The Music Thread

[Lee]

Apple Music has had me re-discovering loads of stuff I'd half-forgotten about.

The last week has been about the new Libertines album, Anthems for Doomed Youth.

'You're My Waterloo' and 'Dead for Love' are cracking songs.

What are we listening to, lads?

[Magic]

Do you not like Gungadin?

[leedsrevolution]

I really like the new Libertines stuff. It's a solid album. Belly of the beast is my favourite.

[Reg]

I'm listening to Grandma's Hands as it popped up on my Discover Weekly Spotify playlist.

I had no idea that No Diggity (Blackstreet & Dre) sampled the intro.

[Lee]

Do you not like Gungadin?

I do, just more in the mood for the slower stuff at the minute.

[Demerit]

Apple music is excellent, give it a 20 minute listen every morning whilst I'm getting ready. It's essentially spotify, but its more intuitive to your tastes.

[CJay]

I do not like Apple Music in the slightest. I think it has a horrible design, it's slow, it's hard to navigate, and worst of all, combines my library with what I own and what I've downloaded to be available offline. As well as ruining the artwork for some of my music collection with it's iCloud thing.

[Vim]

Since a few weeks ago Spotify has a "Discover Weekly" feature, every Monday it makes a 30-song playlist with songs you should like given what you listen to. It's extremely useful, it gave me a lot of songs that I know I've heard before but had no idea of the title.

[Reg]

Mama Said by the Shirelles https://open.spotify.com/track/3lW1paWWplWJIDbQCSM288

I absolutely love this kind of music. Makes me want to live in the times it was around.

Here's a different version too. https://open.spotify.com/track/5rrXkymfQdhNBgBZ3BUVbB

[Blitz]

What's the difference between this thread, and "A thread (ten songs etc.)"?

[Raoul Duke]

10 songs is meant to be a #nowplaying kinda thing really. It's morphed into a general indie (ish) thread though.

[Blitz]

I see. Close enough to each other to use only the one though? Or do we have a moar freds>less freds policy?

[Reg]

Yeah I really didn't know which thread to use. Mods/the people can decide.

[Offshore Toon]

That thread became the indie thread because other genres had other threads. I keep forgetting to listen to The Libertines' new album. Been hearing good things, though.

[Benny]

Recently been listening to The Flatliners, which are a kinda punkier version of Gaslight Anthem, I guess. Really good though.

[Pen]

The Libertines new album had somehow passed me by completely. I need to get on that this weekend.

[Josh]

Will mostly be trying out the new Chrvches and Disclosure albums this weekend.

[Magic]

So I've been so struck by Benny Clementine I've actually went and bought his album. Yes, bought. First time since Chocolate Starfish. I feel...strange. Away to have a listen now. :drool:

[wullie]

He's got a hard act to follow.

[Magic]

:baz:

It only cost a fiver too as MP3 download from Amazon. I might buy C Duncan's album too.

[wullie]

I increasingly find that it's cheaper to buy the CD version over the mp3 on Amazon, which suits me as I prefer to have an actual thing when I'm paying for it but it doesn't feel like it makes sense.

[Magic]

£7.99 for the CD. £20 for the Vinyl. I'd love to be a vinyl pervert, though.

[igor_balis]

Can't remember the last time I paid for music, other than spotify or picking up stuff in charity shops. Probably some shite NME landfill-indie in 2005ish...maybe a Futureheads EP? Jesus.

Oh, and a few bits and pieces for relatives as half-baked presents - The Suburbs by Arcade Fire and The Hounds of Love by Kate Bush have been stocking fillers for my mother, and the ultimate very best definitive Rat Pack collection volume 8 for my nan.

[Spammer]

I actually think The Libertines' self-titled album was the last music I paid for, about ten years ago.

[phonics]

Last albums I bought were the year Virgin Megastores shut down. I absolutely raided them.

[igor_balis]

I actually think The Libertines' self-titled album was the last music I paid for, about ten years ago.

