For a band that's so chill, getting Beach House tickets was one of the most stressful things I could've done this morning.
(Also copped Turnstile tickets for May. Now it's a holiday.)
It's really cool for the independent music community to willingly give up their chance to press records in order to help this scrappy unknown make it. 🙂
I'm pretty squarely in the "Genesis/Phil Collins sucks" camp, but this is just kinda sad to see. I've also heard he's been off-key and forgetting lyrics during their UK tour too.
I mean as it stands now, it's not a great thing to do and kudos for wanting to change, but it also really feels like making a mountain out of a molehill by airing it out in public? "I'm a self-centered 20-something" isn't really a crime worth stopping your band's momentum over.
Fun fact: This was the only album that I ever got a notice from my ISP for downloading. Having your grandmother explain that she watched the "Bonfire" video out of curiosity is a deep level of internal embarrassment that's never been matched by any other album.
Can't wait to come up with so many different excuses just to throw people off at work when I get some swag. Also the store launching on payday is some next-level timing.
The vibe I get from Will Smith is that he's trying to be real and relatable after so many years of being this perfectly manicured movie star, but it just comes off as kinda uncomfortable and TMI more than anything else.
Also I've heard rumors he's an anti-vaxxer so :p.
Every time I listen to IDLES, I always think "Man I might've been wrong about this band, they fucking rip". Then Joe Talbot opens his mouth.
Anyways can't wait for the new Courtney Barnett album.
I snagged tickets for one of the Pavement reunion shows in Brooklyn, and I'm at a point where it'll be worth it regardless of whether they're on fire or if Stephen's passive-aggressively checked out like some of the stories I've read about the last reunion.
I honestly thought they broke up years ago, but still a bummer to hear. "The Weather Song" will always be a jam:

I was talking with my dad yesterday about WOD and he mentioned that they would be bigger if they changed their name.
In unrelated news, what are the worst unsolicited music opinions you've gotten from your parents?
