The G4S Corporate Theme Song....

Yeah it's as bad you think...
I've said to others that if you want to hear what mainstream rock sounded like 20 years ago, listen to country radio today. Jon Bon Jovi knew exactly what he was doing.

For rock and pop stars, including Staind?s Aaron Lewis, country isn?t an easy genre to crack (http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/for-rock-and-pop-stars-including-stainds-aaron-lewis-country-isnt-an-easy-genre-to-crack/2012/07/19/gJQAlkxPwW_story.html)
Because Darius Rucker already beat them there? And isn't Bon Jovi's current stuff sounding more and more Country Rock these days, so is that because Country Rock caught up with them?

what do think is driving all this monster boxset and deluxe releases at this point. i'm sure that bands that still have even a small but very loyal fanbase, know they are doing already well enought to cough up premium dollars for a well put together re-release. also, look at the success of some of those kickstarter campaigns where even the premiums in the hundreds of dollars are snapped up.
Just found the most awesome website ever...
I don't know why they don't just rename "All Things Music" to "All Things Indie Rock" and be done with it.

Rewind! The Cassette is Back. (http://blog.bandcamp.com/2013/05/07/rewind-the-cassette-is-back/)
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry released their report of 2 million cassette tapes sold worldwide? Sales in the UK alone tripled last year.
I love Boston's first and like their second. The funny thing about Boston's first is that it was more indie than most well-known indie bands. Most of it was played by Tom Scholz himself and recorded on 12-track in his own basement and on his own dime. It wasn't "corporate" rock; the sound he invented was copied by everyone else and that became corporate rock.
Journey is actually older than Boston and started as a jazz-rock spinoff of Santana. They went nowhere, so they hired a candyass singer and invented Glee.

pure awesomeness. neither side is right, both CDs and vinyl have their merits and detractions... but the self-delusion and self-importance that vinyl jukies speak with is beyond annoying. it's insulting.
Can anyone explain CHVRCHES? I'm finding it pretty un-listenable too...
The most annoying self-delusion comes from people who think that MP3 files sound good.

MP3 files *do* sound good when listening to music through disposable white earbuds - which is how most music is consumed these days.
i can't find it at the moment, but there is an awesome image that made the rounds a while ago who's message was: $3,000 guitar --> $5,000 microphone --> $8,000 preamp --> $50,000 signal chain --> $1.5M mixing desk --> 99 cent earphones.

and if you think it sucks to hear how vinyl sounds better how much do you think it sucked for over a decade to hear people asking "ummm.. why would you possibly buy records??"
I just couldn't get people to understand that records, you know, tended to sound better than CDs...forget about MP3s which are the biggest con yet... yeah bigger than getting everyone to throw away their records and buy CDs cause they "sounded better"...some of those early CD issues sound atrocious because they hardly spent a second on mastering them.. so eager was the industry to get the product to the racks so that the chumps would buy their 15.99$ reissues..
lucky for me i had some time to stock up on vinyl....
but , yeah, listen to vinyl like Miles Davis and tell me the CD sounds better.. no fuckin way.
no fuckin' way the cd sounds anywhere close to as good as the original six eye....

I guess I wasn't clear. Some labels offer downloads of their vinyl releases only in MP3 or iTunes, both of which are lossy formats that are inferior to CD. If they really cared about sound and not just looking cool, they would offer downloads in lossless formats, e.g. WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, BWF. Even better, they would offer downloads in higher digital resolutions than CD.
Wow. Simply wow.

Obviously this isn't the first time an offspring has taken over for a parent in a band but this would be good show to see... I had no idea about the BRMC/The Call connection until after Micheal Been had passed away, he served as the bands soundman for several years.
*****
It gives us great pleasure to announce to you all that the seminal rock group 'The Call' will be reuniting with B.R.M.C.'.s Robert Been for two select shows!!!
Disbanded in 1990 The Call's original members Scott Musick, Tom Ferrier, and Jim Goodwin will be taking the stage with Robert Been, taking over the role of bass and vocals in honor of his father, the late Michael Been - twenty years since their last live show!
But now for the really exciting news - Tickets go on sale on Friday March 1st from www.the-call-band.com
April 18th: San Francisco, CA / Slim's
April 19th: Los Angeles, CA / The Troubadour
But ? Is the ?low sound quality of digital a turnoff??
There are two possible answers to this: A ) ?Yes, if by ?turnoff?, you mean ?people are listening to more music than ever before.? (They?re just not paying for it)? or B ) ?Yes, but only because our perception is dead wrong.?
Here?s the reality: Modern digital doesn?t have low sound quality. By any objective standard, it?s actually far better in terms of raw sound quality than vinyl is!
We?re not just talking about CDs here. This statement includes any good resolution downloads or streaming files. The problem is that music marketers have effectively been lying to listeners by telling them that modern digital doesn?t sound good. And we?ve got to stop. Now.
Perception affects enjoyment more than anything else. That?s where the failure is. Right now, by any objective standard, we have the best listening formats and equipment ever made, and at prices that are mind-bogglingly low.
In reality, modern digital actually sounds f*ing great. A 320kbps stream from Spotify, eMusic or MOG sounds indistinguishable from a CD when heard by the ear. This has been confirmed in countless blind tests. Meanwhile, within the spectrum of human hearing, a CD is unquestionably closer to the original master than vinyl is. We can prove that with measurements and we can prove it with listening tests. There is no doubt. Zero.
In terms of raw sound quality, what?s available today is provably higher-fidelity than vinyl, cassette, 8-track, reel-to-reel, wax cylinder, AM/FM radio, and just about any other consumer format ever invented. But we?re failing to tell that story.
At this point, we don?t need to convince the engineers to design better digital. They?ve already done their jobs. The technology is there. Now we?ve gotta do our jobs and convince people to start paying for it again!
Unfortunately, my friend went on to write:
?I?m embarrassed to admit that it has been years since I heard vinyl. That all changed 2 nights ago when I was at a friends house. I was sitting there and noticed the warmth, the sonic space, the timbre of the instruments. It was?sumptuous, sensual, dare I say, intoxicating.?
I believe my friend. Wouldn?t doubt him for a second. But here?s the thing: What really happened was that he sat down and listened to an amazing-sounding recording on a friends? stereo? Which was far better than his own. Of course you?re going to notice new things!
Yes: Great speakers sounds amazing. Hanging out with friends, listening to albums and feeding off of each others? enthusiasm is awesome. No question. These things can make a huge difference in perceived audio quality. Vinyl on the other hand? Not so much.
Don?t get me wrong ? Vinyl can be great. People actually can hear a difference under blind listening conditions. There can even be something so subtly familiar, ?so soft around the edges? about the medium. It?s just that with good vinyl, those differences are not that dramatic at all. And, when we prefer it, it?s because we like the measurably less pristine sound of the format.
It may be counter-intuitive to some vinyl promoters, but pretending that digital can?t sound as good or better than vinyl is a major part of the problem facing musicians today. Not only is it untrue, but it reinforces the backwards notion that today?s recordings just aren?t worth paying for. When we lie to kids and tell them digital is lousy, we?re effectively saying ?that sucks, you don?t have to pay for that garbage.? While in fact, ?that garbage? is among the best we?ve ever had.
The problem of musicians? income in the 21st century is not going to be solved by singing the praises of vinyl. It is going to be solved by developing great streaming services and making sure they pay fair rates. It?s going to be solved by reasonable and effective crackdowns on piracy. And it?s going to be solved by information campaigns that tell people the truth, inspiring them to put value back into the music that is already right there at their fingertips.
That is all that can save musicians. There is no way that vinyl can do it alone.
So spread the truth: If you want sound quality, we?ve got better sound quality today than ever before. If you want convenience and access, that?s here too. If you want low prices, my God are they low. Perhaps too low. If you want physicality and ritual, you can get that too. Buy your CDs, buy your vinyl. As long as you?re buying, those things are not going to go away.
Nice article. I do like a lot of things about vinyl, but I have always thought the 'outstanding sound difference' argument to be a little weak and hipsteresque
In terms of raw sound quality, what?s available today is provably higher-fidelity than vinyl, cassette, 8-track, reel-to-reel, wax cylinder, AM/FM radio, and just about any other consumer format ever invented. But we?re failing to tell that story.
as long as there are things to argue about, there will be arguments.
I'd much rather listen to a pristine digital file.
Would you prefer a VHS tape to a DVD? A cassette tape to a CD?
People like to inject subjective experiences into the objective vinyl vs digital debate (ie memories of youth and the "ritual" of listening to vinyl).
if you prefer it, good. But it doesnt mean it is better.

I dont just download mp3s for free, i imagine you are making a general statement and hopefully not directing it at me!
I spend LOTS of money on the music industry per year. Digital, Vinyl, tapes, CDs, concerts, posters, and T Shirts.
This whole argument about what form of media is better is weak though. It all goes in circles anyway. Two forms of media people will not go back to are the following: for anything visual, laser discs, and for anything based on audio, 8-tracks. LOL. Everything else goes in cycles. People hate CDs but yet love tapes and vinyl all of a sudden again. Digital media is great until you don't back it up and lose it if your computer ever goes down. I really don't know to many people even into Blu-rays like that or even like DVDs too much anymore since its all about what you can stream/download online mostly. It all comes down to what you're really comfortable with having in your collection in whichever form you prefer.

Apparently only young people go to shows and tapes are a "hilarious gag" now.
There are a few Pitchfork contributors who I think are pretty reliably good/always worth reading whether or not you agree with them and know how to write a well-crafted review. Ned Raggett, Marc Masters, Lindsay Zoladz, Laura Snapes and Liz/Jenn Pelly come to mind. This Body/Head review published today, for example. (http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18471-bodyhead-coming-apart/) The scoring system is bullshit, though. It is not the individual reviewer who scores an album; scores are supposedly an average made up of the ratings given by a bunch of contributors. The scoring system should be done away with altogether and let the reviews speak for themselves.
Too long winded.
I think that's always been my problem with pitchfork reviews.
But, I've never tried to review anything other than "good" "not good" "terrible", so what do I know?

"Isn't Mercury a phone company or something, anyway? What's that got to do with music?" Shields said in an exclusive interview. "We're banned by them, and do you know why? Because we're not on Amazon or iTunes. That's one of the qualifying criteria. You have to have major distribution or be on iTunes or Amazon."
Shields may be correct. According to the terms and conditions on the Mercury website, qualifying albums will have "a digital and physical distribution deal in place in the UK". My Bloody Valentine, who self-released their album, only sold the digital version of mbv through their own website. This may not be considered a "digital distribution deal".
"We released our record, mbv, independently," Shields said. My Bloody Valentine didn't even rely on an indie label such as Domino or Alcopop! Records. "It's interesting to learn that to be as independent as we are is ? virtually illegal," he said. "It's not a real record. Our album's not a real album because it's independent. The corporate-ness has got to such a point where we've essentially been told that we don't exist. So, technically, that album doesn't exist. OK? It's not allowed to exist according to the Mercury prize."

Nope. They were and are perfect. Their music is a soulful gift to thousands (possibly millions) of people who think they were one of the most dramatic and flawless examples of modern music is. And I'm grateful that they never had the chance to be overplayed and commercialized the way New Order was. I love New Order too for completely different reasons, but ultimately Joy Division will always trump New Order. And if you don't understand why "Transmission", "Shadowplay", "Atmosphere" and "Dead Souls" are some of the greatest pieces of recorded music, then I suggest you revisit them with open ears. Maybe you'll change your mind.

Nope. They were and are perfect. Their music is a soulful gift to thousands (possibly millions) of people who think they were one of the most dramatic and flawless examples of modern music is. And I'm grateful that they never had the chance to be overplayed and commercialized the way New Order was. I love New Order too for completely different reasons, but ultimately Joy Division will always trump New Order. And if you don't understand why "Transmission", "Shadowplay", "Atmosphere" and "Dead Souls" are some of the greatest pieces of recorded music, then I suggest you revisit them with open ears.

This is the best thing to come out of the government shutdown so far.

http://blip.tv/indieacrossamerica/episode-2-sharkweek-and-baltimore-6648715after watching the first 30 seconds of this moronic piece of crap the whole dc/balt thing is the last thing i take exception too.
Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit.
The hell is wrong with Blip.TV? DO some research! If you are doing a segment on BALTIMORE bands and the city's scene, DO NOT feature a DC band. http://sharkweekdc.bandcamp.com/
Is there any doubt that Shark Week are a DC band? NO. I dont know why they agreed to this. Playing three shows in a city in a year does NOT MEAN THE BAND IS SPLITTING TIME between DC and Baltimore. You are a DC band Shark Week, you should be on the DC episode of this.
I actually like Shark Week, but no. Were the 500 good BALTIMORE bands busy? Did the producers get lazy? The hell is the point of this?
Sorry but this is just annoying. I love Baltimore's scene (as I am sure most of you who pay attention to what I post know) and this is not about a Baltimore band. I will give them credit for the way they DESCRIBE the Baltimore, DIY scene. But no.
END RANT
?Here?s the thing, I looked into Baltimore and I couldn?t find out a whole lot about its music scene,? Holmes says, as if his first name were Sherlock. He evidently did not look to our own Big Baltimore Playlist or talk to any of the many local labels. And he acts as if he has never even heard that Rolling Stone named Baltimore the best music scene in the country in 2008, pretending that bands like Beach House, Wye Oak, and Dan Deacon don?t exist.
But, have no fear because Holmes promises that ?We?re going to give this place an identity. We?re putting Baltimore on the map.?
I just noticed this for the Pixies' Strathmore gig:Kinda makes it impossible to follow a tour across the country (not that my old ass can do that anymore) Or catch a show when you know you'll be in that particular town that weekend
"The Music Center at Strathmore is located in North Bethesda, MD. Sales to this event will be restricted to residents of NJ, PA, DE, VA, DC,WVA & NC. Residency will be based on credit card billing address. Orders by residents outside NJ, PA, DE, VA, DC,WVA & NC will be canceled without notice and refunds given. DOORS OPEN AT 7PM. Delivery delay set and will be lifted 11/10/13."
Seriously?? I think this is absolutely unfair. Who decides this? Ticketmaster?

Well I kinda thought Greg Ginn was being a d!ck and glad he lost the suit
the boys of FLAG put on a hell of a show and think it's a crime to not let the guys who were a part of that not continue to play that music to crowds who are just dying to see it

I don't know where else to put this. Cutest cat ever interviewing Steve Albini.
Anyone into guitar pedals and signal chains?
Should I move my Tremolo after the distortion? Move the two delays to the end? Bring phaser up? I am in the middle of experimenting... but would gladly take suggestions!
Any recommendations on where to start in the Goblin discography? Looks like i need to play a little catch on their 35+ year career. I had seen the name mentioned, but looked them up when Calibro 35 were compared to them. And they seem right up my alley...
i don't know where else to put this but

The comedy is that you like Motorhead. They have one song that is even mediocre in quality ("Ace of Spades"). Are you trying to tell me you think their music is better than Rodgers and Hammerstein? No one could have that bad taste, could they?
1.) Have more people gotten high listening to musicals? Or Motorhead?(http://dramyjohnson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/idk.jpg)
2.) Have more people had a good time listening to muscials? Or Motorhead?
3.) Have more people gotten laid listening to muscials? Or Motothead?
Kanye West is the Frank Zappa of his generation.bull double shit on that
Kanye West is the Frank Zappa of his generation.
And I would also argue that more prevalent than white people trying to justify liking him are white people who shit on his music because he doesn't fit into their myopic version of how a non-uppity negro is supposed to act. You're threatened by his power so you denigrate his art even though you know nothing about it.
Are there any black musicians that you like or do you just hate them all with equal vehemence?

His power is not fading, you only choose to depict as such because of your white racist fear. 'Yeezus' was a major hit, which spawned 'Black Skinhead'. He is playing an overwhelmingly praised tour in arenas, and the cancellations were due to logistics issues, not sales. Among the postponed dates were sold out shows in his hometown of Chicago. But you choose to make up facts to suit your racist ignorant premise. And then you trot out all the traditionally white-loved artists that make up the middle of the road. I'm kind of surprised you didn't say that you actually have black friends and that your father was 1/32 black.

i saw him at the mtv show and he was one row away and he didn't even say hello. i dont get it. you know I hate lou, i really do. he won't even hire us for his videos, and I was so proud of him.
^did you see what Lou Reed wrote, just weeks before he died, about Kanye's last album ?
has to, at the very least, give one pause...

Hutch, you're an adult, right? Did your parents divorce when you were young? I'm totally dumbfounded at why adults worship certain music artists:
"Did you hear what LOU REED said about Kanye West, huh? HUH? LOU REED, THE GREATEST ROCK ARTIST EVER! THE MAN WITH THE MOST INTEGRITY EVER! THE MAN WHO INVENTED ALTERNATIVE MUSIC!?!?!! Did you hear what HE said about Kanye West?"
Who gives a shit? I don't care what Lou Reed thought about anything. Lou Reed was just another musician. Just another song writer. A good one, yes. Innovative, sure.
People like you, hutch, who follow musicians like the disciples followed Jesus and venerate their opinions as gospel just...I don't get you. People do this with Lennon and Dylan and.......
Musicians and the music they produce is fantastic. Music makes life worth living. But to put some artist who when they die they get put on the cover of Rolling Stone on a pedestal is foolish for a society to do. Lou Reed's opinion is not more valid or more intelligent or more introspective than your or my opinion. It really isn't. I suggest you wake up.
Brian
'Yeezus' was a major hit, which spawned 'Black Skinhead'.I'm not getting into this argument in whole but let me just say anecdotally: I listen to pop radio probably more than the average person on here and I have not heard a new Kanye West song on a Top 40 station off the last two records. I could not tell you the chorus to Black Skinhead.
First of all, and I really have to leave this fascinating conversation to take my kid to storytime, like many people on this thread I don't get Kanye West...I may never even bother to listen to his music again...
but I pay attention to the dentist when he has something to say about teeth and, likewise, I listen to the musician when he has something to say about music.. I may not always agree though...but I at least listen because much as I love my teeth I love music....I'm at least interested... If he's one of the finest songwriters of any generation I may listen a bit harder..I don't consider that "worship" but common sense... and if those happen to be Lou Reed's last published words I may pay even a bit more attention because, you know, he contributed a lot to my life....he gave me great joy... I hope that doesn't make me a bad person or a childish one.. I think its called experience.... you know: live and learn..
What I try not to do is pay attention to what a critic with no actual experience making music, or some random internet poster wants to tell me about what music I should listen to...that's a whole different enchilada..

Lou Reed hadn't done anything worth listening since "Transformer". If he knew so much about music why did he suck for 40 years?
Did anyone else grab the new Death Grips when they leaked it the other day?
i am listening right now . . . and im losing my mind. am i on acid? am i on the planet earth?
A bit surprised you guys glossed over this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHo9XHm3tWY)wow, reminded me of Albini's 'you could already be this fu@ked'

Don't let the people think they know you
They don't know
You move around, you say goodbye to them

Keep yourself high
Don't keep yourself low
It's easy to forget what you came here for when you get old
There's always someone there to bring you down again
There's always more to you than there are of them
Hey, hey, you don't know me

i think i accidentally Hexenjagd in another thread, but just changed that... didn't realize you were trying to stay anonymous.

Yes, you made a comment about wrestling fans.
No, that wasn't the reason I quit this place.
I quit because I was slowly phasing forums out of my life, one at at time, over the last few years (at one point I posted on seven different music forums). Mainly this was due to the fact that I can just get everything I need in regards to music and socializing online, on Facebook (I am easy to find on there if anyone wants to send a friend request). This is the same reason I don't use MySpace anymore, or chat rooms, or buy music magazines.
It was done after you made your comment, but that was not the reason. Do you really think I would quit this site that I was a part of for over six years because of some comment you made?
The reason I am back is because I like a lot of the people here and realized it is the easiest way to communicate with them.
As for the name, it is just another name I use for a music project of mine, and for the mixes I make for my label/blog, Dragged to Hell.

this looks like a money-grab to me. i fear it's going to be digital (so none of the analog quirkiness that made the 303 and 808 famous) and based on samples (which you can get elsewhere). the interface might be a change-up from what you currently use but seems to me you can do better with a customizable interface with assignable pads, sliders, etc - rather than being locked into the layout of this device which will have limited functionality.

I guarantee you more young men and women "connected" over "She's Got a Way" or "Big Shot" than "Sweet Jane" or "Five Years."Yeah but...only the hot chicks listened to the latter.

I usually steered clear of anyone who had Dave Matthews or Hootie and the Blowfish in their cd collection. Usually said a lot about the person. (did seem the easy ones always had Dave Matthews)

What do you mean by "impact on culture?" God, that's such a Generation whatever, navel-gazing phrase. In no way am I defending Billy Joel, but what a snooty, elitist comment. Do YOU even know what you're asking?
I assume someone like Bowie or Lou Reed, in your opinion, has had a huge "impact on culture?" Really? Maybe for the 0.00001% of culture who actually play an instrument and/or are in a band.
Are you talking about the culture of clothing? Yes, "rock stars" with destinctive styles of dress can cause young fans to dress like them. I'm thinking Madonna when she started out. But did people ever really dress like Springsteen or Mick Jagger?
I would say Billy Joel has a huge impact on culture simply due to the fact that for 10 solid years, every woman entering college was issued "Billy Joel's Greatest Hits Vol. 1 and 2" along with some tampons.
"Impact on culture." That's just what this generation does. Wonders about "impacts on culture."
I guarantee you more young men and women "connected" over "She's Got a Way" or "Big Shot" than "Sweet Jane" or "Five Years."
Brian
Really have you ever dated a woman or a gay man? They love ABBA. Shit I love ABBA. Of course, I ,like normal people, like Billy Joel, too. Glass Houses and the Stranger are masterpieces.There's a difference between people owning the CD (which a lot of people do with regard to The Eagles) and having an effect on the culture (which as Brian mentions is a nebulous at best concept).

They were the inspiration for 95% of what is today called "country" music. Hence, serving as an inspiration for moving country music from its distinct Southern hillbilly roots and fan base to a light rock-Chevy truck commercial sound and geographically and socioeconomically indistinct fan base.

Ummm... lots of big words but no...
More than ERNEST TUBB? I revoke my argument. Jesus Christ, how could I have been so wrong.
Vince Gill was quoted as saying the Eagles have influenced more people than Ernest Tubb, and therefore should join him in Country Music's Hall of Fame.
Really have you ever dated a woman or a gay man? They love ABBA. Shit I love ABBA. Of course, I ,like normal people, like Billy Joel, too. Glass Houses and the Stranger are masterpieces.There's a difference between people owning the CD (which a lot of people do with regard to The Eagles) and having an effect on the culture (which as Brian mentions is a nebulous at best concept).

I will start today's selection of Billy Joel's "The Stranger".That's a fantastic record.

I think each day we should pick a classic album and we can all listen to it together. I will start today's selection of Billy Joel's "The Stranger".
No, I just have the regular version. Not a big enough Billy Joel fan to go buy another copy. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant is a great composition.I will start today's selection of Billy Joel's "The Stranger".That's a fantastic record.
I assume you're listening to the 30th Anniversary Deluxe Limited Edition
The limited deluxe edition inclueds a CD of a previously unreleased concert featuring Billy and his band, Live At Carnegie Hall 1977, recorded at the historic Manhattan venue on June 3, 1977, one month before the sessions for The Stranger album
it is pretty classic. Truth be told I'm from Long Island, so it's in my blood. Just it does sound a little dated, only because I've heard it from start to finish 1 million times
P.S. I think most young hipsters hate the Eagles simply becuase of "The Big Lebowski". A LOT of college educated men of a certain age view themselves as quasi-Lebowskis and therefore adopt every opinion he has.That's probably my vote for "Most overrated movie of all time that doesn't have the words 'Star' and 'Wars' in the title." I like the Coen brothers but I never got why people were so hyped over this film. Its extremely "meh."

P.S. Well, who's the Stig, then?
Dear sweet everyone,So was the half full Ottobar show indicative of the rest of the Chelsea Light Moving (I personally loved the album and their set) tour? So the next CLM record is... Actually a Thurston solo record, but just with the same players.
I switched this page from Chelsea Light Moving to Thurston Joseph Michael Moore. The next record to be released under my own name will be titled "Detonation" (Matador, June 1st 2014). Most of the music on it will be unreleased tracks recorded by myself with John Moloney, Samara Lubelski and Keith Wood - who recorded and toured with me under the name Chelsea Light Moving but i've decided to just use my real name from now on for records and gigs regardless of who will be playing with me, or at least for the time being(!). The last few years had me going strong with John, Samara and Keith, friends/musicians/confidantes whom i ADORE, but I feel the need to change the live thing up a bit. Right now i'm playing under my own name with guitarist extraordinaire James Sedwards - we have a few gigs coming up. All future info will be updated on https://www.facebook.com/ThurstonMooreOfficial

Priests interview! Priests interview! Priests interview! Priests interview! (http://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/priests)This says quartet.
But they are a quartet, not a trio.
D.C. quartet Priests are omnivorous consumers of ideas; you can practically feel them exploding from their short songs

azag . . . people should feel sad by aspca emails. that way, they might go and beat the fuck out of people who do shit like having a dog, and keep it in a small ass cage in the back yard, with no life, and even during the most cold it gets outside, they dont bring them inside. i see this all the time in the country, and i turn away, pretending that im not seeing it. i wish i had the balls to beat the shit out of people like that.
I always find weird stuff in old LPs. Never anything valuable though. Weed seeds and stems, Porn DVDs, divorce papers, newspaper clippings. The two most interesting items were a creepy black and white photo of a very old woman inside of Black Sabbath's Vol. 4 and possible homosexual love letter (can't remember what record that was in though)

If I was expecting to find a homosexual love letter in an LP, I'd guess it was probably Bette Midler, Yaz, the Smiths, or the Rollins Band. Something like Torch Song Trilogy or Hedwig would be too obvious. I think those automatically come with gay love letters.
I still say ZZ Top. Gayest band name ever.Not to mention they take the concept of a mustache ride to absolute extremes. Good call, Rhett.

So women can call themselves misogynists? I don't think that is the default. Misogynist means you hate women. You can be anti-feminist without hating women. For example, you could think women should stay at home raising children but that doesn't mean you hate women.

okay, return to my initial logic... if some woman wanted to label themselves as a misogynist because they felt like they hated women, why would anyone care?

A study called ?Egalitarianism, Housework and Sexual Frequency in Marriage,? which appeared in The American Sociological Review last year, surprised many, precisely because it went against the logical assumption that as marriages improve by becoming more equal, the sex in these marriages will improve, too. Instead, it found that when men did certain kinds of chores around the house, couples had less sex. Specifically, if men did all of what the researchers characterized as feminine chores like folding laundry, cooking or vacuuming ? the kinds of things many women say they want their husbands to do ? then couples had sex 1.5 fewer times per month than those with husbands who did what were considered masculine chores, like taking out the trash or fixing the car. It wasn?t just the frequency that was affected, either ? at least for the wives. The more traditional the division of labor, meaning the greater the husband?s share of masculine chores compared with feminine ones, the greater his wife?s reported sexual satisfaction.

never ceases to amaze me how so many of your posts amount to patting yourself on the back for the choices you make...this is one technique: criticizing people who haven't made the same choices you made... people are not bad parents for sending their kids to daycare
you must be very insecure about the choices you make to need to point out their correctness to strangers on a semi-permanent basis..

Only child that is home schooled? Sounds like a future serial killer. Every person I have met that has been home schooled has been pretty much insane and has poor personal hygiene.
i just want to apologize to everyone for somehow catalyzing the parenting circle jerk again.
back to music: future islands fucking rules. how did i just discover these guys? stoked to see them in a few weeks.
also, i ordered after dark 1 and 2 yesterday on clear vinyl. spotify streaming did these albums zero justice and i'm stoked to blast this shit on high quality.
i only have one home-schooled friend. he plays in one of those awful folk bands, plays one of the yeehaw instruments, wears dumb hats, and in conversation, sounds pretentious at every moment they are provided the opportunity. don't home school.
Wow, sounds like a great friend to have around!i only have one home-schooled friend. he plays in one of those awful folk bands, plays one of the yeehaw instruments, wears dumb hats, and in conversation, sounds pretentious at every moment they are provided the opportunity. don't home school.
I recommend all Of their albums, and also their releases from when they were known as Art Lords and the Self Portraits.
The members are also in these groups: the snails, peals, archer twins, moss of aura (garret solo) and hemlock Ernst (Sam solo rapping).

My wife doesn't think she should work after the child is born but hey that new Audi that I want isn't going to pay for itself.
I'm going to call him out on his bad parenting (and spousal) decision.

Wait, I am 49. Second whe did I claim to make beaucup money? Third, it is a joke.
That is the difference between my post about how I am better than you guys and your post about how you are better than us. I am joking.
I wish people would use it. I only read a couple of threads here and having people constantly going off topic is annoying.

Can I share with you a quote from my wife regarding daycare? And if you think she (or I for respecting and sharing my wife's views), by having these thoughts. am saying I am better than you, well fine. Infer whatever you want.
to me, there's be no other way for a child under one...and possibly 2-3...but no way I would leave a non-walking, non-talking infant who is supposed to be held and cuddled all day and given breastmilk on demand with someone other than me...
It's not the kind of thing I need a study to tell me is good or bad for the child either, as a mother, I just know...and I am actually sad for those who can't or won't stay with their babies...
Anyway, I would have been heartbroken to be with a husband who tried to push me to go back to work before I wanted to

to me, there's be no other way for a child under one...and possibly 2-3...but no way I would leave a non-walking, non-talking infant who is supposed to be held and cuddled all day and given breastmilk on demand with someone other than me...
It's not the kind of thing I need a study to tell me is good or bad for the child either, as a mother, I just know...and I am actually sad for those who can't or won't stay with their babies...
Anyway, I would have been heartbroken to be with a husband who tried to push me to go back to work before I wanted to
As a critical thinking human... the 'as a mother, I just know' is complete and utter bullshit.
Mother's can be just as shitty as anybody.

here . . . heres something musical, to ponder.
i only have one home-schooled friend. he plays in one of those awful folk bands, plays one of the yeehaw instruments, wears dumb hats, and in conversation, sounds pretentious at every moment they are provided the opportunity. don't home school.
n=1 isn't very convincing.
So four bad apples make any argument a woman who is a mom makes regarding motherhood complete and utter bullshit?
So four bad apples make any argument a woman who is a mom makes regarding motherhood complete and utter bullshit?
Yes, a woman that justifies their criticism of another's parenting by saying they have popped out a baby is full of complete and utter bullshit.
ratbastard must have been abused severely while utwo played in the background. like a gitmo form of torture or something. i have never seen a person hate a band as much as he hates utwo.
Walkies, what do you think about emojis?
Walkies, what do you think about emojis?
to be honest, at first, like most of human kind, i found them to be endearing and cute representations of laziness . . . but now, like most of human kind, ive grown tired of their simplistic answers to inane forms of neocommunications. i guess i should sum up such logic by posting one now, here at the end of this sentence, as some sort of reasonational metaphor, but i wont, because wtf, lolz and omg.
That map is highly misleading...
Another caveat: The map only shows, as Lumere puts it, "the top most distinctive popular artist for a state that hasn't already been selected for a more populous state."
I saw that the other day and thought some of them were really weird. Kurt Vile for Oregon? Edward Sharpe for PA?
somebody told me that sufjan wanted to name an album after every state . . . i wonder how true that is?

The most believable one here is Arizona.
Listening to a Smiths/Lana Del Rey mashup right now called "This Charming Video Game." It actually works surprisingly well.Link? This seems right up my alley.

Why is the bro artist the National? Wouldnt it be Kanye West? He has a lot more shares... Same with MBV.
Or are you basing that on the National having a slightly lower score?
And is the Field "you never heard of them" or "nobody gives a shit enough to share the pitchfork writeup on them"?
Who shares pitchfork reviews?
And what is a "bro" and a "hipster" in your own words?
Edit:
Oh i see the "bro me" index on the article... strange
Edit2: MBV isnt hipster approved? Nobody told the crowd of hipsters in Philly last year that they shouldnt be there...
I've been to ten or more roomrunner shows. Most are not so bro. It was the fact that they had a keg of free beer And most of the crowd was from bel air and friends with at least Brett. And it was only five bros most of the crowd was fine.
What was the most empowering part of that process, trouncing writer's block?
Just the realization that the fate of this band was in my hands. It was a good thing, though, because I honestly thought that the fact that I couldn't write any more guitar songs meant that Wye Oak wouldn't exist. The most empowering thing I can imagine was realizing that the band could be whatever I'd want it to be. All told, it's about the songs themselves, and whatever path I take to get to those songs, and however I decide to dress them up aesthetically, that's the heart of it. It's always been about the songs themselves.

http://springsteen.bandcamp.com/I don't get why this one would be a problem. Sure Bruce is called by his last name a lot, and sure he is the most famous of anyone with that name. But, I don't see why a band cant call themselves Springsteen. What about a band called Jackson? or Dion? Or Buckley? Or Diamond? Or Wilson? Or Jagger? Or Duff? Or Simpson? Or Spears? or any last name?

Hiyooooooooooooo!!
<a href="http://lacienegasmiled.tumblr.com/post/77598143356/as-jackson-couldnt-fluently-play-any-instruments:>Mind blown.[/url] I had no idea. Make sure you click on the "listen" link.
As [Michael] Jackson couldn?t fluently play any instruments, he would sing and beatbox out how he wanted his songs to sound by himself on tape, layering the vocals, harmonies and rhythm before having instrumentalists come in to complete the songs...
We called in a guitar player, and Michael sang every note of every chord to him. ?here?s the first chord first note, second note, third note. Here?s the second chord first note, second note, third note?, etc., etc.
but nows he dead because he was an out of control junkie . . . so theres that.

It's funny that they say that they've tried to contact The Fall but so far no success. No reply is necessary; the problem will take care of itself. These guys might get a few gigs around KC but nowhere else. They would probably have trouble getting recordings pressed, and none of the digital services will take them with that name.

People voted 930 Club on Washington City paper as... Best place to see local music? It deserves the best music venue spot, but best place to see local music? I am not being a hater, just being real. Look at the list of bands that are playing the 930 Club over the next few months. The most "local" it gets are a couple from Baltimore, the rest are from anywhere else. Maybe the people who voted didn't understand the category. 930 Club does host local bands every now and then, but still.that is funny. A few years back here in Richmond, Style Weekly did their annual poll and The National won best large venue, best small venue, and best venue to see local music. I chalk it up to being the only venue people who lived out the suburbs could name.
i think the club also wins the cutest owner, award, as well . . . or maybe that in my dreamed award ceremony with finger sandwiches and punch, thread.

Expanded to include Dan Deacon and rainbow rock...
I just realized only probably Azag would find this funny.

They didn't play Fake Plastic Trees either. Lame band. And the crowd was full of bro's shoving into people. They mostly played stuff from In Rainbows which is one of the worst albums of all time IMHO.

you should've got a seat rather than standing with savages like hutch.
i don't disagree with him. i like there music, but when i saw those guys years back, it's like they were a blues rock cover band, never straying too far from the course. you can tell the guys that it comes naturally, and for the black keys, that's not the case. those guys seem like they are very hardworking musicians, but they aren't creating anything original.
http://pitchfork.com/news/55378-jack-white-slams-the-black-keys-suggests-once-again-that-theyve-ripped-off-his-sound/
do the black keys, rip off, the white stripes? i dont know, i dont listen to the black keys. they do have two members each, three words in their name, both starting with 'the', then a 'color', then a word which could describe the two sets of playable parts of a piano. odd. and both lead singers kids go to the same school.

I think it depends on what you're talking about.. I mean the early black keys albums are so stripped down....the lead singer dude sounds like paul rodgers of free/bad co on them... they've changed since..
the last few are almost "Dangermouse with the Black Keys" albums.... since I think Dangermouse is the best producer in the world right now its fine by me..
and Auerbach gets my thanks based alone on his production of Dr John's Locked Down..heck of an album
I find originality is a term often misapplied..... you can be original while working within established forms..... Are we saying if someone came out with an album as great as Back in Black but with different songs we wouldn't like it? It wouldn't be "original"? The Hellacopters High Visibility is the greatest album Thin Lizzy never made..doesn't make it any less great..

i guess they kind of fell off with me after attack and release, so i missed all the danger mouse produced music. originality maybe wasn't the right term. their "established form" just came off as a total replica. nothing new. i feel like it's a 2-man novelty group, and i just expected them to feed off each other more live, and i never saw it happen. and this was a band that had been playing together since 2001.

ryan adams...at the club please
really don't want to see him at the DAR or Strathmore, but understand if you can't
I would hazard a guess that the Lincoln Theatre is the likelier option actually Mr Sidehatch...
Mr. Sidehatch, do you continue to listen to his new albums.. is his last one really good? or is he a legacy act now (Rolling Stones) and it doesn't matter anymore?
Last time I saw Ryan he was at the Patriot Center actually..opening for Oasis.. pretty good..
Ryan Adams hasn't released anything worthwhile since the demise of Whiskeytown.

Looks like the new album is done and back from the manufacturer ready to be sold
Saw a release date of 7/22

FREEMAN is Aaron Freeman's first album of original material since disbanding Ween and getting sober, but it's not a record mired in its maker's private struggles. It's a collection of gorgeous, subtly offbeat songs. The lush psych pop of "...Stallion"; the melancholy plea of "More Than the World"; the unflappable, Plastic Ono Band esque blues-rock of "Gimmie One More." FREEMAN distills the Aaron Freeman aesthetic equal parts wonder & malaise, frankness & mysticism, defiance & vulnerability to its headiest essence, proving that this man, known for so long by another name, is finally free.
something called "A Motown Tribute to Nickleback" exists.. WHY WHY WHY WHYDO NOT WANT.

i wonder, how many albums, that reviewer has released?
yes, but you should have, at least musical talent enough to put out music to be reviewed, if you are going to trash other peoples talent, as shit.That's idiotic. Absolutely nothing you said in your comma delimited rant is remotely reasonable.
having an opinion . . . and putting out your opinion into the world to be accepted and deciphered as the truth, are two separate things.
your comma delimited rant
drop anything walkie posts into a text editor, save as .csv, and import into Excel!!!Format Text/Space Delimited all the way. I didn't used to be Julian, .prn CONNOISSEUR for nothing.

sad that it only lasted for a day ;D
I was cool when I stole a test before the test and shared it with the people on my school bus.....cool until someone snitched on me...Something similar happened to me. I was at an afterschool "something" (I forget what) and I was in a utility room with a copy machine. This was like 5th grade. And the science teacher, Mr. Vest, had left the test for the next day sitting on top of the copy machine. I thought it was funny, put it in my pocket, told no one, and the next day, first thing I went to his classroom and returned it. He asked where I got it and I said it was on the copy machine. He called my parents and made a big stink about it and postponed the test for a day until he could come up with new questions about the same material. I remember my dad coming to school and going "you left something somewhere, and he returned it to you and didn't show it to anyone else? What did you want him to do exactly?"

The Knife are breaking up once their your is done.
Someone check on Walkie.

