I'll say it, I fucking miss pretentious/snobby pitchfork. At least they had something to say. They stopped kicking against mainstream thought and just kind of joined it. But perhaps that's because they helped shaped the current state of music. I'm sure it's just a cycle, similar to how Rolling Stone/NME once had an interesting take on music. But it's always sad when your generation follows the same cycle when you thought you would be the fools who kept the party going.
Anyone else worried about dollface signing to Stereogum? I mean, I'm excited to see how the sophomore release will sound, but we've all seen what this label does to people.
Yeah. From what I remember it was always part of the streaming release track list on his site. When I bought a physical copy at his show, it wasn't in the tracklist.
Listened to 'Two Dancers' again the other day. Such a great album. I still have a feeling they will get back together. Either way, Two Dancers and Smother are top notch. Kind of like their OK Computer and Kid A, with the rest of their discography being as solid as Radiohead's.
To the person who suggested the John Cale and Brian Eno album last week, you've sent me down a John Cale rabbit hole. Who knew one boy from Wales and his viola could show up in New York and change everything. It's kind of ridiculous how many classic albums he's involved with. But yeah, Paris 1919 has been my jam this week. Really solid album.
I haven't listened to Kid606 since back in high school when I thought I was cool for listening to everything on Ipecac records. Perhaps I should check him out again.
I thought 'Woman' was an album that was sort of capitalizing on the trends of the time. However, I kept coming back to it, and now it's one of the staples in my autumn listening.
This single has been my favourite so far. Hopefully this album has a similar effect.
Reminds me of The Trip where Rob Brydon is yelling at Steve Coogan, "You got stuck halfway towards your destination. You're stuck in a metaphor!" Implying it's a metaphor for his career.
'Folk Hero' by Loamlands is such a great song. I was wondering just yesterday why more people didn't like it. But that line of thinking is stupid anyways. So I stopped thinking about it.
