Steven Newman50 said:The current New York Times popped up as one of my suggestions, and here they are— Adjectives. 👋

Do you listen to East-RA?

Ashley Grant66 said:Mickey and Minnie Mouse

Yeah, I get it—I had one of their tracks that actually held up about a decade ago. They were definitely on my radar back then, but they just never quite made the cut. 🤣
I'm stuck in that certain loop again. Tera Melos. I suppose some of them remain somewhat dear to me—from a distance, at least.

wiredmason61 Asks:
Hey, thanks. It's not exactly a stroke of genius—she's just my little sister.

A perfect six? :O

Henry Campbell5 said:Black Sabbath - Changes

Haha, unusual. ^^

Jamie Davis9 said:Nick and Shane—wasted out of their minds—alongside MacGowan Quote. 🙂 😁

🤣

Jamie Davis9 said:the Magnetic Fields 🙂 🙂

👍

Just another COVID-missed concert—though, honestly, maybe we wouldn't even have this situation if we hadn't?*

wiredmason61 said:😁 I knew you were talking about her! A bit too much of a cliché, don't you think? 😬

Billy is childish & CTMF—you simply cannot capture time ...

Haha, how so? My taste isn't exactly transparent :O

Nice.

Drew Lewis2 said:new from a band that's also pretty special live

Jamie Davis9 said:😛
It's great.

😁 They should have been Sunshi!

wiredmason61 said:no idle players ...

Ha, there's even a spot 😁

Gerald Jackson48 said:Chuck + Steven + Jean +... and so on forever

Dark angel

Haha, look at him. Is he actually playing solo? :O

Arthur Brown6 said:A Finnish quartet with strings 😁

:DDD I'd love to try doing stuff like that

Dennis Hall41 said:Yeah, Dead Souls isn't even that depressing. Maybe I should have listened to this one.😁

You can't go wrong with that one :S

Lisa Davis46 said:he's easily the best lap steel man around right now. 😁
...

I listened to everything—but I’m just not feeling it. It feels a bit pretentious to me. Thanks for the effort, though.

Ashley Grant66 said:Edit: Oh, and Drew Lewis2—I forgot to mention that I actually think JW Francis is pretty cool. 😁 Description: Lofi jangle dream slacker bedroom pop—basically an NYC everything bagel topped with scallion cream cheese.

Yeah, but honestly—that’s the only thing I've actually heard from him. 😁 It’s worth looking into—really.

Henry Mitchell29 said:Joy Division — Atmosphere.

^^

Lisa Davis46 said:Breaking out of a rut—it’s harder than people want to admit. We get stuck in these cycles, don't we? Same routines, same patterns, same predictable outcomes. It becomes comfortable, which is exactly why it's dangerous. You have to force the shift if you ever want to see anything different.

OP, I wasn't expecting this from their lineup—maybe I just don't have it on my disc? 😁
They’re somewhere in the same ballpark as Crystal Castles for me—fine for a casual listen now and then, but I wouldn't call myself a fanatic.

wiredmason61 said:My tooth—the one I had pulled yesterday—is killing me. 🕺

Wait—what number are we talking about?

Ashley Grant66 said:Yeah, they’re great. They have a billion albums out—I haven't sat down to listen to their entire discography yet—but honestly, everything I catch sounds good. You can really feel how much they influenced Ariela and the rest of the crew. Here: something

thanks! I love it when they include stuff like this on Bandcamp.

instead of just on the album! 😁

Dennis Hall41 said:Ennio

Seriously? That’s Ennio? :S I thought it was just some Fantômas cover version. :rolf:

I'm a multi-Sagittarius myself—Sun, plus five other planets in there. :S

Lisa Davis46 said:mother sky :cerek::cerek:

she brings the rain

we can and we may 👋

Dennis Hall41 said:Alright, yeah—it felt like being in a grave.

Speaking of post-math-rock, have you heard these guys?

Giraffes? Giraffes!

op, not bad

Arthur Brown6 said:March 2003, Madison Square Garden. I wasn't there—a combination of circumstances and various subjective reasons. If anyone actually attended and is reading this forum and this thread and this post, leave some impressions. So, for the 17th anniversary:

New York 3 wow

Wow, there are some genuinely unexpectedly good parts here. Some days they were just stuck in a swampy cul-de-sac in whatever current lineup they had going.

wiredmason61 said:Better a grave than a slave. 😛 Jokes aside—I miss the crew from last year. They were the ones helping me track down interesting new artists. Whether it’s due to the pandemic or something else, everything feels smaller lately.
So, here’s a round for Drew Lewis2, Jules, Mark R., and late B...: Pivo:

NP Pete Josef (feat. Marie Lister) - Giants ...

Well, thanks. It's great. 😁 I'm still hanging around, about three pages behind.

