(music) Ok.. so I'm weird when it comes to music...

[SirFozzie]

I was talking to SackAttack about one of the songs from Guitar Hero 2 (it's called FTK in Guitar Hero 2, because it had to be cleaned up, cuz the real name is "Fuck the Kells" (The Kells is the name of a bar in Allston, MA). That triggered the following conversation:

[00:03] sackattackfofc: what an evocative title
[00:03] CambridgeForever: it's from Guitar Hero2
[00:03] CambridgeForever: (under the title FTK)
[00:03] sackattackfofc: the song is? or the title?
[00:03] sackattackfofc: ahh.
[00:03] CambridgeForever: both
[00:03] sackattackfofc: so it's a song they might've heard anyway
[00:03] CambridgeForever: well, the GH2 version is cleaned of course.
[00:03] sackattackfofc: hehe
[00:04] CambridgeForever: Between that, Freezepop, and an 80's cartoon theme I won't mention, anyone trying to make sense of the music I listen to must be scratching their head
[00:04] sackattackfofc: hehe
[00:04] sackattackfofc: Danger Mouse? or Count Duckula?
[00:04] CambridgeForever: Nope
[00:04] sackattackfofc: She-Ra.
[00:04] sackattackfofc: got to be.
[00:04] CambridgeForever: nope.. but you're in the vague neighborhood
[00:05] sackattackfofc: heheh.
[00:05] sackattackfofc: Thundercats!
[00:05] CambridgeForever: nope. Colder
[00:05] sackattackfofc: hmmm.
[00:05] sackattackfofc: gimme a hint
[00:05] CambridgeForever: Hmm..
[00:05] CambridgeForever: Words associated with the show.
[00:05] CambridgeForever: Showtime
[00:05] CambridgeForever: Outrageous
[00:05] CambridgeForever: Synergy
[00:06] sackattackfofc: oh god
[00:06] CambridgeForever: (laughing out loud)
[00:06] CambridgeForever: Figure it out yet?
[00:06] sackattackfofc: I think there's a very good reason your subconscious gave you three words whose initials combine to send out the message "S.O.S."
[00:06] CambridgeForever: Actually, the reason I hunted it down is that Freezepop did a remake of that song that jarred my memory
[00:07] sackattackfofc: yeah, THAT'S the reason. it's got nothing to do with your kiddie crush on Jem 20 years ago
[00:07] CambridgeForever: Who me?
[00:07] sackattackfofc: http://www.amazon.com/Jem-Complete-1.../dp/B0001LJCUM <---- that link says "Yes, you," and dear god I don't want to know why the item number ends the way it does
[00:07] CambridgeForever: LOL
[00:07] CambridgeForever: oh my god, I'm nearly literally Rolling here
[00:08] CambridgeForever: This has to go on a thread on FOFC, under people's "Weird choices" for music
[00:08] sackattackfofc: I am almost positive that this is going to start a thread on FOF--you beat me to it. only I think that thread title is far more genteel than mine would have been.
[00:08] CambridgeForever: Something like "Foz is fucking weird?"
[00:09] sackattackfofc: insane would have been my choice but yes

So.. Ok.. what's your Weird Choices in music?

here's my last.fm audio profile (used to be Audio Scrobbler)

One caveat: I only record my last.fm playlist on last.fm (none of my iPod or winamp stuff) and there's a really long stretch for a while where I didn't use last.fm, like months-long.

So the Weekly Top Artists is a better barometer of my current musical tastes, some of which might be classified as weird, at least by a US audience.

Overall Top Artists

Yeah, hence the caveat. That was back when I was going through this really weird Britney binge for some reason. She'll be replaced by BoA next Sunday when the charts update and then will gradually get pushed further and further down the list.

[cthomer5000]

im not embarssed to say i can sing the entire show opening from memory.

[SirFozzie]

Thank you, cthomer5000!

[Izulde]

I watched Jem some as a kid, but Voltron was where it was at.

[SirFozzie]

By the Way, when Mike, my friend in Seattle heard of this conversation, he asked how my brain could go from listening to a punk song like "Fuck the Kells" to "Jem and the Holograms" theme in seconds.. I tried figuring that one out, then figured that it would be the centipede's dillemna, if I tried to figured out how I do it, then I wouldn't be able to do it anymore

Yup.. the opening and the ending!

Nice! I have the opening but not the close.

[SirFozzie]

I'll put it up on YouSendIt, Izulde.

BTW, if anyone else is on Last.FM, please feel free to send me a friend request

[sabotai]

There's an FOFC group (from back when it was called Audio Scrobbler)

http://www.last.fm/group/FOFC

[SirFozzie]

yeah, most people stopped updating on that a while ago, hopefully we can get that started again

[Izulde]

FOFC Group joined.

[Passacaglia]

I just signed up for this, and joined the group. I still don't know what I'm doing, though...seems like I couldn't get the software to connect here at work, so I'm just listening through the web site.

[SirFozzie]

Pass: There's plugins available that track your song playing (I use the Itunes Plug in for example)
