Members blue2blue Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 This mini-doc below represents the biggest dose of contemporary rock I've had in a while... This is a side project for one of my 3DW pals. His own band, Repeater, has a small but loyal following, but his bandmates in Fear and the Nervous System are pretty well known...

Members ShadowsofBirds Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 I've actually been listening to the Taxi Driver sndtrk for a while now. Great stuff! The novella was about a boy who couldn't die, the other children who treated him with considerably less restraint because of that, the effects of growing up in those circumstances and all of the ethical issues that all suggests. With the benefit of hindsight it has it's good points and its bad points. I've always been decent with ideas but 1) the execution can be lacking sometimes, and 2) I tried some things intentionally that didn't work and some things didn't work simply because it was my first major work of prose and I wasn't the greatest writer. -- Conor Oberst suffered from youth for a long time.. I discovered him when Cassadega came out so I thankfully missed a lot of the whinier stuff - but for a guy that's been putting out records since he was sixteen he really does have a way with words. "If I loved you, well that's my fault." (who hasn't felt like that, eh?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 Understood not everyone is as bowled over by the understated Laura Marling as I am, but this (quite understated) vid is, to me, the epitome of how to do a live in the studio chamber folk vid. I'm particularly charmed by the cellist who simultaneously doubles as a back up vocalist.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQWNq3SY-2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mark Blackburn Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 Talent is good . . . but getting your record banned is even better. That's master song writer Billy Joel's tag line at the end of a televised "Masterclass" segment, in which he explains that his mega hit, ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG, had to be "banned by a Catholic radio station" before anyone paid attention to it. This segment opens with Billy's anecdote about about the 'real reason' he no longer performs his biggest hit (I love you) JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, written, he says, "for my first 'ex'" -- and how his drummer used to parody the song's punch line, singing, "She got the house; she got the car." [Well worth the 6:30 it takes to watch this, I promise (or double your money back).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
