Listen | Wild Nothing shares new single 'Suburban Solutions' from upcoming album

Wild Nothing has released another track from the upcoming LP “Hold”. The new track, titled Suburban Solutions’ features Ms. Dana and Molly Burch participating in a kind of pseudo-chorus while Wild Nothing’s Jack Tatum advocates for self-improvement by using an anti-jingle inspired by 80s synthpop. The track follows the release of previous single ‘Headlights On’, both of which return to the…

jb’s music has more in common with the emo/hardcore/post-hardcore music she’s influenced by than it has in common with her indie contemporaries despite the way she’s categorized and that’s why you get a lot of bg fans who say they can’t get into her music iN THIS ESSAY I WILL-

#saw a bracket poll on twitter that had bg and phoebe and lucy’s albums on it along with the usual suspect indie musicians but not julien #and i am not saying this to be critical of people who feel that way btw!#no one needs to listen to her music out of obligation! it’s for the people it’s for!!!!#i’m just saying that as an emo kid through and through there’s a reason that to me she’s the best musician who’s ever walked the earth #and i know a LOT of people who connect to her music who are more in those circles #that’s why her pre-bg fanbase skewed older (and often male)#anyway this is sort of a ‘water is wet’ post like it’s obvious but we don’t talk about it enough #txtposting into the void

if you dont mind sharing, what are some of your favorite ska songs/bands?

I will admit I am not a huge band person I tend to be more of a "pick whatever random songs sound good" person, so I can't recommend any good bands. I also listen to Ska Punk, which is a subgenre of Ska... and Punk. So I am not a good authority on Ska songs to listen to I am just someone who is banned from being passed the aux cord...

But some of my favorite songs include:

No Children - Ska (cover)

Quinto Patio Ska

Everything Went Numb

S F D D

And songs by Reel Big Fish tbh. I know I just said I don't listen to specific bands but Reel Big Fish has some pretty good songs like...

Sell Out

And their Take on Me cover

Here's my disclaimer, though: I am not into music subcultures I just listen to whatever sounds good (and jazzy punk with horns sounds good), so I could be giving absolutely awful music recommendations that anyone who is especially into Ska (and more specifically Ska Punk) might find egregious. I personally just grab whatever song sounds good and add them to my forever long playlist.

Also the Jabberjaw (Running Underwater) song from Pain used for the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovies is probably the reason I enjoy Ska punk so much, and it has been in my playlist for years now:

If nothing else in this list interests you, I require everyone by law to listen to Jabberjaw Running Under Water by pain and watch the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovie video of it. I used to watch Boomerang a million times, and this was probably the only Groovie I really enjoyed watching and didn't go to the bathroom during.

#im very embarassed about being open with my music tastes because I feel like a poser 100% of the time #but im not really claiming to be a part of any music subcultures im moreso just someone who likes what I like #and is banned from using bluetooth or the aux in the car #so im owning it #here's some songs I listen to that are ska (specifically ska punk)#and if someone who is more knowledgeable on the topic and is a part of the subculture wants to add on please do #and if you trash on me for my music tastes that is fair #half of my songs on my playlist are indie songs of debatable quality ya know?? so im not the best music authority #i like my punk songs with horns ya know??#i need some brass in there #trust me my number 1 song on spotify was Lucky Ducks from the Bobs Burgers movie #and my number 2 song was the instrumental version of Lucky Ducks from the Bobs Burgers movie #and no other bobs burgers songs #so I am NOT the person to ask for music recommendations #I once annoyed my family by adding europop to the roadtrip playlist #I have the entire Cats broadway cast recording on CD and my 3 favorite songs on my main playlist #am I talking myself down because I am not confident in myself and scared of judgement from others for my music choices? yes #but also I am speaking from experience that no one lets me touch the aux cord for a REASON

Not the best blog post on tumblr about the best ever death metal band in denton

No matter what storytelling angle they take, the Mountain Goats (Aka John Darnielle and his band of merry men) tend to be very sincere in their messaging. No matter what ethos they push, they push it wholeheartedly. That emotional message, and the way that they communicate it, varies quite a bit, but there’s a specific kind of “template” that tends to excite me the most. It goes like this: some downtrodden character from the American southeast, through some act of self-actualization, throws off whatever shackles that bind them, be they societal, mental, or emotional, and decides to just grab life by the tail, and chase whatever calling is ringing in their heart. The emotional core of these songs tends to be one of freedom, of unabashedly embracing life, and everything that comes with it, rather than hiding away. It’s a message that’s spread across several stories in the John Darnielle sonic universe (most notably the multi-song arc of Jenny), but there’s a particular one that appeals to me: “The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton.”

As the title might imply, it’s a song about 2 childhood friends, Cyrus and Jeff, who, decide to start a death metal band, like a lot of bored teenagers in a small town tend to do. While it is unnamed, is the best in the town of Denton, because they’re the only one. It’s a song that doesn’t give much away about its protagonists, as if there’s more to their lives than what we get to see in the song itself. It doesn’t even really have a conclusive ending, the band just kind of breaks up after Cyrus gets sent to a reformatory school. It’s implied that he and Jeff have a plan to “get even”, but because of how vague this is in the song itself, whatever this plan is, gets left up to the listener’s interpretation. Really, the song finds its climax in a more emotional sense, rather than a thematic one. John Darnielle spends the last verse proclaiming that any amount of creativity, any amount of artistic passion, will always be worth more than any authority that tries to put it down. “The best ever death metal band outta denton / will in time both outpace and outlive you” is a phrase that can have multiple meanings, but I choose to see as an ode to the enduring power of creativity. The best ever death metal band in Denton wasn’t exactly the Beatles, but they did have the guts to just fucking try, to put some artistic ambition into the world, and that’s worth more than anything else.

“The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton '' is the opener on All Hail West Texas, an album from a period where the Mountain Goats project was pretty much just John Darnielle and a bunch of lo-fi folk recordings. However, with how it promotes chasing your dreams, and the lasting power of ambition, it sets a pretty nice precedent for the rest of the his’ catalog. Obviously, it's a message that really appeals to me, because I love this song to absolute death. I have quite a bit of work that I feel self conscious about, and I sometimes wonder if what I’m doing is even worth anything at all. But this song is a way of reminding me that my writing, my creative works, are inherently valuable, because they are creative, because they represent a willingness to just try. Because, if a failed unnamed death metal band from two high school crapouts in Denton Texas is worth something, then so is everything else.

Listen | The Killers release new single 'Your Side of Town'

The Killers have released their first new music of 2023 with new single,’Your Side of Town’. Written by Brandon Flowers. it is a follow up to ‘boy’, which they dropped last year, but this time, they’ve got some wicked synth and distorted vocals in the chorus. It’s still got that classic Killers sound though – you know, those anthemic tunes they’re famous for. The track arrives as the band are…
