Jimmy Whispers: "Heart Don’t Know" | Tracks | Pitchfork

For any Chicagoans past and present.

NOOO What are they doing?!?!?! Don't write an article about Jimmy Whispers! Jesus, this ruins everything.


EDIT: Read the article. What the fuck, did Jimmy Whispers sell out to the man? A record?! To purchase? From a label?

I feel so jaded, right now.

David Pajo's Instagram shows a pic of him in the hospital giving a thumbs up and his neck is scarred and bandaged.

My god, EYKIW is especially stupid today. Now that's saying something

If Jimmy can't resist corporate America, what hope do the rest of us have?

I have been inconsolable* about this all day at work today. My coworker has tried to reassure me that one day I'll be happy to say I saw Jimmy Whispers at the Empty Bottle, in a manner akin to those who brag about having seen The Ramones at CBGBs. I don't believe him.

Port Of Morrow is better than I remember it being.

Yes! I love that album. It's filled with great hooks. It was also the first Shins album I listened to. I listened to an older one (with a blue cover) a little while later and I thought it paled in comparison.

! Would pay good money for that.

I would too! Hearing You Can Call Me Al live is amazing.

 

[bono_212]

That and I really love Sting. I'd be in Heaven.

Alright, I couldn't say anything until Travis saw the email confirmation, but I definitely just bought the special edition vinyl for him for his birthday, lol.

Oh Inverted World is one of my all-time favorite albums, just a fantastic batch of songs.

Port of Morrow...eh...

The most thoughtful gift I've ever received.

I loved the opening song but the rest just blended together. Maybe I should give it another listen.

Win Butler just came off the bench for the celebrity all star game. How long until he leaves with the basketball?

 

[nielsgov]

Well I figured out what's wrong with the album again. It starts off fantastically with Caring Is Creepy but the second song is a slog which makes me want to stop listening immediately. The few songs after that didn''t change my mind on that.

I started the new Title Fight album instead. I didn't expect it to be shoegazey. Nice surprise.

he's also doing a shift at a Haitian coffee shop in NYC.

 

[martha]

! Would pay good money for that.

One of the reasons I didn't go/am not going to that show here is that tickets started at around $40,000.

Saw that. Don't complain if you get a latte instead of a capuccinno. It's art.

 

[bono_212]

Ugh! Just saw that Jimmy Whispers is playing pitchfork fest... It's over.

 

[LemonMelon]

My rig, post-birthday:

I think it's time to make another album.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm sure there will be something unique about it, like Whispers pressed his own piss into the vinyl or something like that.

 

[cobl04]

Yeah, happy birthday by the way man

 

[LemonMelon]

I bet there's promotional graffiti on every sleeve.

One of my favourite days of the year. The 24th consecutive year I don't have a date, but I get to make two Outkast puns so I fucking love it.

Perhaps, perhaps. I'm trying to look at the positives here. I've honestly usually been the first person to congratulate an artist for making it big, but Jimmy seemed so wonderfully Chicago. Our little secret, you know?

Bah! I'm glad I'll be able to listen to his tunes from the comfort of my own home soon enough.

 

[iron yuppie]

Does he have his own tunes, though? I only remember him singing along semi-competently to those casio beats or whatever.

 

[bono_212]

He's got a ton of music, I think.

Btw, he went back on Chic-a-go-go,

There's a puppet he sings with.

 

[LemonMelon]

He sings Up on the Roof with a rat puppet.

Eeew. But that does explain why NPR was tweeting about it.
