What's it about: Eric is a 14 year old demonologist who gets more than he bargained for and is plunged head first into the often hairy realities of an epic adventure.
Together with his unwilling travel buddy, a long suffering wizard, Eric encounters wild tribes, trojan horses and a single minded but vicious piece of furniture.
Shorter than the average Discworld book, this could be the ideal starting point to set off on your own adventure into the wonderful mind of Terry Pratchett.
For fans of: Satire; both social and otherwise, literary in jokes, fantasy, christopher moore, douglas adams
***disclaimer: I have no clue as to what this genre is, or even if these songs belong to the same genre. All I know is, they are played in nightclubs/on the radio. I'm a complete genre fggt for music I know. Feel free to suggest what this music is/similar songs, thaaanks***
I've noticed lately that most of the songs I like on the radio or in the clizzub follow the same kind of song structure. Basically a simple hip hop/dance beat + rap verse + hook = WIN!
The formula can change slightly as seen in Breaking my Fall by Bressie, which I posted here a while ago, and it has since plagued the radio waves and wrecked heads across Ireland. But I digress.
Here's a song by example that illustrates my point.
The riff could srsly be used in metalcore
00.52 Is that a FILTHY DROP?
Dem lyrics. As bad/good as Chilli Peppers for just throwing in words that sound good.
Needs to be covered by a pop punk band. Needs a pop punk jump at 2.20.
Lol at them trying to come across as srs artists with the black and white vid/crowd/band footage. Y u no make fun alcohol video in tha club?
Next up is Hangover by Taoi Cruz and ft Flo Rida. Don't know who Taoi Cruz is but ft Flo Rida is in a lot of songs I dig.
Follows the intro riff and chorus sung over it formula.
Ok, I'll get it out there now. It's obv but Taoi if u hungover, y u singing so well? y u no croakily asking shop assistants for sausage rolls and energy drinks/ordering takeaway food?
00.37 *gap* *snare hit* *riff* EVERY song should have a part like this. For the pop punk jumps.
The pop industry is really scraping the barrell 4 lyrics. Ehh.. so there's a popular song about looking forward to a good night..a song about partying at present..a song about not wanting the party to be over..wat do? A song about the morning after. BOOM.
Dat chorus doe. Damn.
It sounds good I guess but I have NO IDEA what ft Flo Rida is on about. Champagne was in there?
Rhyming 'Woah' with 'Sure' via 'Sho' = never not cool.
B.O.B. ft Rivers Cuomo - Magic
Slightly different but at the same time - chorus at the start, then verse, repeat.
Dat Bob guy got flow, afaik.
Mega lol at Rivers acting gangsta, esp. dropping the 'r' in 'floor'. Sure he probably gets the girls but I doubt he hits the flo and I doubt any snapping occurs.
And srsly, what is he wearing. Did he think rappers still rep adidas?
So I think what I'm saying is - generic, formulaic pop music is great as long as it's the recipe that I like?
