500 Miles - The Proclaimers

Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti
jalakani pohjii kutkutti.
Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti
vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti,
sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa
kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä
ko immeiset onnee toevotti.
Peä oli märkänä jokaisella
ja viulu se vinku ja voevotti.
Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput.

Ievan äiti se kammarissa
virsiä veisata huijjuutti,
kun tämä poika naapurissa
ämmän tyttöä nuijjuutti.
Eikä tätä poikoo ämmät haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili.

Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen
sain minä kerran sytkyyttee.
Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj
ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyytteek.
Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa
laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa.
Salivili.

Muorille sanon jotta tukkee suusi
en ruppee sun terveyttäs takkoomaa.
Terveenä peäset ku korjoot luusi
ja määt siitä murjuus makkoomaa.
Ei tätä poikoo hellyys haittaa
ko akkoja huhkii laiasta laitaan.
Salivili.
Sen minä sanon jotta purra pittää
ei mua niin voan nielasta.
Suat männä ite vaikka lännestä ittään
vaan minä en luovu Ievasta,
sillä ei tätä poikoo kainous haittaa
sillon ko tanssii laiasta laitaan.

And I'm lookin' towards the sky

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
Gods recreation of the new day

It's Sunday morning oldies. Time to dust off the classics. I see we already had Cat Stevens. I love it.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

I will pray for you
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true, someone like you

You never said you love me
And I don't believe you can
'Cause I saw you in a dream
And you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual
And I tried to look the same
But now I've got to love ya
Tell me who am I to blame?
I was born without you, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Now the whole wide world is movin'
'Cause there's iron in my heart
I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love I've never known
I was born without you, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Just a little bit too strong

Free the dream within
The stars are crying a tear
A sigh escapes from heaven
And the world's end

Breathe the dream within
The mystifying
We tremble and spin
Suspended within

Look beyond where hearts can see
Dream in peace
Trust, love, believe

We tremble and spin
Suspended within

Free the dream within
The voices calling, a song
A prayer from deep inside you
To guide you

Be the dream within
The light is shining
A flame on the wind
Salvation begins

Look beyond where hearts can see
Dream in peace
Trust, love, believe

We tremble and spin
Suspended within

Free the dream within
The stars are crying a tear
A sigh escapes from heaven
And the world's end

Ok, so Dave Mustaine is no lah-dee-dah lyrics writer, but this is a pretty fun song to sing along to.

I should be calling collect from jail
For the things I commit each night in my head
Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you
But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed
No one is safe, when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
I get to force your untimely disappearance
Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep
I close my eyes and you just vanish soon as I
Lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world

You light the skies, up above me
A star, so bright, you blind me, yeah
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t fade away, don’t fade away

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl
We can rule the world
Yeah you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world

Countdown and Anger don't correspond with the same point in time/artistic direction for the bands, so I don't think that's a fair comparison (fair would be "Fuel" vs. "Train Of Consequences"). The Megadeth equivalent of St. Anger depends on how you look at it, but for the sake of argument, let's say it's 1999's Risk. Unfortunately, I don't own Risk, I have a greatest hits collection, but it features "Prince Of Darkness", which is a nice tune off of Risk.

>>945406
Ok, point taken. I should have have compared 'Countdown to Extinction" to Metallica's "Black Album". The albums were released about a year apart, and they had similar qualities. Both albums were more mainstream, radio-friendly, commercially successful, and took different directions from the bands' previous offerings. Depending who you talk to, both albums also have the distinction of being labelled as 'sellout' albums. Personally, I didn't much care for what either band put out afterwards. Yes, bands do have to change in order to stay creative (and marketable), but Metallica disappointed me more. I guess that's why I took another shot at St Anger (I still haven't let that album go yet).

Strangely enough, I don't own 'Risk' either.

>>945438
>blah, Countdown, blah, Black Album, blah blah, sellout, blah blah, mainstream appeal, blah blah
That there's a dead horse, no need to beat it. If you don't like their subsequent work, why not? "King Nothing" is a good song off Load. I say "Fuel" is right up there with the best Metallica songs. You said you were never a 'deth fan, what do you think they do wrong?

as for me, I'm listening to Ride Of The Valkyries by Richard Wagner.

>>945558
Holy Wars is epic, HA! Particularly this demo I just got my hands on since I downloaded the Megadeth War Chest.

>>945664

>>945466
Whoa, apparently I stepped on a nerve. Dedate is good, so let's try to discuss this without it turning into a "Metallica sucks, does not" argument. I also don't want to beat the "sellout" argument either. I only mentioned it for comparison sake.

