Music Videos, [Reviews]

August 23rd, 2008

M
i’m listing and reviewing all the most interesting music videos i’ve seen. please join in. keep reviews short.

1. Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

This is the funniest music videos i’ve ever seen and i think some members will agree. The song is originally by Michael Jackson, but this version is cooler, funnier and just sounds better. It’s not a spoof of MJ’s video but its just crazy shit - you would actually laugh out aloud.

G
Should I host it somewhere or you guys can download.

M
host only this one cause its hard to find (i think). the copy we have is not of very good quality. is yours any better?

G
Not too good. But I’ll look for a better one.

S
Rammstein - Amerika is pretty cool. i guess that goes the same for every rammstein video.

lets not forget Eminem’s Just Lose It and Without Me.

M
i wanted a review, along with a number. why don’t you follow my format?

suren, review please. otherwise yours don’t count.

S
will do M

how’s this?

2. Rammstein - Amerika

This video is yet another satire on America. This time it features the the Moon Landing conspiracy. The song’s got a catchy beat, no special effects like their old videos but still worth watching.

M
good enough. made some minor edits.

K
3. Bulla Ki Jaana…

Its a punjabi song by Sufi singer Rabbi, and before you cringe in pain - wtach the video. The song is strangely catchy too (it NOT pop, its ’sufi rock’) but the video is very interesting. Excellent imagery, unique visuals, good camera angles and they show the english translation of the lyrics in it too!

M
i actually did cringe in pain when i read the title.

4. Duran Duran - Rio

Beautiful imagery and a really good song. Very unique and pleasant. Saw it on VH1. See if anyone can get it.

[Not for Heavy Metal/Rock fanatics.]

A
most of the music videos i download are anime style, since only good songs are selected by these guyz when they make the videos thmesleves, most of them are really good….

Linkin Park…

August 22nd, 2008

A
Where the hell r they, how come no new songs have come out? Does nyone know…?

M
well you made me go to www.linkinpark.com

good site design et al.

i also have making of Meteora. it describes the art work involved. the guy in the gas mask you see on the cover of the album is actually a graffiti artist nicknamed Delta who worked with LP on the artwork for the album. you can see him in the video crouching over some canvas spray painting.

V
Linkin park isnt that great. Not the type that will want you to listen to the songs frequently.

M
i beg to disagree. one of the few bands whose songs i can listen to repeatedly. all their songs are interesting.

A
true LP rulz so does metallica, enigma and U2 to list a few…. but still u guyz didn’t answer my question, what happened to them, and what is the new Jayz vs LP thing?

M
that was awesome. Jay Z and LP teamed up to make some amazing remixes and they all sound great, especially ‘numb encore’! try it. it’s excellent. in fact, listen to all of them!

S
their problem is that just about all or rather all of their songs are about their girlfriends ditching them but their music is great.

BTW jay z and lp rule. check out jigga what/faint.

M
don’t like it.

all of their songs are not about their girl friends dumping them. some of them are about how they’re lonely and stuff.

S

all of their songs are not about their girl friends dumping them. some of them are about how they’re lonely and stuff

…because their girlfriends dumped them.

A
good one S….

The Subliminal Verses

August 21st, 2008

K
No, no…this does NOT belong in the Philosophy section, its the name of SlipKnot’s new album.

For the uninitiated, this should give you a vague idea of what SlipKnot are all about.

Forget their previous 2 albums, the loud but unique self-titled debut and its noisy sequel ‘Iowa’. Forget them. This is a new Slipknot, and they rock!

C’mon, how many of you believe that there are ACOUSTIC tracks on the CD, eh? that’s right….and ACOUSTIC track, on a SLIPKNOT cd. Want more surprises? Corey Taylor actually sings….that’s right, he sings! he raps too…and he’s pretty good.

Get the song ‘Duality’ from Kazaa, or get the whole shit from BitTorrent. Trust me, its awesome.

K Recommends:
Duality
Vermilion, Pt.2
Circle
Pulse of the Maggots
Before I Forget
The Nameless

I know its a little hard to believe, that 6 songs of a single slipknot album are recommended….but try it out. Duality rulez. Nuff said.

K out.

M
well i really like Eyeless but i’ll try out the new album and tell ya my opinion.

A
The only one i’ve heard which is good is the “I wait and bleed” one… pretty good…

M
now i like the entire album.

warning: gives you a headache if you listen to the entire album at one go. very heavy.

Black Music videos what’s up with that?

August 20th, 2008

A
Man i swear, all music videos of black singers have on thing in common. They all have women and they all are ’skimply’ dressed, if one were to refer to them as clothes. Although really wierd, only one non black person also joins this list. Enrique.

Anyways, In all of them, the singers are in the centre singing about their love with some babe (love to be interepretted in all its forms) or the other who is also included in the video (coincidently). Enrique although doesn’t even smile yaaar, in all his videos he’s got his puppy dog eyes and his sad expression and he and the rest of them go on and on and on and on….