Henry Rollins ... ::)
his 17 year old jock psyche just won't leave him.
http://www.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2014/08/21/henry-rollins-fuck-suicide (http://www.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2014/08/21/henry-rollins-fuck-suicide)
"I have life by the neck and drag it along. Rarely does it move fast enough. Raw Power forever."
I think he needs a cat. People with cats don't say such douchetastic things.
I agree with the article too... even though Rollins is one of the biggest nozzles out there.
I especially agree with the part about not taking your life if you have kids. But his youngest kid is 23, so maybe the rules change once your youngest is an adult (?) You're going to die at some point, 63 with your kids grown is not that young anyway...I agree with the article too... even though Rollins is one of the biggest nozzles out there.
He is not spot on about anything...
Severe depression can lead people to kill themselves..its a disease...
he's about as right as the people who are convinced that some people beat cancer cause they wanted to and others don't because they didn't...
its seriously so moronic that i'm shocked to read people agree with on this site..
obviouslyt he man was seriously sick... nobody kills themselves and leaves kids behind because they are thinking rationally...its an illness and even if you seek out treatment sometimes it doesn't work...its very complex
but to say people who kill themselves are dicks?? WTF?
nobody disputes that killing yourself when you have kids is a terrible thing to do..heck, just killing yourself even if you don't! i mean what about the people who love a person that kills themselves? BUT that is not the issue.. the issue is that its an illness that leads people to feel so desperate that there is nothing else to be done...
moreover, nobody knows Robin Williams or any other man, other than themself (and in many cases not even that), to be able to sit around judging others and what they "did"... i mean what the fuck do you all know about robin williams??? you thinkk cause you saw a few movies you know shit?
My judgment isn't based on me thinking I know Robin WIlliams, it's based on personal experiences that I've had in my life where people have left children behind.
I understand it's a disease and not something you can just "turn off", but in some situations it's just not acceptable IMO.

well I don't know what you mean when you say "its just not acceptable"... you'd have to define your words very precisely..it could be read any number of ways..
its not acceptable so he's a dick could be one reading.... if that is what you're saying you ought to take a big step back...
its not acceptable so people shouldn't do it if they can at all avoid it could be another reading.... a more human one i would add
the fact you know people who did it means nothing just as it means nothing that henry rollins had a roomate who was depressed......sorry to say.... its not the same... you can't extrapolate one case and make it emblematic of all cases and then draw a judgment....
you really ought to focus a bit more on empathy and be less judgmental of people you don't know...
depression is an illness...very often genetically transmitted and which people often times have no ability to control.... even if they do seek treatment.. it is incredibly complex...certainly more complex than "oh, he took the easy way out, what a dick"......
empathy is an interesting concept..... having a child with autism (maybe two) i never thought all that much about it.. i think i'm lacking in it at times.. i know my father is..... i dont mean to lack in it but i do.. i think about it more...the ability to look at things from other people's shoes...its really a great ability isn't it...to see things as others do.... its so weird how so much comes down to those pesky genes..and that winning sperm
I reckon some choose to empathize with the dead guy who is now in no pain (assuming he's not burning in Hell*), while others choose to empathize with those whose actions the dead guy brought current pain to.
*Disclaimer: I don't believe in Hellempathy is an interesting concept..... having a child with autism (maybe two) i never thought all that much about it.. i think i'm lacking in it at times.. i know my father is..... i dont mean to lack in it but i do.. i think about it more...the ability to look at things from other people's shoes...its really a great ability isn't it...to see things as others do.... its so weird how so much comes down to those pesky genes..and that winning sperm

i'll call him a dick. he's a dick and he's ignorant and anyone who agrees with what he wrote should stick with what they know. i normally don't mind rollins, i was never really a fan of his music, but i appreciate that he's candid and he expressed how he felt, but he is standing on the wrong side and his words read to me like he has no fucking clue what it means to have a mental illness.
we are all just trying to get through life, some of us finding more meaning in it than others, and by no means does that give anyone the fucking right to point a finger at the other side and say "you're doing it wrong, asshole". fuck henry rollins here.
So nobody has the right to point a finger and tell someone they fucked up? Puh-leeeze. Some of us get criticized for our actions every day of the week. If we can take the criticism, so can Robin.Pretty sure you gave him something. $$$

That's the first time I've seen that ad and I wanted to check it out. Sadly, I found that Mr. Pop is not the first hit in Google when typing Iggy.
for some reason I can't seem to get any emails from the 930, I even subscribed under different e-mails and such.I received mail and email from 930 consistently for years, then ThatGuy got his panties in a bunch and banned me, and both immediately stopped. I've tried signing back up, nothing. That's pretty much the height of pettiness.
On that note, like the low ticket warning, I think there should be a 930/IMP email thread
heck, I don't think I've burned any bridges with 930 (I'm sure there are a few bordies I've pissed off) But I've sent emails to human@930 and even the staff a FWB and still nothing.for some reason I can't seem to get any emails from the 930, I even subscribed under different e-mails and such.I received mail and email from 930 consistently for years, then ThatGuy got his panties in a bunch and banned me, and both immediately stopped.

Did you not see the date on the story? It's from four years ago.... I was beginning to wonder if I had missed a memo about the label expanding or something.

A free U2 record? Overpriced.
That band was good, not great, for a three-year stretch over twenty years ago. It is astounding they remain as popular as they are with the glut of terrible material they've put out in the interim and what absolute, unmitigated assholes everyone in the band appears to be.
I mean, am I alone on this? I know Smackie loves them, but the more "hip" 80% of this board, we all hate them, right? U2 is a total nostalgia act and a sucky one at that.A free U2 record? Overpriced.

I like(d) Rattle and Hum.
U2 had me through Joshua Tree, lost me with Rattle and Hum, got me back with Achtung Baby, and lost me forever after that.
I've never seen them live and never bought a tshirt.
Some of my Irish ancestors had the same last name as Bono.
I wonder if i pass the Sidehatch coolness test?

The very definition of being hip is listening to whatever you like and not giving a shit what others think...

I think it's pretty funny he's getting all this attention. He has ALWAYS been cranky, bitter, and confrontational. Entitled? More than Kanye? Please. I think Mr. West takes the award for boring douche.

I'm not arguing that.
I saw PG in 2007 or 2008 at Univ of Maryland.
I saw him a few times too. I was surprised that he was not particularly tight on solo piano. I know he is a composer, but I expected that songs he wrote 30 years ago had many years of practice. In any case, I still prefer to see the composer playing than a "cover" artist, as we would say for rock music.
Is it for the nostalgia factor?Yes, absolutely. I never got to see them because I was too young and its a total "imagine what it would've been like to be there way back when" thing.

Reason Eight: It Encourages The False Idea That "Best", "Better Than?" And "Worse Than?" Apply to Art.
Question: What is Neil Young's On The Beach album like?
Answer: It's his best!
If you think this is a not a good answer to that question, you're right. The word "Best" is just a placeholder for a swirl of emotions, a specific historical narrative, a shaky web of criteria, as relayed by a person who is changing all the time as new experiences influence them. All of which is interesting. The "best" part is not. If "best" only begs the question, the same is also true for talk about "better than . . . " or "worse than . . . " that afflicts the scene when we explain why one record is on a list and another is left off. Each record proposes to you the terms by which it might be judged. Some people aim high and wipe out, some people aim low and nail it, but who decides what constitutes these alleged successes or failures? What is the vantage point from which you determine what is high or low as a goal in the first place? What does "easy" and "difficult" mean when making art? Is a record that sets a supposedly modest goal for itself "worse" than a record that takes huge risks, and attempts impossibly ambitious things? From a labour standpoint, an album of two-chord drone rock with muttered vocals about drugs is easier to make than a witty song-cycle about American imperialism set to calypso and Trinidadian steel band arrangements with orchestral strings. But so what? On some days, Spacemen 3's Sound Of Confusion is clearly "better" to me than Van Dyke Parks' Discover America. On other days, the reverse is just as clearly true. At no point are these shifting wins and losses anything other than a subjective report about my whims, pleasures and needs. List making perpetuates the illusion that those whims are facts worth reporting.

Finally. As Ryan Adams kicked off his U.S. tour in Santa Barbara, CA and surprised everyone when he closed the show with a take on "Run To You" by none other than Bryan Adams from 1984's Reckless whose album cover bares an eerie resemblance to Ryan's new album cover, as you can see above. The bromance has been brewing between these two, as they're both active on Twitter and even found themselves hanging out a the Invictus Games closing ceremony in London.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason is my favorite Pink Floyd record.

Not a Floyd album.... read up on it.. Gilmour hired literally like 80 studio musicians to come up with something that would sound like Pink Floyd. Not even Rick Wright was an "official" Floyd member at the time

David Gilmour RULES.
Do you not think I might know something about a band I love?
It says Pink Floyd on the album cover.Do you not think I might know something about a band I love?Well evidently not..how can you call AMLOR a Pink FLoyd album?
My vote is for Rams Head Annapolis.
whatever.
That was a joke. Man.
What's your problem?
evidently a little young but you'll learn that AMLOR is a turd in the Pink Floyd canon....
Don't feel ashamed because you proposed something that could never happen and didn't realize how crazy it was..don't run away from it..its ok to make mistakes... not everyone realizes the types of places Gilmour plays.. and if AMLOR is your favorite Floyd album you may not even be aware that they are a stadium band and Gilmour usually plays big theaters (and that's downscaling for him)... its ok man.
No love for Pink Floyd's best album Wish You Were Here?
You also attack my music taste.
You like the horrible (to me) band, Antemasque, enough to make a thread about them, so you should be the last person to judge someone's taste in music
Today we have more than 50 million active users of whom 12.5 million are subscribers each paying $120 per year. That?s three times more than the average paying music consumer spent in the past.I don't pay for (or use) Spotify and must be more than an average paying music consumer.
So that makes me, and people like me, superheroes of the music industry?Uh, probably yes, actually. You're nowhere near representative of an "average" music fan. Even by the highly skewed metrics of this community, you're still probably one of the most "supportive" fans.

That industry middle man he says is no more is still there. It's taken the form of the PR industry rather than the record industry. Music doesn't randomly find its way from Bandcamp to Pitchfork. It's a nice thought but no. Yes, it's cheaper/easier to get your music out there than ever before but it's just as easy/cheap for everyone else. Music's still filtered through just as many channels unless you have an influential friend or two. Not to mention the fact that everyone seems to need to have management/a booking agent nowadays from bands that play houses to arena acts. Just ask Seth how often the Club talks to a band itself as opposed to an agent when booking it.

Crimony, this guy is so inside himself he's coming back out his own mouth.
So because I have no life, I was watching "About A Boy" tv show last night and a song comes on that I recognize but can't quite place it. So I fire up an app and it tells me it's The Black Lips "I don't wanna go home". And then I'm confused because Black Lips isn't a band I really listen to, thus further blowing my cred, so I must have heard it in passing.
So imagine my further confusion, when today I was listening to the Curtis Harding album from last year and "I Don't Wanna Go Home" comes on. I'm thinking so is this a cover that I thought was an original, which would explain why I couldn't quite place the Black Lips version. Harding's album is a great soul influence with punk/garage outing.
Turns out one would probably call Curtis's take a version, seeing as he co-wrote it with the band...
because I have no life...I keep coming back to the 930 message board
Do we think they will add her as support for their Echostage show eventhough she is headlining the club 2 days earlier?Would not seem like the smartest business move. Why would Seth do that?

Turner pulls up the leg of his trousers to reveal a tattoo of a dragon, which he had inked Burdette?s memory. ?He was covered in dragon tattoos,? recalls Turner. ?All of his dragons had closed eyes and he said that when he died he wanted their eyes opened. So his tattooist went and did it, which is fucking intense.?

How have we not talked about Nicki Minaj's justified call-out of the music industry/MTV for snubbing her in the VMA nominations and Taylor Swift's wrong-headed, tone-deaf response?The majority of the nominees were minorities.

As tempting as it is to respond to Julian's comment that white women have had it worse than black men here since the end of slavery, a discussion on Jim Crow, racial profiling and mass incarceration would swing this thread way off the intended topic.I concur.
Ed Sheeran getting the nod over her in the video of the year category is quite a headscratcher.BTW, you do understand this was basically Taylor Swift's response ("maybe one of the guys took your slot") that you were earlier calling "wrong-headed" and "tone-deaf," correct?
Does anyone here actually know what that Ed Sheeran song sounds like?
It was wrong-headed (and a little self-centered) for Swift to assume she was personally attacked. Minaj's tweets still read as more of a generalization about the industry and music press as a whole (who still have their fair share of unresolved race/sex/body type issues) to me.I think you're giving Minaj way too much credit. That's what annoys me about this: virtually every article about it spends no time actually discussing what Minaj actually said and instead is a missive about the author's personal agenda and presuming that is what Minaj was trying to say. But if you look at her ACTUAL words she said she was mad that she didn't get a nomination this year but "other girls... skinny girls" did. So it wasn't about Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, or Kendrick Mars. She was definitely DIRECTLY talking about either Taylor Swift or Beyonce.
If she were a true feminist rather than simply an attention whore, she'd be calling attention to how horribly women are treated in Saudi Arabia rather than complaining about only skinny girls getting video award nominations. ;)I know you're mostly trolling but I agree. This is not a racism/sexism issue. It's about fat acceptance and Minaj should be shouted down from the rooftop over that. Want a nomination? Stop shoveling cake in your face and become a skinny girl.

But isn't it about whose music video is better?Yes, but Minaj's point isn't that her video was better. She explicitly didn't say that. She just complained that "skinny girls" get nominations. She is the person bringing weight into it, not anyone else. She is the person -- not me, not MTV -- who is under the belief that she didn't get a nomination because "durrr, thin privilege." Fat privilege is being able to talk about other people's weight with impunity but if anyone talks about yours, they'd be crucified.

Would it be sexist for me to post this link?Nikki Minaj is triggered that only skinny girls get posted in that link.

Yeah, I suppose it'd be nice if she took our government to task for propping up that monstrous regime for as long as it has.If she were a true feminist rather than simply an attention whore, she'd be calling attention to how horribly women are treated in Saudi Arabia rather than complaining about only skinny girls getting video award nominations. ;)

As tempting as it is to respond to Julian's comment that white women have had it worse than black men here since the end of slavery, a discussion on Jim Crow, racial profiling and mass incarceration would swing this thread way off the intended topic.I concur.
A discussion of systematic unprosecuted sexual assault, wage disparity, and a de facto ban on hiring women for certain jobs would derail the Musicological banter. A comparison of the relative dates at which white women and black men were allowed to own property; vote; first served in Congress, the Senate, state governorships, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency; and were allowed to serve in liturgical roles in the majority of mainstream religions would be an annoying and longwinded sideshow on the board. The fact that women could be legally sodomized by their husbands in the majority of states IN OUR LIFETIMES would be a downright bummer to think about.
This would all take away from the true victim which is a multimillionaire rapper who didn't get a choreography nomination in America's 17th most prestigious arts award.
So thanks to you two for that.I just try and make a difference.
If Taylor Swift ever somehow made a great album, it would sound something like the new Ashley Monroe album.I heard her website just got hacked and a lot of guys who were trying to cheat on their wives with her are getting prettay, prettay, prettay nervous.
tyler, the creator . . . accuses, wrongly, some woman from Australia of being behind the fact he can,not play in that country, on twitter. then tyler,s fans, on twitter, are threatening to kill said woman and rape her. now, tyler, again on twitter, is saying he has nothing to do with such threats and they are not coming from him.And Australia says that he's actually not banned from there.
ahh, the internet, and twitter.

