maryjanewhatsername Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Spent most of my work day listening to RevRad and 21CB. Still two of my fav albums and I'm hoping FOAMF has some 21CB elements to it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I finally watched some Longshot and Coverups stuff and here are two things I want to say: Billie reached peak goofiness at this show Secondly, I'm not an expert on how singing is supposed to sound, but whoever was doing the falsettos/backing vocals in Longshot (I think it's Jeff who I hear) didn't sound good at all imo. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Jeff is quite often really off key. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Sorry I didn't want to bring him up but the realization that my pitchy wailing along choruses counts as backing vocals good enough to play in a band with bja hits me hard. I can still make it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted October 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2019 I've only just realised Billie says "that was pretty tasty" after Sex, Drugs & Violence on Demolicious. Also I didn't notice Jeff's vocals live but they ruin most videos from this show Glad I watched it tho because I get way too excited about spotting myself in the crowd and my smiling face is lurking 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ANTI Posted October 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but i'm just gonna write it cause I need to get it out of my system. If you guys haven't heard, Chile has been in a full blown out chaos since Friday. It started out as a student's manifestation because of the raise of metro fare prices and in a matter of hours, it escalated into police brutality over the evasions, protests and riots all over the country over the social inequality of our socio-economical system and a declaration of state of emergency with military police on the streets and curfew time, which we haven't seen since the dictatorship in 1973-1990. Over the last days, I've been a part of the manifestations and it has been so horrible living the military repression that was taught to me in school and that my parents feared during the Pinochet years, especially because Chile has always been hailed as one of the most stable countries in Latin America and just 5 days ago, the president referred to our country as an "oasis in a convoluted continent" (goes to show you how thin the veil of democracy is). But underneath all that, there has been years of social discontent, class disparity, institutional distrust and political inefficacy that's been brewing inside of us that just exploded, without any kind of civic organization or political agenda, just everyday people going out in the streets because we had enough. During this last days, I've tried to listen to many of the albums that usually comfort me when I'm in this kind of mood; Parquet Courts' "Wide Awake", IDLES' "Joy as an Act of Ressistance", even American Idiot didn't work, but then I put on Revolution Radio and it just clicked. While I've never been a RR hater, I did criticize it at the moment for not being topical enough. I wondered why Billie didn't write Say Goodbye more explicitly about the BLM movement, or why Revolution Radio and Troubled Times sounded so lyrically empty. And it's just so funny how this three songs have been the only ones that have comforted me during this past week, and what I thought was just buzzwords took life on its own while I ran away from teargas and the police. I thank them for this now, because now I realize that repression isn't about a particular subject, it's a global issue that shares a common language that they expressed perfectly in this songs, and that the revolution against the establishment isn't always contingent, perfectly articulated or even rational, like it's usually romanticized in the dystopian movies. I used to say that those songs were a "fuck you just because", but damn if I don't feel like that after watching my family, friends and everyone surrounding me being screwed over for decades. So yeah, this one goes out to Revolution Radio, thank you for being the anthem that I needed for this moment in my life, because even though I'm scared shitless about history repeating itself, I'm also hopeful because I still see the spark in my people and I know that this has just begun. In any other time, I might have put it off another day, but not today. 6 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
