Ever Hear of...

forrestina by forrestinaOG 2002 · Oct 4, 2004 · 616 views · ·

Rilo Kiley - chick sounds kinda like Jewel. They have a very 70s/80s feel, but every song I've heard so far sounds different from the last.

Put up more artists. Always interested in new stuff.

L.L. Cool J's song HEAD-SPRUNG! I don't like much hip hop, but MAN, that song rules! "everybody get our heeaaad-sprung!"

Kaki King

I'd almost describe her as the passive-aggressive sister to Badly Drawn Boy. Perhaps a liberalised Lisa Loeb and more bearable than Ani.

If you have Quicktime, here's a little sample:
http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/KakiKing/video/KakiKing_ConanVidFull_ref.mov

Sometimes she uses the guitar in a very coo percussion way. And I dug that finger tapping.

Check out her other songs tho too. One's not enough. she's at www.kakiking.com and also on mySpace.

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

Good, maybe things can get back on topic now.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

whats a theremin?

theremin thereminOG 2002 · fivezero

I know that you know already, and that you're asking only for it to be revealed to others. But, I've already explained it to the eZabel community ages ago when I created the user name. Since I was prompted tho, I shall explain again. A theremin is a musical instrument that was invented in the early 1900s by a Russian scientist named, Lev Termen. Still, to this day the only instrument that can be played without touching, and has similarities to the cello (as far as method in playing is concerned, and number of octaves, and sound can be sometimes be similiar, but depends on user's settings), except is electronic, has no physical neck and pitch of the notes are played by person's distance in relation to antennae, within a 6 ft circle. Sustain is controlled by antennae as well.

what's a moog?

theremin thereminOG 2002 · fivezero

Robert Moog made a bunch of things. Depends what you're referring to. Synth modules, keyboard synths, theremins, pedals, what have you.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 · theremin

Synth is cheating.

theremin thereminOG 2002 · fivezero

what do you mean?
did you not read my entire comment?

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 · theremin

dude Motion city soundtrack uses a moog. Good stuff..

theremin thereminOG 2002 · hunkpapap

what? havent heard the sdtrk. supposing you mean a keyboard synth by saying moog.. what model?

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 · theremin

no no dude, their album says guitar, bass, drums and moog...

theremin thereminOG 2002 · hunkpapap

Then they're dumb.. they should've specified. I bet they even pronounce it mög instead of mōg. I venture to guess they might mean something like the minimoog keyboard synth if they just put plain "moog." But yeh, it's always overlooked that moog made and still makes more then keyboards. Funnily enough, I think he even started out making aetherphones (theremins) before keyboards and modules. I, myself own a Big Briar (Robert Moog's company) etherwave model theremin. Late model of course.. I bet those first theremins Moog made are worth a ton. Not as much as the RCA company's theremin circa 1920 (I think was the year), but still a ton.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 · theremin

Seriously, when was the last time you took a dump?

theremin thereminOG 2002 · fivezero

Haven't heard of the band, but if you say so

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

The Reindeer Section

..The singer is Snow Patrol's singer & there's also members of Belle & Sebastian. So, it's very likely you'll dig it if you like those two groups.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE!? maybe you have. their new album is out as of Tuesday. get it. it's a keeper.

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004 ·

Rachel Yamagata (1/2 japanese 1/2 caucasian VERY PRETTY), favorite song, Worn Me Down. Mildly raspy, very gritty.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 ·

ooh i like!

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

I find that Asian is like Vodka for me. I don't like it by itself, but when you mix it, it is great. And you can mix it with anything and it will turn out great...

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

yay yayOG 2004 ·

bob nanna has always been one of my favorites, but hey mercedes got on my nerves after a while, nothing beats braid its like a whole different world of fans, music, people

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

i have barely heard anything by them. request: braid cd. hehe

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Braid is good. The singer sucks though.

yay yayOG 2004 ·

hehe yeah, the singing is way off, but for some reason he makes it work, at least for me and select others

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 ·

I <3 Braid

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

I ♥ Braid's music. VERY good.

[thanksian]

that looks like a little kidney or a microscopic map of Africa.

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004 · deanh77

i think it looks like a diamond.

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 ·

I love Braid. Hey Mercedes doesn't impress me too much, though. I'll remain faithful, as I did when Blake moved from Jawbreaker to Jets to Brazil, hoping their old sound will show on a few tracks.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

we can stil get to the ftp?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

whoa one of the dudes in this band Blake Soper was Ronald Foster 'Ronnie' Pinsky in Salute Your Shorts

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

you're joking. you know what... i think that Silver Spoons kid is a drummer in a punk band. I vaguely remember hearing that on VH1 i think it was.. like where are they now, probably. Don't remember what band tho? Maybe I'll care enough to google it someday. However, I can't be bothered with doing so at the moment. hehe

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

Rick Schroder?? you've got to be kidding me.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

i doubt it. that jack*rabbit* is still an actor. nypd blue, i believe.

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

He could do two things at once.. a lot of people do

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

Wait... you're not thinking the Zack Morris bloke are ya? or are both of them NYPDers...

Nonetheless, plenty of actors are musicians and plenty of musicians are actors.

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004 ·

Aww that's so cute & sooo British! Do you actually say bloke? I LUV IT!

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

I unconsciencely will say a lot of things like that.. and then realise should I say that or not.. and finally say.. why not, I'll say what I want.. why should I care. ..besides, I'm not a Yankee really anyhow 'cause I'm part Native American. The Yankees took me land!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 · theremin

hhahah, wow

theremin thereminOG 2002 · originalsnob
