Cake
Daphne Loves Derby
The Starting Line
Sigur Ros (yay trance!)
Frou Frou / Imogen Heap
Louis XIV (if you're lookin for something fun)</p>
<p>The Decembrists have a line about marching the streets of Birkenau. There are no streets in Birkenau. The only sign says "Arbeit macht frei". And why would you be marching? The only marches they did in Birkenau were OUT of Birkenau. They were DEATH marches, and not done by soldiers. The only way he would be a soldier at Birkenau would either be as an SS, which is not really a soldier, or a Soviet liberating. </p>
<p>Lost all credibility with me there, they did.</p>
<p>This is to let everyone know that Hemingwayisdead is a fun-sucker...</p>
<p>I meant that you're probably a Her Majesty fan =) I don't know if that came out in a strange way.</p>
<p>Hemingway- Aww, don't be so nitpicky! By 'soldier,' Meloy most likely meant 'guard' (at Birkenau). And, I would imagine that the guards would march through the various roadways within the camp (my school loves Holocaust documentaries- there WERE clear "streets" within the camp). And, the SS WAS a military organization, so even calling the narrator a soldier wouldn't be much of a stretch.</p>
<p>Finally, what sounds better?
"And here I dreamt I was a soldier
And I marched the streets of Birkenau"
OR
"And here I dreamt I was a guard/member of the SS (choose one)
And I walked the various pathways connecting buildings in Birkenau"</p>
<p>ha ha, i wouldn't call them streets so much because there were so many darn blocks! it would be like new york city. Oh, and he could be creative too, saying he was a kommandant, or a kapo. Much clearer than soldier. And yes, I prefer the second version. :p </p>
<p>just kidding. atleast he knows what Birkenau is (that's more than I can say with 99% of my high school). Maybe some kid will listen and ask, what's Birkenau? better'n nothing i suppose.</p>
<p>sigur ros isn't trance lol...</p>
<p>True. I'd rather listen to slightly-historically-inaccurate songs than listen to T-Pain try to buy me a 'drank' =P</p>
<p>Collapsethelight: Blahhh so what IS Sigur Ros then?? I'm not good at this classifying thing. Actually, I suck...</p>
<p>Post-rock? Ambient?</p>
<p>yes it is post rock/ambient/experimental</p>
<p>SPOON</p>
<p>new album in july</p>
<p>i second spoon too.</p>
<p>Yes... I've really enjoyed the songs that I've (cough) previewed from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (correct number of "ga's" ??? I hope so!)</p>
<p>Audioslave...the Killers.......and Linkin Park</p>
<p>Their latest album was a bit subpar, but Kamelot's still my favorite. <3</p>
<p>my favorite band of all time will always be blink 182. they've helped me out alot as i've grown up.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>yeah..it's pretty rad. i kinda cheated myself and downloaded the leak, but i'm sure to buy it in stores. there are a whole bunch of bonus tracks with that cd. haha i already have some of them.</p>
<p>How do you quote??</p>
<p>Like, I see the "Quote message in reply?" checkbox beneath this box I'm typing in, but I can't click on it...</p>
<p>Anyway.</p>
<p>You guys and your awful new music...</p>
<p>Led, Stones, Beatles, Floyd, Hendrix, Tallica, and a crapload of other music that was written before you were born.</p>
<p>Well, seeing as you're a part of the class of '08... it was all written before you were born, too.</p>
<p>And I'm listening to the Beatles right now. Don't be such a music snob (and this is coming from me...). Have you actually arbitrarily divided "old" music from "new" music, and decided that all "old" music is good and all modern music is "awful?" How old does an album have to be before it's "good?" Thirty years old? Forty? Twenty? There were excellent songs written before I was born... but excellent music written during "my time" as well.</p>
