^^me too!. it's the moody heartfelt power pop choruses.
Severian's post was totally backwards on how I feel about those two songs. though I'm warming to My Hero. |

Oops. Sorry guys.
I know Everlong's the big favorite... I am utterly in the minority. But I barely count as even a fair weather Foos fan. I love album #1, and on TCATS I pretty much just like... well, My Hero... even though I like it a LOT and whenever I hear it fills me with adrenaline and nostalgia. The drum intro kills me. It's just an amazing song, not in an objective way, but in a way that had a lot to do with being a Nirvana fan who was frustrated that the Foo's were an entirely different creature. When I first heard that song, and to a lesser extent saw the video, I felt like the elephant in the room was finally being acknowledged. I was so disappointed by Monkeywrench and blah blah walking after you blah.. Fucking love songs and goofy videos! It was insulting! But My Hero had nothing silly about it, not even in the video (Everlong was a different story). It really felt like what I *wanted* the Foos to be. But most people agree with y'all. I'm the outsider here. No insult or criticism intended. |

I gotcha!! that double drum intro to My Hero is pretty rad. you know The Melvins wanted him for a second drummer for a long time. Dave can kick a kick drum in the ass, no doubt.
not a Foo Fighters fan at all, but a good song is a good song. it's like Korn's "freak on a leach". good pop/hard rock radio song. |

Foo fighters were always a band my inner snob said i should hate, but i only just get happy when i hear them. Just a good solid band.

meh, the Foo's are shit!! same with every other famous 90's hard rock/rap rock/alternative band.
like they tried to rock so hard but it was too hard without any thought or emotion. like, it's aggressive but doesn't have any real aggression....just to sell to kids. just what the world wanted at the time for stupid white boys. post Nirvana 90's in a nut shell. and you can include Matchbox 20 with those guys. all the same. |

I still love their first album, even though I never play it. But yeah, they're ludicrously crappy. Everybody can play and sing pretty well, and even the lyrics are alright. But they really are just an atrocious band all things considered.
Dave Grohl is like rock royalty at this point. He hangs out with Springsteen and Paul McCartney and is involved in the R&R hall of fame, and blah blah... Odd company for a dude who cut his teeth in the DC hardcore scene. |

The Residents - Duck Stab/The Gingerbread Man vids and every other Residents vid I can find. Join Mitchell Bob Dylan ... oh yeah, the first Foo album is mediocre. |

right. the area that would interest me is the relationship of music and language cadence. beasts apparently do not process music/keep beats. except for cockatoos & the such. i.e. language cadence as the origin of music. "but what about rhythm" you say. rhythm is not cadence. no need to get mystical. syl-la-bles have the beat. is that a question is that a question that is a question? that is a question aphasia = amusia? (not necessarily-- not if aphasia involves syntax but the cadence / beat areas are intact). good hypothesis. go test it. i'm retired now. say hello to gazzaniga. -- rock came from electricity then came electronics & digital maybe the next music revolution comes from neuroscience direct electrodes to the temporal gyrus who needs headphones? |

the next music revolution comes from the death of the record label. everything is likeable and nothing is old or new. fans experience live music like it should thru fandom. there will be no revolutionary new or old genres, just a constitution set in modem stone to like what you like you like without a provider. free service and music for every one because it will be controlled by the one and only...

i listened to the "is this it" strokes album yesterday-- for old time's sake.
the title track has stuck to my brain like disgusting fly paper, with its stupid singsong, and the rest i recall as a boring repetitive pile of undifferentiated nothing. see, reviewers like pitchfork praise its tales of "urban youth" or whatever teh fuck, but since i can't understand lyrics all i hear is a bunch of boring songs that all sound the same and add nothing to what already exists. if i need tales of urban youth i'll read a magazine or something. lol i remember the days when "urban youth" used to mean "hoodlums," not "brooklyn trustafarians."
