discussion Who is your favourite artist that has less than 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify etc?

177 Upvotes

While monthly listeners means nothing when it comes to music quality, it is a good indicator on how popular an artist is within the current climate/generation.

Who do you regularly listen to who has less than 1 million monthly listeners?

I’ll go first - The Chameleons with barely 200k monthly listens.

I want everyone’s opinion on this song it is burned into my brain.

(Edit Now Ein Jahr (es gent voran) by Fehlfarben is getting stuck in my head. Apparently my brain likes German pop music from the 80’s and 90’s)

discussion Tipping the merch table?

Upvotes

I saw Weezer the other day, and bought a shirt. At checkout, I was prompted to tip. I've noticed this at the last few concerts I've been to too(as well as happening at other places I would normally not tip). Am I now supposed to tip the merch table on a $40-$60 shirt?

Is that money going to the cashier or is Live Nation/Ticketmaster taking a cut of that too?

discussion Foo Fighters newest album “But Here We Are” has been out almost a week and it might actually be their best work in years

373 Upvotes

I appreciate the sentiment about Foo Fighters, they’ve got some classics but since Wasting Light it’s felt like they were spinning their wheels a little bit and lost a lot of the feel good replay value that their biggest hits and biggest albums had.

As a self confessed and massive fan, I can’t remember giving any of their albums a second listen since WL.

However, “But Here We Are” has me in a choke hold. It’s so different and so much more powerful than what I expected and I’ve been gutted not to hear much buzz about it on here. The singles released so far did good work to leave you unprepared for the emotions this one hits.

It’s their first album in years that felt like it had a purpose and had something to say and it’s a shame what they had to lose to make this happen. It’s cathartic and really resonates with me as someone who has suffered grief back to back like Dave Grohl has.

I’ve had it on repeat all week and I’m just happy to hear that my favourite band still have it 30 something years later.

Would love to hear other people’s thoughts

discussion Very swingy drummy jazzy ambient stuff...

9 Upvotes

Hi, I love the artist 'Medasin's' new album "Always in a hurry'. In particular the titular track. I love this kind of music whenever I hear it but don't know what to look for when looking for more. Any recommendations. I like spacey, ambient stuff often but also love percussion focussed stuff. Usually songs with minimal lyrics. Not so much typical drum and bass stuff as usually doesn't appeal to me so much but I'll try whatever. Just had 'Always in a Hurry' kick in with the coffee at the gym and turned a panic attack into a new PR.

Any suggestions for stuff for me to try out, thanks in advance :)

(Also apologies as I don't have very good music terminology haha)

music streaming Does anyone actually like live songs on albums?

5 Upvotes

I just don’t get it. Apple Music recently came out with a “deluxe” version of Elephant by The White Stripes. The only difference is they added 27 live songs.

I like listening to music by playing an album on repeat while I do other things. I don’t want to have to hear slightly worse versions of the songs with applause breaks in between. I don’t get who would ever want this.

Edit: I should have thought more on how to word this.

live music = good no one is disagreeing with that sentiment. when i say “slightly worse versions” i mean the audio quality itself, not the actual performance. my bad - it was stupid to phrase it like that.

Edit2: This is NOT about the validity of live music. This is about the stark difference between live and studio songs. Both are great, but they should be on different album/disk/whatever.
