I am gonna populate this weekly music thread and then I'll have to find some new music within a day or so for the next one. Sounds like fun :). Love the vibraphone effect on the keys in that Yussef track. I've come to believe that the ear often prefers a somewhat wandering and even random effects, like the vibraphone Hz probably isn't exactly 1/121 BPM or whatever, or they don't use a click track, something like that. The ear is such a sucker for novelty and change. But even superseding sometimes that (especially 4 da kidz) are social pressures and/or memories that get associated with musics. Bands, genres, personal projects, anything. Absolutely no one here will like Snakehips - WATER. feat. Bryce Vine. It's still low budget shit no one likes, that I like, which means, actually, nothing. Sure is easy to criticize the shit out of L.A.-based artists at this point, though, honestly. Absolutely no one here will like Poetically - Girls in High Heels đź‘ . It's even lower budget shit no one likes, that I like, which means, actually, nothing. Sure is hard to criticize one guy with a greenscreen and a DAW, though, honestly. Absolutely everyone here will love Mr. Moustache VS Splice Vocals. It's still low budget shit no one hates, that I also don't hate, which means, actually, we are best friends. P.S. I think someone is planning something music-y for next week's jit.si meetup.! ANd it's not me.!!
bruh I've been trying to respond to your message but I keep getting an auto response email saying it didn't go through. feel free to send me an email at robert@robertcastillo.art mk any word on the internal hubski mail system having bugs?
Wrote you a PM, but figured others could get a use out of it as well: you're almost certainly getting timed out. Whenever a new PM is attempted, server issues it an fnid for a limited time, so if you take more than 5-10(?) minutes, it won't pass. Personally, I've been working around it by writing stuff in text editor and copy-pasting.
I'm still just enchanted with Wet Leg. From the Isle of Wight, they didn't have many places to play (getting to the English mainland was an EXPENSIVE ferry ride), so they spent most of the year in their room, playing and writing music. And when the local music festival season started, they would play opening slots on all kinds of bills... so 11:AM shows, outdoors, to 15 people, mostly. And now they are a sensation and are still the quiet, soft-spoken, shy people from the Isle of Wight. (In related news, I bet the soundman on all of their interviews is yanking his hair out by the roots... they are SO QUIET, and have a lot of little in-jokes and comments between the two of them that the mics just can't pick up.) They remind me a lot of Sleater-Kinney, musically; simple melodic structures with hard fast sections consisting of only one or two chords just being hammered rhythmically. Nothing complex or fancy. Just good, dynamic, straight-ahead, driving music with something to say. Chaise Lounge Ur Mum (longest and loudest scream part) Watching them play to a live audience is the best, because the audience is so involved and it's clearly so cathartic for them.
In my ear of late: The Hip Abduction’s cover of All Night Long New track by Soilwork: Övergivenheten Soilwork is perennially on my most-wanted list of bands to see live (until I’m periodically reminded how much fixing they do in the studio for the lead singer’s voice). My cousin - who I regard as having excellent taste in prog metal (introduced me to Animals as Leaders) - recently recommended the following bands to me: - Astronoids - You Win Again Gravity - Car Bomb Not in love with them yet, but I figure they are worth a shout out here for people search for new sound.
