Metatalktail Hour: Voight-Kampff, except it's songs June 18, 2022 2:00 AM Subscribe
Is it time for a test game? How about this: I'll post a song, then the next person posts a song it reminds them of — either lyrically, thematically, rhythmically, or just overall vibe. The next person does the same for that song. And so on. Let's see where we end up, and maybe discover a few new tunes along the way! (and whether you are a replicant or not, just incidentally.)
We'll probably end up with some posts getting more than one response, and that's okay! To keep things from getting too confusing, if several people seem to be posting at the same time, you should probably say which person's song you are responding to, or the title of the song you are responding to. You can say what joins the two songs in your mind, or just post without explaining.
Or, just tell us what's up with you, what been happening, what's on your mind ... except no politics, please and thank you!

At the risk of continuing a national stereotype of Iceland - take Björk's singing off that track and it sounds very like several Amiina tracks [previously]. In which case, and not deliberately continuing an Icelandic theme:

Some of the chord changes in Milkman reminded me of Roundabout, though maybe I just have Roundabout on the brain, since it's one of my favorite songs.
Then I looked at the translation of the lyrics and thought of Mr. Sandman, though it is very different from Milkman.

Riffing on the lyrics rather than the score (mostly), Liza Jane sends me to Charlotte Town, in the case of the particular track, by Judy Hensley.
(I was trying to to pick out an appropriate Tuvan Igil track to answer Sunshine Dog. But, I'll avoid unnecessary bifurcation. This is a fun game! And I'm discovering many interesting artists.)

majick, I realize I'd forgotten about my dumb game of only responding to free threads with song lyrics three weeks in. (I know, a metatalktail thread isn't quite the same, but whatever.) Sadly, I share surprisingly few music references with people I actually want to spend time talking to, so I'm not sure it would work in real life. And, how much Camille and Regina Spektor can one quote without boring everyone else here to death? Cheers! (I'll pass on the last music riff. But, am looking forward to seeing where it leads.)
