  • Forty Questions About Fifty Artists: End of the Decade Edition

    Dez 17 2009, 0h06 por Evil_Doll_Paula

    1. How did you get into 31? (伊藤賢治)
    Mana series and Romancing Saga, I believe.

    2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (MintJam)
    The oldest song of theirs on my iTunes is Rival, so I'm going with that. Sounds about right anyway.

    3. What's your favorite lyric by 29?
    It's between KOKIA and Lily Allen... Favorite by KOKIA is perhaps the "Mama, pinku no zou-san dayo!" in ピンクの象. Favorite from Lily Allen, in TocarFriday Night, the line that goes something like "Nice dancing, love, but you should've worn a bra."

    4. What is your favorite album by 49?
    Chroma Chrome or Raining Jane. Only have an album from the latter, so I guess it'd be that, Diamond Lane.

    5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Andreas Vollenweider)
    I think 4: White Winds, Book of Roses, Dancing With the Lion, Down to the Moon.

    6. What is your favorite song by 50?
    Chroma Chrome or Raining Jane. キキミミ and TocarWyoming Sky, respectively.

    7. Is there a song by 4 that makes you sad? (ALI PROJECT)
    Most of them, because they're so damn hard to translate. Srsly though, maybe ナルシス・ノワール.

    8. What is your favorite song by 15? (Swing Out Sister)
    As much as I like TocarTouch Me Now and some others, I think it's gotta be TocarTwilight World. First and best.

    9. What is your favorite song by 5? (菅野よう子)
    Favorite Yoko Kanno song? Srsly? I guess back in middle school I had an obsession with Wo Qui No Coin. Honestly though, way too many to choose.

    10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (茶太)
    I dunno about happy per se, but やまと somehow touches me deeply. Other than that だんご大家族 is a nice cute happy song.

    11. What is your favorite album by 40? (Little Wing)
    REVERIE -Sound Sketch 'Kino's Journey'- Only one I got.

    12. What is your favorite song by 10? (新居昭乃)
    Tough choice. Top played is オマツリ.

    13. What is a good memory you have involving 33? (Gym Class Heroes)
    Seeing them live in concert at school.

    14. What is your favorite song by 37? (Moloko)
    Not sure. My favorite Roisin Murphy is Sow Into You, but that's not the same. Maybe TocarForever More.

    15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (葉月ゆら)
    Well 輝石 is gorgeous but I dunno about "happy."

    16. How many times have you seen 24 live? (Hiroshi Yamaguchi)
    None. Just a composer, anyway.

    17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Thomas Dolby)
    Oh god I could not tell you. The first song I obsessed over was TocarScreen Kiss though.

    18. What is your favorite album by 11? (Modest Mouse)
    I haven't heard all of them, but of the two I have I think I like Good News for People Who Love Bad News better.

    19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (HANA Wakusei Music)
    Well, seeing as Se-ko Izumi is really the only member, I suppose that'd be her. This is the same answer I had last time I took this quiz.

    20. Have you ever seen 14 live? (Eiya)
    None.

    21. What is a good memory involving 45? (m-flo)
    Making fun of the "boom clap boom b-boom clap" at the beginning of Miss You in the school courtyard thing at HS.

    22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Masami Ueda)
    The stuff from the Okami OST. No favorite.

    23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Tomohito Nishiura)
    The Dark Chronicle opening theme, Endless Adventure.

    24. What is your favourite album by 21? (Laura Veirs)
    Somehow I knew this question would come up. Saltbreakers is the first I've heard, and the only one I've listened to exetensively, so that one.

    25. What is your favourite song by 18? (kukui)
    透明シェルター, deffo. Also the first one I heard.

    26. What is the first song you ever heard by 38?
    Iain Ballamy or 光田康典. So, Sock Puppets / Flyover, being the opening to Mirrormask, and Time's Scar, probably.

    27. What is your favourite lyric by 3? (下村陽子)
    No lyrics, it's instrumental.

    28. What is your favourite song by 2? (Clouds)
    Favorite Clouds song, really? Maybe Wave. 4 pm is also good, and like, a ton of other songs. (Australian indie Clouds)

    29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Mika Matsuura)
    I'll say Cursed Shinshu Field.

    30. What is your favorite song by 8? (Värttinä)
    Stop asking me these things! Most of the songs on Miero I think.

    31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (Gnarls Barkley)
    None.

    32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (hicalculator)
    Life is Game or Fight it out.

    33. What is you favourite album by 12? (Yo Gabba Gabba!)
    All the song collections suck actually. My own rips are my favorite album.

    34. What is the worst song by 46? (Awesome New Republic)
    Their songs that aren't the first few of Rational Geographic Vol. 1.

    35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (OLIVIA)
    Bliss Forest.

    36. What is you favourite album by 42?
    Rei Kondoh, Hiroshi Ebihara, or 増田俊郎. Okami OST or Naruto OST.

    37. How many times have you seen 39 live?
    Iain Ballamy or 光田康典. None for both.

    38. What is your favourite album by 36? (Panic at the Disco)
    Pretty. Odd.

    39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (The Manhattan Transfer)
    I'm going with TocarBlue Serenade or TocarThe Offbeat of Avenues.

    40. What is you favourite album by 7? (Sanagi)
    I like both of 'em equal. Sailing The Seven Seas though, maybe.

  • Tournament of Fools, Round One

    Jul 16 2008, 14h06 por alfvaen

    This is borrowed directly from a recent series of journals by JoeIsListening, wherein one takes 64 songs selected at random from one's playlist and puts them in an elimination tournament which I gather is based somewhat on basketball playoffs or something. I don't know from basketball, so I won't comment on that. To quote from Joe, "These will be divided into 32 musical face offs. Losers go away and the winners advance until 'there can only be one.'" I eliminated any under-1-minute tracks from the list, but didn't bother with a ten-minute-plus track or a number of 8-9 minute ones.

    I am also borrowing Joe's Difficulty-O-Meter, which "gauges the degree of difficulty in deciding which song advances. The scale runs from * (no contest, no thought required) to ***** (pass the razor blades)".

    Now, I've got close to 30,000 tracks in my system, many of which I could not hum even a snatch of upon seeing the title, so this could be interesting, or not as much. Let's see.

    1. Lebanese Blonde (French mix) by Thievery Corporation
    vs.
    2. Relax (Come Fighting) by Frankie Goes to Hollywood
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Frankie
    Comments: Both of them good grooving tracks, but I think "Relax" got the edge because of my greater familiarity with it, and perhaps it's a bit less laid-back and a little more forceful.

    3. TocarBroken Birds by Jane Siberry
    vs.
    4. 7 8 9 by Barenaked Ladies
    Difficulty: *
    Winner: The Ladies
    Comments: Little contest here--a pretty much acoustic track from a past-her-prime Siberry doing a misguided album of songs she wrote as a teenager, versus a catchy children's song from Canada's top popsters.

    5. Heat of the Moment by Willy DeVille
    vs.
    6. TocarDreamin' by Lou Reed
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Willy
    Comments: Willy DeVille mostly wins by default, because the Lou Reed track, from his subdued "Magic & Loss", is just not very strong. We'll see how Willy does in the next round...

    7. TocarHell in a Handbasket by Drywall
    vs.
    8. Framed by Saga
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Drywall
    Comments: This is far from my favourite track from Stan Ridgway's "Drywall" project, but it's still at least distinctive enough to edge out a less-familiar prog-rock track from Saga.

    9. TocarAfterglow by Genesis
    vs.
    10. The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
    Difficulty: *
    Winner: Flash
    Comments: A weak track from a weak Genesis album against one of the classic songs of rap music? Okay, I'm not rap's biggest fan, but Grandmaster Flash nailed this one.

    11. Slip Inside This House by The 13th Floor Elevators
    vs.
    12. Close But No Cigar by Weird Al Yankovic
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Al
    Comments: A catchy, appealing tune from Weird Al's latest album, even if not one that stuck out on first listen, holds its own against Roky Erickson's eerie tune.

