JailTrump posted:And the fact that Win says in his latest interview that "We're a International band, we're going to Colombia..Mexico...Do you really think people in Mexico like the kind of music hipsters in brooklyn like now days?" is pretty loving cool and more aware than probably anything I've heard from any "Indie" band. You mean musical tastes can differ wildly from location to location? gently caress, if only there were some way we've been keeping track of what's popular in certain areas for loving decades, we could've known that!

also there are lots of people in Mexico and Colombia who do indeed like the kind of music that hipsters in Brooklyn like, its why they play gigs in those countries

When Brooklyn sends it's bands, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending LCD. They’re not sending Grizzly Bear. They’re sending bands that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’ve got drum machines instead of drummers. And some, I assume, are good people.

Lol while we're all making GBS threads on Arcade Fire for making a album influenced by world music Bon Iver just announced the first concert outside the Continental United States/Western Europe - at a fancy white's only resort in the most whitewashed place in all of Mejico - with tickets costing $1500 minimum - and not featuring a single local act. GG dude!

Good job trolling dude, except no one gives a gently caress if Arcade Fire's music was influenced by world music. If that all of a sudden makes you go in your head "oh yeah this is actually good never mind" then that's just silly. The songs are weak and world music is one of the most lame things you could possibly use as a statement in 2017. Go listen to Peter Gabriel and call it a day you weirdo.

That's a little disingenuous. It's a four day all inclusive vacation that includes three full sets of from Bon Iver and the collaborators. I mean I can't speak to that being a whites only resort (i'm totally unfamiliar with it) ... but it's not like $1500 for a single concert ticket or something.

My Morning Jacket is having yet another of those and i'd do it if it wasn't that expensive. $1500 per person and you still have to pay for the flight, no thanks.

Safety Dance is basically the decoder track for this whole album If your aging twee emo rockers don't dance to Thomas Bangalters favorite dust covered disco funk jams then they ain't no friends of mine

Listening to the Arcade Fire album and ... it's starting to grow on me.

I made a Chrome extension that adds Spotify search links to Pitchfork. I haven't tested this that thoroughly, but it seems to work! It doesn't actually link up to Spotify and check to see if the artist or album exists on Spotify—it just performs a search. Still, this is a really fast way to hop from Pitchfork to Spotify. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spotifork/amhdchkdkchdidinbcofgbklneockjmf

In non-Arcade Fire discussion (Put Your Money On Me is making a strong push into my AF top 10), I really enjoyed the new Joywave and Manchester Orchestra records. The Joywave stuff doesn't have any specific pop-out tracks like Tongues or Somebody New, but I really enjoyed the darker mood and the progression in songwriting. Even as an Everything Now defender, Content is arguably a better meditation on overload culture. I've seen people call A Black Mile To The Surface Manchester Orchestra's best, and while I'm partial to being 18 and screaming along to Mean Everything To Nothing, it's a really solid, cohesive and thorough piece of work with hooks that creep up on you. Now that Tremendous Sea of Love is readily available and I could finally give it an easy listen... yeah, not Passion Pit's best. It's telling that a tossed-off collection of first drafts is better than Kindred, but it's still not all that grabbing despite some good tracks. Finally, the live Sylvan Esso EP made me revisit What Now, and whoops, it suddenly became my AOTY. Die Young rips my heart apart.

Also in under-the-radar-news, Trevor Sensor released his first LP "Andy Warhol's Dream" this year. It's really good.

Double posting, but the new War on Drugs Song "Pain" is really good. God he's like some neo-yacht rock neo-Henley poo poo. I love it so much. edit: with a dash of Pink Floyd's The Division Bell thrown in.

Bit of a long shot but I half remember a song that I liked a bunch of years ago. It was by a woman who I think was British. I vaguely remember it maybe had something to do with horses or mirrors but potentially didn't. The music video had a bit where she was at a kitchen table with her head on it in black and white. She was also topless at one point. It's bugging the gently caress out of me so hopefully someone knows what it's called  any help would be appreciated

I saw Fleet Foxes last night. I wasn't really looking forward to it, because I bought the tickets before the new album was released, and then I found I wasn't a huge fan of Crack-Up. However, the show blew me away. I have always known Robin's voice is spectacular, but seeing it in a live setting made it that much more impressive. In the past 24 hours, I have now been non-stop listening to Crack-Up and have been realizing that I may have been hasty in my reaction to it.

There's really no traditional single apart from the first half of Third of May, and it's more subdued than the past stuff. More of a headphones album than the ones before it

It's an amazing album. I just see it as people who don't like it think totally different about music than the people who do, not in a bad way.. they just get something else out of it. They were really good live too, I agree, and I was worried the live setting would not benefit those songs. I'd still like to see them having one more harmony voice though since Tillman gone is clearly a hole with that they aren't really filling.
