Added 2023-09-21 13:00:04 +0000 UTCHey everyone, for this episode Garrett agreed to be on with me but ONLY if i met him at the cemetery gates... Which I thought was weird until I listened to the album. Check out this very moody Record Club

2023-09-22 17:50:45 +0000 UTCI like Meat is Murder a lot more tbh but this was pretty good. 3.5/5 for me. Morrissey is such a little freak

2023-09-22 02:22:11 +0000 UTCI stumbled upon a band called Hot Snakes and their album Audit in Progress. George Clanton's new album and some of his older ones. Scaring the Hoes. Blue Lakes by the Sun Arcs. Some LCD Soundsystem as well.

2023-09-22 00:58:07 +0000 UTCOh, I meant to ask! What else is everyone listening to lately? I started going through Raspberries discography after wrapping up Suzi Quatroβs. So far Raspberries is good stuff! Beatles inspired but less daunting because thereβs only a handful of albums.

2023-09-21 16:44:22 +0000 UTCMorrissey is so awful I really didnβt want to like this album but I gotta admit his smooth Kermit-the-Frog-like crooning is pleasing to the ear. Marrβs jangly guitar is right up my alley, too. Sidenote: If I remember right, Morrissey abstained from sex for decades and at one point said something to the effect of βthereβs a powder keg between my legs waiting to blowβ which is a very gross-funny way of wording youβre horny. Overall I preferred Side B because Iβm a sucker for up-tempo tracks. I also learned that There is a Light That Never Goes Out took that great opening riff from a Rolling Stones cover of Marvin Gayeβs song Hitch Hike (or The Velvet Undergroundβs There She Goes Again - so I guess I still canβt get away from Lou Reed)

2023-09-21 14:00:48 +0000 UTCOkay, I just want to finally get rid of the Shoegaze misconception within the Mega64 universe. Shoegaze music is not related to Emo music and it's no called shoegaze because they are sad and looking at their shoes. The whole point of Shoegaze music is that it's alternative rock with guitar focused music that utilizes a lot of guitar effects. The name came from bands looking down at their multiple effects pedals that they would constantly be using and changing throughout their songs. To which audiences watching these bands do this created the term, Shoegaze. It started in the late 80's early 90's as bands in alt rock wanted to create more dense and expansive sounds within their music. There's some amazing bands that are totally worth looking into if this interests anyone. My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Slowdive, etc.

2023-09-21 13:38:27 +0000 UTCThe Smiths are one of my favourite bands π€ I prefer their self-titled album but I absolutely adore this one too. Cemetery Gates and There is a Light are some of the best songs I've ever heard by anyone. πΏπΏπΏπΏ.π/π
