Rock/Indie/Alt Era |OT| Same as it ever was
- Thread starter Ampersands

I'll be the judge of that!... tonight after I give a listen. I was disappointed at first with "Cody" as it did seem a bit boring especially compared to the ammmmazing "Never Hungover Again" but it really grew on me. I think I'll like the new album based off the singles released.
I read an interview yesterday where Barry said he basically made "Of All Things..." as sort of a toss off. He felt a lot of pressure after the first album and just wanted to put something "weird" out and he doesn't like it very much now. Interesting as I think it's my fav alongside NHA.

Don't pay much attention to music these days, but this 8-disc set of R.E.M/BBC live stuff is looking absurdly great. Have heard some of these tracks before and they're often the best renditions the band ever did, live or otherwise.

Like it...hate it...ignore it. I finally somehow got my band's album on the major streaming platforms so I want to share:
The Slow Claps - The Worst Case Scenario on Spotify
On Apple Music
I did all of the mixing myself and it was a constant learning process. I know it's nowhere near where it needs to be, but I'm happy to get over this stuff and release it in this form. If we ever do a second album I'll be in a much better position to produce it.

Half the bands in my music library have members who are sexual deviants at this point. It is what it is.
In lighter news, how did it take me until just now to look into The Afghan Whigs' discography? Black Love is a masterpiece.

Kero Kero Bonito album out of nowhere. I liked the direction taken in the most recent ep and singles so looking forward to hearing it!
I will not pretend that I've listened to it but congrats.

Started listening to Stereolab and I'm really digging it. Where do I go to next in their discography if I've only listened to Dots and Loops?
Emperor Tomato Ketchup is probably the next step. Earlier records are a bit more experimental ( but still great though)
This seems like the appropriate place to share this...
New Circa Survive song on Spotify.
It's really fucking good.

I saw both of their shows this weekend in NYC at Forrest Hills Stadium. They were absolutely fantastic as I expected
they're one of the best live acts i've seen. bryan devendorf (the drummer) is insanely good
Check out Broadcast too! They have a very similar vibe but their music is less lounge-y and I like Trish Keenan's vocals better.
I recommend "The Noise Made by People" because it's the one that sounds like Stereolab the most, and their third album "Tender Buttons" is really great too.
Also, yeah, Emperor Tomato Ketchup is Dots and Loops's prequel so go with that one
Depends on what you're looking for. Peng! and Transient are more noisy, lo-fi, and motorik. Emperor is a much more polished pop-oriented album, though not as glossy as Dots. Mars is kind of a middle ground. Their albums after Dots and Loops are weaker, but still worth listening to. And if you happen to devour all of their LPs and still want more, they have tons of EPs and singles that are also great.
Anyone secure Glastonbury tickets this evening? Missed out myself, just gotta hope I get lucky on Sunday
On Cat Power's new album...
"They said, do it again, do it over," Ms. Marshall explained. (Mr. Slater confirmed that Matador told him "Wanderer" was "not good enough, not strong enough to put out." The album will be released by Domino.)
WOW.
Listened this morning and yes, it's very stripped back and muted compared to her last two (Sun and The Greatest), but that's pretty surprising coming from Matador.
"The Greatest" IMO is one of the greatest albums ever and I think I didn't quite give "Sun" a fair shot. I've been listening to it recently and I'm liking it more and more than ever.
Also SWEARIN' is out today. Excited to listen to that later.

Unfortunately not, all 6 of my group came up empty handed. Guess it's the look of the resale in April again. If not I'll look to going Primavera I think, have tickets to Coachella next year again as well
It exceeded my highest expectations. Cant remember the last rock album that ran 80+ minutes has this much quality track for track.
If you haven't listened to dose your dreams go do it right now

Yo, this is a fucking gem:

I immensely dig how Bandcamp existing has allowed little curios like this to be unearthed.

If you really want that 90s feel check out the Charly Bliss album
Should I go see Death Bells tonight? I'm still kind of tired from seeing Nothing and the Swirlies yesterday, but it is right down the street from me...
Yeah his new album is really good. Have been enjoying it a lot. Put it on the other day while in the car with my fiancé while we were driving through the rain in the middle of no where and it felt so good.
I was hoping he'd come through St Louis on his tour. I've seen him twice and he's always just been the opening act (and the whole reason I went to those shows so I'm aching for it)
Man, this is just fantastic. What a perfect album for fall. Thanks for the recommendation on this one
Glad to show it to more people! Honestly, all of his albums are perfect for fall. His lyrics are so poetic.
You know what's an underatted album? Interpol's Antics, idk listening to it on repeat today and it hold up pretty well. Tighter listen then TOTBL even if it has less standout tracks.
nice nice

R.e. thread title: Saw David Byrne at ACL and boy was he good. If anyone is interested, I took a 4K 60 fps video of Arctic Monkeys' Do Me a Favour and posted the video on Youtube:
The file size was around 3.3 GB.. so it's about 1 GB per minute.

Not familiar with this fella but given the replies I will check this out soon! Currently listening to the new Young the Giant album which is out today.
Finally got postal service back in my area after the hurricane, so I got my copy of the new Kurt Vile on a purplish-swirl vinyl. I really wanted the European exclusive one with the die cut sleeve and rounded corners, insane color burst.
I was willing to pay the shipping, too, but it was sold out everywhere I saw online.
Going to give it a proper listen today. Big KV fan so even stretching into some weirdness, I'm sure I'll like it.

how are even their b-sides and demos so good
that's odd, it works fine for me
It took me a few listens but I'm loving it now. One Trick Ponies is one of my favorite songs of the year
Didn't know where to try and post this, but I have two tickets for tonight's show at Milwaukee's new Fiserv Arena for the Foo Fighters and I will give them away free.
This is a mobile only event so I will need your name and phone number. So Milwaukee Era or someone who can still make it tonight let me know and they are yours!
