I'm going to see the war on drugs in concert tomorrow which will be really exciting. I loved the last foxygen album and have some really serious connections to it but the new album was not very good the first time I listened. It's also around an hour and a half long which is ridiculous And the new bear in heaven wasn't very good either. I'm a big fan of their first two albums but they don't seem to know what to do with their sound anymore. It's just bland. That new caribou album is amazing. The last song on the album, your love will set you free, is really great: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jTHlC4z7_lE Other highlights include the singles, our love and can't do without you, as well as Mars and silver. It's a really great album and will probably be one of my favorites at the end. Not as good as fka twigs but that's the best album released this year

jiffypop45 posted:I'm going to see Sharon Van Etten in concert next Friday in Dallas. I really liked her new album, and bought the tickets solely based off of that. Listened to her other stuff, and didn't like it nearly as much, since the tour corresponds to its release I'm hoping she plays stuff mostly from it. I personally prefer Sharon's earlier material, but that's mostly because I was first exposed to her as a solo act. Rest assured, however, that the set lists for this tour have mostly focused on material from Are We There. Enjoy the show!

I'm sure Kozelek is genuine when he says he doesn't mean any serious harm, but I can't help but feel this is one of those shoulda-never-blown-up-in-the-first-place turned pissing match for the public incidents. i think Mark Kozelek just enjoys playing a caricature of himself for the purpose of entertainment/loving with people. Saw him about a month ago and it was really good (prob because everyone was acting like they were in church and there was a strict no phone policy). saw Foxygen last weekend, wasn't impressed at all. they still sound good on a record but live it was just a mess IMO and the sound was bad.

Foxygen is a horrendously bad act. Good music, but they're terrible both professionally (to people who work shows/the industry) and to the fans. They'll disappear and no show, show up way late to gigs, devolve into jam band nonsense, and just be antagonistic to the crowd. Such a shame. Still love Take the Kids Off Broadway, and "We Are..." though, classic albums.

Was a good concert overall, though she played mostly older and "teaser" songs despite like you said most of the previous set lists indicating that she would be playing predominately new album material. She had a lot more personality than I was expecting and interacted with the crowd a lot. Thinking about going to a Tennis concert, in early November, anyone have any experience with them? Alt+J is playing the same venue roughly a day or so later as well but, I'm not sure if I could see myself really enjoying them live.

The main person talked to the crowd and seemed into it.

Two minutes into the first song, the singer steps up on a monitor. He then proceeded to fall forward off the stage and break his leg.

I would have considered it had I not read this topic  I cant imagine what would make you want to do that to people who are supporting your ability to presumably do what you enjoy. Hell I would go so far as to avoid buying their LPs and just stick to the .mp3's. (I really only enjoyed "How Can I Really" off of their most recent anyway which wouldnt have made it an LP buy worthy candidate for me anyway).

Not horribly surprising, yet awesome news that Sleater-Kinney has reunited; has a new LP out in January (video for single in link). They're touring, too. My unabashed love for Carrie Brownstein (drat I miss her on NPR) and Corin Tucker aside, they went out on such a high note with The Woods nine years ago that I'm pretty excited.

Last night I saw We Were Promised Jetpacks live and they blew me away/rocked my socks off/were pretty amazing. They released a new album ("Unravelling") last week and it was my first taste of the new stuff. It's darker and a little bit more ambitious than their past two albums, and you could tell during the live show. Stuff like the first single "I Keep It Composed" and "Night Terror" were a lot less shouty and anthemic than older songs, and were highlights of the show for me. I used to like their first album the most because they reminded me of old Bloc Party, and I miss old Bloc Party. Hearing the new stuff live was great though, and I'm going to have to pick up a super-high-quality version of it.

The new song is pretty good too, and they're playing at one of my favorite venues (the Slowdown in Omaha...I'd expected the Sokol if they came to Omaha at all), which will be rowdy as gently caress.

I'm so pumped about this! This forum ( , actually ) introduced me to S-K with All Hands a dozen years ago. Now that I'm done making excuses not to see bands I love, I'm thinking I might fly to SLC or Denver to catch them (and get some snowboarding in). Does anyone have any feelings for The Depot vs the Ogden Theater?

I'm bummed that their Canadian tour consisted only of Montreal and Toronto. Surely they could have squeezed in a stop at the nation's capital?! I'm really liking the new album though, it's a lot better than what the first single led me to believe. I have a good prairie music weekend coming up though with Regina's Rah Rah on Friday and Winnipeg's Royal Canoe on Saturday. Should make up for not getting Jetpacks.

So I am super biased because I know Foxygen personally, but their show in Boston was one of the best live shows I've been to. Definitely improved over the last time I saw them. The crowd was just crazy hyped--I've never seen that much energy outside of a punk show. Also add me to the huge list of people that incredibly excited to see Sleater-Kinney.

I couldn't get anyone to do the tennis concert with me so I am going to Death from Above 1979 the week after. Really liked their first album when it came out. When I was in high school The guy I am taking is a metal head so I am not 100% sure what he is expecting as I think I sold him on the band name.

Get as loving drunk as you can, ignore the sound quality, and go nuts. The slow parts are when a new song is playing. Drink during those parts.

Saw DFA1979 last night and it was such an incredible gig. They played everything from The Physical World (apart from Nothin' Left, which they replaced with Dead Womb) and most of the tunes I wanted to hear from YAWIAM apart from Pull Out. Grainger's vocals were a bit quiet, but his drums and JFK's bass were loud as hell and the vibe was still loving insane. Definitely see DFA if you can.

I saw Cuddle Magic when they opened for Death Vessel last weekend in RI, and they might be my new favorite band. Just a fantastic warm sound to all their songs and they killed it live. Uncommon to see a non-commercial group that has such a good blend of sound, lots of vocals/instruments going on and all the parts were so clean and distinct. Edit: Had this song in my head all morning. Even better live though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Jer8XwAbU exquisite tea fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Oct 27, 2014 |

I discovered Ex Hex a few days ago and was able to catch them live last night, they were awesome. All girl punk-rock pop trio. I would say they sound close to The Men and and a faster paced Dum Dum girls. They just released their first album this month and it's getting great reviews.

I wasn't sure where to post this, whether in the ambient thread or the electro thread or here, but I decided on here: Arms & Sleepers have a new album coming out tomorrow, entitled Swim Team, which you can stream here. It's really dope. It sounds more electronic/sample-based than anything they've ever done before, but a Tycho/Baths sort of chillwave type electronic. That article calls it "J Dilla meets Tycho" and I'd say that's pretty accurate so far. If you want some chill electronic poo poo to listen to, check this out.