Here goes. After their "Black Album" Metallica went in a musical direction that I didn't care to follow. They experimented with more melodic lines, different rhythms, and a little more blues. "Fuel" is a great tune, but one tune does not an album make. "Reload" sounded empty.

I miss the overdubbed crunch and driving pulse of Metallica's guitars. I miss the magic Lars used to do behind his kit and I miss the wild guitar work of Kirk Hammett. He doesn't even solo on St Anger. The days of "And Justice.." are over and I have to accept it.

As for Megadeth and not being a fan, I don't think they did anything wrong. I just didn't like them as much, maybe it was Mustaine's voice.

but the two megadeth cd's from the same time were more jazz metal hybrids that were milles away better then st anger and whatever that cd was called that metallica released last year.oh it's whatever the one's that had area 51 and . . . the punishment due

Can we all agree then that St Anger was a steaming pile of crap? I think it's unfair to compare anything to this waste of album.

You're not a ship to carry my life
You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights
I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here
For I need your love your love protects my fears

And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

Metallica started out teeth and nails thrash metal and over time gradually, at times suddenly, mellowed out with each subsequent album up to Reload. You didn't step on a nerve, I just think that statement's been made a billion times before, and I should have put it as you didn't have to remind me what I'm well aware of, my bad.

>but the two megadeth cd's from the same time were more jazz metal hybrids that were milles away better then st anger and whatever that cd was called that metallica released last year.oh it's whatever the one's that had area 51 and . . . the punishment due
"Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" were off of Rust In Piece, which came out in 1990, two years after ...And Justice For All.
I think you're referring to The System Has Failed (2004) and United Abominations (2007). The Metallica album from last year is Death Magnetic, and all three of these albums sort of subscribe to the "f'it'd ain't broke, don't fix it" theory. I don't mind any one of them, but I think the music video for "The Day That Never Dies" is the lamest excuse for pseudo-political commentary I've ever seen. To be fair, Dave Mustaine rants and raves all over that last Megadeth album and says at least a few (if not a whole bunch of) wildly contradictory statements.

And I know it's on your mind

Discussion time: How does /c/ feel about soundtracks whether they're from anime or Hollywood? Personally, I love the works of both John Williams and Yoko Kanno. Unfortunately, I have friends in the Classical/Jazz community that look down at soundtrack composers. Apparently they lack the 'sophistication' of 'real' composers. Any opinions?

>>948437
Ennio Morricone. Enough said.

>>948437
Soundtracks have a different goal from standard classical and jazz music which are both meant to stand alone. They overlap in a number of areas, admittedly, but a soundtrack is generally expected to enhance a preexisting work (the film/show) while not drawing attention away from said work (i.e. stealing the show). This is not a steadfast rule and there are plenty of excellent exceptions. Also, many consider a good soundtrack to be something that accomplishes the previous criteria while also being able to stand on its own (again, debatable as there are many shades of gray here).

Another issue in the past 5+ years is that shows and movies are able to be pumped out faster than ever thanks to technological advances in digital processing and while this is awesome for most of the production and post-production crew, it is the BANE of soundtrack composers as many now find that they are expected to improve their efficiency in a similar manner. In other words, musical creativity is inadvertently being compromised by these trends so composers ultimately have less and less time to write soundtracks at their own pace.

Anyway, there's a lot more to the issue than just what I've typed. I think one of the main points you should take away is that soundtrack music is generally not meant to detract from the film/show which means that you're less likely to find complex pieces on the level of Bach or Beethoven being used as it would require the music to take a stronger presence to be noticed (again, plenty of exceptions). Generally, soundtracks that constantly overpower a film/show and spoon-feed emotions to viewers are looked down upon as being ham-fisted.

>>948457
Quite right. I also rather like Bernard Herrmann.

It's also a hellava lot easier for metric tons of crappy soundtracks to be aired or published which waters down the whole industry. Not so easy for modern-day classical music to get that far without making it past a few quality checks.

Maybe not so much with jazz as all you need are a few guys with instruments. Not to piss on jazz, just saying there's a lot of crap to sift through.

>>948437
>>a soundtrack is generally expected to enhance a preexisting work (the film/show) while not drawing attention away from said work
Well said. There is nothing worse than an 'overpowering' soundtrack or a soundtrack that just doesn't fit the 'mood' of the scenes it is supposed to enhance. I've seen many a movie where the background music has been more of an annoyance spoiling a good show. Imagine trying to watch "Lord of the Rings" with cheezy synthesizers droning in behind.

