Colocation America Reviews: Music

Chris     

Welcome back to Colocation America Reviews–where we kinda-sorta “review” things. Maybe. Who knows? Anyways, our topic this week is music!

Q.C.     

I’m a big fan of circus music, I’ll just throw that out there

Samantha     

I listen to everything but I will say that circus music is not the top of my list.

Chris     

That’s an interesting way to start, and a confession that I’m sure you should keep to yourself

Q.C.     

Good enough for The Who, good enough for me!

Samantha     

I mean, The Beatles sang about a Yellow Submarine so…

Chris     

What is it about circus music that you like?

Q.C.     

Mainly the circus aspect of it. I’d give circus music an 8 out of 10

Chris     

Do you listen to circus music on your iPod in the car? I’m just wondering where the context for that would ever come up

Q.C.     

Occasionally

Chris     

If it’s on shuffle

Q.C.     

Yeah

Samantha     

Everyone knows not to shuffle my iPod – they could easily get circus music. I mean, I have the “Golf Boys” singing Oh, Oh, Oh

golf boys do exist

Photo Credit: golfchannel.com

Q.C.     

Let’s, uh, change the subject here

Samantha     

And yes, the Golf Boys are a thing

Q.C.     

Interesting

Chris     

Golf Boys?

Q.C.     

Is this now “Music Confessions?”

Chris     

I am finding out a lot about both of you right now

Samantha     

Yeah, it was like 3 professional golfers

Q.C.     

Out of 10, Sam, how would you rate the Golf Boys? Better or worse than circus music?

Samantha     

Well it’s on my Mini Golf playlist so its a 9.8/10

Chris     

Oh, that’s an interesting playlist that I never want to hear

Q.C.     

Oddly specific, but I respect that

Samantha     

I mean, they repeat “Oh, Oh, Oh”

Q.C.     

Are you the person that has their phone on speaker playing music while you mini golf? Cause those people get a 0 out of 10 in any type of situation

Samantha     

When you run the Mini Golf Course, you can do whatever you want

Chris     

Have the Golf Boys ever been nominated for any music awards? Or have they been recognized by the PGA? Also, what bad decisions in your life lead you to find out about and ENJOY the Golf Boys?

Q.C.     

I assume you mean you just run around the course

Chris     

Q–same question to you, but about circus music

Samantha     

Real Lyric: “you want to hit the ball now”.

Chris     

Of course Rickie Fowler is in it

Samantha     

Of course!

Q.C.     

To answer your question…Um, really just listening to The Who’s best of with that Cobwebs and Strange song and I was like, that’s kind of wacky and fun, so I just went with it

Chris     

Who’s your favorite circus-music artist? Barnham or Baley?

Q.C.     

Hahahaha my favorite circus-music artist is without a doubt Charles Dibdin

the circus music guy

Samantha     

Changing subjects – does anyone have a life “theme song”?

Q.C.

But yeah, let’s, uh, change the subject and answer Sam’s question

Chris     

Ice Cube – “Today Was A Good Day”. Because it perfectly captures my upbringing as a young white boy in the suburbs

Q.C.     

Oh without a doubt

Chris     

I didn’t even have to use my AK

Samantha     

I did not see that coming

Q.C.     

Eminem – “Drips”. Sam?

Chris     

By the way, I’m 100% serious. I love that song

Q.C.     

By the way, I’m 001% serious, I hate that song

Samantha     

In grad school my theme song was “Headlines” by Drake because I loved the line “Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments”

Q.C.     

Hahahaha nice!

Samantha     

I put that line in a paper once too. And this summer my theme song was “Assh*le” by Ben Limpic. I go into phases

Q.C.     

I read that as Limp Bizkit

Chris     

Hahah. Ok, current favorite artist?

Q.C.     

Metallica

metallica is the best

Photo Credit: theguardian.com

Chris     

You can never go wrong with Metallica

Q.C.     

GOAT

Chris     

I’m not even a rock/metal fan but I like Metallica

Samantha     

Really?

Q.C.     

They’re the best

Chris     

They have an amazing catalog

Samantha     

I am digging Jess Glynne right now

Q.C.     

Hmm never heard of her. Recommend any songs?

Samantha     

Yeah, “Hold My Hand” is probably one of her most popular ones. But recently I have had “Dont Be So Hard on Yourself” on repeat

Q.C.     

