Dark Matter (song)

[tommy]

I do it because Mike Watt is one of my all-time favorite musicians, a guy who has embodied and lived a lot of my ideals about music as a capitalist enterprise; and who often simply refers to himself simply as Watt.

Wotman's stage name feels like an intentional nod to Mike Watt, despite Wotman's demonstrated ideals about music as a capitalist enterprise being about as far from Mike's as one could get: A bunch of vapid music produced for maximum commerialimpact.

So fuck him. There's only one Watt in my vocabulary and I'm glad to die on that hill.

And die you shall

This is a credible threat. Mods?

You're next

[VinylGuy]

Anyone can share that instrumental b side? I wanna sing my own version

[Ms Harmless]

I know what you did last album cycle

[The Argonaut]

nothing grabbed me about this song, that is what I shall say at this time

[Chris_H_2]

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make the connection between the “spritzy” guitars here and those in My Morning Jacket’s Highly Suspicious (forgive me if this has been mentioned).

[coptheriotact]

I use wotman because it like how it looks.. there should be more mans...


like stipman, or tragman

[Ello Sailor]

"Wot man?" is what I say to myself after every single Tree post.

This would rank in the lower third of Gigaton songs if it was on that album.

[Ms Harmless]

which would be just fine because there are no bad songs on Gigaton

and they don't tend to release the best song as a first single, that's not been the case for most of their career

That means the album they scrapped with Can’t Deny Me must have been straight fire, as the kids say

Gigaton was ass. This is better than all but two songs on there.

[RockPusher]

That's certainly a take.

I disagree but I like the cut of your jib.

[Leatherhead]

I'm kinda loving the way Eddie sings "for someone else's mistake!".

[bodysnatcher]

I like the way the song goes “pvvvvrrrr RRRR rehuh PVVVVVvvv RuhhhhRh pVVVV”

[Leatherhead]

I like the way the song goes “pvvvvrrrr RRRR rehuh PVVVVVvvv RuhhhhRh pVVVV”

Yea me too.

Haha I love to hear people’s opinions. I don’t think this new track is better than any Gigaton song. But I’m still sitting with it. Maybe better than never destination or wolfmoon. It just doesn’t sound like a fleshed out song to my ears, kinda boring. I really miss the layers and atmosphere of the Gigaton songs and the fact the songs could “breathe”. I’m hoping for some more interesting songs on the album.

All in all, Gigaton fucking rules.

[stip]

love the plaintive edge to Eddie’s voice on ‘take shape’ during the chorus

also that final chorus is a mini triumph

Imagine Can’t Deny Me, Olé, and Of The Earth on the same album. No thank you
