Because everything is terrible I& #39;m going to do a thread of music from one of my favorite 90s bands that you& #39;ve almost certainly never heard of unless you lived in Chicago in the early 90s (like I did), The Coctails. They were wonderfully weird. https://youtu.be/cOamdyQnSwk ">https://youtu.be/cOamdyQnS...
Their live shows were a trip. They had a theremin, a banjo, electric guitars, a vibraphone, and horns. And all the band members played all of the instruments. They would switch up between every song. I think I was at this particular show. https://youtu.be/LYNbfzV4i8o ">https://youtu.be/LYNbfzV4i...
In one show they would veer between grunge mumblecore kind of stuff like this. https://youtu.be/RKtW7Y6OE5o ">https://youtu.be/RKtW7Y6OE...
To goofy sendups of early 60& #39;s moptop pop. https://youtu.be/IlRfoutiUsg ">https://youtu.be/IlRfoutiU...
Next song would be a mixture of 50s lounge music and Klezmer sax. https://youtu.be/ank-KDSw4aI ">https://youtu.be/ank-KDSw4...
Next would come an earnest ballad with standard rock band instrumentation. https://youtu.be/OBRFE5-Y7zU ">https://youtu.be/OBRFE5-Y7...
Then an upbeat rocker with a New Wave or post-punk kind of feel. https://youtu.be/Y-LKjxzvYHU ">https://youtu.be/Y-LKjxzvY...
Then we& #39;d go back into a klezmer/punk song about an annoying driver. https://youtu.be/LVZMOMgORTw ">https://youtu.be/LVZMOMgOR...
I was always partial to their slower, more contemplative and atmospheric instrumentals, like this. https://youtu.be/2NmFo_CVzhk ">https://youtu.be/2NmFo_CVz...
Or this. https://youtu.be/8gt4mf07NbM ">https://youtu.be/8gt4mf07N...