Jack White is putting out a Wolf Eyes record and the universe makes no sense.I posted this in the Random thread and moved it to this one:
"jack white is not allowed to do anything, or make money, or be anybody, or be anything . . . because I don,t like him as an artist."

well he's right... name the last rap album you loved? Tribe?
all he forgot to add is that they are stealing the riff from some song everyone already loves.
complaining that rappers are tone-deaf is missing the point about rap. it's like saying that atonal jazz isn't melodic... no shit. not supposed to be, nor trying to be.
well he's right... name the last rap album you loved? Tribe?true...Low End Theory was probably the last rap/hip hop album I have purchased or liked

well king krule kinda has a rap'esq thing going on...not sure if anyone in rap would think that counts
what's funny is the stones were stealing riff's from the American blues guys too
making some big generalities there, hutch... do you really think all rap is exactly the same as vanilla ice?
and in case you haven't been keeping up, the age where rappers can rip entire songs via samples as use that as the only basis for a tune is essentially over. clearing samples has become cost-prohibitive. other than that Minaj "my anaconda" remake (which she had sir mixalot's permission to do, so nothing to clear), when was the last time you hear a rap song that was a clear, top-to-bottom rip of an old tune? yeah... vanilla ice. 1990. all those classic rap albums from the 80's and 90's couldn't be produced in today's environment. instead, rappers need to use session musicians, royalty-free samples (i.e. music you've never heard of), etc.
i'm not a big fan or rap. i listen to some, occasionally, but i've def not a fanboy. on the other hand i feel that dismissing the entire genre as "inane babbling over someone else's music" is asinine.
BUT overall I tend to agree that rap is a waste..
What year are we in?
There's a ton of good hip-hop that is very forward-thinking musically.

its really hard to say if its forward thinking unless you go forward, no? but I actually differentiate between rap and hip-hop a bit....maybe that is wrong of me... in any case, feel free to cite some current-ish hip-hop albums you think will leave a lasting legacy on music say in 10-20 years...
Since it's all about the controversial statement today and this has been buggin me for awhile..
I find most major label "neo-soul" acts to slickly produced for my tastes and their records leave me cold. There are rare exceptions i.e Lianna La Havas. But I'll be stickin' with Daptone, G.E.D. Soul, Hope Street Records, Acid Jazz, Tru Thoughts, Record Kicks, Ubiquity for my neo-soul.

Some of these guys are as market researched and tested as Josh Groban and Michael Bubbly. The cover for Leon Bridges album couldn't be more cynically assembled.
And when az cites kanye as an important albumI know I thought that was one of the signs of the upcoming apocalypse
You can also be assured that Andra Day is the next big thing, although her album is far to much in the Amy Winehouse range for my liking

Jerry Garcia?s abundant songwriting went hand in hand with his frequent drug use. So when he was arrested in San Francisco?s Golden Gate Park on January 19, 1985 for possessing narcotics, no surprise that his confiscated briefcase full of drugs also had unfinished songs in it. Those works, from his rich collaboration with Grateful Dead writer Robert Hunter, are nowhere to be found in evidence. Hunter wants them back, drugs or not.

Description
Chalkwell Park is a new sound app by Matmos commissioned by Metal for NetPark.
Matmos spent a week at Chalkwell Hall in June 2015, sampling and recording the sounds of the people, the park and environs. Sounds include peacocks, skateboarding, fences, a playground and a pond.
The key instruction is 'Listen, then drift' inside Chalkwell Park, Southend-on-Sea. As you wander you will encounter a series of eight tracks including the instructions. This app is best experienced with headphones.
Use the map to navigate towards each GPS zone and the track will automatically play. Switch GPS on before starting.
If you are unable to visit Chalkwell Park in Southend-on-Sea then click on 'MP3' to play the tracks wherever you are.
Approximate listening time: 30 minutes.

TBH I showed up right before LCDSS went on.Yacht (it was just the main guy solo at that point) was one of the weirdest things I have ever seen.
"millennial males"
The line in Condé Nast's press release about "passionate millennial males" can't be making Pitchfork's female writers (who have been responsible for its better content over the last few years) too happy.they were referring to the audience, not the staff
Plus I wonder to what extent "millennial males" even care about Pitchfork anymore. My impression is that most present-day readers of Pitchfork are 30-40, which is more Gen Y than millennial. Every generation has its "lol u old" media. My Gen X generation felt that way about Rolling Stone. Gen Y probably felt that way about Spin. And millennials look at Pitchfork and associate it with Radiohead and Animal Collective, which aren't exactly modern bands anymore.
I'm pulling all of this outta my ass, by the way.

So your Greatest Generation is ancient times to 1945, Baby Boomers from 45-65, Gen X from 65-80, Gen Y from 80 to 95, and millenials beginning at 95 and onward (which means we're damn well ready for a new shiny generation label)No. Millennials and Gen Y are the SAME THING.

hoborock.orgFTFY. Technically they're non-profit. . .
those weird, gorilla versus bear shows I hear on the Sirius xmu stations are just beyond my level of odd, almost to the point of trying too hard to be weird and the music is so . . . dare I say, hoboish.

well considering there are 3 target's within a 6 mile radius of your abode...which one is your 'local' target
40? That's insane. He's getting up there but you have to account for the fact he has like a 6'4" frame. He'd have to be 330 pounds to be a 40 BMI. That's clearly not 330 pounds.I will buy an Adele CD when she resembles a human being and not a plastic bag filled with lard.

Can someone please help me understand Joanna Newsom? She's adorable, and I'm sure she's an accomplished musician, and I appreciate what she's trying to do, but it just sounds awful to me. Terrible and awful. What am I missing?I adore her. She definitely seems to be one of those acts where there's no one on the fence: you either love her or find it ridiculous. If you've listened to Ys and don't like it, I'm not going to convince you otherwise.

I went to hardcore shows in the late 80's more for the scene than the music.
I went to hardcore shows in the late 80's more for the scene than the music.
i think the answer is hidden in there, in 2 parts.
"in the 80's", i.e. when you were young. punk is the music of youthful frustration, alienation, etc. you're no longer that person, so the music doesn't speak to you.
"more for the scene than the music" - arguably the most revolutionary aspect of punk is that it was a music scene that wasn't about the music first. it was an attitude, a social group, a protest, an identity... that also came with a soundtrack. to examine it "on musical merit alone" is to miss the point. it was never meant to stand alone, so it doesn't do well when you try.
YMMV, IMHO, i'm old, etc etc etc.
catchy tune...although most would argue, not punk ;)
Ironically, Anarchy in the UK just came on the radio as I was reading your post.

I love the pistols
that 930 show they did 2003 was one of my favorite rock shows at the club
So we recently watched Love and Mercy, and my wife couldn't stop commenting on how badly punk rock sucks when compared to real musicians like Brian Wilson.I really loved that movie, but alas I am a major Beach Boys nerd and 60's nerd in general. I'm struck by how multi-talented many bands were back then...ie so many bands seemed to have multiple members that could really play and really sing. Not sure we see that as much any more.
Me, I'm sort of neutral regarding punk. I went to hardcore shows in the late 80's more for the scene than the music. I have the Sex Pistols and Dead Kennedys on my ipod but never listen to them anymore.
Does anybody have a musicological defense of punk based on musical merit alone?

I'm still love punk rock through and through. I went to tons of show mid 80's through late 80s too...to me that music is all aobut the guts and the aggro. Some holds up better than others of course, but I still rock the Misfits, Germs, Discharge, Bad Brains, Clash, etc etc etc on the regular.

Probably the reason we're in multiple wars around the world.If you equate what I'm saying to wars etc, you obviously have no idea what i'm talking about.
I don't see women starting wars
You've clearly never met my wife when she's PMSing
Do we share the same wife? :D
Still, I highly doubt we'd have as much war in a world run by women.
I guess I just endorsed Hillary.

Legendary rock giants Guns N? Roses are ?days away? from announcing a world reunion tour next year, Dish Nation is exclusively reporting.
Guitarist Slash has confirmed that he and lead singer Axl Rose have reconciled after almost a decade of arguments and now Los Angeles music insiders close to the band say they have tentatively agreed to perform together again in 2016.
It?s expected that they will headline several festivals across Europe and the United States before heading out on a staggered world tour that will coincide with their 30th anniversary.
?Slash and Axl have verbally agreed to get things together again and reform the original band. The live shows is where they can show the world what they had and also make the greatest earnings,? a music insider exclusively told Dish.
?Promoters are quietly working away to land opportunities. Details of the reunion are expected to leak out in the next few days. Everyone is expecting huge demand for tickets, but the boys are very humble and are not sure what to expect.?
Reports have recently come out saying that the band has been offered gigs in Australia, Sweden and Portugal ? although reps for the band have refused to comment.
Last month a friend close to Slash confirmed that he and Axl are now talking again and a comeback tour is close to being revealed.
Marketing experts say that the American band are on course to coin in a whopping $100 million thanks to ticket sales, CD revenue, licensing and merchandising.
?I know that he and Axl talking again is a really good sign, because we all grew up loving Guns N? Roses. I mean I am an LA kid and I remember when they were playing the Sunset Strip,? Slash?s close friend John Murdy told the UK?s Mirror.
?It is so cool to see these guys back when they have been around so long.?
Guns N? Roses keyboard player Dizzy Reed recently hinted a band comeback is close, too.
?With GNR, timelines don?t really apply,? Dizzy told Loudwire.
?And that?s fine, things will come out when they?re ready and we?ll go on tour when we?re ready??
Even Slash, who refused to speak with Axl, has painted the singer in a more positive light.
?There?s no animosity. Over time we all just got sick and tired of the black cloud,? Slash said in an interview with CBS.
?The biggest thing that happens when you have a break up that is less than harmonious, you build up a bad energy because of the distance. The bad feelings get exaggerated.

Star Wars Album Covers (http://imgur.com/gallery/pYGoB)
Confession... I've never seen all three of the original star wars movies, only one of the "new" star wars movies, and will never see the "new new" star wars movies.
the original three were works of master storytelling, film art.They're nerd crap made for children.
I'm guessing Force Awakens will be an entertaining re-fresh like the Chris Pine iteration of Star Trek. It will be fun, the fx will be solid, everyone will walk out happy, and we'll all move on to the next thing in our lives.
I don't think it will cause the lifelong memories of the original trio (which I will always have, having been 7 years old when Star Wars came out) nor the anguish, rage or debates of the Crap Three. It'll be fine and because I will smoke four pounds of weed before seeing it, I'll be able to watch it entirely anew in about six months.
Just found out Dry the river have called it quits.. bummerOh, actual musicological banter in the Musicological banter thread as opposed to waxing poetic about loser nerd crap? What a droll idea, dear Kosmo.

Besides, my mind is swiss cheese.Might be time to stop doing drugs.
Star Wars and Metallica fans are the same: die hard fans that never stop talking about their first three albums, have been disappointed with everything since then and are always hopeful the next release will redeem them.
ok both for Walky and the SK fans

Gaz Coombes will soon be announcing some US tour dates, hopefully it's not one of those NYC/LA type tours...
All sorts going down, New S E record done and in the bag, June release via SMR (Vinyl and CD) very very pleased with it, Rose just gets better by the day and the bass aint half bad either. Monti helped with this one so expect a smattering of noisy fills and some other tasty shit. 50 one off and individual Lino print Anomalies T shirts are in the to do tray, more on those soon. Working on a conceptual S E project to, very cool idea that will either be brilliant or awesome if we get it sorted, gonna try and publish it before the Anomalies album is released, gonna take some doing but we have the ways and Mont's Bentley Mega Comp with us atm...Will turn up everything there is to turn up...
Working on some new tracks with Preston Maddox as well that are just fucking awesome, looking for an album release this year. Not sure what it'll be called but I think you'll be digging it this summer, I'm loving what we have so far...
Monti and I have made an album that is dark n moody as fuck, we've just gotta to mix it which Mont thinks will take an hour. Looking to publish twenty minutes after that is sorted. Bax named us M.A.D (work it out) that is sticking. That Rose is featured too, def one to dip into any goody bag and zone the fuck out to.... Love.
Other shit going down that I can't speak of just yet but yeah, it's cool

http://www.playboy.com/articles/cassettes-experimental-music-labels-and-guardians-of-the-galaxy-fansDear God, you're actually reading Playboy for the articles. We are through the looking glass here, people!
Playboy drops nudity, and starts writing articles about cassettes? And mentions saxophonist/electronic musician Andrew Bernstein of Horse Lords (and solo) and with links to his crazy music?
my father in law commented about this while i was watching the super bowl with him...wow, wouldn't have pegged him as a Andrew Bernstein fan?
are there any musicians on this board? preferably someone around my age (old) who is still learning or been playing less than a year?

. Kids simply love to play an electric guitar turned way the hell up.I think that's universal
I play guitar. My frequency of playing comes and goes, but I've been back to playing most every day for a year or so. Have always wanted to take lessons but never got around to it. So instead I either figure out how to play songs I want to play or I put a song on the boombox and play along with it. I was always able to play along with White Stripes records really well.I had taken two months worth of lessons about 3 years ago, with intermittent playing since then, Recently I've been putting more focus on it and plan on signing back up for lessons, figure out what my goals are, etc. Having no family or responsibilities that normal adults have I'm able to put some time into it.

