Random Music Talk LXVII: All the First-World Problems You Can Handle

[IWasBored]

The sort I enjoy.

Not really sure how to describe them, or who to compare them to. Last FM lists TV on the Radio and Wolf Parade as similar artists, which may be fairly accurate since I love both of those groups. I've really liked Menomena's last couple albums. They were a 3 piece group, but one of the guys left after the last album, so this is their first with just 2 members. Sorta had me worried, but it's still received really positive scores (8 from Pitchfork for example). Comes out next week. Stream is here:

Stream Menomena’s new album ‘Moms’

I'm just glad you didn't use -core or -wave anywhere in that description.

Thanks for the link, Scumbo. I'm pretty sure I knew Menomena had an album coming out this year, but it had totally slipped my mind. I really liked their last one, especially TAOS.

Oddly enough, this is one band I would describe as "rock."

 

[iron yuppie]

Guys, definitely participate in this shit. It could be a fucking great time if everyone is involved.

The Interference Thread Survivor - Preliminary Nostalgia

I'll be stunned if Shuttlecock doesn't make the cut. Laz will uh stuff the box, if he has to.

Where is this Pop survivor thread that Axver keeps referencing?

Ima create a genre called "wave-core" to piss you off, and then immediately create a genre called "post-wave-core". Deal with it.

Have you listened to the one before it, Friend and Foe? It's really good too. I like both of those 2 albums quite a bit.

60% of the way through the stream of the new one, liking it quite a bit so far. Pretty much just as consistent as the last two. Glad to hear their still this good after losing 1/3 of the band. Pre-ordered it on Amazon this morning. Looking forward to Tuesday, will be a great day for new albums.

This is the first track from the album above, one of my favorite songs of the band. Anyways, here's a nice live version:

Menomena - Muscle'n Flo - YouTube

Yes, I quoted myself. Deal with it.

I wrote these guys down for my next Fingerprints run.

Or make up derivatives that give you no sense of what the music sounds like.

Just heard the Black Key$ on a Lee Jeans commercial, adding yet another brand to their repertoire.

Where is this Pop survivor thread that Axver keeps referencing?

My phone is hella myopic and won't search beyond two years ago, but I know it happened in February 2008. Started up the Superthread. This is why people want to do another survivor; the older ones were great chat threads.

The Lumineers. Thoughts?

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Only know the one song by them, that "Ho Hey" one.

But I like it.

 

[bono_212]

The Lumineers. Thoughts?

Love "Ho Hey". The rest of the album was pleasant, but not great.

Ho Hey.

Ho Hey.

I believe the correct Sioux greeting is "How".

You'd think Lance's mom had walked in the room.

I snickered in a room full of strangers

I seem to remember someone in here, maybe Laz, promoting Tricky a while ago. I found Maxinquaye for $2 and am looking forward to hearing it.

 

[bono_212]

Am I crazy, or is this new Pink song incredibly similar in structure to "We Don't Want Your Body" by Stars?

P!nk - Blow Me (One Last Kiss) - YouTube

You're gonna wanna fast forward to :43 through to the end of the chorus.

The Stars song:

Stars - We Don't Want Your Body - YouTube

Your post seems to have broken the thread, as any Pink video should.

Maxinquaye is so, so good. I'd say you might wanna wait for nightfall to give it a spin, though. Hope you enjoy it, iYup.

Damn you


OK, can someone please tell me what song is at :14? It's driving me nuts:
Mega Power Ballads - As Seen on TV - YouTube

I love Maxinquaye.

But I slightly prefer its follow-up, Pre-Millennium Tension. A much darker, abrasive album but it was like nothing I'd ever heard before.
