What are you listening to II: Electric Bogaloo
- Thread starter CynicismKills
- Start date
Tuned in to radioparadise.com a couple weeks ago for the first time in years and got blindsided by the first one at exactly the right/wrong time, dunno if I'd ever heard it before then. It hit pretty hard.
"I Grieve" - Peter Gabriel
I'd heard this next one before some years ago, it played just a few songs after the above and earned a spot on my recent playlist. The acoustic version is much better IMO than the studio release, and it is a powerful song, especially since my very existence appears to be to solve other people's problems while somehow trying to find time to solve my own.

It's catchy but bland. Pretty much a standard beat with a bit of electronica and vocals. It feels like it's building to something but never really goes anywhere. It's inoffensive and will be great for dancing in clubs but I couldn't see myself listening to it on a playlist.

Which means it should be a roaring success
America says "We love a chorus, but don't get complicated and bore us.
Though meaning might be missing, we need to know the lyrics after just one listen"
So repeat stuff

Congrats, you've discovered the secret to dance music
Though for real, it's part of why I like it. Sometimes I just want music to chill to.
I know I've mentioned Celldweller a couple of times before, and I don't really consider him a "Metal" artist. Albums like the Soundtrack For The Voices In My Head series sound more to me like hard rock-themed cinematic music than anything else, and tend to be mostly instrumental.
But holy shit, just listened to the most recent album, and it sounds very Industrial and he definitely has something he wants to say.
Some of these songs have apparently been out there for years, but I somehow missed them until I thought, "There's that album that just came out a few weeks ago, I wonder what's on it?" Well, what's on it seems to be 8 tracks of venom unsubtly directed towards some nebulous enemy that seems to enjoy deceiving others in order to increase its own power/influence I have no idea what that could be referring to.

"This Wandering Day" from The Rings of Power is a hauntingly beautiful song:
There are some good covers, as well:

Pretty much since the beginning (of their career, not THAT creation) I've been a huge Toad the Wet Sprocket fan. Our wedding song was a Toad song. Last year they put out a new album and I have no idea why I didn't give it a listen because a couple of the songs have affected me greatly.
The first one is about loss and how lonely growing old can be. It's got some heart-wrenching lyrics.
Another talks about hope & peace and getting along with one another. It's really great.
Finally, the titular song is also about hope and is a really optimistic song about just getting started, no matter what it is or how late you begin. Another wonderful song.

I forget this guy exists sometimes and then I run across his music again and am always rocking out
This thread is annoying for me. I'm at work currently and a lot of stuff is blocked or when clicking the video it just takes me to the main Youtube page.
Anyway, I wanted to talk about Caamp for a bit. They're in my signature right now and will likely stay there for a bit. I'd been really listening to a lot of Gregory Alan Isakov recently and Caamp kept coming up in feeds with him, so I gave them a shot.
At first I really only liked All the Debts I Owe, it is a quality, quality song.
I then heard some other songs of theirs while I just had stuff playing that I didn't realize was them at the time. I went back and discovered 26, Strawberries, So Long Honey, and others were all from the same group. If I had been paying attention, it would have been obvious, Taylor Meier's raspy voice is rather distinct.
The clincher was the song Fall, Fall, Fall. For me, it is simply transcendent. Its message is so plain and powerfully presented, it just made me sit up and really listen to them.
I want my kids to swim in the creek
Then I heard their album By and By. I've listened to it many times on youtube and love it every time. Went ahead and purchased it, too, because I do want to hear more from them.
I especially want to point out Peach Fuzz, though. It's so fun and feels like a departure from their normal sound, yet it works so well. They have also recently released a newer album, Lavendar Days, in 2022. I am really digging it too, but have not gotten it yet.
Caamp has quickly become my favorite "new" band, if that wasn't obvious already.

Oh shit, I missed this months ago. I haven't thought about Celldweller since that DDR keyboard game that was kinda big online like 15 years ago. Totally gonna rip into his work today.
