What are you listening to II: Electric Bogaloo

[GasBandit]

 

[PatrThom]

Points for including Saxquatch.

[Ravenpoe]

Look, I'm old. If it was made in the past 10 years, it's current music to me.









Ok that last one is more than a decade old, I don't care it's a classic.

 

[Dave]

Another group suggested by YouTube and these guys are GREAT!

 

[Dave]

Which has now lead me to Michael Kiwanuka. I should be in bed but I'm just sitting at my computer listening to music that is new to me that is just amazingly good.

 

[GasBandit]

 

[PatrThom]

Now THAT'S devotion.

THEY RECREATED THE ORIGINAL VIDEO!!

 

[GasBandit]

I do not regret sending Dave down this otomatone rabbit hole

 

[PatrThom]

These are amazing, but what really sold it for me (even more than the Otomatone 4:33 cover) was this one:



Still wondering why they haven't done any Otometallica covers.

Probably because everybody's over Metallica now after decades of Lars being a dick and James just standing behind him saying "Yeah!"

 

[Dave]

I love these things way too much and I think this one is the pinnacle.

 

[PatrThom]

Kept waiting for Stevie Wonder to show up.

[GasBandit]

You guys might remember these guys from the "it's fuckin wimdy" song, "Pump It Better"

[Shakey]

Stumbled in to this guy on YouTube somehow, and I can’t stop listening to his stuff.

 

[Ravenpoe]

Every time I try to find this thread, I'm reminded that it is in general instead of media for some unknown reason...

Anyway, the king of mashups has made another masterpiece.

 

[PatrThom]

Haven’t heard anything from him for a while, and now I guess I know why. There’s a lot of laminating going on in there.

Not to mention the entirely new vocals that were recorded to join the chorus.

 

[PatrThom]

He's been doing that a lot more, adding "glue" to laminate disparate songs together. He does great work.
My single biggest concern with him is that he's going to end up in the milkshake duck thread someday.

Or pull a Joe Jeremiah and just burn out and vanish. But MDuckery would def be worse.

 

[PatrThom]

A couple of days ago, discovered this song exists:



How can a song written FIFTY YEARS AGO still sound like it was written about stuff that happened only yesterday? (This is a rhetorical question, BTW)

—Patrick

 

[Ravenpoe]

 

[PatrThom]

Someone at work suggested I listen to this because they absolutely love it.


(HARDY - "Truck Bed")

Ok I did. I probably won't do so again.
I didn't tell them that, of course. But I did tell them that the musical part of it strongly reminded me of this:


(New Order - "Blue Monday")

--Patrick

 

[Ravenpoe]

I'll admit for a long time I didn't really -get- Oliver Tree, his is a genre of music I don't typically listen to, but it's growing on me.

 

[Ravenpoe]

I made a Tom Waits reference at work today and no one knew who he was.

I then realized I was the oldest person in the room, and crumbled away into dust.

But who cares, because Tom Waits fucking rules.

 

[Ravenpoe]

Alright, one more. This one is inspired by a marine, Jeff "Luce" Lucey, who committed suicide after returning from the Iraq war. It's pretty heavy.

 

[PatrThom]

Tom already earned a permanent spot on my list with “Step Right Up.”

—Patrick

 

[GasBandit]

I think I posted the Cookie monster version of both of those songs around here at some point.

 

[Tinwhistler]

I didn't even know he did music. I mostly know him from Mystery Men

He has a great section in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs as a prospector
