1999 in music. • Page 13

I’ve actually never checked out NIN and they’re playing a festival I’m going to this year. Where should I start, The Fragile or Downward Spiral?

 

the beginning

 

start from beginning and make it a priority to see them

 

Wild scenes in here last few pages. Way too much LCD soundsystem talk , we've got 6 weeks before we HAVE to talk about them. Lol

I have to check out that Splender album too, that cover looks so familiar I'm sure I'll recognize a song or two from it, and the Rundgren production makes it worth a listen.

 

Back in 1999 I hope we can leave this decade with at least one person who hadn’t listened before scoping out múm

 

Downward Spiral -> Broken -> Pretty Hate Machine -> With Teeth -> The Fragile -> The Slip - > Year ZEro -> Hesitation Marks -> 3 EP's released in 2016-18

That's not necessarily in order of best to worst but just probably the most accessible way to get into their catalog.

 

i ... pretty plainly don't get hopping around in the discography. just go in order haha. if you want to skip something, skip the slip. they don't really have THAT much music. you can do it in a few days

 

His catalog is excellent throughout. But if you have to pick one, The Fragile is the best.

 

absolutely

 

1. Sigur Ros - Owgrtus Bjruy. N
2. Mos Def - Black on Both Sides
3. Thursday - Waiting

 

Nice spelling

 

I love Finally We Are No One but I've never heard their 1999 album. Will try and check it out later.

 

I have heard plenty of songs by The Killers. I feel like of all those bands they were the biggest over here in terms of radio play.

 

It's unsurprisingly great. Really love their sound, super fun and engaging throughout.

 

I've got this chorus circling around my head

 

yeah, if we’re talking internationally as well, the gap between the indie scene and emo is even larger

 

If you're talking US/UK/Europe, then for sure. That being said, the influence of bands like MCR on a lot of k-pop acts cannot be understated.

 

those indie bands are MASSIVE in South America too

 

I mean...Paramore. Haha

 

When I taught in Korea years ago, I was surprised how homogenous the music tastes were there. The kids there hadn’t heard of Rihanna or Beyoncé or One Direction or Taylor Swift or whoever was really popular in 2013ish, the names just meant nothing to them, and you never heard Western music in supermarkets and the like, the music they listened to was 100% k pop.

Once they got into the late teens , maybe one or two listened to non K Pop music, but that really was the exception not the rule.

 

Well I mean that is kinda sorta the same for us here. Like I'm from Massachusetts and I don't think I ever heard of K pop until like 4 years ago.

 

Yeah, but growing up you’d have kids who were into hip hop, kids into punk, kids into pop, kids into metal etc, even if all the music they were listening to was probably American.

With the kids in Korea when I was there, it was all K Pop, which is a little different. Or maybe I just can’t tell the sub genres apart!

 

I totally get it. As a kid myself, I was into all the music that was available to me.

 

There’s a certain kind of song where the annoyingness becomes catchiness. Like “I Love It” by Icona Pop or every song on Charli XCX’s Vroom Vroom.

 

I suppose the "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" refrain IS permanently lodged in my memory.
