Kendrick Lamar is corny, literally made Taylor Swift and Imagine Dragons song worse.
Someone burn down the Coca Roxy for me please
Love Big Thief, but they are not that great live.
Sideways to New Italy was so underrated. Feel like a lot of people would like RBCF if they heard them.
Despite his guitar shirt, I’m convinced that the freak in charge of Spotify has never actually listened to music.
We Used to Wait (for the blockchain to confirm transactions)
Pelle Almqvist is an unbelievable frontman, loved him at Shaky Knees.
Transmitter! Oh picking up something good.
Nervous about this album, “I Don’t Here Anymore” is clunky, and doesn’t really approach anything on A Deeper Understanding. Hopefully the other songs are better, can’t really take much from this review, other than the reviewer has a tin ear.
Think I've seen the Strokes four or five times live, and I think this one was my favorite. Nothing beats being up close for a Strokes show and yelling out lyrics with other Strokes fans. The unbelievable songwriting really comes out live whether Julian is singing every last word or not. The new songs are all just great additions live(was happy that they stopped Ode to the Mets-as I think its one of the weakest new ones).Setlist choice as a whole pushed it over the top for me, band sounded great/ppl were into it/5 out of 5 stars
My main takeaway from this set was that the Los Ageless riff sounds really good live. And that she has a pretty thin setlist for as big as her reputation is. She could add Cruel to it to help, but still she just doesn’t have that many out and out bangers.
Interesting that Stereogum would partner would Shaky Knees as they’ve (intentionally imo) ignored it since it’s inception. Hopefully they don’t have anything to do with lineups or whatever else going forward.
Never realized that Johnny Marr played on Naked and wrote the guitar part for "Nothing But Flowers" until now, holy crap.
Obviously not a great year for music-which makes sense bc 2020 was an all time year- but the Buck Meek and Faye Webster albums have to be up there in contention for album of the year.
Oh no fears confirmed, not feeling this too much.
Honestly scared for this- only because Heat Wave and Pristine are two perfect, iconic songs that I can't imagine anyone following, even the artist that created them.
Not sure how great this album holds up in general but Vomit will always rip.
Strokes are one of my all time faves, but I think im going to skip out of the Tumor at TWest.
Yves Tumor was obviously amazing, not surprising given how great the album and EP are. Thought Dehd and Faye Webster were some other artists who stood out, on shows that I caught on stream this weekend.
All rap sounds the same, no wonder it’s more who you know that gets you a record deal.
