the part "if this is a prison im willing to buy my own chain" with the lyrics and peak vocal range of Julien and Phoebe makes me think this is the 3 second best segment of any song ever

@ramahadranhennessy9300 3 жыл бұрын

Georgia yeah, sorry for being a grammarnazi; what she is doing is called (by some) ‘vamping’ (playing few notes and sustaining them over many bars). Shredding refers to a specific way of playing multiple fast notes in sequence, sometimes legato but usually using alternate picking (@30 seconds kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNmcf7WY1bTMmJc.html). Otherwise you just say, colloquially and hypothetically, “...I forgot how well she can ‘play’ (or ‘vamp’[sic])”

Long story long; I found out my wife was cheating on me November of 2018 and spent a lot of time alone listening to new music that wasn't tied to the past decade... I had a coworker at the time who was a huge fan of all 3 of them and posted his Spotify wrapped about the same time and NPR released their Tiny Des. The same time all of these videos released to my internet AND my IRL algorithm put me on to them. Since then I've seen Phoebe with Conor as BOCC, Phoebers solo and Lucy open for Conor/BE.

I hope some time soon Julien Baker takes a break from BoyGenius and does some more solo music. I’m so glad she’s happy with what she’s doing now. She deserves it, but she was, and still is one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century on her own. Don’t get me wrong, I love BoyGenius, but it’s not the same. If we never get any more solo work, we are still blessed with what we have, and what we have is fucking amazing.

Wow! Great performance by Lucy, Phoebe, and Julien. But the cameramen really weren’t with it. I think the drummer *accompanying* them got about the same amount of screen time as the actual band, and it took 20 full seconds at the beginning (a pretty substantial time) before they finally cut to Lucy. Then we kept getting long shots of the drummer and bass player through - instead of the trio. Nothing wrong with showing the back up musicians (heck, they performed well too) but this *is* a boygenius performance.

@Mumumumykul 4 жыл бұрын

idk, the band should get screen time - theyre performing too! i've listened to boygenius for a while and i always wondered who does what, if i'd seen lucy and phoebe and then only julien with a guitar it would've begged a lot of questions. i think they all did a wonderful job and i want to watch them make the beautiful music as it happens. Lucy DEFINITELY should've gotten more shots in this though.
