[17:36] <@Alphy> What's going on?!?!
[17:36] <@Skyline> GO
[17:36] <@Alphy> KABOOM!
[17:36] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Takk... - Time: 0:03/1:57
[17:36] <@Skyline> Group listen!
[17:36] <@Skyline> Okay, so.
[17:36] <@Skyline> I find that this is a great way to start off the album.
[17:36] <@Stephen> So this is pretty intense.
[17:36] <@Skyline> It's so ambiguous and inviting.
[17:36] <@Alphy> I'm still listening to Costello
[17:36] <@Pawz> I'm gonna start jumping with glee when Milano comes on.
[17:36] <@Skyline> Like, it really just sets the whole mood of the album.
[17:36] <@Skyline> And it also lures you in.
[17:37] <@Stephen> Dude, but Glosoli and Hoppipolla are also there.
[17:37] <@Skyline> Glósóli will be great.
[17:37] <@Stephen> It's so much tension.
[17:37] <@Skyline> I have my speakers turned up a lot!
[17:37] <@Pawz> I always have my speakers turned up a lot.
[17:37] <@Stephen> Shimmershimmershimmershimmer
[17:37] <@Skyline> Note the chord progression in this intro is the same as in Glósóli.
[17:37] <@Stephen> Yeah.
[17:37] * @Pawz turns them up more.
[17:38] <@Stephen> Is that some vocal?
[17:38] <@Skyline> Yes.
[17:38] <@Pawz> I like how #n is totally on the fritz with people talking and we are safe in our haven listening to ethereal music.
[17:38] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Glósóli - Time: 0:03/6:15
[17:38] <@Skyline> oh wow
[17:38] <@Skyline> They played this at the concert.
[17:38] <@Stephen> My computer just froze, so I must be out of sync. :(
[17:38] <@Pawz> I love feeling music.
[17:38] <@Skyline> At the finish, all of the seats were shaking.
[17:38] <@Skyline> And everyone was seated, but it was still so powerful.
[17:39] <@Pawz> my feet are resting on my subwoofer right now.
[17:39] <@Pawz> I can feel it up to my thighs.
[17:39] <@Skyline> I'm gonna try that.
[17:39] <@Skyline> Woahhh.
[17:39] <@Skyline> Do you guys both know what this song is about?
[17:39] <@Pawz> And then I can hear the house as it feels the vibrations pulsing through it with harmony and melody.
[17:40] <@Pawz> haha, Skyline puts his feet on his subwoofer and the meaning of the song is suddenly clear.
[17:40] <@Skyline> Bahahaha.
[17:40] <@Skyline> But really.
[17:40] <@Skyline> It's about some boy who wakes up to find that the sun is gone.
[17:40] <@Skyline> And then at the end of the song, he finds it.
[17:40] <@Skyline> Gló sóli. Glow sun.
[17:40] * Pawz171 ([email protected]) has joined #music
[17:40] * Pawz171 is now known as southpawPOWPOW
[17:41] <@Skyline> The entirety of this song is just a big tension builder.
[17:41] * @Pawz ([email protected]) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by southpawPOWPOW)))
[17:41] * southpawPOWPOW is now known as Pawz
[17:41] <@Skyline> And then the huge finish. D:
[17:41] <@Skyline> When you're listening to this, just think of this.
[17:41] <@Skyline> http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak- ... 9_3584.jpg
[17:42] <@Skyline> ...and commence buildup!
[17:42] <@Stephen> She is with the sun
[17:42] <@Stephen> And it's out here
[17:42] <@Stephen> But where are you...
[17:42] <@Stephen> She's the glowing sun
[17:42] <@Stephen> So come out
[17:42] <@Skyline> See, I had never heard this song when they played it live.
[17:42] <@Skyline> So it was extra amazing!
[17:42] <@Skyline> HERE WE GO
[17:42] <@Skyline> HERE WE GOO
[17:42] <@Stephen> ihgsdiasgdoUA}UOAHFDSPIHA
[17:42] <@Skyline> OAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[17:42] <@Stephen> ADS:LJASPDJAPDJ
[17:42] <Pawz> haha, yeah, I had sent you Takk... after the concert.
[17:43] <@Skyline> I close my eyes and put my face into the speakers here.
[17:43] <@Stephen> The video for this song is amazing.
[17:43] * Pawz turns subwoofer up.
[17:44] <@Skyline> Oh man.
[17:44] <@Skyline> That felt so good.
[17:44] <Pawz> hehe
[17:44] <Pawz> my house is rattling like crazy.
[17:44] * Pawz sigh
[17:44] <@Skyline> I hope my sister doesn't come down and yell at me. XD
[17:44] <Pawz> I hope my cousin doesn't wake up...
[17:44] <Pawz> actually, I just hope my cousin isn't home.
[17:44] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla - Time: 0:06/4:28
[17:44] <@Skyline> And now for the most poppish song on the album.
[17:44] <@Stephen> Yeah.
[17:44] <@Skyline> They played this too!
[17:44] <@Stephen> This is played on TV so damn much.
[17:45] <@Stephen> Seriously.
[17:45] <@Skyline> The only Sigur Rós I've seen on TV was Track 3.
[17:45] <@Stephen> The first time I heard this song on TV, I was amazed.
[17:45] <@Skyline> Hahaha.
[17:45] <@Stephen> Now it's actually the most over-used song ever.
[17:45] <@Stephen> Where did you hear #3?
[17:45] <@Skyline> CSI. o_O
[17:45] <Pawz> Hence the reason why I stopped watching TV and stopped listening to the radio.
[17:45] <@Stephen> #3 is possibly my favourite track on ( ), by the way.
[17:45] <Pawz> I decided that they were both the reason why I started to hate my music.
[17:46] <@Skyline> This is the song I heard when I turned on my television and found Heima on one morning.
[17:46] <@Stephen> I like some TV. My family watch TV so much though, so I hear Hoppipolla a lot. :P
[17:46] <Pawz> So even if I do find a song that is super popular, at least I can like it on my own terms and don't have to immediately identify it to "that TV show" or "that overplayed song on FM radio".
[17:46] <@Stephen> Yeah, I used to be kinda like that.
[17:47] <@Skyline> I showed this song to my friend and he didn't like it because it wasn't in English. XD
[17:47] <@Stephen> I love being open-minded.
[17:47] <Pawz> besides, internets keep you updated on your favourite bands and when they are releasing new stuff.
[17:47] <@Stephen> I know loads of people who love Sigur Ros.
[17:47] <@Stephen> Yeah.
[17:47] <Pawz> haha, Skyline.
[17:47] <@Skyline> I spend any time I used to watch TV on the computer or listening to music now.
[17:47] <Pawz> yeah, same.
[17:48] <Pawz> actually... I quit video games to play N and then the rest is the last 1.5 years of my life.
[17:48] <@Stephen> Ahahaha.
[17:48] <@Skyline> Hahaha.
[17:48] <@Skyline> Me too.
[17:48] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla - Time: 4:01/4:28
[17:48] <@Stephen> I love this bit.
[17:48] <Pawz> a bit early there Stephen. >:(
[17:49] <@Stephen> Hmm, really?
[17:49] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Meo Blódnasir - Time: 0:02/2:17
[17:49] <Pawz> there we go.
[17:49] <@Skyline> They played this too!
[17:49] <Pawz> We got Eiturlyf to translate this track title for us, remember Skyline?
[17:49] <@Skyline> Actually, I think it was just incorporated into Hoppípolla.
[17:49] <@Stephen> No, I did mean I love the bit at the end of Hoppipolla.
[17:49] <@Stephen> I have a Nosebleed.
[17:49] <Pawz> "Had bloody nose" or something is what that means.
[17:49] <@Skyline> The audience had to sing here. ;-;
[17:49] <@Stephen> :)
[17:50] <@Skyline> I really love the drums.
[17:50] <Pawz> bass FTFUCKINGW
[17:50] <@Skyline> They're so much more overpowering.
[17:50] <@Stephen> I just remembered, this is the first album I listened to with my girlfriend.
[17:50] <@Skyline> :D
[17:50] <@Stephen> Well, made out to with my girlfriend.
[17:50] <Pawz> I have a feeling that one day I'm going to get a house and put subwoofers underneath the floorboards.
[17:50] <@Skyline> D:
[17:51] <@Skyline> Pawz, I have a home-integrated stereo with speakers in the ceilings of multiple rooms.
[17:51] <@Skyline> It shakes the house so much.
[17:51] <@Stephen> It was cool, because she hadn't heard it before, and I knew where all the climaxes came.
[17:51] <Pawz> And then when future wife and kids are out for the day I'll plug them in and play communist daught and when they come home they'll have to search through the splintered wood to find me.
[17:51] <@Stephen> ...of music.
[17:51] <@Skyline> Hahahah.
[17:51] <@Stephen> Climaxes in the music.
[17:51] <@Stephen> Of sound.
[17:51] <@Skyline> Sure.
[17:51] <@Stephen> Ahem.
* Retrieving #music modes...
[17:51] <@Skyline> That would be sad, Pawz. ;_;
[17:51] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Sé Lest - Time: 0:35/8:40
[17:52] <Pawz> hehe, Climaxes.
[17:52] <@Stephen> I see a train.
[17:52] <@Stephen> This song is all in Hopelandic.
[17:52] <Pawz> and nah, I'd be alright, Skyline.
[17:52] <@Skyline> This reminds me of Sim City.
[17:52] <Pawz> ( ) is their only album in Hopelandic.
[17:52] <@Skyline> They have a song much like this part.
[17:52] <@Stephen> Haha.
[17:52] <Pawz> I believe this song is in Icelandic.
[17:53] <@Skyline> Mm, lovely strings.
[17:53] <@Skyline> I think this is definitely their best album.
[17:54] <@Stephen> No, this is Hopelandic.
[17:54] <Pawz> FAQ about Sigur Ros: is it true that jónsi is gay?
[17:54] <Pawz> yes.
[17:54] <@Stephen> Well, according to lyrics plugin.
[17:54] <Pawz> and that he's blind in one eye?
[17:54] <Pawz> yes.
[17:55] <@Skyline> Jónsi is rather attractive.
[17:55] <@Stephen> Jónsi is basically amazing, I mean really.
[17:56] <Pawz> have sigur rós ever collaborated with mogwai?
[17:56] <Pawz> no.
[17:56] <@Stephen> He's kind of weird-looking.
[17:56] <@Stephen> But, I would.
[17:56] <Pawz> ;_; why not!?!
[17:56] <@Skyline> The parade is here!
[17:56] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Sé Lest - Time: 5:03/8:40
[17:56] <@Stephen> I heard the track that was tagged as a Mogwai/Sigur Rós collaboration.
[17:56] <@Stephen> It was TERRIBLE.
[17:56] <Pawz> apparently there was a track that was title "luvstory" but it was by a Korean band and not actually by Sigur Ros and Mogwai.
[17:56] * Yanni sets mode: +o Pawz
[17:57] <@Pawz> thanks Yanni.
[17:57] <@Stephen> It was rubbish.
[17:57] <@Skyline> PARADE TIME
[17:57] <@Skyline> GET READY
[17:57] <@Skyline> BALLOONS FLOATING IN THE BLUE SKY
[17:57] <@Skyline> NEAR POWERLINES AND A WOODEN FENCE
[17:57] <@Pawz> you visualize your music so much, Skyline.
[17:57] <@Skyline> The clouds are puffy and almost brown.
[17:57] <@Pawz> It's not a bad thing, I just have never been able to do that...
[17:57] <@Skyline> There is dry yellow grass and a dirt path through a carnival!
[17:58] <@Skyline> It's hot and dry outside.
[17:58] <@Skyline> That's what I think of during that part.
[17:58] <@Yanni> That's what I think everyday
[17:58] <@Skyline> And this is the part that describes the clouds.
[17:58] <@Yanni> ;________________;
[17:58] * @Yanni ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
[17:58] <@Pawz> haha
[17:58] <@Skyline> The fluttering strings.
[17:58] <@Skyline> It's raining a little bit!
[17:58] <@Skyline> I'm a very visual person.
[17:59] <@Pawz> I always want music to be inside me, if that makes any sense.
[17:59] <@Stephen> I can visualise stuff sometimes.
[17:59] <@Skyline> I feel like I'm consuming good music.
[17:59] <@Pawz> It's not a visual thing but a feeling. An intangible being that works its way through me and changes me in some way or another.
[17:59] <@Skyline> I get the feeling that I'm eating it.
[17:59] <@Skyline> And then the not good music just floats by me.
[17:59] <@Stephen> I have a friend who visualises all her friends as objects and colours.
[17:59] <@Stephen> I don't really get that, though.
[18:00] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Sé Lest - Time: 8:32/8:40
[18:00] <@Skyline> Oh, this is good.
[18:00] <@Skyline> This is really good.
[18:00] <@Stephen> SCCKCKKRKRKRKCSKCKS
[18:00] <@Pawz> saeglopur
[18:00] <@Skyline> You're behind, Stephen. D:<
[18:00] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Saeglopur - Time: 0:06/7:38
[18:00] <@Stephen> Aw.
[18:00] <@Skyline> They played this too.
[18:00] <@Stephen> I froze up again, earlier.
[18:00] <@Stephen> Alive
[18:00] <@Stephen> Has returned home
[18:00] <@Stephen> A lost seafarer
[18:00] <@Stephen> Alive
[18:00] <@Stephen> Has returned home
[18:00] <@Stephen> A diver comes
[18:00] <@Skyline> This is sunset next to a big metal house, Pawz.
[18:00] <@Stephen> I saw the video for this, at Alton Towers.
[18:00] <@Stephen> XD
[18:00] <@Skyline> They played this live.
[18:01] <@Skyline> They all started crowded around a few sets of bells.
[18:01] <@Skyline> And it was kinda dark.
[18:01] <@Skyline> And right before the guitars come in, there was a flash of light and I saw Jónsi spit. XD
[18:01] <@Stephen> http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1VGv3GNTg8s/R ... uitars.jpg
[18:01] <@Skyline> Everyone runs over to their guitars right about now.
[18:01] <@Stephen> PITCHFORK GUITAR.
[18:01] <@Skyline> WOOO BASS
[18:01] <@Skyline> PAWZ
[18:01] <@Skyline> LISTEN TO THAT
[18:02] <@Skyline> Haha.
[18:02] <@Pawz> no. FEEL THAT.
[18:02] <@Skyline> This song actually does sound very underwater to me, Stephen.
[18:02] <@Stephen> Yeah.
[18:02] <@Stephen> I think it's in the production.
[18:02] <@Pawz> I think of it as expansive.
[18:02] <@Stephen> The echoes.
[18:02] <@Skyline> They're diving into the dark depths through rusty wires right about now.
[18:03] <@Stephen> It's kind of thin water.
[18:03] <@Skyline> And at that floaty end string section, they surface.
[18:03] <@Skyline> I think the descending bass line makes me think of diving.
[18:03] <@Stephen> Lots of seaweed.
[18:03] <@Stephen> WAIT.
[18:03] <@Skyline> Yes, definitely.
[18:03] <@Stephen> Really old-style diving suit.
[18:03] <@Skyline> Haha, yeah.
[18:04] <@Pawz> this is ripping through me.
[18:04] <@Pawz> heh, it's in my arms now...
[18:04] <@Pawz> aahhhh, the best feeling....
[18:04] <@Pawz> subsiding music makes me feel so awesome.
[18:05] <@Skyline> Mmm.
[18:05] <@Pawz> bass again.
[18:05] <@Skyline> Guess what's next, Pawz. :)
[18:06] <@Pawz> <#
[18:06] <@Pawz> <3<3<3
[18:06] <@Skyline> I'd definitely go see these guys again, anyways.
[18:06] <@Pawz> that was your first concert, right Skyline?
[18:07] <@Skyline> Yes.
[18:07] <@Pawz> shit, I'm hungry..
[18:07] <@Skyline> Do you guys hear him screaming in those last ten seconds?
[18:07] <@Pawz> I dont want to leave!!!
[18:07] <@Skyline> Well, twenty.
[18:07] <@Pawz> modulated screaming?
[18:07] <@Stephen> Hmm, maybe.
[18:07] <@Skyline> Anyway, here we go.
[18:07] <@Stephen> It sounds hella distorted, if so.
[18:07] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Milanó - Time: 0:05/10:25
[18:07] <@Skyline> Yes, for sure.
[18:07] <@Stephen> Hopelandic again.
[18:08] <@Skyline> And I love that submarine radar sound.
[18:08] <@Skyline> It comes up in this song too!
[18:08] <@Pawz> this song has a lot of subsiding.
[18:08] <@Skyline> Yes.
[18:08] <@Pawz> building, building, subsiding.
[18:08] <@Skyline> Two very slow mountains.
[18:08] <@Pawz> building building building building subsiding.
[18:08] <@Skyline> I love the piano.
[18:08] <@Pawz> which is why I think I love it.
[18:08] <@Skyline> It's like raindrops on a windowsill!
[18:09] <@Pawz> All this tension to be washed away with his voice at the end of each major progression.
[18:09] <@Skyline> Yes.
[18:09] <@Skyline> He goes from whispering to screaming.
[18:10] <@Skyline> This is actually one of the few songs that he gets overpowered by the instruments.
[18:10] <@Pawz> alto? does he sing alto?
[18:10] <@Skyline> I dunno.
[18:10] <@Pawz> or soprano? I can't remember.
[18:10] <@Skyline> Probably alto.
[18:10] <@Stephen> He can't be soprano...
[18:10] <@Pawz> true.
[18:10] <@Pawz> tenor is the lowest scale isn't it?
[18:10] <@Skyline> Baritone.
[18:10] <@Pawz> ah yeah.
[18:11] <@Pawz> those guys have DEEP voices.
[18:11] <@Stephen> This is F#, G, A, which is very high tenor, or alto.
[18:11] <@Skyline> Seriously, though. I love this.
[18:11] <@Stephen> Bass is the lowest.
[18:11] <@Skyline> Oh, bass. Whatev.
[18:11] <@Stephen> Baritone is me, between bass and tenor.
[18:11] <@Stephen> Alto then soprano are supposed to be the female voices.
[18:11] <@Skyline> HERE WE GO
[18:11] <@Pawz> mm, the lower octave or two below middle C?
[18:11] <@Stephen> I know girls who sing tenor with me, though.
[18:11] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Milanó - Time: 3:57/10:25
[18:11] <@Stephen> I could probably sing bass.
[18:11] * @Pawz turns music up.
[18:11] <@Skyline> See, he's still screaming, but he's actually not as loud as everything else.
[18:11] <@Stephen> I sing tenor in choir.
[18:11] <@Skyline> I like how he gets lost.
[18:12] <@Pawz> here we go.
[18:12] <@Pawz> I'm getting chills...
[18:12] <@Stephen> He sings D/C# here.
[18:12] <@Skyline> More raindrops on a windosill. :)
[18:12] <@Stephen> Which is like, high alto.
[18:12] <@Pawz> mmm
[18:12] <@Stephen> But it's all in falsetto.
[18:12] <@Stephen> This is the ones above middle C.
[18:12] <@Pawz> ah.
[18:12] <@Stephen> The D a major 9th above middle C.
[18:13] <@Stephen> But in the crazier bits he hits an F, I think.
[18:13] <@Skyline> This must be a lot of endurance for the violins and related instruments. :p
[18:13] <@Stephen> Like, here.
[18:13] <@Pawz> I love how his voice blends into the guitars....
[18:13] <@Stephen> Yeah, it's hell of drone.
[18:13] <@Skyline> And really, really, -really- slow crescendos.
[18:14] <@Pawz> jesus.
[18:14] <@Skyline> Here comes round two.
[18:14] <@Pawz> my bass is freaking out at the sudden note changes.
[18:14] <@Pawz> My feet keep going from constant shaking to brief moment of clarity to more shaking.
[18:14] <@Pawz> here we go.
[18:15] <@Pawz> second release.
[18:15] <@Skyline> And my legs go limp!
[18:15] <@Pawz> hehe
[18:16] <@Skyline> Ooh, super depressing song next.
[18:16] <@Pawz> cannot wait for heysatan
[18:17] <@Stephen> Heysatan has weird lyrics.
[18:17] <@Stephen> But kind of cool.
[18:17] <@Stephen> I think it's just a shit translation.
[18:17] <@Pawz> song changes...
[18:18] <@Pawz> NOW
[18:18] <@Skyline> Here we go.
[18:18] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Milanó - Time: 10:21/10:25
[18:18] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Milanó - Time: 10:23/10:25
[18:18] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Gong - Time: 0:00/5:33
[18:18] <@Pawz> haha
[18:18] <@Stephen> THERE
[18:18] <@Pawz> a good 10 or so seconds behind.
[18:18] <@Pawz> that's alright.
[18:18] <@Skyline> This song is running through the rocky mountains of eastern Europe at sundown being chased by wolves.
[18:18] <@Skyline> You don't know where they are, though. They're just somewhere in the leafless forest behind you.
[18:19] <@Pawz> I'd love listening to this while biking through the sloshing rain.
[18:19] <@Skyline> Great percussion.
[18:19] <@Pawz> If it rains tonight I'm going to ride up Mt. Tabor and then ride all the way down the hill.
[18:19] <@Skyline> Wow.
[18:19] <@Pawz> as fast as I want. I probably won't be going super fast, because my bike has a tendency to hydroplane like crazy.
[18:20] <@Skyline> Be careful. :(
[18:20] <@Pawz> I will. :)
[18:20] <@Pawz> Thanks for your concern though ^_^
[18:20] <@Pawz> oh, I mean D:<
[18:20] <@Skyline> This song is quite bassy.
[18:21] <@Stephen> It's not being chased.
[18:21] <@Pawz> It's a bit unfortunate that treble doesn't rattle my house as easily... or anything as easily...
[18:21] <@Stephen> It's a really brisk walk, where you have a lot on your mind.
[18:21] <@Stephen> And you're late.
[18:21] <@Skyline> If you say so. ;-;
[18:21] <@Pawz> I feel more like chasing.
[18:21] <@Pawz> instead of being chased.
[18:21] <@Skyline> It just reminds me of panic a lot.
[18:21] <@Stephen> You're late for a date, and you're walking through the park, and you don't think things are going well between you two lately.
[18:22] <@Pawz> trying to discover something that is always just a little too far ahead of you.
[18:22] <@Stephen> But whateer you see in it :)
[18:22] <@Pawz> distractions.
[18:22] <@Skyline> I prefer my imagery. Heh.
[18:22] <@Pawz> it's not imagery for me, more internal than anything. I guess I've said that a lot already though.
[18:22] <@Yahoozy> WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS INVITE ME TO YOUR GAY PARTY
[18:22] <@Yahoozy> ARGH ARGH ARGH