    13. We're Just Temporary Ma'am by White Whale
    vs.
    14. The Warrior by Scandal
    Difficulty: *****
    Winner: The Whale
    Comments: Okay, "The Warrior" is a classic of 80's pop-rock, where White Whale are just some obscure upstart indie-rock band, but "We're Just Temporary Ma'am" is catchy and has a great title, which won out over nostalgia by a hair.

    15. Prayer Meeting by Chet Atkins
    vs.
    16. Ultraviolence by New Order
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: The Order
    Comments: While "Ultraviolence" is one of those tracks that I couldn't hum you a bar of right now, it still outdoes a Chet Atkins instrumental cover version from "Solid Gold '68". Or, at least, this particular one.

    17. My Hippy Angel by Bob Geldof
    vs.
    18. TocarThe Luxury by The Tragically Hip
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Sir Bob
    Comments: While the Tragically Hip have some great songs, I have trouble getting into a lot of their album tracks, while Geldof's song is a fun listen.

    19. TocarRocket by Primitive Radio Gods
    vs.
    20. TocarTake Me Away by Fefe Dobson
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Fefe
    Comments: Though Dobson's Avrilesque charms are overly obvious, they nonetheless outweigh those of that PRG guy.

    21. Stay Awake by Suzanne Vega
    vs.
    22. TocarStreets of Banaras by Ann Mortifee
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Ann
    Comments: This was an interesting pairing. I love Suzanne Vega's a cappella take on the Mary Poppins song, but somehow her quiet, deadpan song paled next to Ann Mortifee's intense, histrionic soprano workout.

    23. TocarFurry Old Lobster by Jonathan Coulton
    vs.
    24. The Last Word by Mary Chapin Carpenter
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Mary
    Comments: Mary Chapin Carpenter wins out over Jonathan Coulton for having more clever lyrics, but this is admittedly one of Coulton's weaker numbers.

    25. As Good as New by ABBA
    vs.
    26. TocarThe Nightfly by Donald Fagen
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: BAAB
    Comments: The throbbing disco beat and harmonies have it over Fagen's soft jazz and wry weary-radio-DJ lyrics.

    27. TocarQuestions in a World of Blue by Julee Cruise
    vs.
    28. TocarThe Rhythm of the Heat by Peter Gabriel
    Difficulty: **
    Winner: Pete
    Comments: Julee Cruise is just a little too wispy to take on the primal power of even the live version of one of Gabriel's best tracks.

    29. Tomber by Laurence Jalbert
    vs.
    30. TocarTapestry by Carole King
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Laurence
    Comments: Laurence Jalbert, who on this song strikes me as a sort of Francophone Melissa Etheridge, edges out Carole King on this one.

    31. You Took My Heart by Chris Isaak
    vs.
    32. TocarJunior by John Mellencamp
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Cougar
    Comments: John Mellencamp's story was a little more compelling than Isaak's bouncy lament.

    33. Chance (single version) by Big Country
    vs.
    34. TocarMessages by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: BC
    Comments: The OMD track just wasn't striking me, which left Big Country on top by default.

    35. Animation by Jon Anderson
    vs.
    36. TocarFoxglove by Bruce Cockburn
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Bruce
    Comments: The Jon Anderson track just went on and on, leaving the field open for Cockburn's little guitar instrumental.

    37. What If We Don't Get What We Want? by 13 Engines
    vs.
    38. TocarRooms on Fire by Stevie Nicks
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Lucky 13
    Comments: An uncharacteristically low-key track from alt-rockers 13 Engines, which takes out past-her-prime Stevie.

    39. TocarMermaid Smiled by XTC
    vs.
    40. TocarPerfect World by Talking Heads
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: XTC
    Comments: I'm not that familiar with the XTC track, actually, but it manages to beat out one of my less-than-favourite Heads tracks.

    41. TocarManto's Arrow and the Sphinx by Andreas Vollenweider
    vs.
    42. TocarEric's Theme by Vangelis
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Vangelis
    Comments: Despite (or, perhaps, because of) what sounds like Lisa Gerrard wailing in the background, Andreas Vollenweider is unable to beat the majestic track of "Chariots of Fire".

