The ramones songs 1978
Tumblr media
By the time the album was released in late 1978, the Sex Pistols’ singer had already established his reputation as one of rock’s most snarling frontmen. John Lydon’s scream is different on Public Image Ltd’s First Issue. Smith paying respects to a band of his own generation) is powerful, but Eternally Yours reveals a band audibly challenging itself, and in turn challenging its colleagues and listeners to keep up. It certainly has songs built around both, and singer Chris Bailey’s condescension on the insistently tense minor masterpiece “This Perfect Day” (later covered by The Fall in the late ’90s, in a rare case of Mark E. Eternally Yours was one of the first major statements that “punk,” whatever that meant, could be much more than two or three chords and a sneer. The brass is a crucial addition to “Know Your Product” and “Orstralia,” two of the album’s best songs, and proof that bands should have been more ready to break through the already-congealed punk orthodoxy of the day. Josh JacksonĪustralia’s best punk band added a horn section for a few songs on their second album, bringing some R&B power to Ed Kuepper’s roaring guitar cyclones. and an album made for lazy days somewhere the sun is shining. The result was his highest-charting album in the U.K. But a more contented Marley could still churn out classics like “Is This Love” and “Satisfy My Soul.” Recorded in London just before he returned to Jamaica after an exile in the wake of an attempted assassination, the reggae legend may have been a little burned out on politics as two competing factions back home threatened to throw his island nation in chaos. These 10 tracks are mellow odes to love and pot, a smoked-out chill session after the revolution has wound down. Album opener “Easy Skanking” is, well, easy. The Bob Marley on Kaya is not the holy justice warrior of the early 1970s. We have exclusive live footage of several of these acts performing around 1978, including the Talking Heads, Bruce Springsteen and Parliament-Funkadelic. We’ve been taking a look back at music history in decade increments, beginning with the Best Albums of 1968 and continuing with each decade (19 are coming soon). And a handful of punk stalwarts would look to the looming ‘80s with a sense of pop adventure that came to define the radio hits of the next 10 years. Kraftwerk would quietly continue laying the ground work for an electronic revolution. Eddie Van Halen would inspire a generation of would-be guitar gods. Funk fans got their first annual festival in Chicago, “One Nation Under a Groove,” just a month after the death of Parliament-Funkadelic singer Glenn Goins at the age of 24. Blue-collar roots rock sold millions of records thanks to Bob Seger and Bruce Springsteen. In 1978, Keith Moon played his last show with The Who, while The Rolling Stones returned to form with Some Girls. Several of our favorite albums from 1978 appeared on our lists of the Best Post-Punk and Best Best New Wave albums. The rest of the Billboard chart was filled with lite-pop ballads like Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life” and Exile’s “Kiss You All Over.” But music was also in the midst of a post-punk revolution. Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees had five of the eight biggest singles of the year. Forty years ago, popular music was dominated by disco.

“You've probably already been asked this a billion times this week, but which is closer to the true you: Soul Punk or Fall Out Boy?”
“Soul Punk. To be honest, I haven't been asked that. I feel like no one ever reads between those lines or thinks to ask those questions. I feel I'm asked a lot of the mechanical questions like "So what's up with Fall Out Boy?" "When are you guys getting back together?" "Have you talked to those guys lately?" "How are they doing?"
Totally Soul Punk because anytime you're in a band, it's a compromise. Not in a negative way, that's the nature of it. How many more records have the Rolling Stones sold than Mick Jagger solo? But there's probably a lot more of the actual Mick Jagger on a solo record than there is on a band record because his individuality is at the mercy of the band.”
from ‘Shattering The Caricature: Our Interview With Patrick Stump’ by Culture Brats
found this sweet article from 20th October 2011, right after Soul Punk’s release. thought you guys might want to read it bc we’re getting close to Soul Punk’s 10th

Nash’s 200th Follower Celebration Challenge!
Get your spy gear ready. 
We’re gonna take inspiration from Archer, y’all. 
Tumblr media
I haven’t personally seen this used in a challenge [at least in my circle]. It is so full of potential, from snark to sexy times to knock-your-socks-off shock. Even if you aren’t familiar with the source, the prompts are so very tasty, I can’t imagine each & every writer won’t find at least ONE to gobble up.
*** 120 Prompts!  So just one writer apiece ***     ---> YOU KNOW WHAT?? SCREW IT!  Send me THREE!!!!
But! There’s a challenging bonus at the bottom [#121] with NO LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRY IT! 
