Another Swedish artist I like. You might have heard of them. My favorite track by them.
2 more goals from Colombo and I transfer him. GG E, close one, and thanks yet again for simming boss man.
Could have used the 3 points, but I’ll take another point. GG PP and thanks again for simming Z.
I’ll take the point. GG Santi and thanks for simming Z.
This is crazy! Third game in two rounds that I get a player sent off and lose that game despite the man advantage! Explain that to me cause I don’t get it!
GG Santi! Thanks for simming Z! Obviously not blaming you for anythingSo you’re saying your player simulated and got the opposition player sent off?!? 😉 If you can guarantee me I’ll be up against 10 men every match I’ll give you 10 goal Haaland. 🙂
I suppose I have to go with Father John Misty today.
Before there was Father John Misty there was J Tillman. Don’t get me wrong, I like me some Father John Misty, but this track is as good as anything he did after. Throwing a live version in considering some of the unique sounds and how they’re arrived at.
If you were to go back 20 years I’d tell you Radiohead was one of my 5 favorite bands. Not anymore, but I still like them quite a bit (apart from that entire first album). Big catalog to choose from, but I suppose this is my favorite all these years later.
I need to listen to more of The Jam, but this was my first taste back in college and it stuck with me along with a few of their other hits.
I got a kick out of the smiths because of the crazy lyrics. “Did they really just sing that?” It wasn’t johnny rotten or joe strummer. It was this guy with a soft voice not yelling through the loud guitar and drums.
Yeah, it’s funny because so many people who only know a track or two think they’re depressing or sad, but in actuality they can really be quite funny.
That whole bit I wrote about The Smiths brought me to straight to… Belle and Sebastian. A different record store from my college days, which was a somewhat famous record store after one of the blokes from Pearl Jam wore their tee on stage back then, had new vinyl. That’s where I bought the Radiohead LPs and other things, including EPs on vinyl and even imported CDs. Always fun spending the little I had there. Got to know some of guys who worked there and Belle and Sebastian was a recommendation. The 3,6,9 Seconds of Light EP was my first taste. Much like The Smiths, and surely inspired by them, they had great album art and I’d be lying if it didn’t pull me in initially. First track is from that EP and somewhat emblematic of their sound and lyrics. Second track is something more recent and shows an evolution of their sound a bit. Almost like they were doing that semi-electronic sound without going electronic. Love the trumpet at the end. I say this about a lot of artists I like, but helluva a catalog they’ve built up over the years. Oh, and how could I leave out the last one.
Easily a top 3-5 artist/band for me, The Smiths. One of plenty of bands I could have listened to in High School, but didn’t discover until college. Great thing that occurred simultaneously is that I started buying vinyl records. A lot of them were current artists at the time, like 90s Radiohead (which are now probably 10x what I paid for them), but some were older. I was always a stickler for condition, but one of the record stores had a huge Smiths selection as if someone had ditched their collection. I didn’t buy them all much less in one sitting, but bought a lot of them including some imports and 12” singles. Getting to the point, what’s great is that their album covers were those great old black and white photographs that were then overlayed with some color. They just look so cool. Anyway, the music itself is great if you ask me.
That defense just couldn’t last this week. GG buddy and thanks for simming yet again big boss.
Damn. Looks like we dropped the ball based on that xG. GG Ramer and thanks again for simming Z.
