Random Pitchfork Darling Talk LXXXIII

Who does Jive Turkey think that Jive Turkey is?

 

[LemonMelon]

I love Joanna Newsom's music and she's pretty hot but damn she sounds like a cartoon character. Lisa Simpson would be my best guess.

 

[cobl04]

I've said this many times, but this is the only sport which can be referred to as football.

Hawthorn v Geelong - Final 2 minutes (Round 19, 2012) - AFL - YouTube

The others are called soccer, rugby and gridiron.

The consensus is

Lindsay Bluth looks fucking weird now

I think she looks hotter than ever, but I'm finding I'm less invested in her character, which is a shame. I'm also really annoyed by the amount of narration from Ron Howard. But I'm definitely enjoying it.

I thought it was a different actress at first.

I've only watched the first four episodes but she's definitely one of the characters whose characterization is still right on, which is more than I can say for Michael. He's too wacky these days.

Frank Ocean sideshows :heart

After Dark 2 BNM'd, which seems to have been the consensus among the IDIB aficionados around here too. Now let's get some kind of physical copy up for sale, Mr. Jewel.

And while you're at it, how about finally putting up all the stuff that has said "coming soon" on the IDIB store for months?

 

[u2popmofo]

Same score they gave the first one!

YES, been checking their site pretty regularly to see if there's been an announcement.

I want to have one of these Cobbler-esque parties when it comes out.

Hahaha. Too emo & hardcore for me.

Whatevs, you're probably the guy in the gas mask.

Don't go to bed yet, Cobbz:

1) Who the hell is Deafheaven?

2) Why is the lead "singer" screaming bloody murder over this fantastic music?

Transformers 1985 TV Commercial | Evil Constructicons - YouTube

 

[Danny Boy]

Hey, my little brother had those!

 

[u2popmofo]

I remember that commercial.

 

[Danny Boy]

I was 13. I was waaaaay too cool for Transformers by then.

[lazarus]

Rumors abound today, folks.

* Chris Martin visits studio

* guitars brought to studio

* shopping for props for supposed video shoot in studio

 

[LemonMelon]

Bono can play prop guitars real good.

The facebook has instagram pics of musicians from Ireland.

1) Who the hell is Deafheaven?

2) Why is the lead "singer" screaming bloody murder over this fantastic music?

1. One of the leading "blackgaze" bands.

2. Because most blackgaze bands draw on black metal vocals rather than following the Alcest/Les Discrets route.

Anyway, I'm glad Deafheaven have achieved at least some of the potential indicated on Roads to Judah. I'd like them to incorporate clean vocals, but this is so far one of the best metal or shoegaze albums of the year.

 

[bono_212]

But they weren't metal vocals (which are also horrible) they were the most insufferable screamo vocals I have ever experienced in my life.


Still, the music alone is well worth the listen.

 

[iron yuppie]

Has anyone heard the new Alice in Chains album? Djerdap perhaps?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I fail to see how they can replace Staley. Dirt was their best album imo.

 

[iron yuppie]

This DuVall character does quite a good impression. The last album was not bad at all.

 

[LemonMelon]

Deafheaven's album is cool. The dude screaming about nothing in the background is unfortunate but it doesn't destroy the album for me.

I'm glad to hear it, I've been so into grunge in general lately that I've really been wanting to listen to the new album, but was afraid it wouldn't be even close to the same.