Yeah, I’ve heard that “Hold My Hand” song before, just never knew who sang it–pretty good! Chris, what about you–Favorite artist?

Chris     

Currently: Chance the Rapper

Samantha     

Do you only listen to rap?

Chris     

Mostly, yes. I also prefer bluesy rock/southern rock. Gary Clark Jr is another great artist

Q.C.     

Music’s great because there’s so many options

Chris     

Dude can play a guitar

Q.C.     

Yeah he can. My buddy loves him, but I’ve never given him a good listen. Mainly because Dave Matthews Band is his favorite band, so I’m slightly judging him (no offense to Dave Matthews)

Samantha     

How do you two feel about Nathaniel Ratecliff?

Chris     

Haven’t heard of Nathaniel Ratecliff

Q.C.     

Me neither. I’m listening to “Look It Here” now, though. Pretty good

Samantha     

Dudes – you are killing me!

Chris     

A cursory glance of Nathaniel Ratecliff tells me I might like him–I’ll check him out

Samantha     

He was at Coachella apparently (it is actually Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats)

Q.C.     

Have you heard of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones?

Samantha     

Yes. Way to pull out the banjo

Q.C.     

Victor Wooten plays for them, and I’ll be damned if there’s a better bassist than he

Chris     

That’s a bold statement that….uhhh, that one guy….might have an issue with (I don’t know bassists)

Q.C.     

There’s also a guy named Spaceman, who is their drummer, but he uses a guitar looking things with buttons that make drum sounds from audio files

Chris

A keytar?  

Samantha     

Our Spiceworks account person would be upset – she plays bass

Q.C.     

Y’all aren’t into hard rock / metal, so let’s just skip my “have you heard” band lol. There’s no way of putting this that doesn’t make me sound like some kind of asshole, but some of the stuff I listen to isn’t for casual listening. Like, “hey check out this song to know the band”, like you can with other genres and that makes me sad.

Chris     

Ahh, that’s rough

Samantha     

Best concert you have ever been at – go!

Chris     

I’m not a fan of concerts. Is that bad? I’ve been dragged to most concerts and end up really not liking them

Samantha     

I agree but if the person is naturally gifted they are amazing!

Q.C.     

The best concert I’ve been to has been Bayside or Bad Religion. Both put on a damn fine show

Samantha     

Best concert – Michael Buble, for sure!

Chris     

All the people I want to see I end up finding out they already came through town after the fact

Samantha     

Well you need to get on that, haha

Q.C.     

The coolest show I’ve been to, however, was Metallica’s “Too Heavy For Halftime” show before this year’s Super Bowl. It was out on AT&T Park in SF, which was pretty cool

Samantha     

On a more real point on concerts, who can afford them anymore?!

Q.C.     

Right!?

Samantha     

I mean, you have to spend over $100 to get good seats

Chris     

Totally. Although, if I could bring up Chance again,–and here’s a good reason about why you should support him–he only makes money from touring and merch. He puts all of his music out there for free. So if you get a chance to see Chance, go support ya boy

Samantha     

Where is he from?

Chris     

Chicago. He met Kanye West so he’s never going to fail.

Q.C.     

Good CHANCE I wasn’t going to pay for his music anyways…. (I’ll see myself out)

Chris     

Heyooooooo

Samantha     

It just got real! Speaking of name puns – is Flo Rida really just Florida?

Chris     

Yes

Q.C.     

Mind was blown when I first figured that out

Chris     

Ok, all-time favorite artist?

Q.C.     

Without a doubt: Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. But seriously, Metallica.

marky mark good times

Photo Credit: hollywoodlife.com

Chris     

They did bring those good vibrations

Samantha     

I do not have one… But the top 5 artists as far as the amount of their music I have is (not in any particular order and I am just guessing): Taylor Swift, Eminem, Joss Stone, Mary J Blige, and, by default, Garth Brooks (long story, haha)

Q.C.     

Garth! Hell yeah!

Chris     

Garth is nice

Q.C.     

I saw Eminem and Rhianna at the Rose Bowl last year. I don’t know why I was there, but I was. She had a Judas Priest shirt on, which I thought was a little strange

Samantha     

Yeah – solid dude! Thunder Rolls – best background music for a song ever! Well Kanye West performed at my High School where he made a fool of himself

Q.C.   

Hahahah Oh, Kanye

Chris     

DON’T YOU DARE SULLY THE NAME OF KANYE WEST. PRAISE YEEZUS

Q.C.     

