The Wagtunes Corner

[vurt]

I haven't listened to NIN much. To the extent I have it seemed like sexiness was an important component. I didn't hear any sexy in your first two NIN tracks. Otherwise pretty good.

i suppose if you find angsty whiny emo sexy, then yeah trent oozes sex appeal
maybe on a couple of tracks, but mostly he sounds desperate and a bit needy

which isn't a put down, i love nin, and thats part of the whole, the lost kid who is angry at everything.
dont do drugs kids!

I can't believe disco has pulled into the lead. Of course not counting all the people who wish I would stop making music altogether.

That was unexpected Should I have discovered this song in the wild I'd never attribute it to you.

But actually it's quite nice. I'm not very familiar with NIN, but it oddly reminds me of Oomph and similar, maybe even Die Krupps.

I can imitate pretty much anybody. Sadly, I don't think I've ever had a truly original thought a day in my life musically. I absorb other people's stuff and just put my own spin on it. But who I truly am as a writer? Honestly, I have no idea. I have listened to way too much music in the course of my 62 years on this rock.

This thread will give you a decent idea and even at that is not all encompasing.

It's a game I've been playing since April of last year. I pick a song, find it at Youtube, play it and then find another song that either has a word in common with the title or artist. Some words like "the" are excluded because they're just too common.

I've up to over 4,000 songs and haven't even scratched the surface.

So it's no wonder I have no idea who I am musically.

I don’t know who I am musically either.

I trained my voice to a combination of Michael Stipe, Trent Reznor, David Gahan, and Martin Gore. Don’t know what I sound like as myself.

I’ve been into a narrow scope of music for most of my life (opposite you, wagtunes). If you don’t know, then how will I ever, ha ha But I’m impressed that you can pick up a genre, or whatever, and play in it with such ease.

My earliest music was too “pleasant” and lowfi for my own tastes. My second era was fueled by breakup, psychological abuse, and psych drugs. My current era is the best work I’ve done but comes slowly and is mostly inspired by NIN.

My work ethic in general is lazy: If I’m not inspired by a sound or a song, I make nothing but more sounds... if I’m lucky.

Anyway... “Rip Out My Heart” reminds me of Stabbing Westward. This is especially in regard to your voice, though I’m not sure why, but it’s also the lyrics. Stabbing Westward tends to be rather direct or literal (as opposed to interpretive) in lyrical content, so I can see why I get that impression here.

This is still in the range of what my unlisted poll vote choice would have been, so I’m entirely cool with that.

I finally listened to that country mashup video; it’s quite amusing! Thanks for posting that. I shared it with my eclectic girlfriend...

I see you have a Soundcloud channel. I am definitely going to check it out. I'm curious as to what kind of stuff you do.

I wonder how many of us truly know who we are? So many of us spend so much time putting our best foot forward for people so that we can be accepted, I can't help but wonder if we do that musically as well.

Anyway, as this CD I'm working on progresses, I am sure I am going to start to incorporate several other styles while trying to keep to the basic theme, which is essentially "I'm pissed off at the world, here's my rage" kind of stuff. I don't think I can do this for more than 12 songs so this is going to be a relatively short CD.

Working on my next track, inspired by an earlier poster, "Is This Sexy Enough For You" which, lyrically, is really warped and twisted.

I absolutely cannot sing this in front of my wife.

That depends on how much money you have.
