Right?!l

Right! Now I shall remain vigilant! When Dig Me Out turned 20 they offered a signed LP + T-shirt + poster + the 33⅓ book on the album bundle! And their Bandcamp page crashed! (I did get the bundle, though! :D) Imagine if this time they add a lock of Janet's hair! The whole Internet will implode like a son of a bitch! No more Drumpftweets! Although that would be nice!

Primavera should reunite Sonic Youth to bring ne back to Barcelona. It became too big and crowded for me.

Got my ticket for Roadburn. I don't think I cam make it to Off too.

that would be sweet.

but have you see the line up? pretty cool this year...

I might join you guys for Roadburn. Not sure if it will be for the complete fest yet, but I want to see Mono play their ‘Hymn to the Immortal Wind’ album

but it's already sold out ? :(

Efrim is playing Primavera? I do hope he goes on a fullscale Europe tour ...

I'm afraid Roadburn is sold out

Out now: Juliana Hatfield, Weird.



Liner notes by Laura Fisher

Interview with AllMusic: How the Awesome Power of Solitude Fueled Juliana Hatfield's New Album, Weird

Can't tell ya how much Saoirse Ronan and I relate to this stuff. :)

https://julianahatfield.bandcamp.com/album/weird

Lol.

Fair enough.

But in my defense... that album cover.
Plus I’ve always had an Annie Potts thing, so you primed the pump.

But fuck yeah Fennesz!

it is really good!

where do you listen all the new stuff these days? bandcapm? spotify? do not tell me that you are buying all the releases.

I test new stuff out on Apple Music if it’s big enough to be on major services, and check Bandcanp for the a lot of the other stuff. I do still buy music, but not much.

Kid Koala has a new album coming out?
What?

Yes.

Crazy.



One of those artists I sometimes forget exists.

Speaking of artists overdue for a new album with “Kid” in their name, I’d love to hear something new from fucking KID KANEVIL for fuck’s sake!

so bandcamp and spotify would be probably best one for all the "independent" and "underground" stuff? I need to get a some good mobile data package to be able to listen to it while commuting, which is probably best time for me listen to music these days. I miss all the blogs with links to filesharing sites.

Trust me, the combination of Spotify+Bandcamp is gold. I use Spotify for nearly everything (I have the premium account, though) and what I can't find there, I find on Bandcamp.
On Spotify there's tons of underground stuff too, if you're not looking into the really obscure.

It's a shame but I don't buy records anymore.

Apple Music and Spotify have almost the same exact library of artists and music at this point. I think the only thing Spotify has that Apple Music doesn’t have are a number of mixtapes from the late-‘00s era of mixtape rap.

Other than that, and I’m not certain Spotify has that anymore since I haven’t used the service in a while, it’s the same deal. Apple Music is better for people with Apple products and pays the artists a wee bit more, Spotify is irritating and has literally put Drake’s face on the cover of every single one of its playlists before. (Seriously, that happened, and not long ago.)

So I’m Apple Music + Bandcamp because I have Apple products and hate Spotify, but there’s virtually no difference between what thetwo offer.

Ok, so Spotify and Apple Music are like Coke and Pepsi — essentially the same exact thing unless you’re a purist for red cabs or whatever. (Also kind of not like Coke/Pepsi because many of the things they make available to you are not even one chemical additive different from each other because they’re the exact same things.)

I had Spotify premium, and I loved it for a while. When Apple Music came out, I kept Spotify because I was just so into the concept of not having to haul my fucking CDs around or alter the library of my iPod anymore. But once Apple Music caught up, and once I saw that it paid more to artists — if only by a little bit — I jumped ship. Also, at the time, hip-hop and pop artists I liked (Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper) were doing things on Apple Music and not on Spotify. But I think the era of exclusives is over.

Also, a lot of the time when an artists decides to remove something from streaming for whatever reason, they’ll remove it from Spotify and it will stay on Apple. Not sure why, but Spotify still has the larger user base, so that’s probably it.

Anyway, I have noticeed no decrease in the amount of available material from artists I like in the underground, experiments and noise genres and sub genres since making the switch, so I think it really comes down to 1. what kind of products you use (again, if you use Apple/Mac, Apple Music is just integrated with the entire media setup native to those phones and computers); and 2. Your personal preference regarding UX and design (I tend to refer Apple’s clean whites and reds to Spotofy’s neon green on black, but to each his/her/their own).

I’d say the real important piece is making sure you supplement with Bandcamp. It’s great, and unlike the other services, you can fucking BUY ACTUAL CD/LP/CASSETTE RELEASES through BC, and also find tons of artists too weird and too new to even register on the streaming giants.

YMMV.

Nils Frahm has a new EP out, it's called Encores 2. It's a follow-up to Encores 1 which was released late last year. what a surprise is that.
Both are filled with leftovers from the sessions done for his last full length All Melody


Listened to most of the new Mono today at work, and it's actually better than I had anticipated.


oh, medium wise, I use bandcamp mostly and youtube or soundcloud, anything that's free for streaming. No spotify and no apples I'm allergic to fruits

I’m super excited about the new Vampire Weekend album and if anyone wants to give me shit about that, I welcome you to fuck off and save us both a lot of typing.

It’s called “Father of the Bride.” The first two songs — “Harmony Hall” and “2021” — sound like a mashup of “Touch of Grey”-era Grateful Dead and “Freedom”-era George Michael and rich white kids learning from the songwriting methods of Frank Ocean, respectively.

I’m OK with pop music if pop music sounds good, and this stuff, like “Modern Vampires of the City,” sounds good ... to anyone who isn’t trying to prove something, that is.

Hey, what's with this comment, by the way? Jenny's a young woman, 43. Julianne Moore is 58, Mariska Hargitay is 55, and they're both hotter than a urinary infection.

Out March 22: Housewives, Twilight Splendour.



Heavy-handed description de rigueur :rolleyes::


Don't blame me; I didn't write it. The album itself should be good though!

Out now: Tim Presley's White Fence, I Have To Feed Larry's Hawk.




"Heartbreakers" as in "Petty"? That wouldn't make much sense... Anyway, it's interesting that this time it's credited to "Tim Presley's White Fence" and that apparently it has more in common with my girlfriend Cate Le Bon than with the Ty Segall shit. If so, I'm in!

So who the fuck are Yak? Dunno, but they have a new tune with Jason Pierece (and John Coxon), so it might be worth checking out. From Under The Radar:
