"Share some good music" Friday

Hey Kristine @kristine , sorry if I offended you or anyone else with my comment, as you can see in my response to the video clip all the laughing faces suggest I am just asking the P155 out of the clip.
It was actually quite good and she is a great bass player, not so sure about all the creatures getting around the scenery, I’m still having nightmares​:joy::rofl::joy::rofl:
Cheers Brian

Sorry not beating a dead horse but everyone knows I am mad about this band. A song about society judging her body if she eats chocolate and gains weight

Great song from a real stalwart of rock @kristine :sunglasses:
I always get the song confused with this one of the same title featuring one of my bass heroes taken from us way too soon

New Death Cab! Nick Harmer is one of my all time favorite bass players. Love his tone and tasteful playing

Bandmaid released a new vid today, somehow it doesn’t feel like them. What is Kobato up to? Been almost a year since they released something

Well, it’s her band, she’s taking it the way she wants to. She pretty clearly sees her future as pop.

Maybe she feels like it’s time for them to move on. The Girls Metal thing here is getting pretty old and well-tread at this point, and they have been doing it a long time. Also, the Maid schtick was probably old to them a long time ago.

Writing might be on the wall for Saiki too, if Kobato wants to be the pop star.

The comments thread is funny. They are eating up this very standard J-Pop as if it is the most beautiful thing they have ever heard :rofl:

I really like Misa’s bass work there though. You get the feeling this might be refreshing for her as well. And Akane singing too.

The thing that makes this an odd move overall is that they kind of had a niche to rule in metal. They were some of the big fish in that pond. If Kobato is going pop, she’s got a lot more competition.

Apparently these are the new heavy metal Spice Girls

I wonder a bit.

Maybe there’s more money to be made in a big Jpop sea than a small girls metal pond.

Maybe Bandmaid has peaked.

What I really like about this song is it’s stretching out past the norms of Bandmaid. The knock I give them, and why I don’t listen to them as much as I used to, is they have a formula for songs they really don’t stray from. And while well done they were sounding much the same to me. Here they are doing something completely different.

Good to hear Akane sing, and Misa killed it on bass.

Silly song

Like it though

Descendents are awesome. They made it cool for punk bands to write love songs. Well, they and Husker Du.

I posted this one before in the other thread:

that song is actually an awesome counterpoint to Liz Phair’s “Fuck and Run”.

To append to a discussion in another thread, one of my sisters is a doctor, and I remember when whe was in med school doing rotations, her instructer told her she would make a good doctor if only she werent a girl. She was devestated, and still bothers me to this day.

This is a pandemic concert, they were told to dial back stage effects, and they couldn’t open a pit. Sore isn’t translated as it has no intrinsic meaning in this context. (kon is the sound a fox makes)

The opening tritones come from a melody that dates back to the Edo period and is much reverred.

Anyway, Babymetal’s pointed commentary on womanhood

it’s actually me playing the bass in this song :smiling_face:
