Hey MinnTraxers, What's your favourite Bond theme?

Infinite

Good morrow Trakkies, I would love to know your thoughts regarding determining your personal “favorite record/album”. Is it by your favorite artist? And if so, what determines what makes it your favorite album? Is it that you love the album as a whole, or simply that it contains 2-3 of your all time favorite songs from that band/artist? Super excited to hear from Kirk in particular! That Triple Click intro slaaaaaps. Love y’all and the show.

Hallelujah seems to find new life over and over again but I think Jeff Buckley really creates the best atmosphere with his cover. The reverb and delay suggest that he is playing all by himself in a large empty room. I love what this does for the storytelling of the song. It's like he wants to sing this (as evidenced by his absolute belting and holding that note for 45 minutes) but this is the last time he will practice the song, to work up the courage to belt that shit, but there is no audience to work off of, no production crew. The atmosphere created by Buckley is astonishing in that it feels like you snuck into this private session. When he mutes his guitar strings immediately after the ascending and decending bass lines it reinforces this atmosphere because the reverb is still ringing but the notes themselves are stopped and it is like he is testing the limits of his passion to play the song, flirting with the idea of letting his guitar go out of his control. As someone who plays music, this is why I love this his version the most. Here is my song submission https://play.google.com/music/m/Ttnqgbsb6y2ga4thej5nycbqm4e?t=Right_Now_feat_Syd_-_Dirty_Projectors

Do either of you listen to house, dubstep, trance, techno, drum n bass or is dance music completely lost on you? I got really into dance music after high school and still love it. For my peer group the love for dance music resembles the love for metal for people who came of age in the 90s. Thanks love the show!

https://metalinjection.net/av/new-music/panopticon-streams-folky-new-song-the-pit Hello music loving cohorts. How much do you let the behind the scenes or backstory of a song or album effect how you feel about any particular song or album positively or negatively if you know it? As with my community pick Panopticon - The Pit even though I already liked Panopticon before and just the song itself is a good one knowing the story behind how it was made escalates ot too a whole new tier of emotional imo.

What's a song that brings back special memories for you guys? For me is Sex and Candy by Marcy's Playground. When I hear it, it takes me back to a really fun summer in my youth where it seemed like every time I got in the car that song was playing.

Michael Archer

Hey there Trackstars, would you consider artists such as Aphex Twin, Daft Punk, Nicolas Jaar, or other such electronic producers the most prominent thing that modern music has to what would previously be considered composers from phases of music way back in time? If so, would this apply to any type of modern music producer? Thanks for doing what you guys do.

As a former tuba player, I have a special affinity for brass bands. Here’s a great example: 3AM Bounce by the No BS! Brass Band

Music lovin’ cohorts, Do you feel that Jeff Buckley’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah” helped push that song to be as famous as it is or would it have been as regardless? Thanks, Queso

Jason, Matt, and Kirk, What is your desert island album? For me it’s Jeff Buckley’s Grace. That album has the perfect balance of both soft and rocking songs and an incredible amount of dynamic range that would keep me happy for a long long time. Thanks, Queso

Jason Dafnis

Jeff Buckley called his own cover of "Hallelujah" "the hallelujah of the orgasm". What the hell does that mean?

Jason Dafnis

I think I really like Big Thief's album "Two Hands," but that doesn't stop me from calling it "Big Queef's album, 'Poo Hands.'" Please respond.
