    How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

      @alanogy 2 года назад +6

      I'm closer to 70, and haven't found someone I liked this much in a few years. And nobody this fun in 5 years. This is someone who spent his pre-pandemic life becoming the middle-aged and then old guy at the back of a club hearing live music and looking for new sounds. The singer's voice reminds me of cool from every decade. Lou Reed, the Waitresses, Kim Deal. The silliness takes me back to seeing the B-52's or Go-Go's in the early 80's, or to Pixies songs. When rock is mostly dead and something this fun comes along, I'm interested. I found them on TikTok, where they get mocked and trolled by the young, and I don't understand why.
      I just heard them today and am sad to find they played a few miles away week before last. I'd have made this group my first "I'm fed up with the pandemic and going back out" concert.

    I caught "Chaise lounge" on Double J (Oz radio), when it was virtually fresh. Great station with exceptional programmers, with exceptional taste and variety, who regularly introduce me to exceptional artists, and of that lot, Wet Leg are my personal fave of 2021

    They actually pull it off. There's been a few acts in the last decade trying to capture something similar and all have failed and sound just like fluff. This is actually really good quality. Like a non-dissonant Sonic Youth with the slightest modernity mixed in.

    The guitar riff that kicks in just after 5:45 is immense. Love it. The melody reminds me of tune "Crash", it also was female vocal with electric guitar. I gather it was a cover.

    I smiled all the way through this. Finally someone has captured the live brilliance of Wet Leg! Everything about this is superb - the performance, the camera work, the recording and mixing, the editing. You really get to see each band member close up doing their thing and having a blast, and those little glimpses of their personalities. Henry is a monster on drums - but I'm a huge fan of all of them. For me they really were one of the most joyous highlights of 2021. Great work NPR team!! Go Wet Leg!! 💦💦🦵🦵🥒🥒 👒👒
