Red Mosquito

But for real I got back into Violent Femmes recently and they kick all kinds of ass.

No can do. If I try all the RM musical instrument Nazi's will come out and start bagging my choices:

"That's marimba, not a xylophone you idiot".

"What sort of a twat can't recognise a glockenspiel?? Duh."

I'm just not ready for that sort of aggression this rainy, overcast Monday morning...

F the nitpickers

Yes they do. My post was made after randomly listening to a VF mix I'd made years ago. Good shit.

Man, Life Without Buildings were so fucking good. Shame they only made one record.

So good, Any Other City is one of my favorite records ever. Their live album is so fun too

Yeah Yeah Yeahs really shit the bed so hard with Mosquito that it just ended the band, didn't it?

Josh Homme produced the new Royal Blood record. I think it's cool how they found their own sound as a two piece, with a short scale bass in split signal, which basically sounds like both a bass and a guitar playing in unison, but at what point do you just add a guitarist and branch out? The formula has grown stale.

In think it might be medium scale at 32 inch instead of the standard 34, but you get my point.

I just listened to the new singles - I like it. You can hear Josh Homme’s influence for sure. I liked the first two records but heard them once or twice and it was good enough. This has a lot of promise.

Oh I've never checked out their live album, I'll give it a listen.

If I find a new artist and I don't know from which album I should start I usually go to allmusic.com, check out the Discography section and pick the albums based on the ratings. The thing is I don't even know what this site is or who is running it. I think I discovered it almost 20 years ago and have been using it ever since.

Here's an interesting thing I found from the FAQ-section (which I checked for the first time now):

Why can't I find Bryan Adams on AllMusic?
Due to the request of Mr. Adams, we are no longer permitted to display his information on AllMusic.

Lol

Please have some respect for Mr Adams, Jorge.

Man, that cuts like a knife.

I'll see myself out.

I was pretty surprised by how tight the performances were. And Sue's stage banter between the songs is adorable, so entertaining to listen to.

The right stuff! The right stuff!

I'm listening to Iggy Pop's Post pop depression, remembering the amazing live show at the Fox Theater. I've never been a big Iggy Pop fan, but that was one of the best show's I've ever been to.

Agreed. I saw him just a few years ago and he was great.