Ha, I downloaded that and Up The Bracket, but paid £5 on Ebay for a really badly made CD-R of 'B SIDES AND RARITIES'. I was a troubled teen.

[Magic]

God remember mooching about these shitty record stores looking for cool CDs with 'PARENTAL ADVISORY' on them? :drool:

[Spammer]

Anything with parental advisory was cool, in my book.

Limp Bizkit's 'Hot Dog' was the coolest song ever made for a while. Then it was "FUCKING FUCKING FUCK" by Splatpattern, and then I grew up.

I'd link to Splatpattern if I wasn't at work. It's on Youtube.

[igor_balis]

I never really had that phase - I skipped straight from musically disinterested weirdo to unbearable 'indie kid' when I was about 14, without the edgy splipknot and linkin park bit in-between.

[wullie]

I veered between everything at the same time, going from Ice Cube to a Divine Comedy track about some lovely leather books.

[phonics]

I went from Nu-Metal to Hip-Hop and never went back. What I'm trying to say is Linkin Park is my jam. I never liked to admit it when I was a teen afraid of being judged but Meteora is a pretty perfect album.

[Magic]

I loved the American 'fuck you' stuff (not extreme) but like Offspring, Green Day, Blink etc. That was before I got in to 'better' music like Libertines, Arctics etc. I was well in to heavier stuff at that time too though like Slipknot, Deftones, Papa Roach (:harold:). I got in to Coldplay for a bit too, rap was always a constant though. Then old stuff like Sabbath and The Who etc.

What I'm saying is I liked everything really apart from fucking pop.

[phonics]

"I hate pop music. Have you heard of that Coldplay?"

[Magic]

I meant the factory produced shit. At least Boreplay write their own shit.

[Magic]

REVIEW: At Least For Now - Benjamin Clementine

Beautiful album. He is some piano player, I suppose it's not technically the best and no mesmorising solos but the melodies go absolutely hand in hand with the mood and lyrics of the songs. It's an autobiography (is there a musical version of that term?) about his struggles in life and how he's fought through it (a bit more than a parent breakup or failing his GCSEs).

I just loved it. A must listen, to be honest.

[Boydy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK_0jXPuIr0

:rave:

[igor_balis]

Pop can be pretty great, even the heavily produced stuff, as long as the songwriting and production itself is good. See: Girls Aloud.

[Spammer]

Black Sabbath's Paranoid was a top, top fucking album, both when I was 14 and now.

[wullie]

I don't really care about whether a singer wrote or produced their own stuff, it's like farting about with organic food. A large amount of Motown was conveyor belt stuff, it took Stevie Wonder a few years to go free range.

[Magic]

It adds something for me, feels a bit more genuine and sincere. But it's only in manufactured pop that it highly fucks me off.

[wullie]

I've seen X-Factor enough to know that you just need to add a choir to any song and you can not only make it your own, but smash it at the same time. Comfort zone.

[igor_balis]

After discussing the shock at finding out a few albums I got when they were released came out 10 years ago, I was going back through some stuff I used to listen to, and found this gem:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxgyC7o6ZJY

Under-appreciated indie classic, or just nostalgia?

[Boydy]

Nostalgia.

The main guy looks like Phonics.

[igor_balis]

I thought they looked like a bunch of wankers even then, but I still reckon that first Mystery Jets album is alright. no h8rz plz

[igor_balis]

Not that I think Phonics looks like a wanker, mind. x

Also lol shite.

[igor_balis]

yeah but you only like bands with members who look like people who beat me up at primary school

[Magic]

yeah but you only like bands with members who look like people who beat me up at primary school

Love Wham! iirc.

[igor_balis]

i was praising your diverse taste

[Magic]

I was praising your courage for coming through school without at least one attempt on your own life.

EDIT: That's not true. :( :wub:

[igor_balis]

You can't fool me, Magic.

[igor_balis]

Just bought Yeah Yeah Yeah The Story of Modern Pop by Bob Stanley. Very highly rated book about pop music history.

