Fluttershy_Pony 10/06/19 6:25:44 PM #303:	IhatethisCPU posted... I'm... just flat out shocked by the mash-up being in, still. Ah. Well as many times as I've talked about rave.dj in unrelated write-ups and wouldn't shut up about the site at the end of the last topic, I'd say my interest in that site and its creations is well documented. =================== #105 [#80]: Name: Headache Origin: Motionless In White Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/1zVuDtGYWtwg2Id64zrL2K?si=9j6-aGAfRoGwTzna80rVoQ Nominator: Bane (9/15) (7, 7, 7.1) [This is close to what I was hoping to get from the topic.] The song does a remarkably good job of simulating what a mental episode feels like (though the throat slitting might be taking things a tad too far), which is interesting. It's just obviously not a subject I want to spend much time dwelling on, for obvious reasons. Band seems like they might be interesting--the briefest of Google searches taught me they've gone on tour with Alice Cooper (bonus points for that; for the band, not the song itself) & that the most awkward part of that tour for the band was realizing Alice Cooper fans are old enough to actually recognize what their song "Necessary Evil" is sampling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeq2nOKvSno" data-time=" A dark, heavy metal song that uses a corrupted version of a 60s pop song as their chorus? That is great and I may have to look into the band later--at the very least Evil is getting added to my playlist immediately so I don't have to worry about forgetting about it, because again, this song is great. [Final Thoughts: Well, I'm not as into Evil today as I was when I wrote that, but it & Headache are both [nice isn't the right word but I'm going with it anyway] nice songs.] =================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:928424097] in Raetsel ra...

Fluttershy_Pony 10/06/19 7:11:03 PM #304:	==================== #104 [#78]: Name: Spring Origin: Foxbase Alpha (Saint Etienne) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8PxSQYdSTE" data-time=" Nominator: Placeee (6/15) (7, 7, 7.1) [Good, though it leaves me wanting more.] Another pop song with a great singer that I enjoy, but never really manage to connect with the lyrics. Strangely, something about her voice is reminding me heavily of someone from the 60s or 70s, but I can't quite place it. The closest I've come is Dionne Warwick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijhL9Y7skQs" data-time=" But that's not quite it. There's a certain quality to their voices in the respective choruses that I find somewhat similar, but not really similar enough for the feeling this nomination was giving me. (As an aside I love that song by Dionne Warwick and it's one of my most listened to songs on Spotify this year). Even less related, but I was surprised to learn this was the band behind "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", which was never one of my favorite songs but is something I know well enough to have recognized instantly. Didn't know that was a cover of a Neil Young song, of all people--not that I have anything against Young (I only know his biggest hits, but those were great), I'd just never heard his version of the song and the Saint Etienne version doesn't sound anything like Neil Young. </.< Back on topic, I do like the song. I may or may not give the group another try later; I like her voice enough that she's probably earned it. =================== ==================== #103 [#210]: Name: How to Be a Heartbreaker Origin:MARINA Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKNcuTWzTVw" data-time=" Nominator: Hannyabal (11/15) (5, 4.5, 7.1) [Not bad. I like her voice a lot more than I did on the other song, but Im almost completely disinterested in the lyrics and the video (...though I kinda liked that she wore a variety of bows, if were being completely honest) which is going to hold it back.] Well "6.2" [EDIT: 6.7 now [EDITED EDIT: Make that 7 EDIT 3: Err...7.1?]] is a bit better than "not bad", but it still doesn't inspire much in the way of comments. [Final Thoughts: Enjoyed far more than expected, moved up 30-some spots. [Later Edit: Well that was written somewhere between 10 to 20 slots ago, as I didn't want to cut this song. So somewhere between +30-50 spaces from where I planned on eliminating it. This should not be my sort of thing and I don't know why I like it as much as I do. Thumping dance beat, subject matter I'm not interested in, it's just not really my type of song by any measure. And yet, here we are, with it just barely missing the top 1/3rd.] ==================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:928426271] in Raetsel ra...

