Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I just need to say, Beyonce is straight awful.... And she ruined the Ed sheeran acoustic version of perfect, with her "angry voice" that she always has when she sings. On that note, I do love me some Ed sheeran, and I miss Jimmy eat world back before Bleed American Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Finally had a chance to check this out. Born in 1999! Yeesh! Kids! Her EP and a live album are on Amazon. Her vocal stylings remind me of Patterson Hood from Drive by Truckers mixed with Karen O? Glad you enjoyed. And, yeah — time marches on. Killer acid rock guitar solo work from Eddie Hazel of Funkadelic... Chief among my favourite rock bands ever. On that note, I do love me some Ed sheeran Dude.

Iron Crotch Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I think Hammock (based in Nashville) is my favorite band within the post-rock genre... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 the post-rock genre... What is? Letting it play in the background. Descended from Brian Eno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) What is? Letting it play in the background. Descended from Brian Eno? Mostly instrumental, ambient, textural, emotion-laden, .... not sure exactly how to describe post-rock. I like Hammock, This Will Destroy You, God Is An Astronaut, Unwed Sailor, Mogwai, and several others. Brian Eno fits the genre. Definitely good background music. Best with headphones.

Searched around and he is considered an early influencer (along with Phillip Glass who I saw in Buffalo forever ago). This is a nice list: https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-12-most-influential-post-rock-records Spiderland by Slint is fantastic. That's a band that was way ahead of its time.

Sorry for my wonky syntax. Small phone, and I need readers (glasses). IIRC, Eno produced several U2 albums — including Joshua Tree. (Think of that trademark soundwash before Where the Streets Have No Name). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) I don't understand the whole bro country movement. (please bare with me Kenny Chesney fans) It's just so formulaic and prescribed. Not one note sounds like a genuine piece of music derived from the soul. Just all predetermined notes designed to please as many ears as possible.

The talent in Nashville is the song writers... and they're almost always not the performers these days. The same songs are marketed and sold by the song writing community to both pop and country musicians. If country, they'll change the key, maybe slow it down, add some twang, and voila... "country" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Just read an article in which Maynard James Keenan puts out a plea to the rest of Tool to finish the new album, already. Having waited twelve years, it had best be good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having waited twelve years, it had best be good...I’ve read a similar article. I have no doubt it will be good. It’s not like it’s a group of drug addled hosers. Lateralus and 10,000 Days were both epic IMO. No doubts about their new endeavor. Can’t wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So about a decade younger than me. I'll take Mer de Noms for 1000 in the better than tool albums category Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have grown to love Mer de Noms. But I saw APC open for Nine Inch Nails before the album came out, and left with the impression that they were pretty much fake Tool trying to convince us all that they are not fake Tool.

bunomatic Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Anyone like country ? Check out Sarah Shook and the Disarmers. More homegrown country as opposed to the new country.I'm not a country fan but I dig her style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
