Random Music Talk CXIV: No more rock star deaths for a while please (not even Stapp)

[Danny Boy]

Someone donate $12.75 so we can reach our halfway mark. Pls. Driving a shit car 3500km in seven days for a cancer charity. https://shitboxrallyau-2016.everydayhero.com/au/spatula-cut

(not Martha. Because she is fucking amazing and was like the first person to donate and likes all our posts.)

Done.

 

[IWasBored]

Huh. That ... does not raise much more than a "meh" from me. I'd go see him if he played here but I just really want either a 3000 solo album or an Outkast record. The former is unlikely and the latter will signal the sign of the apocalypse.



Fucking hell. That is incredibly annoying. I wonder why. Must be a similar reason to why some can't listen to Pop but I can.

It only lets me listen to half of pop, the other half of the tracks are grayed out.

Cobbler.

I just bought my first full season opera subscription and I used some Christmas money to upgrade from my usual balcony A seats to half-way decent orchestra seats.

 

[IWasBored]

i'm going to just go and assume this saul williams song is supposed to remind me of at the drive in.

 

[Mack_Again]

is TIDAL good? or am I kinda detracting the topic of this convo from Cobl's charity?

 

[Axver]

Tidal is still operational? I thought that thing had completely flopped already.

 

[Danny Boy]

TIDAL is fine. I just started the free 60 day trial when they dropped the Rihanna album. Honestly it's very similar to Spotify.

I plan to stick with Apple Music, but if not I would probably subscribe to TIDAL and upgrade to the lossless tier.

 

[corianderstem]

I just have Spotify, which I really like. I was fine with the free version and tolerated the ads, and then we got free premium subscriptions through work (I have no idea why), and it's pretty great.

 

[Danny Boy]

Starbucks has recently changed from iTunes to Spotify for their in-store music promotion. They used to give out those iTunes download cards; now they just have the app that links to Starbuck's playlists on Spotify.

I would assume employee premium accounts was part of the deal.

 

[corianderstem]

You'd think I would know that.

Oops.

New Tim Hecker album in April, claiming influence from Yeezus among other things. I am excited.

 

[cobl04]

Me too. Don't see him live though. That's $40 I'll never get back.

did he just play around with Garagebadn plug-ins for whole time?

 

[cobl04]

It was like one long drone with literally zero audience interaction. If you were on ketamine or something it would probably be pretty sweet.

 

[LemonMelon]

I liked it. There was a steady rain shower and if everyone had shut the fuck up it would have been next level.

THANK YOU.

As you can see, my SO doesn't agree, but boy did I hate that show.

 

[cobl04]

Like, if I had known what it was going to be going in, I wouldn't have been so disappointed and annoyed. It was like an anti-concert.

Also, I am now listening to HTDAAB. Wtf.

A Man and a Woman is so fucking good. Probably the best song on this album, in fact. The only one that has aged well and doesn't sound like a U2 pisstake.

I'm so glad it was just a mid-day festival set, and not something I'd gone out of my way to go to.

 

[martha]

Every now and then I think about how grateful I am that I've never listened to Ted Nugent so his music doesn't come into my head and stay there for days.

It is the only time I have gone to a non-seated gig and sat down.

Have you disowned your namesake??

I guess we'll have to start calling you Mawwer.

Spoiler

Friggin' Mawwer

 

[cobl04]

I don't get the joke.

Objectively I think it's the best song. Subjectively COBL will always be my fav.

AMAAWer vs. COBLer. It's an acronym thing.

You don't think we call you Cobbler because you make shoes, right?

 

[cobl04]

ohhhh. I thought he was referring to that weird dude who used to post here and talk about Battlestar Galactica.

 

[Danny Boy]

I thought it was because of his favorite dessert.

[cobl04]

The new Junior Boys record is great.

 

[lazarus]

I don't get the joke.

Fuck's sake you're amateur.

Decemberists are charging minimum $95 a ticket. Fucking hell. D'Angelo about the same.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

D'Angelo Russell would be worth it. The singer D'Angelo? Idk.

 

[IWasBored]

sometimes i listen to white crosses, transgender dysphoria blues, or reinventing axl rose and think against me could easily be one of my favorite bands. then i remember new wave and searching for a former clarity. i hold pretty much the opposite opinion on against me that i have on bands like afi or the alkaline trio in terms of what their best albums are.
