Absolutely love the chords, lyrics, and stories told through Five for Fighting's songs. Cousin introduced me to more of his stuff beyond 100 Years when we were building a mix-CD on his old G4 iMac PC, which I thought was wicked cool at the time due to the form factor.

ANNIE ARE YOU OK ANNIE ARE YOU O- oh. um. Sorry, got carried away there. Seriously though, though I enjoy Michael's original, this version has it's own reasons for living into the notoriety it earned in 2001.

Though I wasn't into the 80's & 90's rap scene growing up, I look back on artists like Run DMC, Biggie, and D12 as being the talented players in the rap game. Today we've got ... who left? While I won't knock anyone who likes mumble rap, it's just not the roots from whence good rap came from.

Changing a bit today

 

Brehm me up scotty! Er. Wait. Not like that. Or maybe like that? IDK. You tell me. I'm lost in dreams after listening to both the above songs because these EDM artists combined with Laura's vocals creates such a sleepy atmosphere at times. She's also released her own acoustic EP titled Breath with a track by the same name.

Currently listening to this song by Lena Katina (she was the red-head on the pseudolesbian Russian pop duo t.A.T.u. (anyone remember them?).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does anyone remember t.A.T.u. ? Hello me, listening to nothing but 200km/h in the Wrong Lane for most of summer 2008? 2009? I can't remember. Whilst most people only know All the Things She Said, I quite enjoyed the album as a whole. I don't have a favorite song off the album per sey, but particulaly favor the slower tempo of Stars with Russian rap interspersed among the English.

Saw a gameplay video of Tony Hawk Pro Skater Remaster, instantly reminded me of SOAD. 

 

Oh my, I won't hedge my bets on anything, but I really hope Daron and Serj can put their differences aside and release a new SOAD album. There are rumors of the band having a back catalogue of ideas and allegedly enough songs to make an album, but for now I'll just have to relive the band I spent hours listening to back when I was questing for the Horde playing WoW Burning Crusade many years ago.

I can't remember if it was yourself or another user who shared their mashup cover of Metallica's Harvester of Sorrow and Soggy Bottom Boys' Man of Constant Sorrow from the movie O' Brother Where Art Thou - I love that rendition for its' mix of thrashy bluegrassin' goodness. This quarantine playthrough of Thunderhead is great too, mostly because so few bands I listen to use a banjo in their tracks.

Gee thanks, now I'm all sticky from the adhesive.  No but really, I absolutely LOVE how the groovy bass plucks play right up there with the lead synth throughout the entire song in such a complimentary way. Can't remember exactly how I first heard the track back in 2015, but as soon as it began playing it reminded me of extremely intense versions of some of the tracks by BC's own JPOD The Beat Chef.

I'ma start by saying I absolutely hated everything about artists like Ke$ha for the fan-service, marketing tactics, and weak production qualities. Then I was selected to be the "DJ" at a couple of work parties. After DJing (and knocking back a few beers), I came to understand why people craved catchy earworm songs performed by artists like her, Katy Perry, and Charlie XCX - they're great to sing along to when you're having a damn good time because they use predictable hooks and simplistic repeatable lyrics, which coincidentally make them really fun to create DJ mixes with. You win music industry, you win.

 

At least Katy Perry writes (or at least co-writes) most of her songs, which is something I favor in an artist, regardless of how manufactured their style might be. Oh right, and we can't forget Adam. Sweet, sweet, insomniac Adam. I haven't looked in years, but I hope he's doing well these days, because years of insomnia will kill you.

 

Now that that's out of the way, let's get onto my treat for everyone... synthwave duo PRIZM released a new album 4 days ago on September 4th that I can't put down. Though it's heavily edited to meet SynthWave™ standards (I joke I joke, what standards?), I absolutely love the highs in the vocals on Can't Bring Me Down. The entire album makes me want to hop in my car with 3 friends, windows rolled down on a hot summer night, and just drive around the city until the sun comes up.

