Beginner piano question?
3 AnswersClassical5 years agoMy custom built computer won't boot?
Hi my compouter that I built a year ago won't boot up. It turns on but the fans and led lights on the case won't start running to signal that it's on and continue to Windows. I've had this problem before but after a day it starts working (sometimes even when I lightly smack the computer tower case). But now it's not working today. I opened up the case and replugged all the wires and it still would not boot up, just turn on.
I'm wondering if it's the power supply or some connection problem with the tower case lights/fans trying to connect to the motherboard and/or power supply? It's a Cosair 750w power supply box.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
2 AnswersDesktops6 years agoWhat songs have a unfitting feel (usually the end) that differs from the rest of the song?
Usually songs have the same ongoing mood/feel throughout the whole song, but have you ever heard a song change the whole mood to something different. Sometimes I find it good or bad.
Examples:
Led Zeppelin- The Ocean
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqgyD_yTWCU
Arcade Fire- Wake Up
12 AnswersRock and Pop8 years agoWhat are your favorite songs with a reverb (echoes) effect?
The reverbaration effect can be used in both instruments, vocals or both. It's pretty much an echo. It's a really cool effect, and a lot of times makes the song sound better, because some bands sometimes use it in the studio in particular songs, but not live.
"White Rune" by Iceage makes it sound really cool

6 AnswersRock and Pop8 years agoWhat are some songs you initially ignored on an album and later listened to it..?
only to find out was a great song?
Sometimes when I listen to an albums, particular songs that would catch my eye, I'd replay, but I'd leave the other songs, then day, or even months later I randomly listen to the ignored songs, and realize how stupid I was leaving those tracks unlistened for so long.

8 AnswersRock and Pop8 years agoWhat's your favorite band that creates an "atmosphere" of music?
By atmosphere, I mean where all the band members create this one distinct sound and mood of music. Usually when all the instruments/vocals sit equally, there is not a notable piece, everything works equally.
Like Joy Division

Interpol, Ride, Slowdive, The Chameleons, and My Bloody Valentine
BQ: What's new?

2 AnswersRock and Pop8 years agoWhat's your favorite dark/creepy lyrics?
For me
Sufjan Stevens- John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otx49Ko3fxw
"In a dark room on the bed, he kissed them all..He'd kill ten thousand people
With a sleight of his hand, running far, running fast to the dead
He took off all their clothes for them, he put a cloth on their lips ,quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth and in my best behavior, I am really just like him
Look beneath the floor boards for the secrets I have hid"
Radiohead- Street Spirit (Fade Out)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrTB-iiecqk
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me..I can feel their blue hands touching me. All these things into position, All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out..This machine will, will not communicate, these thoughts and the strain I am under..Be a world child, form a circle, before we all go under..
And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds, Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes, all these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again
Interpol- Obstacle 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkBAUqp6NKg
"I wish i could eat the salt off your last faded lips. We can cap the old times make playing only logical harm! We can top the old lines clay-making that nothing else will change.
But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad, oh, she's bad
It's different now that I'm poor and aging, I'll never see this face again, you go stabbing yourself in the neck!"
The Smiths- Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkBAUqp6NKg
"I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job and heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life, why do I give valuable time, to people who don't care if I live or die?"
Manic Street Preachers- 4st 7lb
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy2ebaAGMU0
"Stomach collapsed at five, lift up my skirt my sex is gone. Naked and lovely and 5st. 2
may I bud and never flower. My visions getting blurred, but I can see my ribs and I feel fine
My hands are trembling stalks and I can feel my breasts are sinking
Mother trys to choke me with roast beef and sits savouring her sole ryvitta
That's the way you're built my father said, but I can change, my cocoon shedding"

5 AnswersRock and Pop8 years agoWhat songs reminds you of your high school years?
Any songs that remind you of the old days (unless you are still in high school like I am). It could be songs that you listened to contentiously in high school or just songs that you love.
I used to be a lot into ska punk and punk (which I'm still into, but not as much) so these remind me of my early high school years around freshmen and sophomore year, when I didn't really care about anything because I hated high school and still do.
