Random Music Talk CXIV: No more rock star deaths for a while please (not even Stapp)

Since Sleater-Kinney's debut didn't come out until 1995, not quite.

So I just went back and looked at p4k's EL VY review, and was shocked to find it copped a beating. When I heard it I thought it was good, if inconsistent and uncertain, but certainly nowhere near as bad as that review suggests. My girlfriend fucking loves it and so I've heard it a hell of a lot and it's got some really good songs on it. I came in here to post about how much I love this song (and its transition from Sad Case, which is wicked)

It's... Okay. The song Slow Driving Man is good. I need to listen to the entire album again.

I've been revisiting the first 3-4 albums by The Decemberists. They had quite a good early run. I kind of checked out after The Hazards of Love. But yeah. I should give the new album a listen.

Castaways and Cutouts is fucking great. I love that album. Came into them backwards (Architect was used in an early ep of HIMYM), but yeah. Haven't checked out much else. King is Dead was great, but their last one was flat and drab if you ask me. Considering seeing them later this month, but it's $90 a ticket and I feel like there might not be much older material.

If Wilco are dad rock, the Decembrists are mom indie.

 

[Mack_Again]

then Coldplay is like extremely lite alt-rock. or alt-rock for teenage girls?

 

[IWasBored]

They're just garbage.

The Jesus and Mary Chain were fantastic tonight. I can't even pinpoint any specific quality that made it great, just the cumulative experience built and built into a really satisfying performance.

The supports, Alvvays and Grinding Eyes, also killed it. I'm lukewarm to Alvvays on record but this set impressed me, and Grinding Eyes maybe stole the show.

ok now it makes sense.

Shouldn't insult Shirley Manson and Butch Vig like that.

Bob Dylan Announces New Album and Tour | News | Pitchfork


May 20th. His 37th album; I wonder if he can make it to #40.

Unfortunately, this appears to be another covers album like the last one.

Seeing them live ranks among my all time favorite moments.
