Hi! I'm Harrison and I like to make videos. I mainly discuss indie music, hip hop, and a few other things. My videos are a blend between the "video essay" and "commentary" formats: a voiceover, video clips, transitions, and a little bit of me talking, too. My main goal is to share lesser known music with people and inform them of stuff they might've missed. The name, "Alfo Media", is short for "Always Forward Media". A short, memorable name that represents some of the themes of this channel. New videos every Tuesday and Friday (most of the time). Thanks!
Do you listen to the Mountain Goats? The writing is just so deep that I feel like you would really love them. Songs like Sax Rohmer #1, Autoclave, How to Embrace a Swamp Creature, and pretty much every other song 😅
I don't think its too odd to say you like the sound of a specific record label, if its a smaller one anyway. Indie labels a lot of times have their own roster that people tend to listen to. I'm old so I remember getting indie record label compilation CDs for cheap that gave you a taste of all their artists. It wasn't weird to say you were into Sub Pop artists, Discord Records sound, Hyperdub, etc.
L take. Saying that Em's subsequent albums after Relapse were bad? My G, Kamikaze and MTBMB are great. MMLP2 is also not rated as high as it should be. Tired of the boring, old Em = better takes. L
Greetings from Spain. Regarding "Macarena," since you're not spaniard, the crux of the joke has gone over your head. Macarena's boyfriend's "last name is Vitorino". Vitorino is one of Spain's leading fighting bull ranches. Now you're thinking about hornes, "cuernos". And in Spain, to wear/have hornes means to have been cheated on. So here, if your name is Vitorino EVERYBODY is gonna think about bulls, so about horns and finally about you being cuckolded.
i can't pick favourites but here are some cool ones that i've been listening lately :) Sade - Love Deluxe Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (irecently bought it on vinyl) Slowdive - Souvlaki Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising Portishead - Dummy
In my opinion, Eminem with relapse basically like released one of the best Detroit horrocore rap albums of all time and was actually the album that made me really appreciate the way he thinks and his rhyme schemes where some verses keep the same one rhyme going for the entire thing etc etc
The Vapors’ Turning Japanese is, according to the songwriter, about “all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect” but everyone thinks it’s about jerking off. You don’t get more misunderstood than that.
I found so many songs that I love now and have listened to hundreds of times from your original your original video and I’m so excited to find some more this time around
I have very diverse musical tastes and you've opened me up to some new artists. Time for me to listen to this playlist and hopefully come back with some new appreciations.
Maybe I’m in the minority, but I like all of Em’s albums. Are every song he’s made perfect? No. But I’ve never not enjoyed his rhymes and artistic expression. I listen to all of them still.
Thank you so much this is spectacular. This stuff reminds me of the spirit that I love in The Flaming Lip’s early albums! I’m sure to find some inspiration here!
Omg if you like prog rock mixed with your metal, please check out Opeth they are easily my favorite band ever. Specifically the album Damnation, it’s a really pretty soft rock album they made in the middle of this insane run of absolutely wild, groundbreaking progressive death metal projects and Damnation is one of the softest and most somber things I’ve ever heard. Great list too!
Dude, when you dropped the first video 5 years ago you introduced me to “acolyte” by slaughter beach, dog. You singlehandedly shaped my 15 year old brain and it’s been with me for every big or small moment since. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Know I’ll find some new favs here too.