The Lucy Dacus star seems to be rising quicklySeeing her for the first time reminded me of seeing Waxahatchee (with a band) for the first time. You just knew, a year from then Eternal Summers and Wildhoney would be opening for her. Really, really good.

cool little story (http://gothamist.com/2016/02/22/cbgb_awning_mystery_solved.php) about the CBGB's awninglol, I remember seeing JFA in 1987. they do the best cover of the Charlie Brown theme song
this was funny: Louise Staley, who was head booker and basically ran the club from 1986 until the last day, told me it's long been believed that the band Jody Foster's Army (JFA) stole the original awning after their gig in the 1980s?"rumor has it they hung it in their backyard." This was backed up by others at the club, though JFA never responded to my request for comments and confirmation (no one's going to arrest you guys!).

What happened to movie soundtracks? They used to rule in the 90s and even a tiny bit into the 2000s, but now???
I am talking about soundtracks like Clerks, Trainspotting, the Crow, Spawn, Demon Knight, High Fidelity, Velvet Goldmine, Garden State, Singles, Reality Bites, Blade 1 and 2, Judgement Night, CB4, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, Lost Highway, Love and a 45, Empire Records, Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums...
NBK had (I skipped a few tracks here):
Leonard Cohen ? "Waiting for the Miracle" (My introduction to Leonard Cohen)
L7 ? "Shitlist" (my introduction to L7)
Patti Smith ? "Rock N Roll ____" (Flood Remix) (my introduction to Patti)
Cowboy Junkies ? "Sweet Jane" (Great song. I love the dialogue from the movie)
Bob Dylan ? "You Belong to Me" One of the only Dylan songs that I like (though probably because of this movie)
Nine Inch Nails ? "Burn" (great song)
Patsy Cline ? "Back in Baby's Arms" (not my thing but good song)
Nine Inch Nails ? "Something I Can Never Have" (Edited And Extended) (Another great nin song)
Juliette Lewis ? "Born Bad"
Dr. Dre ? "The Day the ____ Took Over" (good Dre track. awesome use of it in the movie)
Lard ? "Forkboy" (awesomeness)
Nine Inch Nails ? "A Warm Place"
Leonard Cohen ? "The Future" (Again, my introduction to Leonard Cohen)
Tha Dogg Pound ? "What Would U Do?" (straight up dope ass 90s west coast flavor)
To you it might be whatever, I do not know, but to me, the soundtrack and movie, were very influential.
Lard ? "Forkboy" (awesomeness).one of Al's best side projects only to be rivaled by 1000 Homo Djs and Pailhead
L7 ? "Shitlist"my favorite L7 moment it's their portrayal of the band "Camel Lips" in Serial Mom
Airheads. The Basketball Diaries.... So what happened with soundtracks?
For sure! His new one sounds pretty dope as well, it is called Surgical Meth Machine.Lard ? "Forkboy" (awesomeness).one of Al's best side projects only to be rivaled by 1000 Homo Djs and Pailhead

Buzzfeed quiz: What Percent Music Snob Are You? (http://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/what-percent-music-snob-are-you#.un6EBZZm8)apparently I know very little about music
Warning: the questions seem to go on forever....
I got bored by the first three questions and stopped the quiz...
only 70% - disappointing.
Don?t get me wrong, I have enormous respect for the Stones. Their music is undeniable and will forever be legendary. But what Audioslave did almost 11 years ago should not be overlooked.
update from Houndmouth:
This is not the easiest news to share, but Katie Toupin is parting ways with Houndmouth. This is an amicable split, and Katie plans to pursue other opportunities.
We (Matt, Shane, and Zak) wish Katie the absolute best in all her future endeavors and want to thank her for the years we spent together as bandmates and, more importantly, friends. When we all first met as teenagers, we never dreamed that music would bring the four of us together and take us as far as it has. It?s been a long journey, and the time has come for our paths to split. We encourage everyone reading this to continue to support her.
FROM KATIE: I am incredibly thankful for all of our fans. Your relentless support has meant the world. We have been through so much together as a band, and none of it would have happened without the fans. I want to wish Houndmouth continued success. I would also like to ask the fans to continue to support me, along with the boys, as we go our separate ways

I have some weird and gross news. After some debate, we decided to make this public so hopefully other bands don?t get cheated, ignored, then threatened.
Recently, I was asked to play a solo show in los angeles on june 11 by a promoter named
Jesse "Boredom" Torres who put on shows under Death By Boredom
https://www.facebook.com/deathbyboredumb/
i had not played a solo show in several years and told him that this would take a lot of work for me to rehearse and prepare.
because of the amount of work this would be i would need a decent fee. i asked for a guarantee of $1000. he agreed.
for this show i would need to practice 5 days a week, 3 hours a day for a month. that is 60 hours.
$1000 divided by 60 hours is $16.66 an hour. minimum wage on los angeles is $10.00 an hour.
not terrible, but certainly not amazing or excessive for the number of hours this would take.
after the show i ask Jesse to be paid.
he said i have $820 for you.
i told him to pay pal the rest right now please.
he said no.
i asked him to swear on his mothers grave to get it to me by the end of the week and that i would not have to chase him for it.
he agreed and said he of course would pay me the rest by the end of the week.
i did not hear from him so i called to check in. no answer. i text. no answer. i email. no answer.
i tried all these things 4 or 5 more times over the next couple of weeks. no answer. my attorney writes him a letter, still no reply.
he was clearly trying to sneak away and hope i would give up.
at this point it was not about the money (but i could use that remaining $180).
it was about being lied to, ignored and cheated. he could have just been honest and said, i don't have it, i am broke and i never will, i'm sorry.
but instead, he continued to ignore me completely.
angela from xiu xiu began asking around and found out that his not paying bands in a frequent behavior of his.
apparently he does this all the time.
so far this is just annoying and irritating. but nothing worse.
i decided to go to jesse's next show and talk to him in person. this was last friday night.
when i arrive at the show i tell him i'd like the rest of the money he owes me.
he starts shouting at me that we did not promote the show and that he does not have to pay me.
(we did promote the show on our sites like we do all our other shows, and also HE is the "promoter.")
he shouts he paid me $900 and that is enough. i said he was lying about the amount and then he shouted he paid us almost $900.
he said he did not pay the the other bands at all and i should be glad i got what i got. how this helps his case i am not sure?
then he shouted he spent $300 to promote the show. i asked where? then he shouted he paid $400 to promote the show. i asked where again and he shouted he spent $500 to promote the show.
things became even uglier.
he began to yell "FUCK YOU" to me over and over, shoved his middle finger an inch away from my face several times.
then ran up to me menacingly and threatened to hit me.
baffled that he is angry and wants to physically hurt me because he broke our agreement and tried to hide from his obligation, i told him as much. he replied again by yelling
"FUCK YOU JAMIE" and again got an inch from my face literally puffing his chest out with his fists balled.
the staff of non plus ultra, where the show was held, came up to calm the situation and kindly offered to pay me what i was owed. i thanked them for but declined as it was not their responsibility. to be clear, the people from non plus ultra had no idea that Jesse regularly did not pay bands up until now, and had nothing to do with this.
this not about the money but about being lied to, stolen from and in the end threatened physically.
if you are in a band, please consider not doing shows with death by boredom.
if you go to shows, please consider boycotting death by boredom.
if you run a show space please consider not doing business with death by boredom.
I am going to refrain from talking about my personal life on here.
Kind of weird he has to put that kind of prep time in to play his own songs acoustic. . .

I care more about her opinion than yours.
I thought it was interesting that she commented on the song, that is all.
Gutfield jumped in again to resume his slamming of the Peppers. ?The ape is better than Anthony Kiedis. By the way, the ape is 45, which is half the age of Anthony Kiedis. Red Hot Chili Peppers, poor man?s Faith No More, don?t ever forget it.?
Gutfeld -for Fox- has some edge.. he's had Lydon on his show...the dude from the Melvins etc...
I happen to love the new Chili Peppers record though....
Are The Specials still bringing it?

11/21 Get Better film
http://frank-turner.com/
Get Better is a year long character study of one of the hardest working musicians on earth. Encompassing footage from friends, family and fans across England, Europe and the USA, film maker and friend Ben Morse set out to capture a band who are constantly in motion, only to find that they suddenly stopped. Forced to pause for the first time in ten years, the film explores what drives a man to stay on the road, and what that means for his life and those around him.
^ ouch on your JAMC w/o Psychocandy commentary...that's gotta hurt
quite a few gay people, are into jam bands and love going to see jam band concerts . . . but I feel that quite a few people who also go see jam shows, do not like gay people.I think Yada has to refute this or it is in fact true

My personal belief (however misguided) is that people who are into jam bands...often have very lame and very narrow musical taste (yada excluded...kinda ;) )
well truth be told . . . the same thought I have, can be said about metal concerts and their fans . . . country concerts and their fans . . . bluegrass concerts and their fans . . . rap concerts and their fans. I just saw, said behavior at various jam shows and lot scenes, I have been to over the years, and I was going / following at least 6 or 7 different bands over the years.
Maybe stick to the Morrissey lot scene for that gay friendly vibe?No dice. They're going to be rude to Walkie because he's not Latino gay. :(
Can someone explain the hate for Belle and Sebastian's "Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant"? Everyone seems to say it's a dud. I really, really don't get that. I think it's wonderful.I think it has three or four of their absolute best songs (Woman's Realm, The Model, Family Tree et al) but also some total duds. I think more of it as uneven than bad.
I Fought in a War is the only song I like.. the only one that recalls Belle and Sebastian...You don't like woman's realm or The Model? Those are honestly in my top 5 B+S songs all time.
I cannot stand the album..

That's what I thought. I'll take Nick Lowe over Elvis on any song, any day of the week. I love the fat drummer in that video. When was the last time you saw a fat drummer?
Just remember this moment in a few years when both Neko Case and Raffi have been gunned down as a result of this music feud.
Honestly a murderous rap battle seems cooler than 2 musicians having a kid together. Avril Lavigne and the Nickleback guy already did that and that kid sucks.Just remember this moment in a few years when both Neko Case and Raffi have been gunned down as a result of this music feud.

I feel like any perceived reduction in prickliness in Space is the result of Space passing off much of his prickliness as his child's. There's the same prickliness, we're just mentally dividing it up between two people in our minds now.

Fogerty might not own the rights to Proud Mary. He does not own the rights to most (if not all) of his music from the 60s. His 60s record label Fantasy owns the rights. Up until the 2000s, he either could not or would not play the songs live.
"Today, in the age of Facebook, Google and Amazon, it's hard to tell how a new and growing musical artist could make it in the way we did," Young wrote. "The Tech Giants have figured out a way to use all the great music of everyone from all time, without reporting an artist's number of plays or paying a f--king cent to the musicians. Aren't they great companies!!! It makes you wonder where the next generation of artists will come from. How will they survive?"

edit...this was from 5 years ago
AKA "no shit sherlock". every band with a wall of speaker cabinets behind them is using them as stage props. even *if* they are real Marshall cabs, with actual speakers inside them, they aren't plugged in and powered by an amp - but generally they're pure props. having an wall of actually plugged-in stacks makes no sense technically, musically, logistically nor financially. this article is the equivalent of "exposing" the lip-syncing of boy-bands or pop-tarts.this I did not know...I can see in a stadium why a bunch of marshal stacks wouldn't really work
that being said, i shit on this band for not even slapping some black-painted particle board across the back of those fake cabs. that's just sloppy. amateurs.

so this was kind of the end for me with Soul Asylum, but really loved the story about Runaway Train and the actual impact it had on finding kidsThat is really cool. Soul Asylum, like, legitimately made the world a better place. Too bad they’ve never had a female member and therefore are monsters.

Music video for 'Runaway Train' turns 25. New version uses modern technology to find missing kids (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/22/us/runaway-train-turns-25-trnd/index.html?)
The technology uses an individual's IP address to find out their general location. In the case of missing children, the video inserts the children that went missing closest to a viewer's area.
The original video helped recover 21 missing children, according to the NCMEC.
Even though the video only shows a handful of children, it was recut and released every time a child was found, resulting in multiple versions.
this just sold for $22k!

still would be cool to have him at a house party
wonder what he charges -$5k?
I clicked this thread thinking for sure Julian was going to report Bieber's Lyme disease...
And then I was going to ask the question about Canadian Pop Stars and Lyme disease.
And then Sweetcell was provide some link to some bullshit Maple Rag about why Canadians have a higher propensity to get Lyme disease because they're so much nicer than everyone else....
I actually like DM, just don't think they are RRHOF material is all...but obviously I'm in the minorityThat's kind of an insane take. They're highly influential, sold over 100 million records, had a style that merged multiple types of music in a way that continues to get copied 40 years later, had hits in three decades, and continue to sell out enormodomes in year 40 of their existence.
The RNR HoF is stupid
This we can all agree onThe RNR HoF is stupid
Amazingly stupid, in fact.

It's also why you'll hear certain radio stations in places like doctor's office, although I'm not sure how prevalent this is anymore... but certain stations provide a service where a business can broadcast it and not run a foul of the licensing org as the station pays the fees and pass along costs to businesses.I'd bet 9 times out of 10 they are breaking a law they didn't realize exists

Here's the music listicule sure to be making the rounds today... never heard the term landfill indie before or of some of the bands on the list but i guess that's part of the point of the list.. and some of these bands have done twitter listening parties recently so there is staying power of sorts
Little Man Tate is probably my most favorite group listed here

not sure what Jules will be tipping seeing as it's Canadian, but 89X is now Pure Country 89Oh man that’s a bummer. It was so weird moving away from there for the first time (back in the terrestrial radio days) and discovering the rest of America did not know who The Tragically Hip, Sloan, or Finger Eleven were and that Our Lady Peace was not a megaband. People thought Crash Test Dummies were a one-hit wonder!

