BigFootsSocks Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Doom Generation, ha! I tried to watch it but the "whatever" culture was too astronomical for me to finish it.I have had a recent obsession with new synth pop songs. I will post some links later, but here are the songs and titles."Fireshrine" - Purity Ring"The Mother we share" - CHVRCHES"Royals" - LordeThey're pretty awful but they are so much fun!I just saw this post and I'm so happy to see Purity Ring get someone on HAIF.

BigFootsSocks Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 http://youtu.be/f5myHpBD9RMHere's another synth pop for you guys!http://youtu.be/1FH-q0I1fJYThis one is quite awful. I accidentally discovered it under "suggested" for the CHVRCHES video. I love the music video, it's so weird, that its actually cool. I only love the song because of the video.And I tried showing it to some of my friends but all of their reactions were the same... "I can never get that 6 minutes of my life back". Lol they don't understand fashion & art, so I have forgiven them.Okay I gotta disagree with you here. GRIMES is the best upcoming musician out there right now. Saw her at Pitchfork a month ago and lost my voice. She was worth every penny I spent up in Chicago. I had I idea HAIF had some music buffs up here. You guys should check out Toro Y Moi, Cut Copy and Little Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm one of the few GRIMES fans who actually really liked Go but a lot of people bitched because "it didn't sound like grimes" but the thing is, it was originally made for Rihanna so of course it's going to sound different. But, I guess enough people complained because she just announced she scrapped the album and is starting over because "it sounded to radio-friendly" Also really like the beats in that; it's got a really good ambient vibe going on. Have you heard of Little Dragon? I recommend checking this out if you haven't... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Has anyone seen As Above So Below? I know it got some pretty low ratings. I have to admit some of the acting and scenes were cringe worthy. I guess it was more terrifying to me because I read a story online a few years back (that was probably made up), but some cave explorers/climbers went down a cave and had a weird paranormal experience. That stuck with me. However, it takes a lot to make a movie scare me. I was pretty terrified. Movies that give me anxiety and make me jump are very much a guilty pleasure. Why do I torture myself? It's not as scary as the first Paranormal Activity. I would say it is probably the third most terrifying after that and Jeepers Creepers. And on a more lighter note, I know this song isn't new, but it has been stuck in my head for a week. The music video isn't great.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e9NSMY8QiQ"Closer" - Tegan and Sara This one isn't anything special but it's one of those songs I hear and picture the night skyline heading south over the bayou on Studemont/Montrose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB6ac_hRBik"Jaguar" - What So Not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Does it make you angry when you hear a song and cannot download it immediately on iTunes? Usually I'm pretty resourceful in finding a way to purchase it (legally), but when I hear something like this and I can't have it makes me miss the old record stores that would carry CD's that you couldn't find anywhere else. BTW is Cactus Records really still open off of 59? Edit: it is. They don't have it. Anyways, this is the song. It's been my wingman this long and stressful work week.

No, because I never purchase music from iTunes. The only music in my iTunes library is from CDs that I own and have ripped. Do you use Spotify? Might want to check there to see if they have it. Amazon has used copies starting at $0.32, but the cheapest ones are from overseas, so forget about the instant gratification factor: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00005O13R/ref=tmm_acd_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&sr=&qid= Edited December 27, 2014 by mkultra25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkultra25 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I had already looked at Amazon. $0.39 sounds a little sketchy.Why anti-iTunes? Doubt there's anything sketchy about that seller just based on price - they're a huge UK-based outfit that's a high-volume seller on Amazon. They have some negative feedback but that's to be expected with the bigger sellers. You can't please everyone. I'm not anti-iTunes per se (I use it for other things), but I have an aversion to paying for music that's been subjected to lossy compression (i.e., mp3s). I prefer physical media but don't mind ripping my own mp3s from uncompressed files, or purchasing lossless downloads (typically FLACs). That said, Microsoft had a deal over the past few weeks where they were offering mp3s of entire albums for free via their Music Deals app, as well as mp3s of big, expensive multi-CD sets for $1.99. By way of comparison, one of the $1.99 sets I saw sells for $45 on iTunes. At that price, I couldn't resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I've noticed a topic we haven't really touched on is Documentaries. I know, I know, after watching a documentary you are suddenly the worlds leading expert on the subject... But I thought I'd share a few that have touched my heart.The first one "Connected: The Power of 6 degrees of Seperation".I use to watch the science channel quite often. I caught this film and had it saved on my DVR for years until I moved. It's such a great program because it takes you on a journey of thought. The first thought is the beginning of network science. How do schools of fish swim in complete unison, how do different breeds of crickets chirp at the exact moment to share information? Anyways it's a wild ride through the Internet, how every human is (on average), 6 handshakes from every other human on earth. Really just well thought out production. I have only found it on amazon, sold in Austrailia, titled "the Kevin Bacon theory". I could ramble on for a while about this one.Second; "The Rape of Europa". You can find it on Netflix or iTunes. Amazing film about European culture, art, history, landmarks, and how Nazi Germany seeked to collect most of these items, how the allies tried to persevere what they could during wartime, and how some very dedicated individuals saved masterpieces from compete annihilation. I feel like "Momentments Men" was hollywood's response to this interesting documentary.Has anyone seen these? Your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
