Super hyped for The Ocean on Wednesday. Been listening to them today, still blown away by the final three tracks on their to date second to last album Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic:
Miocene | Pliocene:
Pleistocene:
Holocene:
Such an amazing way to end an incredible album

Every so often I go down a weird outsider music rabbit hole, which always ends with me listening to the Shaggs in a very confused state... I love the story behind them. I find music made in this way to be pretty psychedelic and pure. Has a way of opening up my mind/ears to different sorts of pathways when myself playing music.
Anyone else got any weirdo music recommendations?

@TENDREL as far as reasonably accessible "weird"I enjoy joe meek, bruce haak and mort garson
Jandek has some palatable moments as well

Maybe it's a generational thing? Kind of like the soundtrack to your life, if you know what I mean? I never understood the hype around Nirvana, for example. Not a horrible band by any stretch of the imagination, but out of the big Seattle grunge bands they are the least impressive imo. Then again, I'm on the cusp age-wise for grunge, so it never played that big a part in my musical upbringing. Oasis on the other hand were very present in the mid to late 90ies, so exposure to them was much greater. Plus, I do like a few of their songs, sorry @endo (well, not really sorry, but I'm killing your joke here)

@Tago-Mago I wasn't really aware of/in to Nirvana until after Kurt Cobain had died. I ended up thinking it's insane how good they were,and how fucking brilliant Kurt Cobain was. In my opinion,up there with all the greats who died way to young/at 27.

I’m calling out for a deep and meaningful music conversation late on Saturday evening, when we’ve all had too much ‘enjoyment’ for the day.

I grew up in my early teens listening to a mix of nirvana grunge and early rave / house music
When oasis came around along with blur to a point it was almost a revelation to the most part young people in the uk, even when we already had the stone roses,suede the inspiral carpets, ocean colour scene, charlatans, happy Mondays, blue tones etc etc
They really did hit the mark with their attitude and relatability to the people of the time, it wasn’t grunge it wasn’t dance and it wasn’t r&b/hip hop
Apart from some songs I really think Noel is one of the best song writers of the generation and even more so since he started high flying birds
( half the world away, if I had a gun, dead in the water being some of the notable ones)
Sort not sorry for my appreciation of them
Although I would say an olive grove facing the sea by snow patrol is one of my favourites of all timeMods may need this to the music thread but may already be knee deep in denim flannels and gosport to do it
