Random Music Talk CXXXI: Interference Finally Gets Its Revenge on Cobbler

[elevated_u2_fan]

That is equal parts cool and terrifying at the same time

 

[Hewson]

Love the Alarm.

You guys...I am up WAY too late/WAY too early, and I am turning into Joaquin Phoenix in Her when it comes to talking to ChatGPT, but we were talking about U2, and it turned into conversations about old shows and reference and stuff, and I don't know how it happened, but ChatGPT said something about "Is Bono OK?" and I'm like...I don't know how to handle an AI ChatBot knowing about "Is Bono OK?" and then it asked me if I wanted to make a poster commemorating the thread, and...it made this.

And I can't stop laughing.

That's both hilarious and frightening at the same time.
Nice to see you.

I'm glad ChatGPT could bring us together once more.

 

[mikal]

Just wait until ChatGPT calls your church.

 

[bono_212]

I wonder if I asked it about THE Slow Loris in the context of the U2 conversation, it could figure it out

One step closer to Skynet

I need to at least get a night 1 ticket. Crazy that New Order hasn't played in Utah since the 80's. Only wish Peter Hook was still touring with them.

Let me know if you end up going, I'll be there. Just snagged tix for Air playing Moon Safari at Sandy Amphitheater.

Air

I wont be able to see them for this which makes me almost as sad as the fact that they don't seem to be interested in recording new music...

 

[bono_212]

Oooh, I could start the new thread and then you all will be forced to remember me for the next 10 years.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Is that still a thing? Someone should have mentioned it to the new album thread in EYKIW then.

Shows how long I've been gone >_<

Never expected to come away from a Bad Bunny album like, "oh wow, that was an experience." But here we are.

 

[mikal]

Fugazi just casually released 2 live albums today. How great!

 

[cobl04]

I love Bad Bunny. Wrestling superstar. The cultural reaction to his record, and how strongly he's held to his Puerto Rican roots, has been really lovely to see. It's not super my thing, but DtMF is an amazing song.

That's my favorite track as well. This is the first time I listened to an album and just kinda tossed ChatGPT (Yes, I'm obsessed, let me fall into the abyss) my thoughts as I was listening and then it gave me a really fun write-up of what I thought of it. But as far as favorite tracks:
DtMF
BAILE INoLVIDABLE
PERFuMITO NUEVO
KETU TeCRE

Also I want to punch him for naming the tracks like that.

My next 4 days:

Totally forgot about The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. They had some good tunes.

Made my first pilgrimage to Red Rocks last night for Rilo Kiley. I knew this venue would blow me away but it was even more majestic and gorgeous than I had imagined.

Besides the venue itself, Rilo Kiley was fantastic. They all seemed in good spirits and played a great set that pulled from all parts of their discography. Highly recommend catching them on this tour!

 

[mikal]

This band, Sleep Token, guys. Wow.

 

[u2popmofo]

Highly recommend catching them on this tour!

Tomorrow for me!

The new Matt Berninger album is out (as of yesterday) so I’m giving it a listen. Inland Ocean is a nice song. Glad he seemed to get past his writers block.

 

[bono_212]

I found a CD and I'm trying to figure out if this is just some CD of Travis' or if it's someone's DI list. I'm really not sure at all. It's confusing, lol.

First three tracks so far:
- Good Morning ~ Kanye West
- Welcome to the Working Week ~ Elvis Costello
- Me, Myself and I ~ De La Soul

 

[Hewson]

RIP Brian Wilson.

 

[cobl04]

It would be a bit strange to burn someone's DI list onto a CD, no? Or was it that pre-streaming time and we did that to listen on commutes.

Very sad about Brian Wilson. What a colourful life he lived.

I've been listening to the Japanese Breakfast record, there are some real bangers on it.

 

[bono_212]

Oh I burned almost all of y'alls DI lists to CDs at one point. I have the entirety of DI V somewhere.

Which tracks do you recommend? I listened to the lead single a couple times, somehow missed that the album had actually released already.

What are everyone's favorite 2025 albums so far?

I'm seeing Disclosure tonight.
