Strange request, I'm sure. . .

[The Poona of Peshwa]

I'm an aspiring journalist, and I'm putting together a radio newscast at school. What do you think would be a good soundclip from a song to use to kick off a newscast? I considered Nile but my teammates didn't share my enthusiasm. Seriously though, suggestions?

 

[Braighs]

news of what subjects?

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

You know, current events, politics, economics etc. I wouldn't mind having a good tune rather than the standard elevator music.

place to be - nick drake
maritime, the beginning and the end - isis

itd be cooler if you chose a heap and alternated. you could choose which stuff according to the stuff you were broadcasting. for example, if you were discussing a school killing you could use something like vast - flames whereas if you were discussing economics and the dollar and shit you could use that money money money song by abba or something.

yeah some nick drake or van morrisson

 

[biggsy]

some nick drake will sound pretty hippy i think. like the hazey janes or introduction. the pink moon stuff would be good.

Wow, that is a suitably epic video. Never seen it before.

Some Akira Yamaoka from the Silent Hill 3 soundtrack.

 

[i aint play this]

play Death - Spirit Crusher in all parts imho

 

[all_sins_undone]

why would you play Nile for a show about somewhat intelligent topics? sigh

That little quip was a pre-emptive strike at those who would inevitably suggest similar bludgeoning music.

 

[hibernal_dream]

If you're an aspiring journalist, using any metal would probably be a bad career move.
May I suggest Justin Timberlake instead?

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

Noted.

 

[biggsy]

write some of your own stuff.

how about... no bludgeoning music? a radio newscast discussing current events, politics, economics does not usually open with clip by Nile. is this news to you or smth

 

[Braighs]

that's a preemtive strike as in "we destroyed your nuclear facilities with our nuke and you can't retaliate sorta kinda"

Camel - Song within a Song

The pre-emptive strike was in asking a board of primarily metal fans for musical suggestions. Nobody would ever use metal in a newscast ffs, I wouldn't want to if they let me.

The intro to track 5, off Gojira's, From Mars to Sirius. Catchy, but heavy.
