I just realised that Metis Gretel and Devil Kitty probably used the same drum machines. The cymbals are almost exactly the same, especially the China-cymbal

I don't often watch Chinese Drama, but one of the things I always found stupid about it was those dramas where they pit a "chinese orchestra" against a western style one.

Now, I can see why they'd be compared... if only actual traditional Chinese music was being compared. But rather, they use "Chinese Orchestra", which is basically western music played on Chinese instruments modified to sound "pretty". So really, you're not comparing two vastly musical styles, you're comparing the same style played on marginally different instruments.

Of course, what would be cool is if they compared real traditional Chinese music, like Hebei Bangzi, to their western equivalents, but no, real traditional Chinese music is too shrill and not "pretty" enough for the modern bourgeois Chinese person.

Burmese Hsaing-waing music is like if you took Thai piphat but made it progressive and technical. It's full of tempo changes and weird time signatures. 

Does anyone know what Aika ex. Cuartet, Black:List and Triggah is doing these days? Is he still an associate of Tomozo's label or has he fully retired from anything music related?

Heavens Dust is just Kiryu for Kyles. I mean, holy fuck this screams monster energy drink and punching a wall

Just got back from the doctor, and its official. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. 

I'm convinced that iCarly predicted Millennial surrealist humor

I'd like to see someone who knows a lot about music explain what's going on musically that makes Kote-Kei sound like it does. The commonly used chord progressions, keys, tempos, techniques, etc.

That would be really interesting and insightful to see.

In an alternate universe, Deadly Sanctuary songs are actually part of DEViL KiTTY's discography and they sound way fucking better because Yuuga's singing them instead of Yayoi's nasally ass.

I'm considering buying Devil Kitty's first album, but I have a question for those that own it: Does it come with a lyric booklet? I'm curious because I've seen some for sale that have none, and I'm kinda in the dark lol

I wish it was easy to remove vocals from a song. There are so many songs I like the vocal track of, but don't care for the instrumentals and just wanna redo the instrumentals

Anyone else having issues with Niconico's audio? No sound is playing on any video

Great, someone bought that Devil Kitty VHS I was waiting to get. Looks like I'm never seeing those PVs ever, because the only other ones for sale don't come with a DVD rip, and one of them is like 50 dollars.

Gulu Gulu is having a Niconico live right now!

I just remembered this one time, in Nashville, I went to a Mellow Mushroom Pizza where they had live music, and this country band decided to just start covering Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg songs... but still singing like a country singer with the heaviest redneck accent you've ever heard.

Like... stop. Just rap the parts normally. Or just stay away from covering 90's Hip Hop if you're gonna use that accent. A UGK song, or Three Six Mafia song would be WAY more appropriate for that kind of accent... but not Snoop Dogg.

But really, if you're gonna do everything with such a heavy hick accent, and bro-country sounding compositions... you might just not wanna touch Hip Hop at all

I found this rare pic of 2002 Yuuga with a happy birthday message on a really old blog lmao. This screams early 2000's internet

What was with Visual Kei's obsession with pinch harmonics between 1998 and 2004, and what god damn idiot was the one who decided to stop using them? lmao

Anyone remember that dick who is staying over at my partner's place that I made a post about? Yeah he decided to make fun of my singing and the fact a lot of my music has harsh vocals and told me I'm horrible.

Like, bitch, that's why I'm fucking practicing, so I can fucking get better. No one is a fucking vocal wizard over night.

My partner is playing Dying Light and it's supposed to take place in Turkey, but it's such a bad representation of it that I came up with this reaching explanation: It's a highly gentrified part of Turkey that was taken over by Arabs, Russians and Americans so people have Arabic names, speak English with Russian accents, and the buildings and businesses are in English.

Seriously though, what part of Turkey looks like a Brazillian favela?

Whenever singing along to Vkei songs, does anyone else just make up the lyrics as you go along? Because that's generally what I do. I just sing whatever it sounds like they're singing because I'm just doing it for fun lol

Why the hell did teenage me buy into the dumbass rumor that Mahiro from Kiryu was a middle schooler in Curse and MADARA? What pre-teen lets Yuuga write him a song themed around Nakadashi (I don't think I should have to explain what that is lmao)

Does anyone know the story behind these early Inugami Circus Dan's TV performances? They seem to be from way before they released anything

So I tried DEZERT's new album, and I don't really plan to go back to it. I think it's a small step in the right direction, but it still doesn't hold up compared to their first two albums.

For one, I think the metal songs are holding back way too much on what they could be. There are no harsh vocals, for one, and while I get that not every metal song needs harsh vocals, these songs could definitely benefit from some screaming parts.

As well, Chiaki's voice just sounds weird. IDK if he just sounds like that now, or if they increased the throat-length setting on the Autotune in order to make him sound "manlier".

IDK what's holding them back, whether it be Danger Crue, or Chiaki himself. Either way, I like it better than TODAY, but I also think it could be much better.

At least those are my opinions, all I can do is hope the next album is better

Looks like Shattered Tranquility is officially down? Any time I try to access it, it says "Server not found"

I forgot how bad a lot of the Hip Hop from between 2007 and 2011 was. Specifically anything relating to Lil Wayne, Drake or Nicki Minaj. As a 7 to 11 year old, hearing it on the radio, it just annoyed me a little. As an adult who can actually comprehend the lyrical content, the beats, etc., it's even worse now.
