(There* ew so gross)
"Mombasa"; I think it's up there with their best songs. "Lament for Wasps" is definitely number 2.
This is it. I will accept no other suggestions.
To be clear, he seems like an enormous douche bag, but almost anyone's life would've peaked at that point.
I need to know what Eve 6 guy thinks of this.
Free people can slap whoever they want. You all asked for this.
Fuck yes, I love reading these so much, been taking notes every time I read through. It's still pop but at least it's pop I like this time. So excited to dig in.
Same man, it's by far my favorite Bad Seeds album. Can't wait to hear those songs.
There's a Grinderman song called "When My Love Comes Down", and those are the first words of "Vortex", but besides that and the tone for the guitar solos I'm not hearing much Grinderman in it. Kind of feels like a middle ground between the two bands so makes sense that they couldn't assign it to either.

Shockingly enough, I've never heard the first B-sides and rarities collection; it's not on spotify, amazon prime, or available to purchase through iTunes as far as I can tell, but I'm not that good with the internet. Anyone know the best place to buy it or hear it?
Yeah came here to say this. I've watched the majority of both listening parties so far and have enjoyed them. It would be cool if the album actually materialized, but it was really interesting to see the improvement in the music from the first show to the second.
New WIITR and Deafheaven on the same day is some monumental shit, even with the latter softening their edges.
I also hate that. Not sure about iTunes or what else you use to play music, but Spotify has a setting you can change to prevent it from doing that.
Every month I discover new shit that I love from this column. Everything here is solid, but really pumped to hear the whole Supine album mid September.

Hidden track that's just them blowing duck calls through a reverberated microphone for 23 minutes straight.
Being that I trust Mr. Michael Nelson more than most people I've actually met in real life, this is such great news to hear. I could not be more excited to experience this thing as a whole come Thursday night.
A Michael Nelson PE of a Deafheaven album in 2021? Life does not get any better.
I thought you were my friend…🥺
Didn’t even think of that, mainly because I’m a big dumb idiot, so I’m glad I asked! Good luck with yours my man.
How did you send it? A physical copy? For my album I released last November I’ve only tried tagging labels on social media posts and it doesn’t work that great since I don’t have a lot of followers.
It’s so entirely shitty that it evokes genuine anger inside of me.
Oh yeah baby, inject this into my veins. Side note: I sure do fucking hate all caps tracklists
What’s that they say? “No idea is original”, or in this case, “this guy doesn’t have any talent so he’s blatantly stealing from a few 90s bands”.
What is summer? Time is a flat circle and we’re all in a feedback loop of pain and suffering :)
He’s got damn awful.
I watched every second of the Verzuz and my jaw was just in the fucking floor man. I’ve loved LOX since they were on bad boy, I’ve loved the Diplomats since Come Home With Me, so needless to say I was hyped. It was clear from the first song that Diplomats were there to have fun and LOX were there to prove something. You could tell the way Cam rapped “Get Em Girls” that he knew he had to do something, but even at that early point, it was already too late. Jada’s “Who Shot Ya” freestyle was the nail in the coffin and everything after that was LOX dancing on the Dipset grave. I’ve always been a Jadakiss fan, I played the ever living fuck out of Kiss The Game Goodbye (which just turned 20) when it dropped and I still listen to some of it from time to time. There’s a reason their bag was so deep, and that he was on every fucking remix for 10 years; he’s that goddamn good. They left a lot of songs out and still won by light years. Before this I’d say that Jada was a top 25 of all time rapper, now I’m having a hard time thinking he’s not closer to 10, and that’s because, even a week later, I don’t think there are too many, dead or alive, that could’ve done what he did that night. It’s a night that myself and millions of hip hop fans will never forget. Here’s my LOX playlist that I’ve had for a year or so. Been bumping it nonstop for a week: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/764QZ8PBpfiMaXREbWW0tz?si=ixz_whAUQFSnHGeYuP3Ljw&dl_branch=1
"Hey Johnny, how about we fuckin' put out Dear Tommy?" "No" "Why?" "Because fuck our fans, that's why" "Well then, we're off to make music that will come nowhere close to reaching what we're capable of here" "As am I" A modern tragedy. Sad this is how it all played out.
Best column in the history of the internet. Can we do some songs that aren't as poppy?
It’s worth a listen or two, just can’t see myself revisiting it often.
Hit boy is dragging down one of the best emcees in the history of rap.
Yeah, I’ll never listen to this again.
Please refrain from using the word “Yankee”. It will summon a fiercely motivated and relentless Twitter troll that no amount of downvotes can banish.
I am still going to give it a really good shot. I love this band so much and they've opened up so many doors for me that I preordered the vinyl and a t-shirt regardless of how the first single sounded. I'm going to sit with it many times and I'm sure I'll enjoy some of it, it just doesn't seem like it's going to blow my mind like the last three albums.
This is my stance as well. I don't think the clean vocals would bother me if they were still riffing hard and beautifully like we're used to. Sigh. It's depressing.
I don't know too much about him, but from what I've heard, I agree.
Honestly, that's one of the coolest things I've heard in a long time.
