Let's keep things moving

The Fall - C.R.E.E.P (indie)
Stereolab - Miss Modular (retro pop)
Violet Femmes - Gone Daddy Gone (indie)

dibs!

Gone Daddy Gone.

Sounds like guitar and xylophone. "Beautiful girl, love your dress" vocals come in. Straightforward verse and quickly into a chorus of "Gone daddy gone".

Another quick verse and the chorus is upon me again. Ha, a nice xylophone solo. Awesome. The guitar riff is the exact same all the way through.

Now a short drum solo and the xylophone again. Like they are dueling. 2 minutes in and another verse comes in.

Background vocals now, I don't remember them the first couple times. Now another verse while the background singers sing the chorus and now he joins them again and the xylophone takes over for a second and they sing a couple more "gone away's" and the xylophone takes the song out.

Fairly short song. I liked it for what it was, not really my style, but good nonetheless.

7/10

Old 97's - "Question"
The Dam[i]n[/i]wells - "Sleepsinging"

[B]Old 97's - Question[/B] 2:14

Beginning starts with just an acoustic guitar and vocals (very Nick Drake). The singing is good, it's sometimes a bit ackward like he's trying to force this sad mood, which just ends up being overally dramatic. Sometimes, I get reminded of the acoustic songs you find in the audio arena while listening to this. For the most part I don't like acoustic songs, I always get bored of them. This song is very short, which is a good thing for a simple song like this.

[B]5/10 Okay[/B]

dibs

A pounding Hook bassline intro for 20 seconds then drums join. Around 30 seconds in a distorted guitar does a quick riff and then goes silent.

Now a guitar coming from my other speaker does a few riffs. Again it goes silent and the bass and drums take the lead. So far this seems to be a song of dueling guitar riffs which is kind of cool.

Now the bass goes silent and the drumming is almost silent, and suddenly there is an explosion and although the song is halfway through it seems to be just getting started.

The vocals come in at 2:00. I can't really decipher what they are saying. The only part I can really make out is the "no love lost" part. There are some quick background vocals.

Now it sounds like a monologue being read to the music. Reminds me of "The Gift" by VU. Ok, the next verse is similar to the first. The music has gotten a little repetitive at this point. There are the background vocals for a quick "I need it" again, and cymbals take the song out.

I really like the first half of the song, but I didn't particulary care for the vocals or the repetitive style of the second half of the song. I'll give it a

7/10

The Dam[i]n[/i]wells - "Sleepsinging" (indie)
Sufjan Stevens - "To Be Alone With You" (indie/folk [b]WARNING: Acoustic song ahead.[/b])
Sondre Lerche - "Two Way Monologue" (indie-pop)
Les Savy Fav - "Yawn. Yawn, Yawn" (art-punk)

dibzzzz0000r

[B]Sondre Lerche-Two way monologue[/B]

Starts with acoutsic and some vocals come in that initally capture me. So far it reminds me a bit of Damien Rice in vocal style. I really like the acoustic sound...then theres some echo and drums and bass come in and the song changes.
Its quite up beat now, the chorus comes in..it sounds very good. The lo-fi drums sound very good. A kinda short organish style solo.
Verse again, electic guitar with a prominent part to play now. Chorus which is nice. Then coems the interlude, i like the guitar playing.
'We were chasing rabbits on the hill'...kinda second interlude, its very mellow and nice. Good chord changes. Im gonna stop writing and enjoy now.
And yeah stuff goes on and i liek it.

8/10. Good.


My songs:
Hope of the states:Black dollar bills
Ed Harcourt:Metaphorically yours

dibs

(The first song had too many bogus files on kazaa)
[B]Ed Harcourt - Metaphorically Yours[/B] 4:49

This song starts very mellow and with lots of vocal harmonies. I can actually make out the vocals. "If my wrists were slit you'd bandange them with style and grace" cool line. There is alot going on in this song, I just started noticing the bass and bells.

1:07 If that's a concertina, that would be so cool. I'm actually getting one of ebay that should be showing up any day now.

