All I ever get is the damn album cover, offical audio, and some live stuff. I have to scroll a few down to find the actual video, and by then I’ve ended up on so many stills I give up on thinking there’s a video…
Maybe they’ve been getting back at me all these years for turning off my history. Or maybe my google fu is poor. Oh well.
Edit: that’s why I’m happy to have found this community of fine folks.
Traditionally, I like alternative / rock from all eras, although im probably most familiar with the late 90’s - 10’s. With some typical pop and hip hop-ish stuff sprinkled in.
A few years back i started getting frustrated with, what i percieved, as a lack of everything. Simple beats, dumbed down lyrics, grating voices… i got snobby. It got to the point where everything new comming out, was actually annoying me. I figured if it had to lack substance, at least it could have a good beat. So, i ended up listening to alot of electronic music. I’m pretty up to date with dance and house now.
Really, I’m good with most genres, save country, classical, and jazz. Although, some “country” from the early 00’s can be ok. More popular Keith Urban or Kenney Chesney songs are fine, although, i guess i consider that more pop crossover.
I used to be up on all the new music and go to all the shows, but the shows stopped after marrage and my snobby self has fallen behind with the new music, although I recently discovered free vevo and xite with my Samsung TV and I’ve been impressed enough with some of the newer stuff to want to maybe give it another go.
Not a loaded question at all and thanks for the detailed reply.! Just trying to find some commonalities is all.
I never post anything new here, but, if you are looking for new stuff besides here, try college radio. There’s a few posts about different stations in this community
Also if you find a band you like, see if they are signed to a record label. Often the label will have a treasure trove of acts on their roster ya never heard of.
What we have in common is electronic music because I listen to heaps of DnB and ambient all throughout the day !
Nah, I like the stuff that gets posted on here. Brings back memories, and honestly I’m sometimes surprised when I see stuff that I didn’t think anyone else even heard of. I think there was a dovetail joint song on here a while back that I was surprised anyone remembered, much less listened too, lol.
Thats good advice. I do check out the college radio from time to time. I used to be in the car alot more, which was where I got most of my radio time. Checking labels is good advice. I never thought of It really. I alot of times I would just start checking chart archives for anything that would catch my attention then go find playlists and stuff with that artist in it. Lots of time, esp. with user playlists, you can find some off the beaten path artists on it.
I have a couple of subfocus and chase and status tracks in my playlists. And this old Adam freeland (not adam f) cd from that time i went to Bonnaroo and loved the live set. I cannot dubstep though…
ambient is OK. They have this radio show called Chillville on our local alternative station on Sunday mornings I used to listen to on occasion. It can be nice depending on my mood, but typically it’s too liable to induce sleep. I can do like straight techno that sometimes is thought of as ambient, since it’s just the music, but I drink way to much coffee to handle anything that doesn’t match my caffeine level.
That’s odd, the film clip is like in the top search results for me when I type in the band name.
