Top Reddit reviews mentioning Music Discovery Apps:
> co-writer
In order for me to pass any judgement, I'll need to know what percent of writing he is credited for. I'll also need to know the details of the contract he has with the label. I suppose I'll need to know if he was paid upfront for his work, too.
These stories of musicians feeling like they are entitled to more $ than they receive, are often missing key facts that would help the public understand where the money is really going.
EDIT: From allmusic.com; "Composed by Kevin Kadish / Meghan Trainor"
Stallone actually even helped write the song:
Sylvester Stallone loved this song. When he heard the demo, he told the group it was exactly what he was looking for, but requested a mix with louder drums and asked if they could write a new third verse instead of repeating the first as they had done. The group did what Stallone suggested - they went about modifying the first verse and remixed the song.
Suggestions from an actor are usually not what bands are looking for when creating a song, but Stallone knew what he was doing. Jim Peterik said, "Stallone has a good ear for a hook. Just listen to his dialogues - he wrote those scripts. He came up with 'Eye Of The Tiger' for that script and those hook phrases like 'I'm going to knock you into tomorrow.' All that stuff is Stallone, he's a genius with dialogue. Songs are nothing more than dialogue set to music as far as I'm concerned."
Edit: For people messaging me about who I am. I'm not Duke, I have my own Youtube channel. Someone was kind enough to link it below.
I've been in this rut myself for the last six months now, but then came across this website to kinda help with that.
Everynoise basically compiles a list of artists based upon Spotify's genres and gives you samples for each, and similar musicians within that genre.
-Edit
So I didn't think this would go anywhere, but it kinda did. I gotta give credit to u/IntolerableFish as they're the one who posted it in a thread a few days ago about Tibetan Throat Singing. Were it not for them, I wouldn't have came across it.

Every Noise--it's a giant scatter plot map of like every genre ever. If you click on a genre name, it plays you a sample. If you hover and click the arrow over a genre name, it'll take you to another scatter plot with band names.
Good way to discover new music!
And you get Hulu with your Spotify subscription for no extra cost
Edit: I should clarify that you get a Hulu subscription for no extra cost only if you already have a student discounted Spotify subscription. You have to sign up for this in a certain way and I think it's only available in the US
Edit 2: I think this is the link to sign up for the Hulu account. It's from September so it might not still work right

EDIT: Since apparently it's a thing for everyone to say where they're from and I neglected to do so, I've lived in southern Virginia my entire life. However, my mother is from NYC and my father is from Bumfuck Nowhere, North Carolina, so I'd like to think that my accent is fairly neutral. Could be wrong, though.
If this isn't a case for Apple's version of Spotify Connect, don't know what is.
As it stands now, you can't use your iPhone's Music app to control Apple Music on Alexa devices, Google Home/Nest devices, and now PS5.
Pink Houses by John Mellencamp (the "Ain't that America" song) isn't actually the patriotic circle jerk that NASCAR and other similar events will have you believe it is. John said this about his song in an interview with Rolling Stone:
"It's really an anti-American song," Mellencamp told Rolling Stone about "Pink Houses." "The American dream had pretty much proven itself as not working anymore. It was another way for me to sneak something in."
Actually, it’s based on the Greatest American Hero’s theme song, which has two writers already.

Time for me to copy and paste one of my favourite reviews:
>Do you know why everyone keeps writing the same review of this album? You know the one-the one with the street lights and the rain and the cold night air and the bus rides and the fast food and the melancholy? The kind that every wise-ass takes the piss out of? > >I think I know why, and it's the same reason why we sometimes look at a painting and want to live in it. We want to live in a London as stylized and strangely beautiful as the one in Untrue-we want those walks to the corner store at three in the morning, those nights on the subway staring out the window and thinking about the rain, those nights with a crappy omelet and a cup of coffee that tastes like turpentine. Because when you feel misunderstood and lonely, leaning against a lamppost with your sigh captured in the autumn air is much more pleasant an idea than staring glassy-eyed at a computer screen in semen-stained boxers while searching desperately for some sort of music to wake you up and make you feel something. We're not just waxing lyrical about the fog and the moon and the taxis to get likes, we're trying to get closer to the world we were shown in Untrue. It's melancholy as escapism, and it's beautiful.
Try spotify premium for 99c for 3 months. I believe new customers only. But give it a try see which is best. Just remember to drop it before the 3 months is up if you don't want to renew.
Spot on about going somewhere with good music. When I hear DJs playing top 40 radio songs, it instantly ruins my experience. I might just be really pessimistic or elitist, but unless it's techno/tech house/minimal/deep I can't enjoy it or dance to it.
edit: currently tuning into Luciano's Ibiza set from a few days ago. I'll stay at clubs till day break if this is going down...
The lyrics were inspired, in part, by an unfortunate news story in Stone Temple Pilots' hometown of San Diego, California about a missing young woman who was later discovered dead by local law enforcement ("And I feel, when the dogs begin to smell her..."). At a concert in Columbus, Ohio on May 17, 2008, lead singer Scott Weiland said that he and STP drummer Eric Kretz wrote the lyrics in a hot tub after hearing the news story.
I use rate your music and that tends to have a lot of stuff that doesn't make it high up on here.

Because KISS are a highly influential heavy metal band.
To downvotesr: Heavy metal is a sub genre of rock. Yes, KISS are a rock band, but some of their music is definitely heavy metal: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/kiss-mn0000084209
You need this website! http://everynoise.com
It has over 3000 genres mapped with each genre having the artists mapped inside of it. You can search for artists you like and find the genre and then find new artists. You could also try listening to genres you didn't even know existed.
it's run by a dude who works at Spotify as an engineer working on their recommendation platform.
Y.M.C.A.
It's not inappropriate per se, but it gets played at parties and such as a fun party anthem with people not really knowing it's true meaning, and it blows my mind.
In the words of David Hodo (The construction worker persona in the band): "Y.M.C.A." certainly has a gay origin. That's what Jacques was thinking when he wrote it, because our first album [...] was possibly the gayest album ever. I mean, look at us. We were a gay group. So was the song written to celebrate gay men at the YMCA? Yes. Absolutely. And gay people love it."
This is a load of shit. Kurt Cobain's lyrics on Nevermind were lines of poetry he had written earlier that were pieced together at the last minute. Funny enough, songfacts.com says that Kurt wrote it because people mindlessly sing songs without knowing what they're about, so he wrote a chorus that was ironic (he's the one who likes all the pretty songs and he likes to sing along, and he likes to shoot his gun, but he knows not what it means).
Never forget: Creedance Clearwater Revival is from El Cerrito. Before they became famous as CCR, however, they were known as The Golliwogs and featured Tom Fogerty on lead vocals. It wasn't until John Fogerty took the lead role and the band changed names that they hit it big with their "...concise synthesis of rockabilly, swamp pop, R&B, and country."
Now, I'm not saying you need to change your name and get a new singer, but do remember that you are in a new place and have a perfect opportunity to re-invent yourself. That person you are in job interviews? Be her everywhere. Be awesome.
Alt-Js most famous song is about three men raping a transvestite prostitute with a broom stick, but we all still dance to it
Edit: if you're interested in what I'm talking about... http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=27770
This is one of the two songs in the game to be rerecorded due to the master track not being found. The other song being Anarchy in the U.K.
This is according to the Wikia and according to the original press info kit.
According to SongFacts, "Living Colour re-recorded this song for the video game Guitar Hero 3 with a faster guitar solo."
