If you like The Beach Boys and/or Nintendo music, and have a Facebook, you should add the page I just made. The plan is to cover the wholePet Sounds album using almost nothing but MIDI, Micro Korg/MIDI controllers, 8-bit samples, Nintendo-ish VST files and Beach Boys vocal tracks. I may add in other instruments later to fill out the sound. I have some cool guitar ideas for Sloop John B that shouldn't take away from the Nintendo-ishness of it. We'll see though!

Tinted Windows - Tinted Windows






The supergroup’s debut (and only?) album turned out to be a fun little record. It’s like a trip back in time, all breezy and retro. Reminds me of The Beach Boys and That 70s Show with some hot Taylor Hanson flavour.

There are exquisite singers in this world and Taylor is one of those singers with his soulful delivery and strong, distinctive tone colour. He elevates these songs from simply good to something great. Catchy, hooky and perfect for summer. I like Messing With My Head, Dead Serious, Back With You, Without Love, We Got Something, Nothing to Me,... heck, I like all the songs.

8/10


Tracklist

Kind of a Girl
Messing With My Head

One question, Taylor - not that I don't enjoy your new musical endeavours, but when the friggin' hell is Hanson going to release a new album??? Less baby-making and more music-making, please! I miss you guyses, together, you know... being Hanson.
Btw, I really love the way he looks in here – all soft and... round? Hahaa...

1. What's your favorite song by 15?
(Janet Jackson) Definitely Go Deep, it is in my opinion one of the best R&B tracks of all time.

2. How did you get into 20?
(Michael Jackson) My mother was really into his music, and obviously the excessive plays from my childhood have made a lasting impression.

3. Who is your favorite member in 1?
(Fleetwood Mac) Stevie Nicks. I know it's cliché, but anyone who can write songs that beautiful and have such a prominent stage presence and keep the audience entranced with just the slightest gaze deserves to be a favourite.

4. What’s your favorite lyric bit by 29?
(Midlake)
'Bring me a day full of honest work,
And a roof that never leaks
I'll be satisfied.'

In context of the song, these lyrics are magical.

5. Have you ever seen 22 live?
(Dave Matthews Band) That would be a no.

6. What's your favorite album from 10?.
(Madonna) This is like asking me to pick a favourite child! I'm going to say Erotica, for the sheer fact I used to play it all the time when I was younger.

7. Do you own any merchandise from 3?
(Stevie Nicks) Just CDs.

8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
(Bat for Lashes) Walking along the beach near where I live listening to Two Suns just after it was released. The album fit the landscape so perfectly.

9. Is there a member of the same age as you in 2?
(Tori Amos) She was thirty years ago!

10. When did you first get into 8?
(Peter Gabriel) When I was going through my Kate Bush phase last year, I discovered she'd sang on a few tracks with him. I downloaded them, loved his voice and then checked out 3. I was hooked, and here we are today.

11. Who likes 4 along with you?
(Kate Bush) Quite a few of my friends like her, actually. Between me forcing them to endure her and loads of artists proclaiming her to be their main influence, she's became much more popular again than she was even a year and a half ago.

12. Which song did you first hear from 16?
(Suede) Saturday Night, because I found out Keeley Hawes was in the video. Love her, love the song.

13. What song made you fall in love with 5?
(Lindsey Buckingham) Go Insane.

14. Which song do you not like by 18?
(Cocteau Twins) There's none that I know of that I dislike. Perhaps I don't know enough of their work?

15. Why do you like 14's songs?
(Bryan Ferry) His voice is perfection, and they remind me of my childhood.

16. Where did you first hear 6?
(Roxy Music) Probably on some Sunday when I was tiny. My mother loves them, and they were the soundtrack to ironing days. (On another note, creepy coincidence with the above question, huh?)

17. How long was 19 a singer before you liked them?
(David Bowie) Only thirty-five years or so, not that long, ha.

18. Does 13 have a song that gives you a bad memory?
(Vanessa Carlton) Her songs are too pretty to give me bad memories.

19. When did you get into 17?
(Heart) I don't know, last summer?

20. How long have you been into 9?
(The Cure) About three and a half years.

21. If 11 had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them?
(Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) Due to the fact I worry that Tom Petty might die soon, I'd say a definite yes.

