empracht "Yesterday" is a sad one. Also "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is one of my favorites and "Norwegian Wood" is also pretty sad. And "Eleanor Rigby" is another great one. They have quite a few sad ones, actually. But, oh so good.

empracht There's no denying his talent. I wouldn't call myself a reggae fan either, and yet, every time I hear him again, I can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy from it. I went to Hawaii many years ago and discovered they had an entire Bob Marley station! All Marley,...

Which is your favourite Bowie album & why?

newbloom @newbloom (13) 28 Dec 06

Which Bowie album is your favourite? And for what reasons?

empracht Old post, but I like the question. I think answering this question is almost as difficult as naming a favorite Beatles album. They're all so different and great. And sometimes one album works better than another based on what mood I'm in. But I do think The...

My Bizarre Dream Last Night

coffeegurl @coffeegurl (1467) • United States 7 Nov 08

Ok-I have been having the strangest nightmares as of late. All this week I will have one bad dream and one good dream per night. So, last night I think was a combination. I am not sure if it was an all out nightmare, but it was...

2 responses

empracht Wow. Bizarre dreams are the best. It's like suddenly you have this whole other connection with the person, completely unique to anyone else's. It's a cool feeling. Now I'm hoping Bowie will come out with some sort of 40s jazz album. Maybe your dream is...

empracht Posted a while ago, but I'll answer. Definitely "Big Mouth Strikes Again" which was originally a Smiths song. And the Smiths do a great job, but I must admit I like Placebo's version a little better.

empracht I finally saw it a few months ago. Why? Because I moved to Minnesota and felt obligated. And I have to say, I think it's my favorite 80s movie now. People had been urging me to see it for so long and I should have listened to them. It's very entertaining. And...

Favorite Rufus song?

cersei @cersei (62) • United States 28 Jan 07

I know it's a tough question to answer, but what's your favorite Rufus song? I kind of waffle between favorite songs myself, but right now I really like Memphis Skyline and Ups & Downs.

empracht Wow, this was posted a while ago, but I'm gonna respond anyway. I love the song "The One You Love". It goes through so many great transitions. Very powerful. It's like a good rock song with a touch of church hymn in it.

What got you started on Metric?

sakana @sakana (260) • Singapore 16 Jun 07

The first song I listened to was Grow Up And Blow Away. That got me hooked. Most of my friends get started with Combat Baby. What about you guys?

metric

5 responses

empracht It all started with a mix I got from a friend who, by the way, has excellent taste in music. It was the song "Too Little Too Late". Such a great track. Since then I've heard all their albums and all of Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton. Her voice is just...

empracht "Oh Yoko" is such a fun, cute song. It always seems to put me in a good mood. Many of his solo songs were so powerful and cause-worthy. But this one just takes a break from all that and makes you wanna jump rope with your loved one. Haha.

empracht I looove the song "Love Street". It's not one of their better known songs, but it's so sweet. If you've seen The Doors movie, it's on the soundtrack. And I do think he was an incredible poet. So sad that some of the most brilliant minds are also the most...

Who do you think is the greatest Raper of all time? 2pac or Eazy E?

4 responses

empracht I totally appreciate Eazy E's influence upon rap and love his unique style, but vocally, musically, and lyrically, Tupac blows Eazy E out of the water. The massive volume of absolutely genius tracks he produced in his short life (if he is really dead) leave me...

empracht Well Dave Grohl is from Nirvana so I could definitely see why Nirvana is influential to their sound. But I'd still pick Nirvana over Foo Fighters any day. Especially when listening to their more recent tracks. Their older stuff was better. But still nothing...

What is the best Bright Eyes Album?

zenmachado @zenmachado (1617) • United States 20 Jan 08

While I love the lyrics and ambition of "Four Winds", I think the best by Bright Eyes is "Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground". I think that album is a musical epic, that resonates deeply with its...

empracht Fevers and Mirrors has so much great energy, Lifted is filled with brilliance, Cassadega as sweet sounding, though there are some songs I skip because they annoy me. I can tell you my least favorite is Digital Ash, Digital Urn. I like a song or two on it but I...
