Current Events > The walkman are good

(+) Yeah! (+)

There has been good music in the last couple decades but you really have to look for it. Like this one though. Just raw emotion, someone was talking about Weezer, but the Walkmen are newer and similar. It's that whole Violent Femmes vibe crossed with the Clash.

I saw them live! They were opening for Florence + the Machine in Toronto a while back.

Yes my keys on my keyboard are screwing with me again, but that whole scene is good and others. Arcade fire, Bright Eyes etc.. I'm more before that and spinoffs of Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails etc, that but it's all kind of the same music. More punk and the clash vs what rock had become though.

I'll even listen to Enya, there is lots of good music, but my main thing was WAAF and rock but there are all sorts of variations. Pop too. This is one thing Massachusetts really had going for it was just really good rock and pop music. Between 99.3 in Amherst and WAAF. I consider that stuff more like a spinoff of punk and bands like the Clash, femmes and the Police.

Boston Natives. My favorite album of the decade, probably.

My caps lock key and e key are screwed. It makes for good or bad music depending on how you look at it lol. I went back and edited and threw in some commas but really not worth it. Time to get a new keyboard. It's a good thing I don't twitter.

It's funny because The Walkmen remind me a lot of the Boston music scene from the 2000s, but they're a New York based band.

Anyways, Leithauser voice really perplexes me quite a bit. It gives every one of their songs a completely distinct sound.

I'm not acting like they are some deep discovery. I compared them to the Clash. Clowns everywhere. They are a bit off the beaten path than that. But not really. They are a millennial band.

I mentioned 2 of the most rock stations and pop stations around in MA. 99.3 which doesn't exist anymore and WAAF which doesn't either. They don't even play the walkmen and wouldn't. 102 would play the Police and 99.3. But youtube is out there.
