USCHO Music: From Queen to The Beatles to Lady Gaga

T-Swizzle's new album streamed at midnight last night. Pretty sure there's only like three Swifties on this board so I won't dwell. Solid B on the first listen. The bouncier beats have a yacht rock flavor to them.


Honestly was more excited about seeing Cascada perform live last night. Still regaining my hearing and my millenial knees are reminding me that them AND "Everytime we Touch" are both 20 years older than when they first bopped to that song.

Cascada still has it. So glad to have gotten (almost) front row tickets.

Please tell me the crone-impersonator in that pic is not Ratface. We have aged, but we haven't aged that much.

Tell me you saw T-Swizzle and immediately scrolled past the post without reading without telling me... 😂

That's Natalie Horler, better known as the singing voice of techno group Cadcada.

A band where any attack is guaranteed to get at least one butt-hurt response just shows they benefited from aggressive marketing to impressionable people with poor impulse control. The perfect consumer.

Oh and like I posted on bsky, the bass riff on Ruin the Friendship sounds like it was off something the flaming lips would feature.

There's a few songs that have influence. Obviously Father Figure and George Michael (credited). Actually Romantic has a Weezer sound to it. Wood has a Jackson 5 sound to it. Everything else has a bouncy soft rock feel (very Yacht Rock sounding).

And the overall theme, the life of a showgirl (glitz and glamor of Elizabeth Taylor, the struggle of owning her masters with Father Figure, the connecting with a lover in Wood, and the title track to end the album) all make it feel like its "Journey - Faithfully (42 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)."

Bless your heart. I ignore most of your Beatles blathering which actually sounds butt hurt. I was laughing it off Kep - get over yourself.

Like I said, the way people rise to it makes you think.

Here's the best way to test it. The Beatles were a good band who influenced better bands. "The Beatles" was a marketing phenomenon that probably drove more FOMO purchasing than any other in the history of entertainment commerce.

The Beatles should be in the HOF for their music as a top 10 60's act. Put them just above the Doors and below James Brown -- say, 7th. "The Beatles" are a brand that puts Brian Epstein on the Rushmore of hype. The fact that people tie their entire identities to it like a religious cult makes it closer to MAGA than Beyhive.

Your stubborn defiance makes one think more.

The list of artists both musical and cultural from the full span of the past 60 years that would cite them is vast and undeniable. Also easy to find. I'll leave it at that because you're either trolling or out of your depths.

NEW YORK (AP) — Five years after their influential drummer and lyricist Neil Peart died of glioblastoma, the Canadian band Rush have announced a reunion tour.

On Monday, Rush co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson revealed a 12-date, seven city tour is scheduled for summer 2026, kicking off in June at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles — where the band played their final show in 2015.

The reunion tour will end in Cleveland in September 2026. They’ll also hit Mexico City, Fort Worth, Texas, Chicago, New York and Toronto.

Taking Peart’s place is celebrated German composer and producer Anika Nilles. She has previously toured with Jeff Beck.

Main influences are Jeff Porcaro, Carter Beauford, and Jojo Mayer?
