Am I doing this right?

Back up in your ass with the resurrection, it's the group harder than an erection.

I JUST CAN'T GET THROUGH TO YOU
DESPITE ALL THE WAYS I TRY
OR ANY OF THE THINGS I DO

This is a good thread idea I was just thinking of how hard the phrasing of this song is.

Looooooooooooooooool I forgot Sleaford Mods even existed. I remember being in the local Jobcentre listening to Jobseeker while forging my last two weeks "jobs applied for" section and thinking I was in some quick-cut scene for Trainspotting 2 (it wasn't out yet then and my dreams were young).


This also fits strongly into the category of inimitable delivery in every way:

Captain Beefheart. Damo Suzuki. Grace Slick.

Every Mark E. Smith line ever, but since he's just passed, a personal favorite.

And if I ever end up like U2

- depends on whether you mean "inimitable" like "matchless, peerless, irreplaceable" or if you mean literally impossible to imitate?

- for example, freddy mercury was definitely peerless, but anyone with access to multitracking can imitate him these days. mika made a career out of it

- me, i'm interested in people that *seem* like they'd be easy to rip off, spawn dozens of imitators, and in the end, nobody succeeds in doing it — examples: aaron weiss - mewithoutyou / josh scogin - norma jean, the chariot, '68 / brandon boyd - incubus

- also all these people who started in the late 1990s with fucking weird inflection on vowel sounds — examples: jeff mangum - neutral milk hotel, ben gibbard - death cab for cutie, collin melloy - the decemberists — i pity anyone whose voice sounds like that today because people would just think you were tryna ape their sound

[casecandy]

but just a straight-up answer to your question, darryl palumbo - glassjaw

no one could sound like that without consciously engaging in pastiche that bordered on parody

I want to disagree but...I'm having a difficult time Certainly the tone of his voice can be imitated but I was thinking about his ability to seamlessly get through odd phrasings of songs. But again...multi-tracking

I'm going to try again...talking about the whole package here. The guitar playing + vocals (he did have unique voice) + actual song writing (perfect balance of catchy songs, delivery, and campy lyrics without being silly [later albums EXCLUDED])
