Music: according to Gowienczyk

[Gowienczyk]

So, guys!

While reading some old threads (and Afterstasis AOTW mostly) I thought I'd throw together this random discussion topic for whatever songs I decided I want the forum to listen to and comment about. I know I'm no Afterstasis in library, but well anybody who's seen my library knows it's not so small. So YEAH something. I THINK WE ALL SHOULD TALK ABOUT MUSIC ACCORDING TO GOWIENCZYK. But yeah, here's the song of the moment, from power pop / rock group Sextus. Inspired by Jellyfish and Matthew Sweet from what I hear, anyway. Here's the tune:

'You Might Should Know' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os6CO7f0xZg) by Sextus

Okay, yeah! What do you think?

:p

[TheCrimsonSaint]

Fred Durst would be proud.

[Mystlyfe77]

I think I may listen to it later, but Coma of Souls is too fun to turn off right now.

[Fizzeler]

Good guess is Magenta will eventually end up here :D

Song is interesting :)

[Gowienczyk]

It really does remind me of Matthew Sweet (he had a song in guitar hero called 'Girlfriend' if you recall) personally. I really dig the energy.

[supernova1324]

That was really good. Like the guy's voice. I'll check out more of them on last.fm considering you also reccomended them in the reccomendations thread.

[Gowienczyk]

If they have any samples on last.fm!

[supernova1324]

FUUUUUUUUUU- (http://www.last.fm/music/Sextus) a

[Gowienczyk]

I'd just look for their 2008 full length, Stranger Than Fiction.

[Onslaught_fei]

I think I may listen to it later, but Coma of Souls is too fun to turn off right now.

holy **** that is my favorite kreator album!

[Gowienczyk]

I never really liked Kreator, haha.

[Lolicat]

Like I said earlier on MSN, I thought they were ok, but had nothing to mark them out from your usual power-pop band. Good background music, but I demand moar from what I listen to.

[Onslaught_fei]

I never really liked Kreator, haha.

You have never struck me as one for tastebuds for many thrash cuts.

[Mystlyfe77]

holy **** that is my favorite kreator album!

Mine too. Though Extreme Aggression is also great.


I never really liked Kreator, haha.

I kinda have to be in a thrash mood for them. I can't just turn them on any time and be into it. But if I'm in the mood for thrash, they're great at filling it. Hell, if you look at my last.fm, you can see that I actually was listening to a couple tracks off of Kill 'Em All before them, and that got me in the mood.

[Gowienczyk]

You have never struck me as one for tastebuds for many thrash cuts.

But I like a lot of thrash acts... from Gargoyle to Testament to Artillery to Wardog to Stormtroopers of Death and watnot.

[Onslaught_fei]

But I like a lot of thrash acts... from Gargoyle to Testament to Artillery to Wardog to Stormtroopers of Death and watnot.

My random opinions on these bands are:

Gargoyle: Yuck yuck yuck
Testament: **** yes.
Artillery: Surprised you know this. I love anything Flemming Rasmussen touches.
Wardog: I have 1 album by them and its power metal
SoD: Crossover, not true thrash

So Ill give you 2 out of 5 ;p

[Mystlyfe77]

Crossover is good enough, cut the man a break. :P

I finally got around to listening to the song Gowie linked. I really enjoyed the intro, but the vocals were a little too "poppy" for me. It wasn't bad, just not my thing.

Yeah, Wardog was mistagged. Also there's a lot of bands called Gargoyle. We talking about the same one who released their self-titled in '88? and crossover is so much 'tr00' than traditional thrash. Takes more from punk and watnot.

Other thrash cuts I like:

Believer
The Crucified
Meltdown
Metal Church
Municipal Waste
Narcotic Greed
Overkill

It's power pop, what did you expect? :p

[Mystlyfe77]

It's power pop, what did you expect? :p

Fair enough. I didn't expect anything else, just thought I'd give it a shot.

