USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson

[Kepler]

Neutral Milk Hotel

They had a period in which they were everybody's Pitchfork darlings and overrated.

I agree with all the rest because I've never heard of any of them. :-)

Queensryche

I’m stuck on Q’s. Quarashi going now.

[Kepler]

So, Quatermass are a power trio / prog band from the late 60s, tenuously related to Deep Purple. I put them into Pandora. They didn't do enough of a catalog in only 2 years to have an Artist Only option, so the channel plays other algorithmically-related material.

First three songs to play:

• The Rock (The Who)
• Matte Kudasai (King Crimson)
• Interstellar Overdrive (Pink Floyd)

That's a helluva reference cloud.

[state of hockey]

Queen is obvious for Q, but I might pick Queens of the Stone Age or Quiet Riot instead, today.

[Kepler]

Iggy Pop, Quatermass, and Zebrahead added to Pandora, problem solved.

I'm watching a 2018 Bayreuth production of Lohengrin where the Christian Knights are dressed as the Bloodhound Gang in the Bad Touch video and the women in the bridal chorus look like the dispatchers in UFO.

The internet can be a great tool for expanding knowledge and converting curiosity into awareness and inspiration.

I was listening to an Art Farmer song on Pandora, and reading up on him. Wikipedia noted his work with composer Gigi Gryce. I had never heard of Gryce, so began to read up on him. His biography is compelling, and complex, and could make a great film.

Here is his piece "Minority." Enjoy.

Good balance of driving hard be bop and intricate interweaving themes. Apparently Gryce's work does not typically allow much room for solos so it did not enjoy widespread popularity among performers who used melodies as vehicles for their performance.

Made me think of Ramin Djawadi’s take, which was probably the best thing to come out of Westworld season 2.
