Spike Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Ok, I dunno what the fuck is up with me. Here are my usual music tastes: Progressive metalish style stuff: Tool Opeth Spiral Architect Novembre Gordian Knot Aghora Hardcorish stuff Hopesfall Inside Out Poison The Well Stuff that's still heavy, but a bit more melodic A Perfect Circle Thursday The Gathering US and UK Hip hop [all sorts of stuff here, mainly underground with some exceptions] And then Bic Runga I first heard the song "Sway" played at some house party I was at, and due to a cocktail of cocktails and various other substances (e.g. breadcrumbs), it got me the closest to crying I have been in years. So I went and downloaded the album, and I just find it beautiful. I know nothing about Bic Runga, whether it's the name of the band or the singer, where they're from etc, just that I really like the girl's voice and the songs. And it goes against EVERYTHING else that I listen to. It's not heavy, it isn't bouncing... it's... almost... pop. And that just confuses me like hell. It's the only remotely pop thing I can tolerate, and I don't just tolerate it, I love it. Anyone else suffer from these random music tastes, or have anything to say about Bic Runga?

Abracadabra Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 isn't bic runga that chick from new zealand with fucked up teeth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 Well, I finally bothered to type Bic Runga into google. Would seem Bic Runga is name of the girl, and not the band. Couldn't find any pictures of her smiling, so can't comment on the teeth. http://www.graman.net/bic/phbic010.jpg'> To be honest, I couldn't give a fuck what she looks like, I just like the music. It taps straight into my emotional baggage area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 The title of the song 'sway' comes from a peice of graffiti she saw in Auckland, New Zealand. Bet you didnt know that huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
