Can we get a clarification? I have never understood the term Alt Music. By virtue of the term, is it an alternative to music? That doesn't sound very complimentary. Ok, so would the Cult(Sanctuary era) be considered alt, while their more ROCK records are not? As the resident old man/longhair what are some of the intersections of our circles? Alice in Chains...is that considered Alt? I know I have seen them on the Alternative charts, but none of that ever made any sense to me.

I am not trying to insult or take the piss here...I genuinely am asking.

Seriously though, Alternative was a catch all phrase before people went all hipster and decided to compartmentalize and genre the s*** out of everything. IMHO, the term "Alternative" is exactly that, an alternative to the mainstream crap that was being pushed by the radio stations and producers from the late 70's through around 1995. After that, true Alt kind of took a dump.

"Dreamtime", "Love", and "Electric" are quintessential Alternative, no argument. "Sonic Temple" and beyond, meh...not so much anymore.

"Love" being their Magnum Opus, imho.

As Alt as Alt gets.

The highlight of this video is Kathleen Hanna dancing around.

[santiclaws]

I don't know how to post videos
For ****'s sake. Are you over 70? Because that would be the only valid excuse I can think of.

1. Find video of whatever terrible song you listen to.
2. Copy URL of said video (If you say "what's a URL?" or "how do I copy?" I'm gonna go over there and smack you, I swear to ****ing God).
3. Hit "Reply" or "Quick Reply" on this or pretty much any other message board.
4. At the top of the reply box, you'll see a bunch of little icons, for Bold, Italic, etc. One of the icons will be a little film strip. Click the ****ing film strip.
5. A little box will open up, with a blank space. Paste the URL into the blank space. Hit "OK." Done.

If you need any additional instructions, just turn off your internet, electricity, all other utilities and go live out your days off the grid in a cabin in the woods. This century is not for you.

[What party?]

Thanks, dude. It is not every day you meet your doppelganger. According to that one X-files episode with Kathy Griffin (for some reason) we could not be in the same place at the same time without trying to kill each other, so there is that?Dun-dun-daahhhh.

Saw these guys at the Hollywood Palladium in the '80s when I was a youngun. They were absolutely outstanding live, I really wasn't expecting it. While my girlfriend and I were waiting in line, people were passing around a petition to save KMET and my girlfriend and I bought some oregano. We weren't necessarily trying to buy oregano, but that's what it ended up being.

Nice, buying fake weed is a right of passage and I bet the Kinks were amazing live. The Palladium has some good memories for me as well. Went to see either MXPX or NoFX circa 2003 and some "punks" got in a fight in the parking lot and ended up smashing my friend's car window.

Orpheeeee! Front 242! Is this the industrial thread??? I wanted to post something similar but lost my nerve (Revolting C*cks- Beers, Steers and...etc) due to the insensitive content. It was the wise choice

Speaking of amazing live...

Saw these guys in their next-to-last Halloween concert in '93. It was actually on October 31, it was outside, and there was a full moon. The atmosphere was absolutely electric from the start. The band was on and obviously having a blast and the crowd was going nuts. "Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky" (Elfman points at full moon, crowd goes insane).

At the end of the show, management was trying to get the band to finish the show at the scheduled time and they refused to leave. The house lights were turned on, they kept playing. A man in a suit came out from back stage to talk to Danny Elfman. Elfman nodded at everything the guy said, and as soon as he turned and walked off stage, Danny said "**** it, we're gonna keep playing!" Already insane crowd turns it up a few more notches. They played another half an hour or so. They wouldn't let Oingo back into the venue for the final Halloween show in '94, so they played Universal. I was out of the country and didn't go to that one, but my bestie who went to both said the '94 show didn't even come close to the prior year. I can't imagine how it could have.

You think you're going to live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
You've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
and now you're desperate and in need of human contact
and then you meet me and your whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop all you defenses, and you drop all your fears and you trust me
completely, I'm perfect in every way
'cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
you feel so lucky, but your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
wonder why things are going so well
you want to know why? :think:

'cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar!! evil:
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me

and I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much! rolleyes:
and all the time that you're needing me is just the time
that I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction then I'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me... you wanna know why? :think:

I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar, ooh, I'm a liar!! :mad:

but if you'll give me another chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
'cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
they're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
please, just give me more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,

I just had some kind of epiphany driving home tonight... So well over 10 years ago, I was helping my friend with his car. He had another friend over and he brought this mix. I've been trying to remember one of the tracks from that night this whole flippin time. So tonight on my way home I'm listening to the Movie Crypt Podcast and Joe Lynch says "it's a cause and effect." FINALLY REMEMBERED THE DAMN SONG.

Ok, so just like the Punk thread I somehow missed this and once again am late to the party.

