I canāt believe Iām just finding this now. Recently discovered Mateus, and just yesterday stumbled upon this. In my opinion, one of the greatest guitar pieces Iāve ever heard. Putting this on my list of things to attempt to learn for sure. Loved it so much, Iāve been telling everyone at work and home āgive this one minute of your time, pleaseā.

I have been addicted to Reel Big Fish the last couple of weeks. Iāve always loved them, ever since first seeing the video for āSell Outā back in 1996 when I was 12. Never got into any other ska-punk bands. Iāve tried, but none of them get me like RBF. Their hooks are so fucking infectious, with incredible walking bass lines in every single song, and the lyrics are often extremely dark, sarcastic, and self-deprecating which is always in start-contrast to the generally upbeat, and happy-sounding music behind them.
Their original drummer, Andrew Gonzales, is fucking amazing. Itās such a shame he quit in 1999.
Their live album, Our Live Album is Better Than Your Live Album is truly one of the best live albums Iāve heard, bootleg or official.
Anyway, here are some favorites from the first two records and live:
āSell Outā
āEverything Sucksā
āAlternative, Babyā
āSomebody Hates Meā
āDown in Flamesā
āThe Kids Donāt Like It/In the Pitā
āGood Thingā
āYour Guts (I Hate 'em)ā
āGood Thingā and āYour Guts (I Hate 'em)ā flow right into one another, so itās kind of weird theyāre not a single track like āThe Kids Donāt Like It/In the Pitā, but regardless, itās the perfect 1-2 punch: first song about being in a great place in a relationship and how quickly things turn into a terrible breakup and the aftermath (āYour Gutsā).
I know ska isnāt for everyone, but these guys are something special.

A good way to check out Caribou today for name your price money on Bandcamp. Bowls on the Album Swim is one of the test tracks I use as itās got a ton of organic texture.
Today also is a Bandcamp friday.

Great song.
I know there isnāt a lot of or any modern hip hop fans here, but this is one of the coldest diss track I ever listened to. You can really feel the emotion and hatred Kendrick really have and I think he displayed his emotion perfectly in this track. The beat and Kendrick verses really goes perfectly with each other. The phrase āthe pen is mightier than the swordā hold so true in this because I can really feel how sharp his words feel in this track and how deep it really cut. Man, Kendrick really is probably the best modern rapper of this generation.

This is music history
While there are 3 other club friendlier upbeat diss tracks from k dot, meet the grahams really does something for hip hop that hasnt been done before, both musically and stylistically in the battle rap subgenre

Emilie is a Juno award winner and has been a favorite of mine for quite a while.
Fun to see this live, club performance.
I also Really like this song done by Marilyn Scott, which has a bit different
feel and some interesting backup vocals as well.

There are very few good tribute albums, and this certainly isnāt one of them.
I had to listen to this one just based on who it features, and I have a soft spot for Iron Maiden, I think Wasted Years was one of the very first tracks I taught myself to play on electric guitar.
