    "Bring it" songs

    You've only got one? I'd guess something like Blood is on Your Hands, but I'm posting this song because I just like it.

    Sly Stone - RIP

    Oh man, such a loss. Dude was so talented
  3. I freely admit I have no fucking idea whatsoever anymore. The media landscape is so fractured it's almost impossible to tell. I have arguments with my son because he wants Alexa to play some super esoteric video game song which isn't on Amazon music, and I take pains not to say it isn't real music and undercut his feelings, but it's a bitch to articulate to a 9 year old what media consumption was like and what is mainstream or not.
  4. Sometimes doing some heavy lifting here.
  5. Gus Polinski takes umbrage with your bagging on the polka.
  6. Nothing says down on the farm like Melodyne, amirite
  7. That is definitely way beyond my knowledge of All American Rejects.
  8. I'm not the biggest fan of their tunes, but I give those guys credit for actually being pretty cool and funny. They have been throwing impromptu backyard shows this year at random houses. And the lead singer is starting an OnlyFans for some reason.
  9. Oh man I forgot all about that song.
  10. I think most people are getting hung up on style over substance. Like I said, the first band that really made me stop and notice this was Korn. And one of the hardest all time dudes was Gordon Lightfoot. But to your bigger point, I wasn't speaking about sadness, that is endemic to so much great music. Though I'm not a big Cure stan I must confess. It's an emotional stunting, and I'm not sure passive is exactly the right word. Somewhere between passive and reactive maybe is more accurate. It's the notion of events happening to you as opposed to you being an active player in them, a complete lack of agency. In quote it would be the difference between "Well fuck man, this shit sucks" and "Poor me, life's unfair wahhh". People like to point out all the travails of the millennials, which there are a bunch ( 9/11, 08' crash, etc..) but as I said this predates all that. I think it's suburban boredom and ennui personally. There's obviously too many great songs about shitty things than I can count, but just off the top of my head a song from the early aught's that is the opposite of what I'm saying is Pretty Fucked UP by the SUpersuckers, It's about his girl cheating on him, which is no fun, but the message isn't poor me, it's fuck that bitch. This obviously isn't some super heavy aggressive song, that's not what I mean. It's relating to it's subject in a proactive manner. That's definitely a crime in and of itself.
  11. Haha, good times.
  12. Plus the all timer.
  13. Hell yeah. I got my Koffs sticker on my toolbox and buttons on the grill cloth of my 4 x 12 I use with my BF Bassman.
  14. I love some DBT
  15. Keep you on your toes around here.
  16. I see where you went wrong
  17. What the fuck did I just read
  18. Accurate
  19. Dauphine starts on Sunday folks.
  20. I use neck straps
  21. Wednesday is pretty awesome, I've followed them on IG for quite sometime. I'm glad to see them getting exposure finally.
  22. No, the opposite, Sparta. Jim Ward was his name. I've only just realized I omitted one of the absolute worst offenders. And definitely my generation, Marilyn Manson.
  23. So actually I think this is part of what I'm talking about, while I think it's symptomatic and not a cause, these things are absolutely other markers of what is going on. I would never! As far as At the Drive In, the one guitarist was ok and started a pretty decent band, the singer however is a fucking douche canoe and absolute poster child for this shit. Absolute bitch made pussy with the emotional fortitude of an 8 year old.
