Hey all,

Came across this while doing a deep dive. The old live in-studio stream during the making of Curve. Very curious about some of the demos and unreleased stuff from that era.

Now he’s taking shots at Arnold Lanni. Dude just seems so damn resentful. He tells fans not to get so worked up over his comments, but he seems damn set on ruining the image people have of the band. For what I gathered, the group was fairly like a band of brothers early on, and even Jeremy was ...

Pretty sure you're joking, but if not, I think you might've mixed up the order of the letters!

I hope that someday he and Raine can make amends and be friends again. I don't know the story from both sides, and probably never will. I think it can be handled better, but that's not my cross to carry, or any of the rest of us.

I get where you're coming from, but my take on this is that the ...

So Jeremy went on another tirade on Twitter last night.

The whole tread is laced with cringey replies of Jeremy stating his feed is his "reality" but also being super vauge and criptic with his responses when people ask him directly ...

Moved to correct forum.

Nine Inch Nails, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Buckley, Matthew Good, Billy Joe Shaver, Linkin Park would probably rank up in my top 10. Really enjoy Nothing But Thieves as well. Guilty pleasure? Easily Kelly Clarkson, haha.

Oh shoot, thought I was in Throw Away the Radio when I ...

Just curious how many other posters here are also fans of The New Pornographers?

And any other all time faves from other posters since there's not a ton of news currently.

My top 3, in no particular order because it's impossible to rank them:
The New Pornographers
Wilco
and of course OLP ...

I had to unfollow him. Just can't take the nastiness anymore.

He really comes across as a bipolar/alcoholic type, very narcissistic (and yes, I'm sure a lot of famous musicians are), and he just can't let things go. Very bitter.

For a guy whose career was made by a couple older musicians giving ...

Olive branch or more bitterness?

I'd assume more bitterness. I used to like Jeremy, but after so many years of him doing stuff so publicly it just makes me think he's a conflict-seeking person with an affinity for attention-whoring ...

Although, I've heard many people say over the years that his previous falsetto was harmful and likely painful to his vocal cords--as a person who can sing in a similar falsetto range myself, I can attest to the fact that it is not painful and is actually easier on the vocal cords than most forms ...

I listened to HIPT in full and then went straight to Burn, Burn, and the degree to which Raine's singing style changed and voice deepened between those albums is very noticeable. I wonder if this was intentional, an effect of taking so much time off between albums, or just a natural effect of aging ...

HIPT is the first album that Raine started singing from the gut (technically, the more "correct" way of singing) instead of from the lungs. Which in my opinion was an unfortunate change because it caused him to get rid of his gritty, post-grunge style of singing. It also caused him to knock down his ...

I've not really payed attention to Twitter at all in years, but the tweet about how his drum parts can't possibly be that hard sound more like he's annoyed at the fans who say they miss him being with the band, and not necessarily a jab at Jason. The other tweets posted above are pretty tactless ...

Guy is so salty... he’s such a crybaby.

https://twitter.com/taggart7/status/985145774408286208?s=21

Yeah, he's obviously a classless asshole. Guess he's showing his true colors now, and he's obviously forgotten how he got famous in the first place.

Clearly, he's got some mental issues on some ...

If OLP doesn't release 'Let Me Live Again' as a single, they're nuts. That song is incredible. The whole album has different structures I'm not used to hearing from them.

I agree, but OLP has a rich post-SM history of choosing bad singles. They seem to put way too much emphasis on writing the ...

I'm really digging Somethingness as well. In addition to some of the new directions on the album, there is quite a bit of variety of musical style. Folksy, a couple of good rockers, some funky beats, a little synth in a couple of songs like "Head Down" (a very pleasant surprise because it's ...

blueseeka wrote:Is there a link for it? Did they mention any songs?

It's archived on their Facebook fan page in two parts. They play some new stuff with some different sounds from what I've heard.

I somewhat agree on Raine's voice but I don't think it's THAT different than it's been in the past decade or so. Not bad but there are definitely moments he sounds tone deaf-ish lol.

Just finished listening though. Drop Me in the Water still doesn't really do anything for me. Hiding Place for ...