As far as "what is Alt?" I always considered it music that is sorta close to what was mainstream but not quite. Or really cool/different music that the big radio stations won't play because "Our mainstream top 40 audience might not like this or think it is too weird." So by that definition there is still Alt-Music around today. Music you rarely hear on places like KROQ, the so called ATL-98.7, my104.3 ect ect. And if you do hear it it is 6 months to year after the song was actually released.

I actually, on more than one occasion, heard one of those stations declare "Check out this great brand new song by......." Yeah, I heard that last year on KCRW.

So here is one that I heard a few months ago and I doubt it will ever be played on the other stations..

This Danish singer, Agnes Obel goes medieval on us. String instruments, monkish sounding backup singers, dark mood.

Untouchables were great and totally underrated. Most of the stuff Sublime got credit for was ripped off directly from them and Fishbone.

Well, the Dead South definitely has elements of bluegrass, the banjo being the most obvious. They also include elements of rock, folk, roots, folk and blues in their music. Nathaniel Rateliff, on the other hand, doesn't sound anything like bluegrass, really. Soul, blues, R&B, rock, yes. I wouldn't call them bluegrass at all. But, really, there's a lot of cross-pollination in most, if not all, styles of American music. It is often difficult to put something solidly in one category. You can say that punk has its roots in gospel music, and you really wouldn't be wrong.

I mean, this has a banjo, an accordion and a bunch of crazy Finns including a guy playing an anvil with a wrench. You wanna tell me exactly which category this belongs to?

So here is band that Salty Dog and I discussed/were into many years ago, so long ago he had a different name!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY4F7_kynzk

[Kings Provisional]

Ok so I believe I posted this in the Punk thread a couple of years ago.

Sharks ( Not "The Sharks" which is a Rockabilly band out of Australia, or a crappy, cheap shot team out of SJ) out of Leaming Spa England, when they first came out they were praised by many a Brit music mag, most notably, Vive Le Rock, which is one of my faves. In fact I discovered this band from that mag.

Anyway this is probably my favourite song by them, they sound like a combo of The Clash and the Jam!

Give it a listen!

So to back santiclaws here are two of the weirder vids I have seen in a while. Both fairly recent tunes (compared to the stuff we have been postin'), both vids involve a lot of blood and stabbing. But the music is way different.

Crank it up, but don't let young kids watch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv9YoYCKNoE


Cherry Glazerr, L.A. band took there name from a KCRW radio reporter. I at the start said weird vid, this one is psycho, I said don't let kids watch it, there is a parental advisory warning at the start. Also the chick playing the psycho serial killer, at over 21 shows likes to play topless.

Okay, so this band is not new to me, Heard of them years ago, actually bought their stuff. But never researched and looked them up as I usually do when I discover a new band. But I liked them, got their stuff and forgot to do followup.

So this came out a couple of months ago. Sounds pretty cool, like something a "cool band" band would do. Hipster sorta stuff, I imagined dudes in cool clothes, sunglasses, slick haircuts ect ect.....

So is the official vid............... watch this first.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlMDRBB-O5M

But turns out they are not hipster. They are Seattle natives: So three lumberjack looking dudes, ( the vocalist has his car keys on his belt!), the bassist looks like guys I've hung out with in London pubs (he has a Brit prison tat on his hand) and the drummer could pass as a hyped hard-core drummer! And he sorta looks psycho! Cool as all hell!

18 year old Declan McKenna. From Hertfordshire UK, which by the way, is where my family is from, i was born in the US, as was my mum and what not, but Hertfordshire is our UK hometown. Never been and is that is somewhat shameful, because I have been back, a number of times, but just hung out in Londontown, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, the Southwest, You Know!! Exeter, Dorset, Bath, Cornwall ect ect Pirate country!!!!! But did hang out with pals in Bideford, very cool and beautiful, but never went to ancestral homeland.

Anyway, Declan is cool! And perhaps a distant relative of mine!!!!

Love how he throws a chick or two in there for story. The late 80's were rough for gays.

Okay, so here is one my current favs: Grace Mitchell. I'll just say this, she this this generations Chrissie Hynde. And a little more, the bonus, she is 19 years old and is pretty damn cool! Also red hair and bright blue eyes, and if she walked into bar, ok only 19, so a bar in Canada or Mexico, you would buy her a drink and hope for better things later. And the first vid the parts when she is bathing, she looks sexy as hell!!!! She looks like the girls I saw when I walked the streets of Copenhagen for a few days, a Viking looking hot chick. But she is from Portland, OR.

Here is here breakout song, the one that caught me. Also some sexy stuff going on. And I defy you to deny she is not the new Chrissie Hynde on this one. Plus black Cons and cuffed jeans...........my type of gal!
