And as a companion piece, another great self-titled EP featuring darkly-inclined, shoegazey music with haunting female vocals. Very underrated. "Neither Sleeping, Neither Waking" is such an amazing song.

why do i love streaming? well. the first rilo kiley ep was always out of print. 3 pressings, relabled as initial friends, never available. i got the first 2 full albums at kim's video, i remember. as cds

so ages ago i got the initial friends in shitty mp3 from some fileshare. reconstructed from references, because they changed some things. pain in the fucking ass

but in spite of all my "collecting" efforts those hard drives bit the dust in nineteenclacketyclack or something. they weighed a fuckton. had a literal filing cabinet drawer full of those. legal size

then the ep was reissued in vinyl in 2020 (pandemic!). sold out in presale. ffs! i never even found out.

but now, accidentally, i saw this:



thanks, apple, you capitalist monster, you agent of the antichrist!

ubiquitous access. no file management. no hard drives. no carting plastic shit all over creation <3

took for fucking ever to get the ipod right. it finally is doing what it's supposed to

wtf am i saying ipod. it's on the tv lol (with good speakers though). i can see the stupid lyrics hahahaha. i love this consumer decadence

^ Interesting choice. Do you like Jenny Lewis solo as well? I have her whole discography. I have Jenny stuff that even Jenny doesn't have. :D

no actually after the foxes shit stuff or was it more adventurous she went country or something i quit. blake sennett was annoying as a singer but maybe he brought something to the band

i love the early bubblegum tunes with the overly mature and cynical lyrics actually. im not much into lyrics tbh but i can actually understand every word she says and the counterpoint here is great. but make it too earnest and i'm out of there

She didn't go country dude. It just looks that way:

haaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaa!

that's a horrible little dance

anyway the apple version of the first ep doesn't include "keep it together," which is such a fine little string of insults, very fucking funny, was a hidden track in which pressing i will never know

now im laughing at the though that teenage love song might have included a joke about dave foley who i found out funded their first album. who knows. but i really hope so, hahaha



hahahahahaaa

I think it's hot as heck.

eh...









but anyway, even better...



dave foley! and kevin mcdonald

hahhahaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa

While it's not exactly "bubblegum", you should get into Steely Dan, man. For real. Their whole discography. Catchy tunes? Check. Jazzy? Check. "Overly mature, cynical", mean (sometimes downright misanthropic) lyrics about a cast of fucked up characters that rival Tom Waits' or non-soundtrack Randy Newman's? Check. Plus that Wayne Shorter on Aja, what's not to dig...
