 Post subject: That missing glow in the music of today.Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2009 8:32 am 
Haven't you ever felt as if in your music life there was this little thing missing?Spending such a long time looking for the perfect song that would bring the glow of music back. When the music that is "in" seems to satisfy the world and it doesn't satisfy you, you suddenly remember a good song you used to listen to all the time. You go to a music listening website searching for other music thats almost as good or even better to the one you used to like. And you were right.There you find the best music.You start downloading those songs or buying albums.Then you put all that good music in your ipod or mp3.And then, suddenly, out of nowhere,youre ipod dissapears and your computers erases all the great music you used to have saved. You buy yourself a new mp3 or ipod and you spent months,maybe years looking for all that great music you used to listened to.And then,while looking for the music you used to have. you find a video in youtube named "51 things i found in my room".While youre looking at this extremely random video you notice the song in the background of the video.You love it.And so you look for the artist of this song and ,BOOM!! You're in the awesome world os EISLEY. That spark you were looking for has been found.Eisley changes the way you look at music.True story.Mine. |

It's great to find a band that really has "it," and gets you thrilled about music again. I'm glad you've found it in Eisley!  They definitely were a jolt for me, and still are. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Uhm... I will be the tactless person and just point out that your message is lovely, but doesn't this belong in your very own thread about when and where you first heard Eisley??? 
Not saying it has to go their, just lettin' you know, you made a perfect place for this post over there, and then up and put it over here, away from all us less poetic losers who just heard em' on launch, or cable or somethin'. We're not worthy?  _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

"jumpy." well, that just goes to show what you intend and what you project are never quite gonna come out how you expect. Oh well, I'm off to alienate others now that I've awoken from a new creepy radiohead song induced nap at the totally wrong part of the day. _________________ yup, that's my name.

This bunch on the board is pretty witty and can be pretty curt at times, and I've drunk the Kool-Aid. Just figured I'd say something, knowing I was not taking myself serious, and not lash out if someone called me a prick, than someone else make the point, and then take offense to being called a prick. As far as your discovery, it's a cool anecdote, and if this was a Board about David Garza, Splendor, Dovetail Joint, Sarah Harmer, or Sunny Day Real Estate I'd have a really cool story to tell about how I found the music too, but it's not On the upside, at least (I'm assuming here) your story doesn't also force you to recall an old flame that burned you... Consider that a major plus! _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

Well, it has nothing to do witht he music of 'today' really...frankly that inda insults me. It has more to do with what the music industry has become; about the money. But that's only bands that are used of that perpose...most bands and singers aren't it's just that most of what you'll hear is that music that is advertised and spread throughout. I've always had a wierd feeling about listening to music that's like that. It always makes me feel liek it's not art like the singers are just performers and don't write the music...it's just the image. And I'm someone who sees something beautiful in what music and words are supposed ot be...art and something that gives off emotions and messages from the lyrics and the music. But it really kinda pisses me off when people says 'these days' or 'now'a'days'...kinda biased...you just have to look deeper for the people that are true artists because you're most likely not gonna see a TV commercial advertising their next concert or whatever or hear them on the radio. And some of the deepest and most beautiful lyrics and music I've heard have been modern; some of the most unique stuff i have heard is modern...that's another thing I value: uniqueness. OK that was my rambling...if I don't do that I'll think about it forever...yes i do have mental problems lol Anyways...I have posted this before, but before I started listening to Eisley I was trying to get into rock and goth/emo fashion because that's what's considered cool. I had always been more attracted to classic rock, soft rock, and alternative, but I wanted to change who I was to be cooler. I heard EIsley randomly while waking through the living room and watching the music video my sister had put on from AOL on demand. I know Eisley is not underground at all and has a pretty big fan base, but I started getting into more indie music and started building an appreaciation for bands you don't really hear on the radio and bands most of the people you will meet have never heard of. It's kinda likea bias I suppose. But through EIsley I think I just started getting into music that i actually liked even music that wasn't indie or rock or alternatrive. _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!
