The thread where you talk about non-metal music you like.

@no country for old wainds

I once remember you having mentioned (I'm pretty sure it was during the 'Dreams' mix tape round) that you liked The Cranberries

Apparently (if you didn't know) they went and did an album with 'acoustic' covers of their older songs with some kind of string accompaniment - not bad really

I've always heard Nirvana fans wax lyrical about how AiC was the more "metallic band" and so, weren't as good as Nirvana when it came to having a "stripped-down" sound. Well...this album. There's my counterargument. A lack of distortion doesn't change that this band sounded more powerful due to having an exemplary vocalist and a compositional genius of a guitarist and Jar of Flies proved this.

Came across these cats in a promo for the new Twin Peaks. Started out doing covers of soundtrack pieces from Lynch films and eventually started writing their own material. Not only highly influenced by Lynch soundtracks but there are echoes of the sounds heard on Lynch's two solo albums, the Blue Bob album and the noirish dream pop of Lynch collaborators Chrysta Bell and Julee Cruise. Great stuff:

I've been listening to some Fever Ray since I dug the Vikings theme song, not bad. Makes me feel female and shit. Like a less cutesy Bjork.

A LONG-LOST THELONIOUS MONK ALBUM IS FINALLY RELEASED NEARLY 60 YEARS LATER

We are forced to carry the remains of yet another rock and roll warrior to his shroud and casket with the appalling death of guitar dynamo Gregg Allman today. Peace, brother, you're with Duane and Butch now.

Unbelievable. I drink to a legend tonight.

Came across this youtube channel called Tronicbox and he's done a few amazing '80s style' covers of modern pop songs.

This Ariana Grande one in particular is amazing.



Love his take on Demi Lovato's Cool For the Summer as well

Woah, fantastic find!

I'm definitely subscribing to this, I'm going to shoot him some ideas too.

Note: The pics used to illustrate this audio-clip have absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics (and IMO don't fit with the music either), but this was the only clip of the studio version I found on youtube.

This is the only song of hers I like so far. Can't get much into her catologue.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i like that song, probably the best on HOMOGENIC (reminds me of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE a bit), but VESPERTINE is by far her best work in my opinion, fuckin' masterpiece.

This synth and drum band from Mastodon's drummer is something I'm digging. Looking forward to the album.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Just bonkers. When the arpeggio comes in around three minutes in or whatever I close my eyes and a movie plays out in my head that just sublimates all the chaos I've been feeling lately and it's just perfect. Maybe that sounds like nonsense but if you know the feeling you know it.



(couldn't find the song I was looking for - Andetag - on youtube, but this is good too) Chance discovery today. Can't believe this isn't someone I've heard on the radio before. How do you release several albums of music this gorgeous and accessible to almost no recognition at all? I don't understand the mainstream.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Probably my favorite album by them.

Saw this in the youtube comments "5:20 Palmer inventing the thrash beat" - it only continues for about 4 seconds, but it's there, neat.
