I'm not entirely sure what my intent is, but I felt like using this journal again. Yay me for being so fucking awesome. Prepare for updates... probably graphics or some shit.

I would KILL for a fag right now.

When you download music, do you tend to download more single MP3s or full albums?

Myself, albums are all I want. If it's an artist I'm unfamiliar with, I want to hear more than just the song everybody's stuck on - that tends to be the worst on the album. If I know of the artist, maybe I've been having problems finding that album or its one I just don't find worth $16.

So I decided I'd start playing around with Photoshop. These suck, but it was purely experimentation, so next time I'll get it better. Hahaha.

MUSIC RANTINGS: 2007.07.10:

It's been a while since I've written about anything, even longer since I've actually talked music like I did in the good ol' days. Hahahah. Time to remedy that.

Let's start out with the "'WHERE THE FUCK HAS TIFFANY BEEN ALL THESE YEARS' DISCOVERIES". I have a couple artists here that you are simply going to slap me in the face over - because all sensability says there's no way I've missed out on them. Well, I did.

First, we have Alice Cooper. That's right, Alice Cooper - whom I discovered purely on accident. Sure, I'd heard some of his songs before, but never had I realized the name of the artist. So one day the name "Alice Cooper" is randomly thrown out there whilst I'm going through one of my "must-find-every-single-female-singer" phases. And of course, Alice is a female's name. So somebody posts an album on Livejournal and I download it. To my shock, it was not a female artist - but once I started listening, that did not much matter. I was instantly hooked. My favorite songs are Quiet Room, Ballad of Dwight Fry, and Black Widow.

Another one of those, "DUH, TIFFANY!" ones is Jefferson Airplane, particulary the song White Rabbit, which I finally listened to this week. I'd heard it before, but apparently never paid attention to a single lyric. This week I got so caught up in it that I listened to the song on repeat for like ever, I keep sticking it in my playlist, I leave my room and its all thats in my mind. I even changed a lot of my internet accounts to match with this song. I'm insane, I promise. But I looooooooooove the lyrics. THE BEST FUCKING SONG EVER, (yes, that is over even my favorite band, The Dresden Dolls. I mean this is deep shit!). How its taken me 19 years to finally listen to that song is a mystery.


Now that I've got that out of my system, I think its time inform you of what my music had been slacking up until this past week: my laptop crashed. HUGE bummer. I had a lot of music on that computer. Like all the Alice Cooper albums (I went on a spree when I started listening!), all the Red Hot Chili Peppers, all the Dresden Dolls and also Regina Spektor, along with rare tracks and live performance, and a bunch of different cabaret acts that were rather hard to find. So I've been sufferering - a lot.

(Oh, and for your information: when I say my laptop crashed, I mean LITERALLY. Apparently, when my brother broke the CD-drive several months back, the fall impacted the hardrive. It finally just stopped working. How it even survived so long is actually amazing. So should I charge my little brother the $300 I paid for this crap I'm using now or the $1000 my parents paid for that one? I don't know that I could even charge him at all because he has no money and that'd affect my parents, but that laptop was a Christmas gift to help with my going to school. Does that no longer matter now that I've graduated Remington and am no longer in school.... HUM.

Wow, I'm really off-topic!)

So if you would like to help a brother out, check out my current CD list here and send me whatever I don't have (you can probaly figure out what I'd want from my charts). And I'll upload any of those for you if you'd like. Or I can find where I've packed my real CDs (we're moving!) and upload some for you.

Other smaller discoveries that actually occurred this week:

A Whisper in the Noise - I really can't figure out how I feel about these guys yet, but in a good way... I think. On one hand, Through Wounds We Soon Will Stitch reminds me of Beck or maybe Aqualung. On the other hand, The Tale of Two Doves has that creepy cabaret style that I quite love, and then I just hate the song The Carpenters' Coalmen.

Aiden - there's not much to write about. They're an emo-type band, I guess. But I downloaded their album at the spur of the moment, and I really do like it. I gave Epinikion a try this week. I'd say they have potential, but her voice could use some training if they plan on making it very far.

Mentioning voices I just can't get into, I heard the new Nightwish album. I HATE the new singers voice. And I do mean hate it.

My favorite recent discovery has been Scarlet Room. Some songs remind me of a strong Amy Lee ballad, others perfectly cabaret, and then my favorite, the aggressively rockin' Hello to Hyde. I'd put Scarlet Room right up there with Katzenjammer Kabarette as the perfect direction for this genre.
