Just death metal the way it should be done. Brutal. Philadelphia does it again.

I'd say 2017 has been the year of the comeback whether it be the likes of Slowdive, integrity, or the many genre supergroup. It's been a great year for hip hop too. Finally some classic albums but again more often than not released by scene veterans…Perestroika anyone? Apathy and O.C killed it.

didn't know where else to put this but since it's technically music I dropped it here. I watch a lot of cartoons with my son and Teen Titans Go! is one of those cartoons that appeals to me because of the adult humour. If you like Sponge Bob Square Pants then you'll probably like Teen Titans Go!. Good for a lot of laughs if fart jokes are your thing. The Cool School bit is too funny.

Slowdive's album is one of my favourites this year
@alex it's like they had never had that 23 year hiatus.
Definitely. I am kicking myself for not seeing them when they came to Boston last month.

One of my fav 2017 releases together with WITTR, Mastodon, Clandestine Blaze, new Paysage D Hiver Track (Schnee 4)… -
I liked them between 1967-1970. Actually saw their first show in NYC. It was billed as a battle of the bands,Greenwich Village vs Haight Ashbury. It was in The Village Theatre which would,later, become The Fillmore East.
That's really great! I'm a bit younger and probably would have been just barely old enough to catch some of their last shows, but a big fan just the same.

I saw them at the Camden Roundhouse London on Halloween. I did actually well up. They were incredible

That said, my most disappointing gig was Sun Kil Moon at the Shepherds Bush Empire. I love all of Mark's work but he lost the plot and it turned in to a self indulgent cringefest

I was sooo upset when my parents wouldn't let 16-year old me go to a Dead show in 1995. It was a month before Jerry died, too.
Major bummer! The music still lives on though, both in past recordings and current tours with new members.
