Random Music Talk CVIII: Enhanced with a string section...maybe.

Cobblock

 

[lazarus]

That was a close one.


I had my own ready to go just in case: "Hold Off Now, Youngster..."

Who's this random newbie starting RMT threads?

 

[liamcool]

You mean burdened, right?

Surely this tweet by Justin K. Broadrick that he's collaborating with Mark Kozelek is a joke, right? https://twitter.com/JKBroadrick/status/592653468768186368

 

[liamcool]

There was a collaboration between Scott Walker and Sunn O))) last year, so I wouldn't be too surprised.

Broadrick also interviewed Kozelek in 2012: Justin Broadrick of Jesu, Godflesh and Napalm Death interviews Mark Kozelek about touring, 20 years in the music business, and the new Sun Kil Moon release, Among The Leaves, and Jesu's albums come up on Sun Kil Moon's label.

 

[Axver]

Well then... this could be interesting.

 

[gump]

Damn. Blur just announced a show here on Friday, same night I'm seeing Sufjan. They are on the Rushmore of bands I really want to see live.

New Miami Horror album is FINALLY out. It's pretty good, too. I hate to be that person, but it actually kinda has a strongish U2 thing going. It's weird, though, cause it's still a dance album, but this song (Out of Sight) almost sounds like Discotheque and Talking Heads had a baby.

Joni Mitchell in a coma, unresponsive - Business Insider

 

[bono_212]

Fuck.

 

[LemonMelon]

 

[iron yuppie]

Sounds like she has been suffering for quite some time. What a shame.

 

[PhilsFan]

Apparently her publicist is disputing the TMZ report, saying there is no coma and that she is expected to fully recover.

Apparently her publicist is disputing the TMZ report, saying there is no coma and that she is expected to fully recover.

Neither outcome would surprise me very much, she's been in pretty poor health for a little while now. I remember a few weeks ago there was a news report that she had been rushed to hospital, and it didn't look good for her for a bit. Maybe it's been covered more in Canada.

She's a real tough lady though, so I don't doubt that she has the strength to pull through it if at all possible.

 

[cobl04]

Either way, she is probably feeling a little Blue.

Future Islands played a new song on Letterman! It's not terrible!

Best awkward signature dance move since Ian Curtis.

 

[bono_212]

I think it's awesome that that's one of the acts he so badly wanted to see again before he left.

 

[cobl04]

Best awkward signature dance move since Ian Curtis.

I much prefer Matt Berninger's awkward robotic arm flailing.

 

[lazarus]

Best awkward signature dance move since Ian Curtis.

Actually I think it surpasses the head snapping backwards and the feet dangling.

[Axver]

If their dull music wasn't enough to make me dislike Future Islands, that idiot frontman's live antics are. There's a fine line between charismatic and cringeworthy, and he's jumped well past it.

 

[cobl04]

Fuck Blur tickets are $100... I don't think I'm going to go...

 

[lazarus]

I saw them in a small club in Boston while they were touring Parklife, with Pulp opening (promoting His 'n' Hers). Saw them again at a club when they toured the self-titled. And caught their headlining set at Coachella a couple years ago.

Haven't heard the new album yet, but I think I'm good.

New study shows that people stop listening to new music at 33 · Newswire · The A.V. Club

 

[IWasBored]

Oh wait. Are they serious? Can't read the article cos it keeps disappearing halfway on my phone. I just assumed that was an onion post by the title.

 

[Danny Boy]

New study shows that people stop listening to new music at 33 · Newswire · The A.V. Club

I can't agree with A.V. Club's interpretation of this study. Not listening to "popular" music according to the study's definition is not the same thing as not listening to "new" music.

 

[bono_212]

goodbye Grooveshark.

Fuck me, I didn't have any of my playlists from there backed up.

 

[Danny Boy]

That's too bad. It was a great place to find b-sides and rare tracks that aren't on any of the "legal" streaming services.
