Lately I have been listening to myself play Electric Funeral.

Now I am too.  Well, not you playing it, but you know, Sabbath.  I'd like to hear you play it.  Post a vid.

This is one of those cases where I don't care which is the band name and which is the song title.

I have seen Diarhhea planet. Why are they called that? They are kind of fun but mostly silly. Something like 5 guitars on stage.

There is a particular Thing in music that I am really into right now, and I cannot figure out how to explain it, or what it is exactly that is happening.

It definitely has to do with a transition from a verse with a really straight beat to a chorus with really wash-y chords.

Also present here. I know there is some fantastic 60s garage rock song that I am forgetting that has this going on. As well as, of course, every shoegaze band doing those washy chords for the entirety of every song.

I know this is not an opinion most people share, but Rubber Soul is probably my favorite Beatles album. Probably because I am a sucker for genre exercises (although the White Album has a lot of those too).

I used to be more of a White Album/Sgt. Pepper's type of guy, but in recent years Rubber Soul and Revolver have become my two favorite Beatles ablums.

I know what you are describing.  Here's another good example.

YEAH!

It is totally an "opening up" of the musical space. Going from a tight beat and simple repetitive melody to a much looser beat (lots of cymbals and stuff) and a soaring melody. I always feel slightly like I am falling.

I thought I should mention in case anyone was concerned about wombat's Bruce Springsteen addiction: I am cured. Now all I listen to is Oingo Boingo.

after several years of having a reference to one of their albums as my twitter handle, I am finally listening to the DB's DBs Stands For Decibels. I am a fan.

They are from North Carolina! This song is such a silly 60s thing but I like it.

You know how I was saying what torture it is to know that I was alive to have seen them in concert but didn't know about them? Like, I even have to resist the impulse to torture myself further - I know that I took at least one trip to So.California in the 90s and I am trying not to look up the exact dates and see if they were playing concerts then...  But I realized that this has a bright side. A new Bruce Springsteen album is coming out soon and you know what - when a group is dead, you don't have to go through that thing where you are waiting with trepidation to see if their next album is the one where they finally aren't good anymore.
