Congratulations/Good Luck dude! My child is going to be extremely predisposed to Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves and Brandi Carlisle, due to my wife's tastes. I am not complaining.
Hey everyone, this past Saturday I got possessed and finished, uploaded and published my demo on bandcamp ahead of its intended "release date". We are at the point where the baby could come any day, and I was afraid if I didn't get it out before then, I never would. I call it, d(ad)emo. https://ritvalmadness.bandcamp.com/album/d-ad-emo Enjoy, and DM me on Twitter (@ritvalmadness) if you want a DL code.
It’s petty and pointless but you gotta respect it.
In b4 YBB says “try 30 and 40” and bloc says “hits about the same between 90 and 100”
Hits way different at 30 than it did at 20 LET ME TELL YOU
I thought. I would. BE MORE. THAN THIS.
I've thought about it some, and that song is the exact dead center of my vision of dad rock.
That one can live in your Dad Rock playlist, if you believe.
That’s true I am a Stage 5 Virgin clinger
Gang of Youths is Dad Rock for Zoomers
I’ve been thinking about Dad Rock a lot lately. I was prepared to write a short diatribe about how Dad Rock shouldn’t be constrained to Wilco and shit that sounds like the Eagles, but the more I searched for “Dad Rock” on Spotify, the more I saw that wasn’t necessary. Any rock that dads like is Dad Rock, from Nickleback to Japandroids. So with that, here is my working Nü Dådrokk playlist. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ohJ0stJ4m3vI6SU4FeCBd?si=0y9gBR8CQoKFJ51HrucGUA Millennials are dads now. We like emo (haven’t you heard?!? #WhenWeWereYoungFest :p)
But also, Taylor has sold a shitload of records over the last two years (mostly on her website and at Target, but regardless). This makes sense.
Maybe this is Taylor’s way of getting revenge on that indie record that’s much cooler than hers, 10 years later
Adele would have been a more apt ambassador for a day where record stores are flooded with releases that no one wants, clogging up plants for the artists that kept the format alive, ordered by the labels who left them for dead. But hey, if Taylor can get the Swifties in stores to buy some novelty 12”s so the indie stores don’t lose money on them, I’m all for it
Steve Aoki would sell himself as an NFT if he could.
Also don’t take any investing advice from me, I spent way too much time today finishing my Jeff Rosenstock and Laura Stevenson rock opera playlist. I clearly need to find a more lucrative use for my time. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Q5l5OR92SOrYejtYAAlHz?si=NpXPsoGVTUuq7TwLuOiOHA
I’m not gonna tell Mr Benihana how to manage his money but… so many people are going to lose stupid amounts of money on NFTs
Damn they even go hard on the slow songs.
Guys I think we have a good band on our hands
Make sure to wash your leisure suit in between
Why hasn’t Stereogum already made this their AOTY? I want answers!
OSC’s Yume No Machi was a really fun instrumental ode to city pop. The vaporwave rules especially hard. Also, the Mydreamfever (Parannoul) album that just came out is unfuckingbelievable. Solo piano with field recordings. It’s the most epic “ambient” album I think I’ve ever heard.
Right? Also kinda get a greco-Roman vibe. Idk I’m just having fun
Thank you for listening! Everyone should make music if they can make the time.
Put me in coach https://media1.giphy.com/media/3owyoYjmvDijECcQTu/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952dfce6155de34e120abb2a473602612716ccd9bb1&rid=giphy.gif
No I sound like shit, which is fitting because I will be elbow deep in it pretty soon.
This is fucked up, fuuuuhhhcked up
What’s up nerds. Last year I wrote a bunch of songs processing the feelings I had about becoming a dad. I ended up with two garage band demos, and two acoustic voice memos that I am reasonably proud of, and I finally worked up the nerve to put them on bandcamp. If any of y’all are curious, you can check em out here: https://ritvalmadness.bandcamp.com/album/tattooed (Note: I made the bandcamp page back in 2014 when replacing vowels with v’s was still novel. I kept it because it makes me laugh and I think it works!)
Bloc only cares about the magnitude of votes, not direction
I get more golden-age-of-Hollywood vibes than musical-theater energy but the latter is probably responsible for the former so *shrugs* I liked the tune, didn’t love it, but I’m not worried.
Nope. I’m dumb. Downvote away everyone
…he played the Super Bowl. An outsider relative to what?
Very bold of Abel to lean hard into Slinky White Boy Disco. Johnny Jewel, Hot Chip and Cut Copy would be proud.
(Song slaps btw)
Ladies, ladies, please. We are in a Pinegrove comment section. There’s plenty of bad taste to go around. Let us instead embrace what we all have in common; an affinity for boring guitar music that most people do not give a single solitary fuck about.
4 perfect fucking albums in one year. Wild.
