Every so often, I give Stereolab a shot because I should like it. It's the kind of oddness that usually appeals. But it never gets past sounding the same or like background music.
I have the same problem.
I'm at the two-thirds mark and, nope, it's just not clicking.
Someday I hope we just give up trying.
Is this a general ambition or a Stereolab thing?

I was on a late era 'Mats kick. Then listened to some Dramarama and through Spotify ended up here while mowing today. God help me I'm enjoying it. :scared:

Guys, if I post that I'm listening to Soul Asylum in the next few days, arrange an intervention.
I'm so punk, I don't even take my leather jacket off when it catches fire. Which it does frequently, because of how fucking punk I am.

I can think of some other blokes named Bruce who are actually good. :shifty:

Years ago a girlfriend was playing me a Hornsby song that meant a lot to her and I swore it contained the line "...I came on your wedding dress". I burst out laughing and she was nonplussed and when I told her what I'd heard we bumped the song back and, yep, he said it! I was laughing so hard that she started laughing too, but later I felt bad as she obviously loved the song and it meant something to her in its syrupy, floridly-piano-y way.

Never understood the Goo Goo Dolls/'Mats comparisons (sorry, Goo Goo Dolls). But Soul Asylum had some good shit, although admittedly my fave album is 'Let Your Dim Light Shine', which we're not supposed to like because so many others did.

The Gunga Din, Introducing. Learned of these guys while looking up what Swans most recent bass player, Chris Pravdica, has done before. (Gira's first wife was also in this band.) So far, it's okay. It's on the art side of indie, but it's not especially distinct either.

Doesn't sound anything Swans, but, no, it's on the wrong street, wrong neighbourhood, wrong county for you.

You are showing signs of Smooth FM contamination. I suggest a long lie down and 3 days of 6Music.
Tom's showing his SRP side.

I generally unwind by listening to loud noisey music. Slayer, Ministry those tow mainly come to mind.

Its mainly a cathartic thing that oddly enough can help me purge heavy negative feelings. I dont hate them either just not really a fan.

Slayer rules.

I also enjoy a bit of Bruce Hornsby here and there.

Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul - 'Summer of Sorcery' (2019) Rocking, funky, a bit of Sly Stone neo-psychedelica, topically informed and contemporary. Marvelous band and beautifully recorded. Roll on summer, romance, love & life.

'My first five albums in the 80s were both very personal, and very political. I wanted the new material to be more fictionalized. The way records were when I grew up. Before it was an Artform. The concept (loosely) was capturing and communicating that first rush of Summer. The electricity of that feeling of unlimited possibilities. Of falling in love with the world for the first time. Obviously, there are occasional personal references, and a bit of what's going on socially scattered throughout, but I achieved what I set out to do. I created a collection of fictional audio movie scenes that feel like Summer. I'm quite proud of it.' -Little Steven