"Bob Stanley's Yeah Yeah Yeah tells the chronological story of the modern pop era, from its beginnings in the fifties with the dawn of the charts, vinyl, and the music press, to pop's digital switchover in the year 2000, from Rock Around the Clock to Crazy In Love. It was more than just music - it could be your whole life.

Yeah Yeah Yeah covers the birth of rock, soul, punk, disco, hip hop, indie, house and techno. It also includes the rise and fall of the home stereo, Top Of The Pops, Smash Hits and "this week's highest new entry". Yeah Yeah Yeah is the first book to look back at the entire era: what we gained, what we lost, and the foundations we laid for future generations.

There have been many books on pop but none have attempted to bring the whole story to life, from Billy Fury and Roxy Music to TLC and Britney via Led Zeppelin and Donna Summer. Audacious and addictive, Yeah Yeah Yeah is essential reading for all music lovers. It will remind you why you fell in love with pop music in the first place."

Sounds pretty great.

[Magic]

Listening to the Marshall Mathers LP. :cool:

[Toby]

Don't go getting any ideas now.

[Magic]

You don't...wanna fuck with Magic...coz Magic...will fucking get you banned.

[igor_balis]

Just reading the intro to that book, didn't realise it was by one of the blokes outta Saint Etienne. :cool:

[-james-]

Bands I saw this week:

Goat - Exactly as they sound on record, but you get to watch weirdo Swedes prance about in funny outfits. 6/10

Stara Rzeka - Polish multi-instrumentalist who made a lot of noise. 7/10

Beak> - Seemed pretty up for it and so were the crowd, a pleasing gig. 8/10

A.R. Kane - One of the bands I was most excited for, but they were crap. Reunited by one of the original duo, with his sister and some child making up the band. Presumably he can't sing the songs any more so he's slowed everything down and made every song a shoegaze song. 3/10*

Floating Points - Killed it. I'm not really arsed about his stuff on record but the live show is fucking rad.*9/10

LCD Soundsystem - Watched most of it from about a mile back but it looked pretty good. Will need to get a proper seat at Glastonbury. 8/10

Moses Sumney - One of those things I have no interest in listening to on a day to day basis but is very enjoyable to watch. Mad vocal range and cool loop stuff. 8/10

Radiohead - I thought some of it fell a bit flat (Burn the Witch, Idioteque), but mostly it was fucking incredible. Could hear a pin drop during Nude, and you can't really beat a Karma Police singalong. 9/10

Holly Herndon - It's obviously quite hard to make her stuff interesting in a live setting as all she can do is press play, but she made an effort with some vocal tricks/cool visuals/a transvestite dancer. I like the album loads so*it didn't really matter tbh. 8/10

The Avalances - Feel like I could have heard this down any half decent nightclub on a Friday night. 4/10

Boredoms - Japanese bands are always good. 7/10

US Girls - Presumably they couldn't afford a band so just played to a backing track. They shouldn't have bothered. 2/10

Brian Wilson - Wasn't really that bothered about seeing him, but it was pretty good. Can't really go wrong when he brings about 10 people along and everyone knows all the songs. 7/10

Drive Like Jehu - Big highlight. Can't believe how good they were*for a reformed 90s band. So tight. 9/10

PJ Harvey - She dresses like a 20 year old at Glastonbury, but I'll let her off. New stuff sounded great, old stuff did too. 8/10

Julia Holter - She's so perfect. Better than when I saw her in Glasgow this year. Horns Surrounding Me is so good live. 8/10

Neil Young - Half way through (after Alabama, Words, Down by the River) I was thinking it was the best thing I'd ever seen, but I think he got a bit bored after that and started making songs 20 minutes long for no reason. He still sounds incredible though, probably the closest thing to a "rock god" i've ever seen. 9/10

[Shindig]

RM Hubbert's back in Newcastle next week. I'm considering going again because he's always a mint gig.

