OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part V

[ybnvs]

ah-ha i remember. it was when mtv played music instead of fake reality shows.

I haven't paid for cable for several years now. Is MTV still a channel?

It has to be since the 90's since they played any music whatsoever (I don't care if I'm wrong). I remember I would race home from school after the bus dropped me off to watch TRL and Pop Up Video on VH1. Even Real World wasn't bad at it's inception.

My favorite band of all time and my favorite song by them.

Going to see MGMT tonight after the game, so i'm pretty excited about that.

How were they?

 

[Young Sandwich]

How were they?

Wondering the same, since it's been a while for me. I've seen them live 3 times, 2 of which were awesome. They were great at the Troc with Of Montreal the first time I saw them and great again at Johnny Brenda's, but pretty f***ing brutal the time I saw them at (I think) the Electric Factory. That may have been more an audio issue, but they didn't seem into it at all.

Any Dawes fans here? One of my all time favorite bands. This is an older live set of theirs.

The lead singer is married to Mandy Moore, so he's got that going for him.

I remember when When My Time Comes was the NBA playoff song a few years ago

That song was all over the place for a little while there. Car commercials and whatnot. By far their most mainstream song.

I like it, the harmonies are tight. Can't say I've listened to their catalog though.

My next work listen is RHCP

Also I ended up listening to some Chiclets. I learned quickly to only listen to the interviews, which are fun.

The takes in the "hockey talk" portions are laughable, which shouldn't shock anyone, being Barstool sports and featuring a meathead

Give em a go if you like When My Time Comes. Their whole discography is good and you can kind of hear their sound evolve a bit through the years. Dude's songwriting is on point and he has a damn good voice to go with it.

I work night shift so I have 10 hours per night to listen to music. I'll add them to the list

I didn't hear they were retiring. My friend has been their main tour tech for a while now so I wonder who he'll be working with after that. Dropkick Murphys are his other big regular client. Guy has a lot of kids to feed so hopefully he has some other big names lined up to work for. At least he has reputation and experience in his favor so he shouldn't have to go back to doing local artists at dive bars anymore.

Some crusty old guys still shredding.

Kpop sucks.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Kpop sucks.

I don’t even really know what the hell it exactly is but those f***ers get a trend going on twitter “cancelling” somebody every damn day.

It’s terrible music. That’s all you need to know.

I figured as much but I pretty much hate their fans now too.

This song, seriously, is wonderful. It's the perfect style for Kiedis' vocals. His dynamics add even more emotion to already emotional lyrics. Flea on lead bass as usual, but John adds amazing depth with his mesmerizing volume swelling and soaring licks in the last half of the song.
