What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Hello,
Armed Love - The (International) Noise Conspiracy. This album demonstrates a bit of change for this bunch - a saxophone, even. At first, I wasn't thrilled but upon repeated listens recently, it's pretty good and stacks up with their earlier stuff.
A good song with a lot of rock star posing in the video.

Sounds tasty. I may look up something similar on YouTube.

Kinda good. I admit that when I was 16 a lot of the harsher, dronier stuff went over my head, but it's what catches my ear more now.

"European Son" is the one that I'm most drawn to these days. The effect of the collapsing sound and broken glass before it really takes off catches me unaware every time and makes me sit up.Kory wrote: ↑25 Oct 2021, 7:26pmVenus in Furs is an all-time great.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Oct 2021, 7:08pm

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I can't stop listening to And Out Come the Wolves at the moment. Such a life-affirming album abeit 6 songs too long. When it cooks it fucking cooks though.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
It is a great one. One of the best things about the show I went to recently was that they played nearly the entire album.

I've always been older than you stupid! I was listening to heavy stuff while you were still in diapers. I was born loud. Now let me get some peace and quiet you noisy little upstart.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Oct 2021, 6:53amMarky Dread wrote: ↑26 Oct 2021, 4:13amThis is me in reverse.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
The Cale/drone element is what really caught my ear when I first listened to VU. It just sounded so cool and weird that when I listened to ST, I thought, “what is this generic pop shit?” Like, how did they go from weird to normal? I thought most bands went the other way around. Took me awhile to appreciate the post-Cale stuff.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Oct 2021, 7:08pm

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.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Yeah, it's seductive to think of post-Cale as a retreat or cop-out. I remember reading about the mystique of the Velvets and being avant garde and challenging … and then hearing Loaded. What am I missing? Different beast, different way of approaching common subject matter.matedog wrote: ↑26 Oct 2021, 7:56amThe Cale/drone element is what really caught my ear when I first listened to VU.