[Manc]

Magic's list is so hit and miss. Jamie XX though. :cool:

[Magic]

Bjork - Debut


Wow. As a debut(ish) it's bloody sublime. How refreshing it must have been when it appeared. Such powerful vocals, great lyrics and a driving Matrix-like soundtrack pushing everything along wonderfully. Definitely one of my favourites now, could listen to it all day.


Fleetwood Mac- Rumours


No journey of discovery here. I knew already what a sublime album this was, with all it's love and beauty there's pain and fear intertwined around every crotchet. Christine McVie's dulcet tones are the surprise here. The absolute opposite of Nicks' sharp, raw, screamy voice. Fantastic.


Jamie XX - In Colour


I said in another thread, maybe the Mercury one, that I didn't quite get why this was nominated. It was supposed to be an award for something totally different and out of the box. In Colour, to me at least, the first time round sounded like something you'd hear on Radio 1 and instantly forget about. However, the second time, the third time, the fourth time, there was something different. Another path that you were lead down, or indeed up, into space. It had an intergalactic feel to it, of wonder, of exploration. Whether or not this was the intention I don't know, but it's so open to interpretation I'm having it. So fuck off.


Joy Division - Closer


What a pile of shit. For the record I actually don't mind New Order at all, however I just could not get to grips with Joy Division. Thank fuck the singer offed himself.


LCD Soundsystem - Self Titled


Great. Really cool little album and a very easy listener. It's my go to album when it's sunny outside and I'm driving.


Massive Attack - Blue Lines


Mmm. Another one I just couldn't get in to. Seemed a noisy, disjointed early 90s black album. Big pile of meh.


Miles Davis - Kind of Blue


I don't think I need to review this, really. Is Kind of Blue a Best Of? It sounds like it. I listened to it all on the way up to Inverness and it was the perfect back drop for this wonderful jazz compilation.


PJ Harvey - Let England Shake


Yeah I do like PJ, this album annoyed me though, maybe it was the quality but I really, REALLY struggle to make out the lyrics. Given that's kind of like THE WHOLE POINT of PJH it's a bit self defeating. You shouldn't have to Google every fucking song to find out what she's saying. And it's disappointing because they are actually really good.


REM - Automatic for the People


Oh just stunning. Absolutely stunning. What a revelation. Every single track is beautiful, poignant and grabs your attention right the way through.I adore this album, it was a big part of my childhood anyway but I definitely didn't appreciate it. One of the best of all time. GREAT.


Radiohead - OK Computer


Miles better than the current stuff. It's very band driven, as opposed to electronic wankiness. Some tracks on it are a bit...erm. However overall it's a very listenable early noughties album. The talent on show is evident. Wish they'd go back to their roots.


The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead


I like this a lot. If you look past the fact that Morrisey is an absolute tosspot they were a brilliant band. Marr's guitar is something else. Not something I can just turn on and listen to though, have to be in the mood. Possibly a bit disenfranchised? Yeah. That's the one for me.


The Strokes - Is This It?


Simply to die for. Again big part of my early to late teens. Last Night was one of the first songs we did as a cover in the band. I had no idea about the rest of the album though. It is amazimg. Hugely catchy, dirty, grungy but also packs an indie rock punch.


Stone Roses - Self Titled


Great album, ahead of it's time really and it's amazing it came from such a bunch of cunts. First heard Fools Gold on FIFA. Sad. I think they're under-rated in an over-rated type way, as in a huge bunch of morons like them but not for the right reasons.


Roxy Music - Stranded


I'm getting there. Has some good offerings and others a bit meh. Not managed to listen to it right the way through yet, might make that my mission tomorrow. I really want to get in to 80s pop as there's loads of great stuff kicking about there, just need to know where to look.

:)

[Reg]

Kind of Blue isn't a compilation, it's just awesome. :cool:

[Magic]

Kind of Blue isn't a compilation, it's just awesome. :cool:

I couldn't check at the time of writing as my shitty internet was down. I'm rather amazed it isn't. It has that feel of years of work and experience and someone ace at production putting it all together. Awesome indeed.

