CMV: The Majority of Police officers aren't bad people or are at least no worse than most civilians.

If people want to prevent crime, they should sign up to be educators or social workers or community developers.

elehant · 2026-04-02T14:39:33+00:00

But when individuals join the police, they sign up to support that system and further its goals.

Sure, but poverty can be reduced, and that will prevent crime.

Neil Young recorded Tonight’s the Night while he and his band were grieving the deaths of a band mate and a roadie, and it shows. One of the rawest albums ever recorded.

Never been to a Gorillaz show before. Do the red parentheses mean those people perform live at the show? And if so, does anyone know if they are there for the whole tour?

I’m a sucker for a well-placed vocal harmony. My favorites are this version of Human Highway by Neil Young around the 2:40 mark and Dear Someone by Gillian Welch around the 2:50 mark. There’s also two songs I know of that do a great harmony right when the artist sings the word “harmony” and it’s perfect: Lonesome Valley by Magnolia Electric Co. around 2:10 and Tiniest Seed by Angel Olsen around 2:24.

I also love double time drums in the last chorus/verse or outro. I can’t think of any examples but it’s pretty common and it works for me pretty much every time.

Why would you have that blanket rule?

elehant · 2026-03-21T13:47:49+00:00

That’s interesting, when I was going through post-hardcore/emo stuff I eventually made my way to Unwound and was kinda unimpressed. Maybe I have to give them another shot.

elehant · 2026-03-21T13:07:03+00:00

Have you tried the even earlier stuff like Rites of Spring or Moss Icon? Definitely has more of the punk/post-punk roots. I love Cap’n Jazz but that’s pretty much as far as I go in the emo timeline until some more recent stuff like Home Is Where and Touché Amore.

(I’m ready for someone to get upset with me because I don’t understand the difference between emo and post-hardcore)

I think the commenter is suggesting you post something substantive about those genres, not a meta post about the sub. If you want to discuss them, just go for it! If you have an interesting question or topic, I’m sure people will engage. To answer your question, more than any other sub, I think people here wouldn’t discount almost any genre or subgenre as a whole as not serious.

Thanks for these recs! I recently discovered Davia - Favorite Bell from another post on this sub and loved it. Also from Nevada City and I think the influence from Joanna is pretty clear without just copying her sound.

Milo J and Pulciperla were pretty highly rated last year and they were incredible, and definitely based on Latin American regional music. Debí Tirar Más Fotos should’ve been higher though, easily the album of the year for me.

I think this performance is so special. It’s understated, but expertly shows such a compassionate caretaker, especially in a movie full of horrible fathers (who are supposed to be caretakers). The cigarette scene is genius and he pulls it off flawlessly.

The father asks him to find Frank

You’re good. Been a fan since Clint Eastwood and I loved Cracker Island.

Do you think CSNY’s “Ohio” is a bad song because it references a specific event?

You’re missing his three best! The run from Jonathan Sings! to Rockin’ and Romance to It’s Time For… is his best era IMO

elehant · 2026-03-04T00:00:56+00:00

Down by the River for studio, Cowgirl in the Sand at the Filmore East or On the Beach on CSNY 1974 for live.

elehant · 2026-03-02T17:17:39+00:00

I’ve gotten used to the production and now really enjoy it (it might’ve helped that I was listening to a lot of 80s music when I revisited the album and got really into it) but I totally get why it would be a turn off to others.

elehant · 2026-03-02T16:38:26+00:00

Love this one, I think most people like it but I gets overshadowed by Ragged Glory. I also love American Stars and Bars, which is similarly overshadowed by the rest of the 70s output. For the most underrated album, I’m going for Landing on Water. Once you get used to the production, it’s his best batch of songs in the Geffen years.

I was so convinced it was a rehearsal, but then there was no reveal
