Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
A bit of a stretch but....Since there is some interest in German...quartz... here is song that is VERY popular right now and someone posted the lyrics in German on YouTube! It was released in Feb and the video in April and if you search for it on YouTube you will find several of versions with million plus hits!!
It is "Impossible" by Shontelle
Here is the music video for it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPAZ0eHuGjg (copied version)
Lyrics in German (hey Robin... make corrections if need be)
Ich erinnere mich Jahre zuvor
Sagte mir jemand ich sollte
Vorsicht nehmen, wenn es um Liebe geht
Ich tat, ich tat
Und du warst stark, ich war es nicht
Meine Einbildung, mein Fehler
Ich war achtlos, ich vergaß
Ich tat
Und jetzt, wenn alles getan ist
Gibt es nichts zu sagen
Du bist gegangen, so mühelos
Du hast gewonnen
Du kannst voraus gehen, ihnen sagen
Sag ihnen alles was ich jetzt weiß
Ruf es vom Dach
Schreib es auf den Himmel
Alles, was wir hatten ist nun vorbei
Sag ihnen, ich war glücklich
Und mein Herz ist gebrochen
All meine Narben sind offen
Sag ihnen, was ich hoffte ist
Unmöglich (4x)
Aus Liebe heraus zu kommen ist schwer
Für Verrat zu fallen ist am schlimmsten
Gebrochene Treue, gebrochene Herzen
Ich weiß, ich weiß
Daran glauben, alles was du brauchst, ist hier
Vertrauen auf Liebe zu bauen ist am schlimmsten
Leere Versprechen werden vergraben
Ich weiß, ich weiß
Und jetzt, wenn alles vorbei ist
Gibt es nichts zu sagen
Und wenn du fertig bist, mich zu blamieren
Kannst du auf eigene Faust
Voraus gehen und ihnen sagen
Sag ihnen alles was ich jetzt weiß
Ruf es vom Dach
Schreib es auf den Himmel
Alles, was wir hatten ist nun vorbei
Sag ihnen, ich war glücklich
Und mein Herz ist gebrochen
All meine Narben sind offen
Sag ihnen, was ich hoffte ist
Unmöglich (8x)
Ooh Unmöglich
Yeah Yeah
Ich erinner mich Jahre zuvor
Sagte mir jemand ich sollte
Vorsicht nehmen, wenn es um Liebe geht
Ich tat
Sag ihnen alles was ich jetzt weiß
Ruf es vom Dach
Schreib es auf den Himmel
Alles, was wir hatten ist nun vorbei
Sag ihnen, ich war glücklich (Ich war glücklich)
Und mein Herz ist gebrochen
All meine Narben sind offen
Sag ihnen, was ich hoffte ist
Unmöglich (8x)
Ich erinner mich Jahre zuvor
Sagte mir jemand ich sollte
Vorsicht nehmen, wenn es um Liebe geht
Ich tat

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Basil.... so glad I made your day! You'll have to swing over to the TV thread or start a new one and tell me about the teletubbies and other odd shows and if they are in Russia or what you all make of them over there.I am soooo glad my girls have grown out of them!
=============================================
Almost a month ago I wrote about the song Airplanes by B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams, well, it is now in the #2 spot on Billboard top 100 and he has the #5 spot for his song Nothin' on You! http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100#/charts/hot-100. Airplanes was only released on US CD & urban radio on April 27th and there still is not a music video for it yet! It moved up the charts FAST!
One song my younger daughter found a while ago and I forgot to post about and now it is VERY popular here is "Bullet Proof" by La Roux and yet this song was released in June 2009. It has taken almost a year for it to become a hit!!! It really is interesting how some songs take a short time and others take so long or not at all...

There is actually a funny story about me and these little uglies, it's a bit embarassing but I'll tell it anyway. :) It happened about ten years ago. I was a 22 y.o. student then and used to live with my parents and my little sister (she was about 20 back then). This dumb show (teletubbies) was rather popular in Russia at that time and one could watch it every weekend on main TV channels. My parents went out to our dacha (summer cottage) for the week-end and I thought that my sister went with them. I was partying with my friends till late at night in some night club and when I came home I imediately fell asleep. When I woke up I had a little hangover, so I switched on my computer and desided to cure my hangover with a little flash game: Teletubbies mercy killing.
After playing it about a half of an hour my mood had greatly improved, I felt like: "Yeah, the life is good!" and went to the shower. I have a stupid habit to sing in a shower sometimes and that dumb teletubbies song happened to be rather catchy so I had started to sing it. After taking a shower I went out to the hall (naked) wiping my hair with a towel and singing this dumb song (remember, I thought that I was in the flat alone!). But my sister didn't go with my parents that day and stayed at home. She also invited one of her friends to stay for the night. They were sleeping in her room (of course I had no idea about that). So my sister's friend had heard my singing. We knew each other a little so she desided to came out and make fun of me. So imagine how her fun became greater and my embarassment when she came out to the hall and saw me singing the song naked! :oops: Of course she told my sister and their friends about this case and I really felt embarassing. Only If the song weren't so stupid! :wall: And even now some of my friends who have heard about this story are making fun of me telling it again and again. :cry:

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Teletubbies, teletubbies...... Lalah, Poh....
Say "hello...... "
nice song huh... ? :mosking:
That was a funny story....
A few years ago there was a really funny story about how lots of Americans thought that the Purple teletubby was GAY because he is male but always carries a handbag.... They didn't want their kids watching gay puppets... It's an English series, so English press got annoyed, There were some really entertaining headlines about it.
I think the Americans may be right though.. .Judge for yourself!
I doubt intended audience would care much though!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQdC7h609k8
For the first several seconds of the clip I was knocked off by her looks, totally horrified by the ugliness of her face, her outlandish coiffure – by everything about her. Further along, when she began to sing it started coming to me that she had a nice voice, beautiful, very beautiful British accent, that every word of the lyrics, perfectly rhymed and pretty much understandable, fell exactly into its place in the rhythmic structure of the song. All in all, she set off growing on me. At the end of the song I almost thought she was beautiful ,and now, after listening to some other of her songs and several interviews, I can say I like her, like her very much.
Strangely enough I haven’t ever heard her played on any of our numerous FM radios, so for me it was definitely a short time. :good:

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Don't have a lot of time so I will have to come back to this... A new show started this week on FOX... The Good Guys and they used tons of old songs in it and OMG my older daughter actually liked one of them and it was of all things an AC/DC song!!! When I have time I'll have to watch the entire episode and make a list of all the old songs they used and post them as they brought back lots of memories along with the car the main character "Dan Stark as being actually a fantastic 1981 cop. He just hasn't moved along with the time. CSI stuff is like black magic." drives a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am!
So for your listening enjoyment and my pride as a mom....
Thunderstruck!

Okay, so I was talking about the new TV show "The Good Guys" and the songs they are using... Last night it was on again and I missed most of it AGAIN but it made me remember that I needed to come back and post the songs. So, sure enough someone has already started a Web site that has a list of the songs (makes this too easy!) so here they are:
The theme song is based on the full version of "The Whip" - Locksley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUQAz7w6svU
1.1 Pilot

"20th Century Boy" - T-Rex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xcpoOOfc24
"The Stroke" - Billy Squier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy8N0PGvq8A
"Thunderstruck" - AC/DC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvoeeq-BH4w
1.2: Bait and Switch (it seems odd that there are only two songs.. maybe the person could only figure out these two?)
"Crazy on You" - Heart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZuW6BH_Vak
"Rock You Like a Hurricane" - The Scorpions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw_Lf-JhdSU
1.3: Broken Door Theory

"Lady Venom" - Swollen Members http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPIVTRD_iKU
They don't have the songs up for the rest of the episodes but last night I did hear this one:
"Jukebox Hero" - Foreigner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5_qhnWByA4

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Didn’t the Scorpions’ lead singer’s accent jar native speakers’ ears? Just because of that I personally didn’t like the band very much, although there have been nice melodies created by the group throughout its career.

====================
So the next Twilight film, Eclipse, is due out soon and the album has been released and while these movies are "chick flicks" the films have been great for bands and indie musicians! Muse has had a great increase in their popularity due to the films and they have another great song on the new soundtrack and a fantastic video to go with it:
Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTvgnYGu9bg
Also, late last year I posted about the singer Sia. She too has a song on the soundtrack:
My Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMlRGYFjwoM
Another nice one is from the UK band The Bravery called "Ours" but I can't find a link to it, so if anyone can... please post one!

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
So, what does it take to make you a famous songwriter/singer over night? Try having your song on a hit tv show!
That is what has happened to Christina Perri and her song, Jar of Hearts. Just three weeks ago, Christina was an unsigned artist waiting tables in Beverly Hills, Ca. Her song was used on the show "So You Think You Can Dance" and iTunes picked it up and it is now ranked 23rd on Billboard's Digital Music Charts!
Due to the amazing popularity of the song, So You Think You Can Dance asked her to come on the show this past week and perform the song live.
Here is that performance:

More "cutting edge" news....
I've posted before about Curt Smith from Tears for Fears... well tonight (July 21st) he is hosting a brand new live streaming series called "Stripped Down Live." http://strippeddownlive.com/ to watch the show, you go here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/stripped-down-live
Quote:
Each episode of Stripped Down will focus on one band bringing in “stripped down” versions of five to seven of their songs, with Smith using his musical knowledge to engage the bands in discussion. “He’s a musician, he can talk music and has that insight,” Rotman said. “And we’re bringing in bands that he likes and that he knows.” There will also be a section where the band can be asked questions by the online audience.
It sounds as if it will be a musicians musicians sort of show and really a great show to watch/listen to if you want to learn about different maybe less heard of artists!
Here is the YouTube announcement about the show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU6PQpfzxQw
The first artist will be Hypnogaja
Remake of Donna Summer's "On the Radio"

