Bit of Emily Haines on a Saturday morning... :)

OGs remember the first couple years of Metric -- the wonderfully-insane, glorious ramblings and non-sequitors of Emily Haines, in the weirdest venues you could think of -- a CBC show that aired at 12:30 a.m. (Zed), as a guest vocalist on other bands' records (or just randomly showing up in cameos in music videos)... you name it.

Stumbled upon this band today, and my god, they tick soo many of my boxes. The guitar lead starting at 0:38 is particularly exquisite, and the vocalist has such a gorgeous voice. Had a mildly shite day so something like this was much needed.

When I was mixing my latest original song recording, I decided to look up "What is the #1 Modern Rock Song right now" on the Googles, and got this massive jackbooted kick in the teeth from Ms. Taylor Momsen and her outfit, the Pretty Reckless (featuring Tom fucking Morello of all people).

"The world does NOT belong to you,
You are NOT the king, I am NOT the fool.
The world does NOT belong to you,
It don't belong to you...
IT BELONGS TO ME."

In Tekken 3 specifically, I prefer the Arcade BGMs.


But in Tekken 1 or 2, I could go either way. For example, with the Angkor Wat BGM from Tekken 1 which got reused in Tekken 2 as Kunimitsu's Stage BGM in the PS1 port.

I weirdly loved both of those OSTs, to be frank. I am going to do the not-internet thing and agree with you, and just say that Now I Am Listening To This:


From a DBZ Genesis Game I imported a long time ago, that was my introduction to the series; before that I had only a passing awareness of it.

For the Nujabes fans in here.


Haruka Nakamura is very talented. I'm not for sure if he actually played the instruments in this tribute or not. The original piano keys being played in this song, were sampled from a Noriko Kose song called "I Miss You." Haruka Nakamura did play the guitar on a few songs of Nujabes' while he was alive.
Reflection Eternal was the first song I ever heard by Nujabes almost 10 years ago. This tribute to him is very beautiful

I've been on a big Mike Oldfield kick of late, particularly Ommadawn. But relistening to Tubular Bells, man oh man that bass line in the intro sequence is so beautiful. For some reason it makes me think of Ecco the Dolphin. Awesome stuff.

This has very much just grabbed my brain and kept itself on a loop. The subtitles are also really well executed for parsing the lyrics, even if they're a bit contextual to some things with her past/character.

Both the movie and single version of Underground from the Labyrinth has been an earworm of mine for about the past week. Would love to hear them remade without a synthesizer, which is the only thing I think stops them sounding timeless. Imitated sound effects don't have a sense of realness to them, in my view. What I have an new found appreciation of however is the usage of the accordian.

This song has been a real slow burn for me, having listened to it here and there since it was released and it not doing much for me, but now I'm into it. I like that the music clip has some level of production value and thought put into it also, as well as the lyrics and how they're sung, adding to the conveyance of meaning deeper than just the words stated.



Music is my distant third interest after drawing and writing (with an expertise level of similar description), but I'd love to make some kind of truth-telling anthem for my own country or something similar to this here at some point. Momentarily inspired at least. I find trying to keep track of my music ideas harder than my writing and visual art ideas also, which is a pain in the ass. Just writing the notes on a manuscript and coming back to it later is no good, because there's a lot of information lost, unless I write specific annotations (which I don't :mon:).

For some reason I associate the sounds in this song with sideshow rides, probably because I've heard the song used at such places whilst in the midst of trauma for having gone on one of said "thrilling" "amusement" rides. Still, I manage to like the song a lot. I swear I've heard sounds in this song sampled elsewhere, namely in other music, and would be keen to learn if they have a name as well as the origins of it (the kind of sounds that begins at the 15 second, 19 second, and 39 second mark respectively, though I suspect they're all related, just morphologically different :P).
