Quick Patreon Poll
At this stage in the journey, you guys on Patreon are now the driving force for what I cover.
As far as I'm concerned, you guys are the core audience, I appreciate you more than you could ever know, and I want to create what you guys want to see (within reason, no one wants to watch a reaction of me hating the music)
So, outside of new music that makes sense to cover, the output on here and the channel will be driven by you. I appreciate there are a lot of people on here and lots of different tastes, but I will follow my heart as I've always done and listen to the guiding wind of the audience on here.
So that all being said... Turnstile reaction this week?

do what u wanna do, king

When are we getting glockaveli for the summer whip.
I definitely am most keen to see you dive back into metal. I don't think you are alone in not feeling a connection to the newer waves of hip hop. When I first started watching you, it was because I wanted to see people react to Rodeo by Travis Scott, or DS2 by Future, or House of Balloons by The Weeknd. Because I was also a metal head who was now enamored by this awesome new (at the time) rap music that was so cool and atmospheric and raw, I immediately knew upon clicking onto your video that your taste in music was almost exactly in line with mine. All of that to say, I pretty much did a full 180 a few years ago and dove headfirst into the metal scene. I just have become so bored with the current landscape of rap, and the music I fell in love with in that genre just isn't being made anymore. But similar to you, I listened to metal before that, so jumping back into the metal scene again was really fun for me because it was like a rediscovery of how much I love it. And it's the perfect time, there's so many fun new bands, albums and music to listen to in the metal scene. Thornhill would be my first suggestion, all of their 3 albums are great IMO. Spiritbox is a huge fun band who should garner some views. Static Dress brought screamo back to the 2020s which is sick as hell lol. Loathe's new single is one of my favorite songs this decade. And Johnny Booth's new single Get Well Soon is an absolute ripper. Just some ideas to get you started. Cheers and much love Jon!
Haven’t listened to Turnstile Jon so let’s go for it! Can’t believe i only discovered Sleep Token a few weeks ago
Would love!! To see your thoughts of Heaven To A Tortured Mind by Yves Tumour! Incredible mix of heavy drums and guitar, hip hop even somehow gets punky and jazzy AOTY for me in 2020!
What is turnstile
I’d love to see tha Carter vi just for your input, we all know it sucks but it’s funny. I’d also +1 to the guy who suggested classic hip hop albums you haven’t heard yet or need to revisit
The turnstile record is great
it would be cool to get some classic hip hop album reactions that you have not heard yet
I second the calls for dipping more toes into the metal scene, can see you are keen for it, start the slow catch up of all the metal you have missed over the years
He definitely seems to enjoy metal most from what I’ve seen. I really hopes he goes in that direction
Do you think we'll ever see you react to The Ghost Pop Tape by Devon Hendryx (Peggy)? Its like the sisters album to House of Balloons, but even better. Idk if ur into ambient pop, but you'll like it if u are.
I would definitely love to see you explore the new metal scene. There’s a lot of stuff out there that I think you’d really love that pays homage to older stuff like Deftones. Bodies by Thornhill is 100% right up your alley, new album just came out a couple months ago
A strong recommendation i have is Bad omens the death of peace of mind they blew up around the same time as sleep token
Boldy James reaction maybe to any projects you have many heard Price of Tea in China Deluxe? Across the Tracks with Conductor. Fair Exchange No Robbery with Nicholas Craven?
Is there any chance we hear Lucki on the channel, or any other younger, newer-wave hip-hop artists?
There isn't any specific reason to say no, other than the fact that as I get (even) older, I'm feeling more and more disconnected with the super young wave of hip-hop. So if there's a tune that's really worth covering I can, but I'm also not interested in doing a vid on the channel where it's clear I'm not into it. It's different if I'm a reviewer, but the point of the videos is to create connection and vibe. So when that works it's powerful. Now obviously I'm going to be honest above all, and I look to be fair and find what I like in any music. But, more so than my opinion on a specific artist or genre, I deeply believe in the connection between artist and fan. And if there's a chance that me not liking something and putting that out into the world, if there's a chance that might fuck up someone's relationship with an artist (and as much as we try to be cmpletely fiercely independent, it can fuck with the frequency when that happens), I don't want to do it.
