USCHO Music: From Queen to The Beatles to Lady Gaga

[Slap Shot]

Jeff Tweedy has a triple solo album out. I am only through #1 so far but it was sublime. Hope it continues.

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.

Better known to whom?

Did John Lennon steal your girlfriend or something?

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.

Me. Natalie is like 1-2 with Mandy Moore for me.

I thought the new album is pretty solid. Couple of solid bangers. Love the vibe of the music.

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)."

Fuck journey. They’re terrible.

Otherwise yeah, I can see that

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