As if the music press are going to give up one of their biggest sources of clicks
So he's the Australian Kanye, am I right guys?!
This handwringing is so tiresome. Really couldn't care less who he supports when it comes to his albums. To be honest, Kanye's MAGA nonsense is less embarrassing than how many seemingly sane celebrities lost their shit over Hillary Clinton before her downfall (that Broad City cameo). At least with Kanye you know he's just an idiot.
What the hell, when did FKA Twigs move to 8th November?! I'm clearly out of the loop
Their next album will feature a cover of the Beatles song Taxman
It's not quite a fair comparison though, Painting With came out in 2016, which wasn't that long ago. Kveikur was 2013.
He might have more opportunities but you know that depression and suicide is a big issue with men, right? And that is because of the patriarchal society we live in.
New album early next year hopefully?
Rape accusation against Michael Gira a few years ago
Benji was massively overrated when it came out, doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a best of the decade list. If anyone got shafted because the music press don't want problematic people on these lists now it's Swans
And live-action Cats if you want some nightmare fuel as well
More Blood, More Tracks - my favourite Dylan album, great hearing all the New York sessions (now posted in the right place!)

Should have done a collaboration with Gruff Rhys seeing as they both named their album Pang
So he's got a number of great albums then?
Joan Shelley/Bon Iver (on CD anyway)/Lana Del Rey/Sheryl Crow (shut up) for me this week. I'm glad I stuck around long enough for Sheryl Crow to finally become sort of cool
Disappointed to learn that Fuck It I Love You isn't a Malcolm Middleton cover
No. 1 and No. 2 on Stereogum and Pitchfork's Albums of the Year lists. It'll be total domination!
We're not really comparing sexual assault and political apathy now are we?
People to blame for Trump winning Trump voters Hillary Clinton James Comey People not to blame Taylor Swift or any other celebrity
Maybe we can get some Mac de Marco/Mitski fan type beef going between Gruff Rhys and Caroline Polachek fans over them both releasing new albums this autumn called Pang
Quick turnaround by their standards! That album cover is very End of Evangelion
God forbid anyone should make upbeat music these days. Are we saying that all upbeat music made in the 80s and the 2000s was meaningless and pointless?
One Beat/The Woods/No Cities to Love all have worse covers
I'm glad I stayed a Sheryl Crow fan long enough to see her become cool again
Great news, a new album and it's due out....25th October?! Argh!
As we enter the second half of the year, here's all of Pitchfork's 2019 BNM albums so far (wasn't sure if Beyonce counted as it's a live album but included it anyway). Will any of these be their album of the year? I guess Big Thief is the obvious main contender. Beyonce (live album) – 9.3 Big Thief – 9.2 Helado Negro – 8.5 Weyes Blood – 8.5 Fennesz – 8.5 Jamila Woods – 8.5 Bill Callahan – 8.5 Sharon Van Etten – 8.4 Jessica Pratt – 8.4 Cate Le Bon – 8.4 Solange – 8.4 Sunn O))) – 8.4 Mannequin Pussy – 8.4 Slowthai – 8.4 RAP – 8.4 Moodymann – 8.4 Thom Yorke – 8.3 CHAI – 8.3 Nivhek – 8.3 Nilufer Yanya – 8.3 Denzel Curry – 8.3 MIKE – 8.3 Polo G – 8.3 Leif – 8.3 Black Midi – 8.2

How dare one of the greatest film directors ever do a documentary about one of the greatest music tours ever!
*points to the box office for a lot of these films*
Rocketman was OK (Jamie Bell was very good in it), but it’s still basically A N Other musician biopic. I think some of the more effusive praise has come from reviewers still traumatised by Bohemian Rhapsody and its mammoth succes and now desperately embracing a film that’s at least competent. Walk Hard was a perfect parody of these sorts of films, which have generally been dry and all in the same mould long before Bohemian Rhapsody (Love and Mercy maybe being a rare exception?)
It's good! I want an album release date at least damn it!
With that title, is it an attack on milquetoast centrist politics a la Hillary Clinton? Or maybe they're just big fans of Yeats. Or Ben Frost.