Technology can be a pain in the ass. I studied Classical composition in school and I know how impending deadlines can severely compromise the creativity in you work. Now I've used 'notation' software and MIDI interfaces to help speed up my work, but I find that I get lazy using these tools. I'm guilty of handing in a few assignment where I've just filled it with 'cut and paste' work. Ugh. I don't envy soundtrack writers.

Here's some advice, enjoy your soundtracks and ignore your friends. Don't compromise your own taste because someone else has such a pretentious view of soundtrack music.

>>948464
Trust me, there is still a large amount of crap out there that tries to pass itself off as Jazz. I've seen a lot of detective/cop dramas with some really bad pseudo-Jazz playing in the background.

Now this is a little off-topic, but have you noticed that on tv there always seems to be an angst-ridden, tough-as-nails cop, doctor, lawyer. etc that unwinds at home by listening to old Jazz on vinyl.

>>948491
Yeah, it's a bit of a cliche that dates back to earlier crime movies and TV shows and probably even film noir with the hardboiled detectives.

Also, in regard to this whole classical vs. soundtrack thing, some of the snootiness is not unwarranted as classical has a TON of heavyweights but these people are not comparing the two fields in the proper manner. It's not quite apples and oranges but the differences are significant enough that comparing the two as if they were the same thing would be a mistake.

Either way, if you enjoy listening to it, listen to it. You should always spend some time trying to appreciate the more advanced works (in other words, if you like shallow pop, try listening to more respected bands to gain a better appreciation of music) but don't let the music snobs influence you too much.

Now speaking of which, anyone have any good jazz or soundtracks to recommend? ^_^

>>948502
If you're looking for some smooth Jazz I recommend The Dave Brubeck Quartet "Time Out" album. If you want some free Jazz and wild improv I recommend John Coltrane. If you want some experiments in modern Jazz, Funk and Fusion try Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" album or Herbie Hancock ("Cantaloupe Island or "Watermelon Man" are good tunes.)

>>948514
I agree with this, but I'm cringing at the "smooth jazz" label.

Ok, ok "Cool Jazz" would have been a more appropriate label. My bad.

Your kidding, right. Not exactly the most /c/ friendly. To each their own, but these lyrics are a little much.

To admit Hitler was funny

As a personal story involving music; I was looking for a summer project and I was thinking of building a bass guitar. I'm a woodworker by trade so I have the tools and knowladge...it's just that they seem so finicky that I'm nervous if I even make a small mistake the whole guitar thing garbage. I was thinking of making the body out of mahogany with a deep red stain on the face and a matching red paint on the sides. If this thread continues I'll try and capture some photos of the build

>>948687
Good luck Anon! If you promise to keep us updated I'll see what I can do about keeping these threads going (it shouldn't be too hard, we've made it to 14). From what I've heard, getting the action just right on any guitar is the biggest pain. Have you picked a head yet?

You don't have to be friendly on /c/. /c/ will be friendly to you.

Straight outta Compton crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
When I'm called off I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off
You too boy if ya fuck with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass that's how I'm goin out
For the punk motherfuckers that's showin out
Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a motherfucker like that
with a gat that's pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a murder rap to keep yo dancin
with a crime record like Charles Manson
AK-47 is the tool
Don't make me act the motherfuckin fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I'm knockin niggaz out tha box, daily
yo weekly, monthly and yearly
until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
that I'm down with the capital C-P-T
Boy you can't fuck with me
So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
Coz Ice Cube is crazy as fuck
As I leave, believe I'm stompin
but when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta Compton
<curb stomp sample>

Thanks for your support! I was thinking of just buying a replacement p-bass neck from a well known guitar makers site. So I'd have the head a p-bass has , I know it's a bit lazy ; but necks are so complex and I'd need some really fancy and expensive tools to do so.

Update #1 !
I was cleaning up the shop on Friday and found some really beutiful mahogany that'd be perfect for the guitar top. Aparently the wood was my boss' and he said I could use as much as I want for free! As of right now I'm working on the body design , I'll post it soon as I'm done. I'm also welcome to any suggestions from bass players in what they think would make a nice bass

O no, I see,
A spider web is tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I'd said.

O no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turn to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

It's time to get my groove on......

