Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Yeah absolutely wasn’t alluding to them, more a general point. I do like the album, just ordered the CD today lol!

I’m planning to pick up the vinyl when I go to my local tomorrow! (Along with boygenius which I loved and the AOTY winner which I didn’t sadly lol)

With what The Smile is doing and what A Moon Shaped Pool was...maybe its time "Radiohead" called it a day.

This is a hot take, for sure.

I can totally agree with that. But when I listen to acts The last Dinner Party (the band that inspired the post) I don’t get any vibe that they are appropriating it. They are obviously art school kids

I read the Guardian review of the Last Dinner Party album and they mentioned that the “industry plant” stuff is almost a complement in how advanced and developed their sound is but they point to “Covid years” where the band was essentially able to “woodshed” their sound for a couple years prior and then when they posted a live show on YouTube the band became major label bidding war fodder.

The Last Dinner Party: Prelude to Ecstasy review – the year’s most hyped band totally deliver

The five-piece ground their Sparks-like tendency towards excess and musical theatre with consistently well-written songs primed for festival singalongs

I enjoyed AMSP way more than anything The Smile has done. That being said, I am fine with “Radiohead” (why the quotations?) calling it a day. They have an excellent catalog of music and if they feel like that chapter is done for them than so be it.

Quotation because, in a media vacuum, just hearing the music my immediate take would be - "Oh, new Radiohead."

Adding Tom Skinner changes the equation for me.

If they could fold Colin in (who it think is a severely underrated when discussing Radiohead) I'd probably pull that "maybe" out the take.

Yep and with them appearing to remain on good terms why bother? Leave the options open. Looking at how blur left it seems to make more sense, if the want and inspiration hits you can do it but there’s no pressure to ever have to if it doesn’t. Why burn bridges?

 

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

Wait, are there people saying that Wet Leg are "industry plants"?

On the other hand The Pixies are a perfect case for hang it up.

Or to just stick to touring the hits.

My hot take today is the moonwalk is a dumb dance and we were all dumb in the 80s.

Tell me you've never seen a TikTok dance without telling me you've never seen a TikTok dance...

Some things never change my friend.

You might just be jealous that you couldn’t moonwalk… I know I was, despite half-heartedly attempting to at least two or three times.

I still try every once in awhile.

Break out the cardboard and you can see me backspin!!!

Everybody can do it in their socks (which gives you the actual key to being able to do it in shoes)

I don’t know man, I wish people had been doing that shuffle shit back in the day when I went to raves. That would have been a lot of fun.

Here’s a take for you… Kraft should stop making deluxe Mac and cheese. No one wants their high faulting yet disappointing noodles and powdered cheese >>>>>>>>> velveta that doesn’t need refrigeration. I’m still salty about my lunch.

Man you should know it takes just a little knowledge and some extra effort to make pasta and cheese sauce.

I mean not for nothing, I really only like five Mac n cheeses, Kraft original, my moms from like thirty years ago (as she got older she started making something more like Mac n cheese soup which was GROSS), this little old lady at my parent’s church made a good one, my wife makes a good one and mine. Beyond that, I’ve never gotten people’s love for it.
