big in china
Glancing at awstats* for my site, I noticed two seemingly unrelated facts:
However, under an entry about Theatre of Hate, it links to Satellite (our song). Witness a classic case of mistaken [song] identity.
I listened to samples and see how our song was percieved as similar. Retribution Over the West World (the source of the album cover) seemed a good bet. Both have uptempo spare arrangements with guitars in minor keys. Ours has more electronics. Perhaps similar enough to come up together in a music similarity query.
If you put the chinese description in babelfish (my grasp of this language is still far gone) it says this:
Also is one of early song special movement orchestras, left two things to dismiss, initiated reorganizes Spear of Destiny, this orchestra but actually clash maintained, last year also left a new thing.
In other vanity band news: we have some CDs and an awesome Ziggy Stardust cover for hypothetical Athens summer show. (Tying this back to post-punk, it appears Bauhaus made a hit single cover of same song).
* With Luke's help, I recently installed awstats on my domain ravelite.org (inspired by this post). Stats packages like awstats take the mountain of straw (webserver log files) and spin it into information nuggets: how many hits your site has, what times of day people access it, search terms or links people use to get there, most popular pages, etc.
- The second most popular document is Satellite.mp3. This is an uptempo, layered, minor key song with sci-fi themes, and rock and electronic instrumentation from my band, the Men of Science. However, it's much more popular than other posted songs on the site.
- Last month, two of the top referrers (links that bring hits to your site) were a Chinese mp3-blog (http://www.oioj.net/blog/new1/Playdead/archives/2006/278791.shtml) and a message board that reposts the content (http://bbs.musicool.cn/thread-23008-1-1.html).
