Ace Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Charles Bradley died over the weekend due to stomach cancer. While "The Screaming Eagle of Soul" was already an amazing talent in his own right, he had a habit of including interesting covers on his albums. Covering Nirvana: and covering Black Sabbath: It's gotta be a big hit for Daptone Records, losing Sharon Jones less than a year ago and losing Charles now. 1
Ace Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 And to add to the shit sandwich news in music the past 24 hours, Tom Petty is in critical condition in LA. He was found in full cardiac arrest and is on life support.
Zimbra Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Now reporting that he's been removed from life support. Fuck, man.
Death From Above Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I hope, somewhere out there in the great unknown, Tom Petty has a chance to say hi to Roy and George. 1
Casey Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 In more upbeat news, the War on Drugs' new album is amazing and everyone needs to listen to it. 1
sabremike Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Got my ticket for the first night (Dec 1st) of the MXPX 25th anniversary tour in NYC (Sadly the second night was already sold out). One of my all time favorite bands, I ain't got no place to go, so I decided to go to a PUNK ROX SHOW!!! Seriously, they (and The Toasters) were like my favorite band in high school and college. 1
Curt McGirt Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Bad Religion and NOFX are touring together later this year, so you might want to look into that. I'll probably get dragged into going and end up having a blast. 1
Brian Fowler Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I saw Bad Religion a few years ago, good show.
Ace Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 They're both playing a festival in Huntington Beach later this month. Sadly it's the one festival date they're doing WITHOUT Flogging Molly, and they announced and then unannounced Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. I'll get around to seeing Bad Religion at some point and then feel weird about the fact I'm a friend of one of the band members' daughter. In other news, Weird Al announced some details about his 2018 tour. No costumes, no props, no video screens. And he's going to play very few, if any, parodies. Oh... and Emo Phillips will open every show. 1
thejoy93 Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 This song is better than Despacito, I am just trying to say the truth but the music video though is similar to He Like That by Fifth Harmony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UONnRMuuDps
Curt McGirt Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 "Fan club" releases are your friends. This most almighty of hardcore albums is coming in the mail. GAUZE MOTHERFUCKING GAUZE EDIT: I just found this. In the middle, I think the crowd pushes the barrier to the front and the singer yanks probably a bouncer from the crowd and starts wailing on him. That is the proper reaction to this music.
FireThunder Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Having gotten the full Al experience on the last leg of his tour, I'm down for a show of nothing but original material. The closest show to me on that tour is in Des Moines but he's scheduled to play at the Surf Ballroom which would be a drive, but would probably be a hell of a show at a historic venue.
Curt McGirt Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Emo Philips being extremely awkward would also be a selling point. Neil Hamburger would be an even better (but less appropriate) opener
Brian Fowler Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I'm tempted by that Weird Al tour as well. Grand Rapids
Casey Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I've been listening to Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile and the War on Drugs on repeat for a few days now. I'm ashamed of myself for only just now discovering Courtney Barnett - holy fuck, she's incredible.
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I have Boris tickets. That is all.
Casey Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 2 hours ago, BL88 said: I have Boris tickets. That is all. Super jealous. The only chance I ever got to see Boris live was during the Lights in the Sky tour, opening for Nine Inch Nails in 2008. But they weren't on the Nashville date (it was HEALTH, which I was okay with). "Pink" is a fucking awesome album.

Their newest record, Dear, was started as an intended farewell record until they ended up recording several albums worth of material in that session. So it seems like there's a finish line in sight for Boris and we're coming up on it.
Roman Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 I just discovered Derroll Adams. He's fantastic.
Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Former Marilyn Manson guitarist and founding member Daisy Berkowitz, real name Scott Putesky, passed away at age 49 due to colon cancer. I really liked Manson's work until about 1998. I feel like the band lost a lot after Berkowitz left. Fuck cancer. https://www.spin.com/2017/10/daisy-berkowitz-marilyn-manson-dead-49/
J.T. Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 RIP to a pioneer of Rock & Roll. Goodbye and Godspeed, Fats.
Curt McGirt Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 George Young, producer and bass player for AC/DC (brother to Angus and Malcolm) and guitarist/songwriter for the Easybeats, has also passed away at 70. https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/10/r-i-p-george-young-acdc-producer-has-died-at-70/ If you don't know who he is from THAT, he also wrote "Love Is in the Air" of all things
