[Wow]

Do any of you guys listen to Black Eyes???


I do. Awesome band.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Do you happen to have the album?

[Wow]

Yep.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Can you please YSI it to me?

[whiteminority]

Anyone heard of Occam's Razor?

[tornpictures]

yes

[Wow]

Can you please YSI it to me?


Yeah sure. I'll hit you up with a link sometime today.


/steals Black Eyes from torn since I just remembered I have 1% of my music collection on this computer.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Alright, thanks.

[SGlove]

Can someone help me out here.
I wondering if there are certain modes or scales that go into emo music, or even post-hardcore.
Maybe like typical chords, as well as tempo and time signature?

I just started taking lessons and am slowly figuring this out.

[deadohiosky9]

just play whatever feels right. there aren't any "emo" chords. it seems fairly free form to me, the style is all over the place.

[kellyisdead]

you guys should check out ten falls forth, cant get enough

http://www.purevolume.com/tenfallsforth

[deadohiosky9]

tennfallsforth isn't emo or a hardcore related band in the least, so they don't belong in this forum. take it to pop-punk or something.

tons and tons of octave chords and lots of minor 7ths in less chaotic stuff. Other than that, whatever you think sounds good. Lot's of bands seem to make up chords as they go along, using alot of dissonant notes to throw things off. Just mess around and see what sounds good. Don't worry about time signatures or beats either. Emo doesn't seem to focus on anything like that.

[SGlove]

I fugred as much.
I just seem to notice certain chords at time that I can spot throughout.

Alright.
Thank you guys.

Funeral Diner is delicious.

Shut up.

[deadohiosky9]

why do people ask themselves how to write an emo song? good god....

[R.Borlax]

i know that from somewhere.
my mind as blank at the moment though, mind telling me?

[Wow]

Cap'n Jazz - Little League.

[SGlove]

why do people ask themselves how to write an emo song? good god....

I'm not asking how to.
I'm asking what typically goes into writing one.
Chords, scales, modes, time signatures, et cetera, et al.
It was out of curiosity since I'm learning what I'm actually writing.
I like to make sense out of it.

It's ok.
You can calm down now..

Because they are n00bs.

[DFelon204409]

Shut up.

Why?

[DFelon204409]

why do people ask themselves how to write an emo song? good god....

The reason all you people trashing SGlove are idiots is because you don't understand what theory is. Theory is a means to understand what people create aurally. Emo bands do have particular theoretical techniques and formulas that can be observed and understood using theory. SGlove's idea of using theory as a way to understand how bands make emo songs in order to understand how to make his own is completely legitimate.

[Wow]

Why?


There's no correct structure or technique or proper chords or anything that goes into writing an emo song. You shouldn't be told what's common in different styles. Play what you want, how you want, when you want, as long as you think it's good.

[DFelon204409]

That is brash idealism. There is theory to everything. Just because you can't explain it with anything other than "no correct structure or technique or proper chords or anything" doesn't mean its not there.

That's not 100% true. Lots of bands use similar chords. Mostly octave chords, (7 8 x 9 10 7)or the simple 7 8 9 chord (Mohinder for example). Having said this, I'm pretty sure that most of the kids who started dissing SGlove are going to grab their guitars right now to try out those chords.

edit: The first one is from high E to low E, second one is from low E upwards

[Wow]

Sure there's theory to everything, but you shouldn't take the common theory and base your own music off of it, is what I'm saying.

Yes it's not 100% true, and yes there are common chords, but I'm saying there's no proper way to write an emo song.

[tornpictures]

Lots of tempo changes etc too

[DFelon204409]

Yes it's not 100% true, and yes there are common chords, but I'm saying there's no proper way to write an emo song.

Then explain why so many emo bands sound so similar? Are you really going to maintain that people in emo bands have such good ears that they can emulate the exact chords and stylings of each other by ear? That's BS. They talk to each other, in real life and in places like here, and figure out common theoretical ground and use that as a means of emotional release.

[SGlove]

When did everyone's testes get twisted?
I honestly had no idea this would create an argument.

I said it before, I'll say it again.
I'm not going to be ripping off any "emo theory."
I just want to know what I'm listening to.
What chords would use to create a specific mood, as well as what scales, and key and modes I would be able to use to augment this mood that certain emo bands are able to obtain.
For all you know, I could be playing blues and just want to broaden the whole genre of blues by adding this touch of hardcore to it.

