  • Somewhat unexpected.... The new Liam Gallagher album might be one of my favorites of the year.

    I don't believe Liam wrote most of the songs on the album. Which might be why it's so good. I've also always been more team Noel too.

    Liam was involved in the writing of every song on this album (unlike the last one where I think a couple had nothing to do with him) but he works with a songwriting team. My understanding is that he brings them a basic song structure (lyrics/melody/acoustic bar chords) and they build it up around that.

    Yeah, I started to doubt what I said after I thought about One Of Us obviously being about Noel.
    3 weeks since I last bought a new record! Is there a law where after a certain amount of time I lose my title of record collector?
    Why would you cover a song with so many specific references about another band and put it smack in the middle of your own album? You know who this is about!

    @Sonicpharmacist Lana Del Ray has a cover of Doin' Time on her new album. The other thing I don't like about this album is that all the cursing seems unnecessary.

    I'm sure the Lana stans that have never heard of Sublime think it's a masterpiece. I kinda like the ethereal vibe she brings to it though. As for the cursing, all her albums starting with Paradise have been parental advisory, so it's fairly on brand.

    Oh, yeah, I watched the video, just because she’s purdy. I despise Sublime.
    This Oasis podcast is pretty but it just seems like an audio version of Supersonic.

    I didn’t fancy it based on the blurb because the band didn’t seem to be involved. Without Noel and Liam it’s pointless.

    There was a good definitely Maybe dvd with documentary done for its 10th anniversary in 2004. If you’ve not seen that you should look it up, is probably the best one for just that album.

    There is old interview clips of the band in it. But the point is more that it's from the point of view of the other people involved.
    Not going to lie....kind of obsessed with the Woodstock As It Happened radio broadcast.
    Why do Elbow albums always have songs with Extreme dynamics on it? It's been a while since I listened to The Seldom Seen Kid and I about jumped through the roof when those horns hit!

    They were part of an anti brickwalling campaign at one point. I think there was a message about it in the booklet of one of the albums. It may have even been Seldom Seen Kid, I can’t remember properly...

    Interesting. What do you mean by brickwalling? I know there's similar startling moments on the first 2 albums as well.
    Joe Mac

    Brickwalling was the tool of the loudness wars. Basically involved a technique of compressing the music to turn everything up to 11 and lose all dynamics
    Woodstock moving to Merriweather?! Is this a, Joke? I have tickets to the Smashing Pumpkins Noel Gallagher show that weekend. Now it will most likely be cancelled or moved.

    @EvanBenner Sounds like he wants to hold both shows?? However the hell that would work!

    What does it say. I'm in a meeting and can't read it all.

    Hurwitz [Merriweather owner] tells Billboard. "We made a deal quickly contingent on him putting a show together and dealing with the fact that we have a show booked on one of those dates. So now I’m just a venue waiting to see if the promoter with the hold is going to confirm."
    Looking for recommendations for a cheap Bluetooth speaker to play music at a bbq. Under $50. Doesn't need to sound incredible but don't want it to sound like an AM radio either. And go!

    Used/renewed UE Megabooms hover around the 60-70 mark on Amazon. Those get loud.

    I have a UE MiniBoom that I use in the kitchen, and I think it was around that price. Sounds okay.

    I got a JBL Clip 3. Good battery life; has a built in carabiner which I like for throwing it on a backpack; multiple colors if that matters. Fine sound - I used it on a daily basis during some extended training and had no complaints. 50-60 if you have some wiggle.
    Sleeve City 2.5 sleeves are out of stock for 6-8 weeks?! I have 2 left. What do I do?!
    Is there a way on the Band Camp app to pre-download stuff so you can listen to it offline directly on the app? Similar to Spotify? I got 18 hours of Radiohead music to get through somehow!

    Usually when I listen to an item using my phone using the app, it downloads it because it’s available offline, to my surprise.

    Made it about 3 tracks into the new Silversun Pickups album until I couldn't do it anymore. We'll always have those first 2 albums.

    Maybe I owe it more attention. The first track was fine, the second track was pretty bad, the third track didn't do anything to keep me coming back. Decided I really just wanted to listen to “The Royal We" five times in a row.

    Yeah, its definitely not Carnavas or Swoon. Way cleaner and tighter. I’d be surprised to see another album like the early ones, frankly. I’m a little surprised this one came out - apparently the only reason they went into the studio was because Vig wanted to and was available.

    I think I heard on the radio that they basically had to work around his schedule.
    My Doves pre orders all had bent corners. Nooooo!!!!

    The most annoying part of the whole thing is that the bend is on the spine so I will see it when they sit on my shelf.

    Placed an order for another set from the US uDiscover using the Dad code. Then I'll figure out what to do with these.

    I did listen to Lost Souls since I had it unwrapped and it sounded flawless!

    Not a music question, just a question for a trusted community. What's the best place to but perscription sunglasses online? Mine fell apart and don't want to pay retail store prices.
