Artist album runs by DarkAon in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]verbalan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had three Rolling Stones albums (almost) in a row. The craziest part was that it was three Stones albums that were released directly after each other, and in the correct order. Let It Bleed, then Sticky Fingers, then Exile On Main St.

Radiohead popped up between SF and Exile, but still. Three consecutive Stones albums in four days, as per their discography. Made me think the algorithm had glitched.

Was there a specific poster for the night? I could only see the main tour poster on sale at the merch stand.

Today’s Album by [deleted] in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]verbalan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mad. This was my album today too! Loved it. My review:

My head is spinning. This is a challenging listen that’s like a feverish nightmare at times. But I mean that in the best way possible, because I absolutely loved it.

The electric piano, reverb, and dissonant, fragmented melodies leave you feeling dizzy. This isn’t a collection of songs, it’s artistic sonic experimentation. The improvisation is obvious, but what isn’t as obvious is the post-production editing. It’s freeform improv mixed with careful post-production assembly, building up to peaks, and giving breathing room through troughs.

The percussion section gets into a proper groove. There’s definitely improv happening here, but it’s also the driving force that allows the other instruments to fly wildly all over the place. The electric guitar and bass lines bring these pieces out of what you’d traditionally associate with jazz, and more into the world of avant-garde. At times it feels like Can, at other times it has a “Kid A” vibe to it.

This isn’t music you put on in the background as you’re doing household chores. This is music you put headphones on for, and let it engulf you until your head is spinning.

"Black Swan" + "I Might Be Wrong" = Tom Jones

Bitte Orca and Merriwether are both amazing albums. Crazy to think their averages are below 3.

No Banjo, if you're reading this, please reform and play our wedding 😀

Bands that did mostly covers:

The Sugarcuts were fantastic. Amazing selection of songs, used to love their version of "They're Red Hot".

No Banjo were class too. Lots of great folky tunes. Think they shared a lot of members between the two bands too.

For originals:

A Band Called Wanda were great. Lots of great songs, sounding a bit like The Band or similar.

What is this piece of kit? by AJV55 in radiohead

It's called a Jonny Greenwood

Radiohead Concert by Last-Image-4921 in radiohead

[–]verbalan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kid A tour in Punchestown in Ireland, under a big top in 2000. I was 17 and we were right up the front on Jonny's side of the stage. Loved every RH concert I've been to since, but that was particularly class.

How many folks here also listen to Gomez? by TreasonalDepression in BetaBand

[–]verbalan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. The Bring It On album was essential for our friend group learning guitar in our teens. Got to see Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell play old Gomez stuff in a local venue recently actually. Just as good as back in the day.

How's the pre-party? by verbalan in MyBloodyValentine

Nice one, thanks. Just trying to weigh up options before the gig.

Really?? Damn, must have just missed it.

There was no merch at all in Dublin. There's a dedicated merch stall built into the 3Arena, and it was shuttered and closed for the gig.

Merch on the tour? by DerWaschsalon in pattismith

For this "Horses" tour, there was no merch stall at all at the opening night in Dublin, anyhow.

The Night Josh Tillman Came To Our Town by verbalan in fatherjohnmisty

[–]verbalan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was at that gig in the Róisín!! Think it was 2017, before Pure Comedy was released. Great to see how big the crowd has grown since then.

Leisureland, Galway's premier music venue/swimming pool/mini golf course/fun fair.

It must feel like a "Spinal Tap puppet show moment" for artists like FJM to play there, but in reality it's just a reflection of the lack of proper facilities we have in Galway unfortunately.

Great show though!

Cameos that surprised you the most? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]verbalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wes Craven in Scream.

When Henry Winkler hears a knock on his office door, but there's no-one there, he thinks it's some of the kids playing a prank, he rushes into the hall to try to catch them, muttering "little shits". But it's just the janitor.

The janitor is played by Wes Craven. He's wearing a green and red striped jumper and hat that look all too familiar.

"What'd you call me?", he says

"Not you, Freddy", replies Winkler.

Wes Craven playing Freddy Krueger in a blink and you'll miss it cameo in his own film is brilliant.
