Who’s in the Presidential Boy Band? To help celebrate our twenty-fifth year of being on the information superhighway, we have reached out to some of our favorite former columnists for check-ins and updates. Today’s returning columnist, Chris White, was one of the winners of our first-ever Column Contest in 2009. For Chris White Answers Profound Questions About the Presidents, he p…

Weirdest tour band/artist combinations you’ve heard of? Idk. I’m new to touring for the most part so I don’t have any really weird ones, but the green day supports of smashing pumpkins and nothing but thieves inspired this post. Blink and Pierce the veil recently announced was weird too, and so was bring me opening for fall out boy. I’m sure there are much weirder I’m not aware of submitted by …

What’s a band that is not good or bad, just boring to you? My pick for this would be Kings of Leon. I don’t love them and I don’t hate them either. I see why SOMEONE would like them but they just leave me feeling disinterested. They’re the white bread of alternative rock. submitted by /u/Corninator

Which local band deserves success but has not been able to break out of their hometown? There are a lot of great bands around that are better than anything on the radio/charts but instead are playing residences to 30 people on a Thursday night. Who is your pick for a band that is criminally underrated in your local pub? submitted by /u/Thylacine-

Robbie Williams Believes “Being In A Boy Band Causes Mental Illness” submitted by /u/DreGu90

Name a good band whose success greatly suffered bcuz they gave themselves a stupid name My pick is the Goo Goo Dolls. They’re not my favorite band ever, but I’ve recently (like in the last 3-4 years) grown to like them more and more. Their music is actually decent. Any time I’ve ever asked someone who I know this question, the answer is always…never heard of them. That is, with the exception of this one friend I had back in high sc…

Most band’s best work is at the beginning of their career. What group got better as they aged? When you look at most artist work, their best music is from their first couple albums, roughly around their 3-5th albums typically. I’ve been thinking about this a lot and while I love entire discographies of many bands, I continually admit to myself that I enjoy earlier stuff on average more than later content. The bands that come to mind tha…

Name a great unsigned band? Please give us your absolute best cuts. I will listen to them all. For me it’s Orbiting Pluto. One morning I went to my local coffee shop and the manager was bragging on the barista’s new album. She said “it’s like he took his whole soul and put it on a CD.” He gave me a free copy, and told us he was saving up to make a 100-CD pressing. I went back to my car, played the first three tracks, and my hair stood up …

What’s your peak band that you appreciate but don’t love? We all have this happen, we’ll have a long list of reasons why we think a band/artist is awesome and culturally important but we don’t actually throw them on to listen to very much because we don’t enjoy them on a more organic level. I think for me the peak is REM. I have so much respect for their music and could wax poetic about why they’re gre…

Her’s – Live at Paste Studios Performance by English band who were tragically killed in a car accident while on tour a few years ago submitted by /u/Chilis1

Did you ever swear a song was created by “band X” but it was actually “band Y”? I’m not talking about a remake, but the song you remember. For me I would have bet money that the song “Hello It’s Me” by Todd Rundgren was done by Carol King. A few years ago I was looking for it online and I couldn’t find it except under Todd Rundgren which I assumed was a remake. I was wrong and realized it after I finally listened to what I thought was his remake. submitted by /u/LinuxKDEfan …

LPT: Save and use leftover z-fold paper napkins from fast food/takeout/delivery restaurants by jerryrigging a napkin dispenser out of a shallow tray such as a reusable Chinese takeout box and a rubber band https://imgur.com/p4OwEJ4 Z-fold paper napkins and towels are interleaved so that when you put them in the correct type of dispenser, pulling out one pulls out the next one partway, ready to be taken. In a free stack not in a dispenser this is annoying because it’s hard to take just one off the top, or to take a small stack of a few, since the l…

League’s new boy band looks ripped out of Arcane Image: NetflixThe first music video from Heartsteel, Riot Games’ new virtual boy band starring characters from League of Legends, is here. The video, for the band’s first song, “Paranoia,” has a slick look that harkens back to the awesome art style of Arcane, Netflix’s animated series set in the League of Legends universe. While a second season …

Allman Brothers Band – Soulshine (1994) submitted by /u/Morgana337

I learned guitar 2 years ago, started a band 1 year ago, and now Pearl Jam’s drummers is playing on one of our tracks. AMA I’m turning 36 on Monday. After a lifetime of picking up and dropping the guitar without any success, I finally hunkered down and got a Yousician subscription 2 years ago. I learned all the rudimentary chords and started jamming with my childhood best friend on a cajon. It’s amazing what you can do with just 10 chords in your arsenal (I still su…

“Best” Players ruining a band? Background: saw a band last night where the person who was clearly the most accomplished musician (in this case the drummer) actually threw off the balance of the band. I imagine they feel “lucky to have him” but if I managed them I’d sack him and find someone who fit better. Curious if anyone has examples of bands you think match this descripti…
