I make these 10 song playlists that I change every few weeks or so. Here is the list I am currently listening to and watching.

KISS "Detroit Rock City"
The Cars "Let's Go"
Iron Maiden "The Evil That Men Do"
Oasis "Cigarettes & Alcohol" (music video)
Def Leppard "Foolin'"
Neil Young "Heart Of Gold"
Styx "Come Sail Away"
Rush "Closer To The Heart"
Yes "South Side Of The Sky"
Paul McCartney "Maybe I'm Amazed"

That.s "Baby, I'm Amazed"
 
I like the beats and drums and all the other stuff but I just can't get into a band that doesn't have a singer for some reason. My sister and the cat seem to like it though

[::] has a rough sound I'm digging a lot Smoker. Reminds me of Metz, old Shellac and a lot of bigger Polish, Post Rock bands that rock half as hard as this. Digging the copper/sludge sound very much with this band, which peaks at about 20:00 mark.

Another Polish Gem is "Theme from Dimension Traveller" by Ampacity.

Never heard this kind of protest song:




How on earth did the bass player and maybe bass pedal maintain such an intense drive with all the other chaos around in this song?!?

Yeah. Been heavy into Polish instrumental stuff all year. It feels kinda sad, in that special Polish way. [::] type bands are popping up all over the place, and it is getting redundant. I use music for background noise and singing doesn't really matter, but if they sing, I want to know what they are saying. It was enlightening to finally look up MGLA lyrics. I wish they sang more clearly because their writing (though heavily stolen from depressing philosophers) is brilliant as hell.

This one is worth sharing. Can't make out the vocals but I'm sure they're saying something deep about satan. Epic is the only ord coming to mind when considering the whole EP. Hope to see better material from them soon
 
But seriously, Smoker, Weedeater is some real stuff. They played last weekend. Didn't go but I know some traumatized people who went.

I love the way the lyrics describe the experience.

"This magic day when super-science, mingles with the bright stuff of dreams."

This album cracks me up
 
Just saw these guys play. Pretty damned good harmonies. Nice guys as well.

What kind of scene would be at a show like that? Neat music, just wondering what a crowd would consist of. Probably a mix right

I'm assuming you're replying to my above post.

It wasn't really a "show" with a "scene." The video I linked wasn't the performance I saw, but gives you an idea of how they sound in person.

The group was on what is called a radio tour. In the country music industry, newly signed acts go out on a tour of radio stations, playing their songs for program directors, music directors, employees of country radio stations, and in some instances listeners who are lucky enough to attend the performance. Stations have been lately building out performance spaces for these mini-shows, but in the past they've been done in conference rooms, on-air studios, and production studios or even offices.

The artist/act comes in, plays a few songs for whatever audience is available, and hopes that they make a connection strong enough to get their debut single added to the rotation at the station. It is record promotion the old-fashioned way. Play your songs acoustically for the people who have the power to play your songs to a wider audience. It is a sort of trial by fire.

And if those people you play for are won over by your performance and put your song on the radio, it can still crash and burn. In fact it most often does. For every artist that comes through on these radio tours and goes onto success, there are many who never break through. Not for lack of talent, mind you. I see this stuff on a regular basis, which is why your conspiracy theories about the sinister power of record labels falls flat for me.
