Lockdown 2020: We Be Drummin' 04/15/2021

My phone died causing me to sleep in and miss the first 40 minutes of this stream, which in hindsight probably wasn't a bad thing.

Still some tunes though on this stream (don't @ me).

thank you for continuing with this series Alex! and your continued sacrifice of playing these audio turds.

Here is the spotify playlist for this stream, if that's something you need in your life.

And here is the playlist with all of the songs alex has played during lockdown.

Watching Archer sing 7 Things is really something.

Edited to add 1: My husband hates Vertical Horizon after working in grocery stores and hearing Everything You Want a dozen or so times per shift.

Edited to add 2: Got to Lifehouse and boy does that bring back some memories. My parents were hardcore Christian and as an 10-ish year old this was one of the few bands I was allowed to listen to. I liked them well enough because they were different than the repurposed-for-Christian-pop hymns that were cycled through on the local Christian station every 45 minutes. Anyway, my mom stole my CD and got REALLY into Lifehouse and played it all the time, constantly. They were ruined for little kid me who desperately wanted something different to listen to. Haven't thought about that in a few years.

“Butt rock Quaalude”. Now, that’s a turn of phrase you don’t hear very often.

This was a really fun stream. Alex averaged at least 4-6 looks of absolute disgust per song. Even the Xbox didn’t want to finish this one.

Matchbox Twenty had to walk so Maroon 5 can run you down with their mediocre overproduced mainstream music you're bound to hear as background noise as you walk within a 10 ft. diameter from an American Apparel entrance.

Christian metalcore bands are great.

It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts

holy jesus the "singer" of that second song

I'm never gonna say a bad thing about Cheatin' On The Church.

That Jamey Johnson song, tho.

It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts

trash night best night

wait i'm offended that hozier is on here lol

That bad country block was miserable.

Not all country is bad. But bad country is death.

I can't believe you've done this.

I worked in a tool and die shop in the Midwest for 8 years so I've heard a lot of shitty modern county.

CUT MY JEANS INTO PIECES

I'M GONNA MAKE SOME JORTS

There are 3 songs on this playlist that I enjoy. That's a fair number I think.

Wait, is Savage Garden's I Want You just a boring version of Roxette's The Look?

I'd like to see the next one of these streams make Alex have to say one nice thing about each song.

I do like that when Alex gets mad that a bad song is added to Rock Band, he doesn't just move on, he buys it so that he has to suffer later.

I contend that if Savage Garden's "I Want You" came out sometime between the mid-80's and early 90's it would be much more highly regarded.

I also contend that if anyone says that they enjoy "Cradles", they need to be locked away forever, because that person is a menance to society who surely has some proclivities that a logical person would find horrendous.

Some of these songs sound like the singer is doing a bit

"Whoops, Boner!" should absolutely be the name of a song.

Is this out of sync slightly or is my eyes and brain going bad

I unabashedly dig that barbeque song though, it's got a real That Handsome Devil vibe.

I actually like a few of the Sugar Ray songs...

Btw...Savage Garden has been Jojo reference for a few years, so you have to like it. It's the law.

This one was especially brutal.

I want you is a great, catchy song and the 4th best jojo ed. fight me.

also, i hate to say this, but i like the vibe of 14:59. I legitimately like someday

This might just be my favorite drumming stream you've ever done @alex. I enjoyed vehemently disagreeing with you while alternately also laughing along manically in agreement with you, song after song.

Magnificent

Maybe the world never deserved a "good" version of Last Resort.

Some of those country songs were actually amusing in a Spinal Tap way.

@alex Catching up to this archive, and congratulations on your anecdote on Hautewerk making the Wikipedia citations?

I had this stream on while I was driving home (~1.5 hr each way) from my vaccination appointment. What a time.....