Look, dude, I know there's common chords, I know there's common techniques, I know that and that a lot of bands use those, but I'm saying there is no PROPER way to write an emo song.

I don't have a real problem with learning about what you're listening to, I had a problem with Wizard telling you how to write a song.

[DFelon204409]

Sure there's theory to everything, but you shouldn't take the common theory and base your own music off of it, is what I'm saying.

In my music theory class, we had an assignment to finish an opening six measures of an unknown piece. After analyzing the form and structure of the excerpt we composed the rest. Interestingly, the structure was so tight in the first six measures that nearly everybody's next 4 measures were the same. The rest of the peices sounded sort of similar too but most couldn't be distinguished from each other on a validity to the untrained ear. I say validity because I composed my whole thing theoretically. Other people sat down at a piano and did it out, but I did not. I was able to create something authentic by means of undermining the point of composition. Sure, emo uses unusual chords and structure but they do use chords and structure, and it can be analyzed theoretically. I could make a heartwrenching emo song using formulas and you would never know the difference between that and an authentic emo song. That's the power of theory.

[deadohiosky9]

SGlove, i misunderstood your question. my bad dude.

[Wow]

Oh of course dude, I know all that. Once again, I'm just saying there isn't a proper way to write one.


And yes, theory owns. My dad teaches me quite a bit when he visits.

[SGlove]

Hey it's all good.
At least there were no ego's going round just doin the I'm right, your wrong thing.

Wow, I didn't read it as him telling me how to, but more along the lines of him tryin to help me out.
But whatever man.
You live, learn, then you get luvs.

damnit i just died on the ****in chemical plant


:(:( sonic 2 is hard

[Special Brew]

I don't have a real problem with learning about what you're listening to, I had a problem with Wizard telling you how to write a song.
I didn't tell him anything close to how to write his music. All I said was a few common things I've seen in emo music, and told him to play whatever he wants. Then you get pissed at this, and iterate the same damned thing. Maybe you should learn to read posts before you respond.

I think HARDCORE is just about being CRUCIAL and EMOTIONAL. THEORY has no PLACE IN THE INTENSITYYYY.

I ALSO QUOTE pg.99* IN MY ARGUMENTS!





*Not really though because they stole the quote from Kurt Cobain.

[Wow]

Wizard, shut up. I read your post, don't use the tired "Learn to read" line against me. If anything, this would have to do with reading comprehension.


This is the internet. This is text. You should know the way you say something has a dramatic effect on how it's interpretted so when using text, chose your words carefully or someone may take it a way it wasn't intended.

You people bitching about SGlove and Wizard are just trying to boost your authentic image by being like, "there's no way to write emo man. It's from your heart." By doing so, you end up looking like bigger tools than he does. He was just asking a simple question and like Dfelon said, one of the main thigns about theory is analyzing different songs within a genre and finding similarities in structure and form.

i think he's calling you a tool dude. you should get pissed and kick his as's.

All's i gots to do is cross a bridge.. I think..
or something..

No beef,
just wondering if he was, why?

[deadohiosky9]

haha i was just joking around

[zombies111]

I think it would be sweet if someone did a lesson on emo guitar for sputnik.

[deadohiosky9]

speaking of Zombies...I finished reading Stephen King's latest novel "Cell" earlier today. f'ucking awesome book, i highly recommend it.

[zombies111]

is it crazy?

i've heard awesome things about it. i wanted to read it after I finish the other two books i've started.

1. There is no proper way.

Why does grind suck?

[deadohiosky9]

dude grind is so f'ucking bad.

[pixiesfanyo]

/likes grind.

[Matt?]

some grind is alright if it's interesting

that's the problem i have with grind, it all sounds the same to me

[RetiredAt21]

Grind is awesome.

[deadohiosky9]

i don't see why people like it. its just a bunch of random noise played fast with indistinguishable guitar riffs and vocals that sound like Satan vomiting on christians. the only interesting thing about grind are the funny song titles.

[cbmartinez]

I like grind stuff if it's particulary heavy or weird/inventive. I don't understand people who listen to all grind, most of it does sound the same. But like I said, some bands do it well by making it unique or just being br00tal.

[pixiesfanyo]

i guess grindesque bands are better.

straight up grind is boring.

[Matt?]

damn i have 100 megabytes of space left on my computer :( what to do what to do...

[pixiesfanyo]

delete the vids/ warcraft 3

Me. My computer's in my room, my door locks, and I have headphones. I am a superior life form.

Why does In/Humanity own so much?

[whiteminority]

It doesn't.

[whiteminority]

Because they are from South Carolina. Palmetto power violence bringing the own.

[cbmartinez]

WE ARE THE KIDS WE ARE THE KIDS WE ARE THE WE ARE THE WE ARE THE KIDS

[deadohiosky9]

It doesn't.

Because it sounds like someone vomiting while indistinct palm muted and noisy guitar riffs are played fast in the background. it sucks.

[Wow]

Pretty much.

[Matt?]

I don't see how its even considered to be music.....

I don't see how its even considered to be music.....


music
n.

1. The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.

Low, noisy, palm muted notes are still technically melody.

[deadohiosky9]

interesting.

[BridgeToSolace]

interesting.

Yeah, I know, it isn't really.

It's still a silly statement to make, though (yours).

When I was about 15 I went to a friends party who had an older brother that was about 20 who also had a bunch of friends over.

They thought it would be funny to make me play beer pong and get me completely trashed.

something like that?

[DaveToopes]

Yeah something like that. I love the organ in that song.

[Wow]

Kodan Armada are seriously overrated and only have about two interesting moments.

Whoa that Xiu Xiu talk came outta no where. Interesting coincidence with me reviewing their album A Promise for sputnik like 5 days ago.

[Matt?]

Kodan Armada are seriously overrated and only have about two interesting moments.
i'd say the first maybe twenty seconds of that first song, the organ part, is the only part i really find interesting

after that it's pretty poor

I'm trying to be cynical? No. I don't like TKA. I'm stating my opinion. I don't like most of the bands discussed here so my opinion will be negative a lot of the time.


I Was Moffy are awesome.


Last I checked, this wasn't a contest of leetness; this was me stating my opinion.

[tornpictures]

Brent played drums in Burned Out Bright.
I have two excluuuuusive Walls tracks off the new Lp that will soon come out. (EP tracks+ a couple more)

Who else totally isn't feeling the new Xiu Xiu record?

[tornpictures]

And dude I didn't seen Walls live, I saw Louise Cyphre live and bought the EP at that show.

[Wow]

I haven't heard the new Xiu Xiu yet. I had it on my old computer but got really into The Appleseed Cast before I could give it a chance.

[Saturday Supercade]

yeah I play hold em online.

Yeah me to, I play at pokerroom.com I also play it with friends but they are getting tired losing money to me all the time:)

On the bright side, better during break than during school when you'd have to do all the makeup work, right?

-Gav

[DaveToopes]

That was my thinking. I HATE making up work.

[cobert]

For some reason, my schools spring break isnt until next month.

[DaveToopes]

I don't like how early mine is because the weather still sucks.

[cobert]

Well I kinda dont like how late mine is because everyone has off right now and i dont.

[DaveToopes]

Oh, for me it's the other way around. We're the only ones out around here that I know of.

[cobert]

That sucks. Its still freezing out where i live, so i guess i am kinda glad im not off yet, i take back what i said before.

[RetiredAt21]

It's freezing here too. I hate xLancasterx.

[DaveToopes]

Weather here is always changing, it snowed earlier in the week but then yesterday it was back up to around 50. Can't count on the weather at all here.

[cobert]

It's freezing here too. I hate xLancasterx.

Sup man.

Did your 'best friends forever' band ever get off the ground? If so, do you have a myspace or a purevolume i can see?

[RetiredAt21]

Nah dude. I'm not even friends with that kid anymore.

[Wow]

Oh god the irony.

[cobert]

Nah dude. I'm not even friends with that kid anymore.

Pshhh.

I already lost my bands guitarist, and now the person thats supposed to be our singer (whos afraid to sing) is about to leave. Pretty much its me on bass and a drummer, but we have a few people were looking at for guitar. If it comes to it, ill be the singer, but i'd prefer to have someone not playing and instrument doing that, i like the connection they would have with the crowd.

EDIT:
Oh god the irony.

Exactly what i was thinking.

[RetiredAt21]

Oh god the irony.

Hahaha, I know dude.

[Saturday Supercade]

Now I still dont know wtf beer pong is..

[cobert]

Now I still dont know wtf beer pong is..

Go to a party sometime. No really though, go for it.

