A buddy of mine over at The New York Times just gave me the heads up 🙂 🙂 🙂

clearly you’ve never actually bought a Nomad, have you?

sundog said:without Richey...

Wait, isn't that the guy who carved "for real" into his skin with a knife? Dude was absolutely unhinged...🙄

man, Ryan James3, you totally forgot to mention that the Antichrist himself is basically the lead singer in your band

what kind of "true black metal" is this even supposed to be? absolute garbage—this is pure, unadulterated evil :2up:

YOU LITERALLY CANNOT MESS WITH VIOLENT FEMMES!!!!🙂
SERIOUSLY, DON'T EVEN TRY TO PLAY WITH THIS BAND!!!

So, Lambchop is playing tomorrow, right? And now I'm reading in the Morning Post that there's some rumor going around about the Pixies potentially hitting up Chicago.

man....

Frank Howard79 is spot on—they’re a decent enough band, I guess, but honestly, there isn't much to even say about them. Why bother? There are at least a hundred bands out there right now that are way more interesting. Personally, I’ve been digging Boys in the Band lately—not bad at all, especially since I’ve been trying to actually branch out with my music taste. 🙂

np Dirt Bombs - Executioner of Love

Daniel Bailey7 said:....what even came out? what do I actually live for? 🙄

it's out somewhere before summer hits... but imho it's not really worth hunting down on Soulseek. (*coming from the guy who once thought every single band except Cramps was total garbage 😁 *)

np rem - just a touch

minus 5 - down with wilco
thrills - so much for the city
calexico - feast of wire
songs: ohia - magnolia electric co
fiery furnaces - gallowsbirds bark
belle & sebastian - dear catastrophe waitress
grandaddy - sumday
yo la tengo - summer sun
detroit cobras - 7 easy pieces
wrens - meadowlands
be good tanyas - chinatown
jayhawks - rainy day music
yeah yeah yeahs - fever to tell
angels of light - everything is good here / please come home
stephen malkmus & jicks - pig lib
my morning jacket - it still moves
holopaw - holopaw
ladybug transistor - ladybug transistor
anomoanon - asleep many years in the wood

So, this is basically what I've been spinning more than anything else this year—man, if only I had more free time just to sit around and listen to it all day...

np dee dee ramone & lux interior - bad horoscope

Joshua Ross792 said:Man, Frankie boy actually dumped his girlfriend—which is why that first album is ironically called "heartbreaker"—and honestly, pretty much all of his solo stuff came out after they split up. Before that, he was playing with Whiskeytown!

Oh, for sure.

I was just trying to say that to me, Whiskeytown 👍 hits just like Heartbreaker 👍 did, but then everything just got more and more boring—I'm talking about Demolition and rock n roll—though I will admit Love Is Hell Pt. 1 has a few decent moments.

np Mojave 3 - Billy Oddity

Honestly, I liked him way better back when he actually had a girlfriend. Ever since she dumped him, he’s been walking around acting like some massive rockstar. I mean, maybe he is one, but his stuff just isn't hitting the mark lately.

np spoon - the book is a movie

I checked them out once and the first track actually hit, but after that, everything else felt like a carbon copy of the first one—kind of lost interest. But I guess that’s just the whole point of dub, right? 😁

np Meat Puppets - another moon

hollowseal33 said:I wasn't trying to be some kind of grammar Nazi... (but hey, I did go to a top-tier prep school) and I don't even claim to write perfectly, but people have called me out ten times for being weird about it—though honestly, it's a super common mistake, like how everyone mispronounces certain words you see in the papers every single day. Anyway, it's also a singer (you know, the suffix thing where you change the ending for gender...)

But seriously... prep school! You learn all sorts of random stuff there. Like those specific punctuation marks or whatever.

np Angels of Light - evangeline

Steve Wynn - Amphetamine

Chuck Berry - Slow Down Little Jaguar

And if you're seriously looking to wreck a car—like Kevin Chavez3 was saying, combined with some Zeko energy and maybe a T-500🙂

banderas said:On "man fra Reno"

Reno

watched them last year and it seriously drove me nuts—they completely blanked on the fact they had songs from before '96, even though some 😁 kept trying to remind them about it

Frank Howard79 said:Spoken like someone who actually hangs out with the Avila crowd. 😁

Heh, truth is I actually know one of them pretty well.
Anyway, you could maybe give them credit for this first part. But the rest? Honestly, the Avila crew hasn't exactly come up with anything brilliant lately. 🙂

Tupac II said:What's the deal with the DJs in Cleveland?

I heard they kill it on Saturdays at Boeing 🙂

All jokes aside, I'm with you on everything.

A couple of guys, some dogs barking in the background, and yeah—urban. Honestly, there's way too little going on to even call it a "scene."
As for those bands trying to be the next Smiths or U2? Absolute trash. I've rarely seen such a massive amount of posers, pure pathos, and fake intellectualism anywhere else. Maybe in Britpop, but that's about it.

Frank Howard79 said:So, who exactly do you think actually deserves a spot in the top 100?

He was already bringing up Zeppelin earlier, wasn't he?? 😁 😁

crimsonjackal8 said:And here I was thinking it was just a split between legit black 🙂 metal and pure garbage 🤔

Listen, you budala, it’s more like true black metal versus different flavors of trash based on who’s got the better drummer—especially when you look at rock versus electronic stuff.

Anyway, this afro 🙂 guy is freaking incredible!

Crippled said:Music basically breaks down into three categories: the serious stuff, rock (not metal or punk... I mean pure, old-school rock), and total garbage.

😂

It’s not five, it’s not six—it’s THREE!!!! 😁 😁