2:21 New Section with cool delay effects, stomp like drums, and du ta du tu tu vocals.
This is followed by a string band and big cymbal crashes.

This must be a pretty well known band if they can get strign sections like that. The horns end this song in a very traditional song. I'm going to assume they don't have alot of songs like this.

[B]8/10 Nice Ballad[/B]

My Selections:
Bonzo Dog Band - Beautiful Zelda (Weird Pop)
Stereolab - Miss Modular (Retro, Artsy)

You would be wrong, he's semi-big...but not huge by any means..and a lot of his songs are similar to that one, just slightly happier in most cases.

dibs on Stereolab

[QUOTE=NachoChez]revoked for you, dibbed for me. It's been two hours.[/QUOTE]

14 hours

dibs mission of burma

Couldn't find any of them! wich prgrams u guys use for downloads?

I would do it but I have heard both of those songs recently.

dibs st. elmos fire

Brian eno - St. Elmo's Fire

This one is tricky.
Brian eno, on the run for the new sound.
starts with a piano,some percussions and a soft bass, making this spanish-turkish sound. The piano gets slower, completely different rythm and still sounds familiar; Then vocals come in with some great lyrics.
The sound continues evolving, Piano going from top to bottom, and electric guitar comes in slow with high distorsion to do his appearence on this fully progresive solo. For this part the song have completely changed, piano, smooth distorted guitar and percussions fade out
:thumb:

It's a good one!.
The sound keeps on growing all over the room. (8/10)


Mano negra - King Kong Five
Café Tacuba - No comprendes / Esa noche
Soda Stereo - La ciudad de la Furia (unplugged)
k, so...
hope u enjoy em! :p

dibs

Well, this is annoying but im going to have to undibs:angry:

Finally, MY TURN


that means dibs by the way.

Soda Stereo - La ciudad de la Furia (unplugged)

I couldn't get the unplugged, so I got the original version I assume. I hope that's okay :( .

Anyways, the song starts out very calm, with some neat guitar work, then goes into a verse with a simple drum beat. Now the singer starts singing in spanish I believe. I like his voice, and the music is exciting. The guitar playing is easily the focal point of the song, as the drum is still just looping. Each chorus is great and filled with emotion. Okay, now I am at the last minute of the song, and the guitar goes into a solo. I assume it's going to last the rest of the song, predictable but enjoyable none the less. I like the bass and guitar efforts in this song, and the singer has a great voice. The only flaw with this song is the drumming, the boring drum beat didn't work for me. The guitar playing isn't overly technical, but it's pleasant and easy to listen to, and I like that.

I give the song a solid 4/5 (8/10)

Kükl - Psalm 323 (Bjork's first band)
Primitive Radio Gods - Sitting Outside a Broken Phonebooth With Money in My Hand
Mos Def and Talib Kweli - Freestyle
Victor Wooten - Classical Thump

Well... Actually, it had to be the unplugged version. I dont like the original, and the unplugged has nothing to do with it, but anyway!
good u liked it

dibs.

sorry tangy, but it's been 2 days since ur dib so im gonna take it

Primitive Radio Gods - standing outside a broken phoneboot with money on my hand.

Cool song!
Starts with the sound of coins, and then an easy beat box rythm with backin vocals comes in makin this trip hop kinda sound,theres also a keyboard playing softly at the back. im already hooked to it!. there's no way im gettin rid of this one :D feels like im under water.
Lead vocals come in and the song starts floatin takin u along burbon st.
by the 3rd minute the beat box,piano and vocals have made this magnificent blend. there's defintely no need for more intruments. Im starting to think this can't get any better, but it does! Summer comes for everyone!!!!. The sound of a plane passing by and a classical piano takes over on a solo, it's makin me shiver, im flotain along with the tune: "tu tu tu ru ru ru"
It slowly fades away, and the wave rolls back


The whole song has this moby kinda groove and still sounds in a completely different way.
Excelent piece of advice mate!!
(9/10)
