Rageaholic Monkey posted:I really wasn't a fan of Voids, but everything else they've put out has been memorable for me. Infinity Overhead, while I wasn't jazzed about it when it first came out, grew on me a LOT. Diamond Lightning is so loving good: The acoustic version on Acoustics II is amazing, in fact all of their acoustic stuff is great - Dayglow Vista Rd. and Absinthe Party are two songs I feel are stronger than the original recordings. Schremp Howard posted:I'm in the same boat as you. Couldn't believe Lost Loves was an album of leftovers. I remember getting ready to go on a trip and buying Omni and The National's High Violet. I was blown away by High Violet and couldn't have been more disappointed in Omni. I haven't bought any of the new albums since Omni but I'm not going to miss the Pittsburgh show, they always put on a good performance.  Lost Loves has an absurd level of quality - Invented Memory and The Lucky Ones are standout tracks for me, even Walk On Air is at least interesting in a way I can't quite put my finger onAnd then...they put out an album like Voids  It's still a hell of a run and I absolutely won't miss out on the farewell tour

New Waxahatchee. EP out September 7th. Seems alright from what I can tell. Need to give it a couple more listens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Erec0dAUE Also new Metric. Not sure where I come down on this one. Wasn't crazy about their last album overall. This single kinda reminds me of Live It Out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVn2UM8-sKI

Finn Johansson, who I've posted about in this thread before and who's rapidly becoming one of my favourite live acts, has a new single out. quote:'Love Bomb' is evocative but not fancy, groovy but not in a stupid way, achingly sad but not hopeless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeffKzBc7hg I really hope he puts out an album soon, but whatever he ends up doing, I'm excited for it.

Diarrhea Planet is breaking up. After passing on seeing them multiple times, I only got to see them once - and it loving ruled. Please recommend me goofball bands that are totally not afraid to rock/shred/sing about rockin'/shredding.

Also if anyone was like me and on the fence about going to Riotfest for like Beck and Interpol, because of some hacker settlement 3 day passes are only $99 now. I paid more than that per ticket to sit in the upper deck for Florence.

Agreed. The reunions in the past that I saw were a ton of fun (Thursday, Alexisonfire, Misfits) and they seem to be missing that factor this year. That being said, I've never seen Beck so I copped a three day pass for that price.

abraham linksys posted:how the gently caress mr twin sister, of all bands, out here doing a better job at a pop summer jam than anyone else in 2018 Mr. Twin Sister are good. In Heaven still holds up well as a great summer album, I think. Thanks for reminding me to catch them when they roll through DC. I love the irony-rich track description at that link: Mr. Twin Sister posted:Tune in now to hear “Echo Arms”, the first Mr Twin Sister track to debut at #1 on MTS Radio! This breezy banger is Chill AF and bound to be right at home on your Sunday Funday playlist - just add rosé 😍. It’s an easy shoe-in for song of the summer, and it’s got Daily Hot Track written all over it. Catch it in rotation on the Weekend Relax Mix and the Smooth Styles playlist - but first, tune in for a special release day ENDLESS REPEAT event! Echo Arms ‘Round Me! That reminds me — does "Roséwave"  make anyone else want to barf? I can hardly stand All Songs Considered anymore. I think it's the hosts. Am I being a stick-in-the-mud?

The Chvrches aftershow was pretty good. The live drums work well with the songs off their new album, but they definitely didn't go so well with some of the older songs. It just felt kind of forced and drowned out a lot of the other stuff going on. It did add some cool wrinkles to some songs too though, so definitely made it a fresh experience at least. They closed with Never Say Die and holy poo poo, that's a song that comes off waaaaay better live than on the album. Clearest Blue is still one of the best live songs you can ever see not my tweet https://twitter.com/DanonymousMan/status/1024885537612738561

ThatsMyBoye posted:Av crew chiming in. This is still mostly true, but the shows I saw from 2008-13 were better than the ones from the past few years. Still great, but a notch or so below the peak of what I saw Man I wish I saw them then, because they loving tore the roof off the Metro last night. Played until 2AM and god drat, what a show. Venue had a lot to do with it I'm sure, but this show compared to seeing them at like, the Chicago Theater in seats was night and day. They should never play seated venues again. Matt was in great form all night.
