New Album Review?

empracht @empracht (45) • United States 20 Apr 09

I gotta say, after 10 years of anxiously awaiting their next album, I felt pretty let down after hearing it. It lacked in originality and it felt weak to me. What do you think?

Favorite new song?

empracht @empracht (45) • United States 20 Apr 09

Their new album is fantastic. It's full of energy and not so similar to the previous album that it seems redundant. Do you have a favorite song off the new album?

Favorite song off of In Rainbows?

empracht @empracht (45) • United States 19 Apr 09

My favorite is "Reckoner" which is featured in the film Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. The song apparently also goes by the title "Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses." Such a beautiful sad ballad. The true beauty of Thom Yorke's voice...

David Bowie, most attractive older musician?

empracht @empracht (45) • United States 19 Apr 09

Many musicians don't age well. Can you think of a musician that, even though they're past their prime, is still quite attractive? David Bowie's on the top of my list. I'm mostly thinking about male musicians but you could name...

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.

What is it about his music?

empracht @empracht (45) • United States 7 Nov 08

I was responding to another discussion and it made me wonder- really- what is it about his music that people just feel so elated by it? It's like a drug that has the same effect on everyone that listens to it. There's got to be a...

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?

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...

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

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...

Massive Attack is Good

empracht @empracht (45) • United States 7 Nov 08

I forget how good they are until I start listening to them again. I'm listening to the song "Man Next Door" off of Mezzanine right now and I think it's got to be one of my favorite songs of theirs. As is "Angel". "Teardrop" would...

Tell Me You Love Me Got Cancelled

empracht @empracht (45) • United States 7 Nov 08

Did anyone else happen to catch the one and only season of HBO's Tell Me You Love Me? I've heard very differing opinions on it, but I was a big fan of the show. I loved the raw peak into other people's relationships and love...

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...
