Conspiracies: Bands
I'm a total conspiracy theorist today. What do you really know about most of the mainstream bands of today? Could they be sending subliminal messages to us? Think about the movie Zoolander and how male models have been top secret killing machines for decades. Is it really that crazy of an idea?
Just look at some of the things that have been put into albums. What about when you put Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon up against the movie The Wizard of Oz? Ever tried it? It's uncanny. Alan Parsons produced the Dark Side of the Moon, which is the ONLY album to ever have been "perfectly" produced. Not a single production error can be found on it. If you queue it at the correct moment it acts as a soundtrack for a large portion of the Wizard of Oz.
What about The Matrix and The Prodigy's song called Smack My B*tch Up? This one is ridiculous. When Neo and Trinity shoot up the first floor, blow it up, fly up the elevator shaft, and dodge bullets on the roof in an attempt at rescuing Morpheus it can be very precisely matched up with The Prodigy's song. I wonder who timed it to whom in that case?
AFI has a huge conspiracy around their "Sing the Sorrow" album. Not long beforehand they released an LP called "336". Why? They said it would make sense when "Sing the Sorrow" came out. All of the posters and advertisement had rabbits. The band came out with a short film. Various leads led to fans checking into number theory, chinese astrology, and numerology. Various 777, 333, and 666 type of things... Anyway, Sing the Sorrow came directly after 336, making it 337. Further research showed that AFI's lead singer was born in the year of the rabbit. Rabbits, according to that reincarnation theory, are not able to reincarnate. The front of the album has falling leaves (death, returning to dirt), and the back has water (new life). Anyway, The album begins and ends with a looping sound that is identical when reversed and which loops from the end of the album back to the beginning. Also, the track "Leaving Song Pt. 2" comes before "Leaving Song Pt. 1". Many theories state that the album is supposed to start in the middle and actually loop through then end at "Leaving Song Pt. 2". Finally, 336 is interpreted to mean death while 337 is interpreted to mean reincarnation. Plus, throughout the album is various spanish and latin that gets translated into similar thoughts. AFI is seriously crazy!
This then leads me to question other bands. What about Green Day? I know they are very popular this year, but they have one of the most politically charged albums to hit the mainstream in quite a while. It seems that an older fad sometimes called "Rock Opera" of putting a whole theme/story into an album a la "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is returning. The old days of playing tracks backwards for secret messages and such is on the rise once again!

Wasn't Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album also done to a movie, aptly named "The Wall"?
It's no surprise that we're seeing story lines tied to entire albums with scores of bands releasing DVDs and whatnot.

That's the song in the mix Jason played the first time we made out.
