What the Hell are you Listening to (2024)?
Might as well make a new one for this year.
I'll start with a group I am going to see next month and pumped for it.

Just got home from seeing Vandenberg & Geoff Tate.
Quite solid, AV is still a guitar god, Tate was surprisingly good tbh. Best of all to me maybe? Both seemed ... happy. Considering there were maybe 200 people in attendance, made me feel better to see no sign of disappointment or anything other than they looked happy to be playing ... period.

Tate is definitely a douchenozzle. He's like the prog metal version of Dennis DeYoung. Undeniable talent though.

Grandaddy.
It’s their first since like 2006. Bassist dies a bit ago. Jason Lytle didn’t want to continue at that point. But they/he are coming back. Not sure what to describe them as. Lofi brilliant? Bits and pieces and a shit ton of heart.

I'll admit to being a huge Judas Priest fan going back 40 years to my pre- and early teens, but I'll be damned if the new album isn't some of the best stuff they've done in decades. The last album was really good but this one's better - 50 years after the release of their first album.
Nothing groundbreaking, just some damn good metal. I'll be seeing them in May in Atlanta with a couple of high school friends. I last saw them around 1990 or so with Megadeth and Testament. I definitely want to see Halford at least one more time. Hard to believe that dude is only a few years younger than parents.

KK's Priest was a solid set, if a bit heavy on early Judas Priest material. Despite that (which suited the pretty good crowd just fine best I could tell) my neck is a little sore today, most legit headbanging set I've seen anyone do in a long time.
More surprised by how solid LA Guns were tbh. Phil Lewis is 67 and probably sounds as good as he's ever sounded.

I prefer the version they did with Alissa White-Gluz, seems more appropriate with a female singer

Anyone here listen on vinyl? Final got around to getting a somewhat real turntable and speakers. It really does feel warmer. And having to get up every 20 minutes or so makes the music feel more engaging. 90% of my "collection" are Goodwill dumpster dives, but I've still found some albums I've always liked. Like listening to Chicago Transit Authority, even a copy I literally paid a dime for, sounds more enjoyable than streaming it losslessly from Apple.
Also, cleaning records really does make a huge difference. As a kid I just assumed everything had pops and cracks every second or 2. It's because my dad played the shit out of his records on bargain turntables without ever cleaning them. |

You do you, by all means. For me, I can't think of anything with less appeal than doing that. From an equipment standpoint, from a storage standpoint, from an irritation & aggravation standpoint, from a price/selection standpoint, that's about as big a nope combo meal as I could come up with.

I agree. And then throw in that I sold/gave away probably 1000 vinyl, 2000 cassette, still have a wall and a half of CD... I'm good with MP3s. 98% of my listening is done in the car anyway.

Dolly says she likes Beyonce's version. I will defer to the Queen. Edit: That is the official lyric video, not the official video. Last edited by GrantDawg : 03-29-2024 at 02:54 PM. |

Lots of good British albums recently (Creeper, Lathums, Last Dinner Party, etc) but stand out is Yard Act’s second album Where’s My Utopia… A mix of great music, lyrics and wry wit

My daughter stayed up for the new Taylor Swift release since she doesn't have school tomorrow... This also marks the 8th time in the last 10 weeks she hasn't had school on Friday.

Dola, and so I stay relevant and am able to embarrass said daughter, I listened to all 31 tracks of the new album. The main album is basically Midnights 2.0 filtered through her Folklore/Evermore era. The extra album is basically her Folklore/Evermore era with a splash of Midnights. While it all sounds samesy, even for a Taylor Swift album, the second set is much stronger. This isn't an album with a natural hit and doesn't really have anything that could be considered upbeat.

Got tickets to Smashing Pumpkins and another set to Weezer. Supposedly Weezer will play the Blue Album straight through so I'll probably leave after that. I'm not sure I've intentionally heard a Pumpkins song since Mellon Collie, so not looking forward to a concert of more recent stuff. But Live Nation is doing a $25 ticket sale, so for $100 all in my wife and I get to go to 2 concerts that would normally cost at leave twice as much.

Weezer is fabulous live. Really fun.
We are seeing Smashing Pumpkins with Rancid and Green Day this summer. Just saw The Interrupters and SUM 41 the other night. The Interrupters are always fantastic live. Sum 41 had tons of energy I'm driving 2.5 hours and staying overnight in a couple weeks to go see Frank Turner. Really looking forward to that one as he is amazing live and it's in a smaller setting. |