    43. Kissing Gate by Sam Brown
    vs.
    44. TocarFading Lights by Genesis
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Ms. Brown
    Comments: Not my favourite Sam Brown track, but it's better than the dull and overlong Genesis song, at least.

    45. TocarWhat a Day That Was by David Byrne
    vs.
    46. There Won't Be Trumpets by Stephen Sondheim
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Mr. Sondheim
    Comments: Perhaps if the Byrne song had been the "Stop Making Sense" version, it might have beaten out this minor Sondheim song from the "Side By Side By Sondheim" revue.

    47. TocarThe Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen
    vs.
    48. Pull Me Down by Skydiggers
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Echo
    Comments: For a song I was unfamiliar with, the Skydiggers track was unexpectedly strong, but not enough to beat out the classic E&TB song.

    49. TocarSo Serious by Electric Light Orchestra
    vs.
    50. TocarBus Stop by The Hollies
    Difficulty: **
    Winner: Holly
    Comments: It'll take more than that silly ELO song to defeat one of the best pop songs of the 60's! I can see "Bus Stop" getting quite far in this competition, in fact...

    51. TocarDouble Take by Blondie
    vs.
    52. Islands of the Future by Gentlemen Without Weapons
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Blondie
    Comments: Oh, my. The Blondie song is pretty silly, and from their latter days, but what is it up against? While Gentlemen Without Weapons sounded more pop than new-age with their synthesizers filled with animal and natural sounds, this song contains a gagworthy voiceover from a young Fairuza Balk that eliminates it from this round.

    53. TocarGrimsby by Elton John
    vs.
    54. Nightswimming by R.E.M.
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: REM
    Comments: The Elton John song is okay, but not great, and the REM song has been growing on me lately.

    55. Careful With That Axe, Eugene by Pink Floyd
    vs.
    56. TocarThe Horns of Rohan & The Battle of the Pelennor Fields by Bo Hansson
    Difficulty: **
    Winner: Floyd
    Comments: Oh, please. There's no way that Hansson and his synthy Lord of The Rings soundtrack can compete with such an epic of prog. I mean, with screaming and everything!

    57. Look Down by Claude-Michel Schönberg
    vs.
    58. Saskatchewan Sea by The SplendourBog
    Difficulty: ****
    Winner: Les Miz
    Comments: The SplendourBog song is an interesting ode to Canada's flattest province, but it can't decide whether to be serious or jokey, so the Les Misérables track, not one of my favourites but decent enough, narrowly pulls ahead of it.

    59. The Story of One Chord by Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper
    vs.
    60. Lovers Anonymous by 10cc
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Mojo
    Comments: The Mojo & Skid track is silly stuff, and so is the 10cc I suppose, but the 10cc track has the disadvantage of being pretty dull musically, so it drops out.

    61. TocarI Wanted Your Heart by Magazine
    vs.
    62. Love Don't Need No Tyranny by Tanita Tikaram
    Difficulty: ***
    Winner: Tanita
    Comments: Neither of these are songs I'm that familiar with, but the Magazine track was grating on me a bit on this listen, so Tanita takes it through greater tunefulness.

    63. Amelia by Joni Mitchell
    vs.
    64. TocarFuture Call by Jill Cunniff
    Difficulty: **
    Winner: Jill
    Comments: While I like a number of Joni Mitchell songs, this isn't one of them. I mean, my favourite album of hers is "Chalk Mark In A Rain Storm", for heaven's sake. Jill Cunniff's isn't quite Luscious Jackson, but it's still a more fun listen.

    Next week, or so, Round Two, where the 32 winners in this round duke it out with each other...

  • Farewell, 2007

    Dez 27 2007, 12h45 por CK-2587

    Let's have a look at my Rolling Year Charts (Top 50 only) and in how far they might differ from my accumulated Overall preferences... and now if there are some striking developements to find.

