This is such a random, inspired collaboration. Glad it worked out. Didn't know what Brad is up to these days but happy to see his Bandcamp is quite active with him throwing up all kinds of random stuff. Medicine is one of the minor gems of the shoegaze era.
This is a good thing, but let's not pretend it's a purely altruistic cause for her. She sells a lot of physical product alongside streaming, so it's in her interest to maintain the integrity of the album format as a fixed, recognizable product. This could also help to get additional plays for songs that don't have the high play numbers of her biggest singles.
In this case it's the antiquated decrepit venue with poor infrastructure. Steep seating, long tight entry tunnels, too few bathrooms, narrow concourse that gets jammed. They don't actually hold many concerts in the bowl itself these days but out on the surrounding grounds.
I keep thinking this is a free concert by a Larry Hoover when I see it written. Terrible venue to try to manage a massive combined Kanye + Drake crowd.
Earplugs are a MUST. Always keep some in the car. (Without them Squid's bass would have blown out my ears last night in the small room they played here.)
This might make for an interesting article--show going habits. Do you always have a drink, where do you usually stand or sit, do you buy merch, do you take pictures, sing along, dance, take, come early for openers, etc.
Not sure the comparison is quite apt... Ted Lasso still has some spark and freshness that Foos lost long ago and sounds like the show's plan is to not hang around beyond its natural expiration date.
She's tiresome indeed, but her case was not really a contract issue. Her former label just sold her old masters to an individual she didn't like. This is all a purely spiteful move on her part.
Hot track. These kids are bonkers in the best way. Interesting lateral move from Warp to Rough Trade. And to think Georgia is in both Black Country New Road and this project, pretty wild.
The Who's LP run from My Generation to Quadrophenia holds up. The Stones never attempted anything half as ambitious as the Who. Even when the Who missed, they were at least trying for something new, which the Stones have never really done. Finally Live at Leeds is the greatest live album of all time.
Oh I meant the engagement to the actress was a stunt. Not sure about this cancellation and disappearance stuff. But anything coming from this project must be taken with a grain of salt. (You do know there is no one "he", right? It's been multiple actors playing this character.)