Ashley Grant66 said:👍 Tenks, interesting album. You can really feel those elements you mentioned, though I have to admit I don't get the Slint vibe all that much...
Elephant talk honestly sounds like it belongs on Remain in light. 😛
Indiscipline and Thela Hun Ginjeet were wild to me.
It feels like The Mars Volta listened to this a lot. 😁

Cymande

Of course—Adrian Belew, King Crimson's guitarist, played a bit with the Talking Heads (apparently they even asked him to replace Byrne, but he turned them down). That's one of my favorite YouTube clips. Same with "The Great Curve." ^^

And Adrian had some seriously incredible luck. He played with Zapp, Bowie, Talking Heads, King Crimson...
I think even a little bit with Nine Inch Nails, if I recall correctly. 😁

That Cymande track is legendary.

Lawrence Ross4 said:Parcels - Live Vol.1 😎

Man, you hit the mark again. They are so cool.

Steven Newman50 said:Right as I'm saying this, it starts playing: Democratic Party

What a lineup you've put together here🙏—this is easily one of our best albums ever, by the way
Their live sets are fucking killer too

New from a band that’s also something special when they play live

Jason Mendoza said:We’re high.

Man, what a throwback. 😁 I had no idea their live performances were actually this good.

Lisa Davis46 said:Check the rest of the top 13 list for best male albums. Wyatt Yeah.

Solid list.

Lisa Davis46 said:🙂
It’s a solid liquid.

Yeah, this came at just the right time—it’s exactly what I needed for a smooth transition.
One of the absolute worst calculations ever made—this is what you get when you try to use it for watering house plants:

Once in a lifetime.

Dissolving versus removing—there’s a fundamental difference there. One integrates, while the other just clears the path. Why do we constantly conflate the two?

Listening to the wind. 😍

Haha, yeah—it really did overflow beautifully.

Ashley Grant66 said:Cleaners from Venus. ! 😍

OP, this is news to me. Great.

Jamie Davis9 said:won't be _))

op 😁 at the gym

🤣 even if they waited two days for a pizza, you'd still be watching 🤣

^^

Dennis Hall41 said:I'm fine with everything as long as the beaches and churches stay open. I don't care for shopping, but I find peace and comfort in prayer at church.

The Boss

did you see this 🤣 tricky featuring Drake

I just caught that post from Wyatt. Let me find that 🤣

Richard Fox63 said:Take it easy, buddy. 🧐

Lately, I’ve been listening to a certain singer-songwriter quite often—one of my favorites. There’s just something about his music that feels incredibly grounding. :)

Damien Jurado — Metallic Cloud.

Haha Emoji

When does it actually start feeling soothing?

wiredmason61 said:Sim is back. 😁 Two weeks of living the rural life out in Montana—pure Zen. I could have stayed longer, but they wouldn't let me. 😬

😛 Nothing came of the situation at the local diner.

Billy Martin featuring Marc Ribot — Home Beat Home. ...

The Lux Law—is anyone actually following the implications here? It’s a mess.

I'm sure it's something. Emoji

This also works perfectly for me :S

Lawrence Ross4 said:Andrew Bird - ROM fade

Another masterpiece, apparently. :S

Jamie Davis9 said:Drew Lewis2 is basically tearing everything apart until Christmas. 🤣

Good grief—him and that greasy hair of his. How does he manage to make the exact same song sound different every single time?

🤣Here's a little something.

Man, 😁 just pure class. 🤣

Lisa Davis46 said:Unknown, uh, I used to play that album constantly back in high school (and definitely destroyed a few of their CDs in the process). They were brilliant, but it's been ages since I listened... here's something with a similar vibe from a band with a similar title,
les hommes sauvages:

Ha, look at that. I was actually wondering if he had any solo work—didn't realize this was his, though I stumbled upon the name somewhere. I have to admit, though, I'm not a fan. :/

Nice little description from Drew Lewis.

Currently sitting at a six. 😁

slyorca62 said:Pretty Girls Make Graves — "Nocturnal House"

Exactly—plus a nurse and Stereolab.

Jason Mendoza said:Pilgrimage Quote

👍

Richard Fox63 said:Hey, everyone. :mimma:
...

Hey! You laid everything out so clearly that I was immediately—well, we were immediately—on board. 😁They just started the concert, and honestly? It’s twice as good as that recent set they did on NBC. But I have to admit—I still feel their impact more through the fans than through the actual music itself. Though, I suppose even a legend like Paul McCartney can hit a nerve almost every time. :G

wiredmason61 said:np Flaming Lips — It’s Summertime. ...

^^

Richard Fox63 said:Looking forward to this tonight. 🙂

embryo - yagapriya

They thought they had it all figured out—only for a missing deck of cards to settle the score. 😁

Richard Fox63 said:Instead of hitting the coast this summer, I grabbed my bike and headed out on an eight-day trek through the Midwest.

Well, 👋 sounds great. And cheap? 😁

Hey Mr.

Just taking it easy. 😳

Jamie Davis9 said:I suppose we’re starting now? them 🤣

God, they’re geniuses for that—seriously. :D The way it spun while they were singing... just haunting. :S

wiredmason61 said:I’m looking for a beach house—is everything already booked up? ☕🙄

No way. You better go check out those coal miners. :D

Man, this is actually great.

