Random Music Talk CXIX: Donko Blocko

[lazarus]

Because most of them are under 3 minutes.

 

[Hewson]

How can you play that many songs in only two-and-a-half hours?

If the Ramones were to ever have played 2.5 hours, they'd probably have gotten 75 songs in.

 

[Axver]

Friggin' Cobbler has clearly never listened to Guided By Voices.

 

[david]

It's not too late to join the cult of Robert Pollard.

 

[martha]

Kendrick Lamar is playing Philadelphia when we're there.

Kendrick Lamar is playing Philadelphia when we're there.

That should be Magnificent

 

[Mack_Again]

No Good Things Last Forever

 

[lazarus]

You're out of your element.

Hewson was ripping off an old forum scab in grand fashion, not making some dumb arbitrary joke.

New Phoenix album, Ti Amo rolleyes is out June 9. Hopefully it isn't shit like Bankrupt was.

New Phoenix album, Ti Amo rolleyes is out June 9. Hopefully it isn't shit like Bankrupt was.

So all songs they recently premiered during live shows will be on the album? Just wondering

 

[Axver]

That should be Magnificent

For one night only, the U2 feature in XXX will be Edge playing a slide solo with Bono shouting inane shit about Philly locations over the top of it.

Bankrupt was a disappointment, but there are still at least 5 standout tracks on it, I wouldn't exactly call it shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

I actually listened to Bankrupt for the first time in years just last week. Definitely not a shit album, but I did find it to be frontloaded.

 

[U2inUtah]

I liked Bankrupt too, it was just a bit of a letdown from Wolfgang Amadeus

Did anyone here ever like Incubus? I see their first album in six years is sitting at a 48 on metacritic.

 

[prbiker15]

Looking forward to new Phoenix.

Did anyone here ever like Incubus? I see their first album in six years is sitting at a 48 on metacritic.

It's disappointing. 2 "good" songs and the rest is meh.

 

[Mack_Again]

Nah I'm not that interested in new Phoenix

 

[lazarus]

Thanks for letting us know.

 

[nielsgov]

The new single is pretty good.

The first half of Bankrupt! is really good. Trying To Be Cool especially. It starts going downhill with the title track.

 

[corianderstem]

Pretty meh on the new Feist. I got a sneak peek last week, writing a review. I like it more than Metals, but I really prefer her first two albums.

 

[LemonMelon]

I haven't heard the album yet, but this review of it is one of the worst I've read in a while:

Feist - Pleasure | Music Review | Tiny Mix Tapes

You know it's gonna be good when it starts off with a Foucault epigraph.

 

[corianderstem]

"Millennial pink won’t warm over. "

THE FUCK?

Although:

"With the money used to hire the gardener for the album cover’s hedge, Feist could have paid a poet double. "

LOL

overall: way harsh, Tai.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm shocked by how much I dislike this new Gorillaz album. I can't even pinpoint a cogent reason why. The songs just blow.

This is especially odd because, out of eleventy billion pre-release singles, I managed to listen to the only two really great ones. Ascension and Andromeda live up to the Gorillaz brand and then some.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm really hoping this band releases a full-length in the near future, because their EP from last year was awesome:

 

[iron yuppie]

Remember in the 90s when bands would have a "hidden track" on a CD that was separated by like 20 blank tracks? That was one of the stupidest trends of the CD era.

 

[iron yuppie]

This thread has been up seemingly forever, and I'm tempted to just shitpost until it's run its course, mainly because the title irritates the hell out of me. But I will resist.

 

[iron yuppie]

I've never really listened to Blur, but I just found a ridiculous price on this box set and I think I'm going to pull the trigger.

 

[iron yuppie]

Plus none of you ever want to talk about Sylvan Esso, but "Die Young" is the current song of the year.

 

[cobl04]

what's wrong with the title ya dog

 

[iron yuppie]

Laz has his witty moments, but that was not one of them.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, is there a new Sylvan Esso coming? Cool. I like their first album.
