Equal parts Weezer and Fountains of Wayne, with a helium/cigarette-voiced singer.

Nice.
I listened to Tapestry by Carole King. Not my usual cup of tea, but a quality album, still.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Yeah. Ali got that after we got tickets to her musical. I agree with that assessment. King is an excellent songwriter who mainly works in a style that isn’t really fit me, but I recognize the talent and can enjoy it in small doses.Silent Majority wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 11:37amNice.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Surprising too because 83 was pretty late in the game for straight forward melodic 77 punk. Them and Peter and the test tube babies definitely seem like a throwback.Marky Dread wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 10:46amAn old fave of mine as rev knows.

It kind of reminds me of TV Personalities as well. A lot of the vocal harmonies are reminiscent.

All the early stuff was Ramones inspired but they found their voice and made some great stuff. I've got everything they released.RockNRollWhore wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 1:01pmIt kind of reminds me of TV Personalities as well. A lot of the vocal harmonies are reminiscent.

Explains the Ramones references lol. They’re very much in the vein of Clash like political conciousness.Marky Dread wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 1:19pmAll the early stuff was Ramones inspired but they found their voice and made some great stuff.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Honestly one of the upsides of the internet is discovering all of this music I never knew existed. If only musicians could become unionized to get a fair share. But growing up in the 2000s with Clear Channel radio consolidation raping any variety on the radio seriously sucked. My knowledge of music was pretty much limited to like 77 punk and classic rock staples.Marky Dread wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 1:57pmYeah much in the vein of Billy Bragg with who they toured with.RockNRollWhore wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 1:30pmExplains the Ramones references lol.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Much worse stuff than that I guess. I'm lucky growing up through the punk years and having been a music fan from a very early age.RockNRollWhore wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 2:07pmHonestly one of the upsides of the internet is discovering all of this music I never knew existed.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I honestly just hate how focus tested everything became. Tons of great 2000s groups got relegated to hipster status because modern rock radio wouldn’t touch anything that didn’t sound like Nickleback. I don’t even recall the strokes getting much radio play around here which is kind of baffling. Meanwhile you could watch an American apparel commercial without being bombarded by that twangy indie shit. I really think that led to the decline in popularity of rock music. Baby Boomers just hated anything post 1989 and refused to market it. Meanwhile hip hop was seen as eminently more marketable. Honestly Spotify has improved things. I see a lot of people who unironically love Cardi B and stuff like The Clash... barriers have been broken I guess. A lot of Modern hip hop production is also a melange as well. Lots of guitar popping up. I think my only gripe with it is how overly consumerist fetishizing it is. There’s a lot of great hip hop artists touching on the Police Brutality shit, then you also just have mindless braindead shit. Which is fine tbh. I feel like rap is currently in its hair metal phase.Marky Dread wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 2:27pmMuch worse stuff than that I guess.
