General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Heroes & Thieves Tracklist

Can you imagine if Annie didnt make the cut for Harmonium? I wouldnt be the person I am today.

I am probably going to be hunted down for this, but I actually did not like Annie, I thought it was one of the poorest songs on Harmonium. But Harmonium was a little disappointing to begin with for me.

Now don't kill me.....

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / WOW @ the 'Heroes & Thieves' CD cover.

That looks really nice! Vanessa looks absolutely beautiful.
Now hoping that the booklet is not again a fold-out-thingy like with Harmonium. That annoyed me.....

Vanessa is one artist who seems to know her best songs. I'm fairly sure we'll get a recording of "All Is Well." Perhaps not "Best Behavior," because let's face it, it's not as good.

Have to agree with that.

I actually don't agree with that. Morning Sting is (I believe) a fan favourite and for me it is one of her best songs, but it didn't make Harmonium.

Of course I am not implying that Vanessa does not know her own best songs, but it is typical. Also I think Best Behaviour was the best out of the early batch of new songs and I am not (at all) impressed by This Time. So for me it seems she is again making a mistake.

I will just wait and see I guess.

Creative Endeavors / Signs of life

« on: August 22, 2007, 03:42:23 am »

Hey all
After months of writer's block and too little time to actually spend on writing I finally have some output again. It's not finished yet, but as soon as I have finished it I will post the entire version. Comments and feedback are very much appreciated as always. And I am interested as to whether you know what it's about. A friend of mine had no clue.

no revelations or wonders
just the plain old, plain old
follow the line another day
and trace the circle all the way
across
hopes
for another layer to unfold
sometime
sometime

those are the signs of life
those are the signs of life

they are putting
the echo on again
"wait and you will see the reward"
but these soothing words
like golden swords
still stain red
as they carve across my chest
the puzzle of belonging
pieced together as tears collide
inside
inside

those are the signs of life
those are the signs of life

how long
hold on
thinking she will guide
the Lady with the dice
reverse
mirror
and join the hunter's game
that demands to be played

Entertainment - Movies / TV / Books / Buffy The Vampire Slayer

« on: August 17, 2007, 04:28:08 am »

I am sooo addicted to Buffy right now. I bought the big all-season dvd set lately and I have watched all episodes. It was my favourite show when it was still on and I am so happy that it hasn't lost any of its charms as sometimes happens with television shows (I don't understand how I could ever have liked Dawson's Creek for example).

I am also completely hooked to the music from the musical episode. Don't know why, but I really enjoy listening to it.

My favourite episode is probably the dream episode Restless, but Hush, The Body and Once more with feeling are also fantastic.

Viva la Buffy!!

Polls / Best song off heroes and thieves so far?

I voted for Best Behaviour, but if Fools Like Me were included I would have voted for that one without a doubt.

I thought I never had a dream about Vanessa, until I read these posts and I remembered a dream I had a few weeks back.

Vanessa was basically giving a concert in the auditorium of my high school (I graduated five years ago, but for some reason I was there anyway). I can't remember the entire thing, but I do remember that she was talking with the students a lot and when she went on stage to play. She then asked if there were any request songs and I thought of Ameriteen, because there is only one recording of it and I could use the opportunity to record another great version of it and you guys would all worship me for it  :razz:

And apparently I was the only one in the audience who actually knew her, because I was the only one who had an actual request song. However, she wouldn't play it for some reason (I forgot), but she was like WTF how does he know that song?? She then invited me to the stage to pick another song from a list of old and new songs, but the titles of the songs were all weird and they all had something to do with sea creatures and had weird cartoonesque drawings next to them........

And that was basically it because my alarm clock went off at that point. The fact that my alarm clock went off is probably the only reason I remember it now.

I really like the lyrics, they fit the atmosphere of the music very nicely. And I have to disagree about the lame part.

Damn, that sounds really impressive.

I really like Cellar Door, it makes wanna be creative and write again and that is something that I haven't felt in a long time. Is this the song for which you actually have lyrics??

It's been released in The Netherlands, since I have it. Don't know about the rest of Europe though.

Other Musicians / Tori Amos

« on: February 28, 2007, 06:20:32 am »

Gelukkig iemand die de huidige artiesten ook niets vind. Ik luister echt totaal niets meer van de top 40 muziek. Het grootste gedeelte is toch gangsta rap of R&B, twee dingen waar ik een gruwelijke hekel aan heb.

Fiona Apple ken ik, tenminste haar laatste cd, en die vind ik erg goed. Haar eerdere cd's zou ik een keer moeten checken.
Lisa Loeb zegt me wel wat, maar heb er nog nooit naar geluisterd en Jewel heb ik geboycot na die ene cd (ik luister het nog heel soms).
Ik ga wel even die musical googlen waar je het over had.
Bedankt voor de tips iig.

Other Musicians / Tori Amos

« on: February 28, 2007, 06:02:50 am »

Sorry for the non-Dutch people around here, but

grappig van die musical, ik had er nog nooit van gehoord, maar de link met de wizard of Oz is idd snel gemaakt met die titels.
Over die naam. Tja een zusje van een vriendin van mij had de neiging om iedereen Russische namen te geven en dus werd ik Zloska. Toendertijd was ik een boek aan het lezen (catch-22, goed boek) en daarin stond iets van "where are the Snowdens of yesteryear", dus omdat het mijn favoriete boek was maakte ik mijn nickname Zloska of yy waar yy yesteryear betekent. Niets ergs aan, toch?
Alleen dat zusje was een beetje raar en bedacht een heel raar verhaal over de naam Zloska en dat dat de naam was van een lichaamsdeel van haar(mannelijk lichaamsdeel) dat het niet meer deed. Dus.......tja.
Toen was ik niet zo blij meer met de bijnaam Zloska. Ik ben alleen te lui om hem te veranderen.

Maar jij, jij bent vrouwelijk neem ik aan? Gezien de vriend. Niet dat dat alles zegt natuurlijk maar ja. Ken jij toevallig nog andere goeie muzikanten heb nieuwe input nodig. Ik denk dat je redelijk dezelfde smaak hebt als ik, gezien je op dit forum rondstruint en reageert op een thread over  Tori Amos.

Nu weer terug aan het werk. Ben al zo productief vandaag  :?
