Yes, music does move me very much, I agree with that. What I don't agree with is that Nirvana is a depressing band in general. Sure, it has some depressing songs, but most bands do. Music is about feelings, and no one feels depressed all the time, just like no one is "upbeat" all the time. Music is a way of expression. I can name quite a few songs by Nirvana that are happy.

Kurt

perhaps not sad...

i'm no nirvana expert, but i don't know a single upbeat nirvana song, i think that when music is described by nirvana like, it means depressing, or sad or mad or the like.

jeff i got just one thing to say to show how youre wrong...youre wong

: I agree that music do effect how you are feeling. Basically any upbeat songs will get people happier and more spirited. Songs that songs more depressing and slower songs usually get people depressed. Can someone please tell me that they are not effected by music?? I doubt anyone is not effected by music.

First, It's called "No Woman, No Cry" by Bob Marley which is a sad song that makes me cry (I know that that's just my oppinion, but it was written as a sad song). Second, just like all Reel Big Fish songs arn't about makin fun of trendies, not all Nirvana songs are sad. In fact, most of them arn't

: You can't tell me that music doesn't move you like
: that. there are songs that when you hear them, they
: just get you movin, like the rocky song, or the "we
: will we will rock you" one, and various others. there
: are also songs that make you happy, like bob marley's
: "everthing is going to be alright", and songs that
: depress you, like nirvana's songs. I think everyone

: different from person to person, a large percentage of

: depress.

: I'm not saying that i'm gonna hear the song and break
: down and start crying, though i know people are moved
: to tears by some songs, but i think it will still bring
: the atmospher down to an at least not-as-happy

: P.S. The songs given for examples are which ones work

First, it's call "three little birds". "every little thing is gonna be all right" is one of the lines, and alot of peole know it as "everything is gonna be alright". and though there may be some none sad songs in nirvana's portolio, but they are the exception, not the rule. and the ones that ren't sad are more often than not mador some other time of not uplifting emotion.

Coldplay is a great band and if you like Nena you should listen to the Venga Boys. It's really a group of girls with awesome techno beats. Download the mp3 Boom Boom Boom Boom and you'll see what I mean. If you guys could pull off sound like that you would be gods and I would bow to you on stage. Some other good German music is Falco, but that takes a certain type of person to enjoy, it's an aquired taste, so to speak.

we need a name
remember last year when we were all kicking around ideas to name youre band? maybe we should revive some of the names we tossed out...bic pentameter, free beer, etc.
or maybe we could open the question up to everyone on cd here...any ideas for a name?

: On the plane back from Florida, I was talking to some fellow team members and realized that we had all of the ingrediants to start a band (except for pretty faces). With Casey on drums, Mike O'Leary on bass, Ryan Joyce on guitar and myself on guitar/vocals/kazoo/powertrip, we could put a band together for Florida by next year. What I want to know is if anyone would be interested in a performance in Florida and if so, suggestions on making it work (getting equipment down there, using a P.A., getting permission etc.). I would be willing to get things together and post mp3's on the website if people would be interested.

band name
