      Well it made me feel sad, so yeah that’s a great answer.

      Gonna try to play video games to avoid my emotions until I can sleep now, thanks.

    The Beatles - Now and Then

    It just came out Friday and the fact that it is being called the last Beatles song just hits me a lot harder than being called the new Beatles song. The Beatles have always been a part of my life.

    My mom raised me on the Beatles. One of my proudest moments as a son was taking her to see Paul McCartney in concert.

    I proposed to my wife by hiding her engagement ring in the Hard Days Night DVD case. We had watched it on our first date. Our wedding song was In My Life.

    We used to play Beatles songs as lullabies for both of our kids. When my son, who is autistic, was a toddler, playing Hey Jude would instantly calm him down.

    So even though I wasn’t ever expecting anything from them again, the fact this song from the band who is my favorite, my mom’s favorite, my wife’s favorite, and my kids favorite has been dubbed “the last Beatles song”, hit me harder than I imagined it could.

    The empty stage at the end of the video made me cry like I was watching a Pixar movie

    First time I heard Blouses Blue play in Cyberpunk, it caught me off guard. Fuego by Bomba Estereo was another video game banger. Born Free by MIA went pretty hard, back in the day. That riff in Pantera’s Cemetery Gates never ceases to get me fired up. Bobby Shmurda’s Hot N**** is up there with the best eats, ever, and got me the first time.

      Yeah never heard them before but my gf had a feeling I would like them!

      I have no idea if it’s what the singers had in mind but I feel so like pro union listening to it. So many corporations have proven a million times that the only reason they don’t kill more people is because of potential negative profits.

        I’ve given up trying to crack where the identity of the band is, I’m pretty sure we’d be inline, but some of the tracks make us pause the music and discuss if we’re being duped by killer licks.

        An excellent band with an excellent sound. I hope they make more albums!

  • I have been slowly dipping my toes in Brother Ali the past few months, and recently listened to this for the first time. His voice is awesome but some of the words may be a little hard to catch. It’s worth looking up the lyrics.

    His voice is like caramel in my ears (in the most complimentary way), but it’s his lyrics that get me in this and a few others.

      I first discovered Brother Ali coming down off a bunch of LSD, and that was some ear candy at the time. He’ll always have a special place in my musical heart.

    Can’t believe it took so long to actually listen to Staight outta Compton, but that has some interesting observations on race and law enforcement in America.

    Harmony Parking Lot Song - Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains

    “Here’s to our lives being meaningless And how beautiful it is Because freedom doesn’t have a purpose”

    Really that whole album. Taught me a lot about how to be ok with being broken.

    Havenless by Enslaved changed my life when I heard it for the first time in Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey.

    I recently got recommended Money Game 3 by Ren. I’ve never been more focused on a music video.
