Yeah, everyone knows there was no racism in 1973
There's selling out, and then there's selling out.
It's been occasional glimmers of life for about 25 years now
Yeah, you should not comment on a TV show unless you can demonstrate that you are a superior professional TV writer.
It's really kind of upsetting at how good he is at Twitter AND music. It's like, pick a lane and leave some for the rest of us, dude.
I don't think anyone's mad about the catchy song but rather the unusual amount of opportunity and attention they're receiving at this stage, particularly in comparison to other equally if not more deserving artists.
I don't see this hitting FM alt radio, it's a too dry and punky to slot alongside those bands and no one knows WTF a chaise is. It may seem like they're everywhere but it's only within a very narrow range of cool kids and niche outlets. The fever pitch around them will not get any bigger than it is now.

These 2 chapters/8 songs/40 minutes are the best album of 2021 full stop
Damn these Grammys just can't catch a break!
Related to this streaming hellscape that is gauging smaller artists, did people catch the story broken by Benn Jordan about the former NYT journalist that bilked 400+ indie artists into giving away original music and signing over royalties to his wife's phony nonprofit? https://www.inputmag.com/culture/ian-urbina-new-york-times-spotify-music-royalties-benn-jordan-youtube

All things considered, for a debut event in a new city in a Goldenvoice territory, this is a damn good lineup. I wouldn't have minded a different venue as this park is not all that great. Hope to see some good preshows over that week and that they allow bands to book club shows in town once it sells out.
I heard whispers of an August thing coming together but didn't expect it to be this stacked. This kind of lineup owes a lot to the groundbreaking of FYF Fest (R.I.P.)
Her and Arca are seem to be in a race to see who can imagine the bleaker future for humanity
I feel this angst as well, but I would bet new material is coming sooner rather than later. They got a ton of solo work, soundtracks, and archival releases out over this current hiatus. On the AMSP tour, the nightly sets were like 25% new songs, they played every song from it. Plus they dust off random deep cuts on each tour. Their visual presentation of each tour makes each time feel unique (I'd give U2 that same nod.) I'd imagine they will continue all this on the next cycle and make it feel worth the wait.
These pearl clutchers no doubt consumed every last scrap of online gossip about this thing and now act like they're above something like this
Breaking news: Seth Rogen talking about getting high
Can she also see exactly what she did wrong in 2021's House of Gucci?
Sounds about right, they're as about as relevant as each other
Cool to see the Dessners getting more and more movie work. Their soundtrack for C'mon C'mon is great.
Both sides of this are certain what policies will be appropriate 10 months from now?
Right, a great single or even two does not a great band make. Their live clips show them as just competent performers but hardly transcendent and each subsequent song doesn't really reveal any new tricks.
Wait--they have 6, maybe 7 songs?!
Did you know his dad was in 9/11? Bet you feel bad now!
Ah that old story, running into Ed Sheeran on video shoots, as one does. They're fun and catchy AF but nothing radically new. Some of Dry Cleaning's influence obvious. Two sellout headline LA shows and added to the Chvrches gigs. The machine is clearly on full throttle for them.
This Kelly Covers Column has kind of become a running joke where Tom does his overpraising thing and the peanut gallery does their complaining thing
Don't forget about UCLA, a lock for the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl after crushing Cal

Don't think he's referring to awards ceremonies but the broader changes rapidly infiltrating many areas of the culture
This is helpful reading for anyone equating CK whacking it in front of 2 ladies from the across room to what MM is charged with.
Nice. Always the tastiest covers with these guys. Hopefully there's at least a few couple songs that get out in a damn 20 night stand. Looks like James is a little trimmer in the footage than the stock photo up top, good for him.
Indeed. He does seem to like the ugliest guitars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ0BUUENAcY
Not bad? A bit Muse-y? Those offbeat disco hi-hats will always get you going.
