Random Music Talk CXVIII: Grabbing America By The...

[nielsgov]

Listened to Burn The Witch a few times already today.

 

[U2inUtah]

i hear you. just watching the little bit of coverage i did was enough to turn my stomach. fym is too much.

The only good thing about this Election Day, it reminded me to give Arcadia a listen

Great minds think alike (or two minds too small for two thoughts, either way):

True to my trend...

Solange is making some good consolation music today.

 

[Lancemc]

Also Coloring Book has never sounded better than it does right now

 

[Mack_Again]

Hey I'm pretty much in love with this Japandroid single.

I'm listening to this Solange album for the first time and so far it's better than anything her sister ever put out imo. Am I nuts for saying that?

 

[Lancemc]

You're not nuts. Bey's self-titled is an all-timer for me though. This is really different.

 

[bono_212]

Just been listening to a lot of music by favorite artists, but even that's been depressing me, because I can ascribe meaning out of something that might not have to do with how I'm feeling to how I'm feeling and ten I get sad all over again.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Hey I'm pretty much in love with this Japandroid single.

Didn't know there was one gotta check it out.

 

[cobl04]

Cranes in the Sky is extraordinarily beautiful.

 

[prbiker15]

Indeed, and it's also one of the best songs I've heard this year.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I risk being predictable with my choice for post-election song, but ...

 

[Axver]

For whatever reason, I have always latched onto this one-two punch from the last Modern Life Is War album as my songs of discontent and disillusionment (the first is really just an intro):

 

[IWasBored]

oh right, modern life is war. totally forgot about that band.

 

[Axver]

Fever Hunting holds up pretty well, as I discovered yesterday. I'm willing to bet that if I looked back on when I've listened to it, it's always been after some shitty global news.

This is new Japandroid single.

I'm with you. I've been mostly listening to jazz for the last 48 hours. No need to reinterpret lyrics, and honoring the best form of protest music from this country.

 

[bono_212]

That sounds like a good idea. There's too much of the genre I haven't heard, too.

Here's an idea: Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady.

Also, this song:

 

[corianderstem]

I'm happy to see a new XX album is coming. The new single is super good.

Fuck fuck fuck this year. This month. This week.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

That sucks. Stating the obvious, but he was a fucking hell of a writer.

 

[cobl04]

Man fuck this year.

Hell

 

[IWasBored]

To be honest, until he put out that album recently I thought he had already died years ago.

 

[cobl04]

It's going to be the first of his I hear haha

I just listened to his "So Long, Marianne" a week or two ago and remembered how much I love it. One of his best.

Also, "Suzanne" off the same album. Of course. Timeless stuff.
