Haha, Patrick....

I don't keep too up with the new tunes (mostly I busy myself trying to find normal people singing kids' songs so I don't have to be tortured with the Wiggles....Barenaked Ladies' La La La La Lemon being my current favorite, along with the whole Curious George soundtrack and Sarah McLaughlin singing The Rainbow Connection), but Viva la Vida was released last calendar year, not just last school year, right?! that rocked! :)

drewtekulve · Senior Member

Correct-o. It was released like in June. Twas a good one.

Just curious what others think of new tunes, even if they don't care at all.

JeremyNeff · Veteran Member

1.The Twelves
2. Crystal Castles
3.Hot Chip
4.Cut Copy
5.The Black Ghosts

Beccawicks · Senior Member

Narrow Stairs was great. I dig the new Queen c.d. and the Guns N Roses cd was perhaps the most terrible comeback...ever. Viva La Vida was also good. Coldplay never fails me. I like the new Jason Mraz stuff and Britney and Beyonce never cease to impress in the realm of "music played at school dances".

I wanted to say that when i was in arizona i was watching some celeb news thing or something and they were like "coming up.. beyonce and her alter ego." i couldnt help but think of this class and that beyonce blog :) it was pretty funny i sometimes feel like we cover the news before it is even on television

Nothing is wrong with Benny. "Oh Benny" was meant in reverence.

Scottster · Senior Member

oh...sorry becca, i misunderstood your statement, does that mean you revere me? or was the "oh scott" the negative one and benny's the revered one?

Beccawicks · Senior Member

Why can't you both be revered?

Broadening the topic a little, what's your "signature song?" (what they'd play for your at-bat were you on the Dodgers lineup, or the background music to your E! True Hollywood Story profile)

patrickisoverrated · Senior Member

I would have them play Hey, Ya! by Outkast.
Ah, seventh grade memories!

mrs cav

you have no idea how much thought has been put into my walk up song for this year
because the varsity baseball team has walk up songs for our at bat
the trick is that it has to make a statement in under 15 seconds

i have yet to come up with a song

but hey
i still have about a month to come up with one

as of right now though i have a few choices

Check the Rhyme- A Tribe Called Quest
RE:Definition- Black Star
Somebody told me- The Killers
I just got this sypmphony going- The Fall of Troy
All Around the World- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Monkey Wrench- Foo Fighters

its impossible to choose one

just so every one knows
this is an incredibly important decision in baseball.

20 dollar by M.I.A. it uses the chorus of Where is my mind from the pixies which is also one a my faves.
and and and
dont trust me by 30h!3
and too hard for the _____'in radio by Mac Dre

ok done

drewtekulve · Senior Member

I wish i was in baseball strictly for the reason to pick my own song.

I would probably pick A Thousand Eyes by Crystal Antlers.

or probably Stress by Justice.
Something that's just all-out Crazy.

Beirut is a pretty good band/man, Allie. Fantastic Gypsie music.
But Sigur Ros is definitely pretty music. You can't lie there, even if you don't like the Icelandic jibberish that he sangs quite high-pitch'd-ly.

nahhh they do abolutely nothing for me i actually downloaded an array of different songs from limewire (yes i am a criminal and proud of it) by sigur and gave them a chance, but they were still bad.

jessmontano · Veteran Member

viva la vida by coldplay is pretty amazing. the concert was even better.
rise against's album appeal to reason is very gooooood.
death cab's narrow stairs is up there.

that can also depend from what album. To be honest, their debut, Von, was atrocious. I couldn't stand. But Ageatus Bryjun was an amazing and beautifully written album. Pretty much from that album and up their music has been phenomonal.

You should really check out the album Takk..
It's very relaxing.

To be honest, i am very surprised that you didn't like them. They seemed right up your alley... allie. hahah

coolkidchaney · Veteran Member

Signature song wow so many i'll pick 5

1. This Love - Maroon 5
2. Bittersweet- Kanye West
3. Delivery Man- The Cool Kids
4. Dance Dance - Fall out boy
5. Mowtownphilly- Boys 2 Men

I have never heard of them. Knowing you, you probably made them up to get a few laughs out of you and Charlie. ha. But if i am wrong, I will check them out. They sound interesting by the name alone. :)

No man, I'm serious.
They've got a similar vibe to Uninert Fluidity.
They're kinda indie-pop.

drewtekulve · Senior Member

Ok so kinda like Makin County Line? They have a good beat to them. I also hear Barramunda Wine was to release a new album this year. i think it's calleed Dance to the Unitinerant Paleopsychic or something weird lke that.

patrickisoverrated · Senior Member

Hmm...I don't know.
Were they influenced by Cataplasm?

drewtekulve · Senior Member

No. I watched their live DVD, and they said their main incluence was a band called Malgra in the 60s
