OT: ♫ The Music Thread ♫

Just went to an amazing venue in Queens last night called Knockdown Center for a pretty awesome little group of bands. Went to see Crumb and was pleasantly surprised by some of the other acts that performed, namely Pelada. They put on one hell of a show. Crumb was everything I wanted and more. Dreamy mellow rock.

This Friday I'm going to the 50th anniversary of hip-hop show at Yankee Stadium - the line up is nutty.

2 weeks until Atmosphere/Slightly Stoopid/Sublime+Rome at Jones Beach. One of my favorite venues.

About a month and a half until Osees at Warsaw in Brooklyn.

I actually had seats to the show and then the seller opted out. By the time StubHub resolved it was after 5 PM and I just told them refund because there was no way I'd make it for WVH.

It's fine. I saw Metallica last year at Central Park.

It was a really fun show. I was in San Diego for that part of the tour and it got a lot of hometown flavor from Slightly Stoopid and Rome (he lived there prior). Was really impressed with Atmosphere.

So I just realized that Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s “While We Cry” which is a live recording released in 1995, which he claims to have written in ‘92-93 is a DIRECT instrumental rip off of Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam, which was originally released as the B-side for Jeremy in 1992. It’s not a similarity. Instrumentally it’s an identical copy cat. The weird thing is the Kenny Wayne album it came from is called Ledbetter Heights. But neither band has ever acknowledged the similarities.

How was the crowd?

I was at the show in Pittsburgh and the second DC show.

Crowd was fine for both. Animated but not rowdy except for Songs for the Dead as @Baby Duck Homme said. Even then it was a pretty mild mosh pit as QOTSA really aren't an aggressive band. Once the song went into the half time tempo part, it was just a bunch of guys huddling, jumping up and down with each other...

One thing that I'll say that was encouraging was the age of the crowd. A lot of 20 somethings that were really into it. Great to see from a band that's been around for so long. Rock n Roll is dead!?!?!

Nah nah...it's alive and kickin'

Forrest Hills Stadium would be a great venue for a combined Alestorm, Dragon Force, Hammerfall, PowerWolf, and Sabaton show!

Did anyone see Amon Amarth in Camden NJ?

Sabaton is going to start working on a new album soon!
 
For new music, this Psychadelic-Punk band called The Osees put out a new album less than a month ago. Excited to hear it. A lot of keyboards and synth on this one. They're more experimental punk but not as proggy/spacey like Trans Am (from Thrill Jockey fame) or Wire.

Porno For Pyros is going to be playing the NY-area for a few dates next month. I saw them in 1996 and it was a great show. Never saw the original lineup (Martyn had left by that point and bass legend Mike Watt was a member).
 
I like a lot of the same stuff you guys all like: metal, rock, alt, pop punk, emo, etc. but I also love folk, southern rock and country.

This is a great, great band I’ve seen several times that we’re seeing next weekend. My wife actually did custom hats for 2 of the guys in the group.

 
This is the final test.



If you can sit through this whole thing and actually enjoy it, you can tolerate pretty much anything.
