@Sponge315 agreed. An epileptic nightmare, but lovely tune. Perhaps best heard and not seen. Good old band tho

@Franko agreed, though the vid production was a bit nutty back then

Great old vid, thanks for that. Great old memories. In the early 80's I dated a girl from Athans GA, Spent time at the "40 Watt" watching REM and the B-52's back in the day.
But I must say, it sort of crushed a fantasy when Kate decided to just play on the girls team.
I know I didn't have a chance or anything but a guy could dream right?

@McFloaty okay I’ve got some new recs!

This morning I heard the song You’re a Wolf by the band Sea Wolf; I was not familiar with them before and now I’m pretty curious to listen to more! Really great Cali/Surfer/Floaty vibes. Reminded me a bit of Band of Horses (another oldie but goodie).

When I want something a little fuzzier and more psychedelic, I really like Tame Impala. They have a new album that came out Friday that’s a little dancier, which I’m still getting used to it. But their previous two, Currents and Lonerism are both fantastic.

I’ve also been digging the Taylor Jensen track What I Do...

And the song Riding Solo by Hinds feels like my personal anthem, hahaha!

wait, Band of Horses is now old? oh crap.

@Franko lol sorry, I was just thinking they haven’t put anything new out in like 4-5 years. So I guess I should have said “older but gooder.”

Franko

@a_onekatie ok, that works. i like 'em!

a_onekatie

Oh, COMPLETELY different vibe, but I’m a pretty big fan of Em’s new album, Music to be Murdered By, too.

a_onekatie

Okay two things-

First @McFloaty Real Estate have a brand new album out today!!!

Next, if anyone likes electronic music the new Caribou album, Suddenly, has some great eclectic/dreamy/floaty vibes, with some real bangers mixed in too!

McFloaty

@a_onekatie you rock. TY. On another note, but related, both Moog and Korg have free synth apps for iOS and Android, for the hunkering down and bored...

@McFloaty Excelent, except that 23 min was about 16 minutes short.

I put together a little self isolation soundtrack on AppleMusic if anyone is interested 🤪

@a_onekatie Yes! Great idea, I was thinking of doing the same and my opening track is the exact same as yours. I then thought Good Charlotte’s “The Day That I Die” Neil Young’s “Rockin in the Free World” and “Hot Girl Bummer” by Blackbear. Didn’t give too much more thought after those four tracks. I did recently purchase Mother Love Bone’s self-titled album. I remember listening to the cassette tape when I was a kid.
