Was just listening this morning. "anything" is just flooring.

I enjoyed this album.

[Mickey]

I don't get you Joe.

[epilogue]

I don't get you Joe.

I...

You liked it too, no?

[Mickey]

I don't get you Joe.

I...

You liked it too, no?

I just think you should be losing your shit on this one. It's quite good and right up your alley, it would seem.

I just think you should be losing your shit on this one. It's quite good and right up your alley, it would seem.

It's a little too samey and quiet for me to lose my shit over it. But it's really good. And I imagine it'll only get better with time.

Was just listening this morning. "anything" is just flooring.

I had that one on repeat for the last few weeks. Right now this is the one that is flooring me:

[Mickey]

I'm not in love with the instrumentals section but it's decent work music.

[super nintendo chalmers]

Oh my, oh my. David Nance and Co do it again.

Twelve inches of evidence of a whirlwind Philadelphia weekend.. They wrote & recorded the record and played a gig and consumed a few dozen burritos & a pile of beer and shipped a fella back to Omaha.. The audacious ad-hoc 4 piece ragged combo put in the sleepless 48 hours and this is what we get: 2 raw sides of electric rock action jammed with all the humbucked girth, single-coil screech & low down thud a Tascam 388 can handle. Today’s necessary palate cleanser. Recorded & mixed by Emily Robb, mastered by Mikey Young.

[LetMeSleep]

listening to Beabadoobee, "Fake It Flowers" lately - very 90s, somewhat summery alt rock

First song lasted 15 seconds, songs 2 + 3 barely 10 secs.

Nope. Not for me.

[VinylGuy]

I guess;

Pearl Jam Gigaton
Phoebe Bridgers Punisher
Fetch The Bolt Cutters Fiona Apple
WE ARE CHAOS Marilyn Manson
Serpentine Prision Matt Berninger
Straight Songs Of Sorrow Mark Lanegan
folklore Taylor Swift
Ohms Deftones

[Jorge]

Man I've also gotten a bit more impatient and curmudgeonly about music as I've gotten older but I sure am glad I'm not at the point where I'm deciding if I like a song after less than 10 seconds

[tragabigzanda]

[LetMeSleep]

Jorge, your comments made me re-evaluate this.

I pressed play again and after 5 seconds I turned it off. Sometimes you just know.

Without hearing the album in question, I don't think this is at all related to age or curmudgeonliness, but rather having A) digested enough music to have a decent idea of what's going to tickle your fancy, and B) having been turned off by enough music that you have learned to recognize its tropes and quickly move on.

Like, there are certain productions elements I'll hear -- mostly in the rock category -- that I can confidently ascertain within seconds if I want to keep listening or not. I've been that way since like 1997.

Whatever it is, I'm being sincere when I say I am glad my brain doesn't work like this, or at least not yet. A lot of music I love is stuff I was initially uncomfortable, annoyed, or dismissive about. And even the stuff I hate I think deserves more of a shot than ten seconds

[tragabigzanda]

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

[knee tunes]

Some things that are boring I give a chance to always to grow.

Things that are annoying or irritating within 10 seconds? F a bunch of that
