I've been listening to Kanye all out for basically the last month. Every album like 20 times over. My last.fm profile is www.last.fm/user/mattgibbs95 - that basically covers everything I like. Mainly hip-hop and indie

I love Celebration
Did you catch him at the Big Day Out?

 

[coolknot]

I mostly listen to Coldplay, Nigahiga and whatever the popular songs at the moment are.

 

[Willo #6]

Yup, like them a lot... I also like birds... (GEDDIT)

Haha good one

Electro-Shock Blues is one of my favourite albums ever. And Beautiful Freak, and Daises of the Galaxy, End Times... Ah, it's all so good.

 

[coolknot]

I've never heard of any of these artists except for Kanye West, Kid cudi, Hilltop Hoods, Bliss n eso, Bob Dylan, Nirvana and The Beatles.

 

[HARPSichord]

**** I love Boy & Bear.

 

[coolknot]

And I've heard of Boy & Bear as well.

I wish Bowakawa. Didn't have the cash for BDO at the time unfortunately.

The artists that have probably impacted the most are Kanye and Panic! at the Disco. I really do love them. All three albums are so different but I can appreciate them all in a different way. I'm a massive Two Door Cinema Club fan too.

Yep, I remember when I discovered The Beatles.

I was 14 and in America and The Beatles Rock Band was about a week from coming out... because we had to do a lot of driving interstate we listened to a lot of radio and pretty much EVERY station was just playing Beatles to advertise/celebrate the game's release, I absolutely fell in love and got my dad to buy me the game when we got back to Australia, where I even further fell in love.

Once I had played every song on the game about 10 times, I made the fantastic discovery that we had every single Beatles record on vinyl inside our record player, I listened to every record pretty much straight, it was magical.

I've never stopped listening since

I started listening last year while driving from Montreal to New York, my host family weren't into music at all except for their son. The whole trip down we listened to The Beatles and other bands from the 70s/80s, mainly from the list that Rolling Stone magazine made of their top 500. Listen to them everyday now on the way to school. Great band. Great band.

I was lucky, my sister bought me a ticket for my Birthday, it was so f***ing hot, and we had to stay out all day to see Cage The Elephant who were on at like 11am, then to Kanye who played from like 10pm - 12am, but it was so ****ing worth it, he gave me a hi-5

Gibbsy, how does last.fm work?

I don't really know the full premise, but I'm pretty sure its flagship service is a tailored internet radio station for your own musical interests. I don't use it for that, I just it to track my play counts and to recommend different music, but I think that's the drawcard. It hooks up to your iTunes so whenever you listen to songs it automatically "scrobbles" to your profile

Talk about music in Random Chat Thread 7 can only mean

[TheDoctor11]

It is the name of the song though. Makes it very awkward when radio djs announce it's coming up next.

 

[Andonis1997]

I am walrus coo coo ca choo

 

[justlookingaround]

I am walrus coo coo ca choo

Do you know the backstory for that song, Andoni?

 

[Andonis1997]

Well, I know they were high when they wrote it. But that's about it.

 

[justlookingaround]

Well, I know they were high when they wrote it. But that's about it.

Haha, well yep, John said he wrote each verse on a different acid trip...

But the idea behind it was that a kid wrote John a letter, saying that in his music class they were analysing his lyrics, trying to work out metaphors and messages John used in his songwriting... so he got the fantastic idea to write a song like "I am the Walrus" to confuse anyone who was trying to make something out of it...

 

[Andonis1997]

Hahaha good idea. Do you know the hidden meaning for "Lucy and the sky of diamonds"??

 

[LadyPants]

Completely off topic, but I just watched the new Mad Men and to anyone else who has seen it the end got me thinking, how would you deal with a body. I came across this site, http://ask.metafilter.com/7921/If-y...ou-dispose-of-the-body-without-getting-caught pretty weird stuff, scroll down a bit until you see a huge post. Most ****ed up shit I've seen in a while.

 

[Andonis1997]

I love one of the members post:
Remind me to NEVER piss off Scarabic! Haha.

 

[Ochre]

Childish Gambino > Kanye

 

[kayliesharks]

Ochre, that's like saying 7 > 6, completely true.

 

[justlookingaround]

Hahaha good idea. Do you know the hidden meaning for "Lucy and the sky of diamonds"??

Well that one's debated... the only thing we KNOW is true is that the title came from a drawing Julian Lennon did for a girl in his class Lucy...

That being said, the song is probably still about LSD.