I’d recommend just a “scene” versus an entire fic, or tack it on to your actual entry in a weird prologue or epilogue, something of that ilk. It’s nuts. I’m not overselling the nuttiness, here. Weave some magic. EXAMPLE
Full guidelines at the bottom.
THE ONES THAT TOTALLY COULDA BEEN IN AN SPN EPISODE:
1. "Team Live Badass"? That's the best you could come up with?
2. Oh, I thought we were laughing at the dead people we set on fire. @wrenwritesometimes
3. AHHHH! The dust! It's like being shot in the eyes by a glitter gun!
4. Oh, you don't look like a whore... an idiot, maybe? Or both! Yes!      A whore-diot!  @jalove-wecallhimdean
5. --- What is this herpes business?     --- Bad joke... and a false alarm. @itswitchcraft-not-googlemaps
6. Wanna try yanking on the pipe?
7. You ass, for the love of all that's green, take me and the rabbit to the lettuce store!   @wrenwritesometimes
8. Eat a buffet of dicks.  @hannahindie 
9. --- And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go kill some evil clowns.     --- [long awkward pause]      --- Do you have an erection?
Tumblr media
10. You're just gonna leave him with a grenade stuck up his ass? 
11. It would be rude not to eat her pie, which I assume is not only hot, but also moist... although hopefully not flaky. 
12. Nothing can make up for almost killing me over a briefcase of what I can only assume is either plutonium or a human soul.
13. Oh don't worry. He may be a vain, selfish, lying, and quite possibly alcoholic man-whore, but gambling is one vice he doesn't have.  @fanforfanatic
14. I want it on record that I think this is a terrible plan.  
15. They say the devil's in the details... and silk pajamas.
SNARK-A-PALOOZA:
16. All I've had today is, like, six gummy bears and some scotch.  @wrenwritesometimes
17. For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary, full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen. @butiaintgonnaloveem
Tumblr media
18. --- Every single time we come here, we have to help you get rid of a dead body.       --- Well, you've only been here twice.  @senselesssamii 
19. Swear to god, you people make me want to pump nerve gas through the vents.  @impalaimagining
20. Why is your instinctive response to run toward explosions?  @impandagrl
21. On second thought, I very much prefer to be taken alive. Just let me clear the ol' browser history aaaand...
22. Is it murder if they were my own clones? I'm seriously asking.  @littlegreenplasticsoldier
23. I've always wanted to fight on top of a moving train. @amanda-teaches
24. I've never seen an ocelot! You guys, look at its little spots! Look at its tufted ears!
25. If this doesn't work, we just paid a hundred bucks for liquid fart.
26. Oh my god - I'm gonna die in a toilet stall, just like the gypsy woman said!
27. I swear, if you throw that computer on the floor one more time, you’ll wake up in a mental ward with total amnesia under someone else’s name!  @idreamofhazel
28. You just killed, like, ten pirates.
29. -- Grilled cheese.       -- What?       -- Grill me a cheese.       -- I'm not grilling you a cheese.   ME!
Tumblr media
30. The Russians turned me into the unholy abomination of metal fused with flesh that now stands before you.
31. --- I swear, if anyone saw me in this awful van...       --- How could they, with this illegal-ass window tint? Dude, this van is like, rolling probable cause.
32. Not really the explosive climax I thought it was gonna be.
33. There's a zoo here?

38. You do realize there's a finite supply of Vaseline in the universe.
39. --- So then it's settled. We're a-go on Operation... what should we call it?       --- Dick Sledge.
40.  I saved her life! Go ask that dick I set on fire!
41. You want me to take a baby to a murder?  @impalaimagining
42. You do realize you're in huge trouble - and now I have to spend my first Friday off in forever devising some bizarre punishment for you?  ---> AVAILABLE AGAIN!
43. Have you no sense of decency? That bathroom’s like a… a war crime.
44. Hey, you awake? ‘Cause this is about to get weird. @klaineaholic
45. That's disgusting - if I wanted to look at your bare feet, I'd sneak in and do it while you were asleep.
46. Better pill up - you're assisting with the surgery.
47. --- Frickin' head's poundin', I'm sweatin' booze and my mouth's killin' me!       --- You're the one who stuffed four pool balls in it. 
