Topic: The Music Thread

So here is the Streets of Rage remix. Its kind of unfinished but I don't have the time to play around with it.

I have also uploaded a new song called Fairground I made when trying (and failing) to make a game late last year.

The second track is way better. Also my Final Fantasy 7 remix has over 500 listens. I've only ever logged in to post my tracks so I'm pretty chuffed. And here is that link.

I have been listening to the new Weyes Blood album which is really quite lovely.

This might be a silly question but how come most British singers don't sing with an English accent?

@WanderingBullet Most singers sound different when singing.

I finished a Slim Shady remix last week and posted it to soundcloud. Start us pretty rough but when the rapping kicks in it's really catchy.

Need to buy Dreams and make some tracks in the DAW. Contemplating buying it now.

@themcnoisy Don't think that's true.lol Half maybe but not most.... Besides, British rappers don't lose their accents when rapping. Guess it's not possible to sing with an English accent?

@johncalmc @Kidfried YES! Absolutely stunning album. Her voice does funny things to me...

I adore classic rock of 60s and 70s. I especially like Jefferson Airplane

@ellisael Funny you mention that. I recently started listening to Greta Van Fleet after a friend of mine was bugging me listen to it for a while; and I have to admit, they're great! It's that 70s rock, but with a more modern execution. I love it.

Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd are really into recreating old music videos. My favourite one is still the Go West music video (thought it was really funny) but this is their third and most recent one:

@octane Sounds wonderfullll!

@Octane if you like Greta give the band Rival Sons a spin.

I have been listening to In The Absence Of Truth by Isis recently, as well as some mathcore that I am pretty pleased with, I like all that stuff and prefer it to metal, all that 'core stuff floats my boat right now, and Tool are the fathers of it all.

Wavering Radiant is also a great post-metal album by Isis, please feel free to check it out as well as 'Absence and let me know your opinions of the albums. My jazz phase is pretty much over so now I am listening to decent "manly" music.

Other noteworthy albums I have been listening to recently:

These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneeers Or The Lion Sleeps When It's Antelope Go Home
Narrows - Painted
Talons - We All Know
Minus The Bear - Highly Refined Pirates
Minus The Bear - Menos El Oso
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity

@Draco_Ecliptic Wilco are a band I listen to quite a bit. I think 'Star Wars' might be my favourite album of theirs, although that could be recency bias talking. Is it possible to have recency bias towards an album that's four years old?!

@Gremio108 Can you recommend an album of theirs that is similar to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or Star Wars in terms of experimentation?

@Draco_Ecliptic 'A Ghost is Born' is along those lines. Perhaps a bit too experimental in places for my liking but there are some great songs on it.

We must be due something new from them soon.

One of my favourite bands, Arab Strap.
Ever heard of this song? It makes mention of Playstation, beer and broken hearts: a possible Pushsquare anthem?

@ellisael Do you like ZZ Top's 'Eliminator' album or Slash's Snakepit's 'It's Five o' Clock Somewhere'?
