It's not a crumhorn prog band without a Brian in the ranks

having been to an outdoor music festival over the weekend, these were my takeaways:
* local band that sounded a lot like rage against the machine seemed to have a decent crowd * liz phair (and liz-inspired acts) doing well, even if she was stuck at a 5pm set time in the blazing sun * reasonable number of people watching dressy bessy (?!) although it seemed like a lot of the same people i'd have seen at their show 15 years ago * the entire shtick of crazy shit on stage and spectacle has a mixed reception. portugal. the man were headlining and a younger (early 20s) coworker of mine and some others nearby were confused by instrumental breaks between songs that were covers of pink floyd and metallica. maybe they weren't used to "festival bands" and the whole jammy/play up to a varied crowd thing but the area closest to the stage kind of emptied out by mid-set. some of their shtick was very decade-ago flaming lips and it didn't seem to play with the crowd

Friends posters maybe the most surprising revelation to me! I know it's been on Netflix for ages but it's weird to think that present-day teens would get into that show. I guess the 90s revival is even deeper and broader than I'd realized.

A lot of female psych/folk singers from the late 60s/early 70s have had a real resurgence of interest in the last 10 years - Linda Perhacs, Judee Sill, Shirley Collins etc.

Since the introduction of the latte (via Freinds, really!) the basic bitch lyfe hasn't changed much right? Pop culture slowing down as noted? Maybe posters have soley become signals for habits-of-chilling - zoning out to Breaking Bad or Friends vs Marley-sized spliff vs dropping acid and thinking about light getting split by a prism vs bumming out alone to Unknown Pleasures.

brady bunch is a fascinating comparison since we are now about as far out from Friends's mid-90s heyday than the Brady Bunch films were from the early 70s, and yet it's sort of hard to picture a comical film using the show to send up those silly ways we were back then, etc. etc. not saying that's a bad thing since such a film would likely be unbearable but i do SORT OF buy the idea that Friends would feel enough like the present day to work as low-stakes streaming TV. surely there must be some political or social-mores disconnects...idk... as far as this thread goes tho, i imagine The Rembrandts' legacy is about as secure as ever

when I work out Friends is always on, albeit with the volume off. to me the show is just an endless series of long conversations that end in 2 characters making out

saw this advertised the other day: https://www.high-noon.com/event/9325025/indie-jam-500/ -- perhaps of some relevance to the "jam" part of the thread?

I think Friends kind of functions as an escapist fantasy for millennials: poor twenty-somethings make their way in NYC and everything ultimately works out.

I've seen that band at my go-to bar, it's a bad scene. You see, if you want the hippie bar/restaurant that serves good food until 1am every night of the week and has a constantly changing beer list, you need to withstand the occasional brutal jam band. It's the devil's bargain.

They were hometown 'next big thing' heroes for awhile before they imploded. Honestly a good band that didn't survive the weight of expectations + money + too much touring etc.
The singer is working her solo thing now, really hope it comes together for her.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC844OnP5pM

re Willie -- the Outlaw stuff is obviously enduring, but he did put out some really strong records of original material in the 90s that seemed to have rehabbed his punchline status coming out of the 80s. Spirit would very easily make my top 5 studio records of his, Teatro (ft several re-recordings of pre-Outlaw tunes) is prob top 10. That seemed to goose his image for a while, not mention the near constant touring a la Bob. I haven't really heard or much he's done century besides that T Keith Horses & Beer song; even so he seems firmly ensconced in the pantheon of Country/ Americana. And he still smokes (vapes?) hella weed so he's probably just as known for that with a younger/ not particularly music-obsessed crowd.