This is my theory about this phenomenon:

Me thinks there is something more “fiendish” at “play”. You’ll get the pun soon,
methinks that they do not get any dates because of well obvious reasons and they use these videos as an oppertunity to “play” as they say. Which would explain their videos. your comments are welcome. It’s not like i have anything against them, but does anything else happen in any of their videos?

Sw
Ananth, what you say about black music videos holds good now for all the new ones coming up..
One can almost look at it as a ’sales-gimmick” on it’s own..look at britney(if you can call those music videos) or any other girl’pop album…

M
we’ve been hearing boybands and girlbands, and then somemore boybands and some more girlbands and rubbish - so why not give black music a chance?

and what do you say to eminem, his videos and lyrics rule!

C
Its not like as if other music videos don’t have women in them.Anyway I don’t think they sell their videos, its their music that they sell and they do make pretty good music.(atleast better than other boy/girl bands—I’d prefer D12 to N’Sync anytime)

X
ananth its their culture. its just like tamil songs have a few bunch of idiots dancing around and singing.

V
artists looks are more important than music talent nowadays

you send a half naked beautiful girl on the stage and make her scream shout stupid un imaginative lyrics and she will earn millions.

thats why i listen to 80’s music only…they have better lyrics and a story to each song.

M
you meant Beyonce i think. i HATE her. 80s music, hm ho hum - not much experience there.

speaking of that, GTA 3’s chatterbox channel rules!

T.A.T.U-heard them on Itv., Anyone heard of ‘em? or like Itv?

August 14th, 2008

A
Tatu-The name of the band-heard of them? I heard them on Itv the best music channel there might i add.

M
Tatu? that must be the worst name ever.

maybe they didn’t know the spelling of Tattoo…

A
I agree the band name is really very sad but the song isn’t.

Anyways,
methinks the band’s japanese ’cause i saw japenese people in the video probably, tatu means…. who knows?? Although I really would like to know what tatu means! It’s a wierd name and i for one love wierd names.

M
Tatu in Japanese means ‘we suck bigtime so don’t listen to our songs’. i know this because i studied Advanced Japanese at St. John’s for 3 years.

K

Tatu in Japanese means ‘we suck bigtime so don’t listen to our songs’. i know this because i studied Advanced Japanese at St. John’s for 3 years.

;)

N
Rakesh csll me up a month ago and asked abt TATU

it must suck them

M
remember the time when Rakesh ‘wrote’ a song. it went something like this:

Hey girl wanna see my damn face?
My funky funky face
My funky funky face

(…and so on. i don’t remember any more.)

don’t ask. i don’t know what its supposed to mean either.

some of his lyrics were ripped off from Five - If Ya Gettin’ Down too.

L
I think T.A.T.U is actually a British band. Their video was not aired on BBC due to vulgarity. The actual video had two schoolgirls running in the rain kissing each other. Cool huh?

K
Tatu is a russian band, formed by a russian equivalent of the Coke V-Popstars selection.

As for the Kissing part, Leon is right….

M

The actual video had two schoolgirls running in the rain kissing each other. Cool huh?

Cool is NOT the word i’d use.

anyways, what was the song about? what language? perhaps someone should download it………..not!

A
Too late I already downloaded it.

English-”All the things she said” although the whole song is just about that line “All the thingts she said” it’s good. You can get it on itv or wait for someone to put it. It’s not the lyrics as it is the tune i guess, ’cause i have no clue of what she says in the song anyway.

M
you HAD to go and download that song, didn’t you? maybe you’re sad you didn’t get the music video?

even if it were good i wouldn’t download it ’cause the band’s name sucks. that’s my reason and if you disagree then you’re wrong.

A
welll, as a matter of fact….

X
t.a.t.u is a lesbian group.the selectors wanted it that way .the two girls strip during live concerts and hug and kiss each other & they are only 15 & 16 yrs old.

G
Wierd. Thats like retarded. And to hell with stupid japanese bands singing hybrid languages.

PSP
And BTW, where has tha I tv vanished?

C
Good question, was wondering the same thing, i guess even they couldn’t stand the blue screen of death.(which happened half the time since windows kept crashing and they actually broadcast the whole process of booting and someone meddling with the mouse.)

M
hey, that’s more interesting than most channels i know.

actually, if they just keep on using the computer, running ms word and stuff it would be more interesting than tamil megaserials (atleast for me).

Giving into to a cheap web hosting deal is like getting into web development with a certitude of loss. Go with dedicated servers only. Select a trustworthy entity like ipowerweb and work diligently on the web design as well.

August 9th, 2008

KNIGHT

You wouldnt probably know to speak Hindhi.(heheheh allthe more better)
Then you go into the Bathroom for the usual.
The Terrorist would think you arre trying to escape.
They wildly pumpies the Kalshnikov Or Glocks.
And then you would fall to the ground in a Bloody mess.(Sorry about the word M).
Your wife and kids at home hear the news.
They are probably happy
The Government won’t pay the grieved family compensation cause JAYA is buying a new Diamond Set.
Then they are angry that you left a mess at the hotage site.