[Raoul Duke]

Wasn't a lot of it improvised?

[Lewis]

Closer is the best album on your gay little list.

[Reg]

Probably, most jazz is. But not as wild or on the spot as stuff like Bitches Brew.

I think there's a collection of Kind of Blue stuff where you can listen to all the takes for each track. So they chose the best improvisations etc I guess.

[Magic]

Closer is the best album on your gay little list.

:harold:

[Magic]

So I was watching my old videos of the band back, sounds pretty good mane.

6-7-8-900 views, pretty good right. Until I realised my most watched video was:

Clio DCi Injector popped off (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JePaa_XwcqA)with 19,234 views. :D

[Magic]

I tried Joy Division AGAIN, I just don't get it. Coming off when I can be bothered.

Really in to Tom Waits though, and I've got Nick Cave's discography too.

Also Velvet Underground's '67 album.

[Spammer]

Really got into Supertramp again recently. I went mad for them a while back but only really listened to the best of and didn't get anything else for some reason. They're fucking great.

[igor_balis]

I tried Joy Division AGAIN, I just don't get it.

New Order>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Joy Division.

My mate actually had a go at me for saying I thought Joy Division were a bit crap the other day. Pussy.

In other music related chat, XTC are fucking great.

[leedsrevolution]

I'm not really a huge fan of either. I do prefer Joy Division though, but that's just because I love the song "Disorder".

I really like Paul Simons new stuff and Jeff Lynne's ELO most recent album.

[Magic]

I also really don't like Massive Attack.

[leedsrevolution]

If someone could please explain Animal Collective to me that would be brilliant.

[-james-]

Listen to Merriweather Post Pavillion. If you don't like that, you won't like any of it.

On a major PJ Harvey binge at the moment after seeing her live. Working my way backwards through albums but I don't see myself favouring any of them over the two most recent ones. Don't think I know of any other artists whose tenth and eleventh albums are their best.

[Raoul Duke]

I've been listening to Dark Horses (very BRMC), The Low Anthem's new one (good but a bit too lo-fi), I Am Kloot and the new Bat For Lashes one, which is pretty good. Will Butler (brother of the main guy from Arcade Fire) is good scuzzy rock too.

[The Merse]

Some new vinyl's -

Crows An Wra - Kakotopia
https://crows-an-wra.bandcamp.com/
Batshit crazy prog punk. Feels very different to their live sound when I last saw them a year ago, which was a had more of a hardcore feel. This is pitched somewhere between Cave-In's acid soaked alt rock grooves and Sonic Youth's more urgent moments. Very good, 4/5.

Shit Present - Shit Present
https://specialistsubject.bandcamp.com/album/shit-present
Basically a UK intelligent Pop Punk super-group and fronted by Iona Cairns, this is right up there with anything she's put out with Great Cynics, which is high praise for tunesmanship, but ultimately is also what's just a tad disappointing about this debut. Lo fi lullaby 'Melbourne' is a standout and opener 'Anxious Type' is as bouncy and energetic as you could hope for. Solid, but expecting more in the long run if these guys stick around, particularly as their live show is a standout on the circuit right now. 3/5

Giants - Break The Cycle
https://giants.bandcamp.com/album/break-the-cycle-album
Abrasive and unrelenting. Equally reminiscent of The Offspring circa Ixnay and the UK Swells period of many of their Holy Roar stablemates. There's a couple of real bangers here and there's never a moment of respite to be had. 3.5/5

[Shindig]

DJ Shadow's never going to top Endtroducing and The Private Press, is he? The last one's decent but he's clearly in that stage where he's going on so many tangents.

[igor_balis]

Came to the realisation that Rod Stewart is actually good the other day, having really enjoyed this fairly throwaway single I saw on one of the old TOTPs on BBC4:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ41hqlV0Kk

Skip his showtunes albums and it's almost all good stuff.

[igor_balis]

English Settlement by XTC is a sensationally good album. Listened to Trompe Le Monde again a few times recently, and I still think it is quality and definitely my favourite Pixies album.