22. How many CDs do you own of 12?
(Buckingham Nicks) They've never released a CD, only a LP. Unless the album gets released on CD which I highly doubt, it'll probably always be none.

23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry?
(Siouxsie and the Banshees) Yes! The Last Beat of My Heart never fails to get me emotional.

24. Does 27 have a song that makes you happy?
(Sarah McLachlan) Into the Fire brings a smile to my face, most definitely.

25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile?
(Paramore) Misery Business for pure nostalgia.

26. What's the last song you've listened to from 28?
(Björk) Venus As A Boy, and I do love that song.

27. Is there a song by 32 that you've listened to more than 30 times?
(Kings of Leon) As my iTunes has only been going since August on this laptop, it doesn't say but I remember I definitely played Knocked Up over thirty times.

28. What is a song from 50 that you've only listened to once?
(New Order) There's a few.

29. Is there a song you are sick of hearing by 24?
(Don Henley) Not really, because he isn't played often unless I deliberately listen to "Oldie" radio stations.

30. What song got you into 40?
(Pink Floyd) I've no idea, I'm wanting to say Comfortably Numb but I can't be entirely sure.

31. What is your favorite single by 25?
(Tegan and Sara) I have no idea what's been released as singles and what hasn't.

32. If 49 hated you, what would you do?
(Destiny's Child) I'd be slightly upset, because that would mean Beyoncé hates me, and as I love her, I'd feel like a right cock.

33. What would you say if 42 or one of the members from 42 asked you out?
(Whitney Houston) Even though I'd be creeped out, particularly as I'm straight and she's about the same age as my mother, I'd definitely say yes. It's Whitney fucking Houston!

34. Would you care if 41 had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
(Eagles) Not really. They're all old enough to be my grandparents, although Don Henley was a handsome man.

35. Who has the best voice in 46?
(Prince) As it's just Prince, he is the voice of the music. And I love it.

36. Do you think 26 is/are good looking?
(Fiona Apple) She is beautiful, in a porcelain-doll way. My only qualm is that sometimes she looks too thin. That's not really my problem anyway though, is it?

37. How many times have you listened to your favorite song by 36?
(Journey) This is easy - Wheel In The Sky.

38. How many CDs do you own of 30?
(The Smiths) Just the one, which is Strangeways, Here We Come.

39. Is there a song from 38 that makes you mad?
(Lily Allen) Not really.

40. Which member from 31 do you want to see go solo? If 31 is only one artist, what would you do if they joined a group?
(Demi Lovato) I don't really want her to join a group, I like her voice on its own.

41. What does your favorite song from 48 remind you of?
(Patrick Wolf) The Childcatcher reminds me of my old Spanish lessons, discussing with my friend how creepy yet good this song was.

42. Did you hate 43 at first?
(Joni Mitchell) No, she's a legend! It took me a little while to "get" her, though.

43. Does your best friend also listen to 33?
(Beyoncé) Yes, who doesn't listen to her?

44. Do you think your parents would like 37?
(Amy Winehouse) They both like her, my mother especially.

45. Does 47 have a song that makes you want to dance?
(Blondie) Well, come on. Who hasn't danced to Heart Of Glass at some point in their lives?

46. Have you ever seen 34 in person?
(The Beach Boys) Of course not.

47. Do you like 44's name?
(Hole) It has rude connotations and is pretty simple, but definitely sums up the group.

48. Is there someone in 45 that you want to go out with?
(Ladyhawke) I wouldn't go out with Pip, but I'd like her to give me her hair.

49. Do you know anyone that hates 39?
(Christine McVie) No, because not many people disassociate her from Fleetwood Mac. If they hate Fleetwood Mac (i.e., my stepdad) then they probably would.

50. Have you ever danced to a song from 35?
(PJ Harvey) Her songs aren't danceable, really. Unless you count grunge style mosh-pits. So, no.

