USCHO Music: From Queen to The Beatles to Lady Gaga

Since I had a decent amount of time in planes the last several weeks I got some good music listening in.

2020's Hum album "Inlet" is SO GOD DAMNED GOOD.

Go listen to it. Now.

Sometimes I think I listen too randomly to music via curated playlists instead of choosing an artist or a specific album.

Just went to Spotify to check Hum out only to find out I already have a few dozen of their songs already liked.

I recently saw the band Information Society (a prototypical late 8-'s synth-pop/electronic band) referenced in a Professor of Rock video. Anyone old enough are likely to have heard the song What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) which was a decent hit at the time.

I don't think I have thought of the band since then and either never realized it at the time or completely forgot they were from St. Paul.
 
A Perfect Circle's 2018 album "Eat The Elephant" has been in heavy rotation for me since November of 2024.

Behold a new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude
Good luck, you're on your own
Blessed are the fornicants
May we bend down to be their whores
Blessed are the rich
May we labor, deliver them more
Blessed are the envious
Bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain
Blessed are the gluttonous
May they feast us to famine and war
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
All doomed
All doomed
Behold a new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude
Good luck
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
What of the righteous?
What of the charitable?
What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent?
Doomed are the poor
Doomed are the peaceful
Doomed are the meek
Doomed are the merciful
For the word is now death
And the word is now without light
The new beatitude
Fuck the doomed, you're on your own
 
So I had listened to a lot of Annette Hanshaw and consider her one of the greatest vocalists of American music, but I took a deep dive into Ruth Etting and my god for a girl with an "aw shucks" image in the 1920s she is scalding sexy when you hear between the lines. Pretty much all of her songs are about fucking raw with no apologies.

This music was specifically (tactically, cynically) written so teens and 20-somethings could do the nasty right under the noses of their parents. And those slutty girls panting in the audience were... our grandmothers and great-grandmothers.

There was no sexual revolution. It has always been the same.

Shinedown, Ludacris, and a few other major acts have all bailed on "Rock The Country," the festival Kid Rock put together.

Anyway, I'm getting coffee.
