It's been out for a few months now, but if you're a Mountain Goats fan and haven't yet listened to The Jordan Lake Sessions, get on that immediately. It's a positively joyous reprisal of a broad swathe of the band's work and, as much as I love the lo-fi aesthetic in a lot of the early albums, they're glorious in hi-fi so long as you have a decent set of speakers. Volumes 1 and 2 are out now, 3 and 4 are recorded and yet to release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcrDgsveJwQ

Solomon Gumball posted:I'm really not into this latest Billie Eilish song, to me it's really bland, and I'm the one who loves Lana Del Rey. It feels like a deep album cut that got released as a single by mistake. I'm sure people smarter than me have figured out a reason for it though.

What a nice surprise in my email this morning! https://sleaterkinney.bandcamp.com/album/path-of-wellness Love low-key marketing. Had no idea they had something new in the works.

Well probably dating myself here but back in the halcyon days of the early 00s amidst a wash of "indietronica" (boy that's a gross word that they eventually spinned into "IDM" ugh) a Norwegian dou of erland oye and sondre lerche had a band that was maybe a tinge late to the "neutral milk hotel / american analog set" party and too early for the "Appleseed cast" post emo slow core drone stuff called "kings of convenience". They split and did side stuff that wasn't bad bit went about as far as Travis Morrison records (read 0.0 on pitchfork). They got a new record coming out. https://kingsofconvenience.eu/#! It's like sad.norweigan bossa Nova or something. But great on a dreary morning and a hot mug of whatever.

Was just looking at a recent vid from The Weeknd and had a flash back to ... like... 10 years ago? And some goon posted him in either this forum or maybe it was a torrent forum back when they existed. And they said "here's a new guy... y'all watch out he's gonna be big." They weren't lyin. Also his super bowl show (despite a lovely mix) is loving awesome.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but the Manic Street Preachers just announced their 14th album and released the first single, "Orwellian" Spotify link Pretty excited for this one, getting some real Lifeblood vibes with the piano and that chorus is catchy as hell.

If you don't have the manslaughter 777 record in yr life are you even a "music fan"? I think not. https://open.spotify.com/album/3z6Pw4I61P6ikvB9LB8Fqh?si=roRhT4LYQZqxQ3FGBdppPA&utm_source=copy-link Made w tone of the guys from the body. Jungle meats bass meats death.

Sylvan Esso is $107 for two tickets in my area. I’m pre-outraged at how expensive tickets are in 2021, but at the same time I’m willing to pay whatever to see live music again.

incoherent posted:who is being absolutely inundated with HEY HEY SHOWS ARE COMING BACK?!!?! eblasts I'm very hesitant to buy tickets to anything. Like yeah, I wanna go see Jawbreaker and Ty Segall like I was hoping to the summer this bullshit began...but I live in NW Ontario. It'll be a long time before I cross a border, and bands probably won't be able to come to Canada for a while. I also work in Healthcare and feel obligated to do the safe thing.

I've picked up a bunch of tickets that are mostly reasonably priced - paid around $20-30 for Oh Sees, Arlo Parks, and Black Midi The priciest one right now was 50 something for Glass Animals, they're playing a big outdoor venue but not quite as large as a stadium/arena

The new St Vincent is out today. I'm generally a big fan, even if her last tour absolutely sucked for playing to a backing track and not touring with a band, and barely moving on stage. The new album is just okay so far. None of the singles released really blew me away, and listening to them now in the context of the whole album, they all sound a little too alike. It's like she found one song from the early 70s that she wanted to find inspiration from, and said, yes, I want the entire album to sound like this specific song, no variety. Also, still a little weirded out by how she's marketing the album as a celebration of her father coming home from prison for doing white collar crime. It'd be one thing if it was just her being happy that he's home, but given that she is actually marketing it about that, she is surprisingly defensive when asked about it in interviews so far, and seems like she thinks the fact that he was sent to prison for so long was silly.

The discourse around all her album releases is weird and generally just best ignored. Even if it is her fault.

Yeah that seems pretty on par, at least for what I'm used to around Chicago. Last week I paid $80 after fees to be dancing on the floor to Glass Animals, so... e: and GY!BE tix were only $40, not too bad angrygodofjebus fucked around with this message at 16:24 on May 14, 2021 |

You’re not taking the NPR tax into account. I would be a little surprised if there isn’t a class of artist/promoter/venue who will try to recoup for last year with ticket prices this year. Maybe not.

even though I too find it a little weird Daddy’s Home is a whole album kind of mimicking Bowie’s sound, I’m into it also I thought the new Black Keys was enjoyable blues rock after the forgettable last 2, reminded me of their earlier days.

Ticket prices are really wild right now. I saw that Rina Sawayama is gonna tour in early 2022 and looked if there was a show in Chicago, which there was, but GA ticket prices on the after market were minimum $150 a pop. Then I looked to see if there was a show in Minneapolis and there was one in a venue roughly the same size and they were selling tickets for like $25. I get the feeling that direct sales are gonna be cheap and the second tickets sell out they’ll be 5-10x markup for even the cheapest shows

So one of my favorite artists, Nick Rattigan, is dropping an indie film tonight, with a vinyl pre-order tie-in (as well as cassette and CD). You have to buy a ticket to be allowed to stream. I know nothing about the film, but he's the sort of artist I'd support regardless, y'know? So, who's Nick? He's part of the duo that makes Surf Curse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GO1OZB0UMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVolCmyMUJw Current Joys is his solo project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1h1AOeVQ38 and my favorite song off the new album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEuQFXpjMj8 Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 17:26 on May 19, 2021 |

E: ^ into it! Idk who Kleerup is, but they did a song with Yuumi Zouma that reminds me of like, Arcade Fire circa Funeral. At least, the back half of this is like what I remember the back half of rebellion feeling like. It's pretty different than Yuumi Zouma's other stuff but so good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ0LbP00FUo Also as a more general note Yuumi Zouma's great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSy-jnG1rb0
