sabremike Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Weezer were just amazing last night. Played all the stuff I really wanted to hear (ie: lots of stuff off the first 3 albums) including 4 songs off Pinkerton. And yes, they played "Africa". The Pixies were also incredible. It really struck me listening to them live that Nirvana was essentially the greatest Pixies tribute band ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Tyler, The Creator & A$AP Rocky's new single, Potato Salad, is probably my favorite thing in hip-hop right now. I can't wait for their collab album. Odd Future and Rocky's first mixtape sparked my renewed interest in rap back in 2010/2011, so this is just a perfect combination for me. I can't even describe how hyped I am for this. The video has some serious Otis by Watch the Throne vibes, too. I'm not a fan of his music, but Jaden Smith is an upgrade if he's supposed to be the Aziz to Tyler's Kanye and Rocky's Jay in that clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 At a Smashing Pumpkins show now. Metric is the opening act and they are one of the most boring acts I think I've ever seen. They sure as hell aren't Anti Flag (who I saw open last night for Rise Against and AFI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Courtney Love showed up as a special guest on the Smashing Pumpkins show and I know it will come as a total and complete surprise to all of you that she was pilled/drugged/drunk out of her mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The Internet slipped a new album past me. They're touring with the Gorillaz, but I think they've also got a show coming up at the National in the RVA. Tickets or death. The Internet's guitarist, Steve Lacy, also snuck an EP by me when I wasn't looking. He recorded the fucking thing on his iPhone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The revised unpopular opinion alert is that the show became too mainstream after Dr. Dre and Ed Lover became the regular hosts, but I blame the execs. They were the ones that were too scared to play By The Time I Get to Arizona and How I Could Just Kill A Man. If it weren't for Sheri Howell, Yo! would've been total shit after Fab 5 left.

I think early Yo! with Fab 5 Freddy took place where rap was just rap, and there wasn't much of a mainstream/underground separation. Once MC Hammer and the like took off and became mainstream, that is when MTV decided they were only going to cater to the rap that had a chance to be mainstream. Rap City was the place where you could go and see dudes rapping in front of their project in a video that was clearly not filmed by a professional. That is what I wanted from a show dedicated to rap music. I wanted to see the mainstream dudes, but I was always looking for the next dude who was going to pop. That was a huge part of rap fandom, and you weren't going to get that from Yo! MTV Raps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just found this while scrolling through 20 Buck Spin label's distro. First couple seconds in I was like "time to burn this right now" I guess I could have put it in the metal thread but this might get more ears on it. It definitely sounds like it looks.
