I have Kayo Dot. Haven't heard Maudlin, but according to wiki its similar but without the lucid dreaming or something.

Kage 12-28-2007 01:19 PM

You've got it all wrong.

TojesDolan 12-28-2007 01:57 PM

It is for most amerika!

Neoteric 12-31-2007 06:40 PM

tojes, give me some good tips on songwriting.

TojesDolan 12-31-2007 07:32 PM

Depends on what kind of music you're playing.

I like rhythmic dissonance and overall dissonance because I'm a fag and I truly believe that harmonic/melodic music sucks, so I try to keep my music shifting and what not.

For the most part, I write very personal lyrics for the music, but some people like to keep it impersonal.

So, what kind of musician are you?

Neoteric 12-31-2007 07:35 PM

i dunno, i like personal lyrics so give me some tips on that

TojesDolan 12-31-2007 07:40 PM

Don't make them cheesy.

Don't make gay refrains.

Don't use an excessive amount of "me" "her" "him".

Neoteric 12-31-2007 07:42 PM

your advice is so inspiring.

TojesDolan 12-31-2007 07:48 PM

Well, there's no particular lineaments on how a personal piece should be written. Take Kayo Dot's A pitcher of Summer, for instance:

[I]One morning, before the leaves began changing
I caught a piece of summer and poured it into a pitcher;

This I placed in the cellar on a shelf collecting dust .
Autumn, then winter, rose up from the sea, and my
Garden was a garden filled with unbroken snow.

No flower strained its face to the ice giants' whisper,
No life coloured the vision of a newborn Spring babe.
My cellar-water dripping into a pail

And I lifted my piece of summer
Like a piece of memory or a dream

Like these, caught on film
And carried it to the garden floes,
The wind turning drifting stars to madness.

Poured forth gracefully, this ctheric tincture
Lifts winter's coat-of-arms with coaxing aromas and electricity.
Used with vigilance, a Pitcher of Summer stirs a memory into swooning,
And bravely, the flowers of the past will stretch their limbs into the sky
While snow falls quietly all around.[/I]

I personally think the lyrics are homo as fu‪ck, but still it reads so awesomely I can stop wishing I had thought of this first.

I mean they are not homo

They're cool =(

[I]It never hurt this much before,[/I]
[I][B]And I feel I'm courting Saturn[/B].[/I]
[I]The Twelve-Eyed Secret gazes through a prism,[/I]
[I]Staring into raindrops swirling slow[/I]
[I]It lifts its horrible heads[/I]
[I][B]With lidless orbs of limitless vision[/B].[/I]
[I]I dream with fluid movements in a lake[/I]
[I]The ripples cast from skipping stones[/I]
[I]We speak below a gushing mind,[/I]
[I]Crouching in a corner, hid behind a box[/I]
[I]Full of Worms and stalking shadows.[/I]
[I]Magnetism draws me to a cone of space;[/I]
[I]I sift still through hours of its plasma,[/I]
[I]Biding time until the clocks collapse.[/I]
[I]Music shattered my spine on the steps outside;[/I]
[I][B]I cannot move; my liquid breathing[/B][/I]
[I]Is sculpted with this binding gel.[/I]
[I]But come, my love, and rescue me[/I]
[I]From failure.[/I]
[I][B]Cover me with an opium sheet,[/B][/I]
[I][B]Embrace me with gossamer;[/B][/I]
[I]Kiss the moonstones from my eyes[/I]
[I]And brush the cobwebs from my bones.[/I]
[I]It all sings beautifully;[/I]
[I]With all your strength believe this.[/I]
[I]But I know you can't understand[/I]
[I][B]Why I threw myself from the glass again.[/B][/I]

those are better
bold betterer

I keep making these to do lists, but nothing gets crossed out.

Neoteric 01-01-2008 07:39 AM

is it because life is like a bowl of oranges?

in fact it's more like jello pudding.

bowl of oranges 01-01-2008 08:11 AM

life can be like anything you like, it's all perception.

bowl of oranges 01-01-2008 10:29 AM
