What are you listening to now?

I grew with an older brother and sister who listened to nothing but rap and hip-hop. As a result, I hate almost all non-VGM music.

 

I feel like I got the better end of the deal in terms of musical preferences even if I probably only think this because of a bias.

I did too which is I listen almost exclusively to metal.

mark owen's voice gets on my nerves, nearly as bad as Robbie Williams. Pretty much I only like Gary Barlow led songs. Shame he can't get away with telling them to shut up and stay in the background like he used to be able to.

 

Also, shouldn't that be in guilty pleasures, :P

 

edit: bit slow there...

Though the redone Dirty Magic is wrong. ALL WRONG.

I felt guilty about not giving their latest stuff a chance, as they lost me some time ago, but after reading that I feel less guilty. You don't revisit classic tracks like that unless you've got some masterful plan. Especially this long later. Especially that song. Ugh.

 

Stumbed across this while looking for the actual track and watched the whole thing because the drums are fucking amazing; whoever transposed it did a good job. Shame it's not official; that game needs more Rx Bandits.

I'd have gold stars in that within an hour :cool: It does look like a fun one to play though, definitely.

Do you have any idea htf people are creating custom tracks like that and how one goes about obtaining them? I had seen it done in the past with Guitar Hero, which I know to be a PC release, but I ignored it as I'm not a fan of that interface. If there is a scene of people making custom RB shit with pro support though, I need to find out where it is and stand in the center of it. I might even have to learn how to contribute.

 

Sounds remarkably like Gogol Bordello so that is something you might be gunning for.

My friend has been bugging me to snag that game for a couple of weeks now. That little tidbit of info might actually make me do it sooner than later.

I think there's still value in stuff The Offspring do, you just have to adjust your expectations a bit. Ever since Ixnay, they have always gone in a different direction overall but there are flashes of the old stuff in there.

 

With that Rx Bandits song, I wasn't really talking about technical skill (though I think I did show you Bled To Be Free by them) but the overall composition and creativity. The drummer just blows my mind.

 

The custom RB stuff is all part of the Rock Band Network initiative, I believe. They released some sort of software or something that people can purchase or license or whatever and it enables them to create charts to go with songs. I figure a lot of people just use it for personal enjoyment, but it looks like a fair few companies/individuals actually work for bands or record labels and create the tracks to sell on RBN. If you could figure out how it works, you could theoretically make anything you wanted though you'd need to hold the licence to make any money off of it though.

Oh yeah I'm listening to stuff. One of the greatest live recordings my ears have ever been fortunate enough to take in.

 

 

I'm so glad I bumped into this woman's music recently. I'm so stumped as to why I've lived this long without ever having heard of her. The fact that she isn't brought up when greatest singers of the century are being discussed is downright criminal. I'm even having a hard time finding some of her stuff on youtube.

are another couple of
for anyone who thinks they want to hear more. Yeah, I'm in love.