Are they now the arbiter of who can do a Dylan cover commercially? Can they license Blowin' In The Wind to a Propecia commerical?already did it for Bud in a Superbowl ad, I was thinking Latuda would be a better fit
I feel like I should probably understand this better already but why would someone want to buy this? Like, how does UM monetize this? Do they get part of the royalties every time his song is played? Are they now the arbiter of who can do a Dylan cover commercially? Can they license Blowin' In The Wind to a Propecia commerical?
(I understand there is not a straight "you played Bob Dylan on spotify 4 times so he gets 5 cents per play" model with streamers.)
I think he sold it all off...publishing , copyrights..
It’s a great end of life kind of decision .. the kind any responsible father should make
I also read his heirs under US law could buy it back in 35 years
It’s really made me sad.. cause it’s the kind of thing you do when you are straightening out your affairs before dying
I also was shocked to learn he owns the publishing for “The Weight”!
That’s a big one
I guess drawing that cover for music from the big pink was worth it!!
It’s possible we have seen the last of Bob Dylan live... pisses me off FWB messed up my tickets for his last anthem show.. really angers me..

what continues to blow my mind about artists like Dylan (especially him), Neil Young, etc... I've listened to these artists for upwards of 30 years (some of you I'm sure a lot longer), but I still discover new songs that absolutely slay me. The most recent example is Dylan's track "Making a Liar Out of Me" from volume 13 of The Bootleg Series. Wow.
Cross posting to the movie thread...
Just watched the documentary Dennis and Lois on Prime and would recommend as an 90 minutes very well spent. It’s about two serious music fans of Manchester bands in particular who have attended thousands of shows since the days of CBGBs. They once sold Ramones t-shirts and you get to see them hanging with lots of great bands. Fun little movie about ordinary people who really enjoy live music

RHCP going for cold hard cash

Got me wondering if I should add some Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited (SONG.L) to my investment portfolio?
It’s also kind of saying they accept they have peaked and aren’t going to add much to their legacy..they are saying their stock is as high as it ever will be and it’s downhill from hereI mean they really have. They can still tour and make a few mil every few years if they want too
Flea is 58!!!!These two things go hand in hand. Every rock artist in history peaked by 35 (virtually all by 30, honestly) and went downhill after that.
...
It’s also kind of saying they accept they have peaked and aren’t going to add much to their legacy..they are saying their stock is as high as it ever will be and it’s downhill from here
If RHCP came out with another great album they will add to their legacy and expand the value of their previous stuff.I think we are talking about different things. The RHCP's creative peak -- a band I don't care for, just for the record -- was a long time ago. The music they make now is not as good, nor will resonate as much with people, as they music they made a long time ago. There is a zero percent chance they make music in the future that tops their previous high-water mark. This is not unique to the RHCP.
People are living longer....we could have 30 more years of RHCP
I am not even a huge fan
But if we use this criteria every major artist should sell out NOW
Not necessarily true... it could happen that the new RHCP album gets them a new generation of fans.. it’s very unlikely though...Very unlikely they get a new generation of fans. Absolutely impossible that anything they put out at 58 tops their current creative peak as 58 is a larger number than 30.
I find it sad.. why shouldn’t Phoenix do it next? Or LCD Soundsystem?I think if you view music rights as a commodity, there is a couple factors at play. Pretend music rights are a race horse. You have this race horse and it won two of its first three races and placed in its other one. Do you sell the race horse right now or do you hold on to it because it may be worth more down the road? What if you sell the race horse and then it wins the Kentucky Derby? These are the same heuristics in play with music rights.
How much would have Bob Dylan gotten for his catalog in 1997 before Time Out of Mind? He was washed up at 46...Dude. No one bought the Dylan catalogue because they want to put Time Out of Mind songs in a commercial. Be real.
But what he has done since 1997 has appreciated his whole catalogYeah, he's a super outlier. This is not the arc 99.999999% of bands music rights valuations go.
Nobody knew he would win the Nobel for literature

Anyone else watch the "This Is Pop" documentary series on Netflix?
Overall I would give it a B as some episode were far more interesting then others.
As mentioned in the Listening to thread, the one that turned to probably the best was the "When Country Goes Pop" hosted by Orville Peck. The Britpop episode was weighed down by the umpteenth rehashing of the Oasis vs Blur chart battle, etc.
The Protest song episode had the usual suspects Billy Bragg talking about Woody Guthrie, Public Enemy, etc. But did include MILCK "Quiet" song which was a great addition. The episode on festivals was ok, except for the bit on the US festival.
The episodes on Boyz II Men and the Swedish Songwriters\Producers cranking many of the current hits didn't really reveal anything groundbreaking.
Also, to treat New Edition as a passing comment in the Boyz II Men episode was criminal and probably why I stuck so far at the bottom.

fourth solo: uh... "a few seconds later"? how convenient to skip THE OTHER NOTES. FAIL.
fifth solo: legit. WIN.

Hmm. My neighbor hosts a weekly rehearsal of his Beach Boys cover band (or Journey if that's what you prefer). I guess I'll cancel the surprise forum meetup at his house...will astrolab be on tap? then I might reconsider

David Bowie’s estate sells his ‘entire’ songwriting catalogue to Warner Music (https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/01/03/david-bowie-catalog-warner-music/)
“These are not only extraordinary songs, but milestones that have changed the course of modern music forever,” Guy Moot, co-chair and chief executive of Warner Chappell, said in a news release. “Bowie’s vision and creative genius drove him to push the envelope, lyrically and musically — writing songs that challenged convention, changed the conversation, and have become part of the canon of global culture.”
Pffft more like 2022!

I saw David Byrne's American Utopia in NYC this weekend. I fucking loved it. I missed his show at Anthem in 2018 and prior to Covid getting tickets to it was quite a feat, and generally an expensive one. I finally won the ticket lottery they have (lost count how many times I entered between 2019 and now). I would have loved it if I paid $150. It was nice to feel jubilant.The show at The Anthem was one of the best concerts I ever went to. I'd love to go see it again.
If you feel comfortable travelling, I highly recommend. As an alternative, HBO offers a screening of the Spike Lee directed production (filmed pre Covid). Move the furniture as you'll be dancing in your living room.

Thanks for the heads up on it being on HBO. I had this on my list of things to watch, but didn't realize it was streaming already.
Is there difficulty in getting tickets right now? There seem to be plenty available at face online. Or am I missing something.
I'd love to see it live, and we discussed it for a hot minute. Unless my wife insists on going to NYC, I don't think i have the energy or desire to do the drive in the dead of winter.

If there is a presale, can you go to box office and buy the tickets and just give them verbally the password for the presale?I've never heard of anyone doing this so likely not.

You absolutely can't verbally give a password at the box office. If there's that much pent up demand, by the time the grumpy window worker has you repeat the password three times, writes it down, spells it wrong, then again for the second time, your tickets will be long gone.

Some presales- typically for the highest demand shows - have a certain number of tickets allocated….

Goddamn, I’m going to have to switch from Spotify to AppleMusic now, aren’t I?so did you actually do this or was this a little virtue signaling

The inclusion of Dolby ATMOS is interesting to me. When watching the video of a live performance with ATMOS, your mind understands the movement of the sound because you can physically see where the sound is coming from on the screen. When just listening, I do wonder if I'm going to appreciate it as much or just find it annoying. Will have to check it out tomorrow as 9PM is too late to night to crank it up.

like every third tweet now is how much people are changing the world by canceling spotify
Is the box office even open at 10AM when they start?. That being said most of the time general ticket sales start at 10AM but our box office opens at 12PM M-F
and pay all the bs service charges.hey, they are convivence fees
Didn't take that capitalist Neil too long to hop on Sirius!im surprised there is zero action (AFAIK) by another big artist
I mean another reason to ditch Spotify is by how very little they pay their artists. I believe it’s .003 to .005 cents per stream played.THIS is a good reason, but that is not the reason people are doing it, nor exclaiming their virtuosity
Apple Music pays .01 per stream in comparison (plus it’s much easier to AirPlay to my setup).
And yes I’m a total Qobuz fanboy,well I guess neil is a fan too
this interests me…. Almost the main reason I didn’t want to leave
There are a least couple sites offering the ability to transfer\sync playlists between the two services.
Before we go any further down this path, has anyone confirmed Qobuz is even a word that can be played in Wordle or is this all a giant scam?
I'm partly worried about podcasts. A few of my regular listens just went to "spotify exclusive", but I don't know how far that really goes
Hope all those tech bros are enjoying all the money laundering going onding!
Well, I got an ACTUAL NFT directly from ROB THOMAS because somehow I wound up on his email list. So there's that.

Update: Qobuz doesn't have podcasts.
Podcasts actually sound better at a lower bit rate.
the whole point of NFTs were the artists would benefit from their sale..
They also have the ire of David LowryWell now they're really in for it!

if you paid 1 mill for a bored ape #324ahh, so I now sell it to myself
Soundiiz is mentioned on Qobuz’s website for playlist transfer
https://soundiiz.com/qobuz
There are a bunch of others out there with both free and premium plans
Since I’m not a big playlist user, I’ve never tried any of these, but might give one a shot because I’m interested in checking out actor Robert Carlyle’s playlists he calls Saturday Tunes. Where he highlights a variety of tracks of up and coming Uk bands.

Sorry, missed this. I use Soundiiz often and like it. I don't pay for it - I only use it a couple times a week.
I am not a paying member of Spotify, but I use it to create collab playlists for a few local bars and restaurants. When we're done I transfer those playlists to my preferred paid subscription service to listen to later. I also do it for other interesting playlists that I read/hear about...

knowing jules IRL, i suspect he's under the median age of this board... but not by tons. i suspect he was born in the 80's. year of the cat came out in 1976. if he didn't grow up around a lot of classic rock/pop i could see him not being aware of who al stewart was. it's a mild indictment of his late-20th century pop music awareness, but pretty sure he can live with that.

I may still have the 45 of Year of the Cat somewhere in my house, assuming my wife didn't throw out my record collection. I didn't have Time Passages though.I know that little about Al, that didn't even know he had anything else people liked
Try either Songkick.com or Bandsintown.com.. both should have the same info, but I prefer the layout of Songkick and it gives in some cases how a show is selling
It's annoying that the two tracks done with Ranking Roger at the time are being released on a separate 7" and not included as part of even the CD release.this annoyed me too, not sure why they didn't include it
They have done a Sandinista deluxe?so instead of 3 slabs it's 12 ;)

Pavement say it would be “total cringe” if they recorded new music
“Although an acetate version, which was made from these master tapes, was released for the 45th anniversary of the album, it is of a different sonic quality, given the generation loss inherent in an analog copy,” according to the museum press release
Do they really even know what they have?

One of the world's most enigmatic musicians, David Sylvian shares thoughts and ideas in a specially recorded Audio Diary for the show, his first public dialogue for around fifteen years. Mary Anne will be celebrating his incredible body of work in a special “Spirit of Sylvian” show featuring artists who've influenced him, contemporary musicians he's inspired, his own collaborations and solo work, and music she’d like to play to David.

Well, you see, the Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts happened recently and those other concerts you listed . . . did not.this is a defensible list:
I will let you defend "Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts" over say the US Festival, Woodstock, countless Vans/Warped/Lolla Tours, Clash of the Titans, etc....
So any reaction to the new Iggy record? Personally I feel it's a good but not great listen, feels far to polish and overblown to me. It feels like it's missing some of the swagger and cheek of his earlier records. Plus, I feel there is no irony when the song "The Regency" which includes the lyric "Fuck The Regency" repeated 23 times was recorded with a bunch of wealthy rockers...
That said, I found nothing Polish about it or in it.
Well, you see, the Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts happened recently and those other concerts you listed . . . did not.
One primarily for the guitar gearheads, but worthy of a watch for the casual listener...
Stumbled upon a electroacoustic harpist named Emily Hopkins who runs her harp which has pickups inside it through guitar effects pedals, i.e. wha wha, distortion the lot...
anyways Emily now gets pedals all the time to evaluate including recently a Talk Box which is that effect with the tube made famous by Zapp, Frampton,
This video is a fun watch because when she unboxes the Talk Box she has no idea what to make of it
https://youtu.be/U4gTTFNgUkY
also worth the watch another recent one involving putting a whammy bar on her harp

I'm pretty sure Zapp used a vocoder instead of a talkbox. Or did Roger used both?

Can someone take the plunge and listen to Cigarettes After Sex? The description of the band on Spotify broke me...
I’m sure cigarettes before sex are alright but this makes my head hurtWhoever wrote this has jacked off while watching Breathless, I guarantee.
The music of Cigarettes After Sex invokes not only the powerful feelings of euphoria inherent in the band’s name itself, but somehow manages to recreate emotions found only in the most romantic of movies; immersive, achingly nostalgic, thoroughly transporting, and intensely visual.

Really think you need to keep both accounts active. Over time, slowly develop different personalities and posting styles for each.
It just never really gelled with him…he was never accepted around here. People kept calling him Hutch, he freaked, found me in retirement and it wasn’t pretty. He yelled at me Seth would see him at Anthem and call him “Hutch” when he was out there working tickets- look he blew through his savings and had to take a job/ and he just couldn’t take it anymore. He tried to kill me and it was kill or be killed. Swear.

They should banter about it back and forth like a buddy-cop comedy, but about two guys listening to vinyl records.Really think you need to keep both accounts active. Over time, slowly develop different personalities and posting styles for each.

