@Voltan Alright I'll have a listen and let you know. @nessisonett What have you been listening to lately? @Th3solution And you? Still on your classic rock journey/doo-wop hunt? Frank Zappa was a big fan of doo-wop and I believe his early albums feature it quite prominently, although I haven't listened to much of them myself - more of a 70s Zappa fan.

@ShaiHulud Did you listen to those Zappa albums that I and someone else on here recommended? What did you think of One Size Fits All?

@Voltan Not bad, I still don't like the name but very cool chilled out vibes.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Built To Spill’s Keep It Like A Secret has finally come onto Spotify so it’s been great listening to that. I saw them perform the album live for the 20th anniversary a couple of years back and they were amazing. I’ve also listened to Transatlantic by Death Cab For Cutie, which was way better than I really expected. Early 00s emo has a bad rep which it doesn’t really deserve. Actual emos don’t listen to emo music so it’s not even linked.
@nessisonett Funeral For A Friend type stuff? I love Juneau. What sort of music do actual emos listen to? Just out of interest.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Well ‘emos’ in my experience traditionally listen to either pop-punk like Fall Out Boy or they listen to fairly rubbish metal like Cannibal Corpse. There’s also the newer emos that listen to mumble rap like Lil Peep. All of that music is a far cry from Midwest Emo like American Football, Sunny Day Real Estate and Cap’n Jazz. I guess some post hardcore bands are pretty similar like At The Drive In too.
@nessisonett Yeah I can see that, I used to really enjoy listening to Sunny Day Real Estate back in the day. On an unrelated note, what do you make of the band Baroness? If you've heard them, if not you should listen to them, they remind me of the band Isis for some reason.

@Jimmer-jammer Have you heard Isis or Baroness? They're who I'm listening to right now.

@Jimmer-jammer Cool, I prefer Baroness' earlier material personally, i love the artwork on their albums though.

@Jimmer-jammer Yeah shame to hear about his accident right? What were your thoughts on that?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, I go back and forth on Isis but Panopticon is a great album. I haven’t listened to Baroness though, I should definitely check them out.
@Jimmer-jammer Yeah, I mean it isn't really the same thing but I've definitely experienced some troubles in my past, not ones that I would care to share on here unfortunately, but yeah, ultimately, these things do teach us, and it's about responding to them in a healthy, mature way to make us better people. I ordered Yellow and Green tonight.

@nessisonett Try the albums First and Second, The Red Album, The Blue Record and then if you want to see how they transitioned to a different style - Yellow and Green.

@Jimmer-jammer Yellow and Green, definitely, although Red is a close contender. You? How are you anyway and what music have you been listening to recently?

@nessisonett Did you listen to Baroness yet? Let me know what you think when you've listened.

@Jimmer-jammer I'll have to check that out, all I remember about The Used is that Kelly Osborne was dating the singer at one point, he screams majestically at the end of one of their songs, and, according to Jack Osborne, the singer's bandmates call him cauliflower d**k. 🤣

@Jimmer-jammer I checked out The Canyon by The Used, not really my preferred style, focusing more on jazz again now. Did you listen to The Night Monitor?

@Jimmer-jammer Panopticon is probably my favourite album by them. It's super hard to find for an affordable price on vinyl, though.

@Jimmer-jammer Let me know what you think if you do listen to The Night Monitor. @nessisonett Try Gwennifer Raymond for a more accessible version of what John Fahey used to do on the guitar.

Mogwai getting #1 in the album charts this week is pretty awesome. I’m liking the album and “Ceiling Granny” is easily my favourite track.
I also picked up the new Hold Steady album which is alright. Finally, I got the latest album by AK/DK who I hadn’t heard of before (they’ve got a few albums now) and I’m liking that to. Strong Holy ***** vibes.
