Music talk Thread

Does Taylor have any new songs on this album about how she doesn’t care at all about haters? I’m just 10-15 more of these songs away from believing her.

In less ‘music is one person and she’s dating a tight end’ news, Neil Young is back on Spotify.

I don't know but I can tell you the Kelce breakout album might tilt the earth's axis.

I'm going to be forced to listen to this new Taylor Swift album (all fifteen seeming hours of it) for the rest of my natural life.

I want you to know I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to.

In honor of our bard, we should only converse in vague metaphors and tortured cliches.

You're right...

If you can't change your attitude, at least change your underwear.

Guys, just have your wife start the car the next couple weeks. Talking bad about Taylor online is deadly.

Steve Albini, a leading light of indie-rock’s sound and morality as frontman of Big Black and Shellac and recording engineer for Nirvana, PJ Harvey and many other artists, has died at the age 61. The news was confirmed to Variety on Wednesday by Taylor Hales, who works at Albini’s Chicago recording studio, Electronic Audio; the cause of death was a heart attack.

Albini first rose to acclaim in the early 1980s as the frontman for Big Black, the Chicago-based trio known for aggressive guitar-based rock that worked with a drum machine rather than a live drummer, a rarity for the time. Yet he was also well known for his equally aggressive criticism of musicians and others who he felt were in it for money or popularity rather than the music — and he walked it like he talked it. He reviled the term “producer,” even if that’s arguably what he did on many recordings, and insisted on a “Recorded by Steve Albini” credit. He also refused to take any “points” — i.e. royalties, a common financial bonus for most top producers — from the recordings he worked on.

His at-times iconoclastic stance — and his galvanizing work on the Pixies’ landmark 1988 album “Surfer Rosa” — endeared him to Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, who insisted that the band work with Albini on its second major label album, 1993’s “In Utero,” to the chagrin of their label, which was hoping for another speaker-shattering blockbuster similar to the group’s breakthrough, “Nevermind.” (“In Utero” was plenty loud, but not in the radio-friendly way they’d been angling for.) Around the same time, Albini also recorded PJ Harvey’s sophomore effort “Rid of Me,” which had a similarly aggressive sound.

I've seen a lot of great shows but the most affecting thing I've ever seen live was Arcade Fire in 2005 at the Chicago Theatre, particularly In The Backseat, when she starts in on the Alice dies part, I don't know, it's hard to articulate and recordings don't do it justice.

was just saying that living in nashville, i had the privilege of seeing many great shows, prolly hundreds, and the arcade fire show i saw at bridgestone arena (least favorite venue) was the best concert experience ive ever had.

i might have even said it here that it felt like a religious experience lol

and i might not even have them in my top 3 favorite bands