Did anyone catch the interview with Billy Bob Thornton here in Canada? Now I'm no fan of Jian Ghomeshi (personally, I think he's a little weasel), but Billy Bob was a complete idiot. See for yourself:

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

On April 9, Billy Bob (and his band the Boxmasters) were booed at Massey Hall in Toronto. I never thought I'd hear of anyone getting booed there. The Boxmasters, who were an opening act for Willie Nelson and Ray Price, have since dropped off from the rest of the Canadian tour. Does anyone else think that Billy Bob should stick to acting?

>>948502
Still looking for soundtracks? If you're interested in Soul and R&B give 'The Commitments' soundtrack a try. There are great covers of some classics like "Mustang Sally", "Try A Little Tenderness", "In The Midnight Hour", and "Chain of Fools".

>>949939
There's nothing worse than actors becoming wannabe musicians. Remember Eddie Murphy and "Party All The Time"? Ugh. Billy Bob needs to go back to Hollywood. Take Joaquin Phoenix with you.

Once I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
Oh... my unspeakable wife, Queen Lisa (now I eat humble pie)
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
And now I work at the Pizza Pizza
Royalty, lord it looked good on me
Buried in silk in the royal boudoir or going nuclear free
Or playing Crokinole with the Princess of Monaco
Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders, getting it all on video
Once I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
A palatial palace, that was my home (now I eat humble pie)
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
And now I vacuum the turf at SkyDome (once he was the King of Spain)

Cliff Burton was the best Bass player imo. Much better than Steven Harris, Nikki Sixx, Gene Simons etc. He Inspired me to pick up the bass.

R.I.P Cliff Lee burton!

>>950762
Fuck yes. I gotta hand it to Rob for being pretty shiznat on the bass himself though.

Nothing like Kirk and Cliff playing together. I wonder what would have happened if they never ousted Dave Mustaine. Hmmm?

These are two of my favorites from The Band.

>>950030
Cool, thanks. I'm taking whatever suggestions people make and checking this thread every day or so since it's been a good discussion.

>>950793
Mustaine probably would have been the one to die in the bus accident, somehow, someway.
I've said in this thread they're awfully similar, but I do enjoy the differences they display. They almost sort of compare like Elder Scrolls Oblivion (Metallica's obsession with the occult) with Fallout 3 (Megadeth's obsession with nuclear war).
Don't you know that killing

>>948502
Not exactly sure what kind of soundtracks you're into so I'll give you a few different recommendations.
If it's 'Classical' music you want dive into John Williams. I listen to the deluxe version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" all the time. If you want something different give Danny Elfman and 'Batman" a listen. Set aside the opening theme and you get some great 'gothic' sounding music with sharp brass and rumbling cellos and basses. Also try Fantasia (Disney 1940). Leopold Stokowski does some wonderful arranging of some great classical compositions.

If you want some "Mood" music (now don't laugh) I recommend "Buffy Radio Sunnydale [UK Version]". Yes from the "Vampire Slayer" show. Some of it can sound brooding (almost emo), but tracks like "Summerbreeze" - Emiliana Torrini, "Blue" - Angie Hart, and "That Kind Of Love" - Alison Kruss, deserve a listen.

If 'Alternative' music turns your crank give the soundtrack to "The Crow" a listen. Loved the movie and I thought the music was a great match. "Big Empty" - Stone Temple Pilots, "Burn" - The Cure, "Dead Souls" - NIN, great tracks. Look into the "Tank Girl" soundtrack as well.

It's classic vinyl time and this time we've got ourselves some old school guitar work.

"Guitar Freakout" - The Ventures

>>951442
You want some old school watch this:

The Ventures might have done a great job of "Pipeline", but the Chantays released it first. The Anthrax version off their "Attack of the Killer B's" album also rocks.

I think I've caught something, my throat was sore and my nose was stuffy all of last night.

But things are looking up because I'm going to listen to WYNONA'S BIG BROWN BEAVER
Wynona took her big brown beaver and she stuck him up in the air
Said, "I sure do love this big brown beaver an' I wish I did have a pair"

If Metallica Keped Mustaine I think he would have been killed in the Accident also...but if not the band would have been at a stand still imo. Mustaine and Lars/James have totaly different ideas or mind sets, Metallica would not be where they are today.

Thats just what I think anyway.

btw, Im Listning To "Jump In the Fire" By Metallica ;]

I can't find a good image that represents Colin Potter. It's just ambient music. What does an ambient loli look like?

Get a Grip
There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Listen, all I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Crying - Aerosmith

Last Regrets

I like "Blood Frozen" by Dark Funeral. I've been listening to a lot of Dark Funeral lately.
