Pick of the week. 11.05.08 edition

Not a new song, but certainly a good one for the week.

edit:  I’ve decided that I can’t just leave it at one.

I’ll go back to totally new things next week.

Pick of the week- 10.28.08 edition

In an effort to expand my musical appreciation, I’m going to try to find something new everyweek to feature and listen to.  I’ve been listening to Pandora a lot at work since its one of the few sites that isn’t blocked and I rediscovered Pelican and Isis in my collection last week.  After plugging them in and adding a couple bands like Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky, Maserati came up.  Which brings us to my first pick.  Initially I wanted to pick “I Have a Dagger, It’s Shaped Like a Lightning Bolt” off their first album, 37:29:24, but its out of print and wasn’t on youTube or Last.fm, so you’ll have to live with Inventions off their latest record:

Maserati
Inventions
from: Inventions for the New Season
2007 Temporary Residence
You can listen to the Pandora Station that I pulled this pick from here.

The soundtrack to my Life.

Would probably end up being old MIDI files from the Legend of Zelda.  Seriously.  One of my co-workers posted this today, and so I thought it would be fun to do while I ate my Life.  (the cereal, no joke–hence the capital “L”)  This ended up being my list:

 

Opening credits:
“An orgy of critics” – Say anything

Waking up:
“Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (reprise)” – The Beatles

First day at school:
“Andrei” – Squarepusher

Falling in love:
“The Reaping” – Coheed and Cambria

Breaking up:
“Through her eyes” – Dream Theater

Prom:
“Something in the way” – Nirvana

Life’s okay:
“Spitting Venom” – Modest Mouse

Mental breakdown:
“The Dance of Eternity” – Dream Theater

Driving:
“The Great Destroyer” – Nine Inch Nails

Flashback:
“Adagio”- “Various Artists”… looks like I mislabeled a CD.

Getting back together:
“Sin” – Nine Inch Nails

Wedding:
“Summer’s End” – Foo Fighters

Final battle:
“Dethharmonic” – Dethklok (perfect.)

Death scene:
“Ten Speed (of God’s Blood and Burial)” – Coheed and Cambria

Funeral song:
“J’aime pas l’Art” – datA

End credits:
“Testify” – Stevie Ray Vaughan

 

Some funny stuff.  My funeral is apparently going to be an Indie rave.  I was sad that the following song didn’t come up, though because its probably the most awesome thing ever.

In other, unrelated news, some of my college friends were featured on G4. (greg and will don’t have websites, so I can’t link to them… they were supposed to be “of” and  ”my”)  From what I can tell, Will put it up on instructables and AOTS grabbed it. I was sad that I was too hung-over to actually go to that Halloween party where they won.