[18:22] <@Stephen> TAKK.
[18:22] <@Stephen> HERE.
[18:22] <@Pawz> Because Yahoozy.
[18:23] <@Stephen> Erm.
[18:23] * Stephen sets mode: -b *!*[email protected]
[18:23] * Stephen sets mode: +o Yahoozy
[18:23] <@Skyline> I love the just percussion part.
[18:23] <@Stephen> Get Gong going about here.
[18:23] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Gong - Time: 5:06/5:33
[18:23] * Yahoozy sets mode: -o+b Yahoozy *!*[email protected]
[18:23] <@Skyline> Yahoozy, last night you said "FUCK SIGUR RÓS".
[18:23] <@Pawz> more like 10 seconds more than there.
[18:23] <@Pawz> cue andvari
[18:23] <@Skyline> Very contemplative song.
[18:23] <@Stephen> Zephyr
[18:23] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Andvari - Time: 0:10/6:40
[18:24] <@Stephen> In the last song, someone had added their own interpretation of the Hopelandic.
[18:24] <@Skyline> I'm thinking summer night, sitting on the back porch looking into the woods.
[18:24] <@Skyline> Ooh.
[18:24] <@Skyline> Also, Yahoozy, now I see where you got your Lost Seafarer map title from.
[18:25] <@Skyline> :D
[18:27] <@Skyline> This song is actually rather average.
[18:28] <@Skyline> Compared to the rest of the album, at least.
[18:28] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Andvari - Time: 4:16/6:40
[18:28] <@Stephen> Yeah.
[18:28] <@Stephen> I agree.
[18:28] <@Skyline> This just strings part is nice, though.
[18:28] <@Stephen> It is pretty.
[18:28] * Stephen sets mode: -b *!*[email protected]
[18:28] <@Stephen> ¬_¬
[18:29] <@Pawz> read this: http://www.riceboysleeps.com/
[18:29] <@Pawz> while listneing to this ending, it's perfect.
[18:29] <@Skyline> "staired up at the sun"
[18:29] <Yahoozy> ;_;
[18:30] <@Skyline> The misspelling makes it even better.
[18:30] <@Skyline> Yahoozy, you can join in for the last two songs.
[18:30] <Yahoozy> No, fuck Sigur Ros.
[18:30] <@Stephen> Clever wordplay it is.
[18:30] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Svo Hljótt - Time: 0:28/7:24
[18:31] <@Skyline> ;_:
[18:31] * Stephen sets mode: +o Yahoozy
[18:31] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: Pavement - Summer Babe (Winter Version)
[18:31] <@Skyline> I'm actually not too familiar with this song.
[18:31] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Svo Hljótt - Time: 0:47/7:24
[18:31] <@Stephen> Oh, yeah.
[18:31] <@Skyline> All I know is, krusch's photography goes excellently with this album.
[18:32] <@Yahoozy> We could listen to Pavement.
[18:32] <@Yahoozy> Or Deerhunter.
[18:33] <@Yahoozy> bUT fuck Sigur Ros.
[18:33] <@Skyline> Nope.
[18:33] <@Yahoozy> But*
[18:33] <@Yahoozy> o_O
[18:33] <@Skyline> Ooh, nice bass.
[18:33] <@Stephen> The new Kate Beaton comic is hilarious.
[18:33] <@Skyline> Very subtle entrance.
[18:35] <@Skyline> This is getting very chaotic. ;_;
[18:35] <@Stephen> Yeah, this isn't a great song.
[18:36] <@Pawz> damn.
[18:36] <@Skyline> I meant, in a good way, Stephen.
[18:36] <@Pawz> I'm gonna need food and a shower after this.
[18:36] <@Pawz> after heysatan
[18:36] <@Stephen> Hmm.
[18:37] <@Stephen> Sigur Ros can do this better, though.
[18:37] <@Skyline> Heysátan!
[18:38] * @Stephen is listening to Sigur Rós - Heysátan - Time: 0:37/4:09
[18:38] <@Stephen> the stack of hay
[18:38] <@Stephen> had them all calm
[18:38] <@Stephen> but I mowed
[18:38] <@Stephen> I mowed fields
[18:38] <@Stephen> I have mowed fucking enough
[18:38] <@Stephen> but I moved
[18:38] <@Stephen> the stack of hay
[18:38] <@Stephen> then begins to blow out the door
[18:38] <@Stephen> out into the field (I dragged)
[18:38] <@Stephen> a wagon of hay on Massey Ferguson
[18:38] <@Stephen> 'cause he gave in
[18:38] <@Stephen> and I slipped... fuck
[18:38] <@Stephen> I was first
[18:38] <@Stephen> and now rest here
[18:38] <@Stephen> with a folded cap
[18:38] <@Stephen> and now loll my head here, content
[18:38] <@Stephen> I HAVE MOWED FUCKING ENOUGH
[18:39] <@Skyline> That's... strange.
[18:39] <@Stephen> Bad translation, I think.
[18:39] <@Skyline> It does mean hay stack, though. The title.
[18:39] <@Stephen> Yes.
[18:40] <@Stephen> I just mean, there are some weird lexical choices.
[18:40] <@Skyline> Oh, yeah.
[18:41] <@Skyline> And there we have it.
[18:42] <@Pawz> awesome.
[18:42] <@Skyline> What a great album.
[18:42] <@Stephen> There we go.
[18:42] * @Stephen is listening to Sonic Youth - In The Kingdom #19 - Time: 0:11/3:25
[18:42] * @Pawz . animal collective . strawberry jam . for reverend green *
[18:42] <@Stephen> This is the worst song to follow Takk.
[18:42] <@Pawz> This is the best song to listen to when you're in need of a pick-me-up.
[18:42] <@Skyline> After listening to a full album, I just have silence for a while.
[18:43] <@Pawz> contemplating what you just saw? :P
[18:43] <@Stephen> I can play it on guitar, Pawz.
[18:43] <@Stephen> Kinda.
[18:44] <@Skyline> Indeed, Pawz.
[18:44] <@Pawz> I yell with lyrics.
[18:44] <@Skyline> And felt. And heard!
[18:44] <@Skyline> Not smelled or tasted, though.
[18:44] <@Skyline> Those are two senses I can't relate to music.
[18:44] <@Pawz> that's too bad...
[18:44] <@Pawz> though maybe it would be a bad thing to taste music.
[18:44] <@Skyline> Yeah.
[18:44] <@Skyline> I could possibly develop a sense of musical smell if I tried hard enough.
[18:45] <@Pawz> probably.

[Lenny]

Awesome, it's here!

I'd recommend attaching the things as text files, because it can make the spoiler a bit... spoily.

Awesome job, though. I'm definitely thinking pinnage if this keeps going well.

[fingersonthefrets]

no, keep it with spoilers. it's nicer. also. cool. get me in on one.

[乳头的早餐谷物]

Ditto, I want in. I'll probably have to wake up early (-er than midday) to be in a good timezone for one but it might be worth it!

[23:11] <@Yahoozy> BOB-WEYE-BOB WOOD
[23:11] <@Skyline> Mmm.
[23:12] <@Yahoozy> JUST YO FAVORITE DEEJAY SAVEYA
[23:12] <@Skyline> The extended version of this better!
[23:12] <@Tanner> Oh '96.
[23:12] <@Yahoozy> -ducing
[23:12] <@Skyline> And here we go.
[23:12] * @Tanner is listening to Building Steam With a Grain of by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:12] <@Skyline> I found out how to play this on piano once. D:
[23:12] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: DJ Shadow - Building Steam With a Grain of Salt
[23:13] <@Skyline> It didn't sound nearly as graet.
[23:13] <@Skyline> great.
[23:13] <@Skyline> And all of the drum samples on this album are perfect.
[23:13] <@Tanner> Personally, in terms of 90s rap that's still relevant and entertaining, more a fan of Wu-Tang Clan.
[23:13] <@Tanner> Not that this isn't a terrific album.
[23:14] <@Skyline> This album is actually rather dark sounding.
[23:14] <@Yahoozy> OutKast, BRAH.
[23:14] <@Yahoozy> Oh, wait.
[23:14] <@Skyline> There's a lot of really cold stuff.
[23:14] <@Yahoozy> Mrs. Jackson was 2000.
[23:14] <@Yahoozy> MAKES CANCER TENACIOUS
[23:14] <@Skyline> It was good to listen to on an airplane in the middle of the night.
[23:15] <@Yahoozy> I had an incredible fucking dream about The Number Song.
[23:15] <@Skyline> That's... what was it about? o_o
[23:16] <@Yahoozy> Where I had a guitar and a drum set, and was playing the guitar with my hands and the drums with me feet, and everything was connected to effects processors and shit being operated by a friend of mine about ten feet away and congruent to me.
[23:16] <@Tanner> I guess OutKast is a 90s group but, yeah, they've only really come into their own since Stankonia.
[23:16] <@Yahoozy> It was a talent show or something.
[23:16] <@Yahoozy> It was awesome.
[23:16] <@Skyline> Huh.
[23:16] <@Skyline> Do you guys have any other DJ Shadow albums?
[23:17] <@Tanner> Nope.
[23:17] <@Yahoozy> Why would I?
[23:17] <@Skyline> I was wondering if the rest were any good.
[23:18] <@Tanner> You know, I may just prove myself a liar.
[23:18] <@Tanner> I really like Illmatic by Nas, too.
[23:19] <@Tanner> Nas is the opposite of OutKast as he's only become shittier as time's gone on.

