Death Metal Band's Lyrics Tied To Killings Posted: 10/19/2009 3:27:01 PM
im suprised that boyband music isn't tied to killings. That music is so shite and meaningless that it should drive sex deprived males into killing sprees

Song Writers Posted: 4/15/2009 2:19:47 PM
i write my own songs too and i (attempt) record them hehe... im not a great singer but making music is one of the things i've always wanted to do since i was a young teenager. As i write its a little like building a wall... If i come up with something i like while playing guitar i will write odd bits of lyrics and come up with vocal melody and build as i go. Some lyrics are a matter of improv. I like to record them early as sometimes i will forget the vocal melody and somtimes would improvise lyrics as i go... listen back and alter.

Red House Painters - Medicine Bottle Posted: 12/1/2008 4:24:05 PM
another lyric from one of my fave bands....bit of a long one Red House Painters - Medicine Bottle Giving into love And sharing my time Letting someone into my misery I told it all step by step How I landed on the island And how I swam across the sea And it crosses my mind That I may wake to a knife in me No more breath in my hair Or ladies' underwear Tossed up over the alarm clock Blood dripping from the bed To a neatly written poem A heartfelt last line reading: "There is no more mystery Is it going to happen my love?" "There is no more mystery Is it going to happen my love?" It's all in my head, she said Morning after nightmare "You're building a wall," she said "Higher than the both of us So try living life Instead of hiding in the bedroom Show me a smile And I'll promise not to leave you" It happened under a rainy cloud Passing through the dark south We went into a big house And slept in a small bed I didn't know you then As well as you of me We talked of our sad lives And we went off separately And we went off separately I found your overseas souvenirs Holiday greeting cards And some long forgot high school fears "It's all in my head," I said Banging a piano I've not been so alone, I thought Since kicking in the womb I drank so much tea I wrote my letters in Kanji Around the block I walked and walked Pretending you were with me Not wanting to die out here Without you The hurting never ends Like birthdays and old friends We forget that this flesh blood and bone is human Trading phone lines for airlines Unwilling to face That love is found on the inside Not the outside And like a medicine bottle In the cabinet I'll keep you And like a medicine bottle In my hand I will hold you And swallow you slowly As to last me a lifetime Without holding too tight I do not want to lose The thrill that it gives me To look out from my window And scowl at the houses From my world in the bedroom "It's all in his head," she read In her girlfriend's self-help book "It's all his own making A war with himself Like two sides of a war That separates two countries He shuts out the world And wants only to love you" Not wanting to die out here Without you

American Music Club - Apology for an accident Posted: 12/1/2008 4:21:24 PM
one of my fave songs by my fave band... American Music Club - Apology for an accident When you left you took all memory of me with you Leaving me with no hope of ever being loved And now like the air I’m blowing and blowing With no hope of ever being seen Did you hear the one about Mr. Ed Well he said, “I’m this way because of the things I’ve seen But I would rather count on your love instead Daily eating my weight in hay.” And I hate to see a good thing just go to waste Honey it’s a little weak for my taste Well I’ve been praying a lot lately It’s because I no longer have a TV Just a fluorescent hangover to light the way Between the things you say and the things I see I just called you up to see If you wanted to go out and drink a little wine And waste some time on a roller coaster ride But you say it’s too dangerous to lead an empty life And I hate to see all your sweet words just go to waste But honey they’re a little weak for my taste Well I’m an expert in all things that nature abhors Your look of disgust when I touched your skin And I try to figure what the world needs me for So I replay the scene again and again And I can see you try and put me in my place Honey that’s a little weak for my taste

guitar players Posted: 1/13/2008 2:07:37 PM
DADF#BE ive wrote a few songs in this tuning, a tuning i learned from the band red house painters. I wasnt sure what tuning it was so i looked it up in 'mark hansons complete book of alt tunings' The singer of that band is mark kozelek, a guy everybody needs to hear for his diversity in alt tunings....also ani difranco too shes great EADF#BE is a lute tuning but was turned 3 stps higher; GCFADG EADGCF i learned from a singer/songwriter that uses it called mark eitzel. Very weird popular among jazz players rivermusicman try dropping the B to an A DADF#AD For an open D tuning, one of my favourite tunings, I cant play slide guitar at all, i just like to experiment in other tunings as they always feel better than standard tuning

Chords you use often/ The Guitar Chord thread Posted: 11/14/2007 11:32:43 AM
i like to alternate tune guitar and discover chords from songs that i have tried to learn from songs that are in alternate tunings ( like mark eitzel, mark kozelek etc ) and then try to figure out more chords, capo on 9th in DADF#AD tuning etc... Make it up as i go along so to speak. .....

The music of The Smiths. Posted: 11/14/2007 11:18:42 AM
the above user ^ obviously not heard much of the smiths ? Yes moz is quite depressing, can be at least but there is interlectural humour in his lyrics too The songs are not dreay though.. well i would say that wouldnt i? since i love the smiths. They were upbeat and jangly Panic(hang the dj etcetc) isnt even one of thier best imo Marr is a great guitarist, smiths had a unique way of putting the songs together. marr can not take all the credit... His stuff other than smiths bores me

What does everyone think of Avril Lavignes Girlfriend video? Posted: 7/11/2007 5:41:25 AM
instantly at start of the song i am thinking of that eighties song " hey mickie " dont like it the song at all, dont like her music whatssoever. Video is ok and funny in places but music videos are pointless imo People can argue over whether she is "punk" or not, but theres one word that describes her place in the music buisness.... Gimmick

survival of the fittest? bollocks, music today is Targeted and Marketed. Its obsene, people like simon cowell etc ps all over the music buisness and contoll it. True you cant make a professional sounding record at home. But i would rather not make it in the music buisness than be a sell out peice of st I make music because its expression not because i want to sound " professional"

Christian rock - a turnoff? Posted: 6/19/2007 4:21:05 AM
I am non religious. So christianity on a whole is a slight turn off. Though i take part in christmas as it seems the regular thing to do after all these years, i do not follow it. Its not just christian rock but other like cliff richard etc, i cant bare to listen to these songs. Preaching the word in music just seems generic. I imagine all christian rock bands playing gigs for free hehe, you know money is the root of all evil and all that. Dont you wonder why in church they send around the money tray? money is the root of all evil, please make a donation.

Songwriters & Wordsmiths... Posted: 6/18/2007 5:38:29 PM
The Frozen River Time is a face on the water And i can feel it slip away In a river that must eventually branch off Dwindle away and soak into dirt Under the greyest of skies In my disguise I slip away The sailor he drowns but no one throws out the line Bypassed like a leaf in a stream In this wintery storm you may find Me by the river frozen still My heart hasn’t stopped but it is freezing And the cold will never leave my bones My time is a crack in the frozen river Unsafe to trust the water But I must try to cross anyway I can Because no one can save me From myself

i use fostex mr-8HD. I used to record seperate tracks into PC via soundcard. I found the quality to be not that good. The fostex 8 track is a god send. Good thing i like about is that you can record 4 tracks simultaneously.
