OT: Watcha Listenin' To? - Part V

Part of what makes it the best Marvel franchise

exactly. I have that page book marked and just go to that page when I am on my laptop or when I just want to relax on the couch

i saw this morning that legendary video game composer Nobuo Uemastu is taking the rest of the year off due to ill health so I'm firing up some orchestral Final Fantasy concerts in his honor. There's actually going to be another live FF concert in town next week. I'm not going this time but my coworker is after I told him it was coming. If you can talk video games with me, you're a keeper in my department.

SOTC is peak video game music for me.

I just discovered The 1975. No one told me they were good. I just assumed they weren't.

Dude holy f*** I was just coming in to post this very thing.

Their second album is pretty bad tbh but their EP stuff is pretty damn good and their debut album has a few great songs on it. They also teased 4 singles from their upcoming 3rd album, 2 of which are good.

My favorites are Me and Robbers. I'm trying to learn Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You on the piano. It's coming along.

There's also a sweet cover on youtube of Me if you're interested. This made me discover Luke Holland, who is a phenomenal drummer. He covers songs like this, i.e. songs you don't really think would be good for drum covers, with session performers. Always really really f***ing well done. His kit is top notch.

Just listened to it 8 times in a row after not listening to it once in maybe 2 years.

So good.

One of the best TV series I have ever had the pleasure to watch. I would advise you all find it and watch it. Very British but just amazing. Disturbing at times, but something else.

And a fantastic soundtrack.

There was in LA a 24 hour Marathon/Tribute to Louie Louie........over 600 versions. Neil Young called in a gave a 15 second version.......

I'm not a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, but holy shit this song is so good. I guess i get why so many of their fans wanted the original lineup back together.

Gonna be a new adaptation by Gillian Flynn on Amazon. Not sure how to feel about that since I've already seen and enjoyed the UK series. Was originally supposed to be directed by Fincher with Flynn as the writer for an HBO series.

The music and the COLOR (!!) were definite highlights for me. Topically relevant to the U.S. as well as the U.K. I'd say, though I'd agree that it's "very British"

Yep, the color was gorgeous in it. Not really sure that I agree with Alex that it was "great," but it was well-made. I will probably end up watching it again at some point.

i came on late to them as well. they do have some really good songs. and i just love their videos.

I enjoyed the humor and I thought the characters were well acted, but I think the story tried to get too weighty and the quality petered out as the series went on.

Just binge-watched Maniac on Netflix. Reallly enjoyed some of the characters on that show and the silliness/wit of the writing, though I felt that they didn't tie up the season in a satisfying way. That show has some good music as well.

SOTC is peak video game music for me.

In terms of music incorporation in a game, I have always liked the first Mafia, Bioshock and Deus Ex: Human Revolution the most.

I also have a soft spot for the main theme from the first Dungeon Siege, but thats just a childhood nostalgia thing I think

Joanne Astrid [Poulson], 12 year old Danish drummer for metal band she created: Jo and the Mofos.......Check her out on YT. She won the Danish 2017 "You Got Talent" show. Her double foot pedals are fun to watch. And her cymbal work is pretty darn good. But her infectious smile while going wild on Zep's Whole Lotta Love" is what gets you. She is having more fun, than we are as Flyers fan.

For Dungeony games, the Diablo 2 soundtrack is one I love.

I'd take Dickey Betts over Eddie Van Halen too.

 

[deadhead]

That's on my top ten all time list, but this is the one that everyone should listen to,



Clapton was strung out on heroin and in love with Patty Boyd, George Harrison's wife.
So the writing and singing is totally heartfelt, along with some great blues covers and a great version of Hendrix's "Little Wing."
Duane dropped by, they started jamming and the rest is history.
The interplay between the two is jaw dropping.
Turns out the Coda for the song Layla was stolen from Rita Coolidge by drummer Jim Gordon.

Music: The tragedy of the ‘Layla’ coda

One problem a lot of rock guitarists have is they fall in love with speed, I've seen this with jazz musicians as well, you're technically proficient so you just keep adding notes - but to me the mark of a great musician is being able to play the quiet between the notes:

 

[deadhead]

But if we're just shredding for fun:



Turn that sucker WAY UP.

 

[deadhead]

If we're taking the Way Back machine, this is what Fleetwood Mac would sound like if they did a lot of acid:



Jack Cassidy is one of the great bass players of all time and Jorma Kaukonen is a heck of a guitar player.

Scale the Summit is f***ing amazing.
