Finally getting around to—and absolutely loving—Deafheaven's New Bermuda led to me getting an absolutely massive list of metal recommendations from my fellow Gummers, which has been taking up my whole week. My ears are happy. My tinnitus is not.
I can't stress enough that I have no agenda when it comes to not liking RAM. Go through my entire comment history, or ask anyone around here how often I've acted like a contrarian/troll in the near decade I've been here. I love Daft Punk. I love dance music. I love to listen to and dance to dance music. The songs just weren't there for me.
I could've seen that tour in Japan but was too low on cash to justify it. What a mistake.
Counterpoint: RAM was a letdown and massively overrated.
Thanks to all the metalhead Gunners who recommended this band to me on Twitter. Will definitely be giving this one a spin.

Albums like this are one reason I picked up a second iPod Classic right as my first one was dying and Apple was discontinuing them. Ditto on "Strawberry Swing". The way Frank sings "an aaaAAAtom boooOOOOOOmmmb" is a pitch-perfect hook.
"Performers included...Trapt...Buckcherry..." Way to bury the lede.
Don't forget Vichy France rounding them up and handing them over to the Nazis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vichy_anti-Jewish_legislation
Is anyone even keeping track of Farrakhan/NOI/BHI endorsements by famous rappers anymore? Chuck D Ice Cube Jay Electronica Kendrick Lamar this douche
beeeeeeans Damn...Rosenstock, too? This year is nuts.
Hot damn didn’t even know he released an album
Thanks! Been meaning to check out Laura Marling for a long time.
I’d lost all hope that Strokes album would be any good, and the rest are brand new to me. thx bud
It happens. Fiona was one of the first artists my cool older sister introduced me to when I started high school, so she’s been my go-to for a long time. That’s some high praise for Pure X. Thanks!
Man, Perfume Genius... HE DON’T MISS
Dad I swear to God not in front of my friends
Yoooooo. Back from an extended hiatus where I fell way behind on any new music that’s not Fiona Apple. (Had Baby Goodo in March, so she’s been keeping us plenty busy.) What’s yr favorite album besides FTBC that’s come out since March?
It's a meme from Breath of the Wild that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate only made worse.
These songs are so grade school Philly I'm genuinely surprised there's no track called "Pretzel Money".
There isn't a weak track on it.
Too bad he misspelled the title of the song.

True, but we were kids. It's only after you watch Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino that you know what "razzle frazzle" really means.
Go back and watch Home Alone and you'll realize just how hard Joe Pesci is trying not to swear.

Fun fact: Sly's Rocky doesn't talk with a Philly accent. That's all New York. Little Marie who flips him off and says, "Hey, Rocky, SCREW YEW!"? That's Philly.
Lots to talk about, but props for putting "Teenage Dream" so high.
Q1 2010 will always be the best Q1: Vampire Weekend—Contra Owen Pallett—Heartland Four Tet—There Is Love In You Beach House—Teen Dream Gil Scott-Heron—I'm New Here Joanna Newsom—Have One on Me Titus Andronicus—The Monitor
The story behind that lyric reminds of the photo on the cover of one of my favorite albums, Contra. How does no one in the room say, "You know this person is gonna sue the shit out of us if this thing takes off, right?"?
