No Doubt

June 29th 2006 03:04
I'm going to start this by saying "why Gwen Stefani? Why?" she had an ok pop punk/ska band going, and then she decided to also release solo skank pop (yes, it's plenty a real genre) I mean, have any of you heard her butcher 'These Boots are Made for Walking', by Nancy Sinatra? Or even worse, have you seen the video clip?? honestly, either make a video clip, or make porn - trying to mix them just doesn't work.

Anyhoo, No Doubt formed in 1986, and originally only had a keyboardist and 2 singers. I have no idea what their music sounded like at this stage, but it was probably alot better then their recent stuff. A lot more unique at least due to the general lack of instruments.

No, there aren't any actual clips here, just me rambling about them.

RATM video clips are all pretty damn funny. Guerilla Radio tells a story about aliens with a fiendish plot to rig the 200 American election by entering clones, by the name of George Bush and Al Gore. I'm just going to claim that the cheesy metal wearing aliens are intended as satire of 1960's scifi movies, and not just shoddiness.

Pandora

June 7th 2006 10:00
Welcome to the world of deceptive post titles, this has nothing to do with Pandora's Box (an Ancient Greek Myth told of a box that, when open, pretty much loosed all kinds of mayhem and destruction). It is more to do with
Pandora.com

Emo Music

June 1st 2006 00:49
Second part of my Emo post, mostly because I started rambling last time and couldn't shut myself up. Well, this post is going to be less positive, because While Emo culture has some great points to match the bad ones, the same can't really be said for the music. (by the way, I'm talking about modern Emo, as I know almost nothing about the 80's Emo and 90's Indie-Emo.)
