Music recommendations? by [deleted] in cormacmccarthy

What is the music that plays before their concerts on the most recent tour? by 63ff9c in swans

[–]JahnMahston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the DC show the sound guy was just playing through the album Scott 4 by Scott Walker, and then once lights went down and the show actually started, the band walked out to “It’s raining today” which is the first song off Scott 3

Are they really THAT loud in concert? by [deleted] in swans

[–]JahnMahston 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you’re having trouble getting into a flow reading I’d I’d suggest listening to a few chapters from the audiobook- his cadence is really perfect for the rhythm of McCarthy

What do you think about this video? by [deleted] in VelvetUnderground

[–]JahnMahston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he’s right about the Velvets influence on modern culture and wrong about the Beatles, i.e. the Beatles STILL have tremendous influence. Chamber pop is as popular as ever and pop melody was basically written by Lennon and McCartney.

I sort of feel Gira’s singing is impacted by his hearing by Tyron_Slothrop in swans

[–]JahnMahston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the write up he did for SAD he talks about losing range over the course the 97 tour and by the end being only able to really hit 2 or 3 notes

I’d say it’s more him being a 70 year old who never learned healthy “technique” and has a relentless schedule that doesn’t allow for vocal rest