But like anything on the internet, find multiple independent sources before deciding if it's true or not.
i thought i might, especially from black republicans on-site, but the opposite was the case. they don't live in a total denial bubble and understand that the two percent black makeup of the GOP is terribly low. they were amused at the count, which made me feel good because it was a reminder that they're actual PEOPLE and not just distant ideas i dislike
best example of this was my interview with super black republican (super republican, not that he's more black than other black folk!) Paris Dennard
he ran african american outreach for George W Bush
Carbon copy is probably the wrong term for it but self-referential material is hardly a pop-music crime. In this case it's entirely possible that this was written after it was decided that "All About That Bass" was to be released as a single. And if she's writing her own songs (stories have indicated as much but her AllMusic profile for the record is pretty intense. I mean, who really claps on their own album? http://www.allmusic.com/album/title-mw0002769775/credits) she's already a step or two above the rest.
Harmless and pop. And as said by another poster, "let's twist again like we did last Summer."
I just defended Meghan Trainor. I think I need a shower.
Realising that that song was about ugly chicks made me realise that kids are exposed to so much shit they don't understand growing up and it honestly doesn't matter.
[edit] Several comments correcting me on this. I heard otherwise and it made sense but am happy to be corrected. In that vein of thought, from here
> We have yet to meet someone who can remember any words to this song other than the chorus, which is: "Who let the dogs out? Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof." The song does have verses and even a hint of meaning - the lyrics are about disrespectful men who hit on women at a party.
I still believe in the main point of my comment but my example was poor which was how it was related to anything in this discussion in the first place so I'm sorry I brought it up.
I see "420 Blaze It Faggot!" a lot on reddit, for the first time I tried to say it out loud. I have an English accent and it just sounds so bad. So, so bad.
Edit: I couldn't help myself.
I looked up the terms and conditions but I didn't see anything about US only. This offer was shown and found on the Spotify US website, though.
Well you're in the right thread. from here:
>Buckley referred to his sensuous rendition as a homage to "the hallelujah of the orgasm." He explained in a Dutch magazine OOR: "Whoever listens carefully to 'Hallelujah' will discover that it is a song about sex, about love, about life on earth. The hallelujah is not a homage to a worshipped person, idol or god, but the hallelujah of the orgasm. It's an ode to life and love."
can I post a soundcloud link?
this is just a freestyle any feedback will be welcome. lemme know if I should add/take away bars, could still use some work probably
~~I really should have jumped on the $.99 for 3 months deal they had a couple days ago~~ It's still up, but to be completely honest I don't get out of the house enough to justify the $10/month that it becomes afterwards. Especially being a high school student, I'm really only listening to music on mobile to and from school. Otherwise I'm at my computer or listening to podcasts.
So would the main difference between Cash playing the prisons and Metallica playing a prison be the amount of fame and solidarity in their career?
Like you said, Cash was generally unestablished as an artist and playing these shows because of his mental association with the inmates. Metallica played because San Quentin is close to their hometown of San Francisco. If Metallica had been a more underground band at the time (they had already released albums up through St Anger and had won 6 Grammys by that point), in the same way Cash was, would there have been more controversy with this performance?
B.B. King, blues guitarist, also recorded a live album at SQ, aptly titled Live at San Quentin. What was the backlash like when this album was released?
Tpab is now the #1 hip hop album on Rate Your Music, thoughts?
Also, Flower Boy has broken in to the top 40 hip hop albums.
'The line "Paul is a real estate novelist" is about a real estate broker who was a regular at the bar who always claimed to be working on a book. Joel figured Paul would never finish because he was always in the bar.'. From Songfacts
Someone has a copy of what I'm assuming is a first pressing for $10,000 USD on Discogs
I'm not sure what the highest price paid for this album is, but I hope it's not $10k...
Edit:
There are more affordable represses if anyone feels the need to buy themselves a copy
I love the melody of Brick by Ben Folds Five and never really tuned into the lyrics at first... and then I found out the story was about his girlfriend getting an abortion.
Since I love this song it's actually about a kid thinking about shooting up a school because he's an outcast. Its supposed to bring awareness to mental health. He's not actually shooting kids in the song. Although it has been taken off the air during times of school shootings, which I agree with.
I used to busk on the streets of Iowa City. At one point a man with a black acoustic guitar strapped to his back and a pet mouse living in a big gulp cup walked up to me and politely asked to play along. We played into the night and went our separate ways. 2 days later I saw him on the front page of the Des Moines Register draped in the county orange. Turns out that the night we played together, he was on America's Most Wanted. He had escaped from prison and made his way North. He was spotted the day after we played by a passerby. Later, a friend and I wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes. I'm not Ryne Doughty, I provide the backup vocals. The song was written by the two of us.
*edit: Thanks all for the positive feedback!
That beat sound A LOT like the one I made a few months ago...
Edit: And I sent that beat to Twelvey... I wonder what happened.
Edit 2: I figured it's probably coincidence because it's a popular sample... but I wonder if I influenced him to use that because of what I sent... we'll never know.

The song "Cornerstone" by Arctic Monkeys.
Their lead singer Alex Turner is very clever when it comes to word use, using words with one meaning and spinning it so it has another meaning (like the line from Crying Lightning "you never look like yourself from the side, but your profile could not hide the fact that you were losing your throne". Profile can mean the outline of a person's face as seen from side view, but it can also be a description of a person (like an online dating profile)).
Cornerstone gets even cleverer than that with the word "close". He uses it four times in the song to describe four women...
"She was close. Close enough to be your ghost" - close = strong resemblance.
"She was close and she held me very tightly" - close = a short distance away.
"It was close. So close that the walls were wet" - close = uncomfortably humid.
"She was close... well, you couldn't get much closer" (in describing the sister of the woman he has been searching for) - close = denoting a family member who is part of a person's immediate family, a close relative, typically a parent or sibling.
Being able to do that with four homonyms of one word, and put it in a story that makes sense, is probably the cleverest use of it I've ever come across. Alex Turner was in his early twenties when he wrote it and he banged it out one quiet morning just to challenge himself. That man's a genius.
To be fair, Paul was probably the most musically gifted Beatle. Paul recorded the drums for Back in the USSR, if anyone's interested in giving his drumming a listen in the context of the Beatles.
Another good example, on Chaos and Creation in the Backyard Paul plays just about every instrument.
I'm 90 albums deep this year (I have a list and thoughts on each for those interested). My favorite Hip-hop albums have been:
- Bedwetter (AKA lil ugly mane)-
Volume 1: Flick Your Tongue Against Your Teeth and Describe the Present.
- Quelle Chris - Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often
- Oddisee - The Iceberg
- Onry Ozzborn - c v p ii d
- Jonwayne - Rap Album Two
Outside of rap my favorites have been:
- Sampha - Process (alt RnB)
- Kairon; IRSE! - Ruination (prog rock)
- Max Richter - Three Worlds: Music From Woolf Works (modern classical)
- Jesca Hoop - Memories Are Now (singer songwriter)
- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Flyling Microtonal Bannana (psychedelic/garage rock)
- Laura Marling - Semper femina (singer-songwriter)
- Immolation - Atonement (Death Metal)
- Blanck Mass - World Eater (electro industrial)
- Pallbearer - Heartless (Doom Metal)
Horse And Goat is pretty tame by Trevor Brown's standards, too.
I have a copy of "Jesus Christ" by Smell & Quim. In any other context the cover would be flatly illegal in nearly every country, but because it appears to be medical in nature it somehow must squeak by censors. Keep that in mind before you decide to click that discogs link.
Interesting, looks like it's priced halfway between an individual Spotify Premium account (19.99 zł a month) and a Spotify Family account (29.99 zł a month.)
Looks like it's only available in Poland right now? https://www.spotify.com/pl/duo/
If you don't have an issue with Japanese lyrics, you might wanna check out Midori. They're pretty interesting. Not exactly a Grindcore/Jazz band, but they are Jazz Fusion/Hardcore Punk.
There is no way to kill a joke like explaining it to death, which is easily accomplished in 300 characters.