Ironically, listen to the vocals on what I'm listening to currently. :rolleyes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqoz7oEbFF0


Also, MUNICIPAL WASTE IS GONNA **** YOU UP! :cool:

[moose39]

Fred Durst would be proud.

After making that lovechild with Axl Rose.

[Gowienczyk]

Okay it's midnight on my end; so I think I'll make this a daily thing. Song a day sort of shindig. Here's the new tune that I'd like you folks to hear and comment on:

'Wagon Wheel' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2vJUadjdmo) by Old Crow Medicine Show

[Lolicat]

Video doesn't work for Euro**** liek me.

[Gowienczyk]

Changed the video source, try again!

[Lolicat]

Awesome. Gonna d/l an album.

[Gowienczyk]

:)

[back_blows]

Sextus wasn't too bad. I do feel the Matthew Sweet vibe as you mentioned, but I didn't like their vocals as much as Sweet. Didn't particularly care for the Old Crow Medicine Show.

[Gowienczyk]

Sextus wasn't too bad. I do feel the Matthew Sweet vibe as you mentioned, but I didn't like their vocals as much as Sweet. Didn't particularly care for the Old Crow Medicine Show.

Ah, I see. The vocals are a bit spotty on the Sextus song, I think.

Why nots on the OCMS?

[back_blows]

Ah, I see. The vocals are a bit spotty on the Sextus song, I think.

Why nots on the OCMS?

Not a big fan of old-time string and the flinty voice just didn't do it for me.

[Gowienczyk]

Can't win 'em all I suppose!

[warthogdb]

OCMS: I like the idea of young people doing traditional music and I like the song okay. The risk you run on this forum of course is somebody will say that the older version of this style is better than the newer but I applaud your choice.

Sextus: I listened to some of their other stuff, too. They are a fair representation of power pop. I actually hear some Cheap Trick in there which is I suppose most power pop bands should show that influence. I like Matthew Sweet better.

I don't think that our overall taste and philosophy is that different despite the fact that most of your responses to my posts are less than kind.

[Gowienczyk]

Eh, it depends on the mood I've been in. I really do admit I was a douche back in september and october, but I've tried not to be so direct, blunt and quick to attack peoples opinions. Once you get to know me, my opinions don't seem so annoying though I think.

Is it bad that I really don't remember what I've said to you in the past?

But I applaud you for your open-mind and good attitude. :)

[dabears116]

But I like a lot of thrash acts... from Gargoyle to Testament to Artillery to Wardog to Stormtroopers of Death and watnot.

Artillery's great, although you seem to not like some thrash. From what I've seen you don't like Megadeth, Sepultura, and Sodom, why? I'm just curious as to why, especially Sodom.

[Gowienczyk]

I like Megadeth.

Sodom and Kreator I found boring and Sepultura's grade of thrash is low and meek imo.

I wasn't looking for an apology. I don't mind the bluntness as long as there is a well thought out opinion behind it. I like a good passionate debate.

There are too many of the "regulars" around here who never really share or defend their point of view. They just type quick insults in abbreviations that us old guys don't understand.

Well, I felt some sort of apology was deserved! You certainly earned my respect from that reply of yours. :)

If I may say so, you are definitely much better now than you were then.;)

[Gowienczyk]

Yeah, I think so. Less abrasive and don't go looking to irritate people off the bat now, haha. Anyway new song:

'Are Forever' (http://www.last.fm/music/Majority+Rule/Emergency+Numbers/Are+forever+(instrumental)) by Majority Rule

[back_blows]

I like this. It has a chaotic feel to it.

[Gowienczyk]

Well that's the point of 'screamo' (god I hate that term), throw some harsh or the rare melodic vocals on top of that and you have a song usually. But Majority Rule put out this instrumental track and I think its the best gateway for non-screamo fans. :)

[back_blows]

I'm not too familiar with "real screamo", but if the rest of the genre is as good as this I'm in for a treat.

