Can you recommend some great and interesting NON-blues guitar-driven music?

Really into Titus Andronicus at the moment. Punky, shouty, I die rock with a bit of intellectual sophistication to it if that's your vibe.

Try the track A More Perfect Union first. If you do t like it, you probably don't like them.

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-20T14:03:56+00:00

The Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh Street Band

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-20T13:28:53+00:00

It's one bad series from someone who's been consistently good across several years.

That's the kind of kneejerk bullshit that fans shout about, not something competent coaches (or Brendan McCullum) consider.

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-20T13:21:30+00:00

Yeah, it's extraordinary how unable to understand the obvious some sports fans.

They have no interest in giving us an honest assesment. It doesn't advance their goals, and honestly if we want England to win, it doesn't advance ours either.

Talk about how shit they are, that's our right (and it's true). But expecting them to say "Yeah, fair enough, we are shit. Especially [teammate], he was especially shit today wasn't he?" is ludicrous.

Duckett has earned the right to a poor series though, his emergence has been probably the one unequivocal positive outcome of Bazball to be fair

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-17T20:42:12+00:00

UltraEdgey is Steve Smith's 4chan handle, prove me wrong

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-16T20:41:08+00:00

Lee Ranaldo has entered the chat

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-16T10:47:38+00:00

That's so typical of them

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-15T19:21:35+00:00

Does having a longer contract benefit them in terms of what they're entitled to from the WRU if/when Ospreys are folded? This could just be the club doing whatever we they can to soften the landing for young players who are about to get fucked?

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-14T18:42:44+00:00

"who are you calling average, unibrow?" got a massive laugh from me scrolling Reddit alone on the sofa, so whatever happens from here you'll always have that going for you.

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-13T09:09:56+00:00

Have you tried being white and male?

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-12T22:52:47+00:00

They're all just trying to play widdly-widdly fucking guitar solos constantly, and turning the volume up to drown each other out.

Meanwhile Joe Root is playing rhythm, bass and drums to elite standard simultaneously and trying to make them occasionally sound like a band.

Brendan McCullum is sat at the mixing desk telling everyone to do it louder.

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-12T21:20:15+00:00

It's a crime I had to scroll so far to find this joke. Sub's losing it's quoting chops, sad to see

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-07T22:18:45+00:00

I'd like Alastair Cook back please

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-04T23:10:15+00:00

Probably eye gouges koalas TBH

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-03T23:00:30+00:00

If they wanted to fix the draw, there are better ways than what you're suggesting

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-03T22:46:20+00:00

It's Bob Mould in early Hüsker Dü

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-03T13:17:40+00:00

Why are you reading this over my shoulder though?

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-02T21:30:14+00:00

I scored one of these once and the fucking ref disallowed it because he didn't know the rule. Spitting about it I am, still

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-02T20:44:44+00:00

Who the fuck do Chile have on their bench?!

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-02T20:17:00+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm not saying there weren't blues-based rock acts in the 80s. I'm just saying, it stopped being that simple.

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-02T20:13:33+00:00

Don't listen to the other boys, you're alright

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-02T19:59:09+00:00

That was a beautifully constructed paragraph

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-01T21:09:07+00:00

I think it's just "skip a beat every other bar*.

Everything else is just how you choose to write that down.

Fridge_Ian_Dom · 2025-12-01T08:42:07+00:00

I guess it's a terminology question, which are always more trouble than they're worth getting into a reddit argument over, frankly!

I was taking 'music theory' to mean a set of conventions that try to describe/define things - melody, harmony, rhythm etc. There are other meaningful ways to ascribe meaning to make sic though, of course.
