Do you guys ever talk about anything even slightly non-mainstream in the entertainment forum?

I've started several threads that went nowhere.

Most recently Beasts of No Nation -- no responses. Wonderful HBO movie.

I am going to see the Red Hot Chili Pipers. I don't know how punk they are, but I'm guessing there are slightly non-mainstream.

I'm all about classical. I can talk for hours about how the Bolshevik revolution influenced Russian classical composers, but nobody else I know likes classical.

"Real" music has instruments!
I'm so hipster.

I hadn't heard of them, but just Googled them. Where are you going to see them? They aren't punk, but could still be fun. I love bagpipes. There is a guy I know that is putting together a podcast of bagpipe songs. I have to make sure he knows about these guys.

As for Scandinavian death/black metal, I've been listening to Alestorm. Do they count? Also, I was at a meeting at the Fillmore when Ghost was doing their sound check. I hadn't heard of them before that and can't say that I immediately became a fan.

Red Hot Chili PIPERS.

Is classical music mainstream?
Can we talk about Gregorian chants?

If you want to talk about niche interests, I would recommend sites geared specifically for those interests. Go find your people!

I listened to a couple tracks. Good stuff. Nice textures.

I love you. Now, next up. The LP Forest television, by Lesbian. That'll keep you busy. ?

Will check out tonight. Setting a reminder!

Where do you go to shows? Where are the best venues for local and underground bands?

Am planning on watching. Pretty sure it's a Netflix movie, not HBO.

They are playing at Hershey, and in Delaware and maybe in Philadelphia. We enjoy bagpipes too and every band should have a few. And I made a mistake, they are Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

I can discuss Cascadian black metal! But I do especially like some doom.

Have you listened to Windhand?

Yes!

Honestly, I live in Seattle now, so I'm not much help there. There's a pretty decent underground metal movement in Richmond!

I realize I mentioned several west coast bands, and Yob is my favorite of the bunch atm, but also Samothrace is absolutely amazing. Weaving, psyche style guitar work, very emotional, growling, heartfelt vocals. In New York there's White Hills, a psyche metal band with an impressive output of albums over the years.

I'm not a Ghost fan and don't understand the hype.

Ever hear Graves at Sea?

I posted on your thread - I love the Mahones.

I also started a thread about the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 remake. It didn't get many replies, but I wasn't expecting that many.
