I'm interested in your dude naked vocals of this.

Severian's input always appreciated too. So pure.

I'm not picking on her. I feel sort of bad for her. I'm talking about her style, which she picked up from somewhere else. Regina Spektor, that Feist chick, Sharon Van Etten, even Kate Nash with the accent: they all sound very similar. To my ears, they're struggling to channel Billie Holiday. I never told anyone they had my permission to try this. |

I don't really know most of those chicks apart from Regina Spektor, whose music I know very little about. I'm sure you're right and you get a lot of dudes trying to sound like the Pavement singer too. It's just as bad. Also, how much can you do with a voice, really? |
Or all those singers who try to be the Alice in Chains guy or Eddie Vedder? God, how many hundreds. Maybe that trend is over now.
It's really weird how vocal trends occur at all. In the pop world, for the past decade many people have decided to sing "may" for "me," as in: "Look what you're doin' to may." I hear that all the time. Who decides this stuff? Quote:
I dunno. Seems to me the people who sing from their own gut manage something uniquely their own. But I can see how the lowly ones might have a problem, and might latch onto whatever's hip in the air. |
I don't care about the pop world.

Good idea. I'm gonna do the same. |

WHOA, leave SVE out of that bunch! As for the rest (and about five million more), yes, they sound lamely Holiday-ish but their root is more Chan Marshall than Billie. |
Is that Cat Power chick really that influential on girls singing these days? She's alright by me, it's just that she only seems to sing about disappointment, lost opportunities in love and that sort of shit. Nothing wrong with that, it just get a bit tedious after a while.

She actually covered Mary J Blige's "Deep Inside" on a John Peel session (not quite "recently", evidently). |
Ween suck.

Floating Coffin is a high point for sure. Also my favorite, though this year's Mutilator Defeated at Last has been in pretty constant rotation since its release. I'm also big into the old OC'S material, like the 3+4(Songs About Death & Dying/Get Stoved) and 2 collections. |

By sheer coincidence...
Browsing around youtube. Come across a cover of "David Watts" featuring a harp and sitar. Sounds promising. Then the female singer comes in. Hey, what do you know? THAT voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44zix8j-8UE |
Thee Oh Sees are so great...
Web on their latest has been my favorite (sort of) song since I first heard it played live last year. I find it hard to listen to the whole album after that, as it opens Mutilator... You'll hear people saying how good they are and wonder whether these guys are sane after listening to an album picked randomly. Their live performances are so thrilling, the songs are way better on stage (I discovered the studio version of Dead Energy after a couple of live shows and could not recognise it). I find Carrion Crawler/The Dream, Floatin Coffin to be among the solid albums, along with Putrifiers II. |
Just yesterday I found a sealed copy of this CD stacked with several CD's in my closet. Think I paid $1.99 for this when our Death Star size HEB closed out thier music department a few years back.
I had this on cassette from my high school days and remember their being some gnarly keyboard sounds......your description has peeked my curiosity! Quote:

The last time we talked about Sabbath I couldn't get MOR, Vol. 4 or Paranoid out of my head for fucking weeks. I woke up and went to sleep with songs from those albums just pulsing through my brain. So I'm gonna sit this one out, though Sabotage is definitely awesome.
I've been listening to oldish Swans, the new album by Milo, Erase Erratta's Lost Weekend (which is a great 2015 albums than was kinda overshadowed by No Cities to Love, and shouldn't be forgotten). Also Actress (aka Levantis) - Romantic Psychology 1 and an album I slept on for far too long: Your Discretion is Trust by Cities Aviv. Damn that's a good album. SpaceGhostPurrp better step his game up. |
And wait, how is Sabotage heavy but Sabbath Bloody Sabbath NOT?
|
Again I think Sabbath has never done any Zep, they just done Sabbath! And Sabbath is unique, Zep not.

Quote:
It's not- I mean, yeah Sabotage is heavy, but Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is totally effing heavy too, and that's a fact. Personally I prefer SBS, but I seem to be in the minority on that one. |
Quote:
I agree about Vol.4. The best. After that, Master of Reality, Paranoid, SBS, Sabotage, s/t. I do think they "did" Zeppelin, not in a derivative way. What I mean is that some of their songs seemed to come from a more wholistic Rock n' Roll perspective, one that relied on folk and blues and interplay between instruments, resulting in more of a "rock and roll" sound than a "metal" sound. I'm talking about songs like "Wicked World", which feels more like Cream or Zep, with a more traditional kind of vibe. Or, as I mentioned in the last BS free for all, the second part of the verse in "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" which has a very Led Zeppelin IV feel to it, even though the song starts out by busting down the door with, total medieval witchcraft and shit. But the pummel breaks and things get pretty, and the resulting sound is easy to describe as being "Zeppelin-like" but better. |

Interestingly i first fell in love with Sabotage during a psychedelic experience so that is probably apt
|

Head Of Wantastiquet from Stu's tapeworm blog......about 20 minutes in, a keyboard sound slowly starts pulsating and builds to an accompanying guitar that sounds so amazing......another GREAT recording by Stu!