To be fair, I am more familiar with their 90s output. (I don’t think I’ve ever heard their stuff from the 80s.) So perhaps there was a shift in their sound, but none of the 90s stuff made me think cowpunk.The Femmes are cowpunk? OkaaaaaayThe Meat Puppets were the more WTF entry for me.
From the Meat Puppets Wiki:
Meat Puppets II turned the band into one of the leading bands on SST Records, and along with the Violent Femmes, the Gun Club and others, helped establish the genre called "cow punk".

It was pointed out since it was a civil trial he was found not liable for copyright infringement and some are hoping this sets a precedent against these types of lawsuitsWhat? This is not how “precedent” works. That’s like saying someone was found not-guilty of murder so all murder trials are now cancelled.

I own no Elton John albums, never seen him in concert and yet I know far more of his hits then one would expect. So only exposure would be 70s/80s radio, TV and probably movies.Grocery stores, man. Elton John is a top-3 grocery store artist all-time. Arguably #2 behind just Mariah Carey.
On the other hand even if Kosmo don’t own his albums wasn’t Elton the top selling act in America during the 1970s?

Paisley imagined McDonald was in his 40s and had blond hair. She even drew a pencil sketch of what she imagined his face looked like.
But last summer, Paisley searched for McDonald on Google and saw he had white hair and wrinkles. In distress, she ran to her mom’s room crying, “No!”

Q: Should I see Dylan Meyerhoff?? I have seen him in like 2004, at I think it was George Mason. My wife has never seen him and is aware of his current "sound".
Q2:I like a lot of his late-era work, how does he deliver live on it at this point?
Q3+: He's doing two nights, is one likely to be better than the other? Is he more likely to be less into a second night, or is it more of a situation that they'll have fully dialed in the sound on night two? (I'm really just trying to avoid an afternoon drive from College Park to Baltimore).

I can't possibly be the only Suicide fan on this board.
Q1-Yes, expect him on piano for the most part. Caution: some folks aren't fans of his phrasing-I like it as long has he brings the energy. He'll make one of his standards sound new!
Q2- He's playing 9 songs from the new record and then a smattering..Basically the same list every night i.e. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bob-dylan/2023/capitol-theatre-port-chester-ny-43a1a30f.html. If you're a Grateful Dead fan, he's got three of their songs in the rotation.
Q3-Agree with Hutch^and Saturday works better for me.
Q3-approx. $2,500 capacity; any seat's a good one
he sounds bad and you can't tell what songs he's playing...I think that my wife's only disappointment is that he probably won't play Maggie's Farm.

https://www.mensjournal.com/news/bono-surprises-chicago-bar-patrons-christmas-carolsTo be fair, Bono assuming everyone in a bar would like him to get up and start singing Christmas carols despite no one asking him to do so very, very, very much tracks.
It’s hard to finish Bono’s autobiographyIf you think that’s bad, try any of his songs written in the last thirty years.

Rumors of a Dead & Co (w/Mayer) residency at the Sphere ::)
Wow…7 out of the next 9 events at the club are dance partiesThis feels like a slow time of year for touring. Don't most bands want to be with their families/friends this time of year, not on the road.
I hope I see more shows in 2024…has potential with Ride/Charlatans in January, Cat Power, Echo and the Bunnymen and Belle and Sebastian already on the calendarLooking forward to echo

An Ode to “Sister Ray”: The Velvet Underground At Their Most Violent
Theo Lengyel, once an integral member of the avant-garde jazz-metal group Mr. Bungle, is now a murder suspect accused of killing his girlfriend.I really hope this is not going to sully the otherwise pristine reputation of avant-garde jazz metal musicians everywhere as a result.
I didn't realize I was playing it wrong the whole time, what great album art

The Plimsouls buried at the bottom of that 80s show at the Anthem doesn’t involve Peter Case, just Eddie Munoz the lead guitarist.
Per the Wikipedia
In 2016 Muñoz registered a trademark for the band's name, and has been touring as the Plimsouls without Case, Pahoa, or Ramirez. This was all done without Peter Case’s blessing.
i recently bought myself a guitar as a birthday present. the missus had some... questions about my purchase. luckily i did my research in advance, and when she questioned my so-called extravagance i quickly pointed out that, while expensive, it wasn't one of the The 14 most expensive guitars of all time (https://www.guitarworld.com/features/most-expensive-guitars-sold-at-auction). some beauts on that list...
What guitar did you buy?

If you loved ‘college rock’ R.E.M., Shiny Happy People (and Stand before it) and the goofy showman persona big label Stipe took on (and the new fanbase) were impossible to process . . .but Shiny Happy People really is a great song . . .and with a few tweeks really wouldn’t be out of place on Life’s Rich Pageant.I prefer the Sesame Street re-recording.

1st 5 albums flawless. After that a steady spiral downward.There’s definitely some amazing songs after the first five records but this is essentially how I think of REM.
Fairly certain even Green Day wouldn’t use “ The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.” as the chorus of a song..Correct -- this is smarter than all of their lyrics from American Idiot onward.

There are no wrong answers but I think the original Banned In DC is vastly superior. A thermonuclear rollercoaster. The Big Bang. A perfect moment in time captured. And the shitty production actually isn’t so bad on that one.
Whereas the Rock for Light version is kind of watered down. Doesn’t quite have that lightning charge. Original guitar solo is also way better.

100% agree on the solo, enrgy is pretty tight on the rfl one tho
I'd really only knew the RfL version most of my life, so it's really hard to compare as that one was kind of an atom bomb to my 14 year old ears
I heard this funny story about how in the 90s who ever remastered RFL fucked up and the cd version is like 20% faster
then that leads into the era where it's ripped to sites like napster
So a whole generation of punks in the 90s-2000 became fans were doing these covers that were so much faster because the thought it was supposed to be that way
"The original mix was only available on the out-of-print PVC Records version and 1987 CD-versions until 2021."
I will say the moment I knew I was a ride or die Bad Brains fan is someone gave me a tape of Rat Music for Rat People
and their one two punch of live versions of How Low can a punk get and You (minute 13.26 (https://youtu.be/U9BfV_CYI7g?si=qPc2g6_YPHP8lG67)) just left my jaw on the floor and wanting more (with Circle Jerks - Live Fast Die Young proceeding them too!)
Little did I know that they were a NYC band and became hooked on Rfl and caught them on the I against I tour at some weird venue on long Island in front of the bay shore mall
I even bought a bad brains shirt with the cover of S/T (and didn't know that was what it was from)
(some ex-girlfriend swiped it...I got her Madonna tshirt ...so almost a fair trade as I still wear that shirt today, it's aged so well)

I will say this reissue punk note edition cover is killer (although not as cool as the original cover you referenced)

Noel has referred to Liam as being the tambourine player
I love Noel but think Liam is literally the worst frontman ever. He just stands immobile glaring at everyone.
Saw them at Patriot center when Ryan Adams opened and I had a great seat close up.
Oasis ain’t nothing but hype. I guess they never been anything else….
That whole drum channel is quite entertaining... just watched the megadeath/killers episode.
agreed. what a great concept: have a drummer improv a part upon first listen. i wonder if there are any attempts that got left on the cutting room floor, i.e. the drummer couldn't pull together something decent. i have to imagine the drummer has right of refusal (aka veto on airing a shitty attempt).
Bigger question is how a metal drummer hasn't listened to every Bonham song available.

Neil doesn’t do clubs.

Morrissey says he accepted a lucrative offer to reunite The Smiths and tour worldwide in 2025, but Johnny Marr turned it down.
A heart warming story about a musician with his 1000s of AI created songs and 10,000 listening bots which helped him rake in 10 million dollars

did you know that the Grammy award winning "who let the dogs out" wasn't even a Baja Men original, but a cover of an Ansem Douglas song!
hmm, is that because it was called "Quem deixou os cães saírem"did you know that the Grammy award winning "who let the dogs out" wasn't even a Baja Men original, but a cover of an Ansem Douglas song!
That’s a Jorge Ben song
Supergrass announce UK tour for 30th anniversary of "I Should Coco"
and per Mick "More dates in further flung places to come too." hopefully more flung places on this side of the big pond besides NYC/LA
Marr just clarified the Smith trademark issue among other things, seem like Morrissey need to some publicity...
In terms of the trademark issue, Marr said he only discovered that the Smiths did not own their name after a 2018 “attempt by a third party to use” it. Afterwards, he contacted Morrissey “via his representatives, to work together in protecting the Smiths’ name. A failure to respond led Marr to register the trademark himself. It was subsequently agreed with Morrissey’s lawyers that this trademark was held for the mutual benefit of Morrissey and Marr. As a gesture of goodwill, in January 2024, Marr signed an assignment of joint ownership to Morrissey. Execution of this document still requires Morrissey to sign.”

Lee “Scratch” Perry recording reggae versions of the Sex Pistols’ “Submission” and “Problems” during John Lydon’s trip to Jamaica in early 1978. The tracks were “not Perry’s best work and have yet to see the light of day.” (I was unable to secure a photo of JL and LSP, so here he is with Big Youth and a fun visor.)

I think TLDP should have owned it and been like, fuck those single creepy dudes, they better be able to name at least 3 of our songs before they get entry
Rock is far from dead...Thank you for all of that. Might be in the middle of a general dour cloud and sure I could listen to my liked songs on Spotify, but that feels a bit like having your favorite meal, for every meal, for a month straight. After awhile it's all a blur. It's nice to pick live peoples' brains for something new and interesting.
If you want a group that is appealing to an older and younger crowd try starting with DC's own Bad Moves, lots of classic 70s power pop influences in their early records
and honestly the new Jack White is just so very very good...
I also really like this EP from Starbelly's Cliff Hillis and Dennis Schocket they basically run the gamut of different flavors of power pop
https://cliffhillis.bandcamp.com/album/pop-girls-etc
and while it's controversial i still enjoy that car crash of a record by Liam Gallagher and John Squire...
latest Ash, Mysterines albums rock out as well..
Still checking out this Irish band called Bedrooms who are drawing comparisons to Galaxie 500 and Pavement.
https://bedroooms.bandcamp.com/album/perfectly-still
bunch of great bands from Philly as well... 2nd Grade, The Tisburys, Hurry, and The Blackburns
almost forgot but Shadow Show is a great Detroit based female garage rock inspired band
Hello Mary rocks pretty hard as well and looks like they have a new album on the way.
If rock isn’t dead cause of Ash, Squire, Liam and Jack White god help us…those dudes are pushing 25-35 years in music.Solid point. I mean, I think that the last rock revival was thanks to the rock music as video game craze and what bands emerged out of that. . ? Greta Van Fleet? I would hope that there are kids out there interested in musical instruments (being a band nerd adult), but there are folks out there using AI and calling themselves composers.
Johnny marr sold out warner for Sunday...only resale tix left
It's a rough time for The Flaming Lips as their drummer's daughter has gone missing.in good news
So how is SideWelshMusicAficionado feeling about underground rapper L E M F R E C K winning this years Welsh Music Prize? I'm listening today and it's worth listen. I was still working my way through the shortlist and finding some new interesting releases.where is his Welsh accent? I can actually understand what he is saying? Can you really be Welsh if Americans can understand you when you are talking?

You can only be called "Welsh" if you come from the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch region of Wales.

Van Halen reunion canceled after David Lee Roth refused to pay tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen, brother says
I do know I like the Roth era better than Haggar, although Sammy seems like a good dude (but maybe he isn't)

It was ~30 years ago and I can't find it, but I remember a journalist referring to Hagar as an "unmitigated asshole."

I like the whole ooh The Black Keys are returning to their hometown and play an intimate RSVP gig. Then people figuring it out it’s one of a cryptobro get out the vote events, run by the same org going after Sherrod Brown’s seat.
I guess getting that sweet crypto money and then posting about it and turning off comments was a crack management team decision.
Geepers poor dude
50,000 Oasis tickets being sold on secondary sites to be cancelled, which makes one wonder if their return was more popular with bots than actual fans...

In 1977, David Bowie released an album called Low.
Later that year, Nick Lowe responded by releasing an album named Bowi.

Oh Grammy's never change ;D
Best Rock Performance and Record Of The Year - The Beatles "Now And Then" - I had completely forgot this existed...
Best New Artist - Khruangbin - Yes I'm fully aware of Fountains Of Wayne getting this nomination for their third album
but on a positive note a couple nomination for the Kim Gordon album
and looks like The Black Puma streak has come to end...
Having only first heard of Sabrina Carpenter recently I had no idea she has released six albums for which of course means she gets nominated for a best new artist Grammy ::)Obviously you don’t have teenage girls in your house

Elvis Costello & The Attractions (on Tour in the USA) featured instead. Drummer Bruce Thomas wore a T-Shirt with "Thanks Malc", written on it.

I just feel like when you ask online about how to be introduced to new music, the answer is always, just make your own playlist.
.I did love this when they were doing this on spotify
Specifically, Bandsplain in its heyday, where they'd pick an artist and a handful of songs chronologically throughout the artist's catalogs and talk about the timeframe history of the band around time of the song and play the songs in full.
I will fully admin
Today I learned that one of my favorite musical geniuses Adrian Quesada along with Alexander Abraham are nominated for an Oscar for their song “Like A Bird” from the Sing Sing Soundtrack.
the black crows...really?Black Crows, yeah, might as well make sure Spin Doctors and Blind Melon get in too.
Mana? don't people have to actually know you to be 'famous'
Mana is a joke. Their record label must have put up serious Pachocha.FTFY
Best list in years.

OK so serious question that I should probably have already known the answer to:
I noticed for the last 2 bands I’ve seen that the drummer’s kit is mic’d to the wazoo. Like between 7 and 10 microphones, pointed at each drum, each cymbal and some “overhead” flying mics.
Are these for recording or just for the house mix?
If just for the PA, do they really use 7+ channels and adjust each individually? That seems like overkill
edit: space saw him at Iotaactually I don't think he did, but I did
