The Definitive 2015 Undercard Thread

It's daring yet also terrible. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Making an album of unlistenable garbage isn't daring, it's substituting a difficult listening experience for actual creativity. It's the height of making something terrible then saying "you just don't get it" when people tell you how bad it is.

Better four song runs from albums in 2014? I mean, I could pick any four songs in a row from an album that's actually good, but here are a few examples:

Press, Mumble, Dry, Clear: Whirr, Sway
Heard About You Last Night, Simon Ferocious, Remurdered, Hexon Bogon: Mogwai, Rave Tapes
pretty much any run of four songs in a row: Warpaint, Warpaint
Can't Do Without You, Silver, All I Ever Need, Our Love: Caribou, Our Love
What Goes Around, Carry On, The Thrill is Back, the Imperial: Statik Selektah, #whatgoesaround
if you take out "Money Man," then you can pick any 4 song run: the 2 Bears, The Night is Young
The Satanist, Ben Sahar, In the Absence of Light, O Father O Satan O Sun!: Behemoth, the Satanist
Power to the People, Unicorn, Never Say Never, We Are Not Alone: Basement Jaxx, Junto

...but I mean really, I could keep going. It doesn't really matter, you like the album and that's terrific, that's all that really matters. I was just so surprised to hear multiple people exclaim their enthusiasm for this record, particularly in terms of calling it the best of the year. I don't know that I've seen anyone show anything more than a "well, he tried" sentiment echoing in the positive on this one, so I was stunned at the response.

It would be neat if Rx Bandits came back to play Bonnaroo since they have a new album out and have played a festival since its release. The last time they were at Bonnaroo was 2007 and that was when they still were defined as Ska.

It's Prog Rock.

If they do this and don't include Alanis Morissette, I'll pretty pissed to say the least

Seeing Alanis there would be so awesome I must say

Pianos Become The Teeth.

I saw Rx Bandits at Riot Fest in Chicago and I must say they have an awesome sound crew because they sounded amazing for a band that was in the beginning of the day. I know everyone wants their favorite band to be at Bonnaroo, but Rx Bandits would be an awesome addition to the lineup even if it was a Thursday afternoon performance. 

Their earlier stuff is definitely closer to ska, though they've kept that influence in their later releases. Their '07 set wasn't all that ska heavy if you're talking about tracks off of Progress or earlier. They'd be great to have back, though.

Id really like to see either of these guys on the undercard

to give you an idea, in 2008 he played the superjam with gogol bordello and they did tom waits covers.

The Les Claypool/Gogol Bordello superjam was so bad it damn near killed the whole concept.

Really?  There was not a big crowd because of the MMJ set, and it started late but the music itself and the show was pretty good.  I am a Waits fan to start with so that helps, but I am not sure why this show gets so much hate.

Chic feat Nile Rodgers ON TOP of it being a superjam would seriously blow every other superjam out of the water, nothing realistic could compare. Though I drool over the idea of Grohl leading a Nirvana superjam (or just garage/grunge in general)

I dunno. If you're talking about all time SuperJams that lineup Jim James had and Questlove bringing D'Angelo out of hiatus were pretty spectacular. Wouldn't A Chic with Nile Rodgers SuperJam just be A Chic with Nile Rodgers performance. I guess they could have guests and call it a Disco SuperJam.
