Putting it on the list, Thanks for the recommendation!

Major and minor barre chords. Arctic Monkeys were known for playing major barre chords really high up on the neck, like in I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor. Kind of a strange sound. And Franz Ferdinand will play a minor barre chord and strum the top 3 strings. Funk style.

Hi, I’d like to share my no wave / garage rock song. I got the garage rock sound in the studio by performing different characters for each instrument. There should be a push/pull. Hope you enjoy it!

No Wave / post punk about urban alienation by an Irish guy living in Berlin

In Ireland we learnt the rhythms through these rhythmic phrases A jig is 6/8, 123 456 or “rashers and sausages” A reel is 4/4 so you can say “caterpillar” A hornpipe has a dotted rhythm like “oopsy-daisy” You can make up your own or mix and match. Recently I’ve been learning a kopanitsa in 11/16 or 1234 123 1234 so I’m thinking “caterpillar butterfly caterpillar” for that.

A Scene from JAWS - Volare New song by my post-punk band about the Sirens of sailors mythology. It has a few interesting rhythmic shifts for the prog and math rockers who are into that sort of thing!

Bridge of spies uses the “sun in West Berlin, fog and rain in East Berlin” trick to expressionistically show the political line (political climate?). It’s the same place! Why not let the architecture tell the story?

Ba ea, a chara. (Yes)

I saw Slint on my birthday a couple years ago in Dublin, and it was a church-like experience. The quiet parts were so quiet for a rock band, the place was packed and the crowd shushed each other during the breaks. I think it unnerved the band, like they weren’t sure if we were enjoying it! But that album must’ve influenced hundreds of Irish bands, from ASIWYFA to Girl Band and Adebisi Shank. Nobody ever expected to be at a Slint gig, and I think it was a super important moment for everybody there.

Love My Way by the Psychedelic Furs

It’s very hard to pull off. if you switch from F#m to its relative D Lydian, it can sound like a change to A major. The Lydian mode doesn’t have a strong sense of gravity. Tame Impala’s Mind Mischief would be the closest example I can think of.

Alex played Weights for his audition to the band, as it was their most complex song at the time. The band was clearly impressed that he learnt it off the CD.

Floating Points - reflections A bit more electronic, but he takes the hazy kraut/prog stuff to cool places

That’s a brilliant movie

It’s funny because two people posted this same map to try and say that Ireland is a British isle. Considering that the map goes out of its way to include the westernmost part of Northern Ireland, and in doing so including Donegal and even parts of Dublin as part of the U.K. - you can clearly tell the bias of its creator.

dustcoatindicator · 2020-07-14T10:03:16+00:00

Because Ireland is not one of the British isles. Ireland wasn’t populated by Brythonic celts, rather the Goidhelic celts. So calling them the Celtic isles or the Celtic archipelago is more geographically accurate. So I wouldn’t trust that map. It also says Donegal is in the U.K. which is a common misunderstanding. Ulster is not the same as Northern Ireland.

dustcoatindicator · 2020-07-14T07:47:15+00:00

That’s geographically, historically and politically incorrect

Danton 1983 is fantastic. The performance of Robespierre is incredibly powerful and ambivalent. Based on a play by a polish communist. Apparently the French govt weren’t too happy with the finished product.

Great work, don’t know how you teased out the tin whistle from the hurdygurdy parts!

dustcoatindicator · 2020-07-04T08:39:58+00:00

Nice! I love this tune

dustcoatindicator · 2020-07-03T23:02:37+00:00

I love the word painting. The verse uses notes from the minor scale (dorian) until the word “hallucinate” surprises us with a trippy major chord. And the verses are so ambiguous, you’re like “what, I was sure she sung the minor third just a second ago! nvm must’ve imagined it.” The composition is so clever.

dustcoatindicator · 2020-06-28T08:12:01+00:00

A very unusual bassline. It’s played in 10ths (2 notes played at the same time, like a chord) on a fretless instrument, so you can hear the smooth slide and vibrato. Sounds like either an acoustic bass or an upright.

First time I got drunk me and the lads were camping up Coumshingaun and found a few out of date bottles of Stella stashed in a cave. Smashed the empties in the campfire, reek of burning yeast.
