Same , but with:
- Ryan Caraveo, u okay? - ...of course, K.Flay
Lol. Mine was LCD Soundsystem.
Asked the same thing to me, but about The Replacements.
For me it was Asking Alexandria, which fit pretty well as they have mostly dark songs.
What's moody about the placemats?
Well, if you consider drunken sprees a mood... :)
On second thought I do think Paul Westerberg has a strong melancholy streak.
At first I had stuff "Waitress in the Sky" or "Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out" or "Alex Chilton" or whatever in mind, but now that I think about it there's a dark undercurrent to plenty of the songs in the core Replacements canon: "Hold my Life", "Unsatisified", "I Will Dare", "Bastards of Young", "I'll Be You", etc. - not to mention of a handful of slow tempo tracks with obviously dark themes.
I don't normally associate the Replacements with mopey music but in retrospect I'm not sure why. It's kinda all over the place, under a very thin veneer of drunken cynicism.
Exactly. To your point, I'm thinking of 'Swingin' Party,' 'Here Comes a Regular,' even the lovely 'Skyway' is melancholy at heart. Read 'Trouble Boys' by Bob Mehr to find out why.
Clipping here, which definitely made sense.
Asked the same thing to me, but about Radiohead.
