I just absolutely love Lanegan's role in Songs for the Deaf.

He's not there for most of the album (only on 4 songs in total), and only on vocals when he is, but it's like he's just chilling throughout, and when it's time, it's like Homme realizes he needs to unleash the beast on some tracks. Notice how the darkest tracks on the record are sung by him.

Not to mention the spoken word monologue on A Song for the Deaf, that's the climax of the album. Chills.

He's a huge presence that is summoned when needed to, kills it, goes "alright", and leaves. That's how his role on this album feels like to me, and I love it.

Queens of the Bone Age - No One Knows

HAPPY HALLOWEEN BABY DUCKS

To celebrate, my band (Hyperchicken) decided to play a house gig and pay tribute to a band we each adore…I think you know the one! Boney skeleton theme added for extra spookyness, naturally

Forgive some of the mistakes here, these songs ain’t easy to play for a full set! But we had a blast, and by and large I’m very proud of the boys for making it all happen

I’ll share more videos soon!

Ordering merch from UK store - if you're from EU, beware

Ordered the era vulgaris t-shirt from UK store, paid for it + tax + shipping. Today I received a message from customs that I have to pay tax yet again (I'm from EU). Apparently, the seller didn't declare the IOSS code. Maybe its a specific case, but I'll be thinking twice before ordering merch again. I'll also send this message straight to the merch store, hopefully they can fix this.

How does the "top x% of listeners" thing work? I didn't think I listened to that much.

I listen to Queens quite a bit as they're one of my favorites, but I didn't think 30-45 minutes of listening time in an 8hr work day would put me at the top like this.

What to listen to next…

Songs for the Deaf is probably a top 3 album for me. I’d easily say the whole QOTSA back catalogue would be scattered across my top 25.

Having been relentlessly blasting SFTD over the past week or so, is there anything else out there, by any band, which would be similar? Mainly First It Giveth/Go With The Flow vibes.

Thanks in advance!

No Queens November… pt. 1

NSFW for blasphemy in the title.

I listen to a lot of Queens and need to get some fresh stuff in the rotation. Looking for 2-3 albums a week for November to give some new things a chance!

Comment an album you love and the top 3 upvoted that I haven’t heard already, I’ll give a spin this week. Next week I’ll come back with a review if y’all are interested.

For reference, some bands/artists I love or am into heavily right now: Zeppelin, Sabbath, Slomosa, The Sword, Snarky Puppy, Kendrick Lamar, Billy Joel, Cake, Wu-Tang.

Transcendentalism?

Sorry for the title lmao. So I’m making a project about transcendentalism (basically reject society and turn to your roots, nature/all you will ever need to know in life is found in nature) based on …Like Clockwork. Seems easy enough, but I feel as though I could connect ANY one of those songs to the concept, and I can only choose 1 per the 4 principles of the philosophy. If you had to pick one off the album, what would it be?
