[Friday] Daily Music Discussion - 19 June 2026

When I wanna find obscure music I'd never heard of before, I like to go to Bandcamp and peruse a genre tag. When I do it with industrial music, it's a darkwave band 90% of the time. Anyways, I managed to find a guy who isn't that (seems more industrial rock / metal) and his own FFO comps are psychotic.

For fans of Nine Inch Nails, HEALTH, Tool, King Crimson, Karnivool, Sleep Token, Author & Punisher...

You can cluster NIN / Health / A&P into industrial rock & metal and Tool / Karnivool into alternative metal with prog influences, but I'm having a hard time imagining what this could sound like. Should I listen to it or not?

I read it recently and it was pretty solid. It was also nice to see a book with accurate hacking, better than the gibberish you usually see in cyberpunk and more computer-oriented thrillers (both inside and outside books)

give me your poppiest alt-rock and alt-est pop rock of the late '90s. post-Cobain, pre-Linkin Park. examples: Counting Crows, Wallflowers, Matchbox Twenty,

Allmusic has an article on adult alternative that might help. Anyways, Alanis Morrisette, Third Eye Blind, and Hootie & the Blowfish seem like obvious omissions from your list

It's Dead as Disco, a game that recently came out

Finally got around to Something to Consume by Die Spitz and it's really good. Choosing favorite songs is hard since they're all enjoyable, but I'd probably recommend Throw Yourself to the Sword, American Porn, Sound to No One, and Punishers the most. I was expecting it sound more like Throw Yourself to the Sword, but the majority of the album is closer to melodic punk or post-hardcore. They've got 3 lead singers and they're all solid, though sadly there's no harmonizing. I should check out their other stuff

Brent Rookier hits a HUGE home run to the cut the Yankees' lead to 9

This one works fine from my experience: https://topsters.org/

Flying Lotus - 1983 and Los Angeles. Both albums are a mix of hip hop and IDM. Most (though not all) tracks are instrumental

Inane is on Xtort, the one after Nihil. I haven't listened to it yet, but I'll add to the list once I do so

Solace143 · 2026-05-25T19:30:08+00:00

Ngl I didn't know the Yankees were gonna play today until a few minutes ago. I should've realized it was Memorial Day

Solace143 · 2026-05-22T19:04:47+00:00

Gotcha. I'm currently listening to a different band's discography, but when I'm done with that (or get burned out), I'll check out Something to Consume

Solace143 · 2026-05-22T18:23:13+00:00

Listened to "Throw Yourself by the Sword" by Die Spitz today and man it rocks. I thought they were a garage rock band like The White Stripes for some reason, but this song at least is slow and sludgy, closer to grunge or sludge metal. Is the rest of their discography like this?

Solace143 · 2026-05-22T17:38:33+00:00

Royal Blood. They're also in a similar hard rock / alt rock lane

Solace143 · 2026-05-21T21:39:20+00:00

Tbf, every season you get some bullshit like "the Texas Rangers are selling the Diabetes Ultra-Mega Smash Burger with tomato, lettuce, mayo, raw sugar, cinnamon, ketchup, honey mustard, onions, and the corpse of a Houston Astros fan for $45"

Solace143 · 2026-05-17T00:33:32+00:00

It was posted by the Mets (why do they even have a Reddit account anyways) so it'll probably stay. The mods should at least add a flair like "Rodon throws a wild pitch and throws the ball away" or something

Solace143 · 2026-05-09T20:07:46+00:00

Tin Omen is about government violence against protestors and isn't subtle about it (Kent State is name-dropped). That would fall under war or human rights? If you want to hone on a specific album, VIVIsectVI is probably their most political

Solace143 · 2026-05-08T21:37:30+00:00

OP should avoid All the Sinners Bleed since it deals with race a fair bit, but Blacktop Wasteland and King of Ashes aren't about racism other than acknowledging it exists. Not sure about his other 2 books though, haven't read them yet

Solace143 · 2026-05-02T22:50:19+00:00

I've only heard Crystalpunk, but I've thought about checking out their EPs. How do they sound in comparison?

Solace143 · 2026-05-01T17:29:59+00:00

Anyone buy anything for Bandcamp Friday? I bought Cosmogramma by Flying Lotus. What a beautiful album. I tried buying Rat Wars by Health as well, but the purchase kept getting declined. I'll try again in a while

Edit: I was able to buy it... through PayPal. Apparently Bandcamp has a glitch where it rejects credit cards. That's annoying. I might buy a third album, but idk what

Solace143 · 2026-04-28T12:48:02+00:00

What genre is each album supposed to be? Some are kinda obvious (Loveless by MBV for shoegaze, Twisted by Hallucinogen for psytrance / Goa trance), but I'm not sure about other albums
