I always feel a little shameless putting my own stuff up, but my band Rice Cultivation Society has a new album coming out soon called "Mystical Shitheads." We just put out a video for one of the new songs that our label made using archival footage. It's trippier than our previous stuff, also heavier and more rock.

Not bad at all.

I don't have the +$10/mo reserve-further-in-advance plan, so I'm a little worried about not managing to grab a spot at that show. I had no trouble reserving a War on Drugs ticket, but that was at a twice-the-size venue.

I guess if I fail to get a ticket for that, I'll maybe grab a Disclosure ticket, since I wonder how the hell this would even work at MSG. They don't give out tickets in advance for most shows, just add you to the will call list, which I don't think MSG even has

Yeah, I recently signed up and used the $10 referral credit to upgrade just for Courtney. For the MSG show, you'll probably have to pick up a ticket in your name from Will Call at the box office. I'm assuming Jukely's allotment of seats will just be scattered throughout the 200s.

And from 4 pages ago this is the the FKA band Dale Earnhardt jr jr. They only changed it because they felt bad unwitting people would drive miles to see an obscure indie band.

And the joke was tiring.

I forgot about it until just now and I got a Courtney Barnett ticket an hour after they went up for everyone :shrug:

I'm going to be very sad once more people start using Jukely, I reckon, but so far they've got so few users and what users they have seem super EDM-focused that it was super easy to get a spot for this and War on Drugs. Disclosure's still open too, so I suspect either they've got a really big block of tickets for that or people are waiting until after a Thursday/Friday show to pick up an RSVP for it, since you can only hold one spot at a time.

I'm actually seeing Neon Indian at Baby's at midnight that night, so I am super super excited to see two shows without moving between venues! I expect I will be obnoxiously drunk by the end of that night.

I'm also seeing We Are Scientists next week because it was a cheap show and I really just want to hear them play their first record but will begrudgingly give anything else they play a try

If their "open bar" is anything like it was on Tuesday night, the free choices will be Bell's Lake Lager, Tiger Beer, and Tito's vodka. Load up on vodka and enjoy seeing Porches for the millionth time.

I remember seeing Neon Indian open for The Flaming Lips at a Mississippi stop during their World Record 24 hour tour. He was amazing and by the time the Flaming Lips got on stage I was like "eh whatever." Granted that's a bit unfair since it was 4 am and everyone including the band was haggard as hell, but still... Neon Indian is really good live.

I was looking through my music catalog and I noticed that 2009 specifically (or slightly broader late 2008-2009) was probably the best emergent time period I can ever remember for indie rock. A ton of bands I'd either never heard of, or who had somewhat less notable previous albums, just exploded out of the gate or put out their arguably best albums all within about a year of each other. It's worth noting that social media was becoming a lot more prominent in that time, and it could also be a factor that the Bush era was finally ending and creative indie artists finally had something to be happy about. In any case it's a weird synchronicity. Just about all of the really good indie albums I've picked up in the last decade or so were 2009 or very close to it.

There've been other years like that too. 2002-2003 is a time when I remember a crazy amount of "holy poo poo" albums coming out, including (iirc) Spoon's Kill The Moonlight, Wilco's YHF, The Postal Service's Give Up, The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi, and Iron and Wine's Our Endless Numbered Days. It just felt to me like the entirety of music sorta sat down and said "Okay, let's figure out which ideas we're going to be expanding on for the next decade".

e: Our Endless Numbered Days was early 2004, apparently. Weird, because I could swear I remember listening to it when I lived in Florida, but I moved to California in 2003. Dammit, brain, get your poo poo together.

Rock music has always had a cycles like this. Just imagine all the bands you're not listening to right now that haven't even popped up on anyone's radar yet.

There is a lot of garage rock out there that is looking to bust through, which I suspect the predominant force in the next few years (just based on HOW MANY BANDS there are). Bands like Corners are still working their way up

I'm pretty hyped for new Grimes. I was never a big fan of her stuff, but the single Realiti got me pretty pumped for new stuff. She didn't put it on her album saying something like it will be even better material. So this album is either going to be amazing, or total garbage.

E-- Ok, according to the link, Realiti is on it now.

10 Realiti
11 World Princess part II
12 Venus Fly [ft. Janelle Monáe]
13 Life in the Vivid Dream
14 Butterfly

(these are extremely good track names)

I like Realiti more than the new track but it also had like months to grow on me so I dunno. Oblivion may be my single favorite song of 2012 though??

Also, I'm thinking, and this has to be the biggest event album left in 2015 unless Frank Ocean miraculously reappears, right

e: an extended tracklisting shows "Realiti (demo)" is a bonus track on the CD version, and that "Realiti" is only on the CD and digital version (so, presumedly not the vinyl). weird!

WE WERE ALL UP IN THAT SHIT LIKE A MUTHAFUCKA. IT'S CLEANER THAN A BROKE DICK DOG.

I think Grimes has outlasted her shelf life. Go was dubstep garbage which I assume she realized and prompted her to throw away an entire album's worth of content. Realiti was good progression from Visions but that new track is worse than average pop you hear on top 40 radio and never think twice about. Carly Rae Jepsen managed to put out an entire album of content that is more compelling.

Ya probably but I think the new Chromatics album could be just as big or even bigger considering how much Chromatics music appears in tv, advertising, and movies these days. They also seem like they're on the edge of breaking out even more and I wouldn't be surprised if a new Chromatics album gets a lot of mainstream attention.

Never been a huge fan of Grimes and this new track isn't really changing my mind. It just feels like some airy, nondescript synthpop that a bunch of other acts are doing better these days.

I'm kinda surprised the new Joanna Newsom album isn't getting more buzz. I think it's on the same level as her last two albums.

Lie, Cheat, Steal live with audience participation is hype as gently caress. I saw CHVRCHES 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. Their new album is so good. The guy singing High Enough To Carry You Over has gotten better but drat he has a thick accent.

The day after I saw some dude in the gym wearing a CHVRCHES hat and shirt and we talked about the concert, it was weird. Dude's going to make it all sweaty.

I'm going to see Grimes on Wednesday so I'll see how the new stuff is. Maybe they play a lot better live.

I too saw Chvrches and RTJ in about a two week span. Probably the best shows this year.

I'm really digging that new Grimes track. Yeah, its sound might be similar to Top 40 hits but Flesh Without Blood is a cut above. The song has tone, some great hard-hitting bass drums, and a slight industrial tinge that makes it very toe-tapping and if more Top 40 Hits had as much personality as Flesh Without Blood I would listen to a lot more pop radio.

No idea whether this thread works, but Josh Ritter's live show is pretty loving sweet. He looks so drat happy to be singing and playing on the stage its infectious, and I liked the live version of most of his new songs more than the album.

I know this is old but I gotta say I disagree.

Such a special moment for everybody in attendance.
