Random Pitchfork Darling Talk LXXXIII

I need to move to a climate like that. I'm glad we're moving into summer.

Sometimes I think I hate summer here more than winter. Everything dies, and the mountains look hideous. At least we don't have to deal with humidity.

Why does Spotify keep recommending Busta Rhyme's new album to me?

 

[trojanchick99]

Has anyone been to one of the Postal Service shows yet? If so, how was it? They're here next week, I still haven't bought tickets.

Saw them at Coachella and really loved the set. Jenny Lewis sounded great and having never seen them live, I really thought the songs were much bigger in that setting.

Arctic Monkeys first live show in nearly a year tonight. They'll undoubtedly play some new tunes. I'm really excited. I'm going to listen to the shitty camera phone-recorded versions of the songs, and there aren't very many bands I would do that for.

Here's the new song they played last night.

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know? (Live Debut) - YouTube

Show was so much fun. They played Fake Tales of San Francisco and Dancing Shoes for the first time in 5 or 6 years. Best part was no openers, so I was able to get home by midnight which means I'm not a zombie at work today. And I have Queens of the Stone Age tonight.

[gump]

I need to check the Chilly Gonzalez-Stars song. Really like his music, but I have no idea how it would work with Stars.

 

[Imperor]

OH SHlT

 

[u2popmofo]

I wuz jus gona post dat. Listening now.

 

[u2popmofo]

Listening to it for the third time already. Psyched.

 

[nielsgov]

I've been told many times it's a "different type of cold" in the Northern Hemisphere as well. Like you can go outside when it's 2-3C and it'll be cold, but the sun will be out and it is actually kind of pleasant if you're wearing the right clothes.

Lol. I think it's just because we're used to it.

We're having lots of rain here at the moment. That's even worse than cold. I had to ride (on a bicycle) through a small hailstorm today.

That BOC track didn't do much for me on first listen. I laughed with the Daft who? top comment.

 

[cobl04]

Nices Wölkchen.

 

[Imperor]

Debating going over to the venue to see if I can get a McCartney ticket on the cheap right now. I'll be seeing him in three weeks anyway but I'm bored and would like to tonight. HMM.

 

[u2popmofo]

Nices Wölkchen.

...is a good song.

 

[cobl04]

I must thank you for pimping that. Thoroughly enjoying it.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, it's a really nice album. Sorta like After Dark, good one to put on at night and just relax.

What do you think of the new Boards of Canada song, Cobbz?

 

[cobl04]

I'm afraid like Niels it didn't do much for me (neither did that Earl song), but I'm still really excited.

 

[cobl04]

Sick new Disclosure song as well. Anticipating this album will be very near to the top of my year-end list. One for the house lovers, myself, HG, Mofo, et al.

[Jive Turkey]

Hey, what the fuck is up with that new Daft Punk song that sounds like Michael McDonald should be singing it?

 

[cobl04]

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you mean Touch.

 

[LemonMelon]

Which one lololol

Spoiler

U2 needs to step their game up.

 

[Jive Turkey]

This one

Fucking terrible. There some good stuff on that album, but what the fuck

 

[lazarus]

I dig that track, though I'm a MMD/Doobie Brothers fan.

Still haven't heard the album yet.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Even I can get behind What a Fool Believes, but this sounds like a thin, silly parody

 

[cobl04]

Speaking of After Dark, I still don't have 2. I'm really annoyed it's $15 on our iTunes, despite our dollar being on parity with yours.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm waiting for Italians Do It Better to finally sell it. Lame they don't just have a preorder with a digital download included yet.

 

[trojanchick99]

So, that Queens of the Stone Age show was great. Absolutely loved the new songs live. Highlights were keep Your Eyes Peeled, my God I'd the Sun, and Kalopsia. Th entire show was livestreamed, so I'm sure it will be uploaded tomorrow.

I just danced all over my goddamned house to this, so thank you for that.

Apparently Morrissey was in attendance.

Must have been paying tribute to u2's video for Window I in the sky.
