Re: What's Everyone Listening to?
i didn't know anything about the guy before i shot his set at Boston Calling last year and by the response of the teenage girls crammed at the rail, screaming and crying, tears rolling down their faces - well, you would have thought it was the Beatles in '64. it was pretty insane.

Re: What's Everyone Listening to?
Holy shit! This guy's got 6 songs, SIX, with more than 100,000,000 listens on Spotify alone. One has had over 600,000,000! And I never heard of him until this thread. He's now in the cue because SIX but i have no idea who he is or what he sounds like.tinnitus photography wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 1:32 pmi didn't know anything about the guy before i shot his set at Boston Calling last year and by the response of the teenage girls crammed at the rail, screaming and crying, tears rolling down their faces - well, you would have thought it was the Beatles in '64. it was pretty insane.brettac1 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 5:12 pmI like him but yeah it's nothing earth-shattering.Mundane Mayhem wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 11:17 am
I was trying to see what all the hype was about with this record and just couldn't. It's passable and inoffensive.

Decoration Day - Front to back for the first time in a long time. Not bad.

Re: What's Everyone Listening to?
Three songs (w/ a total of over a billion listens) in and I'm clueless and near the end of my patience and willingness to sacrifice for music. If this stuff makes teenage girls cry I don't know who I feel more sorry for, teenage girls or teenage boys. But I fully acknowledge that I am not the intended audience.beantownbubba wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 2:00 pmHoly shit! This guy's got 6 songs, SIX, with more than 100,000,000 listens on Spotify alone.

My apologies to all the musicians who did not get my .003 cents while i listened to this.
PS While now being 5 songs in, I have now learned that Noah has over 37 million monthly listeners on Spotify, is from VT (damn, I really want to root for him), has garnered "global renown" and has sold out an upcoming (currrent?) stadium and arena tour. He also describes himself as having a "self-deprecating sense of humor." There's got to be a word for that. Not exactly an oxymoron. Not quite hubris. Not literally delusional. But maybe some combination.

Heve you checked out real estate prices in Watertown lately?tinnitus photography wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 3:27 pmhe now lives in watertown, but w/ all those spotify checks rolling in, he might be your neighbor soon.
BTW, my comments on Kahan probably came across as more negative than I intended. I was comparing what I was hearing to the numbers and other evidence of popularity/hype I was reading about and it seems like a large gap. But as to the music itself I think mundane mayhem pretty much nails it with "passable and inoffensive."

Anyhow I can typically appreciate catchy folk-pop and that's basically what he makes. Then he did a collab with Zach Bryan as well so then he kind of crossed over further with some of that audience.
