Undergroundmusicblog announcements
Hello. If you are reading this, I am no longer blogging on this blog. But, there are almost 250 posts, so feel free to look through them. Even though it won't be new music, it'll still be good music.So . . . bye.*This is 12/23/13. I changed the polls slightly so that you can vote until 1/1/24. That's almost ten years from now. I at least wanted any people who happened to be visiting to be able to vote. I didn't extend it any longer because this blog will either get deleted or aliens will cause mass chaos by deleting the internet or murdering that huge satellite in space.Thought you might want to know that my friend has a blog, and we are very alike. http://www.electricperspectivemusic.blogspot.com/Yeah. Oh well. Yeah. This blog is kind of . . . dead. I guess this is goodbye. Again. Because it's a second goodbye, it's awkwarder, so there's no way to wrap this up. But I'm not a writer or anything, and this is the internet, so I can cut myself off midsentence and add three little dots afterwards . . .
I really wanted to do this one, because the band gives me a bit of nostalgia, even though I haven't listened to them very much. One of the my friends really liked heavy metal (we were both...I don't know...8...or 12, not all too much of a difference) and we watched one of the music videos. I remember it was creepy and that they had spiky hair and wore all black, and I'd like to relive that experience, for some reason.
I'm just going to skip right to the music videos.
The first song is Psychosocial. Haha, and ad came up and it was like for Britney Spears and I was still in this window. I was very confused. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wws7mnMewPw
Man, I remember how bad the quality was. I remember I used to think that was actually good quality. Ooh...there's the spiky hair. Fire, yes that's familiar. Guitar riff, also familiar. Is it weird that I actually kind of like this? Wait...that's not hair...OH MY GOSH. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT REMINDS ME OF?
Okay, nice trip down memory lane. I'm only going to look at one song, because I don't see myself seriously listening to them. But that was fun,
I said that I would talk about them sooner or later, so I decided to incorporate it with a segment.
I'm very scared about listening to them, because the lead singer was in another band called Damone that I really liked, and I'm worried she'll let me down.
The Organ Beats is just not a promising band name.
The first song is Happy Birthday/Come on Home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmE1ZzROtjM
It's alright. I'm not as let down. I think she fit better in with Damone.
The next song is Living Without You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_kHQ-s_2eY
This one let me down. You almost can't even hear her sing. I don't really like it.
Now for Stay The Night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0TEKBpiziM
You can't even really hear her in this one. Her voice had more power in Damone. The songs were more epic. Ugh...I'm done.
I mean, I'm glad she's still making music, but I just don't think this kind of band is right for her.
I'm let down.
Before you completely just rip my head off, I have listened to them a bit before, but not nearly enough to make a preference about my favorite song by them or be knowledgeable about anything they have ever done.
I just realized this is a sequel to the segment "10 signs you live under a rock."
Let's just go ahead and start.
The first song I'm going to listen to is Always. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nOV0vVfw8c
Here's the music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvtJVku_mJw
It's alright so far. The lyrics are pretty simple. It's not necessarily an interesting song.
Next is Adam's song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUsOK8Dlw7I
Here's the music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MRdtXWcgIw
Nice song. Cool video.
Now here is basically their most popular song. It's I Miss You. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1tAYmMjLdY
The music video is interesting...I suppose. I like the song itself. I've heard on the radio before, it's alright.
Now for All The Small Things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ht5RZpzPqw
I've heard this song before. I don't like the video, but I see that it's making fun of boy bands, which I respect.
Now...I'm going to listen to some new stuff, which I always got scared about....
Here's After Midnight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H86730HjLVA
Okay, the song is alright. I'm really sorry that I'm not using better words to describe my feelings. Cool music video, though. Very cute, and I will never use that word again.
I really don't see myself listening to too much of them. I can definitely see why people like them so much, though. And I guess the only important thing about listening to new music is respecting and understanding how other people would feel about it.
But they're an alright band.
I hear Three Days Grace mentioned a LOT and I feel ashamed about not listening to them.
So, I shall give them a listen and who knows, maybe somebody is in the same boat as me.
Let's begin.
This is Last to Know http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URblbwlpnLc
Slow beginning. Oh, this guy's a good singer. Guitar is kicking in a little bit. Still slow....
Guitar is back. Things are getting a little louder. Electric guitar. Drums. Okay. This is alright.
The next song is Get Out Alive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miFhwa1_few
Electric guitar...okay...I have a feeling this will be an awesome song. Bass and drums...
This is a really good band. I'm actually kind of surprised, because most of the time I listen to underground bands that aren't really the best, but still kind of awesome. But this is...I don't know...traditionally awesome. I guess. I like the song.
The next song is Over and Over http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okC4hw8IPYg
Most of the songs have the same format, from what I can tell. Slow, soft beginning with electric guitar or piano. Then the instruments kick in before the chorus. Oh. I like this song.
