At the moment I am listening to a lot of MOL.

 

I though it was quite interesting until the vocalist opened his mouth. Couldn't listen to much more after that - just not my cup of tea at all.

As soon as I clicked on this thread this song came up on my playlist

Class music there, @ak2m4
I was playing along to that on my geeeeetar (via ChordU.com) at lunchtime.

My playlist is a melange of prog rock... Porcupine Tree, Genesis, Rush, Marillion, and classic indie stuff from the 80s onwards.   
But dearest to my heart... Cardiacs.   Normal people hate 'em.

They played at Bloodstock this year too.

Two of my favourite bands, back to back, at my favourite festival.

It was a great day.

Cardiacs.   

 

 

 

That's some good taste right there.

[Skullchewer]

When AI makes music videos for classic songs. Worth a look.

Well....properly fallen down the old school death metal rabbit hole.

 

So come join me in bleeding ear joy!

 

 

 

 

 

yeah, I know it's a cover but it's still the best version for me!

Carcass and Death. Used to play covers of them in a previous life whilst touring in a Melodic Death Metal band. Crystal mountain was ace to play live!

If you were in a melodic death metal band mate, you weren’t in a death metal band!! Try eyesnomouth on Spotify. Mate of mine.

I used to do Pull the Plug back when I was doing the band thing!

I've been listening to some old NYHC lately.  

 

 

And also from the Earache studio...

Mr Chewer, I didn't get around to asking how you know of (the rather niche) Cardiacs?  Are you now, or have you ever been a 'pondie'?

Mr Chewer 🤣

The video for Is This The Life was on the chart show on channel 4 in the 80s, and I was hooked straight away.

Very sad about Tim.

No idea what a pondie is.

 

[Skullchewer]

Very into Tuvan throat singing moment. 

 

 

 

[RostokMcSpoons]

Ahah! The good ol' smash hit that was "Is This The Life", single of the week on BBC Radio 1

I shall enlighten you - Tim (Gawd bless 'im) referred to the mosh pit as the 'Pond' and we were all little fishes swimming in it.... so 'pondies'.   If you've been to any Cardiacs gigs and bounced around in the mosh pit, you'll perhaps have bounced off me at some point!

I was an active member on the Cardiacs chat list for most of its existence, and funnily enough the Tuvan throat singing was a very popular thing for a while.  It's pretty damned cool, though I never really got into it.. bits of it give me some Dead Can Dance vibes (I was well into them for a while)

Indeed, we may well have bounced off of one and other!

@JamesAirsofterAgent I'm going to see the Wolf tones live in November

 

Been listening to this recently - thought you'd like it!

 

 

If they didnt hate the English so much I'd love to see them live 🤣 Beautiful song

[Skullchewer]

Lamb of God's new album, Omens, is 🔥

 

 

[Wavey_Gravey]

Wardruna, all albums on repeat…it’s the only thing my 7 week old will settle too.

 

When I have 5 minuets to myself:

 

[Tactical Pith Helmet]

Spoiler

 

Listening to this atm.  The dog is starring at me and has actually raised her eyebrows.  

 

Great riff whatever anyone says.

[gavinkempsell]

Had to check my collection on discogs just to make sure I didn't have it.

[Skullchewer]

 

 

[faunskull]

 I listen to way too much to list but this has been a recurring listen for a long time 

[gavinkempsell]

One of my 'go to' albums.

[RostokMcSpoons]

Not really listening to music as such, but as I'm trying to learn how to play my guitars  (all 4 of 'em) I have a long list of Top Choons that I try to play along to.   Everything and anything, quite lidddderally from ABBA to ZZ Top as long as I can use Chordu to get the simple chords so I can try to wrangle some rhythm guitarishness out of 'em. 

God bless him and his Canadian cotton socks, but Mr Bryan Adams has written some hits aren't really 'my taste' but that are damned fun to play along to, and not too tricky.   Same for a bunch of other popsters.  I'll give anything a go.

Luckily though, I'm finally getting to the point where I can hit on the beloved Cardiacs, for some of the simpler (slower, less stoppy-starty) numbers... and this epic is the current fave for strumming along to

This is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me at the moment.

 

And it's AI generated - which makes it all the more 'wrong':

 

 

 

And there's this Tool cover which I actually prefer to the original:
