This is excellent, hope this album gets a lot of attention cos it feels like the last album was pretty slept on, Thirty was some of the best songwriting of the last decade
Also for what ever reason I couldn't comment on the Quarter Life Crisis post, but I just wanted to put it out there that Hand Habits rules and Duffy elevates everything they appear on
Also that cocaine list is entertaining on its own; for most songs (esp Miami Vice theme, obviously) you can pretty well tell how cocaine comes into it without even revisiting the review
Incredible work Tom, it's a genuine juggernaut at this point, absolutely loving it and couldn't even count how many people i've talked to in the real world about it over the last three years
This was the song I always played first when I was opening the bar I worked at this year. Over the last few years it has attached itself to a lot of good moments in my life, none as special and beautiful as Jimmie's story but what a nice thing to read just before going to sleep
I can't wait to hear the rest of this album but I can't believe how little noise i've heard for Open Mike Eagle! That guy has been killing it! I dunno, maybe I should focus on how good this week has been instead of how OME is the 8th(!) on the lineup of releases this week
Wild, absolutely knocked it out of the park, also pretty wild how much of a Jeff Rosenstock fan Seth Meyers seems to be? Don't know what I'd guess his style to be but that intro seemed genuine?
Two years ago I was at a wedding reception where they had a dj but also this random guy walking around playing infuriating saxophone fills along with whatever the dj played. After being hounded for it by drunk uncles all night the dj finally played baker street and the got dang saxman was in the bathroom.
Great first bonus track though! Keen for the rest of them
I'm no expert here, but I don't think it's as much about scamming people as it is about media/social media manipulation and strategically placing information in the path of specific, targeted populations. It's not so much about a specific individual, it's about identifying trends in the online habits of different demographics and the vulnerabilities that these online habits carry.
