I'm loving this song from Bibio:

Bibio: "Petals" | Tracks | Pitchfork

He had an album in 2010, Ambivalence Avenue, that I really enjoyed, but then I forgot about him for whatever reason. I'm glad this single came out - it prompted me to go back through some of his stuff I had not been aware of.

Teeth of the Sea are some good post rock.

An ad for the new dancing primates Coldplay video came up in my Facebook feed this morning, and I watched about 30 sec of it.

There are no words.

they probably released that video just for the creepy pasta element

Listening to The Flaming Lips 20th anniversary of Clouds Taste Metallic and some of its bsides. Man, they had such a great guitar sound back then due in part to Ronald Jones being in the band at the time.

They had a great drum sound at that time, too.

It's my second favorite FLips album behind the mighty SOFT BULLETIN.

i dont know why Flaming Lips are doing anything with Miley Cyrus

 

[IWasBored]

What was that whole thing about trying to by relevant you guys were talking about in regards to Coldplay?

we get distracted way too often, and probably Flaming lips doing things with Miley can be related to this topic......i guess

 

[corianderstem]

I would personally say "Wayne Coyne's obnoxious mid-life crisis" rather than "desperate grab for relevance."

Probably a nice combo from column A and column B.

What Cori said.

 

[LemonMelon]

The Flaming Lips are waaaaaaaay more inventive at this point in their career than Coldplay have ever been, so I can forgive some of the stupid shit they waste time on.

 

[david]

And honestly, Miley wearing an alien strap on penis with light up testicles on stage is kind of surreal and bad ass.

i second that, as well as whatever Cori has said

I'm looking for more than "inventive" at this point. I'm seeing a lot of creativity minus the craft they once combined it with. Like, I have no desire to keep going back to The Terror or Heady Fwends.


Not that I'm defending Coldplay, of course. Fuck them.

Scumbo,

Earlier this month, I paid full price for Grimes' Art Angels in 24-bit FLAC.

Yesterday, I found a lossless copy of the CD-only bonus track, REALiTi (Demo), online.

I await your judgment.

I'm still waiting for the CD version.

Oh I thought you said "NSW", had there been a window being peeped through in the pic I'd have been sure of it.

I like that. Gonna check out the album.

 

[corianderstem]

Welp, now I can say I've seen Miley's boobs.

.... yay?

 

[iron yuppie]

I think Petals is a stand-alone single, but the album Silver Wilkinson from a few years back is in the same style.

I don't think those are her boobs?

Is that her penis?

Nothing wrong with the craft on The Terror at all. It may not be to your taste, but from the lyrics (actually a revelatory insight into the emotional basis for the "midlife crisis" Wayne has been going through in the wake of his divorce) and arrangements on down to the production, it's exactly the album they wanted it to be. Everything works as a unit and illustrates a specific period in time for the band. When you hear a song from The Terror, you know what album it's from. Granted, it's not for everyone.

Heady Fwends was pretty half-assed though, I can agree with that.

 

[david]

Songs from The Terror really sounded great live. I do enjoy the darkness of that album.

Not unless she's actually a creature from Alien.
