Syncopation is a musical term meaning a variety of rhythms played together to make a piece of music, making part or all of a tune or piece of music off-beat. More simply, syncopation is "a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm": a "placement of rhythmic stresses or accents where they wouldn't normally occur". It is the correlation of at least two sets of time intervals.

New term for me, to be real; reading above, is syncopation essentially synonymous with work in fugue?

I don’t know Val. It’s new for me too. That’s why I looked it up on wiki. Hopefully @Violent Violin or someone familiar with music theory can explain it further.

13 songs that introduced you to a band you now love. Add a brief story about said introduction

1. Enter Sandman by Metallica. This was the first ever song I heard from them. I found myself wanting to hear more from this band so I googled "best Metallica songs." I was then directed to a Usenet thread from the 90's where all the old heads were shitting on the "poseurs" who mentioned any tracks from the Black Album, Load and Reload. Typical responses from the old school guys were something like "For Whom the Bell Tolls" or "Master of Puppets," and surprise, surprise, I didn't find them appealing compared to the commercial-sounding, radio friendly hits like Fuel and Of Wolf and Man. Anyway, I grew a pair and stopped being a poseur and now I can't listen to anything that comes after And Justice For All.

Lars is a twat.

Hey Purple, sorry been out of town for a few days. Syncopation is when the notes come in on the off beat and give it extra oompf. Like Chameleon by Herbie Hancock or just about anything by Bootsy Collins.

Especially in the bridge:







Hope that helped! Didn't mean to be too esoteric there...

2. Turn it On Again - Genesis. I pulled into a parking lot and it started playing on a classic rock station. I'd heard all the typical Genesis stuff from the 80s and they were just another 80s band to me. When I heard that first section of Turn it On again in 13/4 time, I was hooked. I had to look into them more. I now listen to all of their 70s catalog religiously. The 80s stuff is the 80s stuff, and Turn it On Again introduced me to one of my favorite albums "...And Then There Were Three..."

3. Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood. As a fan of Blur and artist Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl) I was excited when Mojo magazine mentioned Damon Albarn & Hewlett formed a virtual band called Gorillaz. Found their first video, Clint Eastwood, which is a great name for a song. The band exceeded my expectations. Just a good vibe. I have a funko pop toy of Gorillaz drummer Russel Hobbs. It's currently wearing cheap plastic Mardi Gras necklaces.

4. Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song. During the summer my friend Dennis would drain out his pool so we could skate it. In the Summer of 1989 our mutual friend Eddie brought a bunch of cassette tapes that belonged to his sister to listen to while we were skating. One of them was Jane's, only I didn't know that was their name at the time, because it was a recorded tape. I immediately fell in love with Mountain Song, so I started calling them the "Coming Down the Mountain Band". It was about a week or two later when I was talking with Eddies sister that I finally learned what the name of the band was. I still love the first two studio albums by them so I'm a fan of that era of the band. The next two are awful and I pretty much hate Perry and his no talent wife that he forces on everyone these days.

I was impressed by the big sound they were able to get with just the 2 of them, I was intrigued by the lyrics, and I was interested in their overall aesthetic.

Cranked this in my car the other day and some old lady was watching me sing every word. Felt like Michael Bolton in office space

One of my favorite albums of all time is "Shed" by Title Fight. I was looking for tabs to their songs, but since they are not well-known, it seemed easier to look up YouTube covers and take it from there. I stumbled upon this medley of their songs performed by Tigers Jaw, and now Tigers Jaw is one of my new favorite bands.