Now onto the music videos.
The first is Never Too Late http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL2ZwXj1tXM
Oh. I've heard this on the radio. I like this song. The beginning of the video where they're dancing around is cheesy, but I suppose it gets the point of the video across.
Alright. That was amazing.
The next video is I Hate Everything About You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8ekz_CSBVg
I've heard this briefly on the radio as well. I really like it. For some reason, when the bass starts in, it just sounds perfect. I wish I started listening to this band sooner. It makes almost every other band I've ever listened to sound stupid.
Except for Nine Lashes. I'm still obsessing over them.
Okay. I'm kind of scared to do this, but I'm going to listen to some of their newer-ish material.
This is Misery Loves my Company http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkSASi_eN_k
Wow. I. Love. This. Song.
I don't want to sound weird or cheesy, but I feel like I can relate to this song.
"I don't need your condescending words about me looking lonely." Perfect line.
So that was a really, really, really good decision. I have a feeling I am going to develop an unhealthy obsession with this band.
If you haven't listened to Three Days Grace yet, please do. They're a really good band and I was pleasantly surprised. I think you'll like them as well if you enjoyed the other crap I've been feeding you in all of my other posts.
I apologize because last time I accidently talked about a Pierce the Veil song. I realized this, I went back and wrote something and told everybody. Please don't bite my head off. I think it's understandable for someone who has never heard these bands before.
I'm really reluctant to do this segment because I know a lot of you are either really excited or think these bands suck. I guess that's why I'm just telling you my reaction instead of opinion. That way there's not as big of a storm of people saying "OMGGTHEYARELIKETOTALLYTHEBESTBANDEVERHOWDAREYOU!!!111!!!"
I hear people talk about Pierce the Veil a lot. Let's begin.
The first song is Hell Above. The first part seems so calm with the instruments, then there's a guy singing, or talking, then the loud instruments kick in. Are Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens the same band? They sound fairly similar...but this song isn't too bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz6mIeOXOOA
Here's Hold on Till May. Slow beginning. It's not a bad song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbGW-cDF7K4
I'm just going onto the music videos. I'm listening to Bulls in the Bronx. It's interesting for sure. Those are my only words. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WumCI56iYUk
Next is King for a Day featuring...oh...the dude from Sleeping with Sirens.
How the hell do I tell which is which.
Besides that...soft begin--woah. That changed. The singing sounds kind of weird. Or nice...or out of tune...or perfect...or ugly...or beautiful...or annoying...I don't know. What...what is this...what is life...what is my life...what..what...how....I'M SO CONFUSED. Oh yay, another unnecessary curse word at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icXUkIfZxyg
Overall that was good, or bad, or amazing, or ear torture, or perfection.
What....I can't decide.
This is a new segment called My Reaction To. There are some really popular bands I hear people talk about all of the time and I have yet to listen to.
How it works is I'll watch a lyric video first and tell you what I think. Then I'll watch a music video and basically dissect their entire discography.
Okay, that was an exaggeration. I'll basically listen to five songs and say "Umm, that's alright" or "My ears need to go to the hospital."
I hear people talk a lot about Sleeping with Sirens. I saw somebody wearing a band t-shirt and just generally hear people talking about them a lot.
So here we go.
I'm watching a lyric video for Dead Walker Texas Ranger. It's actually not too bad. It's about zombies, isn't it? But I kind of like this song. I can definitely see why people like them. I like it, except for the unnecessary curse word at the end. I feel like it kind of took away from the song. But the rest was good. Here's the video I watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDDIjmve7f0
Now I'm listening to Disasterology. I don't like this one as much. It's not bad, but I prefer the other one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6anzgEcK6M
Now I'm listening to Million Dollar Houses. I like this, except for the autotune in the beginning. People are saying that it's supposed to represent the greed of the music industry, but I don't think it's as well thought as that. I think it was used to just add an effect, I don't think there's a meaning. I mean, it's not being used because the lead singer needs it. But it's an alright song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDNbeppZTgg
I'm editing this a few hours later, and before you bite my head off, I realize this is a Pierce the Veil song, but the bands do sound similar.
Now onto the music videos.
This is If You Can't Hang. The beginning is cool. First verse....um.....yeah I don't like this song as much as the others. Here it is anyways. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UwWYtLWEZg
The next is James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, but there are more words in between that are too unimportant to mention. Are their songs just generally about girls? But this actually is a good song. I quite like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poZLiypLJzQ
Okay, so I'm going to stop here. There are two songs I like from them so far, but probably won't become my favorite band. The lead singer's voice is really different, and I'm still deciding whether or not I like it.
So, I know a lot of people may not like this segment because the fanbase of these bands are mainly 15 year old scene girls. But oh well. The point of this blog is to show you music. That's what I'm doing.
