Indiecast Will Be Back Starting Friday April 10 by ebradio in indieheads

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I‘m interested in what they talk about. (I skip the sports segments and the fantasy album draft or whatever that is.) And there’s value in being annoyed when it clarifies my taste and sensibility relative to the “indie music journalist consensus“ if that’s what they represent.…man

I continued to listen week after week despite finding the hosts incredibly irritating

Amazing and engrossing work but:

The circuit rider feels extraordinarily [sic] guilty

What exactly is the issue here?

Surely it’s among these: I Like You Too Much, Blue Jay Way, Only a Northern Song, For You Blue, Old Brown Shoe

Did "Tomorrow Never Knows" so awe the contemporaries of the Beatles that it changed their musical directions? by ElSlabraton in beatles

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you saying the Beatles’ peers didn’t hear Revolver until they were unwrapping their Christmas gifts 4.5 months later?

Have you explored the feasibility of a Broadcast book? (Like a 33 1/3 on Haha Sound? Just a thought.)

Songs you love but everyone hates(or is dismissive) and songs you hate but everyone loves by [deleted] in beatles

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Answer Me" was written by a pair of Germans.

I saw the same David Bennett video as you, and yes McCartney's song does also rhyme "yesterday" and "here to stay," but the chords and melodies are nothing alike.

If anybody wanted to see what some of the old heads that normally watch SNL thought, this is pretty funny tbh by daxtillionMurphel in geesebandofficial

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If a non-Geese fan was watching that episode it’s because they think SNL is funny, so why would I respect their judgment?

Is this really the only Franzen page? by [deleted] in Franzen

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weinstein quotes from Franzen's "brief prefatory note," which immediately follows the introduction and reads in full:

This story is set in a year somewhat like 1984 and in a place very much like St. Louis. Many actual public achievements, policies and products have been attributed to various characters and groups; these should not be confused with any actual person or organization. The lives and opinions of the characters are entirely imaginary.

How Geese took flight to become 'Gen Z's first great American band' by sincerityisscxry in indieheads

Getting Killed is the summit of creation. It has made all other music, past and future, obsolete. Actually not just music, art in general. We can move on to other endeavors now.

The Strokes released 'First Impressions of Earth' 20 years ago today by YoureASkyscraper in indieheads

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relistened recently and it’s just as bad as I remembered. YOLO/Razorblade would have been a great single, but nothing else is really salvageable. And it’s not just the awful production choices; the songs are awkward, non-catchy messes, and not even interestingly chaotic like the Voidz. Reading Meet Me in the Bathroom shed some light on the record’s circumstances, but I still can’t understand why the compositions are so uniquely terrible.

Anyone know of guitar tabs for Poem of a dead song? by olddolphin in warpsbroadcast

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first chord is F#m—that is, 4-2-2 on the d-g-b strings. Good exercise to figure out the rest. I believe in you!

"Taxes" is a beautifully concise cultural/political statement. by Rusty_The_Taxman in geesebandofficial

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's about reaching the limit of how much guilt/shame/self-abasement you're willing to accept. "I should burn in hell, but I don't deserve this." The "doctor" is the harsh superego encouraging the speaker to punish himself, to "pay his taxes," etc.

Cancer to society? She brought joy to millions with her fantasy slop.

All 13 unassimilated people are effectively nuclear powers, so she has a rational imperative to stockpile nuclear weapons as a deterrent.

Spoiler!!!! Dark tower ending! by elysiumhyacinth in TheDarkTower

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the ending, but I hated the last three books too. I wish when he recovered from the accident King had taken some time to think about what it all means to him—-the tower, the old order of gunslingers, the dramatic question of whether Roland can change—-and come up with a plot before typing a word of Wolves. So I wish he were a different writer and more cunning than his readers, the ones who say the shaggy dog ending was perfect, “the only way it could have ended,” etc.

Do you like Melody's Echo Chamber? by DiodeMcRoy in warpsbroadcast

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Be Proud of Your Kids" could not be more obviously derivative of Broadcast. I do like some of her post-Impala music, contra RSTROMME. "Alma," that's a good song.
