As a new guy to the rigs, I wear green until I'm competent. That way the crew can recognize me as their lackey easier, and delivery/service guys won't ask me questions.
I had a decent weekend. I didn't go crazy, and that was the goal on Friday. Tyler came home today for a few days, and it was nice to have someone to talk to.
I have listened to hundreds of songs in the last few days, and I want to share a playlist of songs that I love right now. I could write about music forever, and I just might.
1. Battle Of Evermore - Lovemongers
- This song is a cover of the Zeppelin original, and it's tone is more driven and insistent that the original.
- The Lovemongers are the two sisters from Heart, and their familiar voices make this song awesome.
- Brings back the old style beat of 3DD that I really liked.
- The lyrics in this song are just awesome.
- The entire album is the best I've heard this year. The lead guitar in this song is hypnotizing.
- 'Before These Crowded Streets' was the only studio album I didn't have by DMB, until yesterday.
- 'Spoon' is similar to some other DMB songs in that the lyrics touch on religion.
- 'Spoon' is unique to other DMB songs in that there is a great banjo part, AND Alanis Morissette does background vocals.
- After listening to the unplugged version for years, I just heard the studio version for the first time.
- Layne Staley is one of my favorite vocalists ever.
- I actually didn't give the b-sides on 'Out Of Exile' much of a listen, which is odd because I liked their entire debut album so much. I listened through it finally last week, and boom, Yesterday to Tomorrow.
- I also am really into 'The Last Remaining Light' by them, because Chris Cornell drones in a good way.
- I don't know why, but I want to cover this song. Actually I do know why. It's awesome.
- Until 'accept this confession...', this song is just average to me. Then it gets really good. It sounds like he really means it.
- Random new guy that I started listening to the other day. Folk style isn't usually my preference, but I really like the style and lyrics, and especially the meaning of this song.
- Ok, on the folk kick, the entire 'Pale Sun Crescent Moon' album is ridiculously good.
- This song was like my fourth or fifth favorite from this album until recently, when I really started listening to it. You should too.
- Watch 'Babel', and you'll understand how good this song is. It was pretty powerful in the film, and it also sounds pretty good in headphones.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17kAJR7YbDE - the song starts at 4:50 of the clip, but watch the whole scene to get the context.
- I just like these guys, and how they create a happy atmosphere. Try being unhappy when listening to them. Not that I'm unhappy...
- I hate you.
- Love is a strong word.
- Try again.
- This song was amazing live. It was second only to Aqueous Transmission, and that was strange as I'd never heard it before.
- I don't even know what he's saying, or what it means, but sometimes that's part of what makes it so good.
- This song is intense in a literal sense. The music and the lyrics are both really aggressive.
- Really old b-side, but I love the drums and guitar bit. The chorus is good too, but I mostly just love the main line.
- I could rattle off a dozen old Pinback songs that I love right now, but this one is superior.
- 'Out of phase, offset, and offcell'. You have to hear him sing that line.
- Simply put, this song amuses me.
- From the last scene and end credits of Babel
- Probably the last song I've listened to before bed for the last two weeks.
- I've listened to 'Supernatural' lots recently, and the non radio songs are all really good.
- This song is really deep, criticizing the people who put their faith in Jesus to solve their problems.
- That, and I really like Seether in general. Unlike a lot of their stuff, this song pretty upbeat.
- This song is tough to describe. It rocks one minute, then it becomes almost a polka song. It's like a Polish girl marrying one of those black haired emo kids from south park.
- 'Hey man, look at me rockin out'
- I often try to avoid spending 11 minutes of my life listening to this song, so I skip to like 8:00 through. I then realize I need the first half for the end to be any good at all.
- This song has one of the most amazing verses I ever heard, from a poetic/rhyming point of view. Like Eminem in the way he can rhyme every line for eternity, Maynard kills the last verse. I'll share it at the bottom.
'Strapped down [to] my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed'
