A friend just told me Beck paved the way for Ed Sheerhan. I don't know enough about Ed to know if that's true, but it just feels wrong to me.

Arcade fire is pretty boring in general. This stuff doesn’t sound that different to me from their older stuff.

The hooks just aren't there for me. The production is amazing as always, but it sounds like a bunch of B sides like others have said.

I feel the same way about arcade fire that I feel about war on drugs where it’s very professional sounding music that is really boring to me.

The lyrics are also really Not Good even by the modest standards of Arcade Fire, and when the music is largely unremarkable it makes the bad lyrics stand out more. I did laugh at "gently caress season five" though, a rare example of a lyric that was actually surprising and had personality.

I'm disappointed. I love The Lightning, and I think the opening track is pretty decent. Maybe if I saw them played live I'd change my mind.

Arcade Fire is now straight up moody dad rock, and that makes me laugh. (I like what I've heard of the album.)

Old Town Road to EGOT

For fans of Minus the Bear, their lead guitarist David Knudson just released his debut solo album. Unfortunately, it's got a couple tracks I'm really into and several more tracks I'm really not :(

Here are 2 I really like:

You'll stumble in my footsteps
I'm a few days late, but I am really really enjoying the new Death Cab for Cutie single, though it is getting something of a pasting on the DCFC shitposting group on Facebook I lurk on. It sounds completely different to anything they have done for quite a while, but I can see why others may not like it.

The new Florence is fine, it's a bit slow. I had higher expectations after the first few songs came out.

Aside from Ben's vocals, it sounded to me like it could have been made by any number of bands and didn't have a clear identity as a Death Cab song.

Yeah, I saw them in February. It was a pretty young crowd.

I saw Orville Peck last night, and I was surprised at how diverse the crowd was. The bulk of the crowd was either millennial gay men, or young gen z girls, but there was also a good number of straight boomer couples who just plain enjoyed good country music and went into the city for a date night.

It's a piece of JUNK!
It's been a super-stacked month for music, but I finally got around to the new Sharon Van Etten album and it did not disappoint. If you liked her last album you'll probably like this one too. It's at about the same wavelength, a mix of moody stuff and bangers.

"Mistakes" is a hell of an earworm.

Amyl in Chicago was a weird show for the crowd. When we got there it was all people older than us waiting for the doors to open, which is unusual for us. It was also at this venue, Logan Square Auditorium, to which nobody had ever been. Grayhairs with like Circle Jerks and Bad Brains shirts it was wild.

Once the place filled up though, everybody was there: 80s people straight out the mall from Stranger Things, a lady with a perfect egg-white fin and red plaid pants, Turnstile fans, a dude with bangs, Hodor.

I saw Jeff Rosenstock a few years back at LSA. It's a cool venue but doesn't seem to get a ton of concerts. Also they have indie wrestling there.

Ya, usually younger folk, but I usually feel close enough in range at shows. This was like all early 20 year olds and my old rear end in my late 30s.

Forgot the opener was really good too. They played this song and I thought for sure it was a cover, I had heard it before, but couldn't remember. Nope:
