I thought it was great to be straight!

never heard this before, it's ok but one of those tunes with a beat but no real hook. kept waiting waiting for it to kick in, maybe I'm lacking the context or proper nostalgia.

 

[luka]

the whole vocal is a hook.

 

[Leo]

weak sauce, I think the heatwave has dulled your senses.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Been rinsing this on my MP3 player the last few days. Properly haunting.

certain things americans will just never understand. same as we will never
grasp the meaning of lynard skynard.

At Night is Switzerland's defining contribution to global culture, along with chocolate and Federer.

 

[Leo]

listened to it for a second time and it clicked a little more, think maybe I was originally distracted by the video. mea culpa.

RE: skynyrd, most Americans don't get it either. the undying sound of rebel-flag waving southern rebellion, still holding a civil war grudge against effeminate northern elites. I'd imagine you have equivalent shitkickin' good ol' boys over there, and guessing their music of choice is crap as well.

 

[CrowleyHead]

"Gimme Back My Bullets" and "Simple Man" are jams in any part of the States.

 

[Leo]

yeah, was being a bit facetious, "free bird" will live forever. i actually like "gimme three steps", truth be told.

the dystopian culmination and auto-destruction of dance music culture.

 

[Leo]

there's actually some debate in the YT comments and on FB, some claiming he's taking the piss. seems unlikely but masterful if so.

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

on the ultimate perfect 3-note bassline postpunk tunes shortlist (Bela Lugosi's Dead, Eisbar, etc)

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

also on Lynyrd Skynyrd, you gotta distinguish between pre and post-plane crash. two completely different things.

pre-crash is one of the great American classic rock bands of the 70s.

the American Zep. plus they had a bit of Muscle Shoals vibe. plus Ronnie Van Zant was a dude.

(and just like Zep you'd never wanna listen to a whole LP straight thru, but you could make a killer mixtape of their best jams)

I mean come on


post-crash, well, it is what it is

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

I'd take them over the Allmans all day every day, too. Allmans are the secondary forefathers of jam bands and jam band culture, after the Dead.

having said that, tbf Duane Allman was a fucking absolute wizard.

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

the solo in Free Bird is on my all-time list with Maggot Brain, Marquee Moon, and the like

tho I know yall rave dads around here are mostly a bunch of guitar dude haters unless it's weird or funky, or both like Can or whatever, so ymmv

also separate note, Artimus Pyle is one of the greatest rock names ever
