  • I had never really given Jason Isbell a chance before checking out some of the new album. Now I have bought 4 of his records.
    I still don't know how to feel about the new Car Seat Headrest LP. I feel I have to reset my expectations when I listen to it...and maybe I'd enjoy it more. Or it's just not very good. Part of me thinks it sounds like a contract fulfillment, another part of me thinks maybe it's just Will Toledo getting annoyed with being labeled as an indie ROCK star. Either way, I don't know what to do with it.

    He's slowly taking the Youth Lagoon route. Soon he'll rebrand as Will Toledo

    I just found it boring. Other than Hollywood makes me want to puke really making me cringe. I feel like I need to give it another shot. I don't get the statements I've seen about "the reason people don't like it is because electronic music." That isn't why I found it boring. I loved his last two albums and definitely not just because they were guitar rock.

    Yeah I agree. I don’t mind the electronic shift, or his change up in styles song to song. It’s just not all that engaging. The songwriting feels weak, the melodies aren’t strong or memorable, the flow is all over the place. Hollywood is definitely the worst song on it.

    That Other Music documentary is well worth a watch. Got me to pick up Just Another Diamond Day by Vashti Bunyan just based on a few mentions of it.

    I've had my eye on getting it since getting the Mutual Benefit cover album from Sounds Delicious a while back, just never pulled the trigger yet. if you haven't heard the Mutual Benefit version I'd highly recommend it, it might be my favorite of all the Sounds Delicious cover albums.

    Turns out that Mutual Benefit version is still available so I might just have to pull the trigger on that one too

    Agreed - love the doc. Also, one of the employees featured in the doc is a co-worker of mine and he/she is a great person to work with.
    Wasn't sure what to expect from the new Fiona Apple based on internet hype, but damn...it's fantastic. It certainly sounds like an artist at the absolute height of her powers, taking so much full control. Like Kate Bush when she went all-in on The Dreaming. I have been a fan of Fiona's for a while now, and this is exactly what I wanted from a new album (without realizing it).
    I thought that new Fiona Apple album was coming out today but it’s next Friday... Oh well, new Laura Marling should hold me over till then maybe
    It only took me nearly 7 years, but I finally bought Random Access Memories on vinyl. And this feels like a new experience.
    The fire alarm for my entire building went off. I thought, oh not now please this is the worst timing! But it was a false alarm I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Still we all had to go outside. It turns out it was probably the construction people who have been here for weeks.
    Gotta be honest, the coronavirus scare was starting to hit me, but when the NBA made that announcement, it got realer.
    Really don’t like the new Car Seat Headrest song. And I’m a fan of the previous stuff. Also reading the press release about the new LP has me not all that interested...which is not what I was expecting when I heard the news initially.
    Got the new Caroline Rose record in the mail a week early! Love it when this happens.
    New Land Of Talk! I highly suggest picking up that Saddle Creek exclusive color cause it’s only 250 copies and will sell out.

    New song is really good as well.

    Not for nothing but I'm surprised that that the Life After Youth SC exclusive hasn't shot up in value at all. Makes me think this one might stick around.

    @Melt Face Molly Drop i haven’t looked at the price since it came out, but I remember it selling out. I got one and really love that album. But it seems like it didn’t get much attention
    I still don’t get the release strategy of the new Moses Sumney. But...this first half of the album is doing it for me. I will try to stay away from it too much though cause I’d rather listen to the entire thing in one go, not two separate parts.

    I'm grateful to have the time to absorb one half before the other hits.

    it just makes me feel like I'm not listening to a complete thing. Especially the way it's laid out on Apple Music, with all the tracks from pt 1 and 2 listed together.
    Haven’t heard the single but anything Sufjan is an automatic for me. Will this be closer to his “solo” stuff? I really really hope so

    Just read that it’s instrumental. I mean, I’m down for that, but it’s not what I wanted from Sufjan right now. Come on...

    It's new age/ambient/electronic.
    Someone let me know when the new Against All Logic record has a pre-order up. I was able to get the last one before it completely sold out, and don’t wanna miss out on the new one.
    As expected, this Frances Quinlan album is really, really great. It still sounds like Hop Along, though not quite as busy instrumentally - yet there's still plenty going on.
