Some singers' speaking voices sound completely different than their singing voices which is fine but a thing I appreciate about the everclear guy is there's zero daylight between the two. He can be talking about where to go for lunch and it's like bro are you singing one of your b sides rn
Jim Adkins too
Zach De La Rocha
Always think of that Pavement song.
Friend of mine, tell me where should we go, do you feel like italian or you want poke bowls
Father of mine Take me back to the place Back before we had the poke bowl Back before you got a steak
At that really good BBQ place, In a Black neighborhood (oh yeayuhh)
This feels too specific not to have happened.
Friend group of mine, how do you want to pay, should we keep it all together here or should we split it three ways
He ordered a salad with romaine… and he WALKED AWAY
“YEAHH-UH!”
I read this in his voice with some grungy guitar sounds playing in my head
(dun dun dundundundun dun dun) Yeah! (dun dun dundundundun dun dun) Ooooo I could really go for that. (dun dun dundundundun dun dun) Yeah. (dun dun dundundundun dun slide)
Whaaaaaa-ohhh, Feelin’ like a nice tac-o
accurate and evocative. like the jumping hi voltage tower gif
Max, that's a banger.
Buddy of mine, tell me where do you sleep, I just saw you got locked out of your Airbnb
put avocado on my toast it costs twelve dollars on the west coast
we could eat beside the ocean if we wait in line pay eight bucks for french fries feel my soul die
Fontaines DC, Arctic Monkeys.. authentic
always startled me hearing a british singer talk for the first time when their singing was very american sounding
So much this.
On the other hand you have Shaggy.
I prefer he just keep his mouth shut all the time.
The thing bothering me most about this entire convo is everyone’s saying “the dude from…” and not saying names. Lol
dylthiabs
It's the only way to be everything to everyone.
"Where should we go for lunch now that my daddy left me behind?"
🎶 i will buy you a coffee With my Starbucks points 🎶
The most jarring to me is when I hear a British person sing and they have no accent whatsoever and then you hear them talk and they have the heaviest British accent ever.
It makes you realize how much of an accent is driven by intonation
Yeah, watch the curly fries.
So there’s no difference between Art and Performance Art?
Very very good
Peak humor.
My brain did it, not me.
Art Alexakis is an American treasure. And one of my favorite songwriters.
I’m obsessed with a pizza bigger than the pan
My favorite is Wayne Coyne. Holy shit dude.
Feel like cracker guy prolly is probably like that too
🎶 I really recommend the... Pho From the strip mall down by the thrift store I really think I like the seeeeeafooooood But a lot people... like the beef🎶
🎶They also got some killer crab Rangoon The dipping sauce is sweet but with a tart tang I don't wanna take up all your time I don't want to lead you astray when you want lunch I wanna help some local fooood joints Chain restaurants keep making them disappear 🎶
🎶 You can eat down at the bistro Get some coq au vin Head down to the brewpub Get some lambic in You can eat down at the bistro They have good onion soup Head down to the brewpub Mead will knock you for a loop🎶
🎶 I am still dreaming of su-shi It's really filling but it takes some time to feel I could also show you great pizza Makes me think of the kind you get over in New York🎶
🎶I hear the secret is their water Something that's in it makes the dough chewy I don't wanna hear 'bout deep dish You'd do better having a Chicago dog🎶
🎶 You can eat down at the bistro Get some coq au vin Head down to the brewpub Get some lambic in You can eat down at the bistro They have good onion soup Head down to the brewpub Mead will knock you for a loop🎶

What about the voice of Geddy Lee?
It is angelic. Further questions?
Is there even a single other artist that has a voice like that? *maybe* weird al?
🎶Appetizer of mine... where have you been?🎶
I feel this way when I listen to Claudio Sanchez sing. Very unique.
See also: The Waterboys guy.
I could go for some tacos, Maybe birria style, I could go for a corn dog, Haven't had one of those in a while!
Haha yea great songwriter but not a lot of range to be sure. His bassist Craig Montoya is cool as can be. Great player.
Waylon Jennings had that as well.
Art Alexakis and I both have MS and I think we're doing pretty well!!!! PS: I love his voice too!
Gomer Pyle's Jim Nabors
Big BIG difference. I think he played on that when he'd headline in Vegas.
I will buy you a sandwich
You make me feel like a s'more!
Yeah, I once thought he was going to buy me a big house. Thought I was about to move up to the west Hills. Turns out it was just soundcheck
eve 6 guy: IDK, what about Guisado’s? everclear guy: never been here, never comin back eve 6 guy: …
Trent Reznor could be talking about home insurance and you’d still think he wants to fuck you like an animal.
…would switch home insurance companies immediately. A+ sales pitch.
I like that people have voices
I like that guy because he became a rock star at like 40 years old. It's a reminder that there is still life after 30, and that inspires me as I traverse my own 40s.
Also some of his songs make me cry and shit, and not many do that.
I was listening to Dead Moon today and thinking about this. They waited until their kids graduated high school before forming one of the best heavy rock bands of the era. And then kept doing it into their 70s. Fucking cult legends.
Art Alexakis is an amazing human.
Macy Gray
Swim out past the breakers... I'll have a ham on rye...
So true!
Played cleo for my girls in the car yesterday ❤️
Awwww! Thanks Eve 6! 🪐
This just reminds me of the Pavement lyric: "What about the voice of Geddy Lee How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy? I know him, and he does And you're my fact-checkin' cuz"
actually he sounds like a very old man
Santa Monica. Everything is Wonderful now. On every playlist since the 00s.
I will buy you that big house, way up in the West Hills, Holy crap that's expensive, we'll have to live in Sellwood (yeeaahh)
We could eat down at Le Pigeon, watch the diners cry (yeeaahh)
Rufus Wainright's like that; you hear him talking in an interview and you're like "hey, that's Rufus Wainright".
used to listen to his sirius/xm show and yeah. zero daylight
Do you guys have plans to swim out past the breakers and watch the world die?
I imagine John McCrea is the same
Wait are you not that guy
tom waits shines at this
We sail tonight for Singapore, we’re all mad at the customs guy here.
The Hold Steady too. Craig Finn just be talking about his life
You both sang on the same stage in Rochester MN the last couple years. Loved both shows!!! I love your posts so much. Keeps things light during this hellscape called 2025.
😂🩵
I like Miley Cyrus singing but her speaking voice I don't like.
hot take to the miley cyrus spoken word abstract slam poetry fandom
And then there’s guys like the dude in Bush who sing like they’re from the NOVA DC suburbs and then they talk and it’s all oy spotta tea mayte cricket queens brexit bollocks
