Alternative Then And Now: Current Bands And Their Descendents

Pearl Jam and Arcade Fire

Pearl Jam and Arcade Fire

Everything old is new again. Or something like that. And everything in music has been done before.

And if you’ve got a big enough record collection, you can actually trace the genelogical lines between artists a couple decades remove. Which is exactly what Aaron did in an article called Alt-Rock Then And Now: Connecting The Classes Of 1992 And 2012.

The story is exactly what it sounds like. Massive Attack were compared to The Weeknd, Pearl Jam to Arcade Fire, Jesus And Mary Chain to Crocodiles, etc., etc.

Six Extremely Detailed Descriptions Of Rock Musicals We’d Like To See

Scenes From American Idiot, The Musical

Scenes From American Idiot, The Musical

There’s been a lot of talk in the Risky Fuel household over the years about things like Pippin, Cabaret, and Hair. All of it by Sarah.

She’s moderately obsessed with musicals and has crafted a number of fake ones in her head. It would seem the enablers at AUX TV thought it would be cute to set her loose and reveal some of these ideas. The result: storylines for musicals about Bon Jovi, Arcade Fire, Rush, The Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre, Joel Plaskett, and the topper, a gay love triangle called Heavy Metal: The Musical set to Judas Priest songs.

You can read all about said musicals by clicking here.
