Paperback Writer posted:Horrible... the British band Her’s were killed by a drunk driver while on tour in Arizona. RIP I cannot fathom how 3 people died unless it was vast stretch of desert that took a while for responders to get to. Or they had a old shotty 70s touring van (most plausible). A senseless week for music as well: nipsey hussle getting gunned down (sorry its not on topic, but not sorry) and lets eat grandma canceled their tour because of a death, save for the coachella gigs.

I’m heading out to Colorado for a wedding in June, and it just so happens that Death Cab and Mitski are playing Red Rocks a few days later... really excited to scratch that off my bucket list! I’ve seen both before so I know what to expect, but I saw Mitski last year about a week before she dropped Geyser so I’m excited to see how her live show evolved since Cowboy came out. DCFC I’ve seen before, I know exactly what to expect - hopefully they’ll play a lot of Narrow Stairs, that’s always been my favorite record of theirs. As for new music, Hot Chip counts, right? I don’t think I’ve ever not enjoyed something they put out. Really enjoyed the new Vampy Weeks and National tracks today too. https://youtu.be/xJh_tYip-ns

Shame you have to see such a snoozefest as your first red rocks experience. That venue deserves a top tier show stopper for your first time.

I don’t dislike anything I’ve heard from the new album but I’m not that excited about any of it either. It’s all just a bit bland compared to their previous work.

Anybody still listening to Bright Eyes? They were one of my favorite bands of my mid-teens and had a profound impact on me, coming out with songs (and albums) that I'd consider some of my all-time favorites and getting me through one of the hardest times of my life. I'd kinda stopped listening to them for a while for whatever reason, but I listened to them a bunch a few nights ago and it reminded me why I've always loved them so goddamn much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2HUk-MXpBY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKV2bHpiH1E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO7vdO9ltyE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sBlGgS5kr4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPRII7gFHH4 I've only kept up with some of Conor's solo work, and most of it hasn't done much for me outside of his first solo album with the Mystic Valley Band, which was real good but still not as good as some of the Bright Eyes stuff. The only time I've ever seen him live was in 2008 on the tour for that Mystic Valley Band album. Never got to see Bright Eyes live  Though this Better Oblivion Community Center performance of Shallow from A Star Is Born that came out a few days ago was pretty great too, even if that was mostly because of Phoebe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbCrQPJDa9c I gotta give that BOCC album another shot. I listened to it once all the way through and it wasn't wowing me so I didn't listen again. At this point I'm just wishing I was connecting to more of Conor's recent output because of how much Bright Eyes means to me. e: HOLY poo poo, WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS BEFORE  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrHAsWwIJXE Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Apr 7, 2019 |

I still listen to Bright Eyes on the reg, I'm here for ya.  I don't know if it has to do with me just wanting to listen to familiar stuff because I'm getting old and cranky, but whatever.

some of my favorite Bright Eyes songs are the b-sides. Trees Get Wheeled Away, Loose Leaves, Cartoon Blues... And his first solo album has aged really well, just listened to it the other day.

The last time I saw 'em was at Pitchfork 2015 when their set ended after like 3 songs because of rain. Anyway it was a loving blast. The songs off the new album sound even better live.

Lifted.. was a great amalgamation of post-breakup teenage psychotic neurosis. I can't speak for anything else he did (well, arc of time is brilliant) but I listened to that album exclusively for a month for the aforementioned reasons. That's my story thx for listening.

Ex Hex was awesome again. Only downside was they don't have New Kid in their setlist and they are already out of shirts (didn't the tour just start). They pretty much completely split their set evenly between It's Real and Rips.

Saw Death Cab for the first time in 10 years. They were great! They're still energetic with both old and new material after 20+ years. And Ben can still hit those high notes in his 40s! Setlist: quote:1. I Dreamt We Spoke Again

Loose Leaves is so good, it's weird for how prolific he was that he saved some great songs for EPs and always had a few weaker spots on his albums. I always really enjoyed the split with Neva Dinova too, those guys complimented each other really well.
