Right now I'm listening to out of the blue by Electric Light Orchestra because I liked Time.
It's pretty good so far.

Who here gets anime soundtracks ever? The only ones I've ever took the time to 'get' were the Rozen Maiden and Rozen Maiden Traumend OSTs. I love the classical music as well as the fight music.
More gaijin anime fans need to be like >>8. I actually have a lot of the soundtracks from his list. Paprika's OST also got me into collecting Hirasawa Susumu's music. Awesome shit. Still, for me it's far more about image albums and vocal collections than instrumental soundtracks — unless, of course, there's something especially awesome about the instrumentals.
I reached my 200 CD mark the other day with just over half of them being Jpop, Jrock, or anime. Plus I have a bunch of mix CDs and MP3s on my laptop. eBay, Half-Priced Books, the Internet, and a local dedicated anime store are to blame.
I'm excited about getting some new CDs at the anime store this weekend since they'll be on sale for Free Comic Book Day.
Necrobump to add that these days I'm mostly after OP/ED singles rather than full soundtracks. The Bakuman. OP "Blue bird" has so much audible sparkle and boyband-like qualities I tend to burst out giggling whenever I hear it.
Non Non Biyori has a pretty good soundtrack.
Which one is your favorite ?

Post some lyrics you like, Anon.
I was fucked in perverse pain
Tortured, raped and finally slain
This pokemon was my lord
He did what I just have told
Molested by a pokemon
I can't live with psychic scar
I was ripped in a car
He was fucking very hard
And he took my credit card
Molested by a pokemon
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
I'm Wes Snipes with lead pipes
Lil' Bo Peep with a brand new bitch
In the back of the club with the GothBoiClique
TV news is no news
I lay down looking up
A scarab crawling on my roof
She said to me
"Take out the garbage, dear"
I looked at her, she's a mess
I screamed "Taking my drugs"
She smiled and said
"Your mother, dear, is burning
So, put out the fire, now
Put out the fire"
And my father stood behind the door
Looking like a spider
I never thought that I could be so satisfied
Every time that I look in your angel eyes
A shock inside me that words just can't describe
And there's no explaining
Something in the way you move I can't deny
Every word from your lips is a lullaby
A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver
I said I wasn't gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can't let you go
Temptation tempts my victim to proceed,
forward, ignorance would not allow retreat, you would rather pursue death than admit defeat
"I tried to see things from his point of view, but I couldn't fit my head up his arsehole too."
(Goldie Lookin' Chain - Soap Bar)
Rigid license severity Graceless is the place to be
To drain the cup of misery, To the dregs the only place to be
Nastiness and diseases, Will choose me any path it pleases
I dont sleep, I die, My bed is always closing in on me
I DISSOLVE ! , VOID !, VACUUM ! , GOOSEGASH !
I will stake all my pride against my suicide
And wear upon my shoulder, The mark of a good soldier
Malice having the itchy palm with a sparing hand
Making ducks and drakes of evil, With a lesser form of people
[at this bit of the song they do that cool thing where two instruments play a scale a certain distance apart so it sounds like it's constantly going up and up and up but they're taking turns going back to the bottom again or something]

I am quite big into dungeon synth and into the part which is more ambient-y and comfy. Shit like Utred, Chaucerian Myth, Fief Depressive Silence and Vinkaldr are my jams
What is your opinion the genre? Do you have any favourite artists?
I don't necessarily know the difference between dungeon synth and dark ambient but some of my favourites are Raison D'etre, Maeror tri, Lustmord and Asmorod.
You should listen to Call to the deep by Kurotokage (Asmorod) also

Thanks, the album is really good.
Honestly, I think dungeon synth is a sub-genre of dark ambient and the definitions both are wonky. It's more synth foccused, I would say, although that sounds like a joke...
Lustmord is genius in all genres anyway, so yeah, it is more about the aesthetic of dungeon synth (i.e. that drawings by the guy which Varg loved, gothic forests castles etc.) I will check the rest of the list later, thanks.

I think dungeon synth relies pretty much on emulating 1990s to 2000s fantasy rpg video game soundtracks more than anything else.
I guess I would say I prefer more drone oriented dark ambient music as opposed to most, especially more recently produced, dungeon synth, as a lot of it sounds like vst presets and sample packs being put together with minimal mixing (although I understand that that is part of it's charm).

