@marleyfacedboy yeah that was sick man! I guess you’ve been digging into DMB a lot more lately? I haven’t gone down that rabbit hole since college, but I’ve always enjoyed what I’ve heard from them.

They always get made fun of for being the fratty jam band but when it slaps it slaps

I’ve really been digging the 1974 Bob Marley & The Wailers album Natty Dread. This album contains the studio recording of “No Woman No Cry” and “Lively Up Yourself”, but otherwise it’s one of his lesser known albums.

It has one of my favorite songs on it, though: “Rebel Music (3 O’Clock Roadblock)”

I just published an essay about the meaning of “Rebel Music” on the main blog.

And another one that I’ve been digging into lately: “Talkin’ Blues”

This song also ended up being the name of a 1991 compilation album of 70s recordings.

 

The song releasing part of the beef appears to be over (possibly?), and Kendrick Lamar has been declared the winner. But now there is some stuff going on in the aftermath. Some of it is amusing, some of it is kind of scary.

For the amusing part, here is something I found on Reddit. People were accusing Kendrick of farming lines from “Not Like Us” from Tweets. Corn on Twitter points out that this is pretty ironic:

Drake Security Guard Shot

In more concerning news, Drake’s security guard was shot outside of his home in Toronto. It’s not clear whether or not this is related to the beef. Here is the news, from Stereogum (my favorite independent music blog):

EbonyPrince2k24 Tweets

There is also a Twitter account called EbonyPrince2k24 that claims to be a Hotel employee who found some items that Drake left behind in the hotel one night in the lost and found… his Tweets are pretty cryptic and I won’t try to make sense of them… see it for yourself here.

Overall there seems to be a lot stemming from this beef and I don’t believe it’s fully over yet… I don’t know if this EbonyPrince person has anything real or if they are just looking to stir up controversy … I’m just watching and sharing my findings for anyone who is curious about the Kendrick vs Drake beef

“Mean” by Mister Morning was released today. This one has a minimalist, lofi style, following the lead guitar riff with various layers dropping in throughout the song. Mister Morning is one artist that I discovered on the forum where I can honestly say that I have enjoyed all of the music so far.

I will be adding this one to Extra Chill’s New Music Radar next week. Thanks for the heads up about the new track!

Hey dude thanks for joining! I just had the chance to listen to this and it’s good stuff! I’ll add it to our playlist, I will be getting an update together this week. Hope you’ll keep coming back and sharing each single here as they come out!

Are they part of an album, or just individual singles?

Here is the lineup for Extra Chill Fest 2024! Tickets available at extrachillfest.com along with information about each artist! 

 

I think there is a chance that he heard someone called him mid after the Charleston show because I saw it posted on the Charleston subreddit when someone asked for reviews of High Water. Also, the story I made on Instagram after I wrote my last post in this thread was one of the most popular Instagram stories that Extra Chill has ever posted.

Some people in the media tent were huge Noah Kahan fans and @badjonphoto was asking me questions, and I answered truthfully in a tent full of the entire media crew. Which means that everyone in the media tent heard about that little writeup, and a lot of them probably clicked through and read it during the rainy downtime.

It’s actually a pretty clever bit for Noah to be saying “Noah Kahan is mid” himself, regardless of whether or not he saw my review. Now he’s got his fans joking that Noah Kahan is so mid, so it takes away power from anyone who means it. If you type into Google “Noah Kahan is mid” you’ll find that video and news about it on all sorts of sites, with people sarcastically saying he is mid.

Hopefully soon you will also find this forum post, so we can be the discerning voice of reason.

It’s funny, this is the most popular post on this forum as of right now. People find this page by searching “Noah Kahan sucks” and “why do people like Noah Kahan” If you found it by searching for something like that, why don’t you make an account and chime in on the discussion?

Not me but the show will be awesome! Wish I could make it!

The answer to this question is No, there will be no streams from Dead & Company sphere shows. This was posted by Bobby today on Instagram

“Sphere shows will not be streamed online – you need to experience this live!”

Really interesting concept! By the photos it reminds me of one of those Starcraft or LAN gaming competitions. That’s some high pressure to work under to be eliminated like that in real time.

Does everybody bring their own computer? Or is the gear already set up? I saw in some of the pictures, people using old school computers.

@kaitheczar

Music Midtown, Live Nation owned, is taking a hiatus in 2024. This is one that I definitely didn’t expect to see bite the dust. But, Live Nation consolidates and eliminates their own competition in the market.

My distaste for this company is so strong. Even though Music Midtown was never really my cup of tea to begin with…