[23:19] * @Tanner is listening to The Number Song by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:19] <@Skyline> Break it down, /baby/.
[23:19] <@Skyline> The Cut Chemist mix of this on the deluxe edition is fantastic.
[23:19] <@Tanner> I can see you having a psychey dream to this song, Yahoozy.
[23:20] <@Tanner> But then I can see you having strange dreams most nights.
[23:20] <@Skyline> I can't even imagine constructing this entire album from samples. It's a wonder it's so cohesive.
[23:20] <@Yahoozy> Skyline, judge my map while you're listening to this song.
[23:20] <@Yahoozy> I'd love to use samples.
[23:21] <@Yahoozy> I always thought hip-hop was the dadaism of music.
[23:21] <@Yahoozy> It's like a collage.
[23:21] <@Skyline> Heh, yeah.
[23:22] <@Skyline> I don't judge maps while listening to music. :(
[23:22] <@Tanner> Well, hold on there. There are plenty of non-hip-hop bands that use samples.
[23:23] <@Skyline> It affects my mood and my concentration far too much.
[23:23] <@Tanner> Nymphomatriach?
[23:23] <@Yahoozy> Yeah, hip-hop was the wrong term.
[23:23] <@Yahoozy> I could replace that with just "sampling".
[23:23] <@Skyline> Person Pitch uses samples excellently.
[23:23] <@Yahoozy> I love this track.
[23:23] <@Skyline> CHANGELINGNGNGNGGG
[23:24] <@Skyline> It was a former favorite.
[23:24] <@Skyline> But no longer.
[23:24] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: DJ Shadow - Changeling
[23:24] * @Tanner is listening to Changeling **Transmission 1 by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:24] <@Skyline> I feel like I'm ahead of you guys.
[23:24] <@Yahoozy> DJ Shadow is the Kurt Schwitters of music.
[23:24] <@Skyline> I'm already 45 seconds into the song.
[23:24] <@Yahoozy> You are.
[23:24] <@Skyline> I'll wait up next time, then.
[23:24] <@Yahoozy> I'm 45 now.
[23:24] <@Skyline> Meh, I'm somewhat synchronized now.
[23:25] <@Tanner> We're all fairly close.
[23:25] <@Skyline> I don't think the part where the beat is fragmented is done as well as it could be.
[23:25] <@Tanner> Also, I missed an "r" in that album title. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphomatriarch
[23:26] <@Yahoozy> Meh.
[23:26] <@Yahoozy> 2370894
[23:26] <@Yahoozy> o_O
[23:26] <@Yahoozy> 2370894 will always be the best Venetian Snares album.
[23:26] <@Yahoozy> I love the sample used in Fuck Toronto Jungle.
[23:26] <@Skyline> ...is that a molten telephone?
[23:27] <@Yahoozy> REACH INSIDE YOUR BRAIN PULLIN' YOUR FUCKIN' SOUL OUT AND THROW IT ON THE FLOOR
[23:27] <@Yahoozy> YOOOOOOOOOUR BARRRRRRAAAAIN
[23:27] <@Tanner> Yahoozy, you're shitting out your mouth but this is arguement for another time.
[23:28] <@Yahoozy> PPPPPPPPUUUUULLLLIN' YOURRR
[23:28] <@Yahoozy> FUUUUUUCKIN' SOOOOUL OOOOOOU-O-O-O-T-T-T-T-T-T
[23:28] <@Yahoozy> Why am I shitting out of my mouth?
[23:28] <@Skyline> I hate this part. ;-;
[23:28] <@Yahoozy> What's wrong with this part?
[23:28] <@Skyline> I dislike the fragmenting, I suppose.
[23:29] <@Tanner> This part doesn't really match with the rest of the song.
[23:29] <@Yahoozy> I love this part.
[23:29] <@Yahoozy> The one after that part.
[23:29] <@Skyline> Yeah.
[23:29] <@Skyline> Especially the way it fades out into the transmission.
[23:29] <@Tanner> Too jagged to be part of the song, not jagged enough to counterpoint.
[23:29] <@Yahoozy> Tanner, I want to know your thoughts on Merriweather.
[23:29] <@Yahoozy> Because I hate this goddamn hype.
[23:30] <@Tanner> It's a piece of shit and everyone knows it.
[23:30] <@Tanner> They know that AC are dead inside.
[23:30] <@Tanner> They just don't want to believe so they keep on listening.
[23:30] <@Tanner> It's a piece of shit and everyone knows it.
[23:30] <@Yahoozy> Brother Sport is a terrible track.
[23:30] <@Skyline> I think my life was just destroyed. ;_____--;
[23:31] <@Tanner> I had FL Studio open and just whacked my cock on the keyboard for seven minutes and the track that came out was better than Brother Sport.
[23:31] <@Yahoozy> Hahahahahahahaha.
[23:31] <@Skyline> I greatly enjoy Brother Sport.
[23:31] <@Tanner> Skyline also greatly enjoys getting whacked with my cock so that's no great suprise.
[23:32] <@Tanner> WE'RE ALL FRIENDS HERE
[23:32] <@Yahoozy> Love this one.
[23:32] * @Tanner is listening to What Does Your Soul Look Like by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:32] <@Tanner> :D
[23:32] <@Skyline> I think calling Merriweather Post Pavilion a piece of shit goes a bit far.
[23:32] <@Tanner> DJ Shadow does his best work at a slow groove.
[23:32] <@Yahoozy> Merriweather Post Pavilion gets worse as I listen to it.
[23:33] <@Skyline> It gets better for me. :(
[23:33] <@Tanner> Yahoozy, what did you think of Person Pitch?
[23:33] <@Yahoozy> It sounds like the B-Sides of some new-agey contemporary electronic group.
[23:33] <@Yahoozy> Person Pitch was overhyped.
[23:33] <@Skyline> I loved Person Pitch too. ;____---;
[23:33] <@Yahoozy> LIKE /BAAAAAAAAAAAAALLS/ OVERHYPED.
[23:34] <@Tanner> I thought it was barely a passable record.
[23:34] <@Tanner> I shit myself when I saw the Pitchfork list.
[23:34] <@Skyline> It's one of my favorite records ever.
[23:34] <@Tanner> I was at work and I literally shit my pants and had to go home.
[23:34] <@Tanner> It was awful.
[23:34] <@Skyline> I feel like this is where the "music is subjective" thing comes in.
[23:35] <@Tanner> I really like the deep, frog-like vocal sample here.
[23:35] <@Skyline> I wonder what the What Does Your Soul Look Like series sounds like in order.
[23:36] <@Skyline> This is the strangest track ever.
[23:37] <@Tanner> I hate this part of 90s rap albums.
[23:37] <@Yahoozy> Good track.
[23:37] <@Skyline> Stem / Long Stem is pretty nice, yeah. The voice sample towards the end is chilling.
[23:38] <@Tanner> S'not even really hip-hop here, I wouldn't say.
[23:38] <@Tanner> This is pure ambient eletronica.
[23:38] <@Skyline> Yeah.
[23:38] <@Skyline> I also happen to not like how the Organ Donor thing comes in halfway through this.
[23:39] <@Tanner> Way to spoil it, Skyline.
[23:39] <@Tanner> Some of us aren't there yet.
[23:39] <@Skyline> I am not either.
[23:39] <@Tanner> Way to spoil it, Skyline.
[23:40] <@Skyline> MM.
[23:40] <@Skyline> Err.
[23:40] <@Skyline> Mmm.
[23:40] <@Skyline> This part is great.
[23:40] <@Skyline> Well, this part is not.
[23:41] <@Tanner> I feel it's sort of necessary for the transition to the bells.
[23:41] <@Tanner> Which is, in turn, necessary for this part.
[23:41] <@Skyline> I love the bells.
[23:41] <@Skyline> And this part too.
[23:43] <@Skyline> Aaaaaand floaty droney section.
[23:43] <@Yahoozy> This is probably the best song.
[23:43] <@Tanner> I agree, Yahoozy.
[23:44] <@Tanner> It might just be a bias towards electronica rather than hip-hop but, still.
[23:44] <@Skyline> My personal favorite is Mutual Slump.
[23:44] <@Yahoozy> HI I'M MYRRHMAN MY FAVORITE TRACK IS MUTUAL SLUMP
[23:44] <@Tanner> Hehehe.
[23:44] <@Skyline> He likes that one too?
[23:45] <@Tanner> I agree, Yahoozy.
[23:45] <@Skyline> There is a lot of foreshadowing on this album.
[23:45] <@Tanner> I don't like it when foreshadowing is too thinly veiled.
[23:46] <@Tanner> ... but not as much as you're going to.
[23:46] <@Skyline> No, I agree with you on this one.
[23:46] <@Skyline> YES
[23:46] <@Skyline> YSE
[23:46] <@Skyline> YES
[23:46] <@Skyline> YSE
[23:46] <@Yahoozy> This is a good track.
[23:46] * @Tanner is listening to Mutual Slump by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:46] <@Skyline> Perfect environment.
[23:46] <@Yahoozy> The sample at the end of the last track is from Twin Peaks.
[23:47] <@Skyline> Which one?
[23:47] <@Tanner> I maintain that DJ Shadown operates best at a slow groove.
[23:47] <@Tanner> This is almost too frenetic for him.
[23:47] <@Skyline> The stops with the sampled vocals are perfect.
[23:47] <@Yahoozy> CAME TO AMERICA
[23:47] <@Yahoozy> SAW XANADU
[23:47] <@Yahoozy> AND THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO DO
[23:47] <@Yahoozy> ROLLERSKATE
[23:48] <@Tanner> In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree.
[23:48] <@Tanner> MOAR CITIZEN KANE SAMPLEZ PLZ
[23:49] <@Skyline> Oh, that laugh is good.
[23:49] <@Skyline> And then the wailing saxophone.
[23:49] <@Skyline> This is fucking excellent.
[23:50] <@Skyline> And then we move on into the hideously underdone Organ Donor!
[23:50] <@Tanner> I already miss the slow groove.
[23:50] * @Tanner is listening to Organ Donor by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:50] <@Skyline> The extended version of this song is much much better.
[23:50] <@Tanner> The soul sample is welcome.
[23:51] <@Skyline> Does he say "playing that fucking solo"?
[23:52] <@Tanner> Like it.
[23:52] <@Tanner> Like it a lot.
[23:52] <@Tanner> This part is wild awesome.
[23:52] <@Yahoozy> I love this track.
[23:52] <@Skyline> This is -very- 90's.
[23:52] <@Tanner> Aw, it's over so fast!
[23:52] <@Tanner> Yay! Disco!
[23:52] <@Yahoozy> IT'S THA MONEY
[23:52] * @Tanner is listening to Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96 by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:53] <@Skyline> You're slow, Tanner.
[23:53] <@Skyline> And this song is great too.
[23:53] * @Tanner is listening to Midnight In A Perfect World by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:53] <@Yahoozy> This one's very good.
[23:53] <@Skyline> Except I think the ending ruins it.
[23:53] <@Yahoozy> AAAAAAAWHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[23:53] <@Tanner> I was just slow to announce it, Skyline.
[23:53] <@Skyline> Oh. :)
[23:53] <@Tanner> Amen break, by the way.
[23:54] <@Skyline> Anyway, these drums are very close to being an orgasm.
[23:54] <@Tanner> What Does Your Soul Look Like
[23:54] <@Tanner> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break
[23:54] <@Tanner> All throught this song.
[23:54] <@Tanner> Amen break, amen break, amen break.
[23:54] <@Skyline> Where does that come in?
[23:54] <@Skyline> This is it?
[23:54] <@Tanner> This is it, man.
[23:55] <@Skyline> Wow.
[23:55] <@Tanner> Permeates the whole thing.
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHT
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHT
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHT
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHT
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHT
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHT
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHT
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHT
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHTU
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHTU
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHTU
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHTU
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> MIDNIGHTU
[23:55] <@Yahoozy> NOWANAWONWOWNWONWOWNWNWOWNW
[23:56] <@Tanner> Honestly, this track sort of feels like filler.
[23:56] <@Skyline> Pff.
[23:56] <@Tanner> It's a solid track but there's no innovation.
[23:56] <@Yahoozy> Nah, I like it.
[23:56] <@Skyline> I don't understand your music at all, Tanner.
[23:56] <@Skyline> musical taste, that is.
[23:56] <@Yahoozy> It's the slowest track on the album.
[23:57] <@Yahoozy> The drums, that is.
[23:57] <@Skyline> Damn, man, we should have listened to this song three minutes later.
[23:57] <@Tanner> It's solid. It's really well done. But you'd hear the same thing on 1000 other albums.
[23:57] <@Skyline> Well, an hour and three minutes for you, I guess.
[23:58] * @Tanner is listening to Napalm Brain/Scatter Brain by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[23:58] <@Yahoozy> Good track.
[23:58] <@Tanner> Dr. Deathtune's Delicious Elixirs.
[23:59] <@Yahoozy> The segue from the sample into the bassline is perfect.
[23:59] <@Yahoozy> I love it.
[23:59] <@Tanner> Agreed.
[23:59] <@Skyline> This song is slow too.
[00:00] <@Skyline> If you count it in two, I suppose.
[00:00] <@Skyline> Which is the way I do.
[00:00] <@Yahoozy> I love this part.
[00:01] <@Tanner> He breaks out a nice guitar riff here.
[00:01] <@Tanner> S'good stuff.
[00:01] <@Tanner> You can sort of see where Justin Timberlake's Lovestoned came from.
[00:02] <@Skyline> Percussion break!
[00:03] <@Yahoozy> Oh, oh.
[00:03] <@Tanner> Awesome.
[00:03] <@Yahoozy> There's a picture and caption for a Justin Timberlake album Wiki that is amazing.
[00:03] <@Tanner> Link?
[00:03] <@Yahoozy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FutureSex/LoveSounds
[00:03] <@Yahoozy> "Timberlake participating in golf while in musical hiatus."
[00:04] <@Yahoozy> Oh, I love this part.
[00:04] <@Skyline> I as well.
[00:04] <@Tanner> This is really the only time during this album that I've been satisfied that DJ Shadow pulled of a fast break.
[00:05] <@Skyline> This really surrounds you.
[00:05] <@Yahoozy> It's because of that crescendo, which was seamless.
[00:05] <@Yahoozy> And subtle.
[00:05] <@Yahoozy> I like that.
[00:05] <@Skyline> And then the guitar riff returns.
[00:05] <@Skyline> Perfect.
[00:05] <@Tanner> Really well done.
[00:06] <@Yahoozy> Any songs with a "/" in the title from this album are the best songs.
[00:06] <@Skyline> Heh.
[00:07] <@Tanner> He does seem to put special care into his nine minuters.
[00:07] <@Yahoozy> The next track isn't very exciting, but it's still too good.
[00:07] <@Yahoozy> I don't think it needs any more than what it has.
[00:07] <@Skyline> I don't really like the vocal sample.
[00:07] <@Yahoozy> I do.
[00:08] <@Skyline> The saxophone is quite nice.
[00:08] <@Yahoozy> AND WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SHOULD WE
[00:08] <@Tanner> This saxophone makes me want to have so much sex.
[00:08] <@Yahoozy> WANT TO GOOOO BACK WHERE WE WEEEEEEEEEEEERE HOW MANY YEEEEEEEEEARS AGO
[00:09] <@Tanner> I am, honestly, getting so turned on by this saxophone.
[00:09] <@Tanner> I wish it wasn't gone.
[00:09] <@Skyline> WELL IT'S BACK
[00:10] <@Tanner> My loins shiver in anticipation of the return of the sax.
[00:10] <@Tanner> :D
[00:10] <@Tanner> THAR SHE BLOWS
[00:10] <@Yahoozy> This song makes me think of two cartoonishly fat people going at it while thrusting in the same method.
[00:10] <@Skyline> I... I didn't see that at all, actually.
[00:10] <@Tanner> I can see that.
[00:10] <@Skyline> DAMN IT STOP DISAGREEING WITH ME
[00:11] <@Tanner> :D
[00:11] <@Skyline> Oh, by the way.
[00:11] <@Skyline> My sister doesn't like In the Aeroplane Over the Sea because she's offended by it. She can't imagine that anyone would sing about things that they do and it offends her.
[00:11] <@Yahoozy> This song makes me think of a cartoonishly fat Stevie Wonder playing a saxophone while doing it doggy-style to an equally cartoonishly fat white chick.
[00:12] <@Yahoozy> Is that paraphrased?
[00:12] <@Yahoozy> I hope it isn't.
[00:12] <@Tanner> I'm coming to wherever it is that Phillistines live these days and I'm putting my foot through your sister's ovaries, Skyline.
[00:12] <@Skyline> Don't worry. It is.
[00:12] <@Skyline> But it's basically what she said.
[00:13] <@Tanner> Where Phillistines live these days being the United States of America.
[00:13] <@Skyline> I see.
[00:13] <@Skyline> Last song. ;_:
[00:13] <@Skyline> And it's not even really a song. ;_:
[00:14] <@Yahoozy> They're connected on my version.
[00:14] <@Tanner> Same here.
[00:14] <@Skyline> Huh.
[00:14] <@Skyline> It's called Transmission 3 for me.
[00:14] * @Tanner is listening to What Does Your Soul Look Like? by DJ Shadow (Endtroducing...).
[00:14] <@Skyline> You are? o_O
[00:14] <@Tanner> What Does Your Soul Look Like? (Part 1 - Blue Sky Revisit) **Transmission 3
[00:15] <@Tanner> Sorry, Amip cuts the song title off.
[00:15] <@Skyline> Oh.
[00:15] <@Tanner> Done.
[00:15] <@Yahoozy> Good stuff, fellas.
[00:15] <@Skyline> For sure.

[Tanner]

We're doing Red Album by Baroness next. Or Blood Mountain by Mastodon. Or Amputechture by The Mars Volta. We need to do something that has some rock to it.

[SlappyMcGee]

I'm going to listen to Weezer's Red Album and contribute to this blog.

[Borealis]

We're doing Red Album by Baroness next. Or Blood Mountain by Mastodon. Or Amputechture by The Mars Volta. We need to do something that has some rock to it.

I'd be happy to do Blood Mountain with you guys.

[Tanner]

We're doing Red Album by Baroness next. Or Blood Mountain by Mastodon. Or Amputechture by The Mars Volta. We need to do something that has some rock to it.

I'd be happy to do Blood Mountain with you guys.

That clinches it. Blood Mountain this Saturday sometime between 8:00PM EST and 12:00PM EST, whenever we have the most people available.

[Tanner]

Yahoozy and I did a mini-listen. Just a reminder: if you'd like to participate this Saturday, it'll be around 8:00PM EST to 12:00PM EST and we'll be listening to Blood Mountain by Mastodon. Definitely pick it up if you want in. Definitely pick it up anyway.