@Crunchy Dragon I’m guessing it’s always Mike Shinoda who writes the raps in LP songs

@Crunchy Dragon... I'd apologize for tagging and quoting you so many times but like... can we just create a shared Spotify playlist and toss shit back and forth until we run out of metal & pop punk bangers to share? Because I can't remember the last time I didn't like one of the tracks you've shared.

I can't quite put my finger on what bands this [currently] quintet reminds me of, and none of the "Fans Also Like" artists on Spotify are ringing a bell either, but they be good-sounding to my ears, albeit a little harsher than I like at times. I seem to recall hearing them once before last summer on the constantly rotating Heavy Queens playlist that consists mostly of female-fronted metal bands. I'm sure they'll grow on me though.

Who doesn't love a Poop Deck Party hosted by Captain Yarrface?   Explicit Content Warni - awe shit, who am I kidding. You know what you're in for from the title alone. Thanks a lot Youtube recommendations - the fact that I discovered these guys are all Alestorm's fault. I blame the hurdy gurdy.

These Aussies are still a little too fresh in my mind to formulate words beyond "mmm good" for me. I'll probably bring them up without thinking in a later reply to this thread once they've had more time to brew in me brain.

Chrissy & Co.'s cover of The 1975's Chocolate still does it for me every time, but they've done Hayley & Co. justice with their rendition of Ain't It Fun. I've still got their In Our Bones album in my car, but haven't been in the mood to listen to it in a few years now. Don't get me wrong; their albums are decent, but something about the way they've done their covers just resonates more with me.

Marissa! ...And those other guys in that band they did that one time! These Canadians were on FIRE back in 2014-2016 and managed to shoot more videos than some bands with larger fanbases over a similar period of time. That, and their videos were quite creatively shot and of very high production quality, too. Although... my opening sentence was a kind of jab at the fact that they went radio silent as a band about 3 years ago. I still see posts from Marissa from time to time, but far less frequently from Josh, Scott, and Justin. I just hope they're all doing OK these days.

Random side note: really been liking Courage My Love recently.

 

 

Yikes, this video is from 2011... I never realized how long these Kitchener locals had been around for. Definitely nothing shady about buying comics from a pop punk rocker wearing a trench coat in a public park. Nope. Totally safe. More seriously though, Brandon and the Arn-Horn's alt-rock roots stand out against a crowd for me, showcasing a band that knows how to both rock it hard whilst also having a vulnerable side.

 

I was going to end with my thoughts on Crystalyne, but I can't after I remembered that Courage My Love wrote this acoustic track containing lyrics that get me every time. That, and I appreciate the time they've taken to talk about their own anxiety troubles, as it's an encouragement to others that one's mental health is just as important as their physical health too. Now if you'll excuse me... I'm going to sleep peacefully because this song is just about over.

That'd be awesome, if I actually used Spotify

I was also under the impression that's what this thread was for, haha.

Interestingly enough, Chemicals in particular reminds me of Savages by Crashing Atlas, which I'm sure I've linked here before but screw it, here it is again:

I actually found Conquer Divide off of someone's post on r/Metalcore a bit ago, and I'm lowkey a sucker for female-fronted alt/rock/metal bands.

And just because I need to contrast Alissa with Arch Enemy, here's this gem from Kamelot:

I've been following Laura Brehm for probably 5-7 years now. I firmly believe that she is one of, if not the best vocalist in the EDM business.

Just about everything from her as a solo artist is really good, too.

And you obviously can't forget her acoustic EDM covers

Oh believe me, there's more where that came from. Australia has something down perfectly where pop punk is concerned.

Funny story, I actually just started listening to that when I checked the forum

[Commodus]

Time to get some electronic back in here. Nox Vahn & Marsh put out this great deep/tech house piece, "Come Together," that is at once pumped up and relaxing. Meditative, even. And no, it has no connection to the Beatles song.

Sounds like dream trance to me.

Never heard it, sounds nice.

It's slow enough that I'd call it deep or tech house, but it definitely has that dreamy quality to it. I'd definitely look at music from the Anjunadeep label, it's often in this mode!