Tickets on sale for Pixies tommorow, playing Leeds in November. Already wanking myself to death at the thought of it. Second time I will of seen em.

They've fucked this up. They put every sale down as 2 tickets by default so they're all tied up immediately. General sale it is, then.

I just got 3 in Leeds with ease.

You selling the other two for smack? Newcastle's sold out.

The album is fantastic, IMO. I was worried he was going to blow it as well. With the constant push-backs and everything, I thought he might be out of ideas and just stalling. It's excellent though. "Self Control" is probably my favourite track on the moment.

New Nick Cave album out :drool:

It's a bit good too, on first impressions. I sort of feel awful for saying this, but when the news about his son initially broke one of my thoughts at the time (aside from obviously feeling a lot of sympathy for the poor bloke and his family) was that, if it didn't drive him into becoming a complete recluse (and who could blame him if it did), his next album would definitely be one to look out for.

I'm not sure to what extent the music on it is inspired by what happened (I read some/most of it was written and/or recorded before?) so I don't want to tie it all together too much, but it's definitely referenced on there to some extent. And he's such an emotionally intense character as it is. Very good album though. I'm enjoying it a lot, if "enjoy" is even the right world.

I got it the same day as I got the new Teenage Fanclub record as well, which is also well worth a listen but, as you can probably imagine, exists at pretty much the polar opposite of the emotional spectrum. :D

[Raoul Duke]

Yeah, it's pretty darn good. As you say, a lot of it was done before it happened, but it's definitely got a vibe to it.

I find it crazy how game trailer songs sound awesome when accompanied by the trailer and just a bit shit when listened alone.

http://www.fipradio.fr/player

Best online radio station I've found for years, courtesy of a Telegraph list. It is really great - far more eclectic and far less playlisty than Radio 6, and the DJ bantz is basically non-existent. Just get about 30 seconds of some French bint every 4 songs or so. Highly recommended if only for interesting background noise.

[CJay]

Thoughts on 22, A Million? I love it. Listened through it once on the way to work this morning. It kind of descends into madness at times but mostly in a good way. 8 (circle) and 22 (over soon) were my favourites.

What a year for music, btw- Kanye, Frank Ocean, Bon Iver, Okkervil River (only me, probably). I'm sure there are other huge ones I'm forgetting.

[Adamski]

I've only had one listen through of it but I love it. Madness as you say. I'm going to see Bon Iver in February in Edinburgh.

I love Okkervil River too, didn't realise they had a new album this year.

[CJay]

I love Okkervil River too, didn't realise they had a new album this year.

Not surprising, they're small fry now compared to 8 or 9 years ago when they had that incredible three album run (Black Sheep Boy,The Stage Names, The Stand Ins). The new one is decent - you'll like it if you like OR, but it's nowhere near their best.

[Alex]

Yes, the new Bon Iver is great. Just a real interesting, cool album. I'm a big fan of the direction he's gone in.

It strikes me immediately as better than the last one, which never really clicked all that much with me. "8 (circle)" is just lovely.

[Magic]

I simply fucking love this song, and this band at the moment and I'd wager @igor_balis (http://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/member.php?u=10) does too:

Love their album, brilliant band. There playing in Leeds in a few weeks time but got no mates that like 'em.

New Pixies album is decent aswell for the record.

[igor_balis]

I'll give it a listen after I watch Only Connect, Magic. If they're any good I'll come and see me with ya leedsrevolution if I can crash on your sofa.

[Magic]

More than welcome. It's a corner one and the only other person to sleep on it is my wife's fat Malaysian friend. Can't get over the thought of her smelly, sweaty yellow piss flaps spread all over my favourite cushion.

[leedsrevolution]

Only problem it's like a Tuesday night or some shit

[igor_balis]

I'm out, unless they're REALLY good or you can pay for a taxi back to the Midlands.

[Raoul Duke]

I like the first track on the Bon Iver album but I fucking hate vocoders, so most of it grinds my gears. Seems a bit like it's been made with Kanye samples in mind.

