So the big news is Coldplay sucks?

Some of us knew that all along.

no big news is that U2 still has;t released new album YET

In other news...

It looks like Apple finally increased the limit on iTunes Match/Apple Music from 25K to 100K. They haven't officially announced it yet, but I am finally able to add music to my cloud library again. Lots of people on Twitter are reporting the same.

Somehow I ended up with a bunch of duplicates when I turned iTunes Match back on, so I have a bit of cleaning up to do, but glad they finally followed through with the promised upgrade.

Glad to hear this. It's about time.

Pink Floyd released an EP of their earliest material last week, and nobody noticed | Consequence of Sound

Wonder if this will ever be released digitally.

I was away all week on RYLA, the camp I volunteer on. Wonderful but extremely exhausting.

That pic of Miley was pretty hot. I plan on getting that CLouds re-issue, I love that album, in my Lips top 3 behind Embryonic and Soft Bulletin. The Terror serves its purpose well but is not a very enjoyable album. Heady Fwends on the other hand is a lot of fun and has quite a few great songs on it.

Apparently Nickelback can't stand the heat: Nickelback were pretty pissed off at Queensland Police for making fun of them | FasterLouder

I remember New Yorker or NYT or somewhere saying that Nickelback is benefitted by all the hate they get. apparently they're wrong

Holy cow. I saw Handel's Messiah for the first time tonight.

It was pretty good.

I'm not even bothered to check eBay. They're probably going for a lot of cash.

Just searched again. About $500 for the next auction closing.

So according to the Grammys, Alabama Shakes is Alternative.

Nice to see Jamie xx get a nomination.

.

Not surprising from an organization who's first ever Heavy Metal award went to Jethro Tull.

Did we finish the Rolling Stone survivor?

 

[LemonMelon]

Behold, the shittiest rock album of the year nominees ever:

James Bay, Chaos and the Calm
Death Cab for Cutie, Kintsugi
Highly Suspect, Mister Asylum
Muse, Drones
Slipknot, .5: The Gray Chapter

Not a single remotely good album anywhere in there. Just straight trash from top to bottom. Death Cab doesn't even make "rock" music anymore, let alone good rock music. Muse's album is a total embarrassment. SLIPKNOT.

Just give Kendrick all the awards and go home.

well didn't people call White Stripes alternative?

Spoiler

I personally think lots of "alternative" bands from 90s like Alice in Chains or Soundgarden aren't even alternative

 

[LemonMelon]

Sound & Color was fucking awesome. I hope it wins its category.

That roster is like everybody's nightmare; and i don't know what the hell Slipknot is doing there, aren't they more "metal"?

Alternative is as shitty a genre classification as indie.

Alternative is as shitty a genre classification as indie.

and all the subgenre made within metal communities are ridiculous as well

Not sure it's fair to look at the very early years of the category as a standard. That may even have been its first year.

Well, they all were alternative. If you're comparing bands to "normal" Top 40 rock like the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, etc. they certainly stand apart. That these very bands eventually became part of the Top 40 doesn't change that.

Alternative is as shitty a genre classification as indie.

You have to use something, whether you call it Modern Rock, College Rock, or whatever. I never had a problem with Alternative because it was able to encompass rock as well as more experimental/danceable music.

For the Purity Ring fans out there, the band GEMS released an album recently that out-did them at their own game. It's called Kill the One You Love. Highly recommended album.

For me the new alternative is 60s avant garde Jazz.

Tay gon' win that Grammy AOTY for her worst album.

Holy shit Wolf Alice got a nomination? That's awesome.

Huzzah!

This list is a winner every year:

The least essential albums of 2015 · Best of · The A.V. Club

Lullaby versions of Sublime must be one of the least appealing album descriptions I have ever seen.

Just laughed at the thought of a baby falling asleep to "40 oz to Freedom".

Just when I thought I was out of the Lance's Mom thread, it pulled me back in.

Proceed with caution, and...sorry.

 

[martha]

You know what's annoying me?

Protomartyr playing at the Echo on a school night. Echo shows start late and have a dozen bands on before the headliner.

All that makes it damn hard to go all the way the hell up there to see a show on a school night.

Stupid day job.
