Yeah, yeah, yeah. The facts support my position, unpopular as it may be. So, if I may borrow an apt phrase from your lovely wife: bite me! :)
OT: Favorite New Music in 2018/2019?
- Thread starter RU848789

I agree. Eventually I finally got to the point with several of my friends where I just told them that if I said "good" or "better" that meant that I liked it.
Why would someone make up such a quote? Any “fake news” quotes regarding or JL or GH being shitty guitarists or PM being a shitty vocalist/bassist? It’s fairly well known that RS was a mediocre drummer at best. But you’re wrong about pretty much everything so why would this subject be any different
Now you're just being a tool. I don't really give a shit if you believe me, but do you also think the case made by the expert in the video is not true? And clearly the video which you drew the still from which you posted, which implies that's when JL said this, didn't have any such quote. Find me one scintilla of evidence that JL actually said this and then we'll talk. Until then, you're simply wrong and perpetuating a hoax.
Leave my boy, @RUaMoose alone. Solidarity, Moose! Logic and facts are on our side. We have #s resorting to personal insults now. :D
Specials are one of my favorites too. I worked for a large company and my superior was a South African. I remember driving him over to pick up his car from the dealership at lunch.. he had it tuned up during work. I had a Specials tape in my state of the art cassette.. sure enough, Free Nelson Mandella came on.. I was like Ralph Kramden.. "huminahuminahumina". Luckily, he supported ending apartheid... or so he said.. but I always wondered.. did he think I set that up?
it was just an in jest off hand remark.
the band was obviously the polar opposite of Blunt.
putting bwg or emojis ruins the straight delivery.
never thought anyone would see it other than what it was.
when a 4 piece band sounds great, sure sign everyone's doing something right.
they were a local sensation live in small clubs before ever recording, and you can't pull that off with a bad drummer.
on a side note, i've personally met Pete Best.
maybe 7-10 yrs ago he and his band played a gig at a local club/bar not that far from where i lived at the time, and had a meet and greet after the show and signed stuff. (i even shook the dude's hand, and chatted for a few moments).
most everything was up tempo early 60s Brit Pop sounding stuff, (no half timing the hi hat), and he had no problem keeping up on stuff a lot a kids would struggle to keep up on after a few songs, and sounded very good.
very friendly and seemed quite happy.
Hayden James' new album is incredible. It drops on the 14th of June. Can't wait for that party!
Bob Moses is really good. Check their stuff if you don't know them.

In all honesty, while I really like the Beatles music a lot, I've heard close covers by some extremely talented musicians and often liked the covers better, usually because of the drumming.
I'm not entirely sure I can agree that a four person band cannot have one weak member, three really strong members, and brilliant song-writing, and still be really great. If for no other reason that, in my opinion, that accurately describes the Beatles.
Anyway, we're not going to sway each other's opinions on this issue. Which is fine. That's the cool thing about art and music; it's very personal and terms like "good" and "great" are subjective and non-deterministic.
Haven't had a favorite #,since the BGEES did Saturday Night Fever.I am basically a Big Band and Jazz Fan.Great musicians. Did like a lot of the disco stuff though.It's really not me,it's the so called music. My tastes are eclectic. I like some classical music just to prove a point.Gospel too.Some country /Western .Good is good. I.E.: Sarah Vaughn,Ella,Dionne Warwick,Duke Ellington ,Johnny Hodges,Rita Coolidge,Donna Summers ,Aretha etc.(BUT to each his own)
not sure if mentioned, Nathanial Rateliff is really good. not exactly new, but he's gotten more recognition the last year or so.
Just heard this for the first time on SiriusXMU last night and it blew me away, although I'm a sucker for chill wave type songs with catchy beats. The band is Easy Life and they're from Leicester City in the UK and this is their 2nd EP (they formed in late 2017). Lots of buzz. It'll be on the playlist for our upcoming "5 Songs" party and for the two fairly big gigs I'll be doing at work in June (dept. party at Rahway Park and site BBQ for our RY site).
Yeah, figured that one was right up your alley. Posted it to FB earlier and got a ton of likes and some comments on it. Even Matt Pinfield likes it, lol.
Country and southern rock fans can get into this song by Brent Cobb.
Red-dirt and outlaw fans are about the only ones who can handle Colter Wall, who's one of the up-and-comers in non-Nashville country.
Waylon Jennings -- "I've Always Been Crazy (but it's kept me from going insane)":
David Frizzell -- "I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home"

If you like country,but get tired of the same 20 songs over and over on mainstream radio stations,try www.ircountry.com. I have lots of favs including Holly Tucker, Kevin Fowler, and the Josh Abbott Band.
yeah.. why is it that country stations play the same stuff over and over and over...?
Because girls are always leaving their guys, pickup trucks break down and their horses run away on a daily basis.
Like the Mannequin Pussy song - that guitar solo really sounds like J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. (best indie/alt guitarist ever, maybe), but couldn't find any evidence it's him.
I played Seventeen at a gig a few months ago, right as it was really breaking big and it went over very well. Great song. Didn't realize she was a Jersey Girl. The Charly Bliss song didn't do much for me, but 2 for 3 is pretty good, lol.
Really liking this new song by YK Osiris, including the beats and the pretty cool guitar solo, which is a nice touch for a hip-hop song - kid just turned 20 and is out of Jacksonville and many think he could be the next big thing in hip-hop/R&B - love that he doesn't limit himself to one genre of music, too.
He really is such an awesome guitarist and not too bad as a songwriter/performer too. Great live shows, too. Since this is an RU football board, I'll post their 1993 minor hit, "Start Choppin'."
Knightshift, Red Dirt country music is mostly bands from Texas and Oklahoma. It is completely different than the usual country music. The girls that leave are hotter, the pickup trucks are bigger, and the horses are faster. It is like night and day!!!
And some here need to stick with Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra, but what about the Atlantic City Expressway? That's your sweet spot!
I always thought Sayreville '78 - '80 needed a documentary. Anybody know an HBO producer willing to take a pitch?
Better than sitting on your porch in a Depends, eating prunes and screaming get of my lawn.
Music feeds and soothes the soul. But you have to have one first.
So this excludes RU/Mets fans, their souls were sucked away a long, long time ago. :)
