Thom and the Heads posted:Love them very much. New album is catchy, concise and excellent imo. For a band that has been known to suffer from bloated track lists, it's a nice change of pace. No duds on it at all. I've always liked some 1975 singles, but this album is the first one that I enjoy as a whole album. Very catchy and fun

I have TOOTIMETOOTIMETOO on my running playlist and it's impossible for me to be in a bad mood whenever that song comes on.

I went to two really great shows this week of up and comer indie bands. Don’t think I’ve seen them mentioned here so I’ll share and strongly recommend all 4 of their 2022 releases: Kate Bollinger and Fonteyn, felt like I had been transported back to 1970 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHuXtZ-GlWw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmeCF2x8p-w Luna Li multi instrumentalist(guitar, violin, harp) fairy princess, and zzzahara a really cool band who I’m going to be checking out more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hSWKfQBvkg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHoC2TwvvNs

Well, made to Bournemouth to see Public Service Broadcasting and the gig had a very much 'end of a fourteen dates in seventeen days run let's just have it' vibe. Probably most surprised at the clean backing vocals on 'Blue Heaven' and the Queens Of The Stone Age-esque riff heavy outro to 'Spitfire'

These last two Arctic monkeys songs have been awful. Album shaping up to be a total turkey. I didn’t mind the nonsense lyrics when they were accompanied by music that isn’t audio ambien but woooooof. Hope one day they do something a bit more dynamic again.

this isn't my usual jam but its hittin me just right. Specifically the chorus and the little warble that she does in her singing voice. sometimes its a little too Taylor Swift for me but I like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8W4WRNz3gM

I love Burch Bacharach for instance. I LOVE the Arctic Monkeys. Alex Turner and I are the same age and so I feel like I grew up with them so potentially I'll go on whatever journey they want to take me on. And what it boils down to is I do no want to hear the AM doing 70s lounge music because they aren't very good at it. I am not saying a band can't evolve but oof this not great.

I loved each one of the first five albums to various degrees. Their first album came out when I was graduating from high school so there’s been an album (or two) of theirs that corresponded to each part of my adult life. I love the band but it’s turned into something completely counter to what it was before. Which is cool! But it does not bring me peace

The Alex turner solo project with occasional pop ins from his old band mates isn’t what I’m looking for I guess. The last album had some good songs on it and the first single from this one was interesting but body paint and the other one are rough

Saw the Beaches over the weekend (with Hotel Fiction, who were really great live), and they were amazing as usual. Always a great live band. They said it was their first sold out show in the states, but Schuba's is a super tiny venue. We need more cancon in this country. Also the next day saw Origami Angel with Pool Kids opening for them. That was some intense poo poo. Great crowd too.

But I agree they are one of those bands that sell out some big places in Canada, but then come to a venue here that's basically just a bar with maybe a 100 person capacity at best. Its crazy to me how close borders vary popularity so much. E- Also love pool kids. Last time I saw them was last Bled Fest in a school in a classroom. It was wild.

Came across them by accident (it autoplayed after watching a Tricot performance) and... I kinda dig it? I do find the comments hilarious and completely understand some of the hate.  quote:And this is why all my local venues stopped serving music and started serving food. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aNv4pgl1ac

Saw King Gizzard for the first time tonight. They kicked rear end and I'd definitely recommend their show/go see them again if they come back. No encore, but I looked at other setlists and it looks like they don't do them at all?

Malkmus was very engaged, the band was tight, and the crowd was excellent. I loved shouting "I know him, and he does!" during Stereo with the other middle-aged guys in the audience. The bonus of that weekend was that I saw Soccer Mommy play Pavement covers at the Pavement pop-up museum, which was a good bit in and of itself
