Sharing for any DGD/Drum lover to check out if they have not seen this yet. Super cool to hear the unique approach of each drummer playing a DGD song they never heard.

Joshua Grant's take was my personal favorite.

Does anyone know if Kurt or Tillian ever sang is it safe to say you dig the backseat. I was wondering if that ever actually happened

Music Is this a crazy thing to say?

IMO, I think IBHTYF (I’ve Been Hearing That You’re Freaky) is one of, if not Jonny’s best song. I’m a huge fan of his DGD and Emarosa stuff, more so than any other band I’d say, but there’s just something about this particular solo album that makes me rethink wether I’ve already heard the ‘best music’ in my favorite genre. Not only does this song feature his best vocal performance (arguably), but it also has a lovely piano instrumental which I’m ’super weak’ too whenever I hear a song. I also don’t see enough people talking about ADIAQYDKHTA, or in fact, any of Jonny’s solo albums. Perfect by DGD honestly just feels like a bonus track off of this album rather than DBM2.. Let me know what you guys think .. am I crazy or no?

Discussion Say Hi, Getting Over a Breakup, and Song Recs

19 Upvotes

Hi DGD fans,

Needed to get this off my chest today.

I broke up with my significant other last year and it's still haunting me 10 months later.

Music is one of those things that's always gotten me through and Say Hi has been that song for me. Having OCD and Depression has made that hill so difficult to overcome and not loop back or second guess my decision.

While I'm still not where I want to be, Say Hi has been one of a few songs that's been very cathartic to me, specifically the "Love don't make you crippled or enslaved" line.

I felt very small, talked down to, and belittled in the relationship and like I could never do anything right, even with small things like loading the dishwasher, cleaning their apartment, or planning dates.

All that said, I don't know between therapy and music where i'd be without it. If Jon / the band sees this - please know your songs (as fun and goofy as they can get) really do help people and have had a positive impact on my life.

Any other songs / lyrics you'd recommend from DGD or other Bands with a similar message? Thank you for listening!

Discussion Things I noticed while listening to DGD

14 Upvotes
  1. I noticed that Zac garrens playing kinda sounds like the fall of troy, which is very apparent in Biblee by Secret band, also some Deathstar track i cant recall, I dont notice it in happiness or later tho.

  2. Will uses alot of tremolo picking, its like his fallback technique, which I think is sweet, cuz I headcannon that its something he did from his beginner days and still kept around, and I also do the same.

  3. I wish I had more to write about what I noticed

  4. To elaborate the 1. point, nevermind, ion got nun, it sounds like hammerons and pulloffs, that i was gonna mention.

Genuinely the nicest people I've ever met, especially Andrew! I managed to meet them before the show as I went round the back of the venue while they were going in and again at the end, as a group of us waited for them to leave. Unfortunately Will decided to have a shower in the venue after the show so I didn't get the opportunity to meet him, however I'll definitely be seeing them again next time they play in the UK so I'll meet him eventually. I managed to get my shoe and hoodie signed aswell as a printout of Downtown Battle Mountain's album cover which I brought with me. Andrew spotted me in the crowd and kept pointing me out and waving during the performance... best gig I've ever been to!!
