Chester will always be a hero of my teens. And Shinoda is actually a bit of a musical mastermind, he's really really good on all the other projects I've heard him in. And the stuff he produces is awesome too. The whole band were very talented. But the Linkin park sound was very much spearheaded by Chester's vocals. They pioneered Nu Metal, and paved the way for rap to become more common in metal. They pushed boundaries and I loved it, hybrid theory is up there in my list of all time most influencial albums.
Yeah. Great band. I saw them at ozzfest in '99 I think and fell in love right away. And the messages of their music only has grown on me I over time. Chester is my soul brother. Another sensitive soul that got a little to close to the sun. RIP.
I really liked your post earlier btw. I had to think really really hard about which songs really answered your question. Citizen soldier I've only just recently discovered. A musician that writes from the experience of being a professional psychologist. I'll bet he's got a lot of material to draw from.
No worries 👊. The problem with algos on Spotify or YouTube music, is they just show you more of the same stuff you already like, same genres, new bands sometimes but same styles. The amount of new genres I've found and enjoyed since doing the dailies has been awesome. And the weeklies too. So much variety.
For sure. The older I get the more I open up to new genres. When I was a kid, it was 90s white kid rock music ONLY. Everything else was stupid. Turns out I was just kind of stupid.
Now you made me listen to both versions again! I like them both, and it's amazing how the song almost has a different meaning between the two versions.
Yep, I love a different artists interpretation of the same lyrics and notes. Cash's feels very raw. Both bring something different and unique to the track, I wouldn't say one was better than the other.
I had a good mess about with the wife in the car about it, she prefers the cash version and I kept getting her to say "I prefer the original" and then I'd correct her again that it's a NIN track. Just a little tease to pass the time whilst off out to another national trust for the day.
I'm really enjoying these indie dance wave things you've been posting. Not my usual go to sound, so it's been really fun to experience something I wouldn't normally find.
Well now I need to go find out who crystal castles are. Never mind snow strippers we're going for snowball effect 🤣 always fun how one thing leads to another
Chambao is a flamenco-electronic band originally from Málaga, Spain, active in its first period from 2002 to 2018 and with a return announced for 2023. They're known for a Flamenco Chill sound that fuses flamenco sounds and palos with electronic music. The name of the band is taken from an improvised form of beach tent that is constructed as a means of sheltering from the wind and sun.