Yank Crime - Drive Like Jehu

<Yahoozy> Ready, Tanner.
<Yahoozy> Count it down.
<Tanner> 5
<Tanner> 4
<Tanner> 3
<Tanner> 2
<Tanner> 1
<Tanner> GO
Tanner is listening to Here Come the Rome Plows by Drive Like Jehu (Yank Crime).
Yahoozy is now listening to: Drive Like Jehu - Here Come the Rome Plows
<Yahoozy> This is my favorite track, by the way.
<Tanner> Have you ever listened to The Shape of Punk to Come, Yahoozy?
<Yahoozy> I felt that question was going to be asked soon.
<Yahoozy> I have a bit.
<Tanner> Didn't like it?
<Yahoozy> YANK CRIME WAS FIRST
<Yahoozy> I don't remember.
<Yahoozy> I should get it again.
<Tanner> I didn't know you listened to post-hardcore at all.
<Tanner> I... I find that very attractive.
<Yahoozy> You do?
Yahoozy twirls his hair and bites his lip.
<Tanner> Aha. Weird.
<Yahoozy> It's over. ;-;
Yahoozy is now listening to: Drive Like Jehu - Do You Compute
<Yahoozy> All of the longer songs are great.
<Yahoozy> There is no Tanner input.
<Yahoozy> This listening can't be entirely upon my shoulders.
<Tanner> Just let me listen to it.
<Tanner> Goddamn.
<Yahoozy> Fine, fine.
<Tanner> I like this part.
<Tanner> Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide.
<Yahoozy> That's my favorite part, too.
<Yahoozy> NOBODY
<Yahoozy> GIVES A FUCK
<Yahoozy> WHAT YOU DON'T DO WITH YOUR LIFE
<Yahoozy> Is that a Transmet signature?
<Tanner> Yeah. :D
<Yahoozy> This track is more Hot Snakes than Drive Like Jehu, I think.
Yahoozy is now listening to: Drive Like Jehu - Golden Brown
<Tanner> Are the other bands fronted by Froberg as good?
<Tanner> Because I totally dig him.
<Yahoozy> Yeah.
<Yahoozy> Get Audit in Progress by Hot Snakes.
<Yahoozy> It's total post punk awesomeness.
<Yahoozy> Sultans are okay.
<Yahoozy> And I haven't listened to that new thing.
<Yahoozy> The Night Marchers.
<Yahoozy> But that's John Reis.
<Tanner> Know who came before Drive Like Jehu? Moss Icon and Rites of Spring.
<Yahoozy> LUAU
<Yahoozy> LUAU
<Yahoozy> LUAU
<Yahoozy> LUAU
Tanner is listening to Luau by Drive Like Jehu (Yank Crime).
<Yahoozy> And Embrace.
<Tanner> And Fugazzi! Motherfuckin' Fugazzi!
<Yahoozy> ONE Z YOU FAGGOT
<Yahoozy> I was never a Fugazi fan.
<Yahoozy> I was a Hüsker Dü fan.
<Tanner> Minor Threat?
<Yahoozy> I only have half of Out of Step.
<Tanner> I mean, when it comes down to some of these, it's no longer post-hardcore.
<Tanner> It's just too early to be post.
<Yahoozy> Do you have Scratch Acid?
<Yahoozy> I love this part.
<Tanner> No, I don't.
<Tanner> This is a good part.
<Yahoozy> Listen to this when we're done.
<Yahoozy> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imwAdN53H40
<Tanne> Heroin's a big name.
<Tanner> And Mohinder.
<Tanner> This is turning into a post-hardcore history lesson.
Tanner makes a flow chart.
<Yahoozy> You could call Dinosaur Jr. post-hardcore.
<Yahoozy> And we're forgetting Meat Puppets and Minutemen.
<Yahoozy> OH
<Yahoozy> OH SHIT
<Yahoozy> Treason by Naked Raygun.
<Yahoozy> My favorite post-hardcore song from the 80s.
<Tanner> Minor Threat -> Rites of Spring (Ignition, Gray Matter, Dag Nasty, Fugazi, Jawbreaker, Lifetime, Hot Water Music, Chamberlain, Split Lip)
<Yahoozy> Listen to that when we're done, too.
<Yahoozy> I love the noisy parts.
<Tanner> People tend to think that Animal Collective invented noise.
<Yahoozy> Heh.
<Yahoozy> Unwound is a good band.
<Yahoozy> Corpse Pose is an awesome track.
<Tanner> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Noises
<Tanner> Check that out, Yahoozy.
<Tanner> There's a fucking history lesson.
<Tanner> Where's Skyline?
<Yahoozy> And along came John Cage.
<Tanner> I want to call him a bitch.
Tanner is listening to Super Unison by Drive Like Jehu (Yank Crime).
<Tanner> Rites of Spring -> Moss Icon (Hoover, Policy of 3, Julia, Still Life, Drive Like Jehu)
<Yahoozy> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
<Tanner> Julia was really good.
<Yahoozy> I love the interlude in this song.
<Tanner> Moss Icon -> Heroin (Angel Hair, Mohinder, Assfactor 4)
<Yahoozy> I'm annoyed that Slappy thinks that Lightning Bolt is the worst noise rock band he's ever heard.
<Tanner> Moss Icon -> Christie Front Drive (Sunny Day Real Estate, Boy's Life, Mineral, Cap'n Jazz)
<Tanner> And then it all sort of goes downhill from that point.
<Yahoozy> I used to be a Sunny Day Real Estate dude.
<Yahoozy> Hah, Mineral.
<Yahoozy> SDRE for poor people.
<Yahoozy> MAYBE I'VE BEEN COLD
<Yahoozy> TO LET THAT MAAAN
<Tanner> Heroin inspired stuff like Saetia and Autumn to Ashes.
<Yahoozy> INSIDE YOUR HOME
<Yahoozy> I love this part.
<Tanner> This is very different from anything else on the album.
<Yahoozy> In none of those threads was Big Black mentioned.
<Yahoozy> I have the Rapeman album.
<Yahoozy> It's good.
<Tanner> I didn't mention Indian Summer either.
<Yahoozy> I like the album art.
<Tanner> REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREREREREREREREREREREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
<Yahoozy> We're halfway through the album.
<Yahoozy> Thoughts?
<Yahoozy> Thoughts?
<Yahoozy> YEAH HUMAN HEAD
<Yahoozy> YEAH HUMAN HEAD
<Yahoozy> YEAH HUMAN HEAD
<Yahoozy> YEAH HUMAN HEAD
<Tanner> I really like it.
<Yahoozy> This is actually Hand Over Fist.
<Yahoozy> It's tagged incorrectly on WinAMP.
<Yahoozy> I think I fixed it in iTunes, though.
<Yahoozy> Wait.
<Yahoozy> Are you on Sinews?
Tanner is listening to Sinews by Drive Like Jehu (Yank Crime).
<Tanner> Yer.
<Yahoozy> Feck.
<Yahoozy> Where are you?
<Tanner> 2:15
<Yahoozy> This is a good part.
<Tanner> Wooo!
<Tanner> Man, he is raping that guitar.
<Yahoozy> He is.
<Yahoozy> That guitar's vag is FDA certified ground beef at this point.
<Tanner> The guitar will never walk again.
<Tanner> The guitar will have never walked up until this point, it is being raped so hard.
<Yahoozy> This track is so goddamn good.
Tanner is listening to Bullet Train to Vegas by Drive Like Jehu (Yank Crime).
<Yahoozy> Does it start with a cough?
<Yahoozy> This track?
<Yahoozy> Because it's Hand Over Fist if it did.
<Tanner> I can't remember, man.
<Yahoozy> Is the track 4:24?
<Yahoozy> I CAN SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
<Yahoozy> WITH A LISP
<Yahoozy> uuuh
<Yahoozy> MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
<Tanner> Yeah. 4:24
<Yahoozy> It's tagged wrong for both of us.
<Yahoozy> At least that means we're on the same track.
<Yahoozy> Bullet Train to Vegas isn't my favorite.
<Tanner> You can sort of tell Froberg threw this in because he wanted to sing it.
<Tanner> He sings it well but it's poor musically.
<Yahoozy> Mhm.
<Yahoozy> It's a bonus track.
<Yahoozy> For the re-release.
<Tanner> Really? I wonder why it doesn't say that on Wikipedia.
<Tanner> Oh wait...
<Tanner> It does.
<Yahoozy> It does.
<Yahoozy> Hah.
Yahoozy is now listening to: Drive Like Jehu - Sinews [Original Version]
<Tanner> So much like Moss Icon.
<Yahoozy> I wouldn't say that's a bad thing.
<Yahoozy> I like this song more than Moss Icon.
<Tanner> How can two bands be so similar and yet so different.
<Tanner> They were both trying to do different things with their music.
<Tanner> They started in the same place and ended up on different continents.
<Tanner> Wooo!
<Tanner> Good stuff.

Me and Lenny did a short listen of Ulver's "Svidd neger" OST. Silent credit due to Tanner also.

Klick hier

<Tanner>: ALRIGHT LET'S DO IT.
<Lenny>: Countdown? :D
<Tanner>: Do the honours, Lenny.
<Lenny>: Oh. Uhh...
<Borealis>: From 908.
<Lenny>: Right.
<Lenny>: 908...
<Lenny>: 907...
<Lenny>: 906...
<Lenny>: This is going to hurt my fingers.
<Lenny>: 905...
<Borealis>: :p
<Lenny>: ...
<Lenny>: 5...
<Lenny>: I just skipped like.. 900.
<Lenny>: 4...
<Lenny>: 3...
<Lenny>: 2...
<Lenny>: 1...
<Lenny>: Gooo
* Borealis np: Ulver "Preface"
* Tanner is listening to Preface by Ulver (Svidd Neger).
<Lenny>: Oh. Mine displays in #music.
<Lenny>: Hold on.
<Borealis>: That doesn't matter.
<Lenny>: Hmm, yeah, guess not.
<Lenny>: Bugger to change anyway.
<Borealis>: Interesting way to open the album up.
<Borealis>: It's a swell of dynamic range.
* Lenny is listening to: Ante Andante - Ulver - Svidd Neger [00:53m / 194kbps / 44kHz]* Borealis np: Ulver "Ante Andante"
<Lenny>: mp3
<Lenny>: ..
* Lenny is listening to: Ante Andante - Ulver - Svidd Neger [00:53m / 194kbps / 44kHz]
<Lenny>: There we go.
<Lenny>: Oh. Oops. Oh well. Yeah, it was quite... ominous, sorta.
* Lenny is listening to: Comedown - Ulver - Svidd Neger [02:19m / 192kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Comedown"
<Borealis>: The first real piece of the album.
<Borealis>: Plays around with the delays and echoes alot.
<Lenny>: I like the echo.
<Lenny>: It's quite soft, which is interesting.
<Lenny>: If this is like a scary-ish movie, it would only work if there's a loud point too somewhere.
<Lenny>: I like the piano melody.
* Lenny is listening to: Rock Massif Pt. 1 - Ulver - Svidd Neger [01:41m / 193kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Rock Massif Pt. 1"
<Lenny>: Ah. Here we go.
* Tanner is listening to Rock Massif Pt. 1 by Ulver (Svidd Neger).
<Lenny>: What part of the film is this in? Because it sounds like its's pretty tense. Maybe a chase scene...
<Borealis>: It is a chase scene.
<Borealis>: Where the boy is chased out of the village.
<Lenny>: Ah. Cool guessing. :D
<Lenny>: Yeah, this soft bit works well for that.
* Lenny is listening to: Surface - Ulver - Svidd Neger [03:17m / 192kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Surface"
<Borealis>: And blends well into this.
<Lenny>: It does. Very well.
<Lenny>: I was sur[rised that a new track came up.
<Borealis>: This has segues in spades.
<Lenny>: Spades?
<Borealis>: Different feel to this. Somewhat triumphant.
<Lenny>: Ah.
<Lenny>: This melody works really well with the accompaniment.
<Borealis>: The saxophone part is lovely.
<Borealis>: Drift into jazz here.
<Lenny>: Oh, wow. Wonderful transition. Nice way to bring in the drums.
* Lenny is listening to: Somnam - Ulver - Svidd Neger [02:41m / 192kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Somnam"
<Lenny>: I've gotta say, the strings are really well used in all of these pieces.
<Borealis>: This piece is very tense.
<Borealis>: As well as sombre.
<Lenny>: It's kinda tense. Very sombre though.
<Lenny>: Oh, actually, that sounds sort of tensed it up.
* Lenny is listening to: Wild Cat - Ulver - Svidd Neger [02:32m / 192kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Wild Cat"
<Lenny>: Yeah! They bring back the piano motif. Nice!
<Borealis>: Yes.
<Borealis>: I love the way it is built upon.
<Lenny>: Those first few notes... A,B,C or whatever, remind me of the Terminator theme.
<Lenny>: Creepy screaming. Giving birth or something?
<Lenny>: Like, seriously. Sounds like a flashback sort of theme.
<Borealis>: You're right again.
<Lenny>: In which case this music is giving the correct impressions.
<Borealis>: Although also crossfaded with scenes of the main character being tortured.
<Lenny>: Ah. I wouldn't have guessed torture.
<Borealis>: You can see how that sound could work in both contexts.
<Borealis>: Bringing it back down again though.
<Lenny>: Good trasnition, though I think the trumpet melody was a tad out of place.
* Lenny is listening to: Rock Massif Pt. 2 - Ulver - Svidd Neger [02:05m / 193kbps / 44kHz]
<Lenny>: And yeah, but that was a bit of a 'girly' scream
* Borealis np: Ulver "Rock Massif Pt. 2"
<Lenny>: Aha. Nice. IT leads to this nicely.
<Borealis>: The muted horns work well here.
<Lenny>: They do.
<Lenny>: Incidentally, it's quite hard to play muted imstruments. You need to put a lot more air through to get the same sounds and pitches.
<Lenny>: There's a cool effect in a piece... I forget the name, but it had muted french horns sliding up through about three octaves of harmonics really quickly. It was meant to resemble elephants, and did so really well.
* Lenny is listening to: Poltermagda - Ulver - Svidd Neger [00:28m / 196kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Poltermagda"
<Borealis>: /me np: Ulver "Mummy"
<Lenny>: Nice sF.
* Lenny is listening to: Mummy - Ulver - Svidd Neger [01:02m / 194kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Mummy"
<Borealis>: Yes, it is.
<Lenny>: Oh, unrelated, do you know what rF means?
<Lenny>: It was in an orchestral piece that we're playing, and I have no clue.
<Borealis>: That's from one of the more surreal, humourous scenes.
<Borealis>: Not sure.
* Lenny is listening to: Burn The Bitch - Ulver - Svidd Neger [00:52m / 194kbps / 44kHz]
<Lenny>: Nicely background bleeping.
<Lenny>: .. *Nice
* Borealis np: Ulver "Burn The Bitch"
<Borealis>: Yeah, this is one of the weirder ones.
<Lenny>: It is. But it's interesting.
* Lenny is listening to: Sick Soliloquy - Ulver - Svidd Neger [00:21m / 198kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Sick Soliloquy"
<Lenny>: Oh, wow.
<Lenny>: Sounds like Eiturlyf.
<Borealis>: Heh, Norwegian.
<Lenny>: He's Icelandic, so...
* Lenny is listening to: Waltz Of King Karl - Ulver - Svidd Neger [03:17m / 192kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Waltz of King Karl"
<Lenny>: Actually, yeah. We went to Norway for a bit and it sounds the same.
<Lenny>: Sounds sad.
<Borealis>: I like this track alot.
<Lenny>: It's very well done.
<Lenny>: I think the strings are a bit too loud.
<Lenny>: Except bass and melody.
<Lenny>: There we go.
<Borealis>: An interesting thing is that during the orchestral pieces the orchestra can be seen in the background.
<Lenny>: Wow. Hawian isn't where I thought this would go.
<Lenny>: Are they actually playing the music at the time?
<Borealis>: Yeah.
<Lenny>: That's cool.
<Borealis>: But sometimes they're half-hidden behind a house.
<Borealis>: Or something.
<Lenny>: I don't know why you'd have an orchestra at your house.
<Lenny>: It'd be fun though.
<Borealis>: I didn't expect that accordian bit there.
<Lenny>: It sounds a bit out of place at first, yeah.
<Lenny>: Oh, nice. Reminds me of my 'scary music' in conveance.
<Lenny>: *Conveyance. just the bass part of this.
* Lenny is listening to: Sadface - Ulver - Svidd Neger [02:43m / 192kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Sadface"
<Borealis>: More motif!
<Borealis>: They like their pizzicato strings.
<Lenny>: They sure do.
<Lenny>: Wow, weird way to bring in percussion.
<Lenny>: That loud sound is cool.
<Borealis>: Odd percussion as well.
<Borealis>: Filtered out the low end completely.
<Lenny>: It is. Maybe those wheel parts for cars?
<Lenny>: Sounds like that
<Lenny>: I thinkt he bass started too loud.
<Lenny>: But the melody is neat.
* Lenny is listening to: Fuck Fast - Ulver - Svidd Neger [00:20m / 198kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Fuck Fast"
<Lenny>: Nice tremelo.
* Lenny is listening to: Wheel Of Conclusion - Ulver - Svidd Neger [06:26m / 192kbps / 44kHz]
* Borealis np: Ulver "Wheel of Conclusion"
<Borealis>: You can tell this is the final scene.
<Lenny>: Yeah
<Lenny>: Tense.
<Borealis>: Apart from the title giving you a hint as well.
<Lenny>: What hint?
<Lenny>: :D
<Lenny>: I like what the strings are playing./
<Borealis>: But then again, there is no beginning or end on a wheel is there?
<Borealis>: It's a good title.
<Lenny>: It's a very complete title.
<Lenny>: Like the piece sort of is.
<Borealis>: I love the percussion here.
<Lenny>: That was cool.
<Lenny>: Syncopation here is good.
<Lenny>: Feels like it's building to something.
<Borealis>: Definitely.
<Lenny>: Oh, nice return.
<Borealis>: Doesn't break the flow either.
<Lenny>: Not at all. It's well done.
<Lenny>: Awww... nice ending.
<Borealis>: It's a shame it's short, really.
<Lenny>: Yeah. I could easily listen to another hour of that.
<Tanner>: I'm glad I could contribute?
<Borealis>: Hahaha, quite.
<Tanner>: Enjoyable album, though.
<Lenny>: It was a good album.
<Tanner>: I dig swells.
<Borealis>: Starring, in a silent role, Tanner Rogalski

[18:51] <@Yahoozy> kfdjgk
[18:51] <@Skyline> I have to make sure my speakers are working.
[18:51] <@Tanner> That's like something a gay would say.
[18:51] <@Skyline> Okay, all set!
[18:51] <@Tanner> If a gay had to make certain that their speakers were working.
[18:52] <@Tanner> They would say something to that effect.
[18:52] <@Skyline> What would you say, Tanner?

