Great new song for me that I just heard last Friday on Passport Approved, a radio show that plays new music by up and coming alternative bands across the world. I’d never heard of this group before but within a minute of listening to this song I knew I wanted it. I’ve listened to some other stuff by them and its forgettable but this song sticks with me, especially once it gets to the chorus.

A classic from this decade.

Damn this is good.

noSpaces · 2019-05-25T03:55:37.496Z

Yeah not too shabby.

noSpaces · 2019-05-25T03:56:40.429Z

Some more sucky tunage for your headphones.

AZslim · 2019-05-25T04:18:50.902Z

Good choices.

I like Justin Bieber music. Maybe I’ll try more than two of his songs, the ones I mentioned earlier.

I like Andrew Bird. He’s making music today. He doesn’t suck.

Years ago, when I was working for a theater in the Mountains of Virginia, I was the Lighting Designer on a show that Andrew Bird was the violinist.

When hanging out he told me that he had just cut an album with a band called The Squirrel Nut Zippers. He didn’t think it would go anywhere.

Nice guy.

Radiohead (a current group) doing a cover of an old Joy Division / New Order song. Vocally it starts a bit rough IMO as Thom Yorke is trying too hard to sound like Ian Curtis (the lead singer of Joy Division) but the instruments are flawless and after about a minute Yorke settles into just singing like himself. Also love that out of all the more well known New Order songs they could have covered they picked Ceremony with its great guitar hooks. If you don’t know but are curious as to why its labeled as both a Joy Division and New Order song its because its the last song Joy Division ever started to record before Ian Curtis’s suicide a few days later. It was never finished though so when the surviving members of Joy Division renamed themselves New Order and the Joy Division lead guitarist took over singing and finished the vocals it was released as a New Order song.

Don’t know why or really how… but I have been getting into African psychodelic/ soul music from the 70’s.

This is my summer jam.

That’s awesome. I was never a huge Radiohead fan, but I love joy division. My favorite cover is by Nine Inch Nails from The Crow soundtrack and I’m not even a huge NIN fan either.

I used to think that I am a bit under 40 and figured I was just out of touch of todays scene of course I think the music I grew up in the early 2000’s sucks as well with a few exceptions like The Muse. I am a sucker for reaction videos on youtube and was surprised that on most videos when they review one of the classic bands they cant get over the musicianship lack of auto-tune and above all they love guitar solo’s.

This is an example of lead guitar from 1967. It asks the question, “Why is pop music, so shallow and engineered by algorithms, designed for people with adhd”

It’s a Puzzle.

In this months lesson of why todays music DOES NOT suck here is an album track (not a single) off of Nightwish’s new album which comes out in the US tomorrow. Crunching guitars throughout contrasting with symphonic music and contrasting vocals. And a massive vocal stylistic change near the end. Can you even count on one hand the number of singers of the last 30 years who could go through the musical tempo, stylistic, and octave changes that lead singer Floor Jansen goes through in this song.

Another song by them and the actual first single with a real video from the album. This is more straight forward metal. If your not familiar with the band there are two females in the video. The blonde is an instagram model, the lead singer is the brunette with the kid in the video.