48. Holy shit, you geeks are badass.   @uselessace
49. You're ruining your life, you idiot! And making it hard to drop a deuce.
50. Right, because you walked into Strippers’ Discount Warehouse and said, “Help me showcase my intellect".   @butiaintgonnaloveem
51. I've had good results with Ether.
52. Hey, will you choke me a little bit?  @littlegreenplasticsoldier
Tumblr media
53. That stolen lemur bit one of your prostitutes right in the face and she says she can't go to the hospital because she's, quote, "tripping balls”.
54. --- Jeez, you're still taping bum fights?!       --- No, now I'm into something... darker.
55. That is my foot in your face - smell the embarrassment.
56. Oh! And, uh, by the way, try not to be unconscious for too long - it's super bad for you.  @withstarryeyes
57. Both of you imagine shutting up!   @uselessace
58. Idiots doing idiot things, because they’re idiots.
59.  --- Please tell me that's a smoke grenade.        --- Okay... it's not, though.  ----> AVAILABLE AGAIN!!!!!  :)
60. Sorry - I was picturing Whore Island.  @kayteonline
61. Somebody smells like they ate the ass-end out of a northbound cow.
62. I don't know... sometimes I think I'd like to adopt a little baby... so I could abandon it at a mall.
63. Well, he died doing what he loved - getting shot. @withstarryeyes 
64. Baby, I was emotionally shattered - which turns out to be kind of a panty-dropper.  @hannahindie
65. Now what am I going to spread on my toast? Your tears?
66. Sorry, that’s just a, uh, sympathy boner. @pinknerdpanda
67. Holy shit! Yogurt is amazing! Why have I never tried yogurt?!   @littlegreenplasticsoldier
68. Seriously, call Kenny Loggins - 'cause you're in the DANGER ZONE.  @kayteonline

70. I'm sorry, are you addressing me? Because your authority is not recognized in Fort Kickass.  @kittenofdoomage
Tumblr media
71. Does internet porn know you're cheating on it?  @klaineaholic
72. No, it's too dirty - it's full of whatever alligators shit out, which I can only assume is people.
73. Oh my god! What shade is that? Crack whore red?!
74. Man, if I don't get some spaghetti and meatballs, I may literally die.
75. You used-panty vending sons of bitches!
76. Thank you both for all that you did do which, again, was nothing. @pinknerdpanda
77.  Damn, dog! That’s inappropes! 
78. If a single one of these has left the building, I will personally sew you into a canvas bag full of rats and throw that bag into the river.  @littlegreenplasticsoldier
79. Who do I have to murder around here to get this damn thing to make some ice?  ----> AVAILABLE AGAIN!!!!  :)
80. I'm sorry, what's that? I can't hear you over the sound of my deafening awesomeness.  @amanda-teaches
81. Don’t try to body-shame me, dog tits.
82. Is it just me, or does it smell like finger?
83. Ahahaha, man, you never rent a mule - ya lease that surly bastard.
84. When we first started going out, I may have... injected a tracking device into your body.  @fanforfanatic
85. And I don't want another one of your sullen whores using my medicine cabinet like a Pez dispenser.
86. Because I've been lying in scorpion piss for two hours in the sun-blasted shit-hole which is Texas, waiting for a stupid truck.
87. If I cared about what you do on the weekend, I'd stick a shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger with my toes.  ME!
Tumblr media
88. Punk-ass bitches!  ----> AVAILABLE AGAIN!!!! :)
89. And instead of doing my job, I was here - half-drunk and having amazing sex.

91. Right? And I know it sounds crazy, but I like them as much as cocaine!
92. Next time, remind me to get shot in the head.  ME!
93. You were the one yapping your head off about my damn teacup pig!
94. Who wants their ass beat first? And before you decide, keep in mind that I'm gradually going to get more tired, but also gradually more Berserker.
95. So you're not planning to blindfold me and hide me in a bomb shelter with limited oxygen and send my family cryptic notes about how to find me in a race against time for my life?
DEFINITELY CLASSY:
96. Who are you supposed to be, Topper Bottoms? Stern yet sensual skipper of the U.S.S. Rough Service?
Tumblr media
97. You better pray to god it wasn't you who hit me. Because whoever it was hits like a little bitch of a girl, who was born with some kind of bitch of a birth defect, so that instead of a fist, she just has this tiny bitch of a nubbin.
