I JUST CRAPPED MY PANTS
(Warning: it’s another music/Sennheisers blog. Deal with it.)
Me: these Sennheisers are fantastic. There is no way you can make music sound any better.
YouTube: May we recommend 8D songs?
Me: holy shifshlfahdflksdfhfalrjweaosdfamc
8D songs are edited in a way to make it sound like the music is oscillating around you and to give you the illusion that you’re listening to it live.
The trick is to wear headphones while listening. And as I’m sure you’re expecting me to say, these Sennheisers really make these songs sound ridiculous.
It’s like you’re not even wearing headphones. I can’t explain it. You’ve got to listen.
I’m obsessed with these headphones and how music sounds on them and I’m not sorry.
Right in the FEEEEELS
So the past few times I’ve done NaNo, I’ve made a blog post in which I talk about a “soundtrack” that would be appropriate to go along with that year’s NaNo novel. I don’t really have such a soundtrack in my mind for my ghost story this year, but I heard Owl City’s Silhouette on shuffle the other day and holy hell, does that song capture the mood I’m trying to get to in the sadder portions of the novel when Nick is feeling very much alone, out of control, and aware that he is rapidly losing is fight against a relentless death.
The song itself isn’t about death, but it invokes that exact feeling I’m going for.
It’s beautiful. It’s heartbreaking. I love it.
Edit: zomg, I just listened to this song for the first time on my new Sennheisers and those subtle chords in the line “the fire I began is burning alive”—especially the second time (2:09)—are like daggers to the soul. Gorgeous.
Six hours of studying statistics leads to this insanity
HELLO MySpace land! It’s nice to be able to actually publish these things as I write them and not have to save them in Word. Super happy am I.
Anyway.
So I spent all morning/afternoon/early part of evening doing stats-related stuff, so when I came home I decided to do something that was also fun but in a totally different way.
REMIX TIME!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I actually uploaded something to YouTube. Audacity + Fireflies + love for electronic music = this. As my comments say, sorry if it sucks, but Audacity is in no way Garage Band and I have never remixed anything in my life. So yeah.
Be kind!
Today’s song: Fireflies (My Remix Version Thingy Dunno What to Call it Yet) by Owl City, remixed by me. Mainly because I didn’t have time to go find another song today.
BUS CENTRIFUGE!
This song rocks.
Another beautiful iTunes single
Here is this week’s stunning iTunes single. Get it before it costs money! Or get it after that, even, it’s that good.
This is how slow electronic SHOULD sound.
