Peace Heavy mk II

Sorry for butting in without any real valuable input, but how exactly do "online bands" work? This board is the first time I've ever heard of them. My guess is that people just coordinate sound files back and forth amongst themselves and then someone puts them all together in Soundbooth or something.

Welcome

Your statement doesn't make sense to me. I agree with the whole why buy a single when I already have the album with the song I like statement, but what exactly doesn't make sense with the western concept? Because the Japanese way releases a hell of a lot more singles than the western one. And having re-recorded singles on the official album is nice and so are b-side releases. But that doesn't really matter to me since I don't really buy singles, only albums and some bands usually put out an album with all their b-sides released on singles along with maybe other unreleased material. So I'd rather just save my money on buying all the singles and just get the album with all the b-sides. In fact most people I know download singles instead of buying them and just end up purchasing the album. I think maybe the concept of saving money by buying singles instead of albums would have worked more in a time before the internet became so accessible and pirates came into existence. Releasing the singles after and before an album comes out is what doesn't make sense to me, especially if the band in question doesn't even stand a chance of getting any sort of radio time. The biggest example I could think of that really confused me was Deluhi's "Revolver Blast" single. Sure, it had b-sides, but they were absolute garbage just thrown on there to make the CD more appealing to those who didn't already buy their mini-album and to those who need to own everything ever by them. I understand why bands do it, just as Champ explained, but that doesn't mean I find it to be practical from a listener's standpoint. Do many Western artists even sell physical CD singles? I was under the impression that they only did that digitally on iTunes , thus further making the whole concept feel even more redundant.

TT_____TT That pirate song is going to stuck in my head for weeks now. WEEKS. Anywho, I personally prefer the Japanese method because I suffer from illusions of grandeur and ignore important aspects of the music industry that play a large role in what people call "reality," like fiscal problems and so forth. Although albums do tend to be 5 old songs, 6 new songs, 2 instrumentals, I do think it's cool when bands actually rerecord songs to sound differently than their original versions. Take Malice Mizer for example: their top selling album was like 7 singles, yet some of the album versions sound pretty different from their singles (Illuminati especially). However, most bands now a days do not do that in the least. Like Holy Grail: Versailles could have fixed Kamijo's vocal trips in "Judicial Noir" (which apparently is a surprise A-Side now?), but instead they just copied and pasted the audio file onto the album's master tracklist. UNDER CODE is pretty good at doing this as well, but it is not exclusive to Versailles and Kisaki in anyway, shape, or form. I think singles work well depending on how they're executed and delivered. For example, I like lots of B-sides, so the type A~D thing doesn't bother me. I don't really mind remixes a la Rentrer en Soi, but I feel like the B-sides shouldn't only be weird remixes like early Diru. They also work well if there is a drastic change of theme between them, like Malice Mizer again. I am not a fan of 1 track singles that end up only being used for a collection album, however. The only way I would justify buying them is if I really enjoy that band's music and I don't have any physical copies of the singles in question. The Western concept doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Why would I buy a CD with only 1 or 2 tracks on it when I already have the album with the song I care about on it. I have a bit more to say about it, but I am going to be late for school.

wow

Why does she keep asking "what time is it?" The guys in the skeleton costumes are probably what was left of UnsraW :

wow

I thought you liked like Cecir, here:

That reminds me: "Fancy Pink" needs to be playing as they walk me in :

aeofnghnoae I grunted IRL about this. Kyoka, what are you doing?

Their singer is most def. an android. Loved her in a few songs she's done with Delain, but never checked them out.

Single or album version?

Why isn't New Media Interactive Development listed in that picture?!??!?!??!!??!?!?!!?! Not like I even really know what it is, 3 years in, BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.

The entire Bara no Seidou album.

My school is about 75-25 male / female. Works for me, since girls are gross! Shame most of the guys here are gross neckbeards or deaf .

Mucho no me guesta.

What if they're the ones who have to take it? I kind of prefer being un-single at school. It's nice to have someone else to spend a lot of my free time with. Plus, most of the gay guys here are absolute whores who've probably slept with each other on more than one occasion. plus the really tall one I had my eye on only prays on innocent looking freshmen ;o;

A+

Oooohhh Erica sounds pretty Mirage-ish.

This is what facebook has looked like for the past week because of you.