Is he your favorite, Chris?

Chris     

All-time, yes. Love him. And I will fight anyone that says otherwise

Q.C.     

Do you have a pair of Yeezys?

Chris     

I do not, s**t costs too much

Samantha     

I mean, he said “where is the class of 2005 at?” and 2005 had already graduated…

Chris

KANYE DON’T CARE ABOUT YEARS

Q.C.     

Lmao

Chris     

WHEN YOU YEEZUS YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW WHAT YEAR IT IS

Q.C.     

Kanye invented time, I’ve heard

Chris     

This is true

Samantha     

And then they asked him a question he could not answer so the lovely students of SAMOHI posted the question all over the school the next day.

Q.C.     

He’s the subject of the one of the greatest South Park episodes, too

Chris

Yeah he is! Fishsticks.

Q.C.

Ok, guilty-pleasure artist? Like someone you love, but hate/ are embarrassed to admit.

Chris     

Any 90’s boy band. *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys. No Strings Attached by *NSYNC might be one of the best albums of all time

Q.C.     

No doubt there. Such a cultural impact too

Chris     

Seriously–that whole period was a great time for music. You just had to wade through a lot of shit

Q.C.     

Hahahahah you sure did

Samantha     

I agree. I have every song from the High School Musical trilogy…

Q.C.     

Nice!

Chris     

Ohh, that’s super guilty

Q.C.     

Mine would be Five Finger Death Punch. The name says it all….

Samantha     

We should rename these reviews to: “Why Samantha Wont Find The “One””

Q.C.     

HAHAHAHA oh no!

Samantha     

It’s all good – I just have to sway potential suitors away from these articles

Chris     

Hahahah. Or show it to them and be like, “THIS IS WHO I AM”

Q.C.     

Never apologize, Sam

Chris     

Ever. Ok–Least favorite genre of music?

Samantha     

Sorry Q – metal but more specifically scream. Like can you stop screaming?

Q.C.     

No need to apologize, I don’t like the screaming anyways, but the music behind it is great. I tune it out. Mine’s that crappy hip-hop rap crap. Like that “Work” song by Rhianna. How is that even music?

Chris     

Fun fact: a homeless or just super drunk guy sang “Work” outside of my apartment for around 2 hours on a Saturday night a month ago

Q.C.     

HAHAHAHAH that’s fantastic

Chris     

Except he didn’t know the rest of the words and just kept repeating, “Work work work work work”

Q.C.     

Hahahha there’s other words?

Samantha     

I mean, isn’t that the song? HAHA

Q.C.     

So awful

Chris     

There’s other words, but he mumbled them and got right back to “work”

Samantha     

Does anyone else notice that song titles seem to go in cycles – like all of sudden there are 20 songs out now with “work” in the title

Q.C.     

Ugh. But yeah, songs like that, if there’s a genre attached to that

Chris     

I would say country. I used to be a big fan, actually, but now I haven’t turned on country radio in about 2 years.

Samantha     

Ah country is really just rock now

Q.C.     

Seriously

Chris     

I know hip-hop repeats a lot of the same themes, but at least they do it in an artistic way with metaphors and wordplay. Country is just beating a dead horse

Q.C.     

I heard a country song the other day that had the lyric, “hell yeah I love my truck!”

Samantha     

Well the dude clearly loves his truck!

Q.C.     

And that’s just so awesome to me

Chris     

Exactly! They’re just super blatant about it now with no artistic value

Samantha     

And rock doesn’t exist. Rock is now “alternative”

Q.C.     

*ahem* Metallica still exists….So rock still exists

Samantha     

Aren’t they considered “hard rock”?

Q.C.     

They ARE Rock

Samantha     

The same way that Taylor Swift is no longer country and just pop or Pink started as R&B and then went to rock and is now pop

Q.C.     

I guess so, but they turn up on every rock station or playlist

Chris     

I contend that there is no better “pump up” song than “Enter Sandman” by Metallica

Q.C.     

Yep. “Sandman” is the ultimate pump up, you’re right. Fantastic.

Samantha     

A song just came on my iPod – “That is How You Know You F*cked Up”

Chris     

Well, I think we’re done here. This was a great discussion, and I like seeing all the different musical tastes we have. I think we can all agree on one thing, circus music is horrible. See you next time!

Q.C.     

Chris

Oh god, the horror!
