I listen to all kinds of music with saturation (and loads of [post-]metal/hardcore/rock). I support artists I like as much as I can. I (badly) play the guitar (Les Paul & Orange amp). Toots about music, occasionally food, sometimes politics (leftist). French guy, toots in English. He/him.

I just came back from a friend's birthday; her husband is playing in a balkan jazz/rock band and they were playing all night long, that was fucking awesome. I missed Dvne (they were in Paris, and the price was ridiculously cheap) for her birthday and it was worth it, we (I was with my better half and my older kiddo) had lots of fun

@thomas cool, enjoy!

(I'd be very happy if you could lie here when you come back from the gig, telling that they were terribly bad, I'd be less frustrated 😅)

I am currently listening to a brand new album that I'd describe as "atmospheric doom metal".

Can you guess which one it is?

mbr,
@mbr@metalhead.club avatar

@derthomas yeah I made that up 😎
But I found them pretty progressive, with the calmer parts and some of the epic riffs, and even brass instruments. Gloom is just because it's not really joyful, even though it's doom...

@mbr@metalhead.club avatar

@derthomas if that's what I'm thinking about, I would have defined them as progressive gloom doom metal 😁

Fuck YouTube ads! I avoid the platform as much as possible, but sometimes I have no other choices... It's regularly the case with , and also sometimes for new releases (the new Beth Gibbons for example). When I'm home I can easily use yt-dlp to get the music locally without the ads, but when I'm at work I don't have this option and I'm suffering, a lot. I gave up listening to Beth Gibbons this week because 2 ads between each song is really unbearable

I have been told by my coworkers that some younger people consider it aggressive when you use thumbs up or put a period at the end of a text message.

I would ask for an explanation if why, but I don’t think it would help.

@DXMacGuffin @kohelet I understand you but I think there are some important points here:

  • written language is language and thus fluid and evolving
  • Y gen is the first generation to actively use written language to communicate instantaneously from the start and it impacts the way we write and express ourselves, especially to convey emotions
  • these new gens know grammar and how to use it but it is adaptive/adapted depending on the context

Guess which other song was released less than a month after I was born!

Can we agree already that Summer '85 was the best summer of the 80s? 😂

DVNE's Voidkind is one of the albums I'm listening to the most at the moment. And it's a grower!
I was not really familiar with them before but what I like in this album is the diversity of sounds: some parts sound sludgy and remind me of early Baroness and other similar acts from the '00s, some parts are really progy in a Tool way, some parts are lurking towards post-metal with repetitive riffs and nice atmosphere. The combination of fry, throat and clear singing is the icing on the cake!

@historyofpunkrock and that's an awesome record, that's a shame it took so long for it to be released. I can -- literally -- listen to Politicians in my Eyes all day long

Today is my daughter's birthday. And among other things, we'll offer her a kalimba. At 3 she got a ukulele. At 1 a percussion set. I can't explain why (🙄), but she seems to like music 😄
Oh and of course my son got his own percussion set for his first birthday, and my parents offered him something with a xylophone, a cymbal and a small drum and he's almost never leaving his drumsticks, I feel like having a tiny version of a drummer at home now!

It's not much but I really like this inventive cover of Pink Floyd's One of These Days on Black Meddle from Nachtmystium. Being kind of an homage to the Floyds it totally makes sense. And while you're at it, go listen to the full album and especially to Seasick, in 3 parts, that closes magnificently the record (I'm in love with the saxophone on this one).

with Kaki King today. She's an amazing musician, first and foremost a (very talented & with a unique technique) guitarist and a singer, and she can actually play all the instruments on her albums (and notably do so sometimes live, with the help of the Holy Loop). King is very versatile, some of her work purely instrumental, sometimes acoustic, electric, more rock or more experimental, always great. I discovered her with Dreaming of Revenge in 2008:

There's a bunch of good songs from Eels on the subject, but my favourite is probably:

Eels, a Line in the Dirt

https://youtube.com/watch?v=PBsMuwjZGjM

The song is simple yet powerful and very bittersweet

Following last week , let's continue to explore Karina Utomo's work with her main act: High Tension. She's not the only woman in the band as the drummer is Lauren Hammel, who's also playing (in a totally different genre) with Tropical Fuck Storm. High Tension is pretty brutal, their blackened chaotic hardcore being pretty dark... And their latest release talks about colonialism, oppression and the anti-communist purge in Indonesia in the 60s.:

Just waiting for it to be available on a EU-based reseller, I'm fed up with the crazy import taxes I have to pay for British records since Brexit
