Multikvot! 👏

Ashley Grant66 said:They took them. Icelander Last year? It’s my guilty pleasure—I watch that video whenever it pops up in my feed. 🙂

I'm not watching :/ No clue—honestly, I can't even remember what I was watching or listening to. 😁 Probably too much of this stuff floating around lately anyway.

I gave Tobacco a listen—he’s got moments where he actually hits the mark, but right now? It’s just not working for me. I can't quite decide where I stand.

He’s the guy behind Black Moth Super Rainbow—and more recently, Malibu Ken. All of his projects share this specific, gritty, retro-futuristic synth sound layered with vocoders. It's a very distinct vibe, and honestly? I'm kind of digging it.

A Hero's Death is mediocre—the lyrics aren't terrible, but the presentation is all wrong. It feels like a lukewarm guide rather than an experience. Aidana always looks great, though.

Hmm, that’s how she sounds to me through headphones now, too. But honestly? She was incredible the first dozen times I caught her playing on the radio through studio monitors. Maybe she's just one of those tracks that needs the air of a room to actually breathe. 😁

Intensive Bjork. 😁

wiredmason61 said:I love it. 🙂 They look like they possess so much—precious, even—yet they remain fundamentally their own. Or do they?

Blabbermouth versus Lachlan Young—is there even a comparison to be made here? One is a platform built on noise, the other is just... what, exactly? It’s hard to tell which one is more exhausting. ...

I honestly regret that he didn't perform more often—his sets were always far too short, even if they were explosive in quality.

This is entertaining. 😁

Chloe Wilson46 said:Bjork

Good grief, look at this. 🤣

Chloe Wilson46 said:...

What now? I’m home, looking at my soap—and every single time, I can't help but think of that song. 🤣

If you hadn't written it out, I wouldn't have had a clue what you were talking about. Honestly.

Something different

Honestly, the best quarantine concert I've seen so far. 🙂

I have no idea what that means. Is this some kind of joke?

Haha, even Tobacco decided to show up this morning. ep

Water Tobacco! And he actually looks a bit like it :S

Jamie Davis9 said:Morning! )) Woohoo—I’m heading over to my sister's place today for a get-together. It's always a complete riot when we get together. 👋

What happened? 😁

Dennis Hall41 said:I maintain that this is all just a direct consequence of matter ruling over man. In other words—capitalism. No one is going to talk me out of it.

PE

The reign of stupidity—cheap thrills, virtue signaling, and tribalism. 😁

More? You want more? I’m not here to provide an endless stream of content just because you asked. I deliver what is necessary—nothing more, nothing less. If you have a specific point to make or a question that actually warrants a response, then lay it out. Otherwise, why are we even talking?

Chloe Wilson46 said:It’s been a while—but today, I actually feel alive and happy. And frankly? I intend to hold onto that feeling. Share.

Finally—someone actually mentions him. 😁 Lip gloss? Really?

He looks exactly like that guy from Pain of Salvation when he’s playing some character—and honestly, even when he isn't. He also reminds me of that performer from Eurovision.

So, here he is—the guy trying way too hard to be someone he's not. 🤣

Jamie Davis9 said:it's ivanisevic 🤷

ae 😛 🙂

Dennis Hall41 said:The video title doesn't show it, but the actual title of this classic is General Rojs - warrior, entrepreneur, and representative. 😁

Jamie Davis9 said:Personally, I have nothing against capitalism.
I’d just say that much like how socialism used to have a human face back in the old days here, capitalism is doing the same today.
People around here have always complained—way too much, and usually for no reason at all. 🤷

Take me, for example... as a civil servant, I earn a very decent wage for just a few hours of work. I have everything I need, and in a few years, I'll even have a condo in downtown Chicago (an earthquake messed up my math a bit, but that's an act of God, so whatever 😬).
Anyway, I built it all myself. I didn't get a cent from my old man—he was likely just as much of a screw-up as I am. He’s down South, dealing with idiots instead of maintaining his rental properties, eventually leaving whatever is left to his kids.
Because those rentals? You have no idea what a headache they are. Between the tourists and the absolute cowards...
We've always been indifferent to that kind of stuff.
And besides, how are you supposed to teach your own children anything if you serve everything to them on a silver platter?

