OT: ♫ The Music Thread ♫

What was Bettman like?

Didn't know him well, other than as his classmate, but he might have been the best at math in the class.

Some people say that some punk rock bands recorded short songs. That may be true, but short (3 minutes and under) songs are common in non-punk rock. Here's a few:

Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young - one of the best classic rock songs ever
We Will Rock You - Queen
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
Breaking the Law - Judas Priest
Waterloo - ABBA
Ace of Spades - Motorhead
Yesterday - The Beatles
Teenagers - My Chemical Romance
Everyday - Bon Jovi
So What - Metallica
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
You Really Got Me - The Kinks
Fire Your Guns - AC/DC
Breaking Glass - David Bowie

When I think of short songs, I think of Elvis Costello's Welcome to the Working Week, clocking in at 1 minute 23 seconds.

Those are great albums.

To me, realizing it's all subjective, the two best singles are What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and Be My Baby by the Ronettes, which I believe is the prototype for pop songs.

I’ve been listening to radio interviews on YouTube from WFDU out of Teaneck. The show is called the Vintage Rock & Pop Show hosted by Ghosty. There are quite a few shows about the Beatles. One of the most interviews is with an author of the book The Beatles and the Historians. It looks at how authors constructed the Beatle mythology. No one individual was more destructive than Wenner. Wenner conducted the interview with Lennon where Lennon savaged everyone. Wenner maintained that narrative even though Lennon later admits to lying in the interview. Wenner is basically a lowlife *******.

I was working third shift when Lennon died and I was devastated.

Great song. Joe Jackson is also good. I think Elvis C and Stevie Wonder are the 2 best pop singer/songwriters since Elvis C started. Less than Zero is so good.

Insomnium, Amon Amarth, and Chimaira during my commutes in the car to and from work lately. Those three again plus Lamb of God and Parkway Drive during my workouts.

The Beatles are metal af

Didn't know him well, other than as his classmate, but he might have been the best at math in the class.

The one thing that irritates me the most about him and the NHL is their denial that head injuries from the game have led to all kinds of heath issues---depression, parkinson's, CTE, etc. etc. + several early deaths/suicides---when they obviously do. He acts almost like you'd expect a corporation CEO or the upper management when one of their employees comes to them with an on the job injury. They blame the victim and exonerate themselves of all blame. It seems to me that he has a choice and that he can be so much better than that.

The new Parquet Courts is just too good.

Think this is my AOTY right now. Captures the "spirit" of 2018. Going to see them in a month or so, curious as to how it translates live.

 

[Joey Bones]

Mika with a new tune!!

 

[Machinehead]

New TAA fusing metal and pop and it's actually f***ing good.

Can't say Australia never did anything for me.

Check out the 'What are you listening to part2"thread in the entertainment section for my Bill Laswell project list.Dailey posts with a youtube clip.It goes all the way back to the old thread.

Anyone going to see Paul Simon in Queens on the 22nd (hint: I’m going )

The Beatles are metal af

So are Simon & Garfunkel. Both groups' lyrics ended up to be amongst the most honest mainstream music had to offer at the time.

Metal, when not about mythology, is every bit as honest as Rap can be.

While Disturbed cracked the surface a bit, I'd love to hear a talented Rap artist, or Rap-ist for short, do S&G some justice.

Is that unfortunate abbreviation really necessary?

Anyway, I always liked the parallels drawn in this article: OutKast Are Totally Like Simon And Garfunkel – Rolling Stone

I always thought the two kids from Alice in Chains took the torch from Simon & Garfunkel

 

[Machinehead]

I liked MGK's track

 

[Richard Banger]

I liked MGK's track

Yeah but eminem took him to school. His bars were insane.

 

[Joey Bones]

Thought it's silly name calling at this point. MGK said Em has a weird beard and Em said he had a man bun....

If you like Insomnium, check out Ne Obliviscaris if you have a little longer attention span. They make work commutes go by a little quicker.

Cool. Thanks much.
