    Bringing home fast food is lazy, regardless of who does it. There’s nothing fun about eating overpriced slop because you were too lazy to prepare something yourself…

    Also “Run-of-the-mill mom”? My mum never pushed me on swings. Always had to wait for my dad to do that.







  • Aiming for radio appeal and catering to the masses is ok, as long as you do it from the start.

    Every musician/band I know of that changed their sound to be more radio friendly has given up their own sound.

    The first example that comes to mind would be Kevin Parker; the first two Tame Impala albums are amazing, but since then he went full pop. It worked for a few songs, but recently his features in other songs were better than his own stuff (i.e. New Gold by Gorillaz and Neverender by Justice) IMO.

    As far as AC/DC goes, I grew up with Black Ice, which is a decent album (albeit a bit bloated) but nothing I would necessarily would want to revisit any time soon. Pretty much all of their (popular) stuff sounds so big, yet lacks real depth in my opinion.






  • To be honest? AC/DC; they’ve got plenty of good songs but plenty of duds as well. It’s pretty much become one of those bands that if you ask someone, who’s wearing their tshirt what their favourite song/album is, they either won’t be able to give you an answer, or pick a really obvious one (most likely either Highway to Hell or Hell’s Bells).

    It’s the same with Metallica and, to a lesser extent, Iron Maiden.
