Experimenting with mp3s

[taotrooper]

Ah, I just got a software that can convert regular music tracks to digital files, so you know what it means. Yeah. Sharing music!

Maybe I'll make a tradition and share two to four songs a month. We'll see. I don't have a lot of music now.

I'll bring you today my first (and successful) sample:

Artist: Incubus
Song: Aqueous transmission
Genre: uh, in this case I'd say experimental
Notes: This is the song that named my journal ^_^ I love this song. It's so weird I don't know how to describe it. Even if Incubus is a rock band, this song lacks any rock instrument (we do hear DJ sounds and slight percussion, though). The melody is strongly Asian-influenced, so you'll find shamisen, flutes and orchestra string instruments performing it. But the weirdest sounds are birds chirping on the background and croaking frogs in the end of the song. The lyrics are pretty and interesting, probably about a river-water sailor who reflects about his feelings of loneliness while he sails, unless it's all a metaphor. Either way, it works for me.

Sorry about the size. The song is rather long (almost 8 minutes) so it turned out heavy. Maybe after hearing it, you'll see why I'm so satisfied with my LJ's newest layout.

Awww okay. Well at least I tried. Is there anything you wanted?

*shakes head* I'm not uploading mp3s in order to get things.

But but but! I want to share! =(

Oh fine. I could use some season 1-2 Touya/Yuki moments ^^

I just figured out you were fairymage *is slow and bad at remembering mun names*

[the-great-elk.livejournal.com]

Yay! I will look! Have no fear! XD

Oh. lol yeah... I usually forget things like that too. And I don't know if I really want people connecting the two.

Because this one is more personal, and you don't want RL people to see your fandom activities? I can see that. This is why a few people know my full name, and I prefer to be called by my alias anyway.

The only journal I don't want people to link me is my journalfen account (for fandom wank and assorted mocking comms reading *cough* I don't check it often, really!) Only Vicki-mun knows. In LJ I have... let's see... this one, a webmistress journal, an icon journal, a Spanish journal, a fic comm/journal. Whoa. I guess it's more for organization purposes. I don't like filtering or people filtering me a lot. I seriously doubt all my flist would read my fanfics or my personal Spanish posts, for instance.

Okay, let me know ^_^

Maybe. I'm not sure. I think I just like having a separate place to rant about life, so that my friends don't have to read my writing and my readers don't have to read about... me.

Yeah, like you said, it is mainly for organization in the end.

I'll let you know when I up episode 14. That one made me HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.
