They played Bell, Society, On the Street, and Tumult on their 2018 full band tour, claiming they were covers of an obscure British punk band called Blazin Lazers. They all ripped live, so I'm super excited the recorded versions are coming so soon
I saw Bedouine play Sunshine Sometimes at a festival last summer when it was still untitled. After she played it, she said its working title was Wildflower and asked the crowd what they would call it. Someone shouted out Sunshine Sometimes, which fit the song so well, so I'm thrilled to see she went with that one!
After re-listening to most of his discog, I feel confident in saying Eraserland is now my favorite album of Tim's. It's so fully realized, personal, and hits in all the right ways. I don't think it'll end up being his final record, but if it is then it's one hell of a way to go out.
P.S. I wasn't a fan of Tim's jam phase during the Hard Love tour but goddamn if I don't want to hear a 15 minute version of Eraserland's title track
Nelsonville Music Festival - Nelsonville, OH
It's like Newport Folk Fest and Pickathon's little sibling. Its lineups are well-curated and diverse, it's located on a small college campus right in Hocking Hills state park, and has a strong emphasis on arts and zero-waste initiatives.
I think it's his best work next to Pope Killdragon. Not quite as grandiose as HEAL and way tighter than Hard(er) Love and has his most personal lyrics. MMJ does a fantastic job as the backing band and reigns in the worst of Tim's jam tendencies that crept in on Hard(er) Love.
My favorite of theirs, without a doubt. The production work is beautiful and there are still killer rockers like Start Together, The End of You, and Get Up alongside the softer beauts like Tom mentioned
I was at a music festival a few years ago and saw Doug just chilling sitting in the grass watching outsider folk legend Michael Hurley do his thing. Dude's great
I love There Is No Enemy so much. I got to see them play my all-time favorite deep cut Tomorrow in 2016 and it was everything I'd hoped for. It's one of those rare records where I love the second half more than the first, even though the first is pretty killer too. But damn, that run from Pat through the end of the album is an all-timer for me
I can't fucking wait for their 20th anniversary tour to hit the US. I've seen them 6 times and it was only during the first time in 2011 that they played Broken Chairs and lemme tell you it was crushing
I think you're right, they seem like the most obvious ones to be the last minute replacement given that they were already announced to headline Shaky Knees and headlined Desert Daze last year.
Earlier rumors had Justin Timberlake headlining until he cancelled his tour, which makes me think Ariana was his replacement.
Phil, I just discovered your Burning Ambulance podcast and really enjoyed your roundtable with Shabaka Hutchings, Yazz Ahmed, and Nubya Garcia. I look forward to digging into the backlog as well as listening to the albums on this list that I haven't heard yet. That Nicole Mitchell record in particular sounds right up my alley.

3. U.S. Girls - In a Poem Unlimited
4. Haley Heynderickx - I Need To Start A Garden

10. Gang Gang Dance -- Kazuashita
If you have Amazon Prime, I just noticed the other day that they added a bunch of 70s/80s game shows like Password, Family Feud, Match Game, and a ton of others I've never heard of. Now, none of them likely hold a candle to Jeopardy but it's a start at least
"Taking a cue from the opening credits soundtracked by “Starless,” the best King Crimson song ever, Jóhannsson alternates between starry astral synths and towering doom metal"
Well shit I guess I need to see Mandy asap
Has anyone here ever seen Nik Bärtsch's Ronin or Mark Guiliana's Space Heroes live? Both are coming to my area soon and I wanted some input on whether I should check them out.
