Gorgeous sophisticated 60s French jazz-pop single... made in 2014 mostly with virtual instruments

A guaranteed earworm if you listen to it three times. The spoken bridge is just right.

The band is Got a Girl and their album title is great: "I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now"

You're like my dad. I respect you because you're smart and insightful... And I know you're a good musician.... But you've got all your musical taste between the wrong cheeks.

Did you listen three times?

I listened 5/8 times. I know this isn't the earworm thread, but you brought it up. To me, an earworm gets you instantly with its hook. This wasn't offensive, but it slid right down my face.

I love that. There's not much to be said about it. What we find funny, what we find sexy, and what music tweaks us, these are matters of deep personal taste and not for quibbling about.

True dat. I don't think any less of you for liking ghey music. And I'd still want to jam with you.... I've realized that I'm rather primitive with respect to music. I like the drums. I Need the drums. The bass.

Some of our tastes intersect because of this. I like that vulfpeck stuff... But the Electronica you seem to enjoy falls flat for me. A function of our respective formative years I expect. Although you are not very much older than I am, you were an early 80's teen, and you dig that Era. I was a late 80's teen, and rejected the pop music of that time and got into Zeppelin and other 70's power rock, and jumped over into grunge.

We can still be friends

Fuck that: Cage Fight!!

People think they listen to the music they like, but really, they like the music they listen to.

i *listened* to this this morning. Lil G opened her radio show with it.



from Landsdowne bt dubs.

Yessir! ~ I had to explain to our 20-something pit band drummer that Kurt Weill was a guy and preceded Kurt Vile by about a century ~

*chuckles* cute.


i love me a bit of Weill and Brecht - especially sung by Lotte Lenya

Not the same guy. Good to know. ;)

Ah Mack the Knife, I guess we do know his work.

I like this because I can see the relationship between what the two hands would be doing if it were a live musician. Not being a musician that's hard for me to grasp.

I was mostly a late 70s teen and rejected most of it. Flattered that you think I was early 80s teen because during the 80s I only listened to new music in an effort to stay current with the state of the art. It worked.

But it is all electronica, the way they write and record these days. Oh well. Here's some good music from 2015, and this time you'll instantly like it*:



*except that two days ago J.D. McPherson tweeted "Nick coolest man on planet" about "gay-ass shit" maker Nick Lowe

Yes.

I liked it.

good stuff.

I love Twil's third eye.

And the babe in the video? Rrrroowwwwrrr!

Really enjoyed that Griff. They're excellent.

Here's is my latest musical discovery. I just heard her for the first time about an hour ago and have been tootling about her tracks on Youtube.

I saw her on Colbert a while back. Apparently she's married to Adam Sandberg, which leaves me with questioning whether this music is humor or performance art or what? My brain sorta likes the sound of Leaving the City but can't wrap itself around it.

I can't understand anything she says sings.

Interesting.

Lil G and I went to see Menzingers and a butt load of other Scranton bands last night.

A new one to me was Petal. nice band

Amusing video by Menzingers. This band knows their hooks.

That's funny. :thumb:

(17 days later I still think about it)

"The cool kids like this" is why most of us got interested in what music we listen to. I know it was partly that for me. The cool kids made sure Permanent Waves was the main album played on the speakers where we hung out in 12th grade. They made sure the classic rock station was the station we heard on the bus in the morning.

And there's this weird social aspect to music that we generally don't even realize; we want others to listen to what we listen to, and we want to listen to what others find interesting.

We, as the cool kids (I say that tongue in cheek; we were all in that group), described the uncool music as gay. (It was what it was back then) But we don't use that word as a insult any more. So why do the cool kids still inform our taste so deeply? IIRC a lot of the cool kids turned out to be assholes, after we learned what people were really like and why. But that's the power of age 16.

And so, I think of "God Only Knows" -- one of the most remarkable combinations of melody and chord progressions ever devised, expressing wistful higher power thoughts about love both poetically and musically -- coming together in one glorious combination, and speaking deeply to hundreds of millions of human souls. Or, as the cool kids told us, and we believed them, a horribly dated song from the 60s that has lost its place in time. Which is it?

