Kory is probably more egregious as he's a more serious musician, but our musician backgrounds do result in us listening to and enjoying music that we would have otherwise probably not gotten into.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

And when that results in Steely Dan, I look upon your musicianliness as a dire curse.matedog wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 1:38pmKory is probably more egregious as he's a more serious musician, but our musician backgrounds do result in us listening to and enjoying music that we would have otherwise probably not gotten into.

I had a short-lived Steely Dan period (like 2 days) a couple months ago, but I have a hard time with DF's voice. My biggest sin as far as this group is concerned is probably liking Yes, ELP, Gabriel-era Genesis, etc.matedog wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 1:38pmKory is probably more egregious as he's a more serious musician, but our musician backgrounds do result in us listening to and enjoying music that we would have otherwise probably not gotten into.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
New Scowl EP announced and lead music video dropped today. For my moneym, this is the greatest fucking band on the planet right now:
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

This is pretty great.
