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

[BoMac]

Awesome! Very jealous about Wolf Parade, I've only ever seen them live via online streams from big festivals.

They will release a new album in the fall and do a proper tour in 2017, so you might get your chance.

Does anyone here understand taxes/small business finances? Have a somewhat sudden decision to make and need some thoughts.

 

[cobl04]

Why the fuck are LCD Soundsystem playing in broad daylight?

Looking forward to it, I like the new EP.

So the new Avalanches. It's no Since I Left You but it's damn good. Great album for listening to at the pool in Bali.

speaking of nostalgia:

Man, it doesn't take much to run a music website anymore. This is hands down the laziest "news article" I've ever seen on Pitchfork:

Lil Wayne Sued by American Express | Pitchfork

Four sentences. They just linked to something TMZ wrote and threw in an unrelated anecdote in the last sentence.

 

[cobl04]

They've been doing that for ages. They have to run big music news like that. I reckon if you looked at it 95% of their news is (and has been) "blah blah blah, XXX reports"

Pitchfork reporting Radiohead's website going blank and their tweets being deleted was lazier than that article, actually.

 

[u2popmofo]

Hey Chromatics, where's the damn album?

 

[iron yuppie]

Fuckin' Carly Rae Jepsen bringing the house down at Pitchfork festival.

 

[LemonMelon]

Of course she is.

Really sad that she's one of the very few P4k acts NOT coming to FYF.

 

[lazarus]

What a shame that last CRJ album didn't do better business. So many catchy songs.

I guess her image isn't provocative enough.

Does anyone here understand taxes/small business finances? Have a somewhat sudden decision to make and need some thoughts.

Not really, but I hated seeing your call for help unanswered. Did you figure things out?

 

[LemonMelon]

I would have helped Peef with his business venture, but I couldn't even last a week in that old lemonade stand game without running it into the ground.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Peef is a living legend.

If it's not too late, ask away. I've had my own business for about 5 years now, so I'm familiar with this stuff. Don't necessarily understand it all, but...

Alan Vega passed away

I've not known any Suicide, but I know they've been a big influence on a lot of music I love - any recommendations of something I could listen to?

 

[bono_212]

They only have two albums.

 

[Axver]

And I can't wait for him to still friggin' Cobbler those two albums.

 

[cobl04]

They have five albums.

 

[liamcool]

The first album is tremendous. Check out "Cheree".

 

[martha]

Kashmir is playing in this Taco John's in Brookings. That's weird to me.

A cliche choice but it's just that good:




Also, I was shocked to learn that Vega was 78 years old. Considering when Suicide first appeared that's shocking. He's 3 years older than Bob Dylan.
