Uh, do you think that the recently released albums count for 2014, or no?

[up][up] Yes and hopefully the publications agree with me. If not, the albums must be considered for the following year's lists. That's the least publications can do.

I think that's what mostly happened, I've seen Beyonce's self titled pop up in a few lists. Even though it got technically released at the very tail end of 2013.

It didn't pop up on a lot, though, even if the site really loved it. Same's probably gonna happen with Black Messiah, which got a 9.4 (!) on Pitchfork.

I'm not following.

Well, I've noticed that anisong (a.k.a. anime songs, a subgenre of J-pop) and Eurobeat, to the extent to which I've listened to them, use harmony in certain ways that I like. Like, their choices of chord progressions, and stuff. Ways that differ from, say, what I usually hear in, say, American pop-rock.

Just trying to look for more genres like that.

[up][up]You mean how every one of them uses the "Humoresque" Progression at some point or another?

Considering that that progression is one of my two favorite progressions, sure. :D

Incidentally, I just realized another source — videogame music from the 16-bit era. And some from before that.

That Streets of Rage track is somewhat more jazz-inspired, but I quite enjoyed that. And I quite enjoyed the Diamond Dust Zone track too. Thank you. *puts both of those games on the "to-listen-to-more" list*

More examples of tracks I really like:

Eh, I've never been fond of JRPG-esque music. It's just not my thing.

Unrelated, but K-Pop fans are starting to get on my nerves. I had no idea until recently how Stan-like they worship their favorite artists. To diss them would be like cursing God in front of a pastor. And you best believe they will move Heaven and Earth to defend them.

Clearly, that means you should diss their favorite artists in front of them. :P

I've been a little resentful of K-pop, but only to the extent that I'm annoyed at finding little to no J-pop at anime conventions but one or more large booths of K-pop.

I remember this fairly funny incident that happened in December 2 years ago.

In the Muslim country Malaysia, you'd be hard-pressed to find a radio station that has The Pogues' freaking "Fairytale of New York" in their Christmas Songs Database here.

So, I was amused that THE hip DJ decided to play that Pogues song for the Christmas Songs Edition show at one of the very few indie music stations in the country. He played the uncensored version, so you can hear the word "faggot" loud and clear in the song. So I told the DJ about this via a Facebook post. He replied my post with something like "SHUT UP! The show was almost risked being cancelled just because you diss me for doing something cool in this closed-minded country". Everyone else who also commented replied me with something similar to what he said.

It's kind of awesome being scolded by your favorite DJ even if it's on Facebook. Especially if the incident is specifically due to freaking "Fairytale of New York".

[up]See "from Bottom of the Well, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia" in the identification.

"Bottom of the Well" sounds like it should be a city in Colorado somewhere, not Malaysia.

[up][up][up] Yes. Born and raised here for the entire 18 years of my life. It's not really fun living here. [lol]

[up][up] & [up] "Bottom of the Well" is a joke referencing "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", not a real place in Kuala Lumpur. I've never thought it'd be taken seriously.[lol] Anyway, @Odd1, which aspects did you think make a certain part of Colorado to have the name or similar to it? No, really, I'm curious. [lol]

[up]Gah, I thought it sounded odd but I just wasn't sure if it was legitimate or not.

Also I'm not Odd1.

And "Bottom of the Well" just sounds like such an Old West name.

[up]Oops, sorry about the name, @Physical Stamina.


If you think it couldn't get any worse after they made a Michael Jackson hologram, it's planned that hologram Liberace would perform for a world tour.

And thus, we're given this unintentionally hilarious statement that I'll cherish for years to come:

"You’ll feel the warmth from his heart, the sparkle of his eye and the pure lightning from his fingertips,” Jonathan Warren, chairman of the Liberace Foundation, said in a statement.

I modified the running order of a few Byrds albums today. Turn Turn Turn was especially improved. Unfortunately, I couldn't save Fifth Dimension from being an extremely inconsistent album.

[up] It's a dumb reason, but I couldn't enjoy The Fifth Dimension because even when I adjusted the volume to a reasonable level for the vocals, the instruments felt like they were behind a wall, and that hurt the experience.
