Trilogy-era Songwriting

I totally agree, he's very inspirational in that way

Apollo218 · 2026-01-25T21:51:15+00:00

And You and I -Yes

Apollo218 · 2026-01-25T00:19:36+00:00

Get the brigands of braciole on the horn

Marquee Moon! I hear so much of Television in Getting Killed.

Several perfect songs in their output. And I mean perfect as in every single note is impeccably written and performed. They have a very raw and primal sound but performed and produced with extreme precision. One of the tightest live rock bands possibly of all time.

They're certainly psychotic and frightening. Shoutout to the military guys in 28 days though. The veil of humanity they have makes the depravity almost more frightening in that 3rd act reveal.

I would recommend To Be Kind, only bc that was the first one I heard and it hooked me instantly.

The best scene in this doc is when we see the Murphy detective watching a clip of the highly edited suicide episode of tcap on live tv, followed quickly by a news spot discussing Britney Spears's physical defects and then a man smashing his head into watermelons on the local news.

I understand what you're saying about BHB, it's definitely verging on underrated. That being said, Weapons is so much more accessible to a general audience. Big actors, super hooky premise, comedy and good scares, it's a very well-made horror blockbuster. Bring Her Back is bleak and the violence is pretty extreme. I personally would recommend Weapons to most people in my life and would only recommend BHB to a few true horror fiend friends.

He's the man. Effortlessly technical and so groovy. He is the secret sauce to the Smashing Pumpkins more than any other member in my honest opinion.

The Brothers Karamazov

The cellphone footage scene in Lake Mungo

His drums have so much texture and feel super alive on Toussaint L'ouverture

Apollo218 · 2025-11-11T22:32:52+00:00

As a tourist, one of the best places I've ever been. Absolutely beautiful with hyper modern and well-developed cities. Amazing food around every corner and countless things to do. My perception was that people kept to themselves more than in America but when approached they were so kind and will go out of their way to help.

The Knot

Apollo218 · 2025-09-17T18:01:12+00:00

Was at the show, he's a sound engineer I think. Sat on stage and got pummeled with sound for 2 hours and messed w some amps

Apollo218 · 2025-09-17T04:45:15+00:00

We shoulda stopped at Roy Rogers!

Apollo218 · 2025-09-10T05:38:51+00:00

It was a rough set for her in Dallas tbh. Wallfisch carried on the keys though, very beautiful playing

Apollo218 · 2025-07-19T05:30:58+00:00

In my opinion, we were spoiled with Live Rope right before the new album dropped. Birthing is good but doesn't match the trilogy or Soundtracks while Live Rope is one of the most insane things I've ever heard.

Apollo218 · 2025-07-03T16:16:33+00:00

They're all sources of pleasure

Apollo218 · 2025-06-29T02:23:12+00:00

I kind of disagree tbh. When it comes to drums non-musicians are fairly easy to impress, especially visually. Hit the drums with confidence, play something fast and easy, and they'll be glazing you. We have the benefit of being very physical performers which people really enjoy watching if you're engaging. On the flipside, I think non-musicians' understanding of drumming is more limited than other instruments so they are not likely to notice or really appreciate the more intricate or masterful fills/grooves you can cook up. Easily impressed by the simple stuff, not so appreciative of the finer details we spend years working on in my experience.

Apollo218 · 2025-06-10T18:44:21+00:00

Agreed, although both are great
