For some reason I wasn't expecting this, but Kero Kero Bonito was loving amazing live. I saw them at Thalia Hall, and they totally killed it. They were loud and energetic, and the crowd was amazing. Lots of stuff from the new album, very rock-heavy stuff and it jammed. Plus, they played an insanely heavy version of Trampoline for the encore. I would def see them again.

Chvrches released a 5 song EP that is all acoustic/string quartet and it's very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJiMckc-EQc boygenius did a tiny desk as well: https://www.npr.org/2018/11/15/668198418/boygenius-tiny-desk-concert angrygodofjebus fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Nov 16, 2018 |

I've got potentially four concerts coming up in Chicago and Chvrches is one of them. I haven't seen them yet, bc I regrettably skipped a chance to go to a show last(?) year. So I guess what I'm saying is that I should get tickets for the Young Fathers and Charly Bliss shows coming up. Shows I decided to skip and later regretted: Chvrches @Metro Fever Ray @Metro Tacocat @Empty Bottle (?) Adam and the Ants doing Kings of the Wild Frontier @Vic The Breeders doing Last Splash @Metro Dizzy @IDR The Courtneys @Schubas Shows to which I went and later regretted:

I've passed on Tacocat twice and I don't know why. I want to see them, but I just don't buy the ticket. Don't skip Chvrches or Charly Bliss.

Also I had seen the Courtneys less than a year before at the same venue. And I'm seeing them again with Cloud Nothings at Thalia Hall in less than a month. And I promise to do better. I have been doing better. I can turn this around.

Saw Tacocat in St. Louis two years ago with what was a pretty small crowd. It's a great show. Charly Bliss has done shows near me twice but both times it was when I was gone for the season and I'm still mad about it. Shows I've missed due to my stupid job: Charly Bliss The Coathangers A Giant Dog (this one honestly hurts the most. They seem amazing live) Caitlin Rose Charly Bliss AGAIN Shows I managed to see thanks to my stupid job: A Fleetwood Mac cover band (didn't actually go)

So, I just discovered Desperate Journalist, and I strongly recommend them if you like The Organ (singer doing her best Katie Sketch impression here), The Smiths, The Cure, Gene or Savages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNwQTRLHTE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMpvKbVs5rA "Distance" is also another a beautiful track — maybe my favorite — beautiful melodic bass line, lyrics about travel and suburban ennui, and a 1-minute outro where the singer intones "I've lost you" over and over.  I can't believe how good they sound and why they aren't bigger?

Thom and the Heads posted:https://www.npr.org/2018/11/15/668198418/boygenius-tiny-desk-concert I wholeheartedly had this same sentiment. Her and the whole Boygenius collab feel so special and I am so happy to be experiencing it. I don't know if more will come of them, but gently caress they are forever re shaping music. As much as I've enjoyed crying all the time, I needed a break. The Coathangers are a fun garage rock group and I might so see them in a few months. Anyone see Death from Above 1979 before? They are playing their old EP and more tomorrow night and I'm a maybe on it. I am a old curmudgeon though and don't like youths getting rowdy around me.

I have but not since they started making new music and also I was a 19-year-old at Lollapalooza so I was okay with rowdy youths at the time. They're pretty fun. BonoMan posted:Ok what? I mean they are decent and all but what are they doing to reshape music? People in general flip out way too much about them. They're all cool people and they make good (but low key kind of boring) music but the folks who claim to weep openly every time Julien Baker sings a note need to chill.

One thing I'm learning as I get to be old and boring is that ragging on things other people like is just the least productive thing we can do. The only thing I've ever accomplished from saying "I don't like this thing other people like" unsolicited is annoying the people who do like it. I say this as a big Baker stan but the concept leaks out to other things. Feel like we just need to let each other live and enjoy what we enjoy Baker, Bridgers, and Dacus rule apart and together

I think pointing out that they aren’t revolutionizing music and that people are a bit hyperbolic is different than the unprompted “I don’t like this!” style of music criticism.

Yeah that's where I'm coming from. I like both JB and boygenius. I'm definitely not trying to be all "your music is crap." Just wondering where this sort of explosive obsession has come from.

I am a old curmudgeon though and don't like youths getting rowdy around me. I saw them live a few years ago, and maybe it was the small space, but it was the loudest show I have ever been to. It was amazing, though. This was right after they released their first comeback album, and it made me like the album more. On the other hand, the crowd was pretty rowdy. So, if this is not your thing, may not be the best. As someone who is old and likes to chill in the back now, I was not expecting a second mosh pit to open up at the back of the place during the encore.

I will also champion going to see DFA and agree the pit will get rowdy and it will be loud. It was awesome. Everyone ragging on music is a combination of the Simpsons “keep on rocking forever” and “no it’s the children who are wrong” but I understand it completely because I am continually embarrassed by the new bands coming out of the emo revival scene.

gently caress, now I feel bad for having missed Charly Bliss when they opened for Death Cab last month. Though that Death Cab show was amazing, and we even got a Lauren Mayberry guest appearance out of it. Also, boygenius isn't revolutionary in terms of their sound, but having seen them live two weeks ago, this tour is clearly the best time to see them (perhaps even the only time) and is going to present bragging rights to everybody who got to be in the audience for them.

Literally none of the current crop of guitar driven indie rock is "revolutionary in sound". It's all been done time and time again, that doesn't mean it's bad. But yeah it's all genre styling that's been done for decades at this point. I cannot think of one band in the indie scene right now that has heat and is pushing boundaries.
