General Music Discussion II

[Corrian]

Grant Hart, the drummer/vocalist from Hüsker Dü and one of the band's main songwriters alongside frontman Bob Mould, has died. This is my favourite of the songs he wrote for the band.

I don't know the band really, but damn.

And the music marathon is done. Finally.

1/1/2017 - 15/9/2017

Never again.

Now that's dedication. Congrats on finally being done with it.

I am apparently just going on a massive synthwave/retrowave hunt today, and massively expanding my backlog in the process.

Now that I can once again listen to what the hell ever I want it's time to start digesting my backlog. Gonna start with synthwave, namely the new Perturbator EP, followed by that synthwave/black metal thing and Carpenter Brut's live album.

[Corrian]

I could listen to this song for all eternity

[Corrian]

How the hell did I miss that there was a new Godspeed You! Black Emperor album? Damn, I am getting out of touch.

[Corrian]

The new Foo Fighters sounds a bit...prog metal?

Edit: I know it isn't really metal before you all rail on me.

It seems this thread is the proper location to ask my question in.

Anyway, I heard this song recently. Some of you may hear it regularly, have heard it recently, some time back, or very long ago (since there are people of the older kind on the forums), and I found that it was a kick-ass song that I now practically have stuck in my head. It is Magic Man by Heart. The instrumentals are extraordinary for as much music as I've heard, along with the excellent vocals from Heart and an interesting subject (opinion ).

You listen through the whole song, you get into a certain mood, some might think it's a good song that they'd listen to, others may think it's a good song but not their taste, and others may just not care or not like it because reasons. However, I want peoples' opinions as to whether they think the vocals at the very ending don't do the song much service after that (perhaps?) wonderful journey or not. Maybe it doesn't bother you at all?

Huh, didn't expect for me to like that, but I liked it a fair amount.

All seems fine to me.

It's not possible to keep score of everything. Example: a few days ago I bought a Therapy? album, named Disquiet, whose existence was unknown to me until I found it in the bargain section of a local record store. Also bought the album Death Magic by HEALTH, also a title I didn't know anything about, because more music is more fun.

Anyone have thoughts on the Sonemic beta?
I haven't been on RYM in months and noticed the beta was up for the new site, but it's not wanting to load for me.

It will take some time to get used to it once they go full launch, but I think it's pretty slick. Lots of cool features.

Heart is good. I might start listening to some of their albums. I really like the vocals in Magic Man, not to mention the guitar. I could do without the synths but they fit I suppose. I'm not bothered by the vocals.

Algorithms seem disappointing so far, but site design is nice.

Ah, the good old days, when everything was good for you, including DDT, cigarettes, and nuclear fallout.

I go on vacation and miss this finally coming up? Damn.

I didn't know the dude from People Just Do Nothing was a real MC.

[Corrian]

Time to go through various synthwave albums.

I am still very conflicted between getting CD's or not. Part of my environmental loving self would rather continue to go 100% digital so we stop wasting stuff on tons and tons of stuff like CD cases, other parts want art. And newer cars don't even have CD players anymore, they have MP3 players. Not that I'll have a new car in the near future at all, but still, that would likely be the main places I'd even listen to CD's, since otherwise I mostly listen off of Spotify (Though CD's may still be better quality), and I could still be giving them a tiny ass amount of money while also owning the CD. Also physically you can actually show your music collection better.

So...I dunno.

Protomartyr's new album, Relatives in Descent, is out. It's great, although not quite as their last album, The Agent Intellect.

So the question is "Should I buy CDs?".

Like I always say, if the question starts with "Should I..." the answer is YES!

I haven't seen a CD in almost a decade... I keep forgetting those things exist.

In any case, you can download the art much more easily than downloading the albums themselves.

Meanwhile I keep buying compact discs as if there are still stores out there which sell them!
