Hmm, I refused to listen to Songs of Innocence out of principle when it appeared on my phone...

Here is a beautiful, sad, soothing piano piece from Aphex Twin's new album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eln7mCEEZ4A

Polyphonic overtone singing - so cool! She sings two tones at the same time and sounds like a bird in a crystal palace...

She is freaking me out, Devo!

Laney · 06-10-14 06:16:05

Haha, it almost doesn't sound real. Have you ever heard people making high birdlike tones like that without the fundamental tone underneath? I don't think I have...

Here is a video showing seven different styles of overtone singing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zZainT9v6Q

Just saw a video that the BBC made of the Beach Boys classic, "God Only Knows" amazingly beautiful song with so many recognizable faces lending their voices to the effort, from pop to classical... Absolutely loved it and lifted up... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqLTe8h0-jo

That's pretty cool Don.

Viva's garden has apparently been listening to Beyonce. Hopefully Beyonce and Nicki...

Guys I am listening to this in the mornings

Woah that Flawless song is amazign but like... so freakin' modern. I don't know if I can handle the constantly interrupted flow! It's so jolting! so interesting...

Laney · 15-10-14 01:49:17

The remix is more jolting than the original song. I like the way they've used the footage of Beyonce in Girlz Tyme in the videoclip.

Here is an amazing performance by Beyonce and Nicki from the On the Run tour. I wish they would come to Australia! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOnLxCC_zFQ

aven frey · 15-10-14 03:55:52

the film clip for that Evisbeats song is beautifully shot, and colour graded.

I would listen to Beyonce a lot if all her music sounded more like that remix, but that possibly wouldn't be so great for her career.

I'm listening to the debut album of Lena Katrina(This is Who I Am) from T.A.T.U. It's really good and I got it on Repeat, I'm also a fan of T.A.T.U so it was interesting to hear what her sound is. I would say like T.A.T.U but with a different twist.

Laney · 01-12-14 03:50:04

I've been following the Serial podcast http://serialpodcast.org/. Has anyone else been listening to it?

aven frey · 01-12-14 03:58:15

Yes, so good!

doneduardo1 · 05-12-14 04:53:28

But at this very moment I'm listening to usual Pandora mix, which has heaps of The Smiths, Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, The Cure and other assorted depressing classics.

Charlotte_V, love both the Smiths and the Cure.... Just Like Heaven is one of my favorite songs. When I hear it in my car, can't help but singing along with passion, and in an animated way - just such a great release...

Laney · 15-12-14 06:56:43

I guess there probably aren't many Beyonce/Nicki Minaj fans on IFM, but I just had to tell you guys they just released a new song collaboration. It's called "Feeling Myself" and it's about masturbation. How appropriate!

Better version of the song here http://www.refinery29.com/2014/12/79300 … medium=rss

aven frey · 17-12-14 03:42:35

Nicki Minaj's new album will be calls 'The Pinkprint'. I don't get all her music (I really like that track though) but I fucking love her wit full bad assery.

A cool kid just posted this on FB

I love a good cover, there's something about hearing familiar words sung by a beautiful but different voice. Often I feel like I'm hearing the lyrics for the first time again and gives me a new appreciation for how good they are.

This cover especially did this for me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucRIVtLmqPE

Anyone else have a cover they wanna share?

viva · 19-12-14 00:01:52

Omg sorry I dont have a good cover but I do have this hilarious Serial parody
http://www.funnyordie.com/embed/6ab2d45a77
Today is the last episode! Me and Devochka are going to listen at the same time - Aven, you in?

viva · 19-12-14 00:26:13

WAIT! I DO HAVE A COVER!!! I've been listening to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2K_7-MHt3k

It's that Ed Sheeren chap and that Passenger man, and they are singing a mashup of No Diggity and that thrift shop song and its reallly niiiiiiiice!

Laney · 19-12-14 01:20:45

I love No Diggity and the cover really transforms it. I first heard that song on Girl Talk's Feed the Animals album. Girl Talk is an awesome DJ who mixes songs like A Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum and The Weight by The Band with rap music like Wu Tang and Run DMC.

I love his mix of No Diggity with Kanye's Flashing Lights in this song (starts at 0:34)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trmacqG9uKA

I really love that whole album , it's really good to play at parties. Or, at least I really like playing it at parties since I pretty much know the words to every song in it now. When I'm alone and rapping the songs it makes me feel like the girl in this image

One of my favourite of his mixes is this one with Paranoid Android by Radiohead with Jay-Z's Roc Boys:

Another cover that I noticed as a suggested video for that Ed Sheeran cover is Miley Cyrus' cover of Jolene. She has a great country voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwblaKmyVw.

viva · 19-12-14 01:31:02

I wonder if it was my link so you got my youtube recs, I listen to that cover all the time! Did you also have Cups from Pitch Perfect and 8 hours of rain on a canvas tent on your sidebar?

Laney · 19-12-14 01:41:20

I got mostly Ed Sheeran and Passenger videos, with Tiny Furniture and Diva by Beyonce thrown in as well.

aven frey · 19-12-14 02:56:12

I also got Miley and a bunch of Ed Sheeran vidoes, with NBA videos thrown in as well! Youtube knows us better than our girlfriends and boyfriends.
