I wanted this album to be “poppier” as a whole, but did get to use some variation of this chord progression in the chorus of “Land of Steve-O.” Now, I’m really only focusing on the chorus for the sake of saving space on the internet for more ads, but I believe it was the late but still great Dave Grohl that said, “Don’t bore us, get to the chor-us.” Forgive me if that was never something you said Dave, assuming that you are almost DEFINITELY reading this, but I was told by an old friend who claims to be your friend, so if you must be upset with anyone for being misquoted, email me at and I will tell you myself which friend of yours it was that told me this. This particular song I’ve used as an example, for I feel it portrays this chord progression most beautifully, for a pop song. Preferably, for me, a minor 3rd, major 1st, or minor 6th. Then, next up, anything within 1 through 9 of that pentatonic scale of whatever the major root note of said song is. To be as specific as possible, in obnoxious music theory terminology (as best I can do THAT lol), for the first 2 chords of this progression to start with the minor 2nd, and then switch to the major 5th. There are almost definitely thousands of pop songs with this chord progression as it’s chorus, or at least some variation of it. Quite simply, the chord progression of the chorus is my favorite chord progression that the chorus of a pop song can have.
There’s an article’s worth of reasons as to why I at least think this, but again, I’ll sum this up as best I can. It’s entirely possible that this song actually IS, factually, the greatest pop song ever written and that maybe that it is not just my opinion, man. “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli A lot of anything’s worth is entirely contextual and subjective other than Disco Doom, of course. The rest of this list’s order will have nothing to do with the place it holds in my heart, for I can confidently say that anything and everything that inspires and/or influences me is love by me a more or less equal amount. For buds, my hope was to apply ALL the knowledge and musical love they had bestowed upon me years prior to create the most truly perfect indie pop post grunge rock album the world has yet to hear!!!! I have been blessed and lucky enough to become close friends with them both, and from them learned a few books worth of world knowledge, and a new found love for creating sounds. I chose to start with DD because after 13 years of them remaining my absolute favorite creators of sound (of music), they also seem to remain, in my eyes, of all the world’s song writers, the ones that put more thought and care into what they create than anyone I have at least ever met, heard, or read about. It's a very diverse list of music, and Steve had a lot of interesting stuff to say, and he connects dots between some of these artists in ways you might not have expected.ĭISCO DOOM (the band, as a whole, but also more specifically Anita and Grabriele) Vocalist Steve Hartlett spoke to us over email about the music that inspired it, and it includes everything from Frankie Valli to Bjork to Todd Rundgren to R&B singer Ari Lennox to Japanese hip hop producer Nujabes to 1930s jazz singer Mildred Bailey to bossa nova pioneer Laurindo Almeida to the early 1900s French composer Maurice Ravel, as well as a couple of Ovlov's peers.
The album channels the same '90s indie rock vibe that their previous records do, but '90s indie rock isn't the only thing influencing this new album. "Ovlov have been the biggest band in the world to me since around 2009 and I’m glad everyone else is catching up," Speedy Ortiz's Sadie Dupuis said in a recent Stereogum feature on the band. It's their first in three years, and the band's stature has only risen in the time since their last LP. Another guitar starts to play at 1:16 but I can't quite hear it well enough to tab it.This Friday (11/19), Connecticut indie rockers Ovlov will return with their new album Buds. Song: Fall Down, Never Get Back Up Again Album: Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair Tabbed by: Tapping all the way through.
