As opposed to the "Caught you Listening" thing we've had going for awhile, to start the new year, I'm putting out the song of the day. Just mention the song that's consuming you all day or you want to consume or you'd like to consume or you can't wait to hear or whatever. Limit one per day. Or else it would be plural. Okay, so this one is different than "Caught you listening", right? Why close the latter then? My guess is - for some reason it became annoying to Pulp but, well, me and slayrrr could comment on anything we were currently listening to in it - something we can't do in "Song of the Day" since it's strictly about songs that consume us and is limited to one per day. I'll make a poll to ask other members of The Board whether the thread annoyed them, too, and we'll decide whether it should be reopened or not. A true democracy if I know one! |

I don't see how it hinders discussion. Who says you can't discuss here? Or in one of the other music-geared threads?
And like I'm serious about one per day, it just that we sit here on the computer and listen to music and at any given time can flood it with ten thousand songs. It's not like I'm going to go through and erase your comments. Jesus.

I'll make a poll to ask other members of The Board whether the thread annoyed them, too, and we'll decide whether it should be reopened or not. A true democracy if I know one! That's precisely my problem with this thread. There is no one Song of the Day because I don't really have a song consume me for a single day. I just open my iTunes library and hit random. It just depends on what comes up at the time I'm on the board. I've never even checked my play-count totals for all the songs I have in their, I'll bet my highest one isn't even over 100 plays since it's so large. That's why a Caught You Listening thread is a good idea, and while there more than are some out there who feel obsessed with listening to a specific song every single day, it's just not me. A Caught You Listening is more along my style, since it's more accurate to what I'm doing, it caught me listening to a specific song at the time I was here on the Board. And, as a side-note, if I was concerned with post totals as you claimed in the other poll, why didn't I post there every single day? If I was truely concerned about what my post total was, wouldn't I have done it like I did in the beginning when I first came on, posting on there just about every hour with a new song? I stopped doing that since it was pointless, but if I was more concerned with getting an inflated post total, I would keep doing that, and doing it every day as well, which I don't do. I can see your argument, but I just don't happen to agree with it. |

I've listened to "Asleep" by Desultroy from their first album, Into Eternity over and over today.
The song is just too damn good.

Pudelsi - Band - Poodles Szklane oko - Song title - Artificial Eye Lyrics: No need to translate  Fidel Castro - dead Bill Clinton - dead Borys Jelcyn - dead Li Peng - dead Milosevic - dead Karadzic - dead Saddam Hussein - dead Arafat - dead Fidel Castro - dead Li Peng - dead The band leader is almost a prophet as only 3 of them are still alive, one is jailed, remaining two are not leaders anymore. |

Ha - a classic! Whenever I listen to a good song by this band, I feel cheated by its ex-singer, though, who after a short stint at Polish Idol started singing silly "pub songs" and quit Pudelsi for good. The band continues without him, but they're not quite as good as they used to be.

For the last couple days, I've been consumed by Rhapsody, so I've listened to a lot of their stuff, mainly off the Power of the Dragonflame album. Classic stuff where not one song sucks and all of them are quality tracks.

Portuguese band B-Tribe - Album Sensual - a remnant after Conrad I wasn't listening to for a very longish time.

I need to try Rhapsody's latest album, heard it's pretty good. What type of music does B-Tribe play, spacer?
Listening now to: Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier, can't get enough of it. A bit weird here and there but overall a great album.

I've heard a couple songs, it's really good like I expect them to be. They're not the same they used to be, all about the speed but I've liked the change in their last three albums (their two as Rhapsody of Fire and the last one as straight Rhapsody) which is different from their original sound, which I remember you saying you weren't all that big on.
I'm supposed to be getting into that Maiden one soon, a friend at work is supposed to bring it in so I can listen to it either today or Monday, so I'll know by then what I think of it but from what he's said, it's not all that great.
Been digging the new Katakylsm album recently, a lot of fun and really enjoyable.

Let me know what you think of the new Maiden CD - I love most of the tracks on it, Satellite 15...The Final Frontier, Coming Home, The Alchemist, Isle of Avalon, The Man Who Would Be King and the closing 11-minute long When The Wild Wind Blows being my favourites.
Now listening to: Joe Satriani's latest album. Very energetic.

I tried it, and sorry Bart, I'm not a fan. Way too long and self-indulgent for my tastes. I like my Maiden in the "Number of the Beast"/"Powerslave" variety, not this recent phase they've been in trying to write the longest songs possible. It was just endless, especially when I was typing up some reviews and I used up one whole song to do an entire section, and I still had some time left-over. It usually takes me about 6-7 minutes to type them up, especially once I know where I'm going with my rants or such, but to do that, with a whole song and still have time left over is just too much. Great guitar work, some nice compositions and of course excellent vocals, but trim this thing down by maybe 10 minutes overall and I'd probably love it a lot more.
Right now, going old-school
Anthrax-Spreading the Disease

"Spreading the Disease" is one of my all time favourite CDs! Can't decide whether I like this or another Anthrax gem - "Among the Living" - more.
As for Maiden: well, what can you do, they decided they need to evolve like that. Myself, I love both their earliest CDs as well as their new stuff.

I prefer Among, but indeed it is a pretty close race. Both albums have two songs I can't stand (on Spreading, it's Lone Justice and Armed and Dangerous, on Among it's N.F.L. and Imitation of Life) but the songs I like on Among I like more than the ones I do on Spreading. It's mostly a quality issue, I like those on one more than the ones I like on the other, even though I think both are great albums.
As for Maiden, don't worry too much about it. I've got a history of not liking something like this the first time around and then coming around to it. When I first got And Justice for All, I kept trying to pawn it off since I utterly hated it, but since the store I kept taking it to wouldn't take it back, I was stuck with it so I put it away and forgot about it. Several years later, I moved out of my house and into my apartment so I packed everything up, found the album and decided, what the hell, it can't hurt to give it a listen, and I found myself loving it. It's not uncommon for me to have that sort of reaction the first time around to a big, expansive, long-winded album, so with time it might work out for me.
Right now, working my way through the new Heathen album. I smell Thrash's number album this year. Totally smokes, Bart you oughta try this one.
