Silent Alarm possibly the best British Band album of of the first half of the 00s The sound of the drum and bass was the best out there in indie world around 2005-08
Well said Matt. A valuable perspective from a Muscician who’s worked throughout the changing business eras of the music industry over the past 20 years.
All sorts of bands are coming out of the woodwork dropping albums Chicago, Depeche Mode, Def Leppard, David Gilmour... the list goes on and on and on I GAURENTEE 100% ALL these older bands are getting help from AI to create new music through the record companies If you truly believe bands that have been around 30, 40, 50 years are all of a sudden having epiphanies and rediscovered the sound that made them popular all that time ago, than you my friend are sipping the juice
It's the Oxford University thing, right? I'm not saying Bloc Party aren't a good band (I enjoyed the Glasto sets of the past, and the one from this year) but it must have been a positive. I remember there was a buzz about a scene there. This guy had a "Hi Mum" sign on his bass drum at Glasto in probably 2005.
My first three gigs were Bloc Party, Paramore and Arcade Fire, and collectively the price of those three tickets were just over £100.
adjusted for inflation about £350 now lol😂
Remember going to shows every weekend?

Liked The Rakes - Capture Release better
@@markn8535 Very good album, the rakes should have gone on to massive things on the back of Stasbourg.
Silent Alarm is next level though imo
Kid A.
I saw bloc party 3 times back in the day. Absolutely loved it. Good times
Matt's pad looks chill
Thanks for this.

Stopped coming back after covid because I can't afford the fuckin' ticket prices.
Hate Ticketmaster, expensive tickets then a booking/handling fee thrown on top at the end 🙃
U wont get “ ai making all the music “ people want real personalities and stories behind the music .
It's more likely they'll have AI making the music, lie about it and pretend a band is making it.

I don’t think Macca’s brain has gone tbf
His voice and his morals certainly have
$200? I wouldn’t even pay that much for a band I fucking like.
Good band
He didn’t play the recent Glastonbury ……has he left the band?
only about a decade ago...
@@dddppp3086 …thanks…haven’t really kept up with them since mid noughties
You're not very quick are you?
@@TheMusicalElitist …bet I’m faster than you
@@raffles7556 You're clearly not, considering you didn't know he'd left the band...

Not sure I follow, what must've been a positive? I don't believe any of them went to Oxford Uni?
Wat
What are you on about? They went to UCL...
No one should have to go see Boy Genius, let alone pay a mortgage for it.
But girl power
Who the fuck is boy genius lol
@@J.Braxton Ever heard of Google?
I’d sooner listen to boygenius than anything Bloc Party have released in the last 10+ years!
@@dontgoaway0 as the ancient proverb goes, 2 things can be shit at the same time
If Boy Genius were playing on my drive, I'd draw the curtains.
@@torinoscaletunes I'm sure Boygenius are devestated
