It's in my copyediting textbook, Page ? Frequently misused foreign words. 

It's chaise longue. 

Not making the part up about my textbook. 

I seriously never knew that and now I've come across it twice in two months after messing it up for ten-plus years.

LOL. There's no need, even though I know you're joking.

On a serious note, I'll take your word about that and roll with it. I'm not going to come in guns blazing and all self-assured because I read it somewhere in some book. Usage is both descriptive and prescriptive. So it's perfectly proper to assert that in certain situations the word usage is correct and acceptable. 

That's my two cents, anyway. Thanks for the heads-up on that.

Listening to the radio, and hear the first few notes of a familiar song. Excited to hear about a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand and howl along like a madman, only to hear Kidrock singing about being a backwoods hick in the south.

Is it just me, or are these two songs very similar at the beginning?

Panic Shack came out with Who's Got my Lighter a couple years ago which I loved at the time... but they've finally just released an album/ep that includes it. if the rest hold up to it, will be on of my faves.

they put out a few of those as singles last year.  pretty good, though nothing is as good as that first one IMO.  The Ick is pretty good.  and jiu-jits you probably second best.

I want to get back to this....I'm really digging it all the through. Thanks again.

Somebody whose brain is currently fried from an insane client....who do they sound like?

Well, the first single has a little Franz Ferdinand, but it's just the chorus, nothing else on album sounds like that.

I read a piece where they were listing Lou Reed and David Byrne as influences. 

I've only listened twice thus far

"Ever Changing" sounds a lot like Hockey Night, who played those sort of angular guitar interludes often. I liked "Reno," which was indeed a slowed-down Franz sounding song. 

This is enough to give the album a fair shot, IMO. It's pretty darn good, and I'm not grabbed by much post-punk or indie rock these days. It's usually got to be quite good for me to want to listen. 

 
Has anyone noticed that the truly innovative sounds are coming out of hip hop, really? Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth pointed that out recently, and he wasn't playing lip service to hip hop to sound cool or shed whiteness. He was really interested in some of the innovations and experimentation hip hop was doing with its instrumentation and beats. He said people aren't playing guitar that much anymore (that was the context of the question) and he agreed, but said that hip hop was really where the younger generation was getting far out with their musicality. 

Just an interesting thought. It seems hip hop and trap hold my attention more these days than does guitar rock. Perhaps there was nowhere for guitar rock left to go, really. Other than the technical proficiency aspect of the instrument, everything has been done already by the boomers and the punks and their proteges, really.

new Pkew Pkew Pkew leading off my release radar this week... that is the second new song from them in a month - I hope that means an album is coming!

Just so it does not sound like I am bragging, I also have a song from the Arabic Encanto soundtrack for, like, the 11th week in a row.

I've never watched it all the way through and knew what the movie was without any aid. Then I looked and saw it was indeed that. My old girlfriend saw that in her twenties and said it reminded her of me and my roommate. Not exactly a good thing. I couldn't make it through the first scenes because they were too painful. 

Oh well. I thought it was going to be Bugs.

I got a little Palma Violets vibe from them. 

 
3rd Secret -- I Choose Me

https://youtu.be/xj7ZM6V64yI

Alternative rock supergroup formed in part by Krist Novoselic of Nirvana, Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, and Matt Cameron of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.

Sounds like early 1970's Black Sabbath with a female singer instead of Ozzy.

I don't pay much attention to pop but listened to Olivia Rodrigo based on half hour of watching the Grammