Two songs. One waitress. A world of difference.
Live’s “Waitress” turns a bad tip into a spiritual crisis.
Hop Along’s “Waitress” stays small — and cuts deeper.
A tale of post-grunge grandstanding vs. indie self-incrimination.

Two Waitresses and No Tip: Live’s Grunge Sermon Vs. Hop Along’s Indie Confessional

Hop Along’s “Waitress” (2015) gives Live’s 1994 song of the same name a run for its tip money. Both songs take place in that charged, transactional space between customer and server, and both flirt…

“I was thinking a lot about my reluctance to access my own power”

What do you get when you mix a Grateful awakening, a WWI podcast binge, and the existential dread of male power structures?

#HopAlong's #FrancesQuinlan breaks down the kaleidoscopic weirdness of Bark Your Head Off, Dog — from fade-outs to cheerleader chants and the heartbreak of being heard too late.

Hop Along | the PROPAGANDA site

Hop Along is an indie band from Philadelphia led by singer-songwriter Frances Quinlan, whose quirky off-beat songs are often wrapped into a more indie pop friendly packaging. Up front and center in their sound is Quinlan's slightly raspy and scratchy vocals that carry a lot of the load. Their singing style bears not so subtle hints of emo influences underneath. The rest of the band does a great job at keeping the arrangements lively and inspired with their choices that never quite take the center stage but make themselves heard through a nice guitar lead here, a shift in the rhythms there. This happened more often early in their career when their records had more of a DIY attitude and bigger indie rock footprint compared to the relatively more mainstream approach they developed later.

December comes to an end!

The HopAlong Fractal is rather peculiar, it's not too easy to alter the function without loosing it's filling-plane-property. In my last big Video I manage to switch it up a little.

For @GeePawHill I'd like to think that Hop Along is occasionally possessed by the spirit of Janis Joplin. https://open.spotify.com/track/2tQwRXBocyCGlDUpa4fRSa?si=14ca3075338c4df6 #janisjoplin #hopalong Random music observation tonight.

Now the law has buried me many many times
I don't wanna go back, go back
Do do dodo dodo do dodo dodo do dodo dodoo"
