T Bowl posted:I don't know... basically the average 20 something is a hipster now. It's the mainstream and I don't think it's in decline yet based on what's currently popular. I do live in a major city though so my view is a bit skewed I am sure coming from growing up in a smaller city in the mid west. people started using the term "hipster" in the 1940's to describe a style that became borderline mainstream in urban circles by the late 50's/early 60's. these things go in cycles etc. even before people were using that word in particular, the whole cycle of youth "subcultures" rebelling against the norms of their society only to become part of the enforcers of said norms themselves has a much longer history. e.g. "Bohemians"

T Bowl posted:Yeah I guess you're right with that, hippies did explode into the mainstream in their day.. punk stuff had it's day, grunge was huge. Yep. I think this sort of thing happens once or twice a decade, when everything popular seems a bit played out but it's not clear what the next thing is. I'm rooting for polka revival, led by Steve Albini's accordion band.

That's only partially a joke btw, Steve Albini loves the loving accordion. AFAICT they don't do much polka though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q1c1iByQz8

Yet that's the very problem with this thread anyway. Little discussion and enthusiasm save for one or two poor souls wanking to whatever they were just playing. Just like my Radio Dept post, or my seeing My Morning Jacket post. Even highly relevant giant albums barely get discussed here. So I'm glad the Arcade Fire chat got a little more going even if it's not pasting your current jams.

Edit: I really love Cigarettes After Sex, I remember finding the bandcamp years and years ago and just swooning. One night, some friends and I had our hands on some rental camera gear and shot a bunch of random poo poo at our local bar. Finagled enough out of the footage to put it to a CAS track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8u9aq36ieI ogopogo fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Jul 27, 2017 |

I found the Teen Suicide comments about Car Seat Headrest funny because they are a bit true but still Car Seat Headrest is good and obviously is popular for a reason.

I don't really like either band that much (I somehow wound up seeing Teen Suicide live a year or two ago and enjoyed it but, like, eh) but "Perfect if you have trypophobia, but like, for melody" is one of the sickest burns I've ever read

Been spending a lot more time recently thinking about shorts if I'm honest.

abraham linksys posted:indoor concerts in brooklyn are hell in the summer. i remember there was a loving Beach House show at Baby's All Right a year or two ago that had 6 or 7 people pass out from the heat since the A/C was dying. again, at a loving Beach House show I think I was at this same show - I've never been hotter indoors in my entire life. Ironically, the lead singer was wearing a huge fur coat, right? If you look at Baby's on Yelp, they get a lot of 1 star reviews from people with similar stories: no AC, unbearable heat.

I like how Pitchfork posts "Listen to Arcade Fire's new album now!" and then a little while later gives it a 5.6/10  I'm listening to it now out of boredom. This will probably be the one and only time I listen to this album. I thought all the singles sucked and apparently that was almost half the goddamn album.

Had this happen at St. Lucia's album release show there, which was in January, and I forgot to check my jacket. Even just holding it added heat to that room. That said I will always go to BAR if a band I know and like is playing there simply because the venue's so intimate and I love tight-knit shows

Arcade Fire with another poo poo album. I guess they used up all of their musical talent on The Suburbs. Like, I don't think you could even make a single good album out of the last two. An okay disco EP maybe. edit: listening to Funeral to forget that. What the gently caress happened to this band?

Definitely in the minority but I think this album is fun even if it's not a classic to be remembered. It's not Funeral and nothing ever will be. Way more enjoyable than Reflektor. e: also surprised at the hate for Chemistry. Good God drat is the track that should have been scrapped. angrygodofjebus fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Jul 28, 2017 |

I don't care about different directions, I loved the Suburbs even though it's quite different than Funeral, but I just feel like the last two are just bad. Glad someone enjoys this one though! I hope that I like their next album, because otherwise I'll have to stop seeing them live. I don't want this to be me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5jDWciH1Mw Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Jul 28, 2017 |

unfortunately didn't like the new AF album after two listens. The singles are decidedly better than most of the rest of the tracks, and I didn't care for signs of life or creature comfort at all. Chemistry should have been scrapped altogether. i liked Good God drat for the groove, the rest of the back half is pretty but formless Everything Now the song is still worth it

Yeah not a big fan of the album. Liked a few of the singles so it's not all lost, but it really feels like this was more of a first pass... "ideas" for songs that needed more development. Reminds me of the Salome Tapes from U2 in the early 90s (essentially stolen/found in the trash very early sessions of Achtung Baby).