[18:52] <@lord_day> Skyline I am your protector of truth and justice and rainbowsssssss
[18:52] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: Dungen - Panda
[18:52] <@Yahoozy> I love this song.
[18:52] <@Skyline> This sounds great even so far!
[18:52] <@Yahoozy> It's folky.
[18:52] <@Yahoozy> But not contrived folky.
[18:52] <@Skyline> Wow.
[18:52] <@Skyline> This is just getting better and better.
[18:52] <@Tanner> This is Skyline's first time, Yahoozy.
[18:52] <@Tanner> We're taking Dunginity.
[18:53] <@Yahoozy> Hahahahahaha.
[18:53] <@Skyline> I feel like I'm on a highway in Missouri!
[18:53] <@Skyline> In a van full of Swedes.
[18:53] <@Tanner> Nothing can ever be wrong ever while listening to this album.
[18:53] <@Tanner> It's so fucking happy.
[18:53] <@Skyline> This is a mix of a lot of styles.
[18:53] <@Yahoozy> MAMA
[18:53] <@Yahoozy> PAPA
[18:53] <@Tanner> Skyline, Ta Det Lugnt translates to Take It Easy.
[18:54] <@Yahoozy> BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE
[18:54] <@Tanner> :D
[18:54] <@Skyline> I am aware!
[18:54] <@Skyline> This is really happy.
[18:54] <@Skyline> I feel really happy!
[18:55] <@Tanner> Tambourine!
[18:55] <@Skyline> This sounds like something Borealis would listen to.
[18:56] <@Yahoozy> We could be listening to anything, and you could say the same thing.
[18:56] <@Tanner> That's true.
[18:56] <@Skyline> I suppose.

[18:56] <@Skyline> Hahah.
[18:57] <@Yahoozy> Holy goddamn shit.
[18:57] <@Skyline> That was quite the ending.
[18:57] <@Yahoozy> <Skyline> This sounds like something Borealis would listen to.
[18:57] <@Yahoozy> <Yahoozy> We could be listening to anything, and you could say the same thing.
[18:57] <@Yahoozy> <Tanner> That's true.

[18:57] <@Yahoozy> <lord_day> XD
[18:57] * @Tanner is listening to Gjort bort sig by Dungen (Ta Det Lugnt).
[18:57] <@Yahoozy> I still haven't listened to this entire album.
[18:57] <@Skyline> This is even happier!
[18:57] <@Skyline> Is the whole album this happy?
[18:57] <@Tanner> It's so happy.
[18:57] <Borealis> This is something Borealis listens to.
[18:58] <Borealis> And also, hey.
[18:58] <@Skyline> Borealis, do you have this available? You should join us on our listen quest.
[18:59] <Borealis> Curiously, no, I don't.
[18:59] <Borealis> I lent the CD to Jon.
[18:59] <@Skyline> Oh. :(
[19:00] <@Tanner> This album makes me not want to critique it.
[19:00] <@Tanner> I just want to get stoned right now.[19:00] <@Skyline> Hahahah.
[19:00] <@Skyline> It's a sonic wonderland! Jumping through wheat fields bordered by pines in the summer breeze!
[19:01] * @Tanner is listening to Festival by Dungen (Ta Det Lugnt).
[19:01] <@Skyline> What? Already?
[19:01] <@Tanner> Yeah?
[19:01] <@Skyline> I have another minute.
[19:01] <@Tanner> Huh?
[19:01] <@Skyline> How long is your second song?
[19:01] <@Tanner> Gjort bort sig is only 3:48.
[19:02] <@Skyline> Mine is 5:11.
[19:02] <@Yahoozy> So is mine.
[19:02] <@Tanner> It should be.
[19:02] <@Tanner> Mine is wrong.
[19:02] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: Dungen - Festival
[19:02] <@Yahoozy> Restart Festival, Tanner.
[19:02] <@Skyline> Haha. Festeevaal!
[19:02] <@Yahoozy> Actually, 40 seconds.
[19:03] <@Skyline> This sounds so much like generic "alternative" rock but there's something desirable about it.
[19:03] <@Yahoozy> ...
[19:03] <@Yahoozy> It does not!
[19:04] <@Yahoozy> Borealis.
[19:04] <@Yahoozy> What's with getting rid of all of your listens on Last.fm?
[19:04] <@Skyline> Maybe I only think that because I've been listening to At the Mountains of Madness for the past day.
[19:05] <@Sockmonkey> Last.fm sucks. It never finds my iPod scrobbles.
[19:05] <@Tanner> Man, everything is wrong with my copy of this album.
[19:05] <@Tanner> I can't even participate anymore, guys.
[19:05] <@Tanner> This is fucked.
[19:05] <Borealis> Hooz. I...don't know.
[19:05] <@Skyline> It seems like this band has really long endings.
[19:05] <Borealis> I'm guessing it's something wrong with the site.
[19:05] <@Skyline> Interesting pianos!
[19:06] * Sockmonkey sets mode: +o Borealis
[19:06] <@Skyline> Tanner, the new song just started.
[19:06] <@Tanner> All of my times are off.
[19:06] <@Tanner> It's not just mistagged, this shit is off.
[19:06] <@Skyline> :/
[19:06] <@Tanner> I'll have to figure it out later.
[19:06] <@Skyline> You should still try to follow with us.
[19:07] <@Skyline> Man. This is such a wonderful album.
[19:07] <@Yahoozy> The next song is the best one.
[19:08] <@Yahoozy> And of course, we have to get past the longest track on the album before we get there. >|
[19:08] <@Skyline> This one is nice too, though!
[19:09] <@Yahoozy> Once you hear the next song, you'll understand my stance.
[19:09] <@Skyline> Hahah, alright.
[19:10] <@Skyline> Tanner, you'd better still be listening.
[19:11] <@Skyline> Whistling!
[19:11] <@Skyline> More changes!
[19:12] <@Skyline> This reminds me of Beyond, somehow.
[19:14] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: Dungen - Ta Det Lungt
[19:14] <@Yahoozy> BEST.
[19:14] <@Yahoozy> Oh, whoops.
[19:15] <@Skyline> You think this is the best?
[19:15] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt
[19:15] <@Skyline> Weren't you correct the first time?
[19:15] <@Yahoozy> TA DET LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGNT
[19:15] <@Yahoozy> Nuh-uh.
[19:15] <@Skyline> Hm.
[19:15] <@Skyline> Mine is incorrectly labeled.
[19:15] <@Skyline> The whole album is!
[19:16] <@Skyline> Last FM is going to be mad at me.
[19:16] * @Borealis np: Dungen "Ta det Lugnt"
[19:16] <@Borealis> Got it guys.
[19:16] <@Skyline> :D
[19:16] <@Borealis> This is an epic song, as well.
[19:16] <@Yahoozy> TA DET LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGNT
[19:16] <@Skyline> We're at about 2:15.
[19:16] <@Sockmonkey> Skyline, last.fm changes minor mistakes. :D
[19:17] <@Skyline> This is a wonderful song.
[19:17] <@Borealis> It also corrects the mistakes now.
[19:18] <@Skyline> Shit. That's some feedback.
[19:18] <@Skyline> WHAT IS HAPPENING
[19:19] <@Yahoozy> Swedish ragtime!
[19:19] <@Yahoozy> And now some jazz.
[19:19] <@Skyline> Saxophone. Shit
[19:19] <@Borealis> It is!
[19:19] <@Skyline> This is fantastic.
[19:19] <@Borealis> I learned to play this! I remember now.
[19:19] * @Gforce ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[19:20] <@Borealis> Brilliant stuff.
[19:20] <@Skyline> Hah, great.
[19:20] <@Skyline> Do you have a really nice saxophone?
[19:22] <@Borealis> It's a midrange one. Feels really good though.
[19:22] <@Borealis> I don't like the keys feeling light. I like a bit of resistance.
[19:22] <@Skyline> I still have a student level one. But I hope to get a nice one by the time I graduate.
[19:23] <@Yahoozy> I had an amazing alto sax.
[19:23] <@Yahoozy> With really cool embroidery.
[19:23] * @Borealis np: Dungen "Det du tänker idag är du morgon"
[19:23] <@Borealis> We're on this song, yes?
[19:23] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: Dungen - Det Du Tänker Idag Är Du Imorn
[19:23] <@Yahoozy> Yep.
[19:23] <@Yahoozy> JAZZ FLUTE
[19:24] <@Skyline> Embroidery. :D
[19:24] <@Borealis> I always loved flute.
[19:24] <@Skyline> I want to get one of those really worn ones.
[19:24] <@Skyline> Mine is so shiny and boring.
[19:24] <@Borealis> Blame that on my dad listening to Jethro Tull and Camel I suppose.
[19:25] <@Borealis> This is such a happy song.
[19:25] <@Yahoozy> I love the guitar around the flute parts.
[19:25] <@Skyline> They all are!
[19:26] <@Skyline> Well. This one's not exactly happy.
[19:27] * @Borealis np: Dungen "Lejonet & kulan"
[19:27] <@Borealis> Muted trumpet!
[19:27] <@Skyline> What? Where? o_O
[19:27] <@Borealis> I love muted trumpet. Ever since I heard Nils Petter Molvaer's "Khmer" in '97.
[19:28] <@Skyline> Ooh, clarinet and flute.
[19:29] <@Skyline> ...and a fucking organ and back to guitar I guess!
[19:29] <@Skyline> Oh, new song.
[19:30] <@Borealis> These bits /do/ remind me of Boris.
[19:30] <@Borealis> Slightly less noisy, granted.
[19:31] <@Skyline> Hm. I should get some Boris.
[19:32] <@Yahoozy> Boris<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
[19:32] <@Yahoozy> I have three Boris shirts.
[19:32] <@Skyline> What band t shirts do you have?
[19:32] <@Borealis> I rocked out Heavy Rocks earlier today, Hooz.
[19:32] <@Borealis> It rocked.
[19:33] <@Skyline> More flutes!
[19:33] <@Skyline> I... or not?
[19:33] <@Skyline> Are they?
[19:33] <@Yahoozy> Three Boris ones (including the Sunn O))) + Boris one), Jesu, Om, Earth, Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, Replacements, Smiths.
[19:34] <@Skyline> Some sort of flute synthesizer?
[19:34] <@Yahoozy> I think I'm forgetting something.
[19:34] <@Borealis> It seems odd.
[19:34] <@Skyline> I think this is a keyboard thing.
[19:34] <@Skyline> Or they recorded flutes and manipulated it.
[19:35] <@Skyline> Hmph. I just have Animal Collective, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Sigur Rós.
[19:35] <@Borealis> If that question was directed at me, Skyline, I have 87 band shirts.
[19:35] <@Borealis> :p
[19:35] <@Skyline> ;____;
[19:35] <@Skyline> I only got one of my shirts at a concert, though.
[19:35] <@Skyline> That was the Sigur Rós one.
[19:36] <@Skyline> It’s this shirt!
[19:36] <@Skyline> http://www.sigurros.com/main/Artwork/to ... 20x320.jpg
[19:37] <@Yahoozy> The beginning to this one is cool.
[19:37] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: Dungen - Om Du Vore En Vakthund
[19:38] <@Borealis> This one must have been a jam.
[19:38] <@Borealis> It's awesome.
[19:39] <@Skyline> Heh.
[19:40] <@Skyline> What’s that voice-like thing? A voice?
[19:41] <@Yahoozy> This is really good.
[19:41] * @Yahoozy is now listening to: Dungen - Sluta Följa Efter
[19:42] <@Borealis> It is.
[19:43] <@Borealis> This has a really heavy groove to it.
[19:43] <@Borealis> Like Earth sometimes has.
[19:43] <@Skyline> Yeah. It feels slow.
[19:45] <@Borealis> Heh. Wah abuse.
[19:45] <@Skyline> What an ending.
[19:45] <@Yahoozy> And we're done.

[origami_alligator]

Skyline and I are making plans to listen to Merriweather Post Pavilion sometime soon, either Thursday or this weekend. Anybody who has the album and wants to join in a listen we'll try and fudge the date and time around so we can get the most number of people in on it.

[yahoozy]

Tanner, Skyline, and I. Probably the most enjoyable listening thus far.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O

<Skyline> GO
 Tanner is listening to 09-15-00 (Part One) by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
 Yahoozy is listening to 09-15-00 (Part One) by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).

<Skyline> ;_________;
<Skyline> This is rather diverse instrumentation for GY!BE.
<Tanner> Are. You. Serious?
<Skyline> Normally they don't have that ting-ish piano thing.
<Tanner> GY!BE is a freaking mini-orchestra.
<Tanner> "Diverse instrumention."
<Tanner> I'm going to kick you in the box.
<Skyline> Also, I think two of my favorite songs by them is Static and Dead Flag Blues.
<Yahoozy> Static is third.
<Skyline> Static is incredible in the middle of the night in the dark!
<Yahoozy> Comes after Sleep and Rockets.
<Yahoozy> People tend to think Static is weak.
<Skyline> Sleep is good as well.
<Yahoozy> I don't know why.
<Tanner> I find myself completely agreeing with Yahoozy which is really rare.
<Skyline> Actually, I find Antennas to Heaven to be just as good as Sleep.
<Yahoozy> You're crazy.
<Tanner> You are crazy.
<Yahoozy> I like Antennas for the sampling.

<Skyline> Storm is incredible, too, actually. Except I've listened to it a lot.
<Tanner> But that's only because he's founder.
<AF> Yup.
<AF> The channel's pretty good. You must admit.

