Random Music Talk CXVI: The world doesn't actually revolve around Mack

I don't like the second half as much either. The first five tracks bowl me over and that Walk On By sample in 6 Inch is fucking nasty.

The second half has Freedom, of course.

 

[Mack_Again]

wait Bob Mould has a new album out? what the hell.

 

[Lancemc]

With a few more listens I'm not sure I'd say the second half is stronger either now. Not weaker though. This is a very consistent work.

Still doesn't hold a candle to the self-titled, imo.

He's been more or less consistently putting out albums for a long time. There's no 'what the hell' required here.

well "what the hell" for me not knowing it, more or less.

Finally got around to the Underworld album. Damn, that's good. Not quite as impressive as the Eno/Hyde collaboration but it's a short and sweet listen compared to previous albums by the group.

The opening track I Exhale is probably my favorite, followed by the mellow Motorhome, and then that final one-two punch of Ova Nova and Nylon Strung are so joyous and uplifting, a rare mood for Underworld.

Sweetie, you don't have to write a post for every thing you don't know.

That's what Twitter is for.

I think this observation is at double-Gimli levels by now.

It's uncanny how much this Savages lead singer sounds like Patti Smith. This album fucking rocks.

Maybe not a good thing that I identify with Jarvis Cocker as much as I do, but this song is especially poignant for me at the moment:

I am somewhat psyched by this new Gojira record that's gonna come out this June. who's with me?

As someone who has been there an awful lot (although I no longer buy into the misogynistic idea of the 'friend zone'), I hear you. Songs have been my only comfort when faced with feelings for someone who does not reciprocate.

I would suggest giving this song a few spins. Always helped me in those times, obviously thanks to its lyrics, but also thanks to its loud volume and nervous energy. A nice catharsis similar to the one this Pulp song provides.

Just got tickets to go to day 2 of Panorama here in NYC. Fucking excited: Kendrick, The National, Sufjan, Anderson Paak. Hell yes.

 

[cobl04]

Fuck you.

Cobbler is an angry guy.

I encountered an Australian woman on the street yesterday and helped her figure out her way around Philadelphia. Why was an Australian woman wandering aimlessly around my little northwest Philly suburb? I couldn't possibly tell you.

She'd probably heard tales of the great Peef Erickson from a local cobbler.

 

[gump]

Did she talk funny like Cobbler?

"All I've got is this bloody map!" is how she referred to the map she was reading incorrectly. In her defense, the layout of my borough is rather odd.

Also, Australia is in a different hemisphere, so her map was probably upside down.

fuck me
