The "ghost" word/idea/phrase must stop!

Posted by Jonny Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:31:00 GMT

BOO! Has anyone else noticed this? The usuage of "ghost" for band names, songs, and albums is *out of control* on the current scene. Fresh in, "Chris Martin says the new Coldplay album was influenced by ghosts". There's got to be some correlation to society for this fascination, right? anybody have insight?

Say What? Check it for yourself:

Dan Friel's EP, Ghost Town

Neutral Milk Hotel's, "Ghost"

Cut Copy's album Ghost Colours

The Black Angels' album Directions To See a Ghost

Cloud Cult single "The Ghost inside our House"

Ghostland Observatory

Stars' single "The Ghost of Genova Heights"

Band of Horses' single "Is There a Ghost"

Arthur and Yu's single "The Ghost of Old Bull Lee"

Spoon song "The Ghost Of You Lingers"

Seabear album The Ghost That Carried Us Away

Annie Lennox song "Ghosts in my Machine"

3 Interesting bits about music

Posted by Jonny Fri, 13 Jun 2008 20:14:00 GMT

Some cool factoids:

1) The pitches in musical scales are likely derived from language. Turns out, aspects of spoken English and Mandarin correlate to the intervals between notes in a chromatic scale (the black and white piano keys in an octave). Is it music we love or the sound of our own voices?

2) When musicians improvise, the lateral prefrontal areas of their brains — responsible for planning and self-censorship — basically turn off. Meanwhile, the medial prefrontal cortex — linked to self-expression and activities like telling a story about yourself — lights up.

3) Getting "Eye of the Tiger" stuck in your head is the result of a glitch in your auditory cortex. This part of your brain processes sounds and stores them for later recall. It powers up and can start crooning uncontrollably after hearing just a few notes of a familiar tune. Want it to stop? Listen to the whole song or do some math.

Burn Trail Of The Week: Danity Kane/Diddy

Posted by nuTsie Guy Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:36:00 GMT

Danity Kane, the all-female R&B group (and "stars" of MTV's Making The Band 4), are releasing their not-so-anticipated CD "Welcome To The Dollhouse" this week.

How fitting that a CD released by 5 of Diddy's personal puppets references the fact that they are, themselves, both fake and plastic.

How many times can Diddy do this, really? I realize the right answer is probably "until he stops making boatloads of money for doing it", but I am asking on behalf of people who still prefer to music they enjoy to be written by the actual artist.

Diddy's show is responsible for (besides Danity Kane) bubble-gum boy band "O-Town", dysfunctional rap group "Da Band" , "Day26" (or as I like to call them: New Edition, Jr.) and "Donnie J.", a dude so lame he makes Lance Bass look like Jean Claude Van Damme in "Lionheart".

So, Puff Daddy, go back to your matching sweatsuits with Mase, making lackluster albums under your own name, and being a sidekick for someone who is clearly more talented than you. Do whatever you want, just stop using pretty faces and the young MTV demographic to make yourself rich(er).

American Idol Power Ranking- Beatles Night

Posted by colson Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:39:00 GMT

This week the show decided to switch things up a bit and offer its audience an ear full of the Beatles. Liked the songs you heard this week? Check out the playlist from the show. Here's how i saw it...

Girls

1) Carly- Come Together

2) Brooke- Let It Be

3) Amanda- You Can't Do That

4) Ramiele- In My Life

5) Syesha- Got to Get You Into My Life

6) Kristi- 8 Days a Week

Guys

1) David C- Eleanor Rigby

2) Chikezie- She's a Woman

3) Jason- If I Fell

4) Michael- Across the Universe

5) David A- We Can Work it Out

6) David H- I Saw Her Standing There

Who's going home tonight? My opinion would be Kristi, due to her inconsistent performances. Last week I though David A was going to win, but after two weeks of so-so performances, Carly is my new number one.
