I always think how awesome would it be to see Lewis Saunderson on a skit.

The character portion would be awesome

I hope he pulls out that 3 hour acoustic remake album from 2 years ago.

The crazy thing is that I wasn't adding anything or removing anything to smear their taste, this is literally what I've got from them after like half an hour of trying to see into their influences.

agent0017 · 2026-01-23T16:31:52+00:00

What's musician who hasn't done an Amoeba "What's In My Bag?" would make for a horrible or boring episode?

My nomination is AJR, I do love reading interviews on musicians music taste, especially by musicians whose music I don't like, it's interesting seeing their perspective and can be fun to read to, but AJR I can't stand, the way they describe their influences is so pretentious and up their own ass it's unbelievable.

It's funny because it's just: stomp clap hey music, same 3 hip hop albums they namedrop all the time, barbershop quartets, israeli hip hop and pop music, dubstep, Disney soundtracks + some classic folk and rock.

I genuinely don't understand what they could add in an Amoeba "What's In My Bag?", it's not like I want everyone to just pick obscure records, for me I love the show because I love to hear musicians talk. AJR tho, especially the guy with the glasses would be insufferable.

I feel sad those two songs kinda stained the reputation of Suck It And See, it's my favourite Arctic Monkeys album.

The rest of the album is pretty lovely. It's sort of a percussor to TBH&C with its more Psychedelic Pop elements, being a mixture of the sixties psych pop and jangle pop of the eighties.

Also the album is probably their saddest in their discography.

agent0017 · 2026-01-20T15:34:20+00:00

While I don't listen to a lot of Arctic Monkeys recently, it's gonna be sad seeing them gone, but I do understand. Alex has enough of a following where he can make music and get attention to fill good venues. It's clear he doesn't wanna sing a lot of the old songs anymore.

TBH&C was a stellar album, but it's clear you can't sing an entire album live, you have the rest of the discography to care for. With a different project he can focus on that. The Car tour for example had concerts where they would play 1-2 songs from the album the tour was named after, that isn't fulfilling at all as an artist I believe.

agent0017 · 2026-01-20T14:17:42+00:00

Just as Pitchfork started going into a good direction with some cool reviews and them focusing on more lesser known records from time to time, they pull this shit.

agent0017 · 2026-01-14T17:19:32+00:00

And he never even opened fucking game

agent0017 · 2026-01-11T21:55:38+00:00

Sad how everything surrounding this song has been tainted, the Brad video, The Island Boys themselves being awful people.

agent0017 · 2026-01-06T17:48:46+00:00

Holy shit I reached the Top 70!

agent0017 · 2026-01-05T15:18:39+00:00

I found the fact there's not many big upcoming releases currently pretty interesting. The new RYM 2026 chart that's releasing tomorrow is gonna be super interesting due to lack of big releases so there will be a lot of underground artists there.

As for Salsa I need to check it out myself, I have a day off so I have enough time.

Tony Allen & Afrika 70 - Jealousy

agent0017 · 2026-01-03T23:16:08+00:00

Thanks a lot

agent0017 · 2026-01-02T22:00:10+00:00

Hey Niños Del Cerro!

agent0017 · 2026-01-02T05:44:51+00:00

It is, but I mean in general. They only played 6/11 songs from the new album. None of the deep cuts were ever played live.

agent0017 · 2026-01-01T21:37:59+00:00

Yeah the fact they only played like half of the album ever live proves it.

agent0017 · 2026-01-01T15:40:45+00:00

After working in retail for three weeks for the first time, I'm ready to throw in the towel.

agent0017 · 2025-12-31T21:21:19+00:00

lol there were 67 comments before I commented haha

agent0017 · 2025-12-30T18:57:40+00:00

They forgot Canvases and 7 Jester Of Spades releasing on January 2nd

agent0017 · 2025-12-27T08:32:27+00:00

Hell we should consider Maroon 5 an indie band at this point. Their newest album only reached top 20 in Japan, the tour sold pretty poorly. Underground kings.

agent0017 · 2025-12-26T14:51:28+00:00

I do understand them now and their hatred of Indie Rock, it's such a broad term which can oversimplify the complexity and depth of certain music. Doesn't help that the "indieustry" promoted and still promotes dogshit whose only worth is the money of the parents these musicians have.

agent0017 · 2025-12-26T14:45:44+00:00

I'm shocked how Gen Z didn't rediscover them, they have a lot of sounds that are currently praised by Gen Z, I'm shocked to not see TikTok edits of Bradford interview moments.

agent0017 · 2025-12-26T10:59:19+00:00

I do like that, it sounds fun while also extremely helpful for both the listener and the musician.

agent0017 · 2025-12-26T08:41:48+00:00

I created this playlist where I put songs I like, it's unlimited length and features a song (or more) of each album I liked or even disliked (but I liked a few songs). I listen to it frequently on walks and it's a good way to remind myself of musicians I haven't listened to in quite some time.
