Pets Things that please me

[BALKAN]

Name a SS toon and I'll give it a whirl.

From the new album? "Rhyme or Reason"
Pretty cool tune, mostly about his estranged father (a topic which he's rarely touched too much on) bonus Star Wars references included.

 

[Quivorir]

I reckon headlights, the full version. Not the one that he did the video clip for. Its basically an apology to his mum.

 

[BALKAN]

I woulda picked headlights myself, shows how hes come full circle

I love how his discography is autobiographical almost.

And I BLOODY LOVE his throwbacks to old songs.
Like in 'So Far' when the beat switches to 'I'm Back' and 'Real Slim Shady'

It's sampling Time of the Season by the Zombies.

Went to burger king, they spat on my onion rings.

Lost my shit when I first heard it.

[BALKAN]

It's sampling, Time of the Season by the Zombies.

What's the verdict

 

[Quivorir]

We're waiting Gough

 

[Gough]

What's the verdict

It all sounds a bit samey to me, but he does have a decent way with words. I hope whoever wrote Time of the Season is seeing some coin though, he didn't just sample it he used it as a backing track.

Rod Argent, the original songwriter is really enthusiastic about Eminem's version.

It is often the highest form of flattery when an artist covers one of your songs or in the modern age re-works it with original as sample. One of the biggest stars in the world Eminem has done exactly that with The Zombies classic ‘Time Of The Season’ on his new album out this week ‘Marshall Mathers LP2′.

Rod Argent has given the track his blessing and told fans on Facebook, “I do understand people being defensive of a song and its original form, but I have to say – I love the re-working of “Time Of The Season” into “Rhyme Or Reason” on Eminem’s new album …. I love the energy, the invention; the way that Eminem constantly uses words and phrases from the original song as springboards to take off into all sorts of different areas – sometimes inverting the sentiments completely, always weaving complex patterns with fantastic wordplay (and often in a way that’s very funny) – and always full of life! I love “There’s no rhyme and no reason for nothing” being in sound so close to “It’s the time of the season for loving” while being at the same time pretty much the total antithesis of the original phrase in meaning. It absolutely mirrors the song while at the same time sending it tumbling into a different universe!

It has become a TOTALLY different work of art, rather than being, for instance, a limp cover. And that’s its strength. It doesn’t in any way threaten the original song or the original record! Rod x”

Beck's new album has been like that for me.

I only like one song from Beck.

[Gough]

Great song, Beck's a big part of the soundtrack to my early 20s.

 

[BALKAN]

LOL completely forgot that was a Beck song.

I've been singing it to myself for the past week.

Have a listen to the Lemonheads if you want real slacker rock. Evan Dando is dreamy too.

Another quote from my dad after a hot seat question about what YOLO stands for.

Dad: I didn't know it was an acronym.
Me: Really? How did you manage to avoid hearing that?
Dad: I don't know, I don't hang with these J-Lo people.

He is a treasure.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Wise man.

 

[BALKAN]

As they say, you only YOLO once

"Into your arms" is the one of the most pure bits of pop song writing ever.
