What music speaks to you?

Re: What music speaks to you?
Pretty much anything off of Weezer's Green Album. Basement Jaxx. Certain schlagers.Sam wrote:Are there certain songs that always make you happy?
Lots and lots of John Mayer. Those two Beck albums right after his girlfriend left him.sad?
Jeff mothereffing Buckley. Michael Jackson's Heal the World.want to hack your wrists into shreds?
Closer and Discipline by Nine Inch Nails. Honey by Tosca (not the remix, the original one).hump the nearest object?
One time I built a matter transporter, but things got screwed up (long story, lol) and I ended up turning into a kind of half-human, half-housefly monstrosity.

A song called Before You Go, by an acapella group from Ithaca.sad?
Most dance and popular music, but especially Lily Allen.want to hack your wrists into shreds?
I'd say that's me as per usual, but maybe something like Slow Like Honey performed by Fiona Apple puts some smoke in it.hump the nearest object?

There is then a need to guard against a temptation to overstate the economic evils of our own age, and to ignore the existence of similar, or worse, evils in earlier ages. Even though some exaggeration may, for the time, stimulate others, as well as ourselves, to a more intense resolve that the present evils should no longer exist, but it is not less wrong and generally it is much more foolish to palter with truth for good than for a selfish cause. The pessimistic descriptions of our own age, combined with the romantic exaggeration of the happiness of past ages must tend to setting aside the methods of progress, the work of which, if slow, is yet solid, and lead to the hasty adoption of others of greater promise, but which resemble the potent medicines of a charlatan, and while quickly effecting a little good sow the seeds of widespread and lasting decay. This impatient insincerity is an evil only less great than the moral torpor which can endure, that we with our modern resources and knowledge should look contentedly at the continued destruction of all that is worth having. There is an evil and an extreme impatience as well as an extreme patience with social ills.
I'll think about this and come back with a real answer, but it's hard to say if it's the music that influences my mood, or more likely, the music I listen to when I'm in that mood already. Anyway, will provide a real answer soon.

Re: What music speaks to you?
My musical tastes vary greatly. I'm currently listening to 20's and 30's swing music and that's keeping me pretty happy currently. Before that it was Modern Jazz. Before that it was Blues. Before that it was Dance. Before that it was 80's and so on.
It's very hard to peg any one thing in this as a result, as my tastes will shift within a week.
Bug Powder Dust - La Funk Mob Remix always makes me smile, but then again so does pretty much anything with a touch of funk to it Gotta Make Moves does the same thing, and it's not that great.
Sad is easy, though. Hide and Seek.

Really? She's about the only thing in popular music that I actually find decent. No auto-tuning on her voice, interesting lyrics for the most part, and the music isn't a complete digital mash. Why do you hate her so much?Marius wrote:Most dance and popular music, but especially Lily Allen.

Lately - say the last month or two - the music I've been listening to mostly makes me want to beat the shit out of something. NIN's Every Day is Exactly the Same, 1,000,000, and Demon Seed; Tool's Hooker With a Penis, Anima, Rosetta Stoned, and Vicarious; Thrice's The Arsonist and Paper Tigers; Boysetsfire's After the Eulogy, So Long... And Thanks for the Crutches, and (Compassion) As Skull Fragments on the Wall; various and sundry RATM. I think I'm just going to drop all of that onto a playlist for when I start lifting again, honestly.
Miles Davis can mellow me out like nothing else save maybe Radiohead - although How to Disappear Completely and Videotape are pretty /wrists-inducing.
I maintain that it is utterly impossible to be upset when listening to, well, anything by the Vandals, really. Less Than Jake and NOFX tend to induce stupid-hyper states from me as well.
Music doesn't make me horny. That's honestly a really odd reaction, to me.

Ooh, that's a good one. Can't click the link right now but if it's the song Imogen Heap does (as well, maybe?) then I'm totally there with you.Crazy Elf wrote:Sad is easy, though. Hide and Seek.