Regardless, I have everything I need, and I have all the time in the world. I despise the "8+8+8" lifestyle concept—it honestly terrifies me. I spend my life doing exactly what I want to do.
But look at the US—the land of hardcore capitalism—you can't do that there. There, you work 12-hour shifts for someone else and try to convince yourself it's fine.
This place is the last bastion of anarchy, freedom, wildness, and sunshine. 🙂
Anyone looking for fast cash can just head to Dubai for a few years and go into prostitution. It might be a little late for me, but it isn't for you; you're still young enough. 😛

Actually, no—voting is definitely important.
Drew Lewis2, I know I've posted it a hundred times, but what can I do? It's dear to me. 🙄 😁

:s :S :D Just post it a hundred times then.

Jamie Davis9 said:Can you believe this?
Has anyone here actually attended a Romani funeral?
I have.
I was at one after my girlfriend’s mother took her own life.

By the way—on the local forums, the thread about the city's Romani community is still locked because the mods can't handle it.

Ugh, sounds awful. What makes a Romani funeral unique?

Ashley Grant66 said:China - Questi Anni
Is it Anna Italian Hüsker Dü or what? 🙏 Puky, you recognize these?

That's exactly how they sound.

Jason Mendoza said:Full upon her burning lips

It's hard for me to sit through the whole album😁 even though I actually enjoy it.

granitecyclist said:Tamara Quote

Ashley Grant66 said:Really? I don't know much about them—honestly, they don't sound particularly post-punk, nor are they even discussed much in those circles—but there’s something there. During a superficial listen, only one track really stuck in my head; "Tomorrow" is actually quite good. And I'm seeing hidden nods everywhere—they have *154* on their album cover, which might be a little tribute to Wire, whom everyone was essentially ripping off back then. 😁 :tonycetinski:

Haha, I haven't the slightest clue—he says:
Label:
Factory – facd 154

The sextet.

Henry Mitchell29 said:What a joke of a Daily Planet... honestly.

Yello — Daily disco

Haha, still obsessed, I see.
Someone white, someone Yello.

granitecyclist said:Never heard of SGM—that first sound... that initial voice. They're good. Solid.👍
So, I see they’ve finally added a link to Faun Fables (I was listening to Light of a Vaster dark).

Hibernation Tales

These guys? They’re probably the one band I’d actually give my money to if they were still touring. But they’re gone—end of story. Nils and his wife have moved on to Faun Fables now, while the drummer and the violinist went their own ways. Rabbit rabbit.
Nils is still holding onto it for now. Free salamander exhibit? Seems too good to be true—but I suppose if you've got nothing better to do this weekend, why not?
And Carla—the violinist—was also somewhat involved in that. Charming hostess. If I’m following this correctly—
And here they are, too. tin hat (trio), Two feet of yard space? Hardly enough to call it a lawn., The Book of Knots. Simple enough, right? Yet, there's an entire philosophy tucked between those pages—a study of tension, friction, and how much pressure a single point can actually take before everything unravels. It’s more than just utility; it's about structure. Or perhaps, more accurately, it's about control. There are plenty of guests involved—take this Blixa track, for instance. :D
Mostly just a creative bunch.

Steven Newman50 said:Well, look who finally decided to show up. Who's back in our midst? 👋 Welcome back, Drew Lewis2. 😁

NP: Welcome Back, Al PacinoThe album dropped today. That music video came out about two weeks ago—we've just been waiting for it to actually hit the streaming services. 🙂

Alright, here’s Blixa—he even cleaned himself up a bit. :D

Ashley Grant66 said:Drew Lewis2, welcome back! It’s great to see such a massive turnout on this thread. :D

The Durutt column

:f

That band has such a beautiful sort of sadness to them :/ I believe that track was actually a tribute to Ian Curtis—they shared the same stage, even if their sound didn't exactly fit the vibe there😁 I stumbled upon them through a weird cover by Espers, where I was once and then again completely obsessed for six months straight
I recall reading somewhere that Vini was struggling financially—that they were actually collecting donations for him :/

Jamie Davis9 said:If I need more, I've already found this one! All by myself! Without anyone's help! 🤣

Well, look who finally decided to show up! 👋

Let's see if we can brush up on the material 😲 😁

Just in case it lets you down...!

