OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VI

[Rebels57]

My queen has dropped another new track ahead of her hotly anticipated album release

(If you like 90s alternative check this out)

My new pastime is watching old movies on TCM. They're using this gem for a promo.

Shes pretty fantastic

 

[Appleyard]

Insanely good live band. Always loved the drums especially on this one.
Also an epic song. Lyrically brilliant.

Any punk, post-punk and rock fans should probably check out their output... at least their 1980s and early 90s stuff. Though still have some awesome songs from time to time even now.

I guess quite a few people will have heard this... but still... just a great song from a band who at times arguably don't get the attention they deserve.

Not sure how I've never heard that song before, but I dig it. Gives me a bit of a Wavves vibe.

 

[TCTC]

I'm listening to the new Doves album right now and I really like it.



They've always been one of my favorite bands. I'm glad they're back together.

I do love some Wavves!

"Fire" by Electric Six has been my go-to workout album for the last week. It's perfect for the task.

"Fire" by Electric Six has been my go-to workout album for the last week. It's perfect for the task.

What I find quite funny about myself is that while in the day I generally listen to mainly punk, rock, ska... mixed in with other "alternative" music genres...

when it comes to working out (I cant listen to music when I run... so only gym stuff) I generally listen to stuff like this:



Like from trip-hop to european house to electronic.

My workout music playlist is probably 75%:

Degiheugi, Ratatat, Bonobo, Wankelmut, Gold Panda, Jim Bazzouka, Mounika, Justice, Kavinsky... and that kind of vibe.

And then have some other stuff randomly thrown in from a few songs each of Kendrick Lamar, Outkast, Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino and Anderson .Paak to Tame Impala, Crystal Fighters and LCD Soundsystem.

I actually have one Electric Six song in there haha. Love Song for Myself. It always makes me laugh at the irony of listening to that in a gym.

Don't get me wrong... I do "like" all that stuff anyway and sometimes listen to it just sitting around at home... but 90% of the time I listen to those playlists are in the gym or when I work and dont want to be disturbed and just focus.

I first got into beep-boop music because I'd go wander/jog around Alexandria and listened to CHVRCHES. It went naturally from there.

My current attempt at working out without injuring myself is the first time in a long time I've gone back to "regular" rock

RIP Toots Hibbert. COVID took him apparently.

Amazing voice. Some fantastic lyrics. A legend in Caribbean music.

Was still touring at 77 until a few months ago. Was actually supposed to be in the UK on tour right now.

 

[DancingPanther]

The handclaps. The horns.


The guitar

That's probably my favorite Spoon song along with Cherry Bomb. Absolute bangers.

Excellent choice. This song had a heavy presence on my playlist a few years back.

Actually released an album this year. I am a reggae listener, and he was right there after Marley. Pressure Drop is one of my all time favorite songs. He had a great appearance on SNL at one point.

i miss the 80's at times...well a lot really

 

[trostol]

 

[trostol]

wow..hadn't heard this for ages

 

[Appleyard]

Got shown this by a friend this week. Has really seemingly not got much traction in Europe yet... but I guess they will. Pretty much tailor made for my generation of Brits haha. (The Fall, The Cure, The Smiths New Order, Bloc Party style jangly guitar solos are wired into British indie kids hearts I think...)

New Order has a new song!

 

[mja]

Interesting, sounds like something that just missed the cut for Silent Alarm (which is a brilliant f***ing album that BP never lived up to afterwards).

Edit: Wait, this dude's from f***ing Wisconsin? Also, this is a legit live performance? Holy shit.

I mean, if I squint I can see the through line there, but I definitely don't associate jangly guitar solos with the Fall.

Would have been slightly better if you had posted the original German version, but f*** yes! I adore this song. The chorus is absolutely glorious and the video is the most early 80's thing ever.

Fair warning: I might just start spamming this thread with lots of music out of boredom and overwork.







Once again, Noisy Guitars + Dreamy Pop Hooks + Female Vocalist = my personal crack.

I got onto them a few months ago through this thread too