I agree as most of modern productions really suck. I mostly blame it to thinking that it is easy to make and then they make stuff that is quite boring.
Or even more, they try to make new jokes (comfy synth, dino synth, etc), and that is pure goddamn depression and edgy shit imho.
>>5
Most modern dungeon synth productions suck because the producers tend to forget that the track needs to be consistent and coherent. The greatest thing about listening to older works is that the low fidelity mixing tends to fill in the gaps between the different tracks which resolves the issue of it sounding to thin and cheesy.
Comfy synth is basically just a new name for new-age/environmental ambient music for the most part so I don't have a problem with it.
Never listened to Dino synth, I'm guessing it's just regular dungeon synth but with a dinosaur on the cover art?

Do you guys like The Strokes? Should they have made another album after such a long hiatus? Will Julian ever remember the lyrics to his own songs?
I mean, I've only listened to a single one of their songs (Someday) so even though I liked it I can't call myself a fan in good conscience. Hope the new album is good, though.
>inb4 it's already out by the time I typed this and I just live under a rock
lol, it's amazing how much sad "professional music critics" hyped up teh Strokes back at the turn of the millennium. A very calculated Tarantino tier derivative of shit pretentious critics like from Television to the straight-up rip of Tom Petty on "last night" their big breakout hit.
They were drowned in the onslaught of rap and other crap eventually, another reason the Rolling Stone magazine crowd were rooting for this "last hope" for band based rock. Old critics wanted 1977 back.
Their Tron inspired video kind of anticipated that film's revival Tron Legacy years before anyone thought of it.
I'm fairly loose on what I define as Ska, rock or punk with trumpets will do.
Anyone into japanese ska? Some of it is pretty awesome, but the only bands I've been able to get a listen to are:
I recommend all three of them, there is another fairly popular one called the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra or something - I had a listen once, but they didn't do much for me.
determinations, the ska flames
oi-skall mates!
SHAKA LABBITS!
Oh!I love scatology too!
what about american or other western ska bands. I mean, I love ska in all forms, and the few J-ska I've listened to i've liked, but I'm curious to know what other ska you guys listen to. For me, it has to be Suburban Legends (you need to actually SEE them play to really do them justice though), Reel Big Fish, Big D and the Kids Table (even though they're not totally ska), the Untouchables, Less than Jake before they sold out and went all emo, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and the Aquabats when they were still ska (even though I also love their new stuff. they just completely kick ass).

I want to buy a guitar and amp, have set my eyes on:
Both of these sound good and have received excellent reviews, with that in mind and their fair price they seem like really good things to get as a first guitar and amplifier. After all I'm just going to try and learn how to play so I don't want to spend too much.
Do you guys have any place to recommend that sell one or both of these online AND that ship to Sweden?
this is a strange place to ask for guitar buying advice. that said, if you want mine as a terrible self-taught guitarist of around 10 years, spend a little more on the guitar. spend a lot more if you are financially able. if i could give advice to myself back when i first bought a guitar, i wouldve forced myself to spend at least 1000 USD. at worst i would not go below 500. if you happen to be rich, i would not go very far over 3000, as you start to see serious diminishing returns.
you can always flip a good guitar, but it is impossible to resell a crappy squier. it never makes sense to buy a cheap guitar for two reasons:
i have bought and sold many guitars in my time, but guess what, i still have my very first guitar. a cheap ibanez strat copy, because it cost next to nothing and would sell for less than nothing. now it takes up space in a closet.
also, the quality control on entry level cheap guitars like squier is abysmal. theres a good chance the frets will be poorly cut, amongst other things, making it not only more difficult to play, but likely to tear up your left index finger as you move along the neck.
I was recommended MusiciansFriend.com by someone. I dunno if they ship to Sweden though.
Local shops, bought mine used and got a good deal considering it was half retail. Then again, I'm in nyc.

I don't know if the 20th Anniversary editions of the Squier Strat were special or how they were different from regular ones, but I've had it nearly 18 years and I still play it every day, it's a nice guitar to play
