I tell my kids this all the time with their band, the right time/place/post/meet/listener whatever it is, and lightning can strike in a bottle. I witnessed this band along with everyone else on X just kind of "blow up" because a quick live performance video was shared that was fun and engaging and really well done. You never know when that is going to happen, so you need to keep ensuring that you're there for when it does.
Congratulations to @otnr2gng

Step into my attic, it’s like a museum of really good boxes from the last 4 decades.
One thing no one mentions about being an adult is how much time you debate over keeping a cardboard box because it's a really good box.

Fascinated by this absolutely benign, pedestrian, simplistic interview with an "up and coming band" touring London.
"Where'd you get that banana?"

Well stated, from an insider.
This guy is getting dragged for this comment. But he has a point. Something I tell my @universityofga students all the time. When I started touring clubs, putting records in stores and visiting radio stations I wasn't competing with bands from the last 40 years. But my students playing americana-ish stuff are literally competing with me for slots on festivals like @andbeyondfest. Look I'm not complaining. But it's a real phenomenon. Has something to do with the fact Gen X is willing to spend money going out to shows, so their tastes get catered to. Also 40 years ago, records went out of print, radio only had so many slots for airplay, and record stores only had so much rack space. "Infinite shelves" means you're competing with hits from the past, and past hits are lower risk than new stuff.

SURE, this sounds like the noodling of 1000 other young guitarists in their first little emo rock band,
BUT, she's a huge star and she is willing to keep branching out and picking up new things while under the scrutiny of a bazillion people, half of whom will cheer on anything she does, and half of whom are looking for any flaw to point out.
I say "good on her, keep it going".

Absolute God-tier music video.
The legendary video for 'Sabotage' was directed by Spike Jonze and shot in Los Angeles on a very low budget in guerrilla style. The Beastie Boys dressed up as tough cops of the '70s, parodying shows like Starsky & Hutch and Baretta. The car chase was almost entirely improvised, with the band doing their own stunt driving.
Released in 1994 on the album Ill Communication, the song and video became one of the biggest icons of the 90s: It was nominated for 5 VMAs and is still considered one of the best and most influential in MTV history.

where is this Apple Music festival and why am I seeing so many crazy good unknown young bands being showcased here?? I feel like this is organic discovery of talent, something that has been missing from music showcasing for the last two decades. I am overjoyed.

I don't like to gatekeep, but....I would put some real effort into keeping these fellows on the other side of any swinging iron obstruction with a latch that I'm standing at. This just feels like the ultimate in performative schlock.
Good for them, though, somehow getting to a big stage with lots of people watching them. Can't hate on that.

dunno about #3, but the first two are MUSTS
🚙🎶 touring bands i will periodically tweet this until the earth is absorbed into the sun
1. Buy insurance for your gear. It’s cheaper than you think
2. Never leave gear unattended in the van ever
3. Cemeteries are free, safe places to chill while waiting for load-in, hotel, etc

Congratulations to the next generation Hobo Johnsons capitalizing on the zombie-dead masses who now only go to concerts to out-sing the performer.
I am not bitter or angry, its a big market niche so kudos to them for taking it on. I just dislike it (the audience, primarily).
Malcolm Todd’s North American ‘Do That Again’ Tour quickly sold out after going on sale over the summer, and he’s up for Best New Artist at this weekend’s VMAs. You might’ve also seen him covering Robyn and dancing with Inde Navarrette in a recent Gap commercial. Last night, the 23-year-old LA musician (and brother of fellow rising indie-pop star Audrey Hobert) played the first of two shows at Radio City Music Hall and closed with “Roommates,” his breakout hit from 2023.

well, shit, this guy is legit killing it with music recommendations. Almost every response to a request I read I am thinking "oh, wow, good choice, I totally forgot about that song!" I hope its all from his head, that would be amazing.
Let's play stump the music nerd! You give me a song you love from any artist, era, or genre, and I will find you a similar song you have never heard before that you will love.

Amazing piece of writing here, truly. Spend your Sunday morning drinking in the 80s, but not in the cheesy way so many reflect on the 80s. This is really, really well-done, and compels me, today, to rewatch this classic.
Cheers to @MatthewModine for posting this out.
Great piece on VISION QUEST and what makes it so special.