[Wow]

Now I still dont know wtf beer pong is..


You get those red/blue plastic cups and have 10-20 depending on how awesome you are. Each person gets 5-10 and you fill them 1/3rd of the way with beer and then stack them in a pyramid. You take a pingpong ball and try to bounce it into the other person's cups and if you do, they have to drink one of them. First person to drink all their beer loses.


K?

[Matt?]

then wouldn't you want to lose?

[cobert]

Well, im sure even if you won you'd end up drinking all your beer anyways.

[Matt?]

god i hate being sick fu.ck

:-/

sucks because i went to school today, being sick without staying home from school never is fun

[cobert]

I need to stop staying home from school every time i get sick, ive only missed like, 6 days this nine weeks, but if you miss 10 you fail your electives.

Actually, nevermind, the next 9 weeks begins next week. I cant miss 4 more.

And while were talking about being sick, i have a wierd fungal dermititus. Thats a fancy term for an itchy rash.

[DFelon204409]

You guys are dumb. Beer pong is played with a paddle. Beirut is when you shoot it in by hand. Bouncing it counts as two cups but can be blocked by the opponent. If you win you stay on the table, thus allowing you to play more and drink more. The loser drinks all the remaining cups so if you lose it's bad because it's a lot of beer at once and if you win it's good because it's more alcohol over time and I mean hell, you win.

[Wow]

People call different things different names depending on the region, D.


I play counter-strike and a common thing we do we refer to as "Faking Ramp" but on the west coast it's called "Credit Card." Same thing, different name. Just depends on where you're from.

[Matt?]

i've been wanting to start playing counter strike for a while now

not very good at it though

[cobert]

My old guitarists band. He has our old drummer (whos still in my band) playing bass and some other kid on drums. He sings in one song. Absolutely terrible vocals. And i wouldnt call them post-hardcore.

http://www.purevolume.com/dramaticreenactment

Ack, its bad, or at least worse than i thought it would be. This is the reason he started his own band and left the one he was in with me. It really irks me that he said he left because i wasnt 'trying new things', even though he said all of my ideas were 'wierd and gay'. Bleh.

[Matt?]

i just listened to every song

some weren't too bad, some were

singing was bad though

[cobert]

Yeah, ive heard the first 2 on there since he wanted to play them when we were still in the same band. Opposable thumbs was kinda catchy.

[Matt?]

yeah i liked that one


man xiu xiu/ bunkbed split is really great

[Wow]

i've been wanting to start playing counter strike for a while now

not very good at it though


I play professionally 'cause I'm cool.


Well, used to. Team disbanded so now we're not sponsored anymore. :(

[Matt?]

wow that's sweet


i'd get into it probably but i'm too cheap to buy it

[cobert]

My old friends dad used to be on the #1 ranked team in a game called tribes.

[Matt?]

i remember it but i never played it


edit: you guys should really check out bunkbed if you haven't heard them, well i've only heard the song on the xiu xiu split but it's really cool ****. kinda post rockish i guess, with good vocals

luvin it

[Wow]

wow that's sweet


i'd get into it probably but i'm too cheap to buy it


Uh, it's $20 to get it, along with 4 other CD keys. That's if you're playing 1.6, of course. You can buy Source for like $30 but Source is awful.

[Jawaharal]

My old friends dad used to be on the #1 ranked team in a game called tribes.
I remember tribes, that game was the shiznite.

[cobert]

I remember tribes, that game was the *shazbot.

*fixed.

[RetiredAt21]

then wouldn't you want to lose?

Hahahaha, yes.

[Matt?]

battletoads and double dragons: the ultimate team

this game is really hard on one player, i've never played it alone :(

[pixiesfanyo]

i remember Spider Man Maximum Carnage was a pretty hard game.

[rememberthis]

i haven't played that one yet

[Matt?]

it's not very fun

[whiteminority]

Super Mario 64 is honestly the best video game ever made.

[Matt?]

never played it, i still am mad at myself for never beating majoras mask on n64

[Matt?]

milkshakes are one of the greatest creations

[Wow]

Steak 'N Shake's Very Very Strawberry milkshake = god.

K?

Typical US thing I suppose. We've got numerous games with cards and dices involving beer but none with pingpong balls.

ps Sinaloa and Ampere were great!!

[DFelon204409]

It's all about beirut man. There's nothing more satisfying than shooting a ball into a cup.

[bottlerocket]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is my favorite of all time, with a bunch of other games at the top of my list: Mario Kart 64, Mario 64, Sonic the Hedgehog, Contra, Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, Final Fantasy (any of them), Earthbound, Megaman...oh man, soooo many good games.

SNES and N64 are my favorite platforms, by far.

legend of zelda ocarina of time- when i beat that it was epic, it was like sheer joy of completing a game i'd played for so long. so fun so perfect.

mario kart 64- i sucked at this game but it was still loads of fun, stupid bananas pissed me off though, i'd always get screwed by those dumb items and stuff. i sucked at combat mode or whateer it was.

sonic the hedgehog- this game is boss. i played this so much years ago when genesis came out. 2 is definitely the best, metal sonic is a bitch, but the music in this game is just awesoem. the air zone when you're on tails' plane is just the best song ever.

contra- i never played 1 or 2 but 3 is one of my favorite games. so intense and hard, i suck at it, but it's still so sick. man i love the rapid fire rockets. i always die on the second level when it switches perspective though, it always takes me by suprise.

chrono trigger- maybe my favorite rpg of all time, this game was so epic! ahh i love it

megaman- way too hard for me :( :( i lack the skills to be good at this game, but i have 7 and X and they're both pretty fun


man gav you have cool videogame taste, i agree about the snes and n64 as best systems

a lot of gameboy games are pretty fun too, i like the zelda gameboy versions


this thread is now maybe 20% dorkier

[pixiesfanyo]

Earthbound was the mother ****in' ****.

Especially because it came in that big *** box.

Side note: How did Coheed and Cambria go from SSTB to that gayness they play now.

[Matt?]

i dunno i didn't really like them in the first place, but i really don't like their new single, the vocals sound so out of place, but they're so high up in the mix.

i remember i had like a guide to beat earthbound, because it was too hard for me to beat without it. fun game


castlevania, that game is boss. man what a sweet game, i haven't played it in ages.

man why does no system have as fun and cool games as snes.

[deadohiosky9]

super mario 64 is amazing.

[Wow]

Dude it was all about GoldenEye. If you disagree, you are wrong.

[Mute Print]

GoldenEye was so awesome. I think I still have it somewhere.

Truth.

The Sega Genesis was my favorite system. The playstation was all right but Final Fantasy VII and Crash Bandicoot 2 made owning it ****ing awesome.

[whiteminority]

I think I am gonna have a heart attack: La Quiete, Phoenix Bodies, and Sadville are playing in Knoxville (20 minutes from me) in August.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I got a question: Are Noise and Noisecore real genres?

[pixiesfanyo]

I got a question: Are Noise and Noisecore real genres?

Yes.

If you want some good noise there are basically the big three: Lightning Bolt, Black Dice, and Wolf Eyes. Melt Banana plays second fiddle.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I already listen to Black Dice and Wolf Eyes. I love Wolf Eyes. I saw Noise used as a genre and I didn't know if it was correct or not. Thanks.

[RetiredAt21]

Melt Banana sucks.

[Luxor]

Lightning Bolt rules.

[RetiredAt21]

I heard some Lightning Bolt awhile ago, I can't remember if I liked it or not though. Does anyone have any links to MP3s of their songs?

[Matt?]

i'll send you some if you want

do you have soulseek

or aim?


http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=44218028

herre's a link if you wanan here thenm just like a song or something

[DaveToopes]

I can't get into Lightning Bolt, I'll try listening to them again.

[Matt?]

they're good every once in a while i don't listen to them much

[bottlerocket]

Dude it was all about GoldenEye. If you disagree, you are wrong.

How the hell did I forget GoldenEye?! :(

That game rules.

-Gav

[Matt?]

so fun, i was the master of the stack on multiplayer.

i'd just go upstairs and proxi EVERYTHING. so funny when people blew up. so humiliating when i blew myself up though...

[cobert]

Half Life > Goldeneye > Every other game ever made.

[Wow]

Goldeneye is > Halflife and all of it's mods.


And that's coming from someone who plays a half life mod for money.

[Matt?]

the problem for me with goldeneye, was that level where you have to protect that bitch natallya or whatever her name was, in the computer room

f.uck that

[cobert]

pshhhh.

I bought half life for the ps2 just to play the co-op game. It was secks.

Ive actually never been big on half-life mods.