For realsies this time. No accidental clicking of the back button on my mouse at home, no random iTunes/VLC/Mozilla freeze that drops my computer faster than Timmy down the well.

Wow, I can't believe I've only seen one show since I've been in Texas...

01. How did you get into #31?

Chuck Berry - I've been hearing him on oldies radio since before I could talk.

02. What was the first song you ever heard by #22?

that's weird, the person I stole this from had Elliott Smith at number 22 also.
the first one I remember hearing was Angeles, but I don't think that's right. I had listened to him before but Angeles was the song that made me love him.

03. What's your favorite lyric by #41 ?
hmmm...I think a lot of them are really good although sometimes a little cheesy.
I've got torn up knees and calloused fingertips
broken vocal chords and busted lips
is a good one though.
Lucero - All Sewn Up


04. What is your favorite album by #49 ?

Make Yourself although I haven't listened to it in ages.


05. How many albums by #13 do you own?

Only three, Green River, and Chronicle Vols. 1 and 2. in my opinion, they didn't have that many good ones. when they were good they were awesome but when they weren't they were terrible.

06. What is your favorite song by #50 ?

I don't know I don't listen to them very much anymore. probably Bastard's Way, for nostalgia's sake.


07. Is there a song by #4 that makes you sad?

not really. I dunno, maybe Grandma Song. I'm even sure if it's supposed to be sad, but it kind of feels that way.


08. What is your least favorite song by #15 ?

I don't know. I think a lot of Iron & Wine's songs don't really sound like much, I think at a certain point you can have music that's TOO soft. some of the songs feel like they don't have any substance to them sometimes. but it does make for music that's really easy to go to sleep to.


09. What is your favorite song by #5

dude too many. in my opinion every single track from From Here To Infirmary, Goddamnit, and Good Mourning are fucking gold.


10. Is there a song by #6 that makes you happy?

Country Roads probably the most, but John Denver is happy music in general.


11. What is your favorite album by #40 ?

Songs From Under The Sink.


12. What is your favorite song by #10 ?

No Children, hands down. but Going to Georgia also has a very special place in my heart.


13. What is a good memory you have involving #33 ?

I grew up listening to The Beach Boys, so there's a lot of nostalgia attached to them. But my ex boyfriend opened my eyes to the brilliance of Pet Sounds, and that's also another really good memory. getting ridiculously baked and lying there listening to it over and over again, only moving to get up and flip the record.


14. What is your favourite song by #37 ?

I don't know probably Free Pizza For Life, but I have a love/hate relationship with Ghost Mice. I can't help but love it sometimes but if they come up on shuffle when I'm not in the mood, I will scrunch up my face and change it as soon as possible because their voices are so incredibly grating sometimes.


15. Is there a song by #19 that makes you happy?

Weezer is just happy music in general man. but particularly anything off the Green Album or the Blue Album. even the ones that are supposed to be angsty, it's like the happiest music on the planet.


16. How many times have you seen #24 live?

none. I almost saw AC/DC last year, but ended up backing out on spending $90 for one concert.


17. What is the first song you heard by #23 ?

Muse. It had to have been something from Origin Of Symmetry.


18. What is your favorite album by #11 ?

Requiem, no contest.


19. Who is your favorite member of #1 ?

Dude I had such a crush on Tom Gabel the entire time I was in high school, until I saw them live and I seriously think if Andrew Seward had asked me to sacrifice my virginity to him on stage that night in front of everyone, I probably would have done it, no questions asked.


20. How many times have you seen #14 live?

High on Fire, just once, but it may be twice very soon.


21. What is a good memory you have involving #45 ?

Neutral Milk Hotel...I can't really think of anything.


22. What is your favorite song by #16 ?

Either Grenades or Healer...or really anything from Meanderthal.


23. What is the first song you heard by #47 ?

I think it was Dick in Dixie, but if not that then definitely something off Straight to Hell.


24. What is your favorite album by #3 ?

I don't know, I don't think it matters much for an all covers band, but probably Love Their Country.


25. What is your favourite song by #18 ?

Baroness? probably Coeur.