98. I don't care! Having said that, would you please come into this dirty toilet stall and have sex with me?
99. Because you - prolapsed rectum that you are - are infatuated with her, whose cobwebby old snooch, by the way, I can smell from here!   @butiaintgonnaloveem
100. --- The thought of me dying gives you an erection?         --- Just half of one - the other half would have missed you. @kayteonline
101. I swear to god, you could drown a toddler in my panties right now. ME!
102. Stop - my penis can only get so erect. ME!
Tumblr media
103. Can you not rub your dick in my mother's pantyhose, please?
104. --- Oh my god! You killed a hooker!          --- Call girl! She was a----          --- No, when they're dead, they're just hookers!
105. Vincent Van Go-fuck-yourself. 
106. Okay, we're off to get our scrotums waxed!  
107. --- Well, maybe you're lame!         --- Maybe you should shut your dick holster.
108. You’re a large-diameter dickhole.
109. First, see if he wants a beej...
110.  Water? Oh, never touched the stuff. Fish fuck in it. @kayteonline
111. --- Oh god, it tastes worse than it smells!         --- Man, if I had a nickel for every time I heard a guy say that. 
112. Who, me?! No! No, I've been up here the whole time, having some phone sex! Just jackin' it, on the telephone.  @fandommaniacx
113. I am literally wet with jealousy. @klaineaholic
Tumblr media
114. Why does this chair have no seat... and WHAT IS IN HIS ASS?!  And unless it was the creepy-old-people-bondage-sex police, why would anyone break in here and shoot him?!
115. Because I have sex with actual women! My girlfriend's not equal parts the internet, a tube of Kentucky jelly, self-loathing, and a sock.  @hannahindie
116. And what part of your job, exactly, is groping my ass?  @wideawakeandwriting
117. --- Maybe you should've thought about that before you blew it!         --- I blew jack shit!         --- Name-dropper.
118. After this, I am going to go home, watch NCIS, and masturbate until my fingers bleed.   @itswitchcraft-not-googlemaps
119. --- Was that before or after you got caught fondling a teenager?        --- Well, obviously before - after, it was all French Armed Forces and dick stitches.
120. You can't put a price on good pussy.   @wideawakeandwriting
AND IF YOU ARE UP TO THE CHALLENGE:
121.   No no no no - Like, a big, sweaty fireman carries you out of a burning building, lays you on the sidewalk and you think – Yeah, okay, he's gonna give me mouth-to-mouth – but instead he just starts choking the shit out of you, and the last sensation that you feel before you die is he’s squeezing your throat so hard that a big wet blob of drool drips off his teeth, and just –  flurp – falls right onto your popped-out eyeball.
Bravery incarnate(s):  @kittenofdoomage  @fanforfanatic   @uselessace   @butiaintgonnaloveem
1. Supernatural only, please-and-thank-you [adjacent is fine, too - such as having O.C.s carry the bulk of the dialogue weight because we’re seeing the story through their eyes while, say, being hunters working with S & D or Jody & Donna or whatever your heart desires]
2. Pick your faves & any back-ups [and if you’re gonna take a run at #121] ---> shoot ‘em to me at DEAR NASH & I’ll hit you back with a confirmation 
3. Write & post your thing ---> don’t forget to tag me somewhere & use this in your first handful of tags: #Nash200
4. Have it in between June 11th - June 17th [about 6 weeks from original posting]  ---> TAKE TIL JULY!  SOUND GOOD????  ;)
5. Definitely Do: the “theme” you are most comfortable with / feel you write the best / have the most fun on - these prompts lend themselves to snark and/or sexy times, but lord knows y’all angst-devotees will find a way [that’s fine, too!]
6. Hard Pass: dom/sub; “kinks”; alpha/beta/omega; Wincest/any incest; real person fic [no Jensen/Jared/Misha/etc.]
7. Length can be anywhere from haiku to vignette to... well, keep it around the max length that you’d want to read if it were your challenge, ‘k? And don’t you dare spend more than a weekend on it - if it becomes laborious for you, holler at me, we’ll find you another prompt or you can drop out, no worries.
PS:  If you wanna stick Archer characters into the mix? Bring. It. On.
PPS: Walls of text & bulk of text not behind “read more” = An Unhappy Nash + An Unhappy Dash
P3S: And because it’s my party, if Dean is in your story and he calls someone “Sweetheart” ? If it isn’t in a jerk-face, patronizing manner, I’m gonna foam at the mouth
THANK YOU for coming along with me on this ever-evolving funtastic SPN fandom ride! -Nash.

No 63. Has someone ever spread a nasty rumor about you? 
So one of the definitions for my name in urban dictionary is "Torin: likes to masturbate with the slimy sea creatures of the sea to get that real pussy feel. Synonymous with 'squids'."... apparently that escalated from fiction to fact very quickly. 64. Would you go against your moral code for money? 
It depends. Ends justify the means. For example: I would stomp several puppies to death in an absolutely brutal fashion in order to save the lives of millions of children starving to death in Africa. 65. What are three things most people don’t know about you? 
I've struggled with depression since 8th grade. I'm fairly certain their are missing pieces of my personality, which would explain why there's a different version of me for every person and why I forget who I am after just like 2 days of being alone. I don't cry a lot but it's not for healthy reasons. 66. Who are you jealous of?
Basically everyone 67. Do you sleep with a stuffed toy? 
NO BUT NOW I WANT TO I JUST GOT ALL WARM AND FUZZY FEELING 68. How long was your longest relationship?

😳 I'll wait to tell you until the third date😉 71. Who are your closest friends?
Currently a college friend who's out of state. I tend not to stay particularly close to people for too long tho... ok well shit now I'm sad 72. Are you in a relationship?

Now we have a switching one party system every year.) 91. Is the male or female body closest to perfection?

2017
Hello,
It has been a whole year without a monthly mailer, hence this now being a yearly mailer.
I hope you’ve all had a great year (and that said monthly mailer hasn’t been missed too much… or has it?).
Anyway, below are my top ten picks of the year, plus my five track picks per month for the whole year (which I have sequenced and arranged roughly chronologically, for your listening pleasure, and because I like lists).
Normal monthly service will hopefully be resumed next year.

NEW MUSIC 2017
The Orange Drop – The Curse of Kukaka Strictly speaking this was released late last year; an exemplary psych wig-out.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Nuclear Fusion Ever wondered what people mean by playing behind the beat? Well you can hear the two drummers play both behind and in front of the beat… in the same song! Mentally groovy!
Dead Horse One – Insight Again, released at the end of last year; a wonderful droning compressed psych embrace.
Miles Mosley – Abraham Man alive this band have chops, a fantastic piano-led soul/funk work-out.
Small Feet – A Winter Coat On Bare Bones I think Stockholm band-leader Simon is special singer/song-writer somewhat reminiscent of Neil Young; a song for lonely winter walks.
Loyle Carner – The Isle Of Arran Great rapper, inspiring lyrics, awesome performer, and one of the best samples all year; nuff said.
Sinkane – Telephone Subtle this is not; big dance grooves.
Ron Gallo – Young Lady, You’re Scaring Me Part White Stripes, part Two Gallants, part Rival Sons,; all rock n roll!
Tinariwen – Sastanaqqam The elder masters of ‘desert’ blues always hit the spot.
Strand of Oaks – Everything Punchy boisterous rock, with a few Elvis/Josh Homme ‘Huhs!’ thrown in for good measure.
All Them Witches – 3-5-7 Love this band; rolling heavy stoner rock grooves.
Chicos de Nazca – Never Ends Even woozier than the above, sun washed tequila haze guitars abound.
Great Ytene – Locus Post punk but also four to the floor rock, interspersed with, and descending into, gnawing nervous, and bordering on atonal, washes.
Cameron Avery – C’est Toi Crooning ‘standards’ love song authentically made modern; big baritonevoice, strings and cinematic appeal aplenty.
W.H. Lung – Inspiration! This is a stellar find, coming across as a mix up of Neu!, Talking Heads and Hookworms, exceptional!
Spoon – WhisperI’lllistentohearit Really good album but it is the propulsive drumming which is absolutely stand-out brilliant on this track.
Tamikrest – Wainan Adobat New masters of ‘desert’ blues in my opinion, this is a great up-tempo number.
Mount Eerie – Ravens One of the most difficult and most emotionally affecting songs I’ve ever listened to. Painfully sad and personal, as real as a portrayal of grief as I can imagine.
British Sea Power – Praise For Whatever A tale of two songs in one, with the first half given to atypical British Sea Power songwriting, before mid-way through out stomps an enormous bass lead groove wig out.
