The Music Thread

Zune software is kinda cool, if you want to post a list of what you listen to on the interwebs for all to see.

[reaperman]

So, what you're saying is that it's perfect for show-off douchebags?

[reaperman]

I can only imagine the horror.

[DylanW]

Nickelcrap (mp3 download at the bottom of the article). I think you can guess what they're parodying.

[DylanW]

From the "holy @#$ this actually exists?" department:

Sixpence None the Richer's "Kiss Me" in (mostly) Japanese: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euj_oMyDpLE

I picked up their "Best Of" CD when I was at McKay's today, and it had this song on there.

Just thought it was cool that an American band did something like this. I don't think it means that anyone involved in making this record is an otaku, but it's sort of along the lines of Lisa Ray doing English songs in Japanese.

I heard something interesting on NPR. It was a very long funk song. The first five minutes were instrumental. The second five minutes had words. The final bit was a funk version of Everybody Must Get Stoned, before it faded out with the same instrumental as it began with. It was awesome.

I think I'm required by law to inform you that the song title isn't "Everybody Must Get Stoned," it's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"

On 94.3's Pay for Play weekend, I got them to play:
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets - Operation Get the Hell Out of Here
Jonathan Coulton - Still Alive
Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives - Head Like a Hole

Non-geeks apparently cannot comprehend "Still Alive."

You sir are both a son of a ~-bleep-~ and too late. I have already been informed.

[DylanW]

I am sorry you feel that way. But you see that my hands were tied. As it has been certified that I have COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE, I was required by law to correct you.

I am only sad that I was not the first to provide you with such help.

[reaperman]

This just in...I hate you.

[reaperman]

Nor is he prepared.

So says the voice of experience.

I saw this mentioned in a blog comments thread today: Sailor Moon Christmas Album.

And when I say "mentioned," I mean "they use this as a defense against co-workers who play Christmas music non-stop from Thanksgiving to Christmas."

Sadly, it's in OGG format, which means I have to figure out the best way to play it.

[DylanW]

Used Media Player Classic to play the OGG files. (Found it linked here.)

The Sailor Moon Christmas album is pretty bizarre. It demands at least one listen.