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
I must say at the start ... I have never been a big Eminem fan. His newest number one song, Love The Way You Lie, featuring Rihanna has grown on me very quickly though and the only reason I listen to it was because of all the brouhaha about Rihanna singing on it.
Now Eminem is no stranger to controversial lyrics and Rihanna made headlines a while ago due to her personal life and being her abusive relationship. SO, to team them up for a song that speaks all about an abusive relationship... well... you get people talking. People are saying to boycott the song because of Rihanna and how she should be speaking out against domestic violence. BUT... what is the difference between this song and say... Lady Gaga's Bad Romance? They are both about toxic relationships. The difference is that Love the Way You Lie is in your face here is what it feels like and is emotionally performed, while other songs about "bad romance" are catchy little nothings soon to be forgotten.
The music video for Love the Way You Lie is to be released this week. It will be interesting to see how the song is "visually" portrayed.
Here is a live version of the song until the music video is out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eac7tmXVg

Mixing two threads here for a minute...
Okay, so for those of you who helped out with my request to vote know that part of the prize was the premiere in New York and the AfterParty. Well the party was on a rooftop and it was a picture perfect night! They had a female DJ and as part of her act she brings in a female electric violinist. I recorded as much as I could with my cell phone and I also found a 2 minute clip of another performance that they did in June in NY at Ellis Island so you can see the New York skyline behind them as it is twilight.

If you want to watch the clip I made, here is a link (it's almost 7 minutes)

I forgot to post the video for this song! It is a mini movie that tells the story of the song very well. The video stars actress Megan Fox and actor Dominic Monaghan.
And here are the lyrics:
Love the Way You Lie
[Chorus - Rihanna]
just gonna stand there and watch me burn
that’s alright because i like the way it hurts
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
that’s alright because i love the way you lie
i love the way you lie
[Eminem - Verse 1]
i can’t tell you what it really is
i can only tell you what it feels like
and right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe
i can’t breathe but i still fight while i can fight
as long as the wrong feels right it’s like i’m in flight
high off of love drunk from my hate
it’s like i’m huffin’ paint and i love it the more i suffer, i suffocate
and right before i’m about to drown, she resuscitates me, she fuckin’ hates me
and i love it, wait, where you goin’?
i’m leavin’ you, no you ain’t come back
we’re runnin’ right back, here we go again
so insane, cause when it’s goin’ good its goin’ great
i’m superman with the wind in his back, she’s Lois Lane
but when its bad its awful, i feel so ashamed i snap
whose that dude? i don’t even know his name
i laid hands on her
i never stoop so low again
i guess i don’t know my own strength
[chorus]
[Eminem - Verse 2]
you ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
when you with em you meet and neither one of you even know what hit em
got that warm fuzzy feeling
yeah them chills used to get em
now you’re getting fuckin’ sick of lookin’ at em
you swore you’d never hit em, never do nothin’ to hurt em
now you’re in each other’s face spewin’ venom in your words when you spit em
you push pull each other’s hair
scratch claw hit em throw em down pin em
so lost in the moments when you’re in em
it’s the face that’s the culprit, controls ya both,
so they say it’s best to go your seperate ways
guess that they don’t know ya
cause today that was yesterday
yesterday is over, it’s a different day
sound like broken records playin’ over
but you promised her next time you’ll show restraint
you don’t get another chance
life is no nintendo game, but you lied again,
now you get to watch her leave out the window
guess that’s why they call it window pane
[Chorus]
[Eminem - Verse 3]
now i know we said things, did things, that we didn’t mean
and we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
but your temper’s just as bad as mine is, you’re the same as me
when it comes to love you’re just as blinded
baby please come back, it wasn’t you, baby it was me
maybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seems
maybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
all i know is i love you too much to walk away though
come inside, pick up the bags off the sidewalk
don’t you hear sincerity in my voice when i talk?
told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
next time i’m pissed ill aim my fist at the drywall
next time there won’t be no next time
i apologize even though i know its lies
i’m tired of the games i just want her back
i know i’m a liar if she ever tries to fuckin’ leave again
i’ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
[chorus]

Rihanna is easily one of my favourite mainstream modern pop/RnB artists. Eminem isn't my favourite rapper of all time, but I do think he's pretty good. (Although the tendancy of some rappers to make bad puns annoys me... "now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that’s why they call it window pane"... COME ON!)

Nooooooooooooooooooo... that is one of my FAVORITE lines in the song!! My daughter also likes "you don’t get another chance, life is no nintendo game"
I posted the song "Airplanes" earlier by B.O.B and there is another line like that..." But I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood." I thought that was a good one too, why DO we call it the hood?

So the latest song that I have been in love with is "Secrets" by OneRepublic. It is interesting that this song came out first in Germany and Australia but not in other countries, so Bitpicker, you may have heard this one on the radio long before we did. For us in the States, this song came to our attention with LOST and the movie "The Apprentice" and it was finally released in June as a single. It is in my head as I write which is sometimes very annoying as I can't focus but it goes along with the current part of the storyline that I am writing!
Song: Secrets
Artist: OneRepublic
Album: Waking Up
Composer: Ryan Tedder
Year: 2009/2010
Lyrics:
I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw wink, no
I've been on the brink, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My god, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight, too cold
I don't really like my flow, no, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Oh, got no reason, got not shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