[leedsrevolution]

Went to see Angel Olson last night who has a lovely voice, was a good night. Off to see Jamie T and The Wytches tonight. Then got Dinasaur Jr and Pixies coming up in the next month.

There's a new Conor Oberst album just out which is lovely :thbup:

In haven't listened to anything since Wide Awake. When did he start going under his own name?

[Raoul Duke]

He's had a couple of releases out. I think Bright Eyes is still going though.

[Giggles]

He's had a couple of releases out. I think Bright Eyes is still going though.

Yeah I looked up on Spotify yesterday, seems to be going alongside each other. I need to give the new stuff more of a listen as I quite liked the random stuff I played and the new one is very piano based, which is a plus.

I also saw Angel Olsen last night and can confirm she has a lovely voice. Found some of the songs a bit samey but a good gig nonetheless. "Shut up kiss me" is ace.

Fabric lives on! Absolutely the right decision, but can't help but think there's more to the story than we've seen. I wonder what the real reasons were for wanting it shut down. Anybody with half a brain realises that deaths are going to happen regardless, and Fabric is one of the best equipped clubs in the world to deal with somebody that's in danger from drug use. Shutting it down would see more people die imo.

[phonics]

Same reason as they want to shut anything down. Sell the property for bazillions.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The real reasons for wanting it shut down were the same reasons anything is shut down by London councils: to sell it off for luxury flats. If they really gave a shit about kids taking drugs they should be in the estates rather than Fabric.

EDIT: high five phonics. This one got lucky because it became a lefty cause celebre and the mayor got involved. Most aren't so lucky.

[phonics]

Got to say though, "Could we reduce deaths by bringing down the BPM?" has been one of the best questions I've ever heard asked.

[Raoul Duke]

Nightclubs are shit, that's the main reason it should be shut down.

[Manc]

Got such a hard on for Buddy Holly at the moment. What a voice.

The Arches in Glasgow shutting down has had that effect. The same nights and people have moved to other, less stringent places and the number of people getting fucked up has risen.

The way it got to the point of shutting down was an absolute joke though. The Arches was the only club in Glasgow to do proper searches on the door and report all drug use to the police, then the police used the higher numbers it was reporting to push for its license to be revoked. It was still incredibly easy to get stuff in, behind your belt tucked into one of the loops always works, but pretty much everywhere else you can just walk in with whatever in your pockets and even if you're caught the bouncers will just confiscate it, turn you away, and then sniff it themselves.

[CJay]

If anyone hasn't seen this before. It's a song Justin Vernon wrote after seeing a screener for Wish I Was Here. This live version is incredible. Also, is that Jon Favreau?

Yeah, Eats Everything said even the DJs are getting searched to the same ridiculous standards at Fabric. People will just end up necking all their stuff before going in.

For the first time...?

Yep.

[Offshore Toon]

The Ramones really do embody punk, in that their sound is so incredibly dated.

[Giggles]

I've never heard either. If I clicked those links it would be the first time.

[igor_balis]

I was gonna make some snide comment about people never hearing i wanna be sedated before but I think it might have been on a Tony Hawks game or something.

[Adamski]

Too hipster for one and one just makes up his tastes, interests and general life by the hour so it's not that surprising.

[Giggles]

The Ramones are hipster? I'd never have put them as that, I just really don't like punk.

[Adamski]

I'd have said hipster was a bastard offshoot of punk (and other alternative scenes) yeah.

[igor_balis]

Too hipster for one and one just makes up his tastes, interests and general life by the hour so it's not that surprising.

I'm a twat but i'm not a liar. If I was just making stuff up I'd think of more interesting stuff than what I post on here.

[igor_balis]

oh shit were you talking to giggles? i've fucked up haven't i

[igor_balis]

Yeah you were agreeing with me and I've just assumed you were having a go :D Ooops, sorry Adamski. Someone ban me for a week, I've had a fucking mare here.

