Hey Qman, nice to have you return again! I feel like I’m too old to properly evaluate Gold Panda, plus I just took a turn, but I hope the thread stays active for a bit

Good to see you too! It’s been a very busy few months since my last visit, but I’m hoping to spend a little more time around these parts. But absolutely give Gold Panda a go, you’re never too old for good music! Well, at least music that I think is good..

Interesting mix of sounds, nice incorporation of Eastern instruments; those, plus the jarring tape edits continually interrupting the groove, are basically straight from Yoko’s (& JohnKlausRingo’s) POB album and redone for the computer age. Neat. Turn it up one notch please.

Offline Definite choice for “Turn it down” here:
On the Be Here Now album, myth and reality collided for Oasis, and they stopped any attempt to develop their own identity and turned their Beatles obsession into pretentious parody. Noel Gallagher at this time even referred to this song by saying, “Imagine how much cooler Hey Jude would be with three key changes.” Well, that would’ve turned it from a classic to thoroughly obnoxious.

Offline Haha, there’s virtually no chance I’d ever give O’Aces a “Turn up” – to my ears, they range from “turn down at least one” to “unplug the stereo now”…but I actually found myself enjoying the chorus’ ascending chords, some of the guitar-gnarls, and even their attempt at “Hey Jude /Isn’t It A Pity ” epic-ism. Too bad Gallagher (Noel? Liam? who cares) is still the worst singer ever, or a contender. 
Leave it where it is.
