There are about 15-20 albums I’m excited about today, it’s fucking insane, and yet all I’ve done is listen to the Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ B-Sides and Rarities Part II. Even his secondhand stuff towers high over most artists’ greatest accomplishments. He’s the greatest of all time. For those that like hardcore, don’t sleep on the new Cerce album. It’s free on Bandcamp.
Good god damn, there’s a ton of interesting shit this week.
Great album, was big for me back then, but anyone else think the mixing and mastering is kinda bleh?
That Knocked Loose EP is so fucking good.
Can’t wait for this album. I’ve been in contact with them and have an interview setup for my music blog which should be a lot of fun. Second awesome band this year I’m getting to interview.
This is so goddamn good. I was going to buy a $40 merch bundle but then the shipping was $20. Fuck outta here haha.
I don’t know shit about Paul Simon, but seems like his self titled are the only songs I can really tolerate. Crazy to see Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie introducing #7; the former is going to get waxed by KRS One in the next Verzuz.
I was pleasantly surprised by the James Blake album.
I deleted Facebook in January 2020 and haven’t missed it once. Still balls deep in Instagram though, and Twitter if I get bored.
I went to the inaugural one of these back in 2017 (I think?) and it was a lot of fun. We don’t get many festivals here but this and McDowell Mountain Music Festival are at least trying to get it going. That said, I won’t be attending this.
The Eras Five-State Distortion by Walrus Audio - got it mainly because of the blend knob that allows your clean signal to run parallel to the distortion signal. Will be very useful for stacking with the guitar and also for adding some grit to bass. Fuzz by Empress Effects - very simple pedal, but the low end frequencies sound impressive, and the eq is after the gain circuit. Mthrfckr=Rptr by Mild End Effects - most excited about this, not only because tape delays are my favorite and this one offers a fresh and unique take on it, but also has a cassette preamp that allows you to push the signal either with the pedal itself or by stacking an overdrive/distortion/fuzz before it (and I have the two aforementioned new ones to do just that with)
Gotta love when it says “we’re sorry, cannot post your comment, try again” just to make you look like more of a dummy than you already do, right guys? Right??

Ducks Ltd. is a fucking awful band name, so awful that I’ve never listened to them, but everyone here keeps talking about them so FINE ILL LISTEN.
I bought three new guitar effects pedals this week. *does the “SOMEBODY STOP ME!” thing from The Mask*
Would love to see Shakira wielding a high-powered assault rifle.
I don’t watch any sportsball anymore but it seems like, at least based on your 53 tweets yesterday, that their roster is doing much better than Donda.
How about fixing it by editing out 15 or so of the songs so there’s actually an album instead of just an amalgamation of half assed ideas?
Didn’t connect with Ultra Mono but I dig this song quite a bit so I’m cautiously back on the IDLES wagon for now.
Have a feeling both will be on my year end list.
Holy fucking shit! Having a hard time thinking of better news than this. I have no doubts the album is going to be perfection, cannot wait.
Yeah, anytime someone tries to send me a tiktok I’m like, “don’t have tiktok” and they’re like “why??!” And then I’m like “because I’m a grown man and I don’t record myself doing stupid fucking dances in my free time” and then they’re like “oh” and then I’m like “delete my number and go drive off a cliff, Thelma” and then they’re like “who’s Thelma?” and then I’m like “that’s what I call your mom when we rub our genitals together” and then they cry.
Really want to see what Blochead has to say to this comment since he sends about 40 tweets a day talking about the Yankees.
P.S. haven’t eaten at Applebee’s I’m about 15 years anyway.
I was watching some UFC fights a few weeks back and this god forsaken commercial played every single break. I’ll say this - I’m never fucking eating at fucking Applebee’s again.
I saw them in October 2019 for their short run as the album was released and then again January 2020, second to last show before the pandemic hit (Destroyer was the last). That brought my total Tool shows to seven and I went into that last one thinking it would be my last time. I’m still pretty sure it will be. They’re an incredible live band and the light show and graphics are always top notch, but seven is enough I think.
We’ve all had so many good laughs in here. Thanks for giving us a place to unhinge our silliness.
Very disappointing, I stayed up to hear it last night.
Wow, she can fuck off with this terrible idea for a song.
Now THIS is the type of stuff I’m hoping for from this column. All genres, all time periods, I want to know it all.
I have two of them tattooed on my body, also named my music blog after it.
Going to be a top 10er on the year for me
One of my favorite covers ever.
Don’t skip that Koma album posted yesterday. Also, there’s a new album out today by Olga Kouklaki called Dusty Diamond if you want some synth pop noir in your life.
