I live and die by Faith No More, and I have done so for most of my memory. They combine just enough metal not to terrify me with a self-conscious weirdness that I find endlessly endearing. I haven't followed all of Patton's stuff outside of FNM and Mr. Bungle--how could anyone, really?--but I will champion that Dillinger Escape Plan EP that he is on. Again, that kind of aesthetic is not usually my thing, but Patton is on it, so it *is* my thing.
I'm a little late to the party on this one, but apparently, Noel Gallagher is now feuding with Christmas. Family-dinner-potato-peeling crisis averted! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bb3fuVhox8
I never looked as good as him when I skated to the beach.
This is terrible news. We cared a lot, Chuck. You will be missed.
I have lots of thoughts about this, my youth, but I will merely summarize those thoughts as follows: WBRU in the 1990s was a great, great thing. Also, thanks for this article.
I'm genuinely trying to imagine what making out to Sigur Ròs would be like, and I'm not sure that I'd dig it. I'm also genuinely imagining a relationship in which I would communicate to my girlfriend solely in the language of Jónsi Birgisson; she, in turn, would respond as Elizabeth Fraser. I imagine this relationship would not last very long. In other news, "Damage" wins this record.
Any numerical listing of DJ Shadow songs is obligated to contain "The Number Song." There are no arguments to the contrary ;-)
I really think they should have gone with "Liam Gallagher Addresses Reunion Rumors: 'Potato'" for the headline here.

I saw them on sale, literally, once in my local supermarket. They were gone as suddenly as they appeared. Never had the chance to try them.

I am super excited about this reunion. They sound great.
I have come here to say that, when I saw this announcement on Tanya Donelly's Facebook feed, I chimed in to welcome Belly back. Almost immediately, Tanya liked my comment. "Tanya Donelly likes this," my computer screen told me. That's my story. I declare it one of the best stories ever written.
My appetite for this particular aesthetic, and maybe even this particular band, is endless. Yet, I'm a little worried. I saw DIIV back in 2012, and they killed it, which inspired me to buy Oshin, which I've listened to almost on an endless loop since then. So I was psyched to hear that they were opening for Ride. Regrettably, I was not psyched to see them open for Ride, because they were really, really, really boring--and seemingly really bored. I'm still hopeful, but a little less so than I was a few months back.
I am excited about this record. I do have a question, though: why is Grimes so clumsy? It seems like she keeps dropping things.
Whatever happened to Pete the Chop? No, seriously . . . no love for that one? I'm also really fond of their cover of "Dancing Barefoot."
Definitely "Thank You Space Expert." And yes, "Stop Coming to My House" should be here, too.
Thank you for this. This news is good news. I like it.
This news is very good news.
I have never been so happy to have been born during the Carter administration. Somebody get that mofo on the phone.
