Rock/Indie/Alt Era |OT| Same as it ever was
- Thread starter Ampersands
- Start date
- OT
Seems like people are just discovering Stove recently, wonder what's up with that. Latest album was good too, though a little different now that it's a full band not just a solo project.
Kristin Hersh is still amazing. Set was mostly her newer solo stuff but there was some Throwing Muses and 50 Foot Wave also in the mix.
As a teetotaller who exclusively showers I will say the title A Bath Full of Ecstasy is a challenging concept
But fuck, I love this album. "Positive" is a straight banger.
Yes it is. Also, if you dig that sound, you check out the new album from Holy Ghost! today. Another great release with summer vibes. 'Heaven Knows What' is a jam
Thanks, if I can stop listening to this album on repeat (fourth listen now) I will check it out!
Makes me sad more people aren't aware of them. I've been listening to a lot of Ovlov over the past couple of years too. Steve Hartlett can do no wrong.
I don't know how I haven't heard of this artist before, but my GOD. So beautiful.
Edit - Admittedly, this feels more pop than other indie rock tracks, so feel free to remove if this doesn't belong here.
Back in Avalon again. Haven't moved from the Other Stage, such a good lineup today. Tame Impala area about to come on and I can't wait. Hopefully they play more new material and change it up from when I was at their Coachella set in April

First song off of The Black Key's newest album, Shine a Little Light, totally took me by surprise! Sounds absolutely amazing
Only at Glastonbury could you watch Boy Azooga, Babymetal, Fat White Family, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Bananarama and The Cure all on the same day. Crazy scenes.
Hope you had a good one. Damn, it was hot this year.

Yeah, seem to always avoid the wash out years. Everywhere seemed to be a lot more busier, probably a knock on affect with people moving around and not chilling at the tents with the good weather. Onto next year for the 50th anniversary though the organisers would do well to beat the lineup this year which was nuts.
Holy shit, Janet Weiss quit Sleater-Kinney.
Timing seems strange with the album done, an appearance on Fallon and the tour scheduled. I'm so bummed, without Weiss, there is no SK imo.

The Rocky Horror joke I want to make seems inappropriate at this time.
Their new songs have a pretty different sound with St Vincent's production, so that's probably the reason. But yeah, the timing is weird. I don't know how their creative process works, did the others overrule her if she didn't like the direction?
I think there's still S-K--the first two albums were without Janet, after all--but it's not the same S-K, which matches what we've heard from these singles.
Just the timing of it, the fact that Janet played on the album, played on Fallon, and did early press like the Fader interview, makes me think something happened in the lead up to tour. I mean, she doesn't look all that engaged on the Fallon performance. My guess is the robotic beats of the new record are so un-fun to play for her, and they were trying to do shit like get her to always have a click track in-ear, and after giving it a try she realized it wasn't for her.
Welp, there goes my interest in seeing them in Brooklyn on Mischief Night.
You're not wrong. How many other bands have H. Jon Benjamin in their videos? There's a whole bunch of people from other bands in this video too.
Edit* Also, just to cement their title as 'Best band ever'
They've also had appearances by David Cross and Jeneane Garafolo.
It could be the best song in the world but i refuse to hear a music from a band called Mannequin Pussy!!!
I know :( I had a similar problem when I discovered Diarrhea Planet.
Idles played their biggest show yet at Glastonbury and you can see a dream come true here, what a set. During Danny Nedelko, Talbot is so moved by the huge crowd that he breaks down, while Mark Bowen is crowdsurfing and doing the vocals instead
It's fun seeing the same energy they put out in smaller venues now translated to big crowds. The entire set is a lot of fun to watch: https://youtu.be/OFMgGmAK004

It really is. In the spirit of Samaritans, I have no shame in saying I teared up watching that performance.
My summer throwback Spotify playlist bright back songs I haven't listened to in years like from Tokyo Police Clubs Champ, Yeti (band of the Libertines bassist John Hassall), Public Access TV's debut album from a couple of years ago and Hinds. Apart from The Black Keys, the Raconteurs and the Vampire Weekend Albums from the last few weeks, haven't found anything in the past few weeks worth listening to on repeat
Goddamn, that Purple Mountains album is terrific and depressing and wonderful. I'm so glad Berman is back, probably my favorite album of the year so far.
