Die filled my “listening to a very well known wolfmother track” needs. which did not exist because wolfmother is on spotify.

i love medulla. “ugly sounding” seems like a poor word choice, especially with someone like bjork. parts of it obviously aren’t supposed to be pleasant (if the “where is line?” video is anything to go by) and I think the parts that are meant to be let’s say brighter perhaps (“oceania” “who is it?” “triumph of a heart”) sound really good. i didn’t get into volta either, but if we really all just find her experimenting just really great and admirable and keep on keepin on you’re gonna get some off-putting results. that’s kind of the nature of experimenting.

also i know she likes john cage and telling a john cage fan “some sounds are worth more than other sounds” is absolute heresy.

upon first listen, I can’t help but think the Beatles are super famous for making most of this album.

surely this is a misconception that will be corrected after a few more listens?

really, really refreshing. stuff like this and the haunting the chapel articles make stereogum cool.

checking out the comments section can be infuriating (did vampire weekend not have the number one album in the country? they’re going to be okay guys, no need to defend them so enthusiastically just because jamie stewart implied they were all “super rich” when they’re really not “that rich”. I mean, of course he doesn’t like them, it’s xiu xiu), but hey at least people are talking.