The Black Angels – Half Believing Modern psych kings back on form with this menacing yet mournful track.
Betrayers – Belong Here Raga No idea how I found this, but it’s a chugging bluesy number, although not sure it qualifies as a raga.
Matthew Logan Vasquez – Same Stomping, grooving funk soul rock.
Jane Weaver – Did You See Butterflies? Jane laying down those now trademark motorik bass and beats and ethereal vocals, this time concerned with butterflies.
Thurston Moore – Exalted A slowly unfurling melodic opening gives way to some molten guitar workout, before some almighty build and release crashes, and then comes the vocals; immense.
Ho99o9 – United States Of Horror Speaking of immense, these guys are fucking awesome; turn it up to 11, atop spitfire politically charged lyrics, but unlike anything else out there.
Endless Boogie – Back in ‘74 Boogie-tastic with perhaps my favourite lyrics of the year about a kite flying contest at a Kiss concert in 1974.
Pumarosa – Red Beautiful vocals float above a glorious melody and some seriously tight grooves.
Aldous Harding – Blend Sparse, confessional sounding, but altogether quite beautiful.
Minotaurs – Hipswinger Now I know I go on about grooves, but seriously, this is just groove-tastic, when it drops around 0:55, I mean, hell yeah I’m gonna swing my hips; with added brass.
Richard Dawson – Weaver This is a very unique album; it is a concept album, I’ll say no more; this was the track I returned to most often.
Hey Colossus – In A Collision Chugging rock which also manages to sound ominous and delicate at the same time.
Floating Points – Kelso Dunes Ambient instrumental post rock that really taps into a driving motoric groove, that borders on space rock!
B Boys – B Boys Anthem Arty, brash, tight rock song barely over a minute
Michael Nau – Good Thing The sound of this album is a joy, with warm tones and an obvious hiss akin to old records; this track is the most lovely of the lot.
Peter Perret – Living In My Head This is real climbing up the walls, in your head, blues-esque stuff; how Peter Perret has come back from the brink to deliver this kind of great music is anyone’s guess.
Broken Social Scene – Vanity Pail Kids Industrial pounding opening and a soaring indie chorus.
Holy Fuck – Chains Oh Holy Fuck; this is scary techno, which piles on the layers of noise and pounding beats until your ears bleed; it has it’s time and place, but I love it.
Public Service Broadcasting – The Pit Top band, with another great idea for an album; battle like drums and swelling guitar swirls and strings.
Dan Croll – Tokyo Classy pop song-writing with an absolute earworm of a motif.
Jesus on Heroine – Neu!comers A glorious bed of guitars and gentle swells.
Kacy & Clayton – The Light of Day Some 70s folk sounds, bordering on country vocals, warm yet clear.
Chris Forsyth – Have We Mistaken the Bottle for the Whiskey Inside There is that groove; reminds me a bit of a favourite from last year, The Wave Pictures, in the instrumentation, except this has more drawl.
LCD Soundsystem – how do you sleep? So fucking good; the definitive 101 on how to create a build in a song; ominous percussion, unnerving strings, savagely brilliant lyrics (perhaps a touch Bono-esque), which has drop after drop as each instrument is introduced, building to the brilliant titular pay-off; my only gripe is that James didn’t fucking play it live!!!
The Horrors – Something To Remember Me By Great band, great album, and an absolute banger.
The War On Drugs – Pain Guitar solos; hummable, glorious, soaring guitar solos.
The Killers – The Man This is the best song of the year (except LCD obviously); a groovalicious squelchy lyrical monster; it’s USDA certified lean!
Thee Oh Sees – Animated Violence The heaviest Thee Oh Sees (or whatever they’re calling themselves these days) have ever been; a giant slab of heavy sludge interspersed with bizarre guitar arpeggios.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Anthem for No State, Pt.III I consider myself lucky to be here at a time I can see Godspeed play live; they are truly peerless. This best track from their latest album comes across like an apocalyptic mariachi song, with strings, guitars, drums, building to a trademark cacophony before the subtle transition at 6:20 which carries you away; beautiful, mournful noise.
Neil Young – Captain Kennedy Not strictly new music, but from the unreleased ‘Hitchhiker’ album released earlier this year, this is Neil at his folky acoustic best.
Juju – And Play A Game A bizarre but wonderful song built upon one repetitive bass line, which literally has about a dozen genres stuffed in it; stick with it though, and from roughly 2 minutes in it is motorik gold.
