Yeah but how do I find interesting friends? I love talking but get bored easily about the topics they like although I don't show it.
I think books and records are a better way of expression. Still, talking is good and fun.

Not retro enough. They sound like a 70s band that had a time machine and had access to 80s and 90s doom/prog metal. Wobbler and Anglagard are more authentic 70s sounding

they were the hyped underground bands in the 80's in real time. it isn't just historical appraisal.

and you might disagree with that appraisal, but one band or actor or comedian being slightly better than the competition and as a result getting 90% of the attention is basically how culture works. or really any other field where a unique personal talent is the criteria. (i.e., one dude is only a slightly better baseball hitter than another. the slightly better dude makes 10 million a year playing in major league baseball while the other makes 20 thousand playing in the minors.)

>“I never respected Kurt Cobain enough to write something about him,” he says. “I was never a big Nirvana fan. To me, it had too much plod in it. It didn’t swing, and it had that allegiance to metal that I never cared for. It comes from the drumming, the whole stop-and-start thing and turn on the loud button for the chorus. God, wasn’t that tedious when every fucking band did that to death? We had too much humor to go out like that; he didn’t seem to have much humor.”

>>122931254
Yeah. Indie wasn't acclaimed as "the best thing ev0r!" generally, it was more like "signs of rock & roll life in dull times."

Here Comes a Regular is their only song I can relate to

>>122923949
For one thing, not being the very first or the most unique ever doesnt preclude artists from being innovative.
For another thing, they were way more consistent than most obscure bands. Yeah, there are some true hidden gem acts that made great stuff but never got noticed. But most of the time, obscure bands may have had a cool sound and one or two good tracks, and then a bunch of boring shit. Theres a reason they remained obscure.

not having a marketing team is probably one of the reason

Why did Kurt rip off this small band from LA?

They too ripped Boston or BOC's Godzilla, but it's interesting how they used it. It shows that this cliche was out there used by a couple of bands, Cobain picked it up and used it to envision a much better song. In the end, it's not that clika-claking scratchy riff that makes the song, it's the whole melody. And frankly Teen Spirit is better than BOC's Godzilla or Boston's syrupy song. Though Boston's song does have more soul because it's about simping for a hoe. Teen Spirit is very catchy and rocks but it does sound a bit like aliens are playing, metallic, cold, neutral, caustic and sarcastic. It's more like a very clever musical game

It's weird, some of the features completely outshine Charli and some features are just meh and downright cringy. The tommy cash feature grew on me too a bit, but it's still mostly cringy.

Music sucks now because no one wants to be an audience member. The middle aged women who listen to Taylor Swift are unironically doing more for music and its future’s than all you pseuds. Put down the guitar/daw/vintage synth you bought with pandemic money, work a regular job, and be a good fan. It’s the only way forward.

Really like the production on the album but the middle really kinda blends together, and YOTC is easily one of his worst songs yet, but I’m sure with the live show and time It’ll grow on me.

Pretty good start, underwhelming middle section, strong end, Cheerleader and Is There Any Happiness? are now top Porter songs, better than Worlds, not better than Nurture though
