It’s been out a bit but Kim Gordon’s new album is amazing. No 70 year old should be releasing shit like this.

I haven’t listened to this album or anything, but my first impression of this song and video is that it’s one piece of a story told within the album. I listened to the song and thought “are these lyrics her shopping list?”

As the song progressed and given the title “bye bye”, I wondered what is she fleeing from? What is her destination?

This is art.

I must be missing something with Vampire Weekend. I’ve tried, and I don’t think I’ve heard one song of theirs that I enjoyed.

i for the most part agree with you, but do really enjoy "this life."

I loved Sonic Youth, but this was too experimental for me.  Felt like she was channeling Ciccone Youth.

I'm this way but with "Harmony Hall"

Two new Felice records coming out this year, apparently. 

 

I'm really digging the new Old 97's record. I think it's my favorite of theirs since "Most Messed Up."

The first three tracks are classic Old 97's rockers. Also really dig the two Murry songs and also "Western Stars."

98.9 has ruined that song for me. they must play it 18 billion times a day. 

Yeah really love the new Vampire Weekend.

While I liked the sprawling “jam band” vibe of “Father of the Bride” at the time, I don’t go back to it too often just because it’s so unweildy.

”Only God Above Us” feels more like a proper follow-up to “Modern Vampires of the City.”  I’m really, really liking it a lot.

Heard this while driving yesterday...his voice is shot, but how the fuck does a 90 year old still come out with great new music?  Willie is the GOAT.

 

The more I listen to "Only God Was Above Us" the more I absolutely love it.

I don't think Vampire Weekend will ever top the masterpiece that was "Modern Vampires of the City" but this one is right below it in my book as their 2nd best album.  It's just really really excellent.

I heard the whole album twice last night at one of the theater listening events.  I liked it.  The 3 that have been released wouldn't be amongst the best songs on it imo.  Mike and Matt are working hard on this one and I think pretty much every song they end up playing live will be better than on the record. Upper Hand is probably my early fave.

that one's my favorite of the 3 that have been released, strong "learning to fly" vibes.

At the end you can really hear that.

Same.  Pretty much everything I've read from people who've heard it is that the lead singles aren't anywhere near the best stuff on it.  Really getting excited for this now.

Thus far Waxahatchee is my album of the year.  I've been a big fan of Katie Crutchfield for a few years (the Plains album a few years back was phenomenal) and this is as good as anything she's done.

She's playing her first show ever at Cain's on May 8. I'm so bummed I'm gonna miss it because I'm gonna be in Houston for work.. ugg.

I was in Tulsa 3-4 weeks ago (the day it came out, actually) and my cousin was trying to get me to come back for it.  Dead ass middle of planting season, so there's absolutely no chance.

Bummer dude.

Have you ever been to a show at Cain's?

Yeah, saw the Damn Quails there when there were still some Covid precautions.  You had to buy a whole table, so we did.  Not the full experience, but still a great show and a great time.

Nice. Yeah you need to come back and experience it in its full glory.

You should also check out the Woody Guthrie Center and the Bob Dylan Archives some time when you're in town if you haven't. Also the Church Studio... those are must-sees for music fans.

Album out today.

Love the first track.

 

Just finished the new PJ album.  (twice)

Easily their best effort since Yield.
 

Bravo

that's quite an opinion. waiting for stevie and wreckage are good, the rest doesn't do much for me. this one goes in the same category for me as everything post avocado...probably will never listen to it again after this tour.  

best since avocado for me but nowhere close to binaural and riot act.

I just posted this exact same thought on another board.

I really like Riot Act and Avocado, but this tops both of them.

McCready just slapped his dong all over this one.

Binaural has some really good songs that translate excellent to the live show, but that actual album is a sonic mess.

After about a week of listening, one thing I’ve noticed is that this new album is a blend of all the previous PJ albums.  

Good Broken Record episode with Jeff and Stone. 

the whole band did stern yesterday and played Running and Scared of Fear. Both sounded better live as I expected. 

Maybe I should start a Pearl Jam thread.

😀

my biggest complaint with the new pj album is eddie vedder. for the last few albums he's just been cramming way too many words into the songs. there's no space anywhere that isn't filled with forced lyrics. 

The new Taylor Swift album is boring garbage that sounds like AI probably heavily assisted.

I'm not a Swift hater - she has songs I like -  but the album title is fucking hysterical.

Yes, TayTay, you're such a tortured poet. Despite never penning an edgy lyric in your career.

Im not a hater either. I only posted here because I dont want to shit on something my gf likes to her. But even she isnt a big fan of the album.

Quote

Truth, dare, spin bottles

You know how to ball, I know Aristotle

Brand new, full-throttle

Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto

This is an actual lyric

Fuck - she knows Aristotle? Guess she is tortured.

Or maybe the title is about Travis Kelce's penis?

Another fantastic track from these guys.

 

 

new hovvdy out tomorrow. they're continuing the glow up.

 

  • 3 weeks later...

The guitar god dropped a new album. It's very bluesy, a change of pace for Slash.

 

I had labeled this guy as a one-hit-wonder douchebag that made shitty music but I'll be damned if this track doesn't go.

 

 

New Twenty One Pilots out today. 

Season 9 Premiere GIF by Curb Your Enthusiasm

Their drummer is a machine.

I’ve been digging the fuck out of this one since I heard it on Alt Nation the other day. 

New album from BMTH. I actually thought they would start backsliding but it sounds pretty good.

 

 

Debut album from Austin band Holy Wire is out today and blowing my mind at work this evening.

I'm a musical ignoramus, so not sure what to call it.  Very 80s throwback, new wave with some electronica?  IDK.  I get some Tears for Fears, Echo and the Bunnymen, Nation of Language vibes.  The whole album is pretty damn fantastic start to finish.
 

Shameless plug for my son's band, The Formality.  They recorded a spot on Omar Vallejo's show last month at 512 Studios.  Episodes started airing last weekend.  They recorded 3 songs which will be spread out over the next few episodes.  My son said Omar seemed like a really good guy.

They're the 3rd band in the link.
