My Spotify top tracks were dominated by songs I played during the long-rear end d&d campaign I ran this year. No shame!!! I only play legit bangers while GMing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lrzuoitlVk Polo-Rican fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Dec 10, 2018 |

He was still Late Night then but still... things have changed drastically in the decade sense in terms of what is considered for night talk shows.. Fallon plays loving drinking games and other silly poo poo. https://vimeo.com/32743988

Siivola posted:I'd expect it to sound less poo poo if it was actually playback. You can hear literally the same exact stereo and effects as on her single track. The vocals are all being played with the track, the guitar is real I am pretty sure but the rest of it is literally being played from her setup as one track. Nothing too wrong with it though, just pointing it out.. she uses so much processing and effects with her stuff that if you hear it without any of that layering like a true live sound then it will sound like total poo poo compared. There's usually only so much you can do live to get it to sound like the studio when you do that much poo poo to it. She may go on tour without lip syncing but for the big ol' TV appearance she elected to make it sound good vs make it authentic. I've heard other performances of hers that were live vocals from her last album.

Twin Cinema posted:I really don't understand why Courtney Barnett's album isn't getting more love this year. It's not like the album got bad reviews or anything, but I haven't seen it show up on any end-of-year lists. It's my favourite thing she's done, and it's by far my favourite album of the year. I didn't like it as much as the last one. When I went to see her live on tour the energy in the room was noticeably different when she played material off of the new album versus the older ones. They're different types of songs, sure, but they feel more low key like the ones off of the Kurt Vile collaboration and was just less enjoyable

I've yet to see Grimes live, but I have heard she generally tries to do too much at a show and it hurts the audio. She tries to play guitar, piano, live mix, dance, and run around. It's too much to where shes just out of breath to sing.

Anyone else stoked for Cass McCombs new album out in February? Can't wait! I discovered him a couple years ago when Mangy Love came out and I have not looked back since. Definitely my new favorite songwriter out there. Andy Shauf is a close second! Edit: He just released another song from the upcoming LP Tip of the Sphere out February 8th. Estrella Sgt.

It's a fun as hell show though, and the energy is through the roof even if you can't process everything that's going on second by second.

I saw Cloud Nothings last night in Durham and some drunk 40-something chode stood in front of the stage, stayed turned away from the band the whole time (facing the audience) and just generally distracted everyone in the fuckin venue. Band didn't seem happy about it. He put his beer on the stage at one point and the bassist just took it. Same venue where I saw a guy punch Patrick Stickles from Titus Andronicus in the balls a few years ago. Durham: A shameful place

Saw saves the day a few weeks ago and during Kevin Devine's set there was a group of couples at the front of the stage actively ignoring him (and the band that played previously, An Horse). Kevin gave them death glares every so often and a visible eye roll during one song that seemed to embarrass them a little. It was a good set.

There was maybe four dozen people in the place  p disappointing. The fact that the show was on a Tuesday two days after it snowed didn't help turnout. Crowd was pretty dead in general but the band sounded great. I wanted nothing more than to see the four crust punk kids in attendance start violently moshing in front of the stage.

Become the change you want to see. I am seeing Cloud Nothings (with Courtneys! Yay!) at Thalia Hall this Friday, which is a great venue with a stage that is too tall for people to be all weird.

I’m not sure how I feel about The Hold Steady’s Stay Positive remaster. The main difference seems to be lowering the guitars and turning the synths up at times which makes it come off as more indie rock than it did, and slightly less bar rock-y. Didn’t seem like it was really necessary to remaster it. Songs are still fantastic, though, and I can’t wait to see them live again (and for the first time with Nicolay) in March.

I've got a pretty rad mini fest coming up next month. I'm trying to go through everyone that's going to be at it and discovered Beach Bunny. Freaking Audiotree has the best live sessions around, I find myself constantly going to their channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fba7HQgoE4g Slandible fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Dec 14, 2018 |

I first heard Hannah Telle as the voice of Max from Life is Strange, but she's a musician by trade and I enjoyed her first album back in 2016. She has a new single out on her Bandcamp that I really like, "Later in Life." Very dreampop, highly reminiscent of alvvays. https://hannahtelle.bandcamp.com/track/later-in-life

It's not that different from a lot of the other lists I've seen. Nice to see Let's Eat Grandma and US Girls and Snail Mail pop up again. Weirdly, though, this may be the only recent list I've seen that didn't have Dirty Computer on it.

I think it's just a continuation of "albums" becoming less and less important. I like a handful of tracks off of the Mitski album, but the album as a whole barely registers for me. But then again, in retrospect, there weren't many albums at all this year that i would let run from beginning to end. Maybe Daughters?...

I'd say it is even less about albums being less important and more about P4s brand of including a ton of poo poo hardly anyone probably listened to all year to maintain the image.

4 of the top 5 are solo women, MAKES YOU THINK.  The Kacey Musgraves album is really loving good start to finish, the Mitski album I agree is half boring.. weak #1 pick by them.

They've probably posted about Robyn more than any other artist this year.

The Black Panther soundtrack is barely played in the actual movie. It's a "Music From And Inspired By" album. It's also better than most albums released this year.

I would put Baby Teeth (by Dizzy) or I Don't Run (by Hinds) or Time 'n' Place by (Kero Kero Bonito) all in the top five with the LEG record, but which one is the top one varies by time of day and barometric pressure. Also In a Poem Unlimited was amazing.
