The Mighty Musical Observations Thread

[Dr. Medulla]

My current favourite song:


I fucking love this band. A fierce blend of no wave, riot grrrl, queercore, and just delirious DIY noise.

Any longer and it would start to grate on me, but that was good. My expectations were not adjusted at first and I kept waiting for the song to kick in, but then I got it.

It does test one's tolerance for hectoring, yes.

I just wanted to say that I love this version, it buzzes around my brain and I like it there.

You're right, it was much better than the 90s.

That is one advantage I'll give you: weird bad/fun collabs usually involving rapping and occasionally involving the Refrigerator.

I maintain that Thomas Hanks should surrender one Oscar for this movie and video.

I saw this tweet in my feed and wanted to be sure it was really him who tweeted it. One never knows anymore. Glad he said what he said.

Yeesh. That's a helluva confessional statement, tho. Quite rare in not finessing or weaseling.

Tangentially related, Win Butler of Arcade Fire has been accused by multiple women of various levels of inappropriate behaviour. Whenever these kinds of things come up, I think of the observation that in interaction between the sexes, men most fear being laughed at; women most fear being beaten or killed.

The responses from both Win and Regine were...not good. I hate to say this, but their last two albums weren't so good, so that makes it easier to let go. This is going to tremendous damage to their image and fanbase at a time when they have to rely on that heavier as their albums are less and less well received.

Yeah, I've given cursory listens to the last couple records, shrugged, and moved on. And, definitely, when part of your appeal is being on the ethical left, this kind of transgression cuts very deep.

However, I am now prepared to concede to you that Arcade Fire is an American band.

Fuck, I was going to call them "Canadian band Arcade Fire" but you beat me to the joke.
