Remind anybody else of Jim Carroll?

Agreed - This is a really good album. Not quite on par with "Midnight Organ Fight", but aside from that, as good as anything FR has done.

Listening to the new A$AP Rocky album. Lots of stuff here that I like, some that I don't. Good for a few listens."1 Train" has a pretty crazy lineup.

Pretty hard to believe he did it, but Kevin Shields made a record on par with You Made Me Realise, Isn't Anything, and Loveless. It's ####### awesome.

Whoa, blast from the past. For something released in January 2013, it holds up pretty well.

Thanks for the link, downloaded it earlier
Ive been aware of them for awhile, but never really followed up to give their albums a proper listen. When I heard their Im A King Bee cover on that liquor commercial (Jack Daniels' Honey?), I tracked down what band is was. Gave all their albums including the new one a listen today, right in my wheelhouse. I think their S/T debut is my favorite, but all 3 are good. The new one Small Fires definitely has a more expansive sound. The single, Everybody Knows, sounds like quintessential pre-Beggar's Banquet Rolling Stones. Good tune!

Dont know anything about this, but Auerbach said years ago they wanted to be as popular as possible, playing arenas, so good music was back as popular music and in the forefront. Now I definitely hear their music in more commercials and such than I care for (although I know they sued Pizza Hut and some other franchise for using their music illegally/without consent), and while I prefer their earlier albums, the music hasnt suffered in their rise to fame so I cant rip on them too much.

So ideologically, how are they any different from Bieber? If someone wants their music in car commercials that's fine, but there's more than a faint whiff of hypocrisy here.
Kenny Powers
Footballguy
Ideologically, probably not much. My point was theyre huge but theyre actually still making good music unlike Bieber and 97% of popular music. Call them sellouts if you want, but the music wasnt sacrificed to get to where they are.

They're getting rich and famous by writing and creating good music where Bieber is getting rich and famous for having an army of others writing and creating bad music for him and then just being a cute kid who can dance?And yes, they have "sold-out", but that doesn't mean what it used to. I think Ian MacKaye is probably the lone man standing who wont budge with having somebody PAY HIM to get his music heard to a broader audience.

Patsy Cline didn't write or arrange a lot of the songs that she sang. Is she a sellout too?
Apple Jack
Footballguy
You asked how they are ideologically different. I answered you. I'm not getting into a ninth grade argument over who is a sellout and why. I know Dan and took exception to the idea that he has done anything to take away from the quality or integrity of his music. You won't meet anybody as dedicated as he is to doing things the right way. After the music is done, if people want to give him money to spread it around, he's happy to take it.

Seems to me that he has done a considerable amount more when it comes to making money than sit back passively and accept what's given to him, not that there's anything nothing wrong with that, imo.

I don't care who is a "sell out" and who isn't. I listen to plenty of music that's used in commercials and such. I love the Ramones, and they made a lot of ####ty records as an attempt to get on the radio. But you're saying one makes good music and one makes crummy music, which is completely subjective. Even someone as snooty as yourself has to realize this on some level. Similarly, I'm sure that you also realize that a team of producers can make a song that's superior to a song that some guy just makes alone in his bedroom.
"Excuse me sir, you dropped something."
I never said anything of the sort. I only pointed out the hypocrisy of him saying that Justin Bieber cares about money, and he cares about music. They're both professional musicians. They both make music that is -- to varying degrees -- commercially accessible. They both allow their music to be used by gigantic corporations to sell their products, in exchange for money. I don't have a problem with any of these things, but again, they're fundamentally the same.

The Black Keys made nice, radio-friendly music that's actually good. I don't understand the Bieber comparison.

I work with a guy named Dan. Might not be the same guy, though.

Still no talk of the MBV record? The last three tracks are easily the best stretch of music I've heard so far this year.

I have heard it's outstanding, but it isn't on Spotify yet.

I'll check it. Sounds rad.

Leaked. Sounds very strong.I think I mentioned it in other threads. They moved the release back from Sept to Jan to Feb 26, but they increased from 10 songs to 14. They also came up with a much better cover for the record. I've heard about half the songs live and it is may be their finest work ever. Paul Deakin described it to me as similar to Trampoline, which is their best album in my opinion.

I am enjoying Toro Y Moi's new one, but I'm not sure how well it stands up against Causers of This and Underneath the Pine. Almost seems less chillwave electronic and more funk. I was always bound to like this cause he's one of my favorites of the past 3-4 years...so this is #1 on my list so far, but I doubt it holds up.

A couple of the other songs are a little too "sleepy" but those two songs and a few others I really like a lot.
