OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part V

[Appleyard]

Did you strip down to your boxers like the guitarist did?

It's all about the energy at a live show. Nothing worse than a band tossing up a limp dick performance and ruining your night.

Haha. I believe (having lived with a guy from south west France like they are) that it is just their regional dress. Only half joking. My housemate had 3 friends from his home town come over... walked into the dining room at 10am and all three were having breakfast and coffee in their boxers and thought nothing of it.

It terms of other "post punk" bands who are pretty damn good and making music right now:



I must admit not the biggest fan of his vocals. But musically very much up my street.

Plus as Flyers fans we should all get used to rooting for Belorussians.

The whole album is f***ing fire. Goddamn it's so good.

So, so good! El-P’s production skills never cease to amaze. He keeps getting better as a rapper too. Killer Mike always knocks it outta the park.

Since mentioned Pulp earlier...

Even the "middling" songs during their glory years were just fantastic.

And Jarvis Cocker in my opinion is one of the best lyricists in terms of both storytelling, social perception, wit and capturing unsanitised human emotion.

Also seen some absolutely hilarious interviews with him... including one about him breaking both his legs climbing out of a window to impress a girl and not being able to get back in.

Khruangbin make some seriously relaxing music. Perfect sunny summer weather music

 

[Rebels57]

This entire album hits like a f***ing sledgehammer

First album that I can listen to all the way through over and over again (& not get bored) in awhile. Powerful album

Some of my favourite lyrics (New Model Army - Modern Times) ever. And very poignant right now...

 

[wankstifier]

Saw the melon review for this band a few minutes ago and I like what I hear!

 

[Young Sandwich]

Heard this song for the first time in years today. She's a banger for sure.

 

[wankstifier]

I f***ing love this song

 

[Appleyard]

I f***ing love this song

The first incarnation of The Travelling Wilbury's might be the most talented group of musicians ever assembled in the rock genre. (since like half of them are in this video haha!)

Also this song has an awful backstory.

He and his whole family almost died in a housefire that Petty rescued his wife and 5 year old daughter from... it was an arson attack, someone covered the back staircase and door to the house in gas and lit it, and the whole house burnt down sans the basement studio. That is what the song was about.

 

[Appleyard]

While on topic of that era of Tom Petty



One of the best parody songs ever... as well as being better than all of the 1980s songs it parodied.

Would have loved to be in the room when Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and George Harrison were jamming and coming up with more euphamisms after the line "He loves your..." as apparently that is how those parts were written after Dylan wrote the verses.

Well, that’s an awful backstory.

The song is almost light and poppy but there’s something about Petty’s delivery that makes it boneshakingly heavy. Still gets me hyped

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Love this album so much.

That's a beauty, damn.

 

[Appleyard]

That's a beauty, damn.

Have a listen to the album it is off... bit inconsistent in my opinion, but has ~5 absolutely fantastic songs.

The lyrics:

One more cocktail
Is it a good time?
Or is it highly inappropriate?

could describe about 5 years of my late teens and early 20s.