This delusional seller is asking $200 for a "rare and valuable" "BEATLES RECORD", which is obviously worth quite a bit of coin in his/her mind. The seller is not even open to negotiations. Unfortunately for his/her grandiose plans, the record being sold is just one of unaccountably many Beatles orchestral covers. BEATLES RECORD? I don't think so.
This one happens to have a median price of $2.00, so the seller is only off by a factor of 100.

I got a good laugh out of this. Good luck with the sale, sir or madam.
Before you graduate from high school, be sure to learn that with some songs, careful analysis of lyrics can yield more fruitful and poignant meaning. I only say this because (as a huge fan of The Who) I assume that when you say "Teenage Wasteland", you are referring to the song "Baba Oriley." If this is indeed the case, there is an incredibly detailed and intriguing backstory to it. Feel free to read up...or just gloss over it again, if you like...
fuck everything
EDIT: if you want to start listening to prince but don't know how to dive in since it's hard to find anything, listen to this mix https://www.mixcloud.com/pablodiscobar/dj-u-tern-the-purple-mix-prince-favorites/
>This song is commonly thought to be about masturbation, but it's really more about dancing by yourself. Billy got the idea watching Asian kids "Dancing With Themselves" in a nightclub. The kids would dance in a pogo style up and down.
"This song tells the story of a man who comes to Africa and must make a decision about the girl who comes to see him. He is enamored with the country, but must leave if he is going to be with her."

What you're describing sounds like what RYM simply calls Singer/Songwriter. You'll notice it has some pretty esoteric sub-genres but it doesn't have a parent genre (as in: Rock -> Progressive Rock)
So I'd say that it does deserve recognition as a genre and it's a style that can also appear in any genre. You usually see it paired with stuff like Folk Rock but like you said an R&B artist could put out something like that too.
The hate towards it makes sense if people feel like the market is over-saturated with it. Not all poppy 80s metal was bad, but it sure had a shitty reputation by the time grunge came around. Then the wave of lazy Vedder-soundalike bands came along till all the "The" bands came along around 2002 with the Post-Punk / Garage Rock Revival thing. Then that got stale. And so on.
I played it and used Soundhound to try and identify the artist and it turns out it's by a Canadian Shoegaze band called "No Joy". It said the song was called "He Cried" so I guess it must be a test pressing of this 7" single: https://www.discogs.com/Marnie-Stern-and-No-Joy-Your-Kids-Are-Going-To-Love-This-He-Cried/release/3454522
God knows how this record by a canadian band that was pressed in Nashville, TN ended up in a London record bin but there you go. I love it when this sorta weird stuff happens, one of the best parts of vinyl.
They did take the notes for sure, but it was played live.
" The bass line on this song was played live by a 17-year-old named Chip Shearin, who got the gig for the session because his friend knew the studio owner, Sylvia Robinson. Shearin was paid $70 to re-create the bass line from the song "Good Times" for 15 minutes. He recorded the part with a live drummer, which formed the rhythm track for the song. When he asked Robinson what she was going to use it for, she replied: "'I've got these kids who are going to talk real fast over it."
Sheerin ended up playing some live gigs with the band and became a successful studio musician and composer of jingles"
> Jan-Willem van Engelen, zendermanager NPO Radio 2, laat weten dat het interessant is om te zien dat ook jongere stemmers massaal op de klassiekers stemden. ,,Voor hen zijn deze klassiekers en de jaarwisseling onafscheidelijk geworden.
De Top 2000 trekt dan ook jongeren aan die dit soort muziek tof vinden. Ik heb jarenlang gestemd, maar ik wist eigenlijk niet meer waarvoor ik het deed. Ik zag in ieder geval veel van m'n favorieten toch nooit terug, en liedjes waarvan ik het zonde zou vinden dat ze uit de lijst verdwijnen (van Small Faces bijvoorbeeld, of XTC) die verdwijnen toch wel. En worden vervangen door drie nieuwe nummers van Ed Sheeran (wat geen troep is ofzo, maar echt goed vind ik het ook niet).
