I got introduced to Mike Krol the other night and I really dig him. http://mikekrol.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dszhHqFpgl8 I'm hoping my work schedule allows me to see him in a couple weeks, but gently caress me if I don't love fuzz and that garage sound.

Is this where I can talk about FIDLAR? Too leaked and it's loving great. It's super different from their self-titled and the songs that preceded that. Zac is very open about the poo poo he's been through in the last few years. It's crazy to read about, but it's so honest. So yeah, I am glad that my FIDLAR tattoo on my knees isn't gonna be a waste. Can't wait to see them in a week or two

FIDLAR rolled through last night. 3rd time I've seen them since May. It was awesome. The new songs are great live. Got some pics with Zac, Max, and Brandon after. The nicest guys. See them if you can! Now for Wavves next week!!!

http://rollingstoneaus.com/music/post/first-listen-the-gooch-palms-introverted-extroverts/4043-page-1 The new Gooch Palms album!! It rocks. If you're not familiar with these two lovable Aussies, get acquainted. "Novos" was one of my favorite records of 2014. They're great and I hope they get some of the recognition they deserve with this new album.

Slandible posted:Saw Skating Polly last night, awesome band to see live. One of them plays four instruments and I think shes probably half my age, uhhhg. I'll second this. Saw them a few months back when they hit MPLS, and it was a rocking show. They're incredibly gifted when it comes to songwriting. There's a YouTube video of a light set in Brooklyn that's amazing and I can listen to it for hours at a time.

I grabbed a ticket for this tour because we got a new venue open here and this is the only concert I have interest in that's playing there. I'm thankful that there will be seating, because it's not the most dynamic. But they play the songs real good and real loud. I wasn't gonna do it but Mourning Sound has me pretty pumped.

When I saw Danny Brown at First Ave it was my first mainroom show since DFA1979. So, around 2 years or so. They loving destroyed. I was thankful I stayed upstairs and was able to just take it in. I'll wait for the album, but I'd probably see em again if the album isn't terrible. Also, agreed w the above poster. Their EPs rock.

Sperglord Firecock posted:I'm sorry I recorded something for other folks to enjoy I guess??? https://www.youtube.com/user/UnderCurrentMPLS This is how you record something for someone to enjoy. Take a step back so it’s not overwhelming the mic, and record a song or two. I’m sorry, but you would have been my least favorite person there that night no matter how much we both liked the same band. Now, I’m also the guy who gets chuffed about people not rocking at a rock concert, but I would seriously have been tempted to slap the phone out of your hands and tell you to be in the moment. When I was still on Snapchat, I’d bitch at some of my friends who would go to shows and record minutes at a time via Snap. I don’t think you’re a terrible person, or that your actions were terrible. Just highly inconsiderate and misguided. It’s distracting, and the quality is such that I have no interest in checking the guy out. I’m glad you had a good time, and I hope you continue to have good times and get the opportunity to document going to shows. I love live music and it drives me crazy that more people don’t participate in it. I really respect your passion for the guy, but just take a step back next time you wanna record an entire show almost and think about it.

Sperglord Firecock posted:Yeah I'm sorry I got a bit cross it's just slightly disheartening to get folks pouncing on me like I'm a vile person for something I didn't really know. I don't do shows like this often, and some friends asked me to record it. No worries, Firecock! I tried in my last post to be as effective as I could be w/o tearing ya down. I waffled on bringing it up, but it’s like my only pet peeve at shows. Thanks for being receptive to the feedback. Smaller shows are a ton of fun, and really benefit from being in the now. If your friends wanted to see it so bad, they should have gone, maaaaaaaan. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and effort-post and I can almost guarantee that Saint Pepsi didn’t notice or care about the camera and was thankful that someone wanted to talk and buy his stuff! Keep checking out smaller shows. Until last September, I went through an almost 2year period of just going to smaller shows, and I really can’t go back. Big shows are just too much. Too many people, too many people that don’t care, too long and too much standing. If you get bored, check out the channel I posted, it really got me into the Twin Cities scene and other bands that have toured through, etc. then see if your area has anything like that or at least a Facebook group?

Man, I miss Elliott Smith. I always stuck with his first three albums. What are people’s favorite Figure 8 or From a Basement... tracks? Hell, favorite Elliott in general. https://youtu.be/lL6f419zXj4 Roman Candle is super underrated.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Crystal Castles cancelled all their upcoming tour dates except one, at a music festival I'm going to this weekend. I wasn't going to see them anyway because I'd already seen them before and they're playing at the same time as someone else I want to see, but if they do end up playing that, I hope they get booed off stage. Yeah, I feel bad for the new gal because 1) she’s likely in a similar position to Alice with regard to abuse and control from Ethan, and 2) she probably joined CC viewing it as an opportunity and a starting point, and now she’s embroiled in all of Ethan’s baggage.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:He's suing her for defamation, because she hasn't been through enough. Same here! I saw that, and before I unliked it, took a look at the comments on the post and reminded myself of just how lovely people are. One comment was something like “funny that she’s saying this now” as if there wasn’t a huge, international story blowing up about a sexual predator in the Hollywood system followed by numerous stars telling their stories, some of which have been verified, and others that are backed up by multiple people. HW Bush loving admitted he’s been patting asses! Kevin Spacey’s career is loving shot, and should have been years ago when that first incident occurred, but surprise surprise, it was covered up.

Only big acts I saw this year were Wavves, QOTSA, and seeing Grizzly Bear. Everything else has just been local. I’m pretty pumped for GB just because it’s my first time at the new concert venue in St. Paul, The Palace.

I saw Grizzly Bear on Friday and it was loving awesome. So much better than when I saw them in 2012. It was my first time at the venue and it was waaaaaaay too loud, which I blame on the venue. But it had way more energy and heart behind it than when I saw them touring for Shields. Highly recommend seeing them and it would go very well w psychedelics. My only regret is the mushrooms that I took didn’t really work.
