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

[bono_212]

Hey, you. Yes, YOU.

Do you enjoy the musical stylings of Fitz and the Tantrums?

Wish they were occasionally more like the Black Keys?

Wish they were occasionally more 60s/70s?

Just wish that the follow-up album hadn't been more of an 80s album?

Might I interest you in...Caught A Ghost?

I dig this, and they are playing a show at the Getty! I may have to go to that.

Oh, sweet, lol, didn't even check. May have to attend as well.

Interesting! nice intro as well.

I do what I can on a day that involves me importing about 40 DVDs to the computer

 

[bono_212]

Oh shit, and it's a free show. BANK!

EDIT: Oh, I see, it's a whole series of free shows. I need to be more aware of what's going on around here. BADBADNOTGOOD is going to be doing a show as well

EDIT to the EDIT: On the same day as FYF Fest. Boo.

 

[trojanchick99]

Yeah, it's part of their summer concert series. Admission to the museum and show are free. All you pay for is parking. I love the Getty.

ETA: I love this series. It's fun to see the hipsters visit the Westside.

You need to get yourself on all the venue email lists.

FYF attendees won big time with this booking

Fucckkkkkkkkk this is gonna be fun, I hope the singer is always a drunken slob like this

 

[lazarus]

I know Caught A Ghost. The drummer is a good friend of mine, and my roommate's boyfriend. Nice to see they're getting some attention.

How did you hear about them, Ashley?

 

[bono_212]

They were on Amazon's Artists on the Rise list this month, or last month, I can't remember which. I listen to their playlist every month, and I really enjoyed the single. Turns out the album held up as well. That's really awesome that you know so many people that are getting some success in the music industry, btw. I'll be sure to go to the concert and pick something up if they have merch.

 

[iron yuppie]

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough is a great song, but that muttering/spoken word bit at the beginning is creepy as hell.

 

[LemonMelon]

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough is a great song, but that muttering/spoken word bit at the beginning is creepy as hell.

It's a window into Michael Jackson's mental state.

At the start of the track, he's on the verge of falling into a psychotic state with dire consequences for himself and those around him, but then the beat takes over his body and JAMON! JAMON! HEEE HEEEE

 

[lazarus]

It's better than anything he did since.

 

[LemonMelon]

Billie Jean might be slightly better.

DSTYGE and Rock With You are unbelievably good singles though. Off the Wall is a damn solid record, discounting Girlfriend, the first of several horrendous MJ/McCartney collaborations.

 

[lazarus]

Yeah, Billie Jean is the only song that I think you could make a case for. But even the best thing on Thriller has a plasticity and lack of soul compared to the OfF The Wall material.

 

[cobl04]

Jump on board the Craig Ferguson train while you still can. #bitb

He annoys me as well. You've still got an annoying overlong opening monologue with a stupid, unfunny sidekick.

I know Caught A Ghost. The drummer is a good friend of mine, and my roommate's boyfriend. Nice to see they're getting some attention.

The one I met?

 

[iron yuppie]

Rock With You

My personal favorite of his. Billie Jean is tremendous as well, though.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Billie Jean is my fave track of his, no doubt. And I do really like the Thriller title track if the time and mood is right.

 

[LemonMelon]

I was slightly disappointed to discover that Billie Jean's bass line was copped from I Can't Go For That, but it's still a classic (both songs are, actually).

Nice! I just bought their album. Hopefully it will help with your roommates portion of the rent.

good thing Billie Jean's not hip-hop or electronic music.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Pretty excited to get this new Jack White album in the mail tomorrow and give it some spins. Been avoiding the reviews and the dedicated thread here.

One of the things I like best about my job is ten weeks away from my co-workers every year.


One of my co-workers was excited about LL Cool J rapping something with Hugh Jackman on the Tony awards last night. She said it was "cool."

Spoiler

Seven more days.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Anything new on the U2 front?

(Legitimate question. I could go skim the new album thread for a minute but don't feel like doing that tonight.)

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Nothing.

 

[Danny Boy]

Bono sang about food to Mario Batali or some such nonsense this week. I didn't go into the other place; I just saw it on Twitter. I figure if that's the U2 news of the week then they are nowhere on the new album.

Anyway, World Cup in three days so who gives a fuck.

Listening to their album stream on Hype Machine right now. Not bad at all.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

You're not bad at all.