Marilyn Manson – SAY10 Manson doing what Manson does best; that chorus is one of the hookiest things I’ve heard all year, and the guitars sound absolutely on point, just the right about of crunch.
St. Vincent – Smoking Section I think of this as Annie’s broadway showtune of sorts, like ‘A Man Needs A Maid’, but it’s more than that, it’s personal, mournful, and yes theatrical, but also has a wonderful send off.
Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile – Fear Is Like a Forest Much as I struggle with Courtney’s vocal delivery, she does sound great here, and with Kurt layering on the Crazy Horse guitars, it’s just a great track.
Curtis Harding – Ghost Of You Smoky soul and grooves.
New Candys – Tempera Reverb?! Can we get anymore reverb?! Solid psych under 3 minutes!
Baxter Dury – Miami Perhaps the best bassline of the year, slinky and disgusting at the same time, with the lyrics to match depicting a grotesque character amped up to 11, but absolutely delicious.
Baltic Fleet – A la Mortal I have a penchant for crescendo focused instrumental ambient rock, which is exactly what this is.
Pete International Airport – Flowers Of Evil Languid grooves buried beneath ambient textures and Robert Levon Been’s (of BRMC fame) trademark sing/sneer, but transitions into a gentle and quite beautiful outro.
Pretty Lightning – The Rhythm Of Ooze With a distinct whiff of Archie Bronson Outfit, this takes a blues riff and pushes it to the max.
Boubacar Traore – Dis lui que je l’aime comme mon pays Absolutely fantastic acoustic blues from the legendary Malian bluesman; it’s the same progressions and structures but with a vital energy and magnificent instrumental interplay which is as rousing as it is impressive.

Therapists Pumping Through Our Speakers: You Had A Little Bit Of Bad Luck, The Lights Shining On You From That Moment Onwards (i couldve just write five words but i dont think that's enough)
re: nervousbreakdance 's 'We Liked You Better Fat: Confessions Of a Pariah'
It's ridiculous how people are just waiting for our fall. yeah? lmao. As an outcast (kinda) myself, in this little circle of society that I live in, it has always been a trouble to fit in. They will always give you side eyes, judging silently. Why did they dressed up like that, who is their parents, they didn't teach their kids? Even with trivial things.
This is where something that YOU didn't realize; YOU saved lives, provided comfort. Through words that are sung accompanied with rhythms.
You might see it, might not. Things can get worse, they do. I believe things can get worse. But, when you're clouded with these kinds of things (I don't even know how to explain) . you're not really seeing how far you've gone.
As much as these so-called 'fans' back then, claiming they love you yet throwing you under the bus, there's always few back there, back of the room, smiling to you because they know it is better for you that way and they're proud of you, proud of your achievements.
I am talking about this in general.. its. really subjective. people might like it. might not. But, the important thing is, you did it. you achieve want you wanted. you know what is better for you and you went for it.
10 years of Soul Punk and i wish i could ramble all day long how this little project you made back then had given me hope and safety when i needed it the most but im no good at words (no really, im relying on mental dictionary). The messages you were sending through tracks were really strong. strong enough to get me going with hope and promise that it'll get better. it does. it does get better eventually.
Not to be such a cliche, but somehow, i find comfort through Soul Punk (lets put it that way. its late and i don't use lights).
(Once again i could ramble all day about that one 11 tracks album released in 2011 but we dont have time here.)
To put it easily, track 10, 'Coast (Its Gonna Get Better)',
"I keep making mistakes but it takes some time to get anything right. right?"
a line. and that really speaks through. you might mess things up several times. But with more hard work and focus, you'll get it eventually.
Back to my point, (adhd mind melt here) you, Mr Patrick Vaughn Stump, had given so much positive vibes through the years youve been a musician. and singer. and lyricist. (wiki help me). I am thankful you're still here with us, creating what you love, doing what you love. because by the end of the day, you are what you love not who loves you. (srar moment) i am proud of you, your past self, and your future self. you've gone through a lot, and you made it. and from that i wish i could take notes from your journey.
and, Soul Punk. you outdid yourself back then, she was way too early for the time. Thank you for composing her from scratch to a complete album with a deluxe edition (mind you). Long live my beloved. (oh and Truant Wave EP too, hehe love u)
Things get bitter but it'll get better eventually. Thank you for still believing the world.