26. What is the first song you heard by #38 ?

I have no idea. I'm sure I was totally stoned at the time. (Melvins)

27. What is your favourite lyric that #21 has sung?

I don't know...Green Day? some of them are pretty insightful I guess. (?)


28. What is your favourite song by #2 ?

god picking favorites is so hard. some of The Avett Brothers' songs seriously bring me close to tears. they make some damn beautiful music. but just for the sake of picking one I'll go with The Ballad Of Love And Hate


29. What is the first song you heard by #32 ?

I'm sure it was Blitzkreig Bop.


30. What is your favorite song by #8 ?

Favorite song by The Beatles? I'm going to take that as a rhetorical question.

31. How many times have you seen #17 live?

I've only seen Propagandhi once, a loooong time ago.


32. Is there a song by #44 that makes you happy?

Teardrops on Table 39. don't ask why, I have no idea.


33. What is your favorite album by #12 ?

Loretta Lynn? I don't know, probably Coal Miner's Daughter, to be completely honest.


34. What is the worst song by #29 ?

The Ataris have quite a few terrible songs. I can't pick just one. I also can't believe these guys are my #29? I think this must be due to shuffle because the last time I remember consciously choosing to listen to them was like 4 or 5 years ago.


35. What was the first song you heard by #34 ?

Ten Things. Oh, Paul Baribeau.

36. What is your favorite album by #42 ?

The Attic Tapes, and That Much Further West, but for two completely different reasons and I listen to them when I'm in completely different moods.


37. How many times have you seen #39 live?

I wish I could see Merle Haggard.


38. What is your favorite album by #36 ?

Probably Smile. Boris, not Brian Wilson


39. What is the first song you heard by #28 ?

Whiskey is my Kind of Lullaby. and it remains my favorite.


40. What is your favourite album by #7?

Bridge Over Troubled Water, without question.

god I'm so bored.

Here I am, once again. Today my profile turns 3 years old. It's been a decently big year for listening. I reached the big 50,000 tracks played, which was exciting. I finally got my songs per day average to 50, after it hovering in the 40s for a long time. Of course, then it dropped drastically over the summer when I didn't listen to much of anything. But now I'm going big again. So, let's see where my charts are.

So, there you have them. My charts as of today, though more music is playing on my iPod right now, which will undoubtedly cause this to be out of date by the time I publish it. So, who was big this year? Who's on the rise, who's falling, and who stayed the same?

Well, first off, TMBG asserted their place as first quite dominantly, as opposed to when they and The Beatles were neck and neck. The Beatles still got 1,000+ plays though, so they were not neglected. Gorillaz also had another solid year. Fountains of Wayne had a big year, and rose up a few spots, not a small feat for someone in the top 10 of my charts. Queen moved up as well.

The two biggest new additions are The Offspring and Daft Punk. While they were both in my charts a year ago, their presence was negligible. Now, they both have 400+ plays. Both are amazing. Daft Punk's Discovery is my album of the year, without a doubt.

PUSA also moved up a good bit, and deservedly so, as they were not receiving enough attention in the past from me. The Beach Boys and Billy Joel also made some moves. Nice

Bow Wow Wow rocketed up, since I finally listened to the music of theirs I had besides I Want Candy, and realized I liked it. Yay. Also, a welcome to the B-52's, who are fun times.

So, who is making big moves outside of my top 50? Well, Owl City will probably be there soon enough. It seems I can't get enough of it. Also, Yui is fun. Nice mellow j-pop-rock is fun. Men At Work and Colin Hay are looking at making their moves into the charts soon. Oh, also Susumu Hirasawa, with the soundtrack to Paprika, has made his presence felt. No doubt about it, some of these artists will be in my charts next year. O-Zone is on the way out, as is the SSB:Brawl soundtrack. Herman's Hermits just doesn't have what it takes to really compete with any real competition either, given the small number of their songs I have. But only time will tell.

That's it for now. My charts are pretty nice. They've settled somewhat into what they'll sort of look like for the predictable future. The top 10 won't change too much, the next 20 may shift around, but will have most of the same members. But things aren't so defined that they can't move at all, and that's why watching the charts is still fun. I'll see you in a year!
