that makes you happy. This, for me, is that song, and it makes me think of Englishmen crying while Germans beat them in penalty shootouts. How can you not love that?

Parrhesia Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Good afternoon, thread. Today, I'm going to cheat.and also the dubliners !! Whiskey in the Jar is an Irish folk song concerning the capture of a thief. Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, a good bad in general, made what I feel is my best song when they covered it. Right now, I'm feeling happy just listening to it, since I'm also in the kind of mood where I want to set the government on fire. Yet again, this concerns earlier music tastes, and this song is reassuring reminder that, hell, at least something I liked in 2008 is still good. But... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoiF7Qket_k I think the more traditional rendition covered by a folk band, the Dubliners, is also worth a listen. Maybe not right after the other, I dunno. Pick one and come back to the other a day later. For what it's worth, the lyrics (the chorus is in Gaelic) are significantly clearer in this version. To people who play ROM hacks, Do5's Captain Farrell was directly named for this song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 "ciaran too many of your songs are about football"FUCK YOU A celebration of one of the world's greatest ever footballers who ended his career by nutting someone. Brilliant. I'm counting this as different to World in Motion because it's more about the sport itself than just singing happy things while happening to have (tearful failures of) English internationals behind them. This is also precisely half the songs I know where a full extended version exists easily on Youtube and it's vastly inferior. (The other is The New Workout Plan. What the fuck even is the full uncut music video to that?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Can't relate to the football aspects of the football anthems, but they're still fun songs and I really like the video on the second one, lol. As for the two different renditions of Whiskey in the Jar, I preferred the more traditional version- I'm a sucker for familiar things and Irish folk music happens to be one of those for me.

Parrhesia Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Look, vapourwave isn't normally my aesthetic, but if I have to do some really boring and mundane activity while being hyped by background noises, well, it's good at that. I'd do a fucking exam to this given the chance. And, hell, sometimes I'm just in the mood for it. Some music fits some days.Tomorrow's the finale, and we're going back to basics. Stay tuned, and all.

Parrhesia Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 And thus it ends; not with a whimper, but with Mermaid Avenue was a compilation of songs written by Woody Guthrie - there were dozens of them found after his death, with lyrics and tempo but no music. So one of his descendants commissioned Billy Bragg, a working-class UK folk singer, and Wilco, some Canadians, to set these songs to music and release them. These albums - three volumes were released - are probably the most important albums to me personally. And this is maybe my favourite song in the world.And, with that, I'm pretty sure the torch passes to fuccboi because I don't think anyone else got more than one vote.

Esme Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yup. Dijon Mustard got one, but Fuccboi got two. Or three. I don't remember. Either way, it is his turn to be THE VICAR OF MUSIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
