Swervedriver Rave Down Day Thread of 1/10

January 10, 2023January 10, 2023 guymontagweb

Swervedriver is a band from Oxford England formed in 1989. Although often lumped in with the shoegaze movement of the time, they were much more raucous and rock oriented than their contemporaries. A reductive description would be “British Dinosaur Jr” … Continue reading Swervedriver Rave Down Day Thread of 1/10

April 15, 2020 guymontagweb

We used to do this fairly regularly, but it’s been a while. Inspired by a dumb mistake I made in the day thread. It’s pretty easy;  just mash together 2 or more things into a new, totally awesome thing. Raging … Continue reading Mash up 2 (or more) movies/songs/bands

December 9, 2019December 9, 2019 guymontagweb

This is a fun topic I’ve been sitting on for a while. Name 2 or more songs by different artists that refer to the same thing.

Music Game: Identify the Song by the Non-Musical Elements

March 14, 2019March 14, 2019 guymontagweb

I don’t think we’ve tried this one before. Hopefully it isn’t lame. So the way it goes is you describe a part of a song by a notable part that isn’t music or lyrics/melody. For example: A specific sound or … Continue reading Music Game: Identify the Song by the Non-Musical Elements

Musical Sacred Cows and Unloved Children: Day 1/2

September 27, 2018September 27, 2018 guymontagweb

Opinions! They exist. Today is the first of a two part discussion.  Discuss a critically acclaimed artist/band that you just don’t “get”.
