Would love to get into these old genres!
spectrum pulse look like a fall out 4 npc waiting for you to respond
Recommending two locals: Chi Lameo and Jimmy Rowe. Stoner country blues from South Wales.
Just watching Anthony’s side while spectrum pulse talks is terrifying
I actually really appreciate this video because I like a lot of older country and kind of didn’t know about this kind of more contemporary country.
Zac Brown is real bottom of the barrel shit. That album might be better than some of their other garbage, but I’ve heard Sweet Annie, which at its best is just regurgitation with some clunky lines thrown in.
Someone better check out Railroad Earth if there’s going to be more of these. Todd Schaeffer is a fantastic and egregiously unnoticed lyricist, and their lyrics capture a lot of what is actually real about the country, rather than just listing country-sounding objects (as Zac Brown and the rest of the garbage country musicians do) or with an exaggerated twang.
MELON. MAKE A MODERN FUNK STARTER PACK. I COMMAND YOU
My two favourite music reviewers. Everyone sleeping on Spectrum Pulse
wtf is wrong with this spectrum pulse guy he got cerebral palsy or something??
edit: oh shit now i’m wondering if he actually does have some kind of disability…
Mark actually has magnetic hands. Very rare.
how have you not talked about childish gambino this is america??
spectrum pulse more like my hands are constantly orchestrating
Golden Hour, sorry melon. But this a great starter pack due to the whole “I listen to everything except country” ideology that’s been prevalent recently.
Country and Rap will solve the partisanship issue of America
This dude is like what do I do with my face.
i fuck wit how laid back anthony is and this buhl looks like he’s tweaking lol love to both channels been watching both for years
Brandy Clark
I despise contemporary country
no Chris Stapleton? ):
Kind of lame how Anthony doesn’t seem completely engaged in the conversation at times. I’ve seen him do it before, like at points in this video he seems to just be waiting for his turn to talk or even just checking other shit on his computer, and I even saw him on his phone at one point lol like? Am I watching Spectrum Pulse channel or Fantano’s? Spec is like totally paying attention and engaged the entire time I love it. Just something that throws me off.
Why is modern mainstream country music so bad? What’s wrong with that industry?
in my opinion country music has seen a sharp decline since the 70s and almost any modern piece will likely be outclassed by one of the many classic songs. Just think, yodel boy got famous performing a song written in 1922 then re-performed in 1949 by Hank Williams, not by some Garth Brooks trash. The older songs just have more rustic character and patina that you’re really not going to get from today’s artists.
i just cant get into contemporary country.. mostly because of the specific sound and voice that i often hear there
Thankkk Gooodddd UNCAGED IS ON HERE
This will be a hard listen for me, Imma try though. Outlaw country and punk country has always interested me, but like it’s better looking from a far. Like fr, I’ll stick with my folk-punk and be fine lmao.
how woke do u have to be to be able to listen to a variety of guys singing about trucks and dirt roads over acoustic guitars and actually determine which ones are better than the others
This other dudes facial and eye movements give me some heebie jeebies
Man, I feel like it’s plain as day that Anthony doesn’t know shit compared to Mark when it comes to modern country. I’ll try checking out this Lydia Loveless album.
Love this idea. I like Mark’s point about quality pop-country at the moment. Jon Pardi is great. Midland too. Carrie Underwood is more good than bad. For the most part, though, country radio and quality country music have pretty much split ways, with few exceptions, like Zac Brown Band (most of the time.) So glad Mark pointed out Cody Jinks and Lydia Loveless. And, controversial opinion…… I liked Sturgill’s debut High Top Mountain more than Sailor’s Guide!

jpegmafia is an interesting choice anthony
No Turnpike Troubadours? 🙁