[Gowienczyk]

The entirety of Emergency Numbers (http://www.last.fm/music/Majority+Rule/Emergency+Numbers) is on last.fm for full streaming! :)

[afterstasis]

i find that a lot of open-minded fans of other more chaotic and raw styles of music (such as black metal, noise, etc.) end up digging screamo when presented with the good stuff.

i'm listening to the album now. i have their other one, but haven't heard anything from this one before.

[Mystlyfe77]

I actually like Majority Rule, one of the better bands from NoVA in recent years. Pity they broke up. :(

[Gowienczyk]

i'm listening to the album now. i have their other one, but haven't heard anything from this one before.

:eek:

[Gowienczyk]

I think I almost forgot to do today's song! Oh no!

'Sensitive Artist' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-kHB2fWUS8) by King Missile

[Alright_Computer]

I think I almost forgot to do today's song! Oh no!

'Sensitive Artist' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-kHB2fWUS8) by King Missile

That song is awesome. <3

[MronoC]

I love the Old Crow Medecine Show song, of course I'm a sucker for banjo and fiddle. :)
I like the Sextus song more than I would have thought, I especially like subtle, kind of noisy additions to the arrangement.
The Majority Rule song is just... wow, I almost kind of want to say perfect, I don't think I've ever heard something that's so soothing yet at the same time kept my interest so piqued throughout.
"Sensitive Artist" is just brilliant, no explanation needed.

Awesome thread so far.

[Gowienczyk]

Thank for the comments! Guess it's time for today's tune people should hear!

'The Ballad of Noah' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1lTjA852RI) by K-OS

[Lolicat]

'The Ballad of Noah' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1lTjA852RI) by K-OS

I like this. The singing is much more interesting than most vocal contrasts in Hip Hop.

[Gowienczyk]

I'd expect you to know and enjoy K-OS before this thread, weird.

He does a great job summing up the anti-radiohead crowd. An ugly longhair living in his mothers basement. Brilliant!

Someone's just bitter.

Interestingly enough, I've never met a single radiohead fan that meets this description. I *have* however, met plenty of metalheads that do.

[Gowienczyk]

Back from my weekend of boring! But I didn't have a lot of time for the net due to friend being over and what not! But I'm glad you folks liked Cameron's tune. I always liked his music.

Music of the moment you should like listen to and stuff:

'I am Nietzche' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edpot4xOqsI) by Orchid

I can not convey in words how much I love the guitar tone in the intro, and then just chaos, awesome :D

[Gowienczyk]

That's why I love bands like Funeral Diner, Orchid and Majority Rule. They truly mastered that melody to chaos progression perfectly.

[Gowienczyk]

Been awhile! But was a bit sick; so I'll throw this up again.

SONG TIME GUIZ! One of my favorites, too.

'Nub' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wilcAlAal8) by The Jesus Lizard

[Tank9088]

Well,that song just got me into The Jesus Lizard.

[Gowienczyk]

This is good.

[afterstasis]

i'm sure you realize i approve of this, gowie.

[Gowienczyk]

i'm sure you realize i approve of this, gowie.

But of course! What's your favorite lizard record anyway?

[franticfish]

I too am a fan of The Jesus Lizard, excellent band.

[afterstasis]

But of course! What's your favorite lizard record anyway?

probably "goat", though i probably listen to "shot" just as often.

[Gowienczyk]

probably "goat", though i probably listen to "shot" just as often.

Shot is easily my favorite. Blue was my favorite up until I heard Shot.

[Gowienczyk]

Here's the next moment song thing, swap back to hippity hop.

'Personal Journalist' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2i8tmnl39o) by Sage Francis

That song was awesome, thanks for the link. I'm definitely going to check out The Jesus Lizard. :)

[timmay9]

Thank you Gowie for introducing them to me like a month ago. :)

[Gowienczyk]

What's a good starting album?

Shot or Blue.

[LegendofRock3021]

Shot or Blue.

Excellent, thanks Gowie. :)

[Gowienczyk]
