Since the hyphen is sort of in forum format, let's get a music thread going.

I've been bumping the new Bilmuri album pretty hard today.

[gamecat235]

This has been a constant on my playlists this year.

Im about to start putting together my synthwave jam list. I was having good feels with this one this morning.

Saga, because 3 am AM radio put this one in my head lately.

I have been playing the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix sessions of Hybrid Minds along with the joint mix by Sub Focus & Wilkinson on constant rotation.

@adabofoppo Those thumbs remind me there is so much I don't miss about the 80's. I was also thinking as I was listening to that magic sword song that the reason I am into synthwave right now has very little to do with the instruments or style, but more to do with the energy and optimism that the 80's had...only now the sounds can be fully realized.

Just the voices in my head at the moment.

@hammerheadfistpunch

I was born in 82, so I don't recall much of the 80s. But it definitely sounds like you need to inhale some more hairspray fumes and do another line of coke, dude. Totally rad, man.

[The Crazy Kanuck Saab Story]

I've been listening to lots of The Killers lately. The bass line & sax solo in this go hard.

[gamecat235]

@the-crazy-kanuck Day and Age was such a great album too.

[This is what we'll show...]

The sound of silence broken only by the occasional phone notification or random noise from the neighbors.

[Jb boin]

[Cash Rewards]

Newest Aesop Rock album, that I'm sure archduke will get around to posting soon.

[The Crazy Kanuck Saab Story]

@gamecat235 Day & Age of easily in their top 3 albums. Wonderful Wonderful & Battle Born are up their with it. Hot Fuss is good, but not their best.

[TheJWT]

@captdale-is-secretly-british Fantastic album!

[gamecat235]

@the-crazy-kanuck I am very partial to Sam’s Town for a few reasons. It’s a solid album that proved they weren’t a fluke. That was the first tour I saw them on (it was also my son’s first show). And... it belongs to a fairly elite group of records with an amazing common theme.

There is a common thread among these releases. Other than all of them being awesomely amazing.

The Boatman's Call - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Adam N Eve - Gavin Friday
Sam's Town - The Killers
Violator - Depeche Mode
Songs of Faith and Devotion - Depeche Mode
Pop - U2

All of them had Flood at the helm for Production duties and Anton Corbijn for photography duties. And as best as I can tell, that’s just a guarantee for a record which should just be purchased on nothing more than those two factors.

I might read the liner notes.
