I haven't heard of this, and as a long-time Cohen fan, I need to research it.
(Hard to imagine Cohen going "darker" than the dark songs in his back-catalog
)

The only Miley Cyrus song I like.
I wish I could get drunk and have messy, all-night sex right now. Total "after finishing a three-year long project" blues. Too bad then that we only have zero sugar soda pop and my lady love is fast asleep after a few restless nights.
Oh well, fuck it. Repeat that tune, bitch.

The title song is pretty bleak, but yeah, I'd put it about on a level with "The Future".I haven't heard of this, and as a long-time Cohen fan, I need to research it.

Relistening to some of that the other day, while introducing a younger friend to Peter Steele's voice.

I think this might be the prettiest thing ever done with three guitars.

Right as I'm working on a story about a polyamorous character living Mexico
, I stumble into a salsa song about polyamorism:
Essentially a song about, if there are 4 of us, let's just enlarge the room and enjoy.
I ended up doing a slight rewrite to my outline of my story after finding this song. Originally my story ended with my character as an old woman living above a small cafe in city after a happy life with a small quiet family, and giving an interview to a young reporter (that interview being the story).
I revised it to having her living in a large house, and talking about her 3 husbands and 2 wives, but more or less still the old woman with an otherwise quiet life.
Probably going to try and blend those two narratives in the final edit as the second version came out too 'loud' in my draft, and one aspect of the story is that it's a character who starts out famous and then retreats to a calm family to be happy.
As an aside, one of the people in this video visually reminds me of myself in my 20s. I used to get 'passed over' a lot by people who said I was 'too hot to be faithful' - learned after the fact that several people warned others off of me saying I was sure to cheat on them. And then several people I did date dumped be because I was actually 'not wild enough'. The whole of my twenties was trying to convince people I just wanted love and family. But being a 'minority' in the USA means everyone puts you in a box and doesn't give you a chance to show them that's not the right box for you. You aren't an individual, you're just the 'hot latin lover' regardless of whether or not you actually are.
(So if you ever wonder why some supermodel ends up marrying a random geek - that's why. Probably was the first guy to ever treat her like a person. Which is exactly how I ended up with who I married.)
That said, is polyamorism had been a 'norm' when I was younger, I would have tried to find it. I suspect even today it's a very hard lifestyle to achieve because of the difficulty of finding partners who are not put off by it. In my twenties though, people seemed to think it was just below incest on the morality spectrum.

Amaranthe - Crystalline
By now it's no secret that I'm somewhat picky when it comes to my pop metal. Sabaton are boring by now, Powerwolf have told the same joke so often, it's not even funny anymore... And then there's Amaranthe. I did like some songs off their first album (namely Hunger and, to lesser extent, Amaranthine), but their output veered too wildly in listenabilty for my taste. On occasion, they release something I can get wholeheartedly behind though, and "Crystalline" is one such song. Normally, I can't stand this kind of kitschy ballads, but they somehow managed to write a song which reminds me of early Within Temptation, only in much better. Some of the vocals here are simply breathtaking (the male vocalist has INSANE pipes!) and the amount of cringe is minimal. Nice one. The next song we'll hear from them probably has Trap hi-hats and a rap verse.

Bam Bam
I was reading this article about women artists who came up with grunge around the time it broke in 1991. I was listening earlier, so it was not a *huge* surprise when it went national. But yes, it was all about men on the radio: Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, Tad, The Melvins. I recall mentions of women: L7, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, 7 Year Bitch, Babes in Toyland and I liked Courtney Love's Hole record from before she married Kurt. The first woman-fronted band from that era that I really frickin' loved was Mia Zapata's The Gits. I hate that she died, and I hate even more how it happened. But now, here I am reading this article about the female artists forgotten from Grunge's soar to prominence and I hear for the first time about Bam Bam. And damn, unlike the schlock I heard from L7 earlier tonight, Bam Bam is amazing. Not just female-fronted, but fronted by a black woman: Tina Bell. Ya gotta like energy in your music to like hers, but I always have. Ten thumbs up! (I'll all thumbs.)
