IndiraLightfoot Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Well, Radiohead's latest is out, A Moon Shaped Pool, and it's pretty darn great. I'm truly over the moon, since I'm a big fan of theirs and Thom Yorke's unique voice. Here's one of the new tracks. Enjoy! *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Bartimaeus Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Well, I thought it was O.K. until the vocals... Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
IndiraLightfoot Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Bartimaeus: I can see why some wouldn't like his high-pitch whiney instrument-like voice. No worries, mate! Music certainly strikes chords differently for different people. That's cool. This early hit of theirs is still a classic - I'd say it's eerily suggestive with lyrics to which lots of peeps can relate.

Bartimaeus Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Well, I like this song even less than the other. Truth be told, I've just never really been a big fan of the whole "slow moaning" style of singing.... But hey, like you said, different strokes for different folks...

Longknife Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Here's a song I like no so much for it's sound but rather for it's lyrics and meaning: "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?
Sweet_Sadie Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 RAP and Hip Hop mostly. NWA, EM, T9, Flash and the Pan, vaya con dios (more ballads than anything else), and Queen. That be some. Led Zep? Boring Stones? Occasionally brilliant Beatles? Ho Hum
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Another song released 30 years ago. 21 April 1986. Amazing it was written and recorded in under 24 hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPmTGFg06zA edit: youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPmTGFg06zA Edited May 18, 2016 by Hiro Protagonist 2

Meshugger Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Has Youtube borked their certificates or something? I can't see one single video either.

Valsuelm Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Works for me right now, though Obs forums do bug out with videos from time to time for me as well. They have the worst forum software of any site I even remotely frequent, by far. Edited May 18, 2016 by Valsuelm
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Everything works for me. Might be a browser issue depending on what browser you're using.
Meshugger Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 It must be the forum, it neither works in IE or FF for me.

Hiro Protagonist Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 IE works for me. Also, after posting OMD's If You Leave, I seem to be on an 80s kick. Been watching some great songs.
Meshugger Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Finally working again. Suffice to say, the last page has given an urge to grow a mullet again.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 It must be the forum, it neither works in IE or FF for me. Happens periodically on FF for me. Anyways since someone mentioned rap.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acT_PSAZ7BQ "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands
majestic Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b9Pwd-HhbA I saw an old interview with Kurt yesterday where he recapped his '81 tour in South Africa. White guy and his Jamaican wife show up during the Apartheid with a mixed race band with no racial segregation on stage facing death threats from pretty much everyone, going on a tour of 21 concerts and not backing down. "Almost immediately I was approached by four or five underground commandos, armed to the theeth, telling me to pack up and leave or they'll kill me. And I was like 'Yeah, then go ahead and shoot me now, I'm doing this tour.' and they actually backed down and followed us afterwards, trying to protect us." That sure took some serious brass balls. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Ganrich Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 So, I've been on a Soundgarden kick this week. It's weird. I grew up in the era, and was that kid at school, but I grew out of the music for the most part. I loved every band from the grunge scene, but Soundgarden is the only one that I can really go back to consistently. I can occasionally listen to Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, and a few others. Nirvana is something I grew out of completely, but I can listen to appreciate the drums and listen to Unplugged every now and again. Alice in Chains is probably second to Soundgardeb, but it is far too dark to consistently listen to. At least for me. Anyway, of all the bands in the scene only Soundgarden had songs that were completely different genres while retaining their sound. They could do straight punk rock, sludge, grunge, a more classic rock style, etc. they just did it all. They also wrote what is probably the best all around album of the 90s, and almost definitively the best Grunge album. That is Superunknown. It has 5 songs that had consistent radio play, and that is out of 15. The remaining 10 songs are amazing too. To sum it up: If you start Superunknown and you skip a track then you are doing it wrong. You just listen to the album. Writing an album (not a writing a couple singles with trash as a filler) is almost a dead art these days. https://youtu.be/EU4L6THYAbM https://youtu.be/Arsl19igduU https://youtu.be/03Q65eMp_58 Just a couple of B-sides off Superunknown, and they are all gold.
