Wild Nothing

I like that cover you chose a lot too. It reminds me of the Stone Roses.

I'm using the yellow, blue, and red one for now. It has a lava lamp vibe going on.

Don't tell Jive.

 

[agentorange]

So, does JT have a problem with the Stone Roses, or just people who might be ripping off the Stone Roses?

So, I don't know whether to be super impressed by the fact that Wild Nothing snagged Michelle Williams for this music video, or completely appalled by the fact that they clearly spent the entire budget for it on her.

Regardless it's one of the most hilariously low-budget things I've ever seen, and everyone should at least watch from around 4:23 when something extraordinary happens:

Wild Nothing - "Paradise" (Official Music Video) - YouTube

Nocture is next on my list of albums I'm going to buy from Amazon. Probably next week. I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm excited for it!

 

[the tourist]

So I just got it and listened to it for the first time. Nocture makes me nostalgic. It makes me wish I could go back in time to all the faded photographs my parents put in albums. An era when things were a little bit faded and Christmas lights were magical, and vinyl and tapes and atari.

 

[u2popmofo]

I actually haven't listened to this album since September, need to change that ASAP.

 

[the tourist]

Definitely! I, uh, listened to it five times at work yesterday.

 

[bono_212]

Get on that shit, mofo. Fucking amateur

 

[u2popmofo]

I am ashamed of myself.

 

[the tourist]

There's a keyboard line in Rheya that reminds me of the outro in Untitled off Disintegration.

 

[u2popmofo]

I am ashamed of myself.

I am now less ashamed of myself.

 

[bono_212]

How does the less ashamed of yourself version of you feel?

 

[u2popmofo]

I feel like I'm going to listen to it again right now.

 

[bono_212]

This pleases me.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Is this in your 2012 Rushmore, Ashley?

 

[bono_212]

Oh Indeed. It is the Washington of that Rushmore, too.

 

[the tourist]

Every time I get to the end of Paradise, I can't help but feel like it should have been the song that closed the album. Not that the album should stop there. But that it should be moved back. But then I get to Rheya, and that song is almost perfect.

From their Facebook page (which I learned about because NSW "liked" the status):

Thanks iTunes for naming 'Nocturne' the Best Alternative Album of 2012!

 

[No spoken words]

 

[bono_212]

Yes!

Did someone say new Wild Nothing?

 

[bono_212]

Ohhhh that was excellent. I am a happy Ashley. The happiest Ashley.

 

[u2popmofo]

 

[the tourist]

Yay!

 

[IWasBored]

Hmmm. I just mixed them up with the cloud nothings and was quite disappointed. Apparently for as much as I like attack on memory, I didn't like it enough to be able to remember which band with the word nothing in it they were.
