Ha! WTF is "Dad-rock" anyway? I'm a dad, should I be taking offense to this?There's a bit of Dad-rock which puts me off
Anyway, on to some listening:
Hookworms "On Leaving" - It was decent enough, probably not anything I'd dig into more, worth a listen one time through though. Voice reminds me of a more pleasant Jack White, if that makes any sense.
The Amazing Snakeheads "Memories" - why is he so mad? Not really my thing, although I do like the music, just not the singing.
Aphex Twins "Minipops 67" - some electronic music, which I've been liking more and more over the past few years. I like this. Obviously I've heard of them, but haven't really dug into their music much, which is about to change. Good choice!
Modest Mouse "Lampshades On Fire" - I loved their first album, but haven't given them much of a try since then. My buddy at work just bought their new album on vinyl and swears by it. I'm digging this song...time to go to itunes and give the rest of the album a try.
The Orwells "The Righteous One" - ok, this video is a little over the top, it literally made me laugh...so if that was the point, well done. If they were trying to be serious, well, that was just silly. The music, not the singing, reminds me of a Nirvana song from the 90's, so I thought that was pretty cool...just can't get past the singing again.
