Since when has moshing turned into four or five douchebags trampling people so they can play a form of bull in the ring while pissing off 95% of the crowd?
 
Skid Row is led by a Swedish front man now. Erik Gronwall. I believe he scored 36 goals in the SEL one season.




I've been on YouTube for hours. There are so many great acts from the 80s and 90s touring again post-pandemic, and it's freaking amazing.

Duran Duran sounds f***ing amazing, so does Poison, who've been touring with Def Leppard and Motley Crue (Vince Neil sounds bad, Joe Elliott not too shabby, while Brett Michaels sounds great). Dave Mustaine's voice and hand have recovered, and he's got his most stable Megadeth lineup in years, with Kiko Loureiro, they sound great. Slash is playing with G 'n' R again.

Ive been listening to Nekrogoblikon. Sorta a guilty pleasure. If you guys/ gals like melodic death metal. Definitely edgy teen lyrics but oh so catchy and fun. No bully, please

<<< Owns a musical instrument store/music school. Stay away from the McDonald's of lesson places like The School of Rock, Bach to Rock, etc. I don't know LI well enough to suggest anyone, but depending where you are, ask around some of the local music stores. We know alllllllllllllllllllllllllll the teachers in our areas.

This video was on MTV 120 Minutes all the time back when the Rangers were in the 1994 playoffs and that summer. Great memories and I had no idea who Kathleen Hanna or Bikini Kill were back then (who is this random brunette? Is she in the band?).

They had a great career. I saw Lee Ranaldo open for The Boredoms around 2004 doing some crazy noise experimentation with a few other people. Shame it ended how it did with the divorce because they still had a lot left in the tank.

Anyone hear the new Dead Cross, Clutch, or Show Me The Body?

I'm definitely catching up on music being away for vacation and work again in a few days.

Beth Orton put out a new album. I also really liked Becca Stevens with The Attaca Quartet, and Makaya McCraven's new releases.

I enjoyed the second Red Hot Chili Peppers album this year Return Of The Dream Canteen much more than Unlimited Love.

Their Goodbye 20th Century bio is very good. If you made of map of the all that band’s connections…the scenes, record labels, bands, musicians, artists, producers, culture…it’d be a big f***ing map. They were always one foot in/one foot out of everything. Avant-garde, touring with Swans (which was apparently as depressing as it sounds,) SST, Geffen. They used well-known visual artists for album covers—like most of their album covers.

Their 1986-1988 Peel Sessions* has four covers of the Fall—with the Fall. :laugh:

*Really good. I don’t know how you cover the Fall, convince Mark E. Smith to let you cover the Fall, and get him to join your cover of the Fall. Then again the Fall are another band who was always one foot in/one foot out of everything.

Or how a band that enjoyed replacing guitar picks with drumsticks and power tools gets an indie rock album added to the National Recording Registry by the Library f***ing of Congress—an indie rock album with a Gerhard Richter painting for the cover—during the same year they’re playing Fall covers at the BBC.

Speaking of that, I read Kim Gordon’s autobiography afterwards, and, suffice it to say she was not kind. :laugh:

(It was actually quite heart-wrenching, beyond the fact of the band finally succumbing to at least one rock cliché.)
 
Saw Arcade Fire at Barclay Center a little over a week ago. Amazing show. Have always liked the band but first time seeing them live. Music is even better. Didn’t the Rangers used to come out to “Wake Up”?
 
Been listening to Vinnie Vincent Invasion lately. What an amazing guitar player he is. The first album is so over the top but I love it. Robert Fleischman's vocals are phenomenal.

Anyone got a recommendation on a brand of turntables or a specific model? I want to get a basic one for Christmas. Just to listen to records. Thanks

I grabbed a House of (Bob) Marley turntable a few yrs back because it looked nice and wasn't ridic expensive

It works great... sounds great, has many outputs... have it hooked up to some shelf Klipsch shelf speakers w a sep sub and the quality is nasty! (our living room is probably 30' x 30' w an open kitchen as well)

I'm sure you can go more expensive but I stand by this one
