Es terrible lo grande que es este disco. Más que nada porque, más allá que tiene varias de sus mejores canciones , no tiene un solo hit. Convirtieron la música pop en algo superlativo sin tener un Hey Jude o un A Hard Day’s Night. Y pasan los años y sigue tan actual como siempre.
Sonic Youth is the kind of band that's easy to hate in a reactionary way if you know little about them (quintessential NYC, arty, "cool," etc.) but then you dig into the catalog and it's like "no this really is one of the greatest American bands."
Sonic Youth were informed by No Wave bands like Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, and avant-garde composers like Glenn Branca, but with a pop-culture sensibility that incorporated everything from the Sex Pistols to Madonna. Smashing Pumpkins were just a cool, big-sounding rock band.
32 years ago today, Pavement released Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.
To promote the album, the band made their late-night television debut performing Cut Your Hair on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Captured on Later… with Jools Holland in 2002, Boys In The Band was written by Pete Doherty and Carl Barât and released earlier that year as a single, reaching the UK Top 10. The song later appeared on the band’s debut album Up the Bracket, released in October 2002 and produced by Mick Jones. Built on fast, tightly locked guitars, the track became one of The Libertines’ defining early songs, with television appearances like this marking their breakthrough from the London club circuit to national recognition.
NPR Tiny Desk is an example of normalized insanity. The premise is a band's nightmare––playing in a small room with dry signals and no mix in stale light. At best it's almost good, at worst it destroys careers. I think it only endures because people subconsciously hate musicians
This is what Grealish is supposed to be. A cult hero at a small/medium sized club. A maverick that has the trust and confidence to create special moments. Dying archetype of footballer.