[Giggles]

I presume that one was Magic. Though maybe that was me, and I just assumed the hipster one was me.

I'm confused now too.

[bruhnaldo]

How the fuck have you just heard I Wanna Be Sedated?

[igor_balis]

How the fuck have you just heard I Wanna Be Sedated?Too hipster for one and one just makes up his tastes, interests and general life by the hour so it's not that surprising.

[Magic]

How the fuck have you just heard I Wanna Be Sedated?

Because I'm not over enamored about punk. I've really got in to the Pistols recently though and the Ramones sound great. I've never really listened to them before.

[Adamski]

Too hipster for one and one just makes up his tastes, interests and general life by the hour so it's not that surprising.

You're a twat and a liar.

[Magic]

Brb just away to make a thread on knitting. Really in to that just now.

Also I want a telescope.

[bruhnaldo]

Because I'm not over enamored about punk. I've really got in to the Pistols recently though and the Ramones sound great. I've never really listened to them before.

I mean sure that's fair and all but I just feel like it's one of those songs.

Like saying you've never heard "Rocket Man" or "In The Air Tonight".

[Magic]

I mean sure that's fair and all but I just feel like it's one of those songs.

Except it's really not.

[bruhnaldo]

Too hipster for one and one just makes up his tastes, interests and general life by the hour so it's not that surprising.

Holy shit having continued down the thread I realized there were TWO people who've never heard of it.

Is it me? Am I overstating the Ramones?

I'm not even particularly fond of punk whatsoever or anything I just kinda assumed everyone's heard that song so many times they literally seek sedation themselves at this point.

[bruhnaldo]

Except it's really not.

I mean it's in 1000 movies, 30 different video games. I'm honestly shocked at these developments.

[Magic]

Blitzkreig Bop is one of those songs.

[-james-]

Not sure how I missed it at the time given how often he's playing around Glasgow but Auntie Flo's album from last year is great. I think combining "club music" and "world music" often ends up sounding quite tacky but he's nailed it.

This is the highlight, more the latter than the former but it is quite stunning:

Ah yes. Obviously exaggerating but not to the right degree is certainly an issue that plagues me and my fellow countrymen. Apologies.


Get your tits out, Bruh.

You leave my tits alone, buster.

Will they be quality in an hours' time, though?

My god the new song by The XX is crap. What a shame.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I thought that, after Spotify practically offered me sex to listen to it, presumably because it detected I'd had a listen through their first album a few weeks back.

[igor_balis]

I've always thought The XX are the biggest load of boring emperor's new clothes WANK.

[-james-]

Some of the stuff on the first album is pretty irresistible. The second one is alright, pretty forgettable . The third one is going to be Jamie XX outtakes if that song's anything to go by.

I think they're one of the best live pop/rock bands in the world though. Their music is made for it really and I can't think of many bands with better on-stage chemistry

[mugbull]

The Weeknd's album is just a Daft Punk outreach, the parts of it that are good are good because of Daft Punk.

[Giggles]

I'm too drunk, I'll do it tomorrow.

What happened here then?

Just remembered what a banger this is. Put the album on and whilst there is some more fucking fantastic cheese on it (Cruel Sexuality, Tropical Chancer, SIlent Partner), some of it (Sexotheque, Paradise Is You) is pretty unbearably lame. The next one will definitely be dross.

cowpunk

Cowpunk (or country punk) is a subgenre of punk rock that began in the UK and California in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It combines punk rock or new wave with country music, folk music, and blues in sound, subject matter, attitude, and style.


Fuck off, it's a thing alright.

DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!

I thought this might have been some Southern wanky band that's Spotified the shit out of various genres and come up with this. But it's actually a Sudanese guy who plays all the instruments and sings himself?!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!! Absolutely brilliant.

[Offshore Toon]

Sinkane is really cool. Got into him a few years back through seeing him on the Glastonbury poster. West Holts brings so many joys.

[Adamski]

Anyone got any vinyl player recommendations?

[leedsrevolution]

It's really more important what speaker you get with the record player.