Toen ik net rock muziek begon te ontdekken was ik nog gefascineerd door de lijst zelf. Ik houd ook echt wel van lijstjes en om erachter te komen wat 'het beste' is. Maar de Top 2000 is wat mij betreft helemaal niet zo'n goede lijst daarvoor. Geef mij maar Rateyourmusic!
En radio luisteren doe ik sowieso weinig, maar de Top 2000 a gogo kijk ik graag, echt een leuk programma, ook al is Matthijs van Nieuwkerk wat irritant.
En Bohemian Rhapsody op 1 is wel erg gezellig.
I read it in their biography. But this link mentions it:
> The line, "We're coppin' from the local police" is about how the cops in Charleston, West Virginia, actually gave the band some pot they had confiscated.
Didn't really find much else. Don't know how reliable songfacts is.
The Family Plan is the best - 6 Premium accounts for $15 a month.
6 accounts for $15 or $10 for a single premium account can really add up the savings if more than 1 family member has spotify.
<strong>Train - Drops of Jupiter</strong>
Edit: Sorry for the format.
In an interview with VH1, lead singer Pat Monahan revealed that he wrote this song about the death of his mother. Train released their first album in 1998 , and were touring that year when Monahan' s mother was dying of lung cancer - she was a heavy smoker. This was before the widespread use of cell phones, and Monahan made many stops to pay phones on the tour to speak with his mom during this difficult time.
In December of that year, his mother died, and in early 1999 Train was working on their next album when their record company started pressuring them for a hit. Monahan returned to his childhood home in Pennsylvania, and woke one morning with the words "back in the atmosphere" in his head. Beginning a time of healing, he started to compose the song. Said Monahan: "Loss of the most important person in my life was heavy on my mind, and the thought of 'what if no one ever really leaves? What if she's here but different. The idea was, she's back here in the atmosphere
There is a group that has been categorizing music genres. Their website is http://everynoise.com/. They also create playlists on spotify, the easiest way to find a playlist of any genre is search "The Sound of GENRE". The other great thing they do is they have links to other playlists such as an Introduction, popular songs, lesser know, female driven, newer releases, and related genres of the genre (slamming deathcore anyone?).
edit: the reasoning I put this down is you can try a genre easily and get an idea of it.
I am not seeing this on my Neon systems, using the deb file as opposed to a snap or flatpak.
Probably just whatever source you are using is missing the relevant icon file. Not a distro or KDE issue, methinks.
Yeah, well it was supposed to be "brown skinned girl" and was about an interracial relationship. Van Morrison changed the lyrics so radio stations would play it. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2359
Here's a great example of good mixing - Daft Punk's Something About Us with Adele's Set Fire To The Rain - https://soundcloud.com/serranocarlos/adele-vs-daft-punk-something-about-the-fire-carlos-serrano-mix
For those interested, here's Carlos Serrano's channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/CarlosSerranoMusic/videos?flow=grid&view=0
If you get your hands on the European cassette version of Dead Kennedys' In God We Trust Inc., it has a message that states, "To the buyer: Side 2 of this cassette is completely blank for your own use."
That's not really true either. "As an adult, he got that feeling again sometimes, entering a state of delirium, where he felt detached from reality. He told Mojo magazine (December 2009) that the lines, "When I was a child I had a fever/My hands felt just like two balloons" were autobiographical. He explained: "I remember having the flu or something, an infection with a temperature of 105 and being delirious. It wasn't like the hands looked like balloons, but they looked way too big, frightening. A lot of people think those lines are about masturbation. God knows why."
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1697
I've heard the story from his mouth in an interview too but I can't remember where. He described going home to write after a night of drinking, in a depressed state and realizing he'd become numb to his emotions and had a feeling similar to when he was sick as a child.
'The line "Paul is a real estate novelist" is about a real estate broker who was a regular at the bar who always claimed to be working on a book. Joel figured Paul would never finish because he was always in the bar.'
