"He shoved me in a broom closet and stuck his tongue down my throat." Wait, you thought it was over? "Later that night he showed up at my dorm."
man fuck that is awful to read through planned my Thanksgiving travel around a concert he announced in Cambridge. Probably won't be seeing that anymore seriously folks, listen to the new A. Savage album. It is beyond incredible
Really strange dude. He's a musician who is, by accounts of most of these women, attractive. He was born on third and if he plays the laid back care free role he would have women groping him. So strange.
I met him years ago and he crept on a friend of mine. I figured it was just him being drunk but it’s definitely a trend so fuck him
Could you describe this artist for the uninitiated? I don't like to check out music without some sort of review attached
Imagine if Tom Waits was a 20 year old British kid who grew up listening to hip hop and minimalist R&B
just walked around town listening to Craft Spells at lunch. Good times new MGMT video for their song Little Dark Age is below
I realize this is not in the genre of this thread, but I honestly have no clue where to ask a question like this, and you cats are by far the best at finding ways to listen to rare or random albums/songs on the internet so: looking for somewhere to stream/download the Led Zeppelin 1997 BBC sessions live album. Not on Spotify. Youtube only has a handful of the songs and a lot of playlists that are misleadingly full of random versions of songs not from that album. TIA for any help
vk.com, Russian facebook. I literally just pulled it up. It also happens to have pretty much any pron you want, for free because Russians don't give a fuck. Edit: TLAU, sorry forgot to mention that you need to register. I just used my cell phone but that was some time ago. Not sure if you need an email now or not.
I know people have mixed feelings about them ITT, but seeing LCD play a 250 person venue in Aspen in January. Can’t wait
The girl from Crystal Castles is the latest to come out with a sexual harassment story Spoiler Some of you may be aware that I’ve opened up about my experiences with abuse in the past. I’ve been very guarded about the information I’ve given and I haven’t publicly named names—because I’ve been afraid. I’ve been threatened and harassed and as a result, out of fear, I’ve been silenced. The momentum that’s been created recently by the many courageous women who have opened up about their own stories has inspired me to finally be more direct, at whatever cost. This is for my own recovery, for the other women who have been, are currently, or may be in a similar situation with the man who abused me for years, and for those in abusive relationships who are looking to stand up and speak out. I met “Ethan Kath” (Claudio Palmieri) when I was in the 10th grade. The first time he took advantage of me was when I was around 15. He was 10 years older than me. I came to in the back of his car extremely intoxicated (from drinks he had given me that night). We didn’t talk for months after that. He went to great lengths to find me again, stalking me and driving past my high school looking for me. He tracked me down and showed up places I was hanging out and we eventually reconnected. I was very young and naive and in a compromised position in my life. I perceived him as a local rock star because I had seen his band, Kill Cheerleader, on TV. A lot of my friends from the punk scene had also been taken advantage of by much older men, so to me, it was a situation that had been normalized. Claudio was very manipulative towards me. He figured out my insecurities and exploited them: he used the things he learned about me against me. Over a period of many months, he gave me drugs and alcohol and had sex with me in an abandoned room at an apartment he managed. It wasn’t always consensual and he remained sober whenever we were together. When I was 16 or 17 he gave me a CD of songs and asked me to write and sing over them. I took the songs home and wrote lyrics and melodies and we recorded the tracks I liked. But even with music, he created a toxic environment that I often felt I had to go along with. While recording our first EP, the recording engineer sexually harassed me while we were in the studio. Claudio laughed at me and pressured me to go along with it. He called our first single “Alice Practice” and said my vocals were a mic test. He concocted that story and told press it was an “accidental” recording, intentionally diminishing my role in its creation. It was another way of putting me down and preying on my insecurities. Soon after, we were invited to tour the UK. I was overwhelmed by how quickly things were happening for us, and Claudio convinced me to drop out of high school only 2 credits away from graduation. As we started to gain attention, he began abusively and systematically targeting my insecurities and controlling my behavior: my eating habits, who I could talk to, where I could go, what I could say in public, what I was allowed to wear. He kept me from doing interviews or photoshoots unless he was in control of the situation. Our fame grew in Crystal Castles but he didn’t feel he was getting the recognition he thought he deserved. He became physically abusive. He held me over a staircase and threatened to throw me down it. He picked me up over his shoulders and threw me onto concrete. He took pictures of my bruises and posted them online. I tried to leave, and he swore that it would never happen again, that he would never physically abuse me again. More severe psychological and emotional abuse took its place. He controlled everything I did. I wasn’t allowed to have my own phone or my own credit card, he decided who my friends were, read through my private emails, restricted my access to social media, regulated everything I ate. He berated me and yelled at me, telling me that I was a joke, that all the people that came to our shows were only interested in his instrumentals and that I was ruining the band. He broke glass shower doors to frighten me, he locked me into rooms. He told me that my feminism made me a target for rapists and only he could protect me. He forced me to have sex with him or, he said, I wouldn’t be allowed to be in the band anymore. I was miserable and my lyrics indirectly spoke to the pain and oppression that I was enduring. But as is sometimes the case in abusive relationships, his cruelty was often followed by kindness. He was very good at keeping his terrible treatment of me private. He was charming sometimes, he was hyper protective and most of all I loved the band we had together. But he often told me how replaceable I was. He’d even tell me that he was actively looking for someone to replace me. He kept me insecure and on edge, and then would tell me that he was the only one it the world that believed in me. He told me it was us against everyone, because everyone else thought I was a loser, a joke, a talentless dancing clown. I believed him. I was suicidal for years. Leaving Crystal Castles was the single most difficult decision I’ve ever made—that band was everything to me. My music, my performances and my fans were all I had in the world. I gave that up and started over not because I wanted to but because I had to. As difficult as it was, I knew that leaving was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It has taken me years to recover from enduring almost a decade of abuse, manipulation and psychological control. I am still recovering. http://www.alice-glass.com/cc/
What is it with these indie rock guys and creeping on young girls? This has been an issue in my local scene even
Oh Sees with a video for Nite Expo and by the way, I have been listening to Craft Spells almost all day
seeing Speedy Ortiz with Tera Melos tonight video for the Tera Melos song Warpless Run is below, it's rad
probably because the first 20something years of their lives they associated rock and roll with fucking every chick that feigns attention to the band to be cool. Nobody told them that only applies to 70s and 80s cocaine/heroin rock n roll whores and not easy listening indie music chicks vaping hash oil these guys probably aren't doing anything that members of most 80s rock bands did just those bands were in a time when everyone was so fucked up on drugs they didn't care or probably couldn't remember
dude they're just "authentic" okay. for real though if they wanted to just take the pussy then they should have gone into EDM instead of indie rock
A lot of great songwriting comes from a fucked up place that socially well adjusted people can't access.
