Music Listening Report :: essays research papers

When I sat down to do a Listening report last night, I startedthinking, "Who am I kidding?". I am never going to pushmyself to listen to 15 Jazz CDs in a week and a half, so Iam going to do the remainder of my listening reports onmusic that I exchangeable to listen to. You may think it defeats the manipulation of listening reports, tho thats not true. What theseguys play may sound like heavily distorted noise, and toomuch yelling played at way too high of volumes to theaverage adult, and honestly, it is. But there is music, andevery day 1000s of kids are trying to teach themselves theirfavorite headliners, and thats how we learn to play ourinstruments in the first place. So, now that Ive convincedyou WHY I am doing this listening report, here is the actualthingThe vociferation (the only one by this free radical) on the CD isNew Skin by Incubus which is really cool, becauseto most people it sounds a lot like hydrant, but to me it isa really fast-paced alternative music s ong becauseof the actual instrument playing (not featured in thebasic drum tracks of rap music) and the repeatedchorus, which sounds really cool because thebassist and lead vocals play and sing on a perfect4th. The second group on the tour is bust. Their biggestheadliner is raunchy Monday, which is a really kickassremake of the David Bowie Original. Its about someguy who hated Mondays, so he went out and shot abunch people, mostly kids I think, at someconvention WAY back in the day. Then David Bowiewrote a song about it, and it was under a lot of heat.But now, Orgy made the song HUGE. It is anamazing song. Orgy has a very unique sound. Theyare sort of an Electro-Punk band. They have somereally hardcore guitar riffs, but they to a fault got somesweet Synth tracks and stuff like that. The best thingabout them, though, has got to be their VocalDistortions. They got this cool echo-y noise addedto their voice. Orgy also performs Dissention andGender.The next group is Limp Bizkit. These guysco-starred the tour, and performed such songs asFaith, youve probably heard people singing thissong. Its another remake, I have no idea who wrotethe original or why, but its a cool song, "Wouldnt itbe nice, If I could touch your body . . . ." Thats theopening of the song. They also redid an old Houseof Pain song, " dancing Around".
