Totally counts

Nick Cave's "There Is A Kingdom" -> Lou Reed's "Perfect Day".

Can't believe I hadn't noticed that before. :o

Video Game Music Edition:


Super Mario Sunshine's Delfino Plaza pretty much has the same melodic rhythm as Earthworm Jim 2's Ending Theme. Hell, the overall mood is even eerily similar. When I heard Delfino Plaza sampled in a Death's Dynamic Shroud track, I initially thought they had sampled EWJ2.

And Me, from Dinosaur Jr.'s new album has the same or very similar acoustic guitar riff as a Cure song, I think Close To Me, or some other song from that album The Head On The Door, or that era.

Edit:
It's In Between Days

Yeah, the jangly guitar-strumming during the chorus especially.

Dorothea Paas's "Waves Rising" drove me crazy for a bit - what was that guitar reminding me of... Turned out to be Wye Oak's "We Were Wealth".

The Soup Nazi 06.27.2023 01:09 AM

Link Wray's "Rumble" -> Richard Thompson's "Shoot Out The Lights". A little bit.

ah, a thread for my observation - the single My Chemical Romance put out last year seems to heavily draw on Sunny Day Real Estate's 'Killed by an Angel'.

these past days I've been nearly constantly humming Bell Witch chords in my head, but then often it sort of morphs into this completely other song and lord knows that's a crap song!
Scorpions - Wind Of Change

From Wikipedia:

Claim of CIA creative input

The song is the subject of the Pineapple Street Studios podcast Wind of Change, released 11 May 2020, which raises questions regarding the song's origin. Patrick Radden Keefe, the New Yorker author and host of the podcast investigates the allegation that the song was written by or connected to the Central Intelligence Agency, citing a rumor originating allegedly from inside the agency. In a Sirius XM interview with Eddie Trunk on 13 May 2020, [Scorpions' Klaus] Meine stated "It's a fascinating idea, and it's an entertaining idea, but it's not true at all". In December 2020, it was reported that a further investigation of the song's origins based on the claims from the podcast will be adapted into a series for Hulu directed by Alex Karpovsky.

:D:D:D

There are some new old recordings of Godspeed You Black Emperor shared on Dime and Archive.org. One of them starts with about three minutes of background music. And I would love to know what song it is:
https://archive.org/details/gybe2002...1+-+Storm.flac
It could be Sun Ra perhaps? Or some blues band? Or even traditional world music? No clue.
But it definitely was an inspiration for Silver Mt Zion when they composed Sow Some Lonesome Corner So Many Flowers Bloom from their "This is our Punk-Rock" album


Sofa lala laaaa so fafa lala soooo

J Mascis in this 1997 interview looks a hell of a lot like Mike Myers in Wayne's World :D

Party on, _tunic_.

Afsky's Tak for alt (or perhaps one of their other songs, I actually don't recall right now because I don't know which song of theirs is what) really reminds me of this one: The Ex - State Of Shock
The guitar riffs on Afsky are very close to the melodies of State Of Shock, a bit slowed down

The Soup Nazi 04.21.2024 03:42 AM

Wussy's "Funeral Dress" riff sounds like a slowed-down version of The Undertones' "Teenage Kicks". I think. :)

The Soup Nazi 07.04.2024 01:13 AM

Swervedriver's "Kill The Superheroes" rides a "Silver Rocket" - you can hear it from the start, but at about 2:30 it goes all in, with a brief noise break and everything.
