I saw them in Boston on the 21st, and I was really surprised with how much energy they and the crowd had. A++ would see live again.

Thumpers are releasing their debut in two weeks, and it's really very good. Here's a single to tide you over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuSF6P_gj3Q

Listening to Almost Killed Me right now and Stay Positive later. Rolling Stone put up "I Hope This Whole Thing Didn't Frighten You," which I'm quite fond of. Almost hear some Dinosaur Jr. in there. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-hold-steady-return-with-big-rock-aspirations-on-teeth-dreams-20140123#ixzz2rj2uHjQf

For the Elliott Smith fans among us:quote:Mike Doughty, former frontman for Soul Coughing, as well as a solo artist and author, has shared three previously unreleased recordings featuring Elliott Smith. They are electronic dance tracks featuring vocals from Smith and production from UUL, aka Doughty. According to Doughty, Smith recorded the vocals a cappella during a late 90s session at L.A.'s Sunset Sound Factory, while he was in town working on Good Will Hunting. Smith sang into a binaural head microphone. http://pitchfork.com/news/53748-elliott-smith-goes-edm-as-mike-doughty-shares-unreleased-collaborations/ I love Smith as much as any disillusioned 30-something but these are so, so, so bad. I broke out laughing at "Dogs."

Dogs sounds like some 10 year old's first song which contains Elliott Smith samples for some reason. Oh my god, this is amazing

The new Broken Bells release is out and it's.. alright I guess? It's not as immediately catchy and memorable as the first one (I don't really care for danger mouse all that much to be honest, but I liked Broken Bells as a Shins fan). I'll listen to it a few more times and see how I feel but it's a bit more.. standard and low key I feel.

I didn't quite finish it because a friend came over and then I had to go, but I would say that while I liked it, it's definitely my least favorite of their first four. I remember Sequestered in Memphis being great live though.

Boys and Girls is definitely my favorite, and then I go back and forth between Separation Sunday and Stay Positive for second place. I think Slapped Actress in the best song they've written though. The last album was the worst they've done, but even it had like three really good songs, and I've heard the new one is excellent so I'm looking forward to that. rabidsquid posted:I loved Lifter Puller but I just haven't been able to get into The Hold Steady.

Birth in Reverse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c5BhXdVBqw Digital Witness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7LsBjrqqHA Digital Witness in particular is very weird, but I love them both.

Neko Case just announced a tour with the Dodos opening. She guested on the Dodos' third album, No Color, so this is probably a good time to remind people that they released an album in mid-2013, called Carrier, and nobody noticed. Which is a shame, because while it's a departure from their first three releases it's not a bad album at all.

When The National played Barclays this past June, she was around and came out to do some backing vocals on This is the Last Time. It stands out so well because, if I remember right, that was the public debut of her massive new blonde hairdo.

It's okay, but I like the sound of it more than the songs themselves, it you get what I mean. Like it's really well-produced and has a good vibe to it, but I don't know that you will ever catch me humming one of these songs. The first one took a bit to grow on me, though, so maybe I just haven't given it enough time.

Timber Timbre have released a new single from their upcoming album. I absolutely loved that goth-folk sound of their second album, so this 70s stripclub lament is a strange twist but I'm still looking forward to what the albums going to sound like as a whole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtjOEWjrco

I've got Basia Bulat in March. Check her out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIhbxOlUIqc Also going to see Shearwater in Toronto at the end of March. I'm pretty excited for their new album. Fellow Travelers was good but I want some original material. Then its James Vincent McMorrow in April, and Bombay Bicycle Club with Royal Canoe in May, so all in all not a bad concert lineup.

The new Beck album Morning Phase is out there and I'm a little over halfway through my first listen of it. It's decent. It's not my favorite Beck album, none of the songs I've heard so far sound like they beg to be listened to again, and this probably wasn't worth waiting 6 years for. It's not bad, though. Just not great either.