Ever get crushed because of a crush? (Part 2)

August 5th, 2008

KNIGHT
I suppose u r right.
I suppose I am going to get my Hair coloured.
I suppose Praveen is getting a BIKe rather than that 1980 TVS 50.
I suppose he is going to take a loan to buy one .
I suppose a loan which he cannot pay.
I suppose this topic is in action now.

PSP
Hey dude. I am not talking of having crushes on non living things like BIKES da……… It can be got even before college. I very surely know that You perfectly understood what I meant having crushes on…….. THE CHICKS.

M
topic closed due to inactivity.

G
Does that mean people cant have crushes anymore?

Awwww,

Ever get crushed because of a crush? (Part 1)

August 2nd, 2008

A
Hasn’t happened to me yet… But i’m curious and am hoping people out there have questions better yet answer’s! or thoughts out there about this……

K
It’s no big deal….no, wait, it is….kinda. They happen all the time (atleast that what people tell me…Ive (honestly) had only one as of now)

as for why, isnt it kinda obvious?

M
i’m not participating in this discussion.

A
K i don’t think u have understood what this topic is about… It wasn’t about why i didn’t have a crush it’s about other people’s crush’s…. And discussion’s about it…..
Well atleast that’s what i meant… I guess the topic came out diffrently… Let me phrase the topic like this… Do u people out there have questions, answer’s or thoughts out there about crush’s?

As to M why don’t you want to participate?

M
sorry, but i only participate in atleast remotely intelligent discussions.

Sd
I ve got into quite a few.
All the girls have been short statured

A
I had a crush once and it really hurt.

So i have sworn to get my revenge on my brother and the damn wall. Well, not much i can do to the wall, or maybe i can use it to crush my bro against it as well. hmmm….

we were talking abt crushes weren’t we?

Sw
It is absurd when you think about a “crush” and after some thought you find that it’s not all that cracked up to be!..the way people go on about it..it’s not all that!
When you look at all the things that can go wrong….you might want to take another look at whether or not it’s really worth it!
And as to M well he’s right,..talking about crushes is not all that intelligent,simply because it’s out there and we know what to expect when it’s um..”happening”!!

N
M this is the most stupid topic close it

G
Jeez, intellectual

X
you know what ananth i feel just the way u do.psyche

G
that means…..?

X
another of your infamous one liners.that means i’m making fun of A (as if u din’t know)

N
X Gs IQ is low he cannot under all this just ignore him

V
having crushes or getting crushed (whatever thats supposed to mean) is animal type behaviour. We all have these stages

see a girl
get a crush on her
fall in love
Fall VERY DEEP in love
go out every day
have sexual fantasies
first kiss
first f*ck
you dead.

these are all primitive cave man instincts and we as humans, highly intelegent and developed should not indulge in such actions and activities if we ever want to become perfect human being, we must stop this

————————

I had one (crush) and i have over come it. I usualy dont make any expressions or emotion nowadays. and i am the last person a girl would want to talk to since i have to respect for ladies. (that gentleman thing)

G
Never mind. Rather not be perfect. Imperfection is too much fun

N
UNfortunately vinny if u can controle this u wuld not be a human

M
shall i close this topic now or do you guys want to insult each other and A some more? personally, i want to ask A if he was following N’s signature literally.

C
Do you really have to ask…?Isn’t it rather obvious…

N
nah!!
A is not comming any more so u shld close this topic

G
Not nice M, uve driven away nother member. Poor guy. Hes probably sitting home planning “Denial-Of-Service” attacks on the invision servers. Watchout!!!!

You have created a demented monster who will not stop at finishing you but will proceed to systematically eliminate your fridge, answering machine and talking phone in no paricular order.

You fool!!!!!

C
No chance of that on a dial-up (I think..)

And don’t worry he’ll be back… its just that rehab takes a while.

Demented monster huh? now thats a good idea….

X
u should close this and also other topics which are out dated and whose only function now is as a spammer haven.

on the other hand just to fair to the spammers you guys could post in every topic that needs closing pointing it out to M which would be a sure way to get more posts

N
i agree u should also move then to a seperate area for closed topics

PSP
I suppose this topic will come back in action as many of us members are in college.

G
And todays random post is:

Definitions of Mage on the Web:

Acronym for Marine Aerosol and Gas Exchange, an IGAC activity beginning in 1990 to study the major sources and sinks of trace species that affect the radiative balance of the earth either directory or indirectly by altering the photochemistry of the marine atmosphere. The scientific goals of MAGE were: to understand the chemical, biological and physical mechanisms that control the exchange of trace gases and particulate material between the atmosphere and ocean surface; to develop formulations of ocean exchange processes for inclusion in global-scale climate and air chemistry models; and to extend the experimental knowledge of air-sea interchange to conditions with strong winds, rough seas and spray.