<Yahoozy> I love this track.
<Yahoozy> It's very melodic.
<Skyline> Sorta.
<Tanner> Skyline is talking about this like he's never listened to GY!BE before.
<Tanner> "Guys, this is taking a while to build to a climax."
<Skyline> Haha.
<Tanner> "Guys, this has diverse instrumention."
<Tanner> *instrumentation
<Skyline> I haven't listened to Godspeed You! Black Emperor in months, actually. Except for last week.
<Yahoozy> ...
<Tanner> Skyline is being really annoying to me.
<Tanner> I'm quiting this listen.
<Skyline> ;-;
<Skyline> NO
 Tanner is now playing Stevie Nix by The Hold Steady (Separation Sunday).
<Skyline> I WON'T TALK
<Skyline> FOR THE REST OF THE TIME
<Skyline> I PROMISE
<Tanner> Too late.
<Tanner> You ruined everything.
<Yahoozy> Tanner. ;-;
<Skyline> NO SHUT UP YOU'RE STILL LISTENING TO IT
<Skyline> APRIL FOOLS HAHAHA
<Yahoozy> We were agreeing on things. ;-;
<Tanner> Get off my last.fm, you dork.
<Skyline> I was not on Last fm! I assumed that you were not being serious.
<Tanner> Oh. In that case, I was being serious.
<Skyline> Is this part being left-biased in the speakers for you?
<Skyline> Well, not anymore.
<Skyline> But that was irritating.
<Tanner> Haha. Like I would ever start Separation Sunday at Stevie Nix anyway. It's halfway through the story by that point!
<Skyline> But yeah, this song is fully average.
<Yahoozy> I hate you, Skyline.
<Yahoozy> I am thoroughly enjoying this album.
<Yahoozy> And you're ruining it for me.
<Skyline> This part is nice!
<Tanner> This is why I don't pay any attention when Skyline talks about music.
<Tanner> He ain't got no chops.
<Skyline> I'm getting Stars of the Lid on vinyl for my birthday. :D
<Skyline> I forget which album.
<Tanner> Typical.
<Skyline> The refinement one.
<Tanner> Typical.
<Skyline> Borealis suggested it. ;-;
<Tanner> Typical.
<Skyline> :_:
<Skyline> Yahoozy, I'm downloading a FLAC version of Endless Summer right now. :D
<Yahoozy> Typical.
<Skyline> That's actually quite atypical, considering the possibilities of what I could have just said to you.
<Tanner> Man, FLAC is silly.
<Yahoozy> God, I love this album.
<Skyline> Maybe, but it was the only torrent I found!
<Tanner> Ain't no audible difference between FLAC and V0 or 320.
<Yahoozy> I really should listen to it more.
<Yahoozy> GY!BE has proven incapable of making bad music.
<Tanner> I fell asleep to this album last week and it was awesome, Yahoozy.
<Skyline> This part is very cool.
<Skyline> new song!
<Tanner> Look at Skyline all trying to fit in now.
 Yahoozy is listening to 09-15-00 (Part Two) by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
<Tanner> Typical.
<Yahoozy> Typical.
<Tanner> :D
<Skyline> Well, if I said something besides what I just said, I would have been kickbanned again!
<Tanner> Damn straight.
<Tanner> You should like this, Skyline.
<Tanner> It's quite similar to Dead Flag.
<Skyline> This song is a washed out dreary dirge.
<Skyline> It's nice.
 Yahoozy is listening to Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
 Tanner is listening to Rockets Fall On Rocket Falls by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
<Tanner> Woop.
<Yahoozy> This song is cinematic to the nth fucking degree.
<Skyline> Oh, I did listen to this before!
<Yahoozy> I can't fucking stand it.
<Skyline> It's delicious!
<Skyline> I listened to it before a big thunderstorm last summer!
<Tanner> There's a video on youtube of just atomic bombs exploding to this for 9 minutes.
<Tanner> It really works.
<Yahoozy> Yep.
<Yahoozy> I love it.
<Skyline> That reminds me.
<Skyline> Did you see the Brightblack video of the girl having sex from the neck up, Yahoozy?
<Skyline> Wait.
<Skyline> It probably wasn't official.
<Yahoozy> I did not.
<Skyline> Pavel is a terrible artist.
<Skyline> The slow build really works in this song.
<Tanner> I really liked Pavel before I got to know him.
<Skyline> I can't believe he's going to NYU for art.
<Skyline> Well, I guess all the bad artists go to art school.
<Guiseppi> Wow...
<Tanner> Except for Hitler, Skyline.
<Tanner> Except for Hitler.
<Skyline> He was probably a very good artist!
<Tanner> I dunno. Do we have any of Hitler's art?
<Skyline> Just look up some pictures of Auschwitz or something.
<Tanner> I...
<Tanner> Skyline, my grandpa died in Auschwitz.
<Yahoozy> HEY GUYS I LOVE THE NEXT PART OF THE SONG
<Tanner> He fell out of guard tower and broke his neck.
<Tanner> Wooo wooo woooo wooo woo wo.
<Skyline> Oh, I'm sorry, Tanner.
<Skyline> I meant, just the building designs.
<Skyline> Not the piles of corpses.
<Tanner> Hitler didn't design the buildings, you idiot.
<Tanner> He did design the piles of corpses, though.
<Skyline> Oh.
<Skyline> Well that's what I meant!
<Skyline> This is such a great song.
<Skyline> Yahoozy, itwillneverbethesame.com is so cool. D:
<Yahoozy> It is.
<Yahoozy> TANNER I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF
<Tanner> This song really does do the anticipation thing so well.
<Tanner> I agree, Yahoozy.
<Skyline> it's almost as fun as this!
<Skyline> http://www.manetas.com/eo/wb/files/clinger.htm
<Yahoozy> I NEED TO FUCK EMBETH DAVIDTZ WHILE SHE GIVES EFRIM MENUCK A BLOWJOB WHILE WATCHING SCHINDLER'S LIST AND LISTENING TO THIS SONG
<Yahoozy> That's fucking amazing, Skyline, and is my new favorite website.
<Tanner> Man, I feel this song right in my stomach.
<Yahoozy> I fear that this song is going to rise above Sleep.
<Tanner> Fuuuuuuuck.
<Yahoozy> Wait.
<Yahoozy> Amazing guitar part coming up.
<Yahoozy> Here.
<Yahoozy> IT'S SO PERFECT
<Tanner> Wooooow wowoowooowww.
<Yahoozy> JESUS CHRIST
<Tanner> Goddamn.
<Tanner> Goddamn this song.
<Skyline> It's the best from this album.
<Skyline> I can assume.
<Tanner> We should have just done this song five times for the listen.
<Yahoozy> I love the end.
<Yahoozy> It gives me chills.
<Yahoozy> And a massive, throbbing erection.
<Skyline> Oh god yeah.
<Skyline> I like making this floaty guy do the worm.
<Yahoozy> Never could I have dreamt that perfection could last 20 minutes and 42 seconds.
<Skyline> I bet the next song will be horrible compared to this.
 Tanner is listening to Motherfucker=Redeemer (Part On by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
<Yahoozy> It isn't.
<Yahoozy> Skyline, it's fackin' Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
 Yahoozy is listening to Motherfucker=Redeemer (Part On by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
<Tanner> Song title is so badass.
<Skyline> This is a cool bell thing!
<Skyline> Diverse instrumentation.
<Yahoozy> A favorite title of mine, as well.
<Skyline> Yeah. The only problem with the title is that it's also the title of a PALEMOON map.
<Skyline> Oh, I was not expecting this.
<Tanner> Hahahaha!
<Tanner> :D:D:D:D:D
<Skyline> It almost sounds like Arcade Fire!
<Tanner> ...
<Tanner> You're banned from #music forever.
<Tanner> Ah, never mind.
<Skyline> Well, the beginning of this section did.
 Cerberus ([email protected]) has joined #Music
<Skyline> Oh, this is simply vast.
<Skyline> I see canyons of blue dust and crags and mountains and an abyss of lonely!
<Tanner> I can't believe you've never heard this album, Skyline.
<Skyline> I know.
<Skyline> I've had it forever.
<Skyline> Almost a year by now.
<Skyline> This is possibly better than Rockets Fall.
<Yahoozy> No.
<Yahoozy> Shut the fuck up right now.
<Yahoozy> It's good, though.
<Skyline> Nah, I'd label it as better.
<Skyline> Especially this part!
<Yahoozy> Yeah.
<Yahoozy> This is the best part of this track.
<Yahoozy> But the track is nowhere near Rockets.
<Skyline> Eh.
<Skyline> I suppose the overall layout of that one is better.
<Skyline> But this one is much more varied.
<Tanner> No way this is better than Rockets.
<Tanner> Rockets is a fucking masterstroke.
<Skyline> Ooooh.
<Skyline> That was an incredible development!
<Yahoozy> The only part of any GY!BE song that is better than either part of Rockets is Monheim.
<Yahoozy> On Sleep.
<Skyline> Which part is that?
<Yahoozy> Everything from Murray Ostril to the distorted guitars that lead into that long bridge of duel-notes.
<Yahoozy> Especially from about 6:40 to 13:20.
<Skyline> Ah.
<Skyline> I remember when you linked me to that on youtube.
<Skyline> You said it was the most incredible piece of music ever. ;D
<Skyline> I really love this pat.
<Skyline> This part, rather.
* ZenPig is now known as ChaosWolf
<Yahoozy> I remember why I didn't listen to Yanqui much now.
<Yahoozy> 'Cause every song besides Rockets makes me wish I were listening to Rockets.
<Yahoozy> And it's sad, because the other songs are quite good.
<Skyline> Hahahah.
<Skyline> I wonder what that high-pitched instrument is.
<Skyline> That's similar to how every song on this album makes me wish I were listening to Skinny Fists.
<Tanner> So I put, "Tanner Rogalskythought the classics never go out of style but they do, they do." as my status of Facebook.
<Tanner> And now I'm getting Sense Fail ads.
<Tanner> Which I find interesting.
<Tanner> *Senses Fail
<Yahoozy> Hahahaha!
<Skyline> OH GOSH COOL SOUNDS
<Yahoozy> Tanner, I'm changing mine to, "Somehow, Tanner, I never thought that we'd do, too."
<Tanner> Fantastic.
<Yahoozy> Actually, no.
<Skyline> Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the closer!
<Yahoozy> I can't meld that to my name.
 Yahoozy is listening to Motherfucker=Redeemer (Part Two) by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
<Yahoozy> I'll just comment instead, Tanner.
<Skyline> My Fennesz download is nearing completion.
<Skyline> Just in time.
 Tanner is listening to Motherfucker=Redeemer (Part Tw by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
<Yahoozy> Where are the "o"s on are your parts, Tanner?
<Tanner> AMIP.
<Yahoozy> Aheh.
<Yahoozy> This is better than the first part.
<Skyline> It is.
<Skyline> Beautiful chords.
<Yahoozy> Jesus.
<Yahoozy> Jesus Christ.
<Yahoozy> Fucking hell.
<Yahoozy> These chords are amazing.
<Skyline> Why the fuck did pitchfork give this a 5 out of 10?
<Yahoozy> Being the elitist assholes that Pitchfork are, they don't want /everyone/ listening to their favorite music.
<Yahoozy> So they had to rate it low to keep it to themselves.
<Skyline> I think I'm about to explode.
<Skyline> This violin part is perfect.
<Skyline> OH GOD NO
<Skyline> WHY WOULD IT END
<Tanner> Hehe. So upbeat.
<Skyline> I can't imagine how they will end this.
<Skyline> Wowowowow.
<Yahoozy> Incredible.
<Yahoozy> And incredibly underrated.
<Skyline> SHIT
<Skyline> NO WAY
<Skyline> DID YOU HEAR THAT ENDING
<Tanner> Yeah.
<Yahoozy> GY!BE now there way around an ending.
<Tanner> Fuck yeah.
<Tanner> Again, guys.
<Yahoozy> know*
<Tanner> Again.
<Yahoozy> Hahahahaha.
<Tanner> Right now.
 Tanner is listening to 09-15-00 (Part One) by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Yanqui U.X.O.).
<Skyline> I can't put this in the thread. Because I was kicked /multiple/ times.
<Tanner> Nah, just kidding.
<Tanner> But I could.
<Yahoozy> Heheheheh.

[aids]

This thing is clearly screaming out for In The Aeroplane...

Date and time and I'm there.

[Tanner]

Gah! Yahoozy, why did you put this up without timestamps? You're banned from #music forever.

[Skyling]

Cerberus, Stephen, ortsz, and I listened to "At the Mountains of Madness" by Electric Masada (just the first disc). Sorry, Yahoozy. It was Cerberus' and Stephen's first listen!

[11:47] <Skyline> This is probably the best introduction ever.
[11:47] <Stephen> I did not really know what this would sound like, but I'm quite enthralled.
[11:47] <Skyline> Did you not listen to it yet?
[11:47] <Stephen> This is my first listen.
[11:47] <Skyline> :D
[11:47] <Skyline> Ikue Mori on electronics.
[11:47] <Skyline> She's from Boredoms!
[11:47] <@ortsz> Wooo
[11:48] <Skyline> I think.
[11:48] <@ortsz> There's multiple percussionists on this, right?
[11:48] <Skyline> Yes, I believe.
[11:48] <Skyline> There are a few people doing random tings and tongs.
[11:48] <Skyline> And probably one drummer on each song.
[11:48] <Skyline> And this is why I love John Zorn!
[11:49] <@ortsz> He's the cat strangler, right?
[11:49] <@ortsz> Nominally saxophone, but we all know it's a cat.
[11:49] <Skyline> Hahaha.
[11:49] <Stephen> An ALTO cat.
[11:49] <Skyline> My sister calls it the dentist drill.
[11:49] <@Cerberus> Ha!
[11:49] <Skyline> I really want to learn how to do it on the saxophone.
[11:50] <Skyline> This album isn't really good for subwoofers. It's already too low-ended so the sound tends to distort. I turned down my bass a lot.
[11:50] <Skyline> I think one thing I like about this is how much stuff is going on at the same tim.
[11:50] <Skyline> time.
[11:50] <Skyline> It's so full and lush.
[11:51] <Skyline> My favorite musician on this album is the keyboardist.
[11:52] <@ortsz> I like the progression.
[11:52] <Skyline> By the way, if you listen carefully, you can hear Zorn announce the next song at the end of each song.
[11:52] <@ortsz> It's just starting to get a bit crazy.
[11:52] <Skyline> Yeah, this album has great crescendoes and drops.
[11:53] <Skyline> Oh, I lied.
[11:53] <Skyline> I'm not sure why I said Ikue Mori is from Boredoms.
[11:53] <Skyline> That doesn't seem to be the case.
[11:53] <@ortsz> They all look the same, right?
[11:53] <Skyline> Yes, indeed!
[11:54] <Stephen> This bit has about 3 drummers surely?
[11:54] <Skyline> I hear at least two.
[11:54] <Stephen> Yeah.
[11:54] <Skyline> And then those pretty electronics. :D
[11:54] <Stephen> Is that castanets? ^^
[11:54] <Skyline> No idea.
[11:55] <Skyline> Oh my, I've started something.
[11:55] <Skyline> By getting my sister in a bad mood, she's now fighting with my mother.
[11:55] <@ortsz> I'd like to think that the intensity of the argument is tied to the music.
[11:55] <Skyline> Hahaha.
[11:56] <@ortsz> You are getting an enhanced listening experience.
[11:56] <Skyline> Nah, it's just making me feel kinda bad. :_:
[11:56] <Skyline> This is super intense!
[11:56] <@ortsz> Oh yeah.
[11:57] <Skyline> And then it goes down to nothing.
[11:57] <Skyline> I feel bad for the bassist. They play the same thing for fifteen minutes. :/
[11:57] <@ortsz> Eheheh.
[11:57] <@Cerberus> Drummmmsssssss
[11:58] <Skyline> Cerberus, is this a little too different for you? ;p
[11:58] <@Cerberus> no :(
[11:58] <Skyline> Juuuuuuuuuuuuust checkin'!
[11:59] <Skyline> This was the first John Zorn album I got.
[11:59] <Skyline> I guess most people wouldn't hear the songbook this way at first.
[11:59] <Skyline> Hearing these same songs on violins is strange, though.
[11:59] <@ortsz> This is the only one I've.
[12:00] <Skyline> It's one of the best, surely.
[12:01] <Stephen> I've?!
[12:01] <Stephen> :S
[12:01] <@ortsz> :D
[12:01] <Stephen> Trevor Dunn plays "bass instrument", apparently.
[12:01] <Skyline> Marc Ribot is fantastic.
[12:02] <Stephen> Wait dude! maestro I never knew your dad played the bass instrument!
[12:02] <@ortsz> All Dunns are proficient bass instrumentalists.
[12:02] <Skyline> Yes, this is certainly maestro's dad.
[12:02] <Skyline> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/e ... r_Dunn.jpg
[12:02] <Stephen> Only one percussionist is listed, I'd imagine the other performers help out in the quiet bits.
[12:02] <Skyline> Hm, I didn't really like that ending.

[12:03] <@ortsz> I get it now!
[12:03] <Stephen> I may have lost out on a few seconds there :s
[12:03] <Skyline> I love this song.
[12:04] <@Cerberus> This sounds like something I usually listen to.
[12:04] <Skyline> It's probably the most intense on the album.
[12:04] <Skyline> And this melody line is incredible! All in unison!
[12:04] <Skyline> It's not something that's easy to follow, either.
[12:04] <Stephen> Haha, whoa.
[12:04] <Stephen> FUCK barlines.
[12:04] <Skyline> hahaha.
[12:05] <Skyline> That little keyboard part adds so much color.
[12:05] <Skyline> I find that this is a bad album to listen to in the car.
[12:06] <Skyline> The road noise cancels out some parts of the song, and I end up just hurting my ears. :/
[12:06] <@ortsz> Call the RSPCA!
[12:07] <Skyline> Hahahahahaha.
[12:07] <Skyline> I love that he does it so much on the album.

[12:08] <Skyline> Such a relief when it ends.

