What are you currently listening to?


Haven't checked in here in a while lads. Give me something new and great. I've been struggling to find great new bands lately.
 

Good lord that new Roses track is awful. Bland lyrics and a no mark guitar riff.

Not sure what I was expecting but I was hoping for more than boring, middle of the road dross from my favourite band ever.

Stambolovo - Bulgarian wedding music. Ivo is the undisputed King of the genre - he is a Roma from Thrace in Bulgaria. This is from an album that got some play back in the early 90's, when I got hip to Ivo. This is kind of (looks for a word) "westernized" and cleaned up in terms of tone and emotional distance compared to some of the rawer and more emotional live performances. These guys go for hours, people just walk up and stuff money in their clothes all while the music is going on and on and on. Quite a scene.

One of my favorite quotes is from a sax player that worked with Ivo - he was asked what it was like playing with his hero, and his answer was "it's a lot like being a rabbit chased by wild dogs..." I can understand that.



 
Those lurics on that Roses tune, absolute comedy, like a kids come up with it.

Sounds like a tribute band have had a go at trying one.

It's spectacularly bad. Not even a real attempt at a Roses track, just a generic middle of the road Britpop track.
