Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

Nookie Jones was playing at the MN State Fair today, The Current (MN Public Radio) broadcast it. Loved the set. Old school horns, soul, a little funk....loved it. Highly recommend.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

Attended my first music festival (BBQ V) in over 25 years yesterday... what a fool for waiting so long. Truly regret not getting a camping pass and spending the weekend there (and no, this is not a contact buzz talkin'!)... next year!! Weather-depending of course, ‘cause “the Wife’s” idea of camping is a Holiday Inn with a pool... I will have a hard-enough time to get her to spend the night in a tent let-alone a tent in the rain! :eek:

Quite a few local bands... Viva Mayhem (Ithaca-based) was outstanding, and Driftwood did not disappoint. However, Ryan Montbleau is an absolute treasure. I got hooked on his music with ’75 and Sunny’, but his live performance in that music festival environment/atmosphere was stellar. Performances of that tune and ‘Ships in the Night’ were moving to say the least. We are certainly not going “full groupie” on his band, but we will make efforts to see him again whenever possible (unfortunately next weekend in Sterling is out :( ). Amazed that his band does not have more exposure.

Can’t believe I am getting bit with the music festival bug again in my 50’s, but I truly had forgotten what I was missing. One-a-year ought to satisfy that bug... for however much longer I can ‘feed it’. (Speaking of which, NO TICKS!! Woohoo!).

Cheers,
~TTF

I'm embarrassed to say that I thought Moby was ever a decent artist. I've checked out so many good techno/EDM artists that are way better than he ever dreamed of being.

I'll agree with you there.

Pet Peeve, though. EDM fans get PIZZED when you call their music "techno." Um, it IS techno. There are many kinds of techno, EDM is an equally generic name for that style of music. Thank you.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

Other than checking out EDM, though, I've been listening to a lot of strong female voices. Still a fan of Sara Bareilles, Norah Jones, Ingrid Michaelson, Lana Del Rey, Florence (+ the Machine), Anna Nalick, Mazzy Star with Hope Sandoval, Beth Gibbons with Portishead, Shirley Manson...

Is there where I get to admit my love of 90’s-2000’s Euro techno/EDM?

Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

I went to the last day of Psycho Las Vegas last weekend. Man, that was a ton of fun. Opeth, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Warhorse, Vio-Lence, Truckfighters, 1349, Kadaver...

It was weird seeing a black metal band in full corpse paint playing in 105 degree heat, outside at a stage literally built into a beach, but kind of neat.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

Tomorrow, I'm hitting "Play All" on my Outkast folder. All I have is Stankonia and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, but that will keep me motivated during strength training.

I'm a mid-40YO guy. "bad guy" by Billie Eillish came on this weekend at the local brewery, I said I love this song, and the 20-something beertender was asking if I was being sarcastic. Nope. Got into a music discussion, and he was surprised at the variety of my tastes (the other one that surprised him was Lizzo).
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

I also listen to Ludacris and Outkast. This generation is all "Keke, do you love me?"

My generation: "MOVE, B-TCH! GET OUT THE WAY!"

My wife, some friends and I were at the Fair last Friday. Belinda Carlisle, of all people, was playing at the Leinie's Bandshell free music stage. Two songs in she announces that she's going to sing something from her first album, from "way back in the '80's."

"Who remembers the '80's" she asks, and the crowd cheered. "Good, I'm glad someone does. I sure don't" she responded. :D


By the way, she still looked good. Not the Go-Go's chubby Belinda. This was cocaine hot Belinda.
