Random Music Talk XCVIII: When the Music's Over...

[Danny Boy]

I'm in Wenatchee for the weekend. Just went in a Walmart for the first time in forever. The Latino music section is now bigger than the Rock/Pop/Country section. The music industry is fucked.

I went to buy some earbuds that may actually stay in my ears while running, and was pretty weirded out by best buy's music selection. First off, in pretty sure all the CDs were 16.99, second off there was literally 1 album on vinyl. And it was Against Me's White Crosses, which was just as random as it gets.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yeah, last time I went in Best Buy the CD selection had shrunk considerably and I don't think they had any vinyl at all.

Home taping is killing music.

I had a catalytic converter go bad in Wenatchee once.

Anyone watch the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony tonight?

I thought all four of the special guests for Nirvana absolutely killed it. They did a really excellent job filling the shoes for Kurt for the night.

My phone background is a picture of a spitfire and my lock screen is ninja turtles, in case you guys were still wondering.

A couple of years ago I spoke to an employee at Best Buy when I was looking for something not on shelf and he stated that they were trying to steer pretty much all of their music sales to their website and reducing the in store stuff to make room in stores for other merchandise.

And I don't ever remember them as having much in the way of vinyl in stores.

 

[Danny Boy]

They made an attempt at having a vinyl section a few years ago, but it was never very well stocked. Unless you count 20 neglected copies of Chinese Democracy as well stocked.

Day drinking will be starting shortly here as well!

Call my Sex Church.

 

[bono_212]

I miss Sex Church.

 

[Danny Boy]

I must admit I have never actually listened to Sex Church.

I just checked and it is in fact on Beats Music, so I may have to remedy that.

Parquet Courts yes.

Well if this new Black Keys album is indicative of the work Danger Mouse did with U2, maybe they were right to scrap it.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Bono and Edge are such vastly different songwriters to Dan Auerbach, though. I feel they have such a stronger sense of vocal melody and such a wider color palette.

You're probably talking more about the production side of things, but just from a pure songwriting standpoint I think it's hard to make any sort of connection there.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

If the songwriting informs the production then it's gonna be a different ride.

Frozen has now settled in as my favorite movie of 2013, by the way.

Got The Clientele's reissue of Suburban Light today. Psyyyyyyyyched, yo!

 

[LemonMelon]

Fucked Up's album is top notch. The fat guy that sounds like a cement mixer is more out of place than ever.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm really high and I haven't watched last night's GOT yet and I'm kinda scared to watch it.

 

[u2popmofo]

Un-high yourself and watch it.

I was low on ingredients I normally use and just made a fairly gross green smoothie. Still drank it all.

Mother you're gone and father you're gone, lover you're gone and other you're gone.

I made a fairly awesome smoothie. I put fruit in it. All the fruit. Strawberries, blueberries, grapes, a banana, orange juice. I think a kiwi even found its way in. It was delicious.
