OT: Music Thread

[DaleCooper]

I've liked this band for a while, but have really been on a non-stop listening wave over the last week since going to see them live.

 

[HisIceness]

that album has gone, we major, heard em say, drive slow, and hey mama

and thats the song you choose to quote?

smdh

Yes because Jaime "The GOAT" Foxx is in it.

Also Touch the Sky is the best song on that Album IMO.

it is v good

the best kanye / jaime foxx collab is slow jamz though ainec

 

[Joe McGrath]

drake lil wayne and kanye are all good though so i dont see what the problem is here

Aubrey aka Wheelchair Jimmy aka Drake is terrible. What kind of a ***** rapper has a line that he's like a sprained ankle, nothing to play with? Are you ****ing kidding me? People play with sprained ankles everyday so the line really means, I'm not to be trifled with, unless you are a tough person in which case, yeah you could take me.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

yes this bad song from his first ep is indicative of his entire career

the entirety of the album take care is v good, especially over my dead body, headlines marvin's room, practice, look what you've done, crew love etc etc etc

I've liked this band for a while, but have really been on a non-stop listening wave over the last week since going to see them live.

They've been my favorite band for the last 5 or 6 years or so. Craig Finn is the best lyricist of this generation. Not to mention he's a madman live, I was able to see them at Cat's Cradle about 2 years ago. Their second to last album wasn't nearly as good after their organist left (it changed their sound a ton), but this last album Teeth Dreams is really good from beginning to end.

If you're at all interested, his solo album is called Clear Heart Full Eyes and is pretty fantastic, it's WAY more low-key than THS but his lyrics are pretty awesome. No Future on that album is great (you can tell he's friends with the Titus Andronicus guys), and Terrfied Eyes might be my favorite song he's made. I hope he does more solo stuff in the future, he's awesome.

 

[DaleCooper]

I haven't been able to get into Teeth Dreams too much yet other than the first few songs, but I'm going to keep listening. Boys and Girls in America and Stay Positive are the two that I've always listened to regularly the last couple of years, but at the recent show I went to they started off by playing a lot of their first album (the show was at the venue where they played their very first show so they were feeling a bit nostalgic). I had never really listened to it much before that but now I think it might be my favorite of them all.

I did notice Titus thanked Craig Finn in the liner notes of The Monitor.

 

[Identity404]

Boys and Girls in America is up there on my list of favorite albums of all time.

I didn't even know they released an album last year. I'll have to check it out.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I did notice Titus thanked Craig Finn in the liner notes of The Monitor.

He is the one performing the Walt Whitman poem at the end of "A Pot in Which to P*ss." ("Folded my soldier well in his blanket and buried him where he fell.") So he's actually on the album, lol.

Also, if you're interested in both of them, get some of Spiderbags albums, I like all three that I have. Dan McGee gets a mention in one of the songs on The Monitor, and he's the guest singer in Theme From Cheers. They're basically like hipster-country-rock, they've got an awesome sound (not unlike Theme From Cheers), and they're from Chapel Hill.

 

[DaleCooper]

I do like the Spiderbags, though I have not explored all of their albums yet. I also don't like that they won't play "Theme from Cheers" live except on the rare occurrence where Dan McGee is there to sing.

just for #bilpeto, i present my official once a month #zerowing has the best video game music ever post. #comeatmemegaman








and just because it's still awesome after over a decade:

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Heard this song on The Blacklist and now cannot get it out of my head.

 

[DaleCooper]

So here's this band I really like; don't know if anyone has heard of them. I think they're from Canada.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

that music is garbagte and you should feel like garbage for liking it

 

[Unsustainable]

It's Friday

 

[the halleJOKEL]

 

[garnetpalmetto]

It's that time of year where the seasonal affective disorder hits full swing and I break out the Portishead. I'm constantly amazed when I relisten to their live album, Roseland NYC Live, how awesome an album that is.

****I HAVE A HOT MUSIC TAKE****

I've been listening to J. Cole pretty intensely for the last couple weeks.

I've come to the following conclusion:

He's better than Kanye.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

that is very wrong, but j cole is good

 

[nobuddy]

that is very wrong, but j cole is good

i think i value technical rapping ability and word play way more than you do

and you value production value and musical quality way more than i do

and that is okay

different folks different strokes

for me the good rappers that i like go:

em > cole > kendrick > hov > kanye > drake

 

[the halleJOKEL]

kanye = kendrick > drake > hov > cole > em from that list for me

 

[TheOllieC]

kanye = kendrick > drake > hov > cole > em from that list for me

pause

 

[nobuddy]
