USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

Downloaded a Grainger Smith album. I had only heard the Earl Dibbles songs before, which I think are hilarious. I didn't know what to expect from Grainger's serious music, and it was pretty dang good. A little too pop for my style, but it wasn't terribly so. I think I'm going to download Tyler Farr's whole album before my drive home today, and listen to that. I've heard good things.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

So I recently heard "The Last Day of Summer" by The Cure for the first time. Anyone have recommendations based off that? I already have some Killing Joke, Husker Du, Replacements, etc.

The rest of the Cure's catalogue?

Bloodflowers is a good album and Disintegration is similar in many ways in tone to that song.

The Cure is one of those bands that I have a real hard time saying _______ band is similar.

That 120 minutes feel though can be found in the Chameleons, Echo, the Church, the Smiths (sorta)...

Story on yahoo front page that a 39-year-old English woman who had been deaf since birth received a cochlear implant and began to hear. The first song she heard in her life was "Imagine." Gave me goosebumps.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

This appears to be a series of videos, but this is the first time I've ever heard of it, Teens React to [fill in the blank band]. This episode is Nirvana, and it was released just this month, in honor of the 20th anniversary of Cobain's suicide.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

In honor of Gurt I am listening to Soul Asylum, Husker Du, The Replacements and The Suburbs. Definitely not The Violent Femmes.:D

Glad you got it (assumed you would :))

Do you? I actually like them, but it could be because I never got bombarded with their popular stuff. I think 3 is brilliant.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

My Minnesota playlist would include the Replacements, Trip Shakespeare, the Gear Daddies and the Jayhawks. Not that I don't like those others, but the aforementioned were my favs.

The 90s was an incredibly prolific era in Minnesota based, dare I say "homegrown," musical talent.

I might have mentioned this in the old concerts thread, but they opened for the Dead (believe it or not) at my first (Dead) show and it was also a first for me in another blotter paper kind of way and I had been at it all day and we did it again just before walking in. Well, it hit me a bit hard and I was struggling a little and all of a sudden the Femmes are onstage and we hadn't heard that they were opening and I just couldn't make sense of it and it nearly caused me to lose my mind. I was seriously like, "Just make them stop... please make them stop."

Funny to look back at now, but I've LOATHED them ever since. Really has very little to do with their actual material.

Bob, reading this list makes me sad. When I think of Florence and the Machine, I think of Kiss With a Fist.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

Probably be listening to King George a bit today, because it is the right thing to do.

"Ceremonials" is actually kind of depressing on the whole. Aside from "Shake It Out," "Spectrum," and "All This and Heaven Too," it's a sad album.
