There seems to be a distinctive sound to Thai rock music. I'm listening to my global music playlist in background & คนตัวเล็ก by Hobbit came on. Even though I'm not familiar with this song or the group, I knew the song was in Thai before the lyrics started just from the sound, :08 to :19. ¿Anyone who's into Thai rock notice this? ¿Is it the playing style? Or ¿do they use the same studio which puts out a distinctive sound?
Anyone know if Discogs is a good place to work? They're hiring. They're not like doomed for some reason or anything, or just laid off all the good people or something? I feel like the #vinyl#music people here might know
A fan from Norway who got on Conan's podcast, mentioned he was a rapper, Conan joked about singing with him & getting a #1 hit, and later Conan goes to Norway as part of "Conan Must Go" and cuts some purposely comical vocals that the fan actually mixed in really well.
YouTube music often shows song titles for songs using non-Latin writing systems transliterated into the Latin alphabet, which makes the titles easier to read but hard to verify that the song is in a language that I'm seeking. I wish they would show the title both ways.
If lyrics are available, then I can use the lyrics to verify. But often they're not.
This morning I'm discovering the music of Veronica Adane. Not sure where Veronica is from, but the cover lettering is Ethiopic, which implies singing in Amharic and being from Ethiopia or Eritrea. ¡Nice!
"It’s an album of immense ambition and immense vision, and the artist with his name on the jacket is operating from a place that is not one of expertise, but it’s also not amateurish. It exists in this middle space, one defined by eagerness and seeking."
