    I really like the idea of this topic!

    Some of mine would be D and NoGod. Granted, I probably haven't given them enough chances yet, but both bands have musicians that are pretty talented. For whatever reason, outside of the occasional song here and there, their stuff doesn't really click with me in a way that gets me excited about them, craving more. NoGod, in particular, is interesting because I actually generally love male singers with high-pitched soaring vocals, but something about Danchou (that's his name, right?) slightly annoys me.

    Another artist is Cornelius. I love this guy, because he part of the guitar-pop dynamic duo known as "Flipper's Guitar" of the early 90's. I respect the hell out of his experimental electronic stuff, even if it's the polar opposite of his guitar pop masterpieces. I don't "not like" his electronic stuff, but I'm hoping one day it'll click for me more.

    There's definitely a few more, but my brain is in death-mode.

    So boogieman is officially over... I guess? I know someone who will be quite sad about this :(

    I don't know anything about boogieman, but I'd say they aren't necessarily over.

    Kazu is also in DIMMDIVISION. and The God and Death Stars currently and those are still around (in fact, Trombe just posted today that DIMMDIVISION. is coming out of hiatus the same month this band starts).

    Interested in hearing this band.

    So... we should do a MH-Turntable-sanctioned "Halloween Night"! Focusing on (but not limited to) "Halloween" type music, obviously.

    I'm pretty sure we did one last year. It doesn't necessarily need to be on Halloween, but it could be any weekend leading up to it. Who's up for it?

    Adele sings the theme song for the new James Bond film, Skyfall.

    I think the song is... pretty damn good. I just wish it had more of a classy spy-jazz style, because her voice would go so great with it.

    But it's awesome to hear her voice again!

    Surely you know some bands who impressed you from their very first release. You thought, "Wow, these guys are great" or "Damn, they've got some potential". Yes, those exact phrases, haha.

    :staru: :staru: So, let's discuss some of our favorite debut releases. :staru: :staru:

    (For the purposes of this thread, use your own discretion about what you consider the true debut release of a band. For instance, I wouldn't count mega-limited live-only demos as a debut, but a commercially released CD, yes.)

    (In no particular order, some bands that impressed me right from their debut:)

    キャンゼル (Canzel) - FiRST STEPS E.P. (single, March 2008)

    Ironically, the band's very first release includes my favorite songs by them, though admittedly track 1's "Allegro" has a better re-recording on another release. However, for 夢喰いバレヱ, this is absolutely the definitive version for me; still one of my favorite songs ever. Even though they're gone now, this band remains special for me, because it was probably the first VK band I really became a fan of that wasn't one of the "gothic"/tanbi/victorian-type bands. Also, extra sentimental value, because I found this CD signed by the members!

    the cabs - 一番はじめの出来事 (mini-album, April 2011)

    Some excellent math rocky technical prowess provided by a trio of talented musicians. I'm not sure if this is their first band or not, but these guys are good. Nice catchy moments, combined with impressive time-signature fuckery.

    ねごと (NEGOTO) - Hello! "Z" (mini-album, September 2010)
    http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41USK%2BYWD1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg
    An awesome release that instantly put this major-label all-girl band on my radar. They make nice keyboard pop-rock with some indie sensibilities and occasional quirkiness. Actually, with their subsequent releases, they've continued to improve and most are much better than this CD, haha. But you gotta start somewhere and this was definitely a great start.

    Zephyr - Plumeless Eyes (tape, October 1999)
    http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSeJUu2t0wSNe4JfYPAcHyrJWneC519m1rSzFkSzMjdLWYFp0ljPqEbbqVR7Q
    Zephyr is now one of my favorite VK bands from the 90's/early 2000's. The tape starts off with a genuinely nice "SE" track and leads into 2 totally solid melodic, fluffy VK soft-rock tracks. Though Caim's voice is an acquired taste for many, I love it; thus, I love Zephyr!

    The God and Death Stars - addle apple (mini-album, September 2011)

    I got into this band pretty recently and this is a stellar release. Love the "nagoya" style, whatever that truly entails, haha. Excellent atmosphere and aie has a pretty good voice.

    And of course there's others, but please share some of your favorite debuts!

    ^ Yeah, Neon... I didn't really like that one very much either.

    I just saw Looper last night. REALLY interesting; one of the coolest plots I've seen in a while.

    And a great performance by the child actor.

    The main thing that annoyed me was Joseph Gordon Levitt's weird lips, haha. Didn't look like young Bruce Willis, haha.

    I only listened once, but I'm a fan of the song. In the verses, it has kind of the Lareine-y feel that Illusion had, or am I crazy.

    I don't want to spoil the (limited amount of) new material of the album, so I'll wait to listen again, haha.

    As far as the PV quality... I don't think Warner has ever given them too big a budget. Don't know why, since they're major. I thought Destiny's and Philia's PV were simple, yet cool and well-done. Vampire's PV was bad (like it was only an afterthought) and Masquerade's PV had the potential for big budget elegance (the dancers, the extras, the big set) but was also poorly executed and strangely edited. I don't think the Truth PV was noticeably "worse" than those latter two.

    Still sad they never got to do a PV at the gardens/palace of Versailles.

    Great news for the few people that actually care about NEGOTO here:

    :staru::staru: 4 months of new releases!!! :staru::staru:

    Here's the schedule:

    November 2012: 4th single (11/7)

    December 2012: 5th single

    January 2013: 6th single

    February 2013: 2nd full album

    As you can see, only the November single's specific release date has been announced so far.

    I'll update as I tracklist and other info becomes available.

    In the meantime, rejoice and hope the world doesn't end in December 2012. I need to hear this new album!

    ...sai, you break my heart. I still can't believe you didn't like their album... :(

    But I'm glad you liked the singles afterwards!

    @saishuu,

    I second CaRan, their first album is a good starting point.

    Or if you want their more recent stuff, go ahead and check out the AIVIE, 約束, and イオ singles. (The title tracks will all be included on this upcoming album, btw).

    Either way you'll be getting about 12 songs, so you should know by then whether UNiTE is something you'd want to look into further.

    Some additional PV's and songs to preview

    Here is the band's new look.

    UNiTE-MEANiNGlook.png

    Needless to say I'm beyond excited for this. I loved their first album and so far, they have yet to disappoint me. I'm really happy "Eniver pf ver" is being included, since that's a cute instrumental. I hope "grow into UNiTE." will also be a good SE track, because I genuinely like "melt into UNiTE." The tracklist looks excellent, only 3 repeated tracks and we've covered our goofy title quota with "Cocky-discuS". "クオリア" (Qualia) makes me wonder if the song will be something LiN wrote for his old band LeMpicka? because they seemed obsessed with that word.

    This is a very unconventional pick for "Song of the Day," but this song is hilarious.

    It's a parody rap song from a recent German film called Türkisch für Anfänger (Turkish for Beginners).

    As ridiculous as the lyrics are (check the translation below), this song honestly isn't too far off from some mainstream rap that is actually supposed to be taken seriously.

    I present "Nutten am Pool" (Hoes by the pool)

    41CeV4_i7f0

    English Translation (includes some politically incorrect language, apologies):

    Shut the hell up, dumbass!

    My dad’s a cop, I’m the boss of the block

    One wrong word and you get a bullet in the head

    Kalashnikov, gold chain, wife beater

    Your mom gets a dick in the mouth, like in Jungle Camp

    Look at me: a kid from the street

    Making more on “snow” than a Winter Olympiad

    Ask Eva Padberg, he fucks like a champ

    Cem is the reason you lock up at night

    Chorus:

    Yeah, I’m chilling with hoes by the pool

    What do you want from a son-of-a-bitch?

    Wanna learn something? Watch me!

    Say hi to your Mom from me, bastard

    Everything sparkles and shines

    The gun goes *bang*

    I’m not a good guy

    Cem is the G that busts hoes with his dick

    Run, motherfucker! Run!

    Yo, my balls are bigger than my pride

    Dude, I jetski in the Persian Gulf

    I bang bitches like Jessica Alba

    You only bang bitches as ugly as sin

    Glasses: Gucci

    Suit: Armani

    Watch: Breitling

    Dick: Ferrari

    Hoes get hot like wasabi, when they see me

    I fuck ‘em and leave, cause a gangsta doesn’t sleep

    Bitch, look in my pants: it’s Cem’s monster

    Even the ozone hole is too tight

    Just ask Christina Aguilera, who’s the biggest

    The hoe could barely get off of my kebab skewer

    Chorus

    I’m chilling with hoes by the pool

    What do you want from a son-of-a-bitch?

    Cem is the boss, he fucks all hoes to death

    You bastard, your mom is gay
