Wasn't thrilled with this one when it came out. And it's still disappointing. Something major is missing from their sound, as they've gone too clean and pretty much sound like a 70s tribute band on this one. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com

Recommended listening from Skinny. Quality alt hip hop. Kind of reminds me of Buck 65 and Astronautilus and to a lesser extent Why? _________________ http://jonnyleather.com

This was ranked high on RYM's 2014 chart, so why not give it a spin. So far, really mixed feelings. There's some quality compositional elements, but it's just so pristine and starts reminding me of Evanescence.
You're not alone is a pretty cool track.
Fan of pompous stadium anthem U2 and Muse might love this. I don't. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com

Since arriving at BEA, The Waterboys' This Is The Sea has risen to the highest tier of my favorites.
Yeah, I gave that a little extra attention in my history listening cause I saw it on your overall. It has a bit of a proggy sound, but I still really liked it. Mainly it just sounded like a talented dude having fun being a rock and roll star. Maybe I'll throw that on next...
Oh, and great ULL, of course. It's unique and makes the rest of us just a little more jealous of your life than we already are.

I only listened to their self-titled, and I loved it very much. Did they release other great albums or only weak ones like that you put here?
So, I kinda shut down for a few hours. Working from home will do that to you. Fridays no longer feel relieving, because they're just like every other day. Lady Lecca has to work tomorrow, so it's like any day of the work. But I'll go catch some friends play a daytime gig. I need to get out more, but the sun is bright and every time you leave your apartment in this city, you lose another 100 dollars to bar tabs, transportation, entertainment, etc. It's dangerous when you're trying to save.
Instead of listening to some of the new albums on my queue, I went and played russian roulette on Plug.dj. And by god, I definitely took some bullets to the brain.
It seems like every room is overrun with Brostep bangers. If it was real life and I were to enter a room like that, I'd check my drink for Rufies. I wonder if this virtual world is filled with virtual date rapists.
And when it's not brostep, it's just really really bad major label "indie" dance pop so soulless it's scary. It's like there's a template and the labels are just changing tones and releasing it as a new product with a different band name.
And then there's the perfectly decent songs destroyed by piss poor remixes
or worse, covers that miss the entire point of the song.
Plug.dj is quick to remind me that the music I like is really not as popular as it might seem on BEA.
I had to create a "And Then Things Get Weird" playlist. Anytime I just can't handle the previously played music, it's my go to. Nothing like The Residents, Fantomas and Natural Snow Buildings to really ruin their sterile environment.
In my frustration, I ended up discovering this incredible Remix of Bjork by Fantomas. This is the correct way how to do a remix. A remix should just be the chorus on repeat over a boring techno beat with the occasional bass drop.
Also, their side project, Pink Mountaintops have released 4 excellent records.
Ah I remember that cover! Maybe I've seen it in a record shop, very cool indeed. Thank you, I'll check it out, togeter with the Pink Mountaintops's albums!
