Re: Judge Jukebox Judy Jury Duty Mystical Musical Justice Ga

Here's an idea. Someone posts a link to an mp3 from a legal source such as myspace, that soundclick one, peoplesound, certain mp3 blog posts, etc...for us all to comment on, discuss and give a score out of 10, allowing us all to play Simon Cowell for a bit

Rules
Nothing from RAS - we are are already aware of this site's awesomeness, otherwise we wouldn't be here.

None of our own music - it'll only cause tears. We need some professional objectivity here

This is my offering, "Song Song Song" by someone who goes by the name "Final Fantasy" who's interviewed on this page. Anyone heard of this guy?

Anyway, the reason I chose this is I just can't make up my mind about it. It's heady mix of classical strings, a little light hippy-folkish vocal in there...and, oh I almost forgot...GREAT BIG FRICKIN'  KODO DRUMS! This sounds like something I should love, but for some reason I think it doesn't seem to quite gel. Acctually, no maybe it's growing on me. The vocal is so naive, like it's on Sesame Street or something. It's not half as interesting as the instrumentation though. I DON'T KNOW! I really want to embrace this...is it too mad for it's own good though? Maybe his voice would be better in a simpler, acoustic setting. I just expected a voice on a track like this to be a bit more epic. Am I missing the point?

7/10 from me on this one. It reminds me of the soundtrack to Akira. Nuff said.

Discuss.

I would participate, but I'm in the middle of moving.  Goodbye, sweet RAS studio of yore!

P.S. I got married on Monday.

[Derwood Bowen]

Cool, congratulations.  Are you moving your music equipment to the new house now?

[Ashley]

I love how no one tells us anything.

[Benj]

Cool, congratulations.  Are you moving your music equipment to the new house now?

I will be moving starting this Sunday or Monday.  My new recording studio will be in a neat fully-finished room over the garage.  The walls are pink, though.  Perhaps that will influence my songwriting (until I repaint them).  Maybe after I've fully moved in I can start doing some music again.  Whee!

Sorry for not telling you earlier, Ashley.  Just figured I wouldn't burden you with details of my personal life.

P.S. My cat had kittens one week ago!

P.P.S. Like that.  It's true, by the way.  Anybody want a kitten?

P.P.P.S. Sorry for ruining your thread, Doraemon.  I suppose I'll split it soon.

Two things:
How could you not tell me that?
and
how could you tease me like that?

I am dying for kittens but I am not allowed.

If two people ask, I'll put up a picture of them.

Hey congratulations Benj.  That is great news about your wedding!  Hope the move goes well.  Pink walls?  Are they HOT pink walls by any chance?  Because man that would create some crazy music.

EDIT: Also, consider this a request for the kitten pictures - to help Ashley out a bit.  That would make two people wouldn't it?

They're a soft baby-pink.  It used to be a baby's nursery (guess what sex).  And I'm gonna rock the place. Wooo!

I think Ashley has to ask for a picture formally first.  Then there will be two people.  Besides, I need some time to delay and get off my lazy butt and upload one.

[Ashley]

I would like mulitple pictures of multiple kittens, please.

[Benj]

Ok.  You requested them, so here they are:



From left to right: Gracie, Lincoln, Molly, and Bubba

These pictures are from when they were about a day old (one week ago).  They are now 8 days old.



Here's their mother, Tanooki, sniffing Lincoln's tiny paw.  We'll probably keep two of them and give the other two to relatives.  Otherwise we'd have 6 cats...

The song "13 Cats" is starting to hit closer to home.  :lol:
