What Are You Listening To Right Now (Part 15)

Beware of Darkness – “Muthafucka”

 
The Raconteurs – “Consoler of the Lonely”

hmm...verses sound like straight-up amphetamine abuse o_O

 
Battle Tapes – “Feel The Same”


I love the textures of the timbres, the mix and soundstage, and the juxtaposition of songcraft and style origins with the dirty electronics.
 
Battle Tapes – “Weight of the World”

 
Salvation – “Kill the Noise” ft. Mija

Battle Tapes and Beware of Darkness: you introduced me to two bands that I enjoyed exploring a bit on Spotify today. I like when that happens. :) Thanks!

No problem. :) I love the songwriting of Beware of Darkness, especially as reflected in the stylistic transition from ~2015 to now—dirty rock to NF singer-songwriter.

And Battle Tapes—I’ve been gorging because the mix of old-school comp with new-school timbre. Ear-candy for me.

“Etheriel”, by Lush


80’s dream-pop makes me happy :)

Me too. I love the earlier-period Lush—even had the opportunity to buy both Emma and Miki a drink before their show in Chicago so many years ago! ❤️

So your post is right on target!

I’m intrigued. Im not musically savvy enough to get that reference. :) I’ve only heard of jazz players “comping” chords and google reminded me that timbre is tonal color…

What a cool way for you to be able to connect with them and show your appreciation for their music. I bet they dug that.


I can only think of three occasions where I’ve actually met an artist that I’m a fan of. it’s always felt awkward and made me uncomfortable. The most comfortable interaction of the three, where I felt most myself in the interaction, was at a festival when Anton from The Brian Jonestown Massacre walked by me in a crowd. We had a half second of eye contact and I said simply, “thank you”. :) He acknowledged my sentiment with the slightest suggestion of a smile and walked past. The other two had me coming away feeling basicly socially retarded.

I think being able to buy an artist a drink and nod to them from across the bar when the bartender pointed to whom it came from would be the best!

That’s some smooth singing there. Reminds me of L. Vandross