We are adults, and now we are free; and I say, we can listen to anything. And we should, because "God Only Knows" is fucking amazing.

I was sure I had put this up in here...

??

Well...That was pretty fuckin' awesome.

:devil:

How about if the amazingly great musicians of Snarky Puppy got together with the amazingly great David Crosby?

And how about if he wrote a new, stunning ballad, with all his powers, and they all got together and played it live, perfectly, with such grace and subtlety you wouldn't even realize it when the horns kicked in?

And how about if you turned the lights down, got comfy, in a pleasant mood, and just sort of allowed it to tug at your heartstrings?

I couldn't hear the song over my inner screaming desire to pluck that mustache hair out of his microphone.

The OK Go guys are so good with the music video concept.

That WAS good!

sexobon is right that is good.

They normally do videos in one long take, but the vomit comet can only give you like 45 seconds of free fall floating at a time. The cuts between the multiple segments are really hard to see. I think they might have put one in when the suitcase blocks the lens

But you can also see some of the parts where the plane rises again, all the balls suddenly fall to the floor. It looked to me like they were doing roughly 30 second fall, 5 second heavy-G climb, again and again.

Both of these songs are better than that one...Mashed up? Not so much.

But it is interesting, though. I can't stop listening, trying to decide if it's actually good, or, not.

The BeeGees' "Stayin Alive"/AC/DC's "Back In Black" mash-up by Wax Audio, "Stayin' In Black":



:devil:, I think.

What do you think?

Brilliant!

The Bee Gees need to release a metal album.

I red it cost's about $5grand to ride the Vomit Comet, must have been expensive to shoot that. :eek:

Twenty years later, new Lush, and it's solid. Sounds like it's the late 80s again, but I don't care!

For fuck's sake can the Cocteaus be far behind? What's stopping it, Dani do you know? Or was it not your job to track the Cocteaus? Do you like the 4AD shoegazy bands, I forget?

well if we're backing up

This was a nice bad earworm suppressant that appeared in my spotify weekly.

That was pretty good, I actually made to the end!

I don't know whether to :devil:, or :lol2:...

...oh, fukkit, :shred:!!!

Those poor horses...

modern punk - i feel like rollins would approve of this.

NO GTR

+3 for stereotypical fatguy dance moves...

+99 for the big, gay LumberJim replica on bass.

I can think of very few things in life that would not be improved by a big, gay Lumberjim replica.

:)

oh snap.

Integrity

Write another song for the money
Something they can sing, not so funny
Money in the bank to keep us warm

Stick another grape in the juicer
Or fill your guts with grease and get looser
You are what you eat, so eat it warm

Roll another joint for the Gipper
Get the Gipper high, he gets hipper
Stick it in his mouth and keep him warm

Elect another jerk to the White House
Gracie Slick is losing her door mouse
Take her off the streets and keep her warm

Fight another war if they make you
Squeal on a friend or they’ll take you
The future’s in your lap, so keep it warm…

Warm, here in your arms
Safe from all harm, where I belong
Warm, cozy and calm, another
Dawn together warm….

My woodie’s broken down by the beach now
And TM’s gotten far out of reach now
Tell the Mahareesh to keep it warm

George is suing Paul, suing Ringo
and immigration wants John and Yoko
All they need is love, to keep them warm

Kill another whale with your power
Or shoot a bunch a kids from a tower
Snipe them in there cars
Blood keeps them warm

Or

Make a better world from the old one
Make yourself a baby and hold one
Hold her in your arms and keep her warm,
Keep her warm, Keep her warm,
Keep her warm………..

Speaking of bass and drums.

The Rubberbandits - Spastic Hawk

If you haven't encountered them before, they always look like that, with the bags on their heads.

I recommend taking it full screen so you can see the artwork and read the words in the book. The guy telling the story also made the book.

I love the picture book.

Like "Fuk Bread", it feels like it should just be novelty, but it's so fully conceived that it needs to be tooken seriously.

NiCE!