:lux:

Nineties spot

2*EST/3

Did you hear about Delapse? 😁

Absolutely unbombastic.

EDIT: They’re fine. It’s honestly hilarious watching the same small group of people constantly circling one another—we really do have quite the scene here, don't we? And there are plenty of them.

Forever Changes ^^

Haha, even I have to admit there's some truth to that—though personally, I wouldn't change a thing about how things are currently 😁
.
Welp

By the way, Dennis Hall41—you still there? ga You hear that?

wiredmason61 said:😁 It’s a good thing it isn't a load-bearing wall—everything else can be fixed in time.

Back at it again tonight. The concert.No way—just a stray dog? ...

This sort of thing just slipped through the cracks—Dennis was actually great. 😁

dy says: He was practicing social distancing long before it became a thing.

Hey! :F

Ashley Grant66 said:Protomartyr - Processed By the boys

So, a friend just clued me in yesterday... we were reading the comments under the video and couldn't figure out why all these intense brazilians were losing their minds. Turns out the video is a direct nod to some obscure Brazilian meme that only they get—something from some trashy national TV show from ten years ago 🙏 yet the band is American, right? It’s totally unclear why they decided to reference and recreate that in their video.
Naturally, I had to track down the original video 🤣
I felt a strange sense of kinship with Brazilians through this little pop culture moment! It’s almost like if someone here took a clip from Malnar's nightmare and dropped it into a music video.

Anyway, I like the band—plenty of diverse influences, but everything fits together well. The track above gives off Idles vibes, but this one is excellent; the vocalist reminds me of Cave.

wow, going from total absurdity to something strangely profound. they're actually pretty interesting

Jamie Davis9 said:but good luck finding a repairman for a Rheem water heater in Chicago!

I know a guy! :S My old landlord used to rip me off constantly regarding the water heater in my last apartment. If you decide to go looking again... 😁 maybe it still works

Dennis Hall41 said:I'm not usually a person prone to pure pessimism without any positive undertones—or at least irony (Leonard Cohen, I'm looking at you)—but these guys are sitting right at the top of that ultimate darkness.

definitely. it's grim.

Steven Newman50 said:Désolé

Gorillaz have become one of those bands that truly stands the test of time, wouldn't you agree?

Dennis Hall41 said:At a solid—at times even exceptional—concert they played at the local arena, Fleet Foxes obviously didn't perform what is likely the most beautiful song of their career. Instead, they gave us a bunch of pretentious, rambling filler from their current Crack-Up album (though even Helplessness blues wasn't neglected here).
I suppose some hipster from Pitchfork told them they needed to be more "multi-layered" in that specific track.
They did throw out maybe 10-15 absolute gems from their catalog—half of which are from the debut or the EP—but that unplayed Kept Woman would leave almost everything else in the dust.

To me, this last concert sounded pretty rough, though the first one was perfection.🙏 Perhaps I just had too high expectations because of the first one.

granitecyclist said:Where is Drew Lewis?🤔

I have a lame excuse for not following along—Bluetooth wouldn't connect to my speakers after getting home from the office, so we just stuck to the phone for BBC6. :F

granitecyclist said:One really ought to keep an eye on Fantastic Negrita

Oh yeah, just look at that KEXP performance 😁

Jamie Davis9 said:Drew Lewis2, our buddy :/ ))

Thanks truly 🤣

Dennis Hall41 said:Not without a little devilry—placing it right at the top of a list of best songs about unrequited love. When I see or hear that unexpected line, "It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter," it hits me right in the gut.

you Should've Come Over

Agreed—that track absolutely wrecks me. Every single time that intro starts, I get chills; after that? Better not even go there. :S

Well
guess it’s time to make up for it The first remixes are coming

wiredmason61 said:man, folks 🙂

this is going on NPR. 🙂 I've been listening to the rest throughout the week; things feel a bit compressed lately.

NPR from Paddington ...

cool 😁 I'm positive I've heard this somewhere—just can't place it. :S

Jamie Davis9 said:🙂
And here we go... we won't back down! 🤷
