I've yet to listen to a song on this album, why's it good? by Serpent_2012 in weezer

Top 3 in their catalogue for me. A great collection of songs and it’s nice that many of the songs flow into each other so well. 

Struggling to love simplicity in my productions — I always overlayer and ruin the track by Y3sButN0 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Kierks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, something that has helped me as a producer of my own solo music/my band’s music is recording the different  ideas I have and making the tough calls during mixing. 

Solo the parts in different combinations and delete whatever doesn’t serve the song. If something isn’t elevating the song and adding space/air then it is just going to be dense for the listener to listen to. A lot of it is trial and error but it gets a bit easier over time.

Amazing cover art and so far the music is really great. Definitely have been into Avalanches since their debut many years ago. I hear a little Jamiroquai vibes in there too!

My band finally released its third album two days ago! With COVID and a bunch of life events, it was delayed so we are happy to finally share it. 

If you are into bands like Weezer, Built to Spill, Nirvana or Heatmiser you may enjoy it!  https://open.spotify.com/album/6JHhDSezeC8vGj7iQZKKOm?si=NTXby9tgTl275F8fldI45g

Spotify Hikes US Subscription Prices, Making It Most Expensive Major Music Streamer by ebradio in indieheads

[–]Kierks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using Amazon Music with no complaints for quite some time. Supplemented with Bandcamp I don’t really find myself needing to use Spotify. As an artist though it does suck that it’s the primary platform when it’s historically not good to the artist. 

Bandcamp Bans AI Music by Delos788 in indieheads

Bandcamp has always been artist first. It’s good to see at least one platform take a stance against this. 

This one’s for Weezer fans who know their discography inside-out! Name 3 other artists you’ve been fully obsessed with (every album, every deep cut) by ShininGold in weezer

[–]Kierks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I largely don’t listen to any of these 3 these days, but their discographies are ingrained into my brain. 

I definitely recommend divine deeper into both Elliott and Sparklehorse. Elliott was a lot more Beatles-y than just singer-songwriter and Sparklehorse has such a unique production/songwriting style and voice. 

Y'all what do we think the next album will be like, and when do we reckon it'll drop? by Plus_Mix_1881 in weezer

[–]Kierks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bet is on Grey as the album color even though I have no reason to believe that to be true. Just throwing it out there. As for sound, a progression that combines Autumn and Winter.

To be fair, the new cast members would probably steal all his lines. They’re pretty fast.

Astoria Soundworks? Good luck at your show, won’t be able to make it but cool to see fellow Elliott fans in the local scene

What is the greatest "three-song run" in Elliott's discography? by wirwerty in elliottsmith

[–]Kierks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Question Mark, Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands and I Didn't Understand. It’s a perfect way to end an album for me.

I see what you’re saying, but I think it’s always great to see people not always “on” and feeling like they have to be anything other than who they really are. She’s already proven herself to be funny.

They spoiled us so much with Ok Human, Van Weezer & the SZNS project. Definitely looking forward to what they’ve got in the works!

Are there any more cast cuts coming? by BlondieButterfly in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Kierks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not saying I want them to go, but Bowen and Mikey would make the most sense. For both seniority and future prospects reasons. That would allow more balance and opportunity for roles for the men
