the new Dirty Three record is tremendous, I love it.

So the Big Thief bassist has left due to "interpersonal reasons". Reading an article, it straight up mentions he is Israeli. Which got me curious. Had a look on Twitter. A Pitchfork writer says "zionist be gone". So perhaps the irreconcilable differences relate to Palestine!

Just popping in to mention that the band "Highly Suspect" is so freaking good.

Malkmus has a new band, The Hard Quartet, with Jim White from Dirty Three.
And Japandroids, an odd band that I've always really resonated with, have announced their final album... after seven years of silence.

I follow the reviewer Ian Cohen on twitter (he also co-hosts the great pod Indiecast with Steven Hyden), and someone commented on one of his posts that Ryan Schrieber reportedly hated LC! and that their scores were always lowered at his insistence to keep it from happening before.
What an asshole.
At any rate, I wish Shouter was here to see this.

Allez les campesinos. So happy. Can't wait to hear it and the CJenk record when they arrive.

I just spent two hours watching André 3000 play an array of flutes 15 metres from me, backed by a full band. It moved through ambient jazz to muzak to the fucked part of Echoes to spoken word to the tortured horns of Bowie's Berlin period. I already loved the fuck out of him and now I love him about a million times more.
I still regularly listen to The House That Heaven Built.

If anyone who was all about A Girl Called Eddy’s Been Around a few years ago checks out the new Clairo album, you’ll probably hear some overlap.
Good stuff.

That's a beacon of a post if I've ever seen one.

I need to listen to the new Clairo. I wasn't a huge fan of the 70s soft rock thing on the last record, but from the few tracks I've heard from the new one, it sounds like she's found her footing with that sound.
I randomly heard a Doobie Brothers song the other day and decided to try out a few of their albums. They're a much more solid band than I was expecting: one of those that has a bunch of tracks that make you say "wait, they did that song?" Some really good early yacht rock stuff too.

I've legitimately talked about this website in my therapy sessions. Nothing, and I mean nothing, has come even remotely closing to giving me what this site gave me for so long. I so dearly missing talking at length multiple times a day about music we all love.

It's weird that the most active thread is US Politics.
But yeah, the amount of new music I listen to has gone down as this site has become less active. It's one thing to check out the various annual best of lists, it's another to have an active community where you were familiar enough with the members to trust recommendations and branch from there.
Personally, I miss the film discussion we had when Lance and YLB were around. Other than Laz, I forget who else was prominent in that. Found a new home for that with The Dissolve, but that shut up shop 9 years ago and now I'm aging like Private Ryan.

When you said you were 34 the other day, I immediately felt really old. I remember when you were 16 and loving on HTDAAB.

It is hard to find venues to talk about music - actually talk about it in depth. I was in a group the other day with some other people who were generally into indie stuff, but all they had to say about anything was "I love them" or "they're great live."

Aww, thanks mate. Yeah. I joined just before I turned 15. Wild to think that in 19 out of my 34 years on this planet, I've been on this forum. And I can promise you all, I'll be here until the very end. I'll be posting a review of the Colin Hay show I saw last month soon, and there's not a chance in hell that I listen to All Hell and don't do a gigantic post on here. I really appreciate that people still check in, like Gump, your reply to my post reviewing The National shows earlier this year meant so much. Even a couple little responses to my huge essays feels really nice, largely because...
... of this. I've found this. I thought that when this place started to die down that I'd surely find some people who are not only willing, but deeply excited, to talk about music in depth, but they have been extremely few and far between. I had some of that with my ex. The closest I've come since our break-up has been meeting intedomine a few days after the National gigs and us nerding out. Talking about how 10-second guitar breaks or vocal shifts made us feel. It's literally my favourite thing on earth to do. There's been a few people I've been able to talk about music on some level with, but people like us... we're a lot rarer than I thought we'd be.
I'm seeing an odd double bill in two weeks. Killer Mike with......Hippo Campus. The booker was worried that since the concert series is normally indie focused no one would come if they only booked hip hop artists, so they made it a double headline show. Strange pairing, but it should be fun. My August and September are both pretty stacked for concerts, I've got tickets for shows nearly every week.

The more I listen to it, the more I think "Both Sides, Now" is the greatest song ever written.
Still get emotional thinking of that clip of her singing it last year at 80, 60 years after writing it. Preternatural wisdom.

That's a pretty solid fall/winter for shows! Mine is also fairly packed, which is a nice change of pace from a relatively slow concert summer. We've got a few of the same artists on our lists.

Those are the big ones. Lots of smaller shows bookmarked but I still need to buy tickets to them.

Have you heard the re-recorded version from her 2000 album of the same name? It's almost all covers following a loose concept of the arc of a relationship, but ends with her reinterpretation of the title track. Just stunning:

Yeah - I yelled at my phone in my car yesterday to play it, and that's the one it played. I actually had no idea of the history of the track - was that one^ the first official release of it by Joni? Or is the one on Clouds (her second album?) considered the definitive version? The wiki page makes it confusing.

I'm glad Charli XCX is having her moment - she certainly deserves it. Just weird to me that it's on the back of an album that is significantly less impressive than some of the ones that came before it. I guess that's the power of Tik Tok.