Not even close. The only thing I found upsetting about the Imogen Heap song was the excessive digitisation of her voice.Eva wrote:Ooh, that's a good one. Can't click the link right now but if it's the song Imogen Heap does (as well, maybe?) then I'm totally there with you.
Re: What music speaks to you?
Hobo Blues always calms me down. Chain of Fools gets me happy quick. I don;t have songs that make me actually sad, but David Bowie's Wild is the Wind'll do the trick.
Also, uh, I giggle by butt off when I listen to Motherlovers...

Funny, yet sad. Kinda like getting tit-fucked by a clown.
Re: What music speaks to you?
A bunch of songs off of Less Than Jake's Loosing Streak, a bunch of Weezer, some Dave Mathews Band, One Fierce Beer Coaster (Bloodhound Gang), Ludacris' Move Bitch, and a smattering of other assorted songs.Sam wrote:Are there certain songs that always make you happy?
Radiohead.sad?
I'm not sure what this one means. Do we mean songs that we hate, or songs that make you even more depressed than 'sad'?want to hack your wrists into shreds?
Pretty Hate Machine (NIN), some of Garbage's V 2.0, some of Snake River Conspiracy.hump the nearest object?

I haven't gotten laid in three years, so I'm afraid the test would be inconclusive as the answer is pretty much always "yes."Sam wrote:Really?! Guy, you are missing out. Can you do me a favour?Salvation122 wrote:Music doesn't make me horny. That's honestly a really odd reaction, to me.
Please can you listen to Goldfrapp's Black Cherry album and then report back on whether it made you want to shag?
I was kind of confused why hack into your wrists was a different category than sad, though...Sam wrote:Lin : hrm, that's funny, hack into your wrists has always meant sad to me, it makes sense it can also be an act of self-descrutive hate too.
Gimme both!

Speaking of hacking your wrists. Want me to have one of my girls come over your way? I know this girl that works at BW3's...man she can do things that make even me smile in surprise. Just say the word dog.Salvation122 wrote:I haven't gotten laid in three years, so I'm afraid the test would be inconclusive as the answer is pretty much always "yes."
In the category 'Hump nearest object': Massive Attack's Dissolved Girl. So charged.

Happy: Most decent melodic death metal will do. Old skool thrash metal, too (Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica). Sometimes even groove metal (Sepultura, Pantera). If you don't know what I'm talking about it all probably just sounds like people fighting each other with chainsaws to you.
Sad: Hm, doom metal, I suppose.
Hack your wrists into shreds: Rap and R&B. The very sound of R&B music enrages me like few other things are able to.
Hump the nearest object: Music doesn't affect me like that. Asses do.

Yeah, I'm with Sal on that one. That's a reaction I don't really get. As for the rest...hell, whatever answers I give will change by next week.Salvation122 wrote:Music doesn't make me horny. That's honestly a really odd reaction, to me.
Screw liquid diamond. I want to be able to fling apartment building sized ingots of extracted metal into space.

Happy? "Military Fashion Show" by And One. Itr has one of the best beats that always perks me up. Steve Naghavi also has picture perfect hair (this added for Zam and Eva to check out).
Sad? "The Living Years" by Mike and Mechanics. Bothered me quite a bit when I was younger and has only gotten worse given what's happened in the last few years.
Wrist Hacking? "Creep" by Radiohead. The hacking is preceded by ripping the offending music player out, smashing it into bits, and using the shrapnel to make the cuts.
Hump things? "Cold" by VNV Nation. Go listen. You'll understand.
...hrm, need one more category:
Hit things? "Spilling Blood" by Necessary Response. I can't listen to it without wanting to: a) go hit a bag for the duration or b) think it would be the perfect fighter entrance music.

Happy Music: it's a give or take her. Aesop Rock tends to make me fairly happy. There's a good amount of Sublime which also makes me smile. Charly Prine also makes me smile.
Sad: Gary Allen "Smoke Rings in the Dark", alot of MoTown records, etc.
Rage-y: Anti-Flag!