[12:09] * @ortsz · Electric Masada - Karaim [At the Mountains of Madness (disc 1) #03]
[12:09] <@ortsz> Moody.
[12:09] <Skyline> This is one of the reasons I love the keyboard.
[12:09] <Skyline> And to think that this is all improvised. :D
[12:10] <Stephen> Y'all need to listen to Bitches Brew.
[12:10] <Skyline> I have that as well.
[12:10] <Stephen> It sounds like this song.
[12:10] <Skyline> Although I don't like it as much as this album.
[12:10] <Skyline> It doesn't have that much shape to it.
[12:10] <Skyline> But this album has tons of shape!
[12:10] <Skyline> Tonnes!
[12:10] <Stephen> I think I may prefer this more. Even though Miles Davis is a ledge.
[12:10] <Stephen> Prefer it MORE@
[12:10] <Stephen> !
[12:11] <Skyline> Now the song starts.
[12:11] <@ortsz> I like Bitches Brew but I wouldn't say I'm familiar enough with either album to compare.
[12:11] <Skyline> Listen to the first line the alto plays.
[12:11] <Skyline> OH HE'S SMOOTH
[12:12] <@ortsz> Penguins are turning to prostitution. But instead of doing it for money, Antarctic dolly-birds are turning tricks to get rocks off their menfolk.
[12:12] <@ortsz> Oops.
[12:12] <Skyline> Fantastic.
[12:13] <Skyline> This whole solo is perfection.
[12:13] <@ortsz> It's been 5 minutes already?
[12:13] <Skyline> I know! Time flies!
[12:14] <Skyline> Mmmmm.
[12:15] <@Cerberus> These songs go by quick.
[12:15] <@ortsz> Very nice stuff.
[12:15] <Skyline> Imagine being in concert.
[12:15] <Skyline> STRAIGHT FROM MOSCOW
[12:16] <@ortsz> Snappy.
[12:16] <Skyline> WOOOP
[12:17] <Skyline> I love this whole thing!
[12:17] <Skyline> Now watch.
[12:18] <Skyline> In this one keyboard solo they will go from this to an intense climax.
[12:18] <@ortsz> You can feel it already.
[12:19] <Skyline> They're building. :3
[12:19] <@Cerberus> oh shit
[12:19] <Skyline> AAAAAAAAAAAGH
[12:20] <Skyline> SO MUCH TENSION
[12:20] <@ortsz> LET"S JUST KISS AND GET IT OVER WITH

[12:20] <Skyline> There's still some pull, though.
[12:20] <Skyline> You can tell it's not over.
[12:20] <@ortsz> It's got some funk.
[12:20] <Skyline> This solo certainly does.
[12:21] <Skyline> I think the fact that these guys are such good musicians helps with the way the song builds and falls.
[12:21] <Skyline> This part always reminds me of speeding up.
[12:21] <Skyline> READY
[12:22] <Skyline> AHAHAHAHAHA
[12:22] <@ortsz> UHH
[12:22] <Skyline> That was an ejaculation if there ever was one.
[12:23] <Skyline> Does that line make me a reviewer? ;-;
[12:23] <@ortsz> Hahah.
[12:23] <Skyline> They really do this whole thing perfectly.
[12:24] <lord_day> To be a reviewer...
[12:24] <Skyline> It seems that we'll get some noise back in the next song.
[12:24] <lord_day> You need to think of 100 metaphors for how a map is PERFECT

[12:24] <Skyline> Most confusing and dense song ever?
[12:25] <Skyline> Yes.
[12:25] <@ortsz> "Song".
[12:25] <Skyline> Oh, there's a clear rhythm to it.
[12:25] <@ortsz> Oh, yeah.
[12:25] <@ortsz> It's deft.
[12:25] <Skyline> The whole song is just in 1,000 / 4.
[12:26] <lord_day> That would be so amazing.
[12:26] <Skyline> Well, that's essentially what this is!
[12:26] <Skyline> You couldn't even put this into sheet music.
[12:27] <@ortsz> They just want their mommy!
[12:27] <Skyline> The kittens?
[12:27] <@ortsz> The kittens.
[12:27] <@Cerberus> WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

[12:28] <@Cerberus> YESSS
[12:28] <@ortsz> Hahaha.
[12:28] <Skyline> Now this is an incredible feat for the saxohpone.
[12:28] <@ortsz> This is ridiculous.
[12:28] <Skyline> I can't even imagine how one would do that.
[12:29] <Skyline> And then they just go back to this!
[12:29] <Skyline> Ohhhhhhhhhh yeah.

[12:32] <Skyline> Beautiful chord progression.
[12:32] <@ortsz> God-damn watery noises.
[12:32] <@ortsz> Back in forty seconds.
[12:32] <Skyline> I love watery noises.
[12:33] <Skyline> I think this album can be so long because it has so much diversity.
[12:35] <Skyline> Also, this is the best guitar solo on the album.
[12:36] <Skyline> And /this/ is the only electronics solo on the album.
[12:36] <Skyline> For good reason, I think.
[12:36] <@ortsz> I was about to say.
[12:36] <@ortsz> You can see why.
[12:37] <Skyline> I do think it could've been done better.

[12:38] <Stephen> Agh, why am I so behind
[12:38] <@ortsz> Dense.
[12:39] <Skyline> I love this.
[12:39] <Skyline> I love this so much.
[12:39] <Skyline> The poor cats, though.
[12:40] <@Cerberus> not enough cats
[12:40] <Skyline> The squeaking is much more prevalent on albums like Naked City.
[12:40] <Skyline> It doesn't really happen more, but it comes out more.
[12:41] <Skyline> DOUBLE TIME
[12:41] <Skyline> Quadruple time. o_o
[12:41] <Skyline> TIME TO THE EIGHT
[12:41] <Skyline> H
[12:42] <@ortsz> The squeaking works very well in this.
[12:42] <Skyline> yes.
[12:43] <Skyline> That's coincidentally all he does in this song.
[12:43] <Skyline> I do love the melody.
[12:43] <Skyline> It's dark.
[12:44] <Skyline> According to Borealis, John Zorn developed his noisy side by playing along to Carcass records.
[12:44] * Skyline is listening to Electric Masada - Kedem
[12:44] <Skyline> I can't say I remember this track.
[12:44] * @Cerberus is listening to Electric Masada - Kedem
[12:45] <@ortsz> I assume Carcass is some kind of death metal band?
[12:45] * Stephen is listening to Electric Masada - Kedem - Time: 0:03/15:41
[12:45] <Skyline> Indeed.
[12:45] <@Cerberus> YES
[12:45] <@ortsz> Heh, 16 minutes of unrememberable.
[12:45] <Skyline> I'll remember it once it starts!
[12:46] <Skyline> Wait, are there any bird sounds in this part?
[12:46] <Skyline> I can't differenciate this song from the birds outside.
[12:46] <@ortsz> There are.
[12:46] <Skyline> Ooh.
[12:46] <Skyline> Bass.
[12:46] <Skyline> This is truly mysterious.
[12:46] <@ortsz> Oh, yeah.
[12:46] * @ortsz · Electric Masada - Kedem [At the Mountains of Madness (disc 1) #07]
[12:47] <@ortsz> The birds are turning into frogs and dogs.
[12:47] <Skyline> I imagined a murky sewer in the dead of night.
[12:47] <Skyline> And I love how Zorn does a fake echo here!
[12:48] <Skyline> Ah, yes, this song.
[12:49] <Skyline> I remember it now.
[12:50] <Skyline> Oh, my father is using some lawn care machine outside and I thought it was part of the song for the past five minutes.
[12:51] <@ortsz> Ah, experimental music.
[12:51] <Skyline> I must say, it fits nicely!
[12:52] <Skyline> It's blending right in now!
[12:52] <Skyline> I've never really liked the term "experimental".
[12:52] <Skyline> Just because the style is out there doesn't mean that it's tentative or just being tested.
[12:54] <Skyline> I think this song reminds me too much of Lilin.
[12:55] <Skyline> It's good, just a little samey.
[12:56] <Skyline> Incredible rhythm on the drums.
[12:56] <lord_day> Do you now who is one of my favourite drummers?
[12:56] <Skyline> It's like breakcore.
[12:56] <lord_day> Steve Gadd.
[12:56] <lord_day> He is incredible.
[12:56] <lord_day> :
[12:56] <lord_day> :

[12:56] <Skyline> Acoustic breakcore!

[12:58] <@ortsz> Ting ting ting
[12:59] <Skyline> Hahaha, am I?
[12:59] <@Cerberus> yes
[12:59] <Skyline> Fantastic.
[12:59] <@Cerberus> http://www.last.fm/music/Electric+Masad ... of+Madness
[12:59] <Skyline> I love myself.
[13:00] <Skyline> I really dig the percussion here!
[13:00] <@ortsz> Nice end.
[13:00] * Skyline is listening to Electric Masada - Yatzar
[13:00] * @ortsz · Electric Masada - Yatzar [At the Mountains of Madness (disc 1) #08]
[13:00] <Skyline> This is my other favorite track.
[13:00] * @Cerberus is listening to Electric Masada - Yatzar
[13:01] <Skyline> Totally great guitar work.
[13:01] <Skyline> Passionate.
[13:03] <Skyline> Now in this section.
[13:03] <Skyline> I can't tell if the first sound effect is a vocalist or a saxophone.
[13:03] <Skyline> You'll hear it in a little bit.
[13:04] <Skyline> THAT RIGHT THERE
[13:04] <@ortsz> Hahaha.
[13:04] <@Cerberus> Wow, haha.
[13:04] <@ortsz> Some of these sounds are so silly.
[13:04] <Skyline> I think this song is supposed to be like visiting some sort of grove full of exotic animals.
[13:04] <@ortsz> wub wub wub wub wub
[13:04] <@Cerberus> xDD
[13:05] <Skyline> And the kissing the saxophone part!
[13:05] <Skyline> I love that.
[13:05] <Skyline> What a relaxing song.
[13:06] <Skyline> I really don't want it to end. ;-;
[13:06] <Skyline> ;_________________;
[13:06] <Skyline> STOP IT

Stephen's first listen

Listeners: Pawz, Skyline, and Stephen

...

[Skyling]

It was Stephen's first time listening to that particular album.

[unoriginal name]

It was Stephen's first time listening to that particular album.

Ohh, I see. Your phrasing was a little vague, though.

[Tanner]

Skyline and I listened to Pranzo Oltranzista by Mike Patton and it was awful but he seemed to enjoy it so there's no accounting for taste.

Click!

May 02 21:33:51 <Tanner> 1
May 02 21:33:53 <Tanner> GO
May 02 21:33:57 * Tanner is listening to Elettricita Atmospheriche Candite by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:34:06 <Skyline> What strange, strange sounds!
May 02 21:34:51 <Tanner> This album is, essentially, Mike Patton featuring John Zorn and company.
May 02 21:34:52 <Skyline> I am suddenly and without warning immersed in a cave of glowing silt, vile thousand-legged worms, and miniature tornadoes strewn across the walls!
May 02 21:35:00 <Tanner> ...
May 02 21:35:14 <Skyline> Also, the album art is nice.
May 02 21:35:22 * Tanner is listening to Carne Cruda Squarciata Dal Suono Di Sassofono by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:35:32 <Tanner> All the songs are named after food.
May 02 21:35:34 <Skyline> I thought there would be more strange vocals on this.
May 02 21:35:43 <Tanner> So did I.
May 02 21:35:47 <Tanner> They are coming, perhaps?
May 02 21:35:53 <Skyline> But this is still very nice!
May 02 21:36:03 <Skyline> Hehe, there's John Zorn.
May 02 21:36:12 <Tanner> Ha.
May 02 21:36:28 <Skyline> I wonder if this is what it sounds like in his mind. It's all very dark and cluttered.
May 02 21:36:57 <Tanner> With one person always eating carrots during the downtime.
May 02 21:37:06 <Skyline> Hah.
May 02 21:37:14 <Skyline> I feel so postmodern right now.
May 02 21:37:33 <Tanner> Haha. Me too.
May 02 21:37:40 <Tanner> This is pretty silly.
May 02 21:37:49 <Skyline> I love it already!
May 02 21:37:50 <Tanner> Haha. I'm enjoying it.
May 02 21:37:59 * Tanner is listening to Vivanda in Scodella by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:38:04 <Skyline> You appear to be several seconds behind me.
May 02 21:38:09 <Skyline> No matter!
May 02 21:38:22 <Skyline> This guy was in Faith No More? o_O
May 02 21:38:31 <Tanner> I was a little late on the draw for that one.
May 02 21:38:38 <Tanner> Yeah, and The Dillinger Escape Plan.
May 02 21:39:03 <Skyline> I'm actually not sure what either of those sound like.
May 02 21:39:21 <Skyline> This song reminds me of Green Typewriters Number the Eighth.
May 02 21:39:50 <Tanner> Grr. This is so pretentious.
May 02 21:40:05 <Skyline> I love pretentious things, though.
May 02 21:40:12 <Skyline> You don't? D:<
May 02 21:40:29 <Tanner> Funny thing, Skyline. I actually find them quite....
May 02 21:40:33 <Tanner> ... pretentious.
May 02 21:40:42 <Skyline> But in a good way!
May 02 21:40:45 <Tanner> Carrots!
May 02 21:40:48 <Skyline> I really like this part.
May 02 21:40:58 <Skyline> It sounds like a rusty metal railing giving birth.
May 02 21:41:03 <Tanner> And high-pitched buzzing!
May 02 21:41:14 <Skyline> Well, don't worry. This seems like a short album.
May 02 21:41:23 * Tanner is listening to Guerra in letto by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:41:26 <Tanner> Yeah.
May 02 21:41:57 <Skyline> Real instruments!
May 02 21:42:01 <Tanner> Haha.
May 02 21:42:05 <Tanner> Yay!
May 02 21:42:32 <Skyline> This reminds me. Do you have Moonchild?
May 02 21:42:37 <Tanner> I'm pretty sure Mike Patton's only contribution to this album so far is eating carrots and breaking shit.
May 02 21:42:39 <Tanner> No.
May 02 21:43:11 * Tanner is listening to Contorno Tattile (Per Russolo) by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:43:11 <Skyline> Hm, neither do I. But that's where you'll get more vocals, I think.
May 02 21:43:34 <Skyline> Maybe it's just the food titles, but the sounds remind me of a restaurant a lot.
May 02 21:43:53 <Skyline> The eating and the silverware.
May 02 21:44:02 <Tanner> This is sort of cool.
May 02 21:44:21 <Skyline> THE WHOLE THING IS DAMNED COOL
May 02 21:44:44 <Tanner> Well, I'm glad one of us is enjoying themselves.
May 02 21:45:01 <Tanner> Even if it seems sort of unfair that it isn't the person who suggested it in the first place.
May 02 21:45:13 * Tanner is listening to I Rumori Nutrienti by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:45:20 <Skyline> Hahah. Well, maybe you should be more open minded!
May 02 21:45:38 <Skyline> WOO SAXOPHONE
May 02 21:45:41 <Tanner> Sax!
May 02 21:45:45 <Tanner> Thank God!
May 02 21:46:10 <Tanner> Dude, I listen to Merzbow and this sound like chaos to me.
May 02 21:46:15 <Tanner> -Merzbow-.
May 02 21:46:46 <Skyline> This is one of those albums where if you listen to a gloriously melodious pop record directly after, you will reach an enlightened state of happiness.
May 02 21:47:01 <Tanner> I once played Merzbow and Sunn O)) over top of one another and it had more direction than this album.
May 02 21:47:10 <Skyline> Hahahaha.
May 02 21:47:17 <Tanner> *)))
May 02 21:47:31 <Skyline> Yeah, I'm not sure how many plays this will get in my library.
May 02 21:47:40 <Tanner> Honesty!
May 02 21:48:09 <Skyline> But surely it's a fun experience the first time.
May 02 21:48:22 <Tanner> Yeah, I guess.
May 02 21:48:53 <Skyline> I'm not sure what kinds of chord changes this guy thinks he's soloing over. :/
May 02 21:50:17 <Tanner> Within the dimension of centerless of awareness a dynamic web of
May 02 21:50:17 <Tanner> thought emerges -- this is seeing and thinking as a unitary movement in the
May 02 21:50:17 <Tanner> absolute stillness of being which, in the highly evolved, has nothing to do
May 02 21:50:17 <Tanner> with physical activity or movement (stillness in movement, the eye within
May 02 21:50:17 <Tanner> the storm, so to speak).
May 02 21:50:22 <Skyline> GODDAMNIT TANNER I'LL JUST DO IT
May 02 21:50:37 * Tanner is listening to Garofani Allo Spiedo by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:50:39 * Skyline is listening to Mike Patton - Garofani Allo Spiedo
May 02 21:50:41 <Skyline> ASDFH;;EOGHWEOFJAWF
May 02 21:50:43 <Tanner> :D
May 02 21:50:51 <Skyline> You smell.
May 02 21:51:04 <Tanner> Sorry, I'm having trouble concentrating.
May 02 21:51:16 <Tanner> Everything is blending together.
May 02 21:51:23 <Skyline> Is that the music's fault
May 02 21:51:27 <Tanner> I... I may have achieved a higher conciousness.
May 02 21:51:40 <Skyline> Heh.
May 02 21:51:45 <Tanner> Dude, do you ever think about... water?
May 02 21:51:47 <Skyline> This is sort of an unexpected development.
May 02 21:51:49 <Skyline> OH MY GOD
May 02 21:51:50 <Skyline> YES ALL THE TIME
May 02 21:51:55 <Tanner> Water is so fucking... so fucking...
May 02 21:52:02 <Tanner> I love you, man.
May 02 21:52:23 <Skyline> Hahahahaha. You're good at that.
May 02 21:52:28 <Skyline> Being stoned, I mean.
May 02 21:52:33 <Tanner> I hope the carrots come back for the end of the album.
May 02 21:52:41 <Tanner> The carrots were my favourite part so far.
May 02 21:52:43 <Tanner> Easily.
May 02 21:52:55 <Skyline> I liked the dinner plate sound collage.
May 02 21:52:56 * Tanner is listening to Aerovivanda by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:53:01 <Tanner> Haha.
May 02 21:53:06 <Tanner> The plates are back.
May 02 21:53:18 <Tanner> John Zorn is fucking amazing.
May 02 21:53:33 <Skyline> I wish I knew how to make these noises on my saxophone. :(
May 02 21:53:59 <Skyline> Especially considering this kid in my school wants to start a band with me playing them.
May 02 21:54:03 <Tanner> I wish /she/ knew how to make these noises on my sexophone.
May 02 21:54:19 <Skyline> Really, Tanner? This sounds like terrible sex.
May 02 21:54:36 <Tanner> Nothing quite like post-modern sex.
May 02 21:55:20 <Skyline> I...
May 02 21:55:21 * Tanner is listening to Scoppioningola by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:55:24 <Skyline> Fork fetish?
May 02 21:55:31 <Tanner> Ten and half minutes left.
May 02 21:56:20 <Skyline> You know, I think I will listen to this again.
May 02 21:56:24 <Skyline> Some parts are downright enjoyable.
May 02 21:56:46 <Tanner> I wish I had a physical copy of this album so that I could give it to somebody I dislike.
May 02 21:56:48 <Skyline> And these parts that sound like waterfalls of bolts and metal bits are nice!
May 02 21:56:58 <Skyline> Yeah. If you ever need to get rid of a girl or something.
May 02 21:57:41 <Skyline> Is... is that the saxophone?
May 02 21:58:06 <Tanner> I honestly want to know what Mike Patton's part was in all this.
May 02 21:58:25 <Tanner> One of the listed genres is called vocal.
May 02 21:58:29 <Tanner> And yet... nothing!
May 02 21:58:36 * Tanner is listening to Latte Alla Luce Verde by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 21:58:37 <Skyline> I heard a bit of voice on an earlier track, actually.
May 02 21:58:45 <Skyline> The sounds blend well together.
May 02 21:59:25 <Tanner> I feel like I should be discussing Warhol and doing heroin with a transexual right now.
May 02 21:59:29 <Skyline> And here are some more, it seems.
May 02 21:59:45 <Skyline> ;-;
May 02 21:59:59 <Tanner> I am never listening to this album again.
May 02 22:00:14 <Skyline> A'ight. Now this is postmodern sex.
May 02 22:00:17 <Tanner> Tell the good people what you're listening to, Skyline.
May 02 22:00:18 <Tanner> Yeah.
May 02 22:00:21 <Tanner> That's right.
May 02 22:00:46 <Skyline> When I next listen to this, it will be played twice as loudly.
May 02 22:01:49 * Tanner is listening to Bombe A Mano by Mike Patton (Pranzo Oltranzista).
May 02 22:01:53 <Tanner> Almost done.
May 02 22:01:55 <Skyline> ...why the fuck am I a fan of "slurpee" on Facebook?
May 02 22:02:03 <Skyline> I NEVER DID THAT
May 02 22:02:07 <Skyline> I NEVER BECAME A FAN OF SLURPEE EVER
May 02 22:02:08 <Tanner> Because slupees are amazing?
May 02 22:02:09 <Skyline> WHAT THE FUCK
May 02 22:02:13 <Tanner> AHAHAHA
May 02 22:02:15 <Tanner> WHAT THE HELL?
May 02 22:02:18 <Skyline> I'm changing my password.
May 02 22:02:22 <Tanner> WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS THIS, SKYLINE?
May 02 22:02:23 <Skyline> Also, this is the best song on the album.
May 02 22:02:30 <Tanner> I'm leaving Metanet forever.
May 02 22:02:31 <Skyline> I'm loving this on last.fm right now.
May 02 22:02:40 <Tanner> Haha. Christ.
May 02 22:03:11 <Skyline> HOW ARE YOU NOT LOVING THIS SO MUCH
May 02 22:03:17 <Skyline> I FEEL LIKE ORGASMING
May 02 22:03:34 <Tanner> Carrots!
May 02 22:03:37 <Skyline> Hehe.
May 02 22:03:40 <Tanner> I knew they would come back!
May 02 22:03:45 <Tanner> Everything is okay!
May 02 22:03:48 <Tanner> Redemption!
May 02 22:03:54 <Tanner> The album is good!
May 02 22:03:57 <Tanner> Five stars!
May 02 22:04:12 <Skyline> HAH
May 02 22:04:15 <Skyline> THIS IS AMAZING
May 02 22:04:33 <Tanner> Honestly, this is so pretentious.
May 02 22:04:43 <Skyline> I DON'T CARE
May 02 22:04:44 <Tanner> This is the most prententious thing I've ever listened to.
May 02 22:04:45 <Skyline> I LOVE THAT
May 02 22:04:49 <Skyline> I LOVE PRETENTIOUSNESS
May 02 22:05:10 <Tanner> There's a special hell for people like you, Skyline.
May 02 22:05:19 <Tanner> It's called Queens and it's in New York City.
May 02 22:05:44 <Tanner> Done!
May 02 22:05:46 <Tanner> Finally!

