I'm currently listening to...

[dionysus]

no specific tunes, just got the 80s tunes right cranked, having a feel-good day

the ol' fat bastich just snorin' away (the dog), actually wakes when the music pauses; like his lullaby

 

[goatwack]

Crikey. Would one look at the time

Saw Deadmaus at Earls Court but the highlight was Zane Lowe who stood in for Hoxton Whores. He is an amazing DJ. I think Deadmaus was the first and last dance act to play Earls Court and was an amazing show.

This next song is a fav but only half of it. Its 2 in one really, changes half way through.

 

[bamberfishcake]

Slight change.....this never gets old for me, im great on air guitar if i say so myself...

 

[dionysus]

good tune appropo for year's end

 

[dionysus]

..and coming into a new year

 

[goatwack]

Literally just watching this on BET channel. Auw! Get down!

There's a chance I've posted this song before. I do not care. Ghost has been on top of my playlist for the last six months and I dare to say they are the most significant band of the last 10 years. Good bye 2019, welcome 2020.

 

[dionysus]

enjoy ya nights all

I think it was @incrediblestuff who posted about Babymetal back in the year 2016. I've listened to their songs on and off and didn't know how to react to them and their music. Since it's 2020 now, and it's clear that they can not be classified as a novelty act anymore, I find myself listening to them more and more.

Do you need to understand the lyrics to enjoy the music? I don't think so. The more I listen to these songs, the more I love them. The band is tight as hell, the vocalist (Suzuka Nakamoto) has one of the most incredible voices around, and some of their songs are pure work of art.

I'll upgrade Babymetal to one of the most important metal acts of the 21st century (accompanied with Ghost naturally). It's really a pleasure to see the most refreshing music coming from places like Sweden and Japan these days (instead the old boring US/UK scene).

gave it about 30 seconds
I guess the screeching is why it's not my genre Now her alone, maybe

Whats not to like.

It's an acquired taste for sure. I was not a fan when I first heard their songs. Pretty much the same thing that happened with Ghost and me. But I do listen to a lot of music. A lot. And some bands and songs just grow on me. It's pretty much the same thing with food, wine, women and other important things in life. Personal preferences

I really enjoy alternative rock
but for the ones where it's a wail rather than a note

For me the most important thing about music has always been (probably) a certain melancholy, or mood in general. And I like music with with either a mean beat or massive wall of sound. The usual pop or hiphop/r'n'b crap which you hear from every orifice of the modern society makes me puke most of the time.

I've been talking about Babymetal for a while now, so I find your lack of faith disturbing

Sure, at first they seem K-Pop and gimmicky, but actually, get past the initial strangeness and their music (on both albums I perused) is v.good

Live they are excellent too, though a tad bemusing to a hardened rock crowd. Still, watching Chad Smith play drums on one of their songs, in a mask, was lit

Great band

And now, it saddens me to say, Ternur.....you are excommunicado

What can I say Goaty. I've made it clear that I'm not the sharpest tool in the box. A tool I most certainly am.

That being said, I agree with what you posted here 100%. I even found a reference to a ʇ song there, so I'm happy.

 

[ternur]

A Japanese band singing about fruit (?) with a special guest by a Thai rapper? Poppy song with a metal backbone? Funny as hell and a great feel good song. The Clergy approves.

 

[ternur]

While on the topic of happy songs, here's a YOLO song.

 

[goatwack]

Video kinda reminds me of Bambi

 

[goatwack]

 

[ternur]

Incubus is a great band. They always remind me of Weezer somehow.

 

[ternur]

This is a weird one. Featuring Sabaton's vocalist and the result is metal polka? Love it!

 

[ternur]

'ola Sheffield. Mellow atmosphere, nice song.
