On Stereogum, it’s called a Spiderlandboner.

@TheDirtyProjectors just posted a photo (taken with Instagram).

If the album captures the feeling of the new songs as they were played on the recent tour, this is going to be good. Corgan works best in an album setting, so while I’ve enjoyed the Teargarden stuff up to now, I have hopes this will be better all around.

He created something for the Rag & Bone brand? Over my dead body!

Eh, whatever. I am going to go home, listen to some of these amazing albums, and enjoy them.

This makes me very sad.

Her song with Cornershop is wonderful:

This album is great, and not just because “it sounds kind of like Heartbreaker.” Pitchfork is way off on that claim.

And yes, Easy Tiger is spotty, but Cold Roses is amazing, and well worth the listen.

Awesome. James Ferraro’s post Skaters work has been a trip…

I don’t know…I find Post a little too scattered for my tastes. For some reason it hasn’t aged as well for me personally as the other 2 have.

From what I’ve heard so far, I have a feeling this will join Homogenic and Vespertine to form the holy trinity of Bjork albums.

Yeah, that “Sidewinder” is on here but not “Drive” seems like the biggest error, hits-wise anyway. That and no “E-Bow.”

I really hope Ryan Adams keeps this up, releasing a really amazing record every 7-10 years. His career has a Neil Young feel to it, and I like that.

This is true, but I always felt the promise of releasing material through Kosher was one less thing Marty had to worry about, where as signing with a new label might be a lot of work. Although, I’ve been hoping for a long time someone would re-release High Road/Low Road and Huggable Dust on vinyl.

Miss you Marty!

And my hopes for a new Okay record drift off into the sunset…

This is a bummer, as I feel they were hitting a nice, new stride from “Accelerate” to “Collapse Into Now.” The latter does make a nice swan song, though.

This is great. New Ryan Adams is the new old Ryan Adams.
