Random musical chat.

[Carvalho Diablo]

No idea about Metallica as I don't really listen to them, sounds like he had a horrible snare drum tightened up to fuck from what you're saying but not sure.

 

 

I find a lot of metal drum sounds pretty unlistenable to be honest, prefer the old Motown/Atlantic/Stax stuff.

 

St Anger is Pro Tooled to fuck, Ulrich just can't play any more, he is terrible, and the drum sound (snare drum esp) sounds like an horrendous sample.

Yeah i'm the same way, love the Motown drum sound, Atlantic soul, just the 60's and 70's in general had the best drum sounds. The 90's had some great drum sounds as well with the grunge era.

 

I agree on the metal drummer thing sounding so indistinguishable nowadays, it seems like it's a race to play the double kick drum at a 1000mph like this kind of stuff.

Talking of Stax hard to find two better house/studio bands than these two

it's just shit.  Musicality always wins over technique.  Listen to the nerds lapping it up.  They wouldn't know a decent drummer if s/he shagged their mums.

Ginger Baker's Airforce touring in the Spring.

 

I'm in two minds, £32 a ticket is a bit steep but it'll likely be the last chance to see him/them before he retires.

Look at the state of these crackers

As an aside I saw Drive By Truckers a few months back and the opening band - cant remember who they were - was the loudest thing I have ever had to endure.

New Massive Attack EP out now, Rising Spirit. I've had 3 listens now and enjoyed it. Which was nice.

Iggy is bringing his Josh Homme Post Pop Depression thing over to Amsterdam as part of a tour but tickets start at 59 euro and it's seating only. He might not even play I Got My Cock In My Pocket.

Great shout there. Some talent on that isn't there? Tricky, Young Fathers, Roots Manuva...pretty tasty.

Heard this on The Rider Podcast this week and apparently she's an 18 year old from Walsall who is still working in a coffee shop. I'd imagine that will be coming to an end pretty soon as she'll almost certainly be huge:

Sad news about Colin Vearncombe.

Terrible news.  I was hoping to get to finally see him this year, gutted about that.  Tremendously underrated vocalist and songwriter.

You better get down on your knees and SUCK MY DICK, because if you don't, you're gonna be dead

Been listening to some Jamie Woon and it's pretty good stuff. Laid back soulful stuff with some good production. The old fella bought some tickets to go and see him and I'm pretty glad I said I'd go with him now, should be decent.

So I took my first dip into gig promotion and helped organise a show in a venue close to my house, the gig was for John Murry and Cait O'Riordan (ex-Pogues and ex Mrs Elvis Costello). It was fantastic and we managed to break even actually a very small profit (all of which went to the artists). Cait and John had dinner in my house and John also stayed. After the gig he, my son, myself and some friends had a "pass the guitar" session until 6 AM. My son, jamming with John Murry was the best musical experience of my life, hands down. An Irish TV company made a film of part of it if anyone is interested...

Seperated at birth, Paloma Faith and Brian Connolly from The Sweet.

Watching the Jonathan Ross show, this Craig David cunt wants shooting. He just sang the lyrics to one of his shite songs during the interview, Ross and the other three guests all looked like they wanted the ground to swallow them up.

 

 

Cringefest 2016.

I'm going through a Herbie Hancock phase at the moment, Thrust was on full blast last night, he is funkier than a mosquito's tweeter.

 

I need to get more of his 70s stuff, only got three albums at the moment (Thrust, Crossings & Sextant).

[cloggypop]

From now on I am going to read TK's posts in Pingu's voice

Cracking up reading some of Kanye West's tweets over the past few weeks. Anyone listened to the new album yet?
