Musicological banter

It wasn’t just that…I went to college in early 90s and owning and playing the shit out of U2 and REM CDs was like a uniform at my university. You went to frat row and they blasted Superman and End of the world every damn time. It wears and burns you out.

Not saying they didn’t have great songs but no I was never a huge fan. I just never loved them…not even the IRS stuff. My roommate for three years played them all the time.

1st 5 albums flawless.  After that a steady spiral downward.

There’s definitely some amazing songs after the first five records but this is essentially how I think of REM.

Here is the Belle & Sebastian and Coldplay crossover event no one had on their cards

We were mastering our 4th lp, and being picky about it. Frank, the engineer apologised and said he needed 15 minutes at lunchtime to master someone else’s single. He put it on, and immediately the guy from our label said
‘What is this fucking cock?

I thought it was pretty good.
I don’t think anyone in the room would have picked it for a hit though. The people spoke, it was Yellow by Coldplay.

Whole bunch of AI tech bros are about to find out one doesn’t mess around with major label record company lawyers…


The majors have sued Suno and Udio for  infringement "on an almost unimaginable scale."

Be forewarned that this post includes examples of “stellar” AI created songs

Fairly certain even Green Day wouldn’t use “ The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.”  as the chorus of a song..

I feel like they could also be prosecuted for Hate Crimes and crimes against humanity

Correct – this is smarter than all of their lyrics from American Idiot onward.

We've seen him at Dark Star Orchestra shows at 9:30 in the past. That was before he went full-on nutjob though.

jerry died in 1995.  that pic looks like late-stage jerry, to let's assume it was taken '94-'95.

tuck-nuts was born in 1969, making him ~25 y.o. in that pic.  definitely pre-break with reality.

So I’m thinking about two late July shows

Green Day/pumpkins/rancid

Daryl hall & Elvis Costello

I just am struggling on pulling the trigger even though I will probably enjoy both

I would see either of those shows if I could get a $25 ticket. Except for SP during the Gish era, I've never seen any of those acts.

I saw Hall once…maybe now he does H&O songs…. Not much of a live performer. Elvis Costello has been having vocal issues….

The other show….i would rather be stuck on an island hiking with Space’s wife and daughter…

Thanks for the early morning chuckle.

I've been up since 5am, totally congested and with birds loudly chirping outside my window keeping me awake. Wish I was on an island hiking.

Hopefully you don't have the eurovid… it's a doozy.

Also, I feel like it would be worse if you were stuck on a hike vs. An island.