I think he might be accidentally promoting a student bundle he signed up for. Spotify Premium isn't $5, Hulu and Showtime aren't included.
I pay 10 for Spotify and add an additional 3 for Hulu off of a promotion they had a couple months back. No Showtime.
Morrison originally wrote it as "brown skinned girl," a song about an interracial relationship of his, but changed it to "brown eyed girl" at the behest of his label.
They give a student discount. 50 percent off. If you still have your college email, now is the time to pull it out.
Edit: apparently only works if you're still enrolled.
was bored and ranked my top 90 hip hop albums of the 10s. only genre restriction was that it couldn't be instrumental.
anyway roast me.
Entroducing was a long time ago and his sound has changed significantly since. I would not go to a shadow show excepting a lot of stuff like it. His new show is called "all basses covered" and you can listen to the set he would've played that night on his soundcloud. I'm on my phone right now so I can't link to it but I will later if I remember.

There is also a student discount (at least for US residents). Register for it to get spotify for 50% off for a year. link
RYM is my main new music source for almost a decade (user for +11 years). Lists, charts, boards -- all great sources.
I understand what you are saying about the ratings and charts in general, that's why I encourage you to find some user-curated lists. For example, I recently found The Dark Side of Techno list, which introduced me to some really great tunes, which aren't highly rated and/or popular otherwise.
Charts are also good source, especially genre-specific. For example, if you want to know gothic country, you can get ten first albums and most of the time you won't be disappointed.
I tried using AllMusic, Last.fm, Discogs, but none of those services are even close to what I got out of RYM.
Slightly related fun fact: Queens of the Stone Age's sound guy used to dj dances for deaf people where they would hold balloons and stand next to the sub-woofers.
Also, in their album 'Songs for the Deaf', there is a hidden track, "Real Song for the Deaf", consisting of a pattern of low-frequency bass.
Well according to this, at one point they played Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in about 26:38 but that was with George Szell so maybe it's gotten faster.
If people are interested enough, I'll do a tutorial of making a song from scratch so you guys can see how I use the template.

No.
I’m a huge fan of Demon Days myself, and that record has bestowed upon us major Gorillaz hits in Feel Good Inc. and Dare, but this is honestly fucked. Ys is not only a masterpiece, it is wholly unique. I would say revolutionary, but people still haven’t copied what she’s managed to do, so no revolution has happened. I know ratings sites can be lame to use as reference points, but on RateYourMusic, Ys has a 3.9! Anyone familiar with that site knows just how ridiculously difficult it is to get a rating that high. That’s landed her the #222 album of all time with that rating.
I dreamed you were skipping little ~~stones~~Ys across the surface of the water —
frowning at the angle where they were lost, and slipped under forever,
in a mud-cloud, mica-spangled, like the sky’d been breathing on a mirror.
RIP Competition. To Pimp A Butterfly better go far.
EDIT: Do you guys forget about upvoting the thread this quickly?
If you think just facial expressions are amazing, try tone of voice.
I cannot even describe how real the radio play Andrew was in. It's called Cock, and it is just amazing how much a few people can convince you. It's an hour long and about 2 gay men and a woman (did I just describe Sherlock?), but it's pretty worthwhile.
You may feel that you are owed a refund morally and based on your understanding of the terms & conditions you agreed to. I won't speak to the issue morally, but the terms & conditions you agreed to pretty explicitly state that Spotify can advertise to you, even as a premium user;
>7 Rights you grant us >>In consideration for the rights granted to you under the Agreements, you grant us the right... (2) to provide advertising and other information to you
Paying for premium does not exempt you from being advertised to, plain and simple.
It's the cover art for a single from the band Liars. Don't know the story behind the picture, though.

