Whenever I listen to the vocal tracks of old rock music, I’m shocked at how… imperfect the voices are. Their voices are wobbly and it’s okay. There was no Auto-tune.
And the songs were still fantastic.
Discipline - When She Dreams She Dreams In Color
You could’ve heard a pin drop in the theater when they played this. INTENSE.
I can still do the dance.

Tipper - Dissolve (out)
Kickin it straight from 2000.
David Bowie - Yassassin
My jam for tonight.
Squarepusher, Webster Hall NYC, March 15 2012.
i am dead.
also what is with the silly daft punk helmet
Last Plane Out
Toy Matinee
Toy Matinee - Last Train Out
Still think this is a great piece of pop. Kevin Gilbert was so good at it.
So, we’ve kept the good old vices
And labored to invent a few
With cake in vulgar surplus
We can have it and eat it too
The hookiest. This is what all that hooky pop of the ’90s was trying to be.
As The World Falls Down
David Bowie
David Bowie // As The World Falls Down
Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention - Inca Roads
You To Thank
Ben Folds
Ben Folds - You To Thank
Ben Folds is one of my guilty pleasures— I love piano rock. The middle breakdown full of big jazzy chords makes me so happy.
And, so jealous of people who can play and sing at the same time. I’m lucky if I can remember to breathe, let alone sing.
Hit ‘em Up Style (Oops!) | Blu Cantrell
I have this album :)

People forget I think, they sometimes think that if you’re a progressive rock band you write songs about space and fantasy and hobbits and things, and… I’ve never written things about that, I’ve always written about, basically, how girls fuck me up.

Roxette - Spending My Time
Roxette is still a guilty pleasure…
(and who was talking about 80s ballads with key changes in the bridge?)
Heart - Alone
Okay, 80s power ballad spam.
Heart - These Dreams
Oh, 80s nostalgia.
