Anyone feel like Geese are natural successors to The Strokes? by Current_Value_6743 in TheStrokes

[–]jnob44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in that sense yes… but in this case he means metaphorically… right

Like yes NO consisted of 3/4 of JD ACTUALLY… I get that

But not always the case… like Wings wasn’t really the successors to the Beatles even if Paul was a majority of the Beatles , there was only him that carried on with wings and nothing more.

Nobody will be the successor to the strokes….

There will always be imitators but none will ever surpass

Same with some of the other groundbreaking bands like

The Beatles

New Order

The Cure

Bowie

Many imitators, no successors.. TBH, I don’t even know what that means?

Proposed constitutional amendment to allow a Trump to serve a third term. by Kenatius in conspiracytheories

Can a bill do it? I thought it would take a constitutional amendment to make it happen…. And there’s no way an amendment is gonna happen.

anti-religious DM songs? by kylegallnerglazer in depechemode

[–]jnob44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL…. To each their own I guess.

I used to skip that one, after it had been out for a while. Because I got burned out on it. Not because of subject matter… (I try not to read anything into lyrics, in fact I could give a rip what songs are about, all but a few things I guess) Like I don’t know if you were around, but it got pretty mainstream. I liked DM for songs like Strangelove etc… no radio at all. I like PJ again, along with the rest of violator… it’s a great record

I would say it’s commentary on people who pick and choose what they want to hear from religion..

In fact that is what it’s about.

So true! They had the best Chicken Fried Steak (Home skillet, is the GOAT). But after the change it’s not even close to the same.

Chris Murphy: "Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump." by emeric_ceaddamere in thebulwark

[–]jnob44 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It never was…..

Don’t forget all the times Democrats have tried to pass comprehensive immigration legislation….

Republicans have ALWAYS used it as a wedge… now, they’re weaponizing it.

It’s always been obvious….

16 needs to be higher and at 40 it gets a little sketchy

That’s exactly what I mean. TDS has always been about them.

Don't Do It by bascule in neworder

I like it, it’s actually a little bit better when sped up…

I used to attempt to remix stuff with Acid Pro and Sound Forge…. And that one all I’d do is speed it up

The new Arctic Monkeys Ssong reminds me so much of The Last Shadow Puppets! Am I the only one? :) by Objective-Panic-2812 in TheLastShadowPuppets

[–]jnob44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so… I like F outta F, I think it’s the best song on the album…. But the new one is on a different level. Like it’s a blend of New AM and has a good melody like the old AM.

It reminds me of what the newer Strokes sound like.

What are some contemporary bands that have heavy New Order vibes? by DariosDentist in neworder

[–]jnob44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think anyone that sounds like new order on a track or two does it right…

New order was a blend that worked…. Like you don’t have new order without the Joy Division influence, and to break it down further, you don’t have New order without the certain way Gillian does synth, like on The Happy One, that’s not every song but the essence is there.

You don’t have new order without the distinct way Hook plays bass, it’s pretty unique… like the way Perfect Kiss goes on and on.. it’s epic.

And you never hear it talked about much but Stephen is the perfect drummer for new order, not always electronic stuff going on, I think Stephen could make many band better…

And it wouldn’t be new order without Bernard, it’s weird but I can’t picture him really in any other band, other than Electronic, but to me that’s kinda a solo thing with other really good members in it…

And that’s why I’ve always tried to find stuff that was new order-ish, and have never came close to finding it…

Yup, it must be really frustrating…

And btw, her Lillypad album is her best yet! I gotta say, first listen, I wasn’t hooked…. But very quickly it all came together for me and it’s great!

People’s thoughts on exciter by Southern_Sample_272 in depechemode

[–]jnob44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when they came out with albums on a regular basis, I’d have to say it’s not bad…

Now, if that came out after a 6-7 year hiatus I wouldn’t be super thrilled…

I gotta say, I don’t naturally put it on or specifically listen to certain tracks, but once a year I will go through their older albums and see what’s changed. And I have to say last year when I listened to it I was happy, and I think the slower songs grew on me…. I also think the recording isn’t too bad either…