> The video was based on the 1988 movie Dangerous Liaisons, with elaborate costumes inspired by film, which was set in France during the 1700s. John Malkovich, who starred in the movie, also appeared in the video, as does Hugh Laurie, who went on to star in the TV show House. With the string section and harpsichord sound, the music fit the theme.
hooray, after just over 7 months i've finally listened to every album on the essentials list
heres my listening diary if anybody is interested in seeing my really bad opinions i have
this was a super high quality list and i found a lot of really great stuff. strongly reccomend checking all these albums out for yourselves!
Yeah I've really tried to understand the overwhelming praise and I just don't get it... It's decent but when people are throwing their arms up claiming it as some sort of "masterpiece" for the trap genre and it's got one of the 5 highest ratings ever for a trap song on RateYourMusic.com I just can't help but wonder why.
Like, people have been rapping about drug abuse and depression in hip hop since The Message. This is nothing new. And nothing about the way Uzi describes it comes off as particularly insightful or impressive to me. When he isn't talking about drugs or his ex the rest of the lyrics in the song consist of predictable brags ("Stackin' my bands all the way to the top", "Clothes from overseas, got the racks and they all C-Notes", etc.) The beat is nice but nothing that blows me away compared to the stuff that guys like Metro, Mike Will, Southside, etc. have been doing lately. Hook is easily the best part of the song but that's just one component of the whole piece, and I still don't think it's so godly that it deserves being praised to the high heavens like it has been. Also I've admittedly never liked Uzi's voice but I understand that's not a legitimate reason to dog on the guy so I won't count that against him.
I just fail to see how it's anything more than a catchy pop rap tune with slightly darker than usual subject matter for a song that's on the radio. I feel like I would need to be seriously invested in Uzi's personal life and relationships to be fully in love with it, and I'd honestly be very surprised if he's any sort of significant force in hip hop even 5 years down the line. Idk, maybe I'm wrong.
> My Hero
According to this site this is actually incorrect.
"This song is about the heroes Foo Fighters guitarist and lead singer Dave Grohl had in his life, who were ordinary people who did extraordinary things. Apropos for the man who was Kurt Cobain's bandmate, Grohl has explained that he has little use for hero-worship when it comes to celebrities - especially rock stars. The song is written from the perspective of a kid, but it reflects Grohl's beliefs.
Like many of his Foo Fighters tracks, many listeners assumed that this song was about Kurt Cobain, but Grohl has explained that it isn't."
done. soundcloud is a gigantic piece of shit site and it's not loading for me but ill try mixcloud
edit:
So I went with my wife to feed her 90 year old grandmothers bird. I knew she had some vinyls laying around and today I found them. This was in there in pretty good condition. I gave it a listen. It's a 45 so its quick. Had some of JFK's speech in it and some of the flight control audio. As you can tell form the picture it is Narrated by Hugh Downs. Here is a link to the audio. And here is a link to the Discog page
This might be my favorite find yet.
To the person who instantly downvoted this after posting and before I could comment, fuck you.
It is and isn't.
All the reference to slavery has double meaning as users being a slave to 'Brown Sugar' heroin.
I think from the POV of the band heroin was probably the primary topic and the slavery stuff was a creative way of putting that across in a song. I can't see them sitting down to write a song and thinking;
'Let's write a song about slave rape... and fill it with drug metaphor'
In contrast,
'Let's write a song about all this heroin we're experiencing, and use slavery to relate to being a slave to addiction'
seems far more plausible.
Dunno how true, but I like this quote from here: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=22941
>Talking about writing this song in Rolling Stone, Foster said: "I was trying to get inside the head of an isolated, psychotic kid. It's a f--k you song to hipsters, in a way - but it's a song the hipsters are going to want to dance to."
Freewill by Rush. According to this, "the time signature alternates 6/4, 7/4, 6/4, 7/4, 6/4, 8/4 and repeats during the first verse."
That's actually not true about it being written for the movie. The song was written as a response to fan mail from kids saying they'd get bullied for liking Smash Mouth. So they wrote All Star as a way to support their fans.

They also talk about Walking on the Sun