    I think Dream Theater can be called the artist of my year. They're at the top of my Rolling Year charts by now and climbed up to position 3 in my Overall charts, no surprise, since I completed my DT-discography this year. And I must say: I enjoyed every single album and song, from Awake to Systematic Chaos, from TocarSpace-Dye Vest to As I Am.

    Two artists have crossed the line of 1,000 played tracks this year: ayumi hamasaki, off course, and Andreas Vollenweider, whose music was inspirational as usual, on many occasions. Ayumi still resides on top of my charts and I dare to predict that she'll stay there, especially because her new album GUILTY will arrive soon. Nonetheless, I think my charts evened out a bit. She is not as dominating as she was in 2006, which does not imply I like her less (which is nearly impossible ;)).

    There are some promising newcomers (at least they are new to me): I discovered the sound of japanese metal band onmyo-za and got quite hooked on it. How couldn't I, since they combine a lot of things I call myself a admirer of. Also, I started listening to Shiina Ringo and Tokyo Jihen.

    Other artists are quite stable - HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR (I'm rather fond of their LUNA SEA cover ROSIER) and ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION have always been a pleasure to listen to.

    2007 was a great year, at least in terms of music. And I do not want to complain about all other aspects of life, thus:

    A happy and prosperous year 2008 to all of you!

  • Country Survey

    Ago 28 2007, 10h00 por CK-2587

    I think it would be quite interesting to know where the majority of my music (and plays) comes from (top 50 only) - even though I know already that I, despite being german, barely listen to german musician/bands/composers.

    But let's check:

    Germany (4 artists/530 plays):

    Hans Zimmer (326 plays)
    Klaus Badelt (90 plays)
    Long Distance Calling (58 plays)
    Xandria (56 plays)

    United Kingdom (8 artists/1338 plays):

    65daysofstatic (380 plays)
    Muse (265 plays)
    Katie Melua (212 plays)
    Gorillaz (164 plays)
    Arctic Monkeys (120 plays)
    Mogwai (76 plays)
    Porcupine Tree (63 plays)
    Bloc Party (58 plays)

    United States (12 artists/2989 plays):

    John Williams (649 plays)
    Dream Theater (456 plays)
    Linkin Park (330 plays)
    Red Hot Chili Peppers (310 plays)
    System of a Down (233 plays)
    Weezer (219 plays)
    Clint Bajakian(?) (162 plays)
    Queens of the Stone Age (161 plays)
    Robert Rodriguez (142 plays)
    Evanescence (140 plays)
    Tool (128 plays)
    Nine Inch Nails (59 plays)

    France (2 artist/175 plays):

    Jean-Michel Jarre (114 plays)
    Air (61 plays)

    Netherlands (1 artist/243 plays):

    Within Temptation (243 plays)

    Sweden (3 artists/263 plays):

    Machinae Supremacy (133 plays)
    Mando Diao (77 plays)
    Opeth (60 plays)

    Italy (1 artist/292 plays):

    Ennio Morricone (292 plays)

    Finland (1 artist/159 plays):

    Nightwish (159 plays)

    Switzerland (1 artist/903 plays):

    Andreas Vollenweider (903 plays)

    Iceland (1 artist/278 plays):

    Björk (278 plays)

    Mexico (1 artist/115 plays)):

    Chingon (115 plays)

    Canada (1 artist/536 plays):

    Howard Shore (536 plays)

    Japan (14 artists/3551 plays):

    ayumi hamasaki (958 plays)
    ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION (416 plays)
    HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR (397 plays)
    Akira Yamaoka (375 plays)
    YUI (241 plays)
    D'espairsRay (229 plays)
    Dir en grey (199 plays)
    LUNA SEA (166 plays)
    Do As Infinity (120 plays)
    Michiru Oshima (114 plays)
    Nobou Uematsu (101 plays)
    ELLEGARDEN (88 plays)
    Nana Kitade (82 plays)
    Utada Hikaru (65 plays)

    Well, Japan easily wins by artists and (thanks to Ayumi) by plays as well... not unexpected.