Fluttershy_Pony 10/06/19 8:02:59 PM #305:	=================== #102 [#171]: Song: Shounenki Origin: Tetsuya Takeda Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I17i-qxONo" data-time=" Nominator: handsomeboy (8/15) (5.5, 6, 7.1) [I like the lyrics, but the song itself is a bit too traditional for my tastes.] It's a fairly nice song, lamenting the loss of youth. Very traditional, which doesn't leave much to say about the song itself--it's sung well, but it doesn't seem to be a particularly complex song by any definition. Which isn't bad, it's just a melancholic reflection on life and trying to do anything fancy with the song would likely get in the way of the message. ==================== ==================== #101 [#106]: Name: We'rewolf Origin: Every Time I Die Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/5Bfy6Wfj4G1GBYWlMfQ1by?si=YzLA_yxdTYOWqRIOpjCwNQ Nominator: Bane (8/15) (6.5 [later increased to a 7.2], 7, 7.1) [I dont party, so party music is another genre that has an uphill battle to get my attention... but if I can pretend the party animal metaphor is literal, that would do it. Its amusing, not as scream-y as usual for metal music, and as close to furry as Im getting this batch of songs. ...Actually lets bump that score up to a 7.2.] Well it turns out that furrier songs were still to come, either directly featuring animals or just coincidentally putting me in a very furry headspace. Well, I mean I'm basically always in that sort of headspace, but some songs better compliment the feelings? It's too awkward to explain. Song's pretty good. Love the title, it's the most clever use of an apostrophe I've ever seen (not that I can think of any other clever apostrophes for comparison). Good vocal control, he's both loud & easy to understand without keeping a set of lyrics in front of you the whole time. Just not able to get totally invested in a party song, no matter how many positive things I can find to say about it. ==================== And that brings us to the top 100! Yay! ...Sorta working on making a list of the top 100 songs to actually do an update for once, but it's slightly trickier than anticipated doing it all on the phone. It'll be a while, but I'll probably get it up later tonight. --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:928428794] in Raetsel ra...

There are no right answers, nor wrong answers, nor can a nomination slot be wasted. If you nominated what you truly wanted to, then it was a good nomination--no exceptions. That goes to everyone, no matter what my reaction to that specific nomination was. You also exposed me to a variety of songs from a genre I didn't have experience with. That is a thing I wanted to happen. So please, don't think like that--this topic would be notably worse if no one took a chance submitting new genres. Also, not to put anyone else down, but getting anything in the top 100 is an accomplishment. Those songs beat two hundred others to get that far and we entered "songs I like" territory quite a while ago. Your contributions were appreciated. All of them. And if I do something like this again (and I hope to do so someday), know that your appearance would always be warmly welcomed. --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:928468524] in Raetsel ra...

Fluttershy_Pony 10/08/19 12:08:33 PM #329:	I...never really thought about it. If limited to the 12 official members of the Princess line, I think it would have to be Rapunzel--with a special nod to Aurora for having the cutest dress & Ariel for having the best "I want" song. Though I never watched the Rapunzel TV series, so I can only judge based on the movie itself.

I was never part of the community, so I have minimal experience with MLP fanworks. I've got the Fighting is Magic characters that were converted to MUGEN (Rainbow Dash is best fighting game character of all time) and Mega Pony (because it was a big enough Mega Man fangame to appear on my radar even without the pony connection), but I think that may be it. Honestly, the commmunity in general is probably fine, but I saw enough hostility there from day one to know to stay out of the way. Aaanywho, I'm...mildly curious about seeing what other fanworks are available, but also a bit weary about actually looking into it, so who knows? May go find other songs or games or something, may continue avoiding it. Honestly, with the show ending, it may be safe to look around these days--no more show + no more obsessive fanbase = chance to look around through all the old material that is now abandoned without running into certain people ever again. In theory. Song itself is...unique, shall we say? I like it, but I'm never going to be able to separate my feelings on ponies in general enough to be objective, so there's not much to say about it. [Final Thoughts: Another song that is better than I made it sound. Sweetie Belle alone isn't enough to have gotten the song this far.] ====================</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's still enough Chemical Plant Zone here for this to make me feel nostalgic, but enough Sleepwalk that I can recognize it now that I've gone to find that song which I hadn't heard of before. It's...fun. I've never been interested in SiIva's work before, but this might be the first track that inspires me to try listening to some others. Maybe. [Final Thoughts: I think I've gone back to listen to this more times than anything cut to this point.

There's still enough Chemical Plant Zone here for this to make me feel nostalgic, but enough Sleepwalk that I can recognize it now that I've gone to find that song which I hadn't heard of before. It's...fun. I've never been interested in SiIva's work before, but this might be the first track that inspires me to try listening to some others. Maybe. [Final Thoughts: I think I've gone back to listen to this more times than anything cut to this point.
