Roller skating in the 80’s looks like fun.
Can you just take a musician and add “The ___s” to get your band name ? (at the very least it should be illegal to do this to a 90s musician if you’re going to do retro 80s stuff)
Relatedly the below is my most listened to song ever (if the guitar kicking in at :43 is not giving you chills you might not be listening loud enough)
Swedish power metal
They sing quite a lot of historical songs related to war. Kinda weird to sing a song about a German battleship but it sounds good.
For people that are into top tier songwriting this new album of Leonard Cohen covers is just fantastic. Consider this one.
New THE 1975 album out now
“I have never been more stuck than I was in the winter of 2008. My writing came to a grinding halt in January and for a long time this piece languished on my desk, a mess of musical fragments that refused to cohere. The following May, I saw a copy of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five and remembered one of its iconic sentences, then I had a breakthrough realization. The sentence was this: ’Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time’, and the realization was that the lack of coherence in my ideas was to be embraced and explored, not overcome. Musical fragments become unstuck in that sections from the beginning, middle and end crop up in the wrong places like the flashbacks and flash-forwards that define the narrative structure of Vonnegut’s novel.” Andrew Norman