[Borealis]

That, sir, was one of the most hilarious things I've read. Regarding that album, I'm in agreement with Tanner. There is /too far/.

[Lenny]

Borealis and I decided to have a listen through Fennesz's "Endless Summer". If you want to read, click below.

Fennesz - Endless Summer

[11:30] <@Borealis> Ready?
05[11:30] <Lenny> Yup.
05[11:30] <Lenny> Coutning down? :D
[11:30] <@Borealis> Yup.
[11:30] <@Borealis> 879...
[11:31] <@Borealis> 878...
[11:31] <@Borealis> 5
[11:31] <@Borealis> 4
05[11:31] <Lenny> I'm waiting for 747.
[11:31] <@Borealis> 3
[11:31] <@Borealis> 2
[11:31] <@Borealis> 2.
[11:31] <@Borealis> 1
[11:31] <@Borealis> Go!
06[11:31] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - Made in Hong Kong
05[11:31] <Lenny> What an interesting start.
[11:32] <@Borealis> Fennesz is quite simply the master of distortion.
05[11:32] <Lenny> My sister wishes to add that "my computer's dying".
05[11:32] <Lenny> Amazing distortion indeed.
[11:32] <@Borealis> Hah.
05[11:33] <Lenny> I like how the melody's kind of... second.
[11:33] <@Borealis> There's a great amount of processing going on.
[11:33] <@Borealis> Yeah.
[11:33] <@Borealis> Fennesz actually cites the Beach Boys as an influence.
05[11:34] <Lenny> Huh.
[11:34] <@Borealis> Youll hear it more in the next track, honest.
05[11:35] <Lenny> I was going to say I wouldn't have guessed from this one.
[11:35] <@Borealis> It's a good intro to the album.
[11:35] <@Borealis> It's like all of the leements going on at once.
[11:35] <@Borealis> *elements
06[11:35] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - Endless Summer
05[11:36] <Lenny> "Help, the leements are coming!"
[11:36] <@Borealis> Onoes!
05[11:36] <Lenny> Heh. Fennesz's leement.
[11:36] <@Borealis> You hear it though, right.
05[11:36] <Lenny> Oh, yeah. :D
[11:36] <@Borealis> RIGHT?!
05[11:36] <Lenny> The percussion is cool.
[11:37] <@Borealis> I like the sudden, complete change of guitar sound.
[11:37] <@Borealis> And, percussion?
05[11:37] <Lenny> Distorted percussion. Or, at least, it sounds like that.
[11:37] <@Borealis> Heh, I don't hear that, really.
[11:38] <@Borealis> But that's an interesting thing with Fennesz.
05[11:38] <Lenny> It's like a cymbal roll.
[11:38] <@Borealis> No instrument is clearly defined other than his guitar.
05[11:38] <Lenny> Yeah. It does make for interesting music.
05[11:38] <Lenny> Ah, crackle-less.
[11:38] <@Borealis> This is really a headphone-album though.
05[11:39] <Lenny> Better with stereo?
[11:39] <@Borealis> Oh yes.
05[11:39] <Lenny> Yeah, I figured.
[11:39] <@Borealis> Noises!
05[11:40] <Lenny> Oh, this is cool.
[11:41] <@Borealis> This part makes me want to fall asleep.
[11:41] <@Borealis> In a good way.
05[11:41] <Lenny> It's relaxing.
05[11:41] <Lenny> Especially with no distortion, so it's a lot calmer.
[11:42] <@Borealis> Yeah, it's the repetitive aspect of it aswell.
05[11:43] <Lenny> Yeah
[11:43] <@Borealis> Puts you into a trance more, actually.
05[11:43] <Lenny> I like how the background changes though.
[11:44] <@Borealis> I believe almost all of this is guitar.
[11:44] <@Borealis> Just manipulated beyond all recognition.
05[11:44] <Lenny> Huh.
06[11:44] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - A Year In A Minute
[11:45] <@Borealis> And this definitely puts you into a trance.
[11:45] <@Borealis> If the other song didn't.
05[11:45] <Lenny> I still find the distortion interesting.
05[11:45] <Lenny> It makes it harder to hear the melody.
05[11:46] <Lenny> If I were writing something like this I would have made that software, and emphasised the melody more so people would hear it easily.
[11:47] <@Borealis> This type of wall-of-sound distortion comes from shoegaze.
[11:47] <@Borealis> Particularly My Bloody Valentine.
05[11:47] <Lenny> Charming. :D
[11:47] <@Borealis> And the vibrato.
05[11:47] <Lenny> I don't think I've heard that though, strangely.
[11:48] <@Borealis> That's next, then.
[11:48] <@Borealis> :D
05[11:48] <Lenny> Cool :D
[11:48] <@Borealis> I honestly think this has an orchestral sound to it.
05[11:48] <Lenny> I like this bit.
[11:48] <@Borealis> The wall of distortion bit.
[11:49] <@Borealis> It sounds like it would work really well in that type of space.
05[11:49] <Lenny> Yeah
[11:49] <@Borealis> Y'know, an opera house or similar.
05[11:49] <Lenny> Where there's lots of space.
05[11:50] <Lenny> I like our Opera house, irrelevantly.
[11:50] <@Borealis> Haha.
[11:50] <@Borealis> There's an instrument I recognise!
06[11:50] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - Caecilia
05[11:50] <Lenny> Assuming I'm accepted into the music festival this year (and seeing as I was the only harpist this year I'd be surprised if I wasn't), I'll get to perform there.
05[11:50] <Lenny> I like this.
05[11:51] <Lenny> Oops, harpist.. two years ago. I think it was two years. Anyways.
[11:51] <@Borealis> That'd be awesome.
05[11:51] <Lenny> It would be.
[11:51] <@Borealis> Seeing as that place is essentially what people think of when they think of Sydney.
[11:51] <@Borealis> Along with the bridge.
[11:52] <@Borealis> Actually, I'm not sure what that instrument is. :)
05[11:52] <Lenny> Yeah.
05[11:52] <Lenny> It was glockenspeil, I thougt.
[11:52] <@Borealis> I think it's a glockenspiel.
05[11:52] <Lenny> I don't think I spelt that right.
05[11:52] <Lenny> Ah, yes. -ie. Oops.
[11:52] <@Borealis> It doesn't have much metallic-ness to it.
[11:53] <@Borealis> Unlike most of this album.
05[11:53] <Lenny> Yeah
05[11:53] <Lenny> Kinda funny as it's a metallic instrument.
06[11:54] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - Got to Move On
05[11:54] <Lenny> Hmm. This is interesting.
[11:55] <@Borealis> Incidentally, does it make you feel summer-y?
[11:55] <@Borealis> Seeing as it's Winter down there, or almost.
05[11:55] <Lenny> Not currently, but that earlier one did.
05[11:55] <Lenny> The end of "Endless Summer", with more trance-like aspects.
05[11:55] <Lenny> This seems more like a mechanical.. something-or-other.
05[11:55] <Lenny> Not winter though, which is nice.
[11:56] <@Borealis> I'd love to see this being made.
[11:56] <@Borealis> It's so intricate.
05[11:57] <Lenny> Yeah. There'd be so much mixing and stuff going on.
05[11:58] <Lenny> Ah, like this. This is more summery-y.
06[11:58] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - Shisheido
[11:58] <@Borealis> I can't imagine what chords these are.
05[11:58] <Lenny> I could guess and be wrong.
[11:59] <@Borealis> I like the 'rythym' instrument here.
[11:59] <@Borealis> *rhythm.
05[11:59] <Lenny> It really ads to it, yeah.
05[11:59] <Lenny> Hah. Best word for hangman.
[12:00] <@Borealis> Hehe.
[12:00] <@Borealis> It is.
[12:00] <@Borealis> It's a really 'deep' sound.
05[12:00] <Lenny> Hmm. This is quite possibly my favourite of the pieces.
[12:00] <@Borealis> It's like looking into the ditance and seeing music.
05[12:01] <Lenny> Yeah
06[12:01] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - Before I Leave
[12:01] <@Borealis> *distance.
05[12:01] <Lenny> Oh. I thought my computer was failing for a bit here.
[12:01] <@Borealis> :|
[12:01] <@Borealis> Hahahaha.
[12:01] <@Borealis> It's an interesting idea.
05[12:02] <Lenny> It's somewhat concerning, but good once I don't think about it dying.
[12:02] <@Borealis> But I feel it'd work more as a 'vignette' type of thing.
05[12:02] <Lenny> Yeah.
[12:02] <@Borealis> A short interlude.
05[12:02] <Lenny> A less concerning interlude.
[12:03] <@Borealis> Hehe.
[12:03] <@Borealis> It kinda disrupts the flow of the album a little.
05[12:03] <Lenny> Yeah.
05[12:04] <Lenny> The fact that Firefox is lagging incredibly doesn't help to calm me.
05[12:04] <Lenny> Nice fade-out though.
06[12:05] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - Happy Audio
05[12:05] <Lenny> Haha, what a name.
[12:05] <@Borealis> It's audio, and it's happy!
05[12:06] <Lenny> It sounds anxious.
[12:07] <@Borealis> If you close your eyes the groove get emphasised. Don't know why.
05[12:07] <Lenny> You focus more on hearing with eyes closed.
05[12:07] <Lenny> Secondary sense.
[12:08] <@Borealis> I can almost imagine a drumbeat over this.
05[12:09] <Lenny> That would be cool.
[12:10] <@Borealis> Do you hear the rotating speaker yet?
05[12:10] <Lenny> I think so.
[12:10] <@Borealis> It's an interesting touch.
[12:10] <@Borealis> More obvious in stereo.
[12:11] <@Borealis> I /really/ want to see Fennesz live.
[12:11] <@Borealis> His music would be incredible at high volume.
05[12:12] <Lenny> It would sound much better, I think. I should have brought headphones over.
[12:12] <@Borealis> And with a reverberant space.
05[12:12] <Lenny> Yeah
[12:14] <@Borealis> I think this is one of few albums that works with fadeouts.
[12:14] <@Borealis> Segues would be too difficult.
05[12:14] <Lenny> Yeah.
05[12:15] <Lenny> Especially when some ideas are just completely different.
[12:15] <@Borealis> Bit of an assault, that one.
[12:15] <@Borealis> It feels like a giant 10-minute crescendo.
05[12:15] <Lenny> Heh.
06[12:15] * @Borealis np: Fennesz - Badminton Girl
05[12:15] <Lenny> It did, yeah.
05[12:16] <Lenny> Oh, I like this.
[12:16] <@Borealis> These last two are actually bonus tracks.
05[12:16] <Lenny> Cool
[12:16] <@Borealis> They were written at the same time, just not released on the original album.
05[12:18] <Lenny> Nice silence.
05[12:18] <Lenny> *Nice use of, that is.
05[12:18] <Lenny> Huh. Why not?
[12:18] <@Borealis> Yeah.
[12:19] <@Borealis> I don't know.
[12:19] <@Borealis> They fit well, though.
05[12:19] <Lenny> This does. Hmm.
[12:19] <@Borealis> I think this album is very cathartic.
05[12:19] <Lenny> To Wikipedia, maybe.
[12:19] <@Borealis> And yet, at the same time, relaxing.
[12:20] <@Borealis> It's interesting the effect it has on you.
05[12:20] <Lenny> Yeah
05[12:20] <Lenny> Oh, this is cool, too./
05[12:20] <Lenny> Heh. "Endless Summer shares its title with a 1974 Beach Boys compilation and is often wrongly believed to be a Beach Boys remix album."
05[12:21] <Lenny> It says the bonus tracks were added in 2006, alnog with the new cover art.
05[12:21] <Lenny> "Genre: Ambient/Glitch"
[12:21] <@Borealis> And that's that.
05[12:21] <Lenny> What a cool genre.
05[12:21] <Lenny> Nice fade-out.
[12:22] <@Borealis> thoughts?
05[12:22] <Lenny> It was certainly interesting. I hadn't really hard (or heard of) glitch before that.
05[12:22] <Lenny> I liked the ambient parts of it a lot.
05[12:22] <Lenny> Which, I guess, was most of it, but the really ambient parts with just an instrument or two.
[12:23] <@Borealis> I'd say Shisheido is my favorite.
05[12:24] <Lenny> Hmm. I'd agree, I think.
05[12:25] <Lenny> "Endless Summer" was good, though. I liked the end of that a lot.
[12:25] <@Borealis> I wanted to let you listen to something that you'd never have found.
[12:26] <@Borealis> Because Fennesz is so unique, there's not really anything like him.
05[12:26] <Lenny> Which is true, I probably wouldn't have. It was really interesting.
[12:26] <@Borealis> Bar, of course, randomly picking up the CD becuase you like the cover.
[12:26] <@Borealis> Which is what I did.
[12:26] <@Borealis> :D
05[12:26] <Lenny> It's got a great cover though.
05[12:27] <Lenny> It's unusual, but cool.
