Sometimes I take some time to scour the interwebz\/youtube\/whatever for some new music to listen to. A lot of the time when I find something I’ve shared it on Facebook or just on IRC. I figured it might be more fun for me to do it this way. Get a bit more of writing and my thoughts going on with all of it. Maybe a good way for me to get to think a bit more on what makes something good in my opinion.<\/p>\n
I’m not going to review anything, no full albums or anything like that. Likely you’ll just get one song from a band and a few words from me about it. Mostly I think I’m going to stick to pointing at things on youtube, on official band channels and such.<\/p>\n
Music is very much a matter of personal taste. Some like rap, some like metal, some like pop-music and so on. There’s no right answer on what is the best genre. My tastes tend to lean towards metal music, especially melodic death metal and things in that vein. Occasionally I’ll find something nice in an entirely different genre. Could be trance, could be rap, could be j-pop, could be anything. I don’t particularly care what genre it is as long as I like the sound of it.<\/p>\n
I like melodic things. I like when harsh, growling vocals are mixed with clean ones. I like female fronted metal bands quite a bit. I like it when metal gets mixed with other genres like trance. A piano is always nice. Violins and other traditional instrument can be nice. I don’t particularly care what the lyrics are for a song. I tend to view the singer as one more instrument in the band where the lyrics are the singers guitar tabs. Because I don’t care about lyrics that much I don’t care what language the singer uses.<\/p>\n
Maybe you’ll like what I like, maybe not. But I hope you give things a go. So let’s get to it.<\/p>\n