Ashley Grant66 said:Solid hipster ice cream... nothing groundbreaking, really—but still a great listen. I actually found this one pretty catchy on the first spin.

Speaking of DJ Mica— Wondering It’s been stuck in my head and on loop in my headphones for days now—it’s been far too long since I last heard one of their tracks that hit me this hard right out of the gate.
Ring a ding ding ding.
Get down on your knees.
😍

Yeah, that gelato is top-tier.

I actually started with Jenny Go Go—it delivered exactly the kind of effect I was looking for. It’s a different beast entirely. 😁 They're geniuses—plain and simple.

wiredmason61 said:Heh, you can have your ice cream in San Diego this summer for all I care. 😁

Well, today I'm heading up the mountain. 🎉 No problem—feel free to expand on that. ...

Edit: They just teased me—enough to make me push the wake-up call back to another day. 😬 NP Michael Manring ...

Yeah.

Honestly, this was exactly what I needed to get through the workday—I actually ended up buying it :O

This second one holds up—it’s solid. It calls to mind those various experiments by Eno or Fripp, though the arrangement here feels significantly more polished.

Jason Mendoza said:Silhouettes

The atmosphere. 👍

Jason Mendoza said:Dirty Black Summer

I finally get what you mean—there’s definitely a touch of Morrison in that voice.

Jamie Davis9 said:A dyslexic peace activist from the nineties—under a pseudonym. No. 🎉 😛

Man, this sounds legendary. 😁

Last.fm radio suggested this... :S

Oh please, you're being way too negative—you don't sound anything like that 😁

Dennis Hall41 said:This song perfectly captures that specific, bittersweet—almost sadistic—feeling you get when you refuse to let anyone get too close. Or maybe that’s just how I see it.

Ambulance blues

Top tier.

Summer is finally here. Let's get after it.So, what's the situation today? 😁 At least in NYC. 😁

thanks!

what kind of amateur move is this? 😁—but I'm not giving Drew Lewis2 any satisfaction

Consider this a subtle warning to everyone out there: if you’re looking to spy on someone’s messages, just strip away their diacritics. Problem solved. :G

I’m running into two issues with my private messages:
1) Every single message sent to me is being automatically forwarded to Drew Lewis2—the user with the same handle, just without the apostrophe.
2) For the last two weeks, anyone trying to DM me gets an error saying my inbox is full. It isn't.

Jamie Davis9 said:Did I post the link? Piano, etc. The version. 🙂 It looks beautiful—but that sound is a bit off. Anyone else noticed? 😬

This is pure madness. 🎉

Well, here we go again. 😁 Both are great.

Jamie Davis9 said:I just want to go home. 😳 😁

I listened—but honestly? It sounds like nothing more than an old man's rant to me. 🧐

Raw exposure. No filters, no fluff—just the sting.

granitecyclist said:I usually lean toward instrumental stuff—new age, that kind of thing—but with them, I feel like they’re missing a vocal element. A voice, some lyrics, even just mantras... something to elevate the sound to the next level.☕
They give off an Appalachian region vibe to me.😉
It isn't necessarily a flaw, just my preference. It's the missing ingredient that would make them truly captivating.🙂

Maybe they're actually the best band in the country right now.

Jamie Davis9 said:what a scene! 🙏🙂

Merry Christmas mr. Lawrence

seems like you already shared a link like this before
the music is incredible. killer!😁

another great run, and I'm feeling the hype too :S

Free concert, though you had to book via Entry—they capped attendance due to COVID protocols. They bumped up the capacity by expanding the courtyard, presumably because interest was higher than expected. Quince and Rocko opened—quite compelling, actually; it seems she gains a lot from these collaborations. It’s as if adding more instruments simply bolsters her existing ethno vibe. She mentioned that Kololir will be at the same venue in a week, which will likely follow a similar formula, just with a larger ensemble.

As for The Strokes, they were doing their usual thing (😁) offering a million different textures—warmth, grit, sonic clarity, complexity, simplicity—all perfectly executed. 😁 I think they led with most of the tracks from their latest release before digging into the old stuff. Since the crowd was thin and our vantage point was perfect—plus we had the night sky and the moon behind them (followed by some lightning :G)—it made me think: enjoy these bands while they're still together. You never know—either the crowd grows too large and the noise becomes distracting (think Dennis Hall41's clinics), or the band simply breaks up (like Vlasta Popic) and that's it.
There was an encore where Samo basically defended himself, saying, "Did you know we don't have short songs? You asked for this yourselves," 😁 delivered in his hilarious blend of Slavic dialects. Anna and Isaac are incredible musicians (she on vocals)—Samo is perhaps just a hair less so, but he connects those mantra-like repetitions beautifully and has a damn good voice that they barely used—which is a missed opportunity, really. 😁

The whole thing ran quite long, from about 9:25 PM until midnight. 🙏

Still the best :')

They really are one of a kind—that concert last night was beautiful.
