OT: The Semi-Annual, Taste Optional Music Thread: Post Your Mid-Winter Blues Music

[Deport Ogie]

Since we've wandered a bit fusion-y lately I had to share this shockingly obscure track I came across from "Trio of Doom." Look at that lineup holy crap. Very short-lived, I read that Jaco and Williams often fought.

It’s not very good.

Right, recorded in Havanna. No studio recordings I believe.

I think this is probably right around the first years of Jaco having the addiction plus mental health concerns.

I believe his issues came to a head around the Word of Mouth tour. Which was early 80s. Trio of Doom if I remember right is 1979?

That sounds right. I think he started to really lean into the drugs while still with Weather Report around 77 but the bipolar went undiagnosed for years after that.

Seems weird they’d let him get away with the drug use for 5 years, but who knows.

It's good to hear ENO singing again.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Missed this the other day.

I don't know if people have heard, but Mimi's currently in some rough shape from ovarian cancer, they've been canceling dates left and right. It sucks because a) cancer sucks and b) I don't know if there's a band that's been so consistently good at reinventing itself as Low in the last 40 years.

Yeah so I have a soft spot for Duran Duran. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?

EDIT: I had forgotten how outta control bonkers the video is.

No shame. There was a bygone era when the term "pop" did not necessarily equate with "boring, mass-produced garbage." I have spoken long and lovingly about my recent rediscovery that most of the Tears for Fears output was really REALLY good. I go native sometimes and pull out like, Huey Lewis for a lark.

I still go back and dig back into the 80s pop scene to see what else I may not be remembering accurate.

Yeah I used to bag on 80s music HARD. But a few years back I started rummaging around and man... that era was way better (at least to my ears) than I gave it credit for. Tears For Fears is amazing, too. Huey Lewis, Hall and Oates etc.

Good Morning, Happy Monday. Here's a German Deathcore song about electric scooters.

The post game thread after picking up a point:

 

[Empoleon8771]

Surprised this one hasn’t been shared here yet. Blink-182 got their original 3 back together and are releasing new music.

 

[dogthateats]

I have my music app configured so I can see what albums were released on this day in history which is kind of nerdy, but I enjoy looking at it. Anyways, on this day Daydream Nation, From a Basement on the Hill, and Tanglewood Numbers came out. Which are 3 albums that are always on heavy rotation for me. Cool huh?

 

[Destroyer]

Listening to this and considering purchasing it on vinyl.

The Brubeck of the 1970's:

Not familiar but a ways in and I think I dig this. It gets sludgy from time to time but man, it's dark af.

I had never seen this before now and it was not a money maker in 1979 America,
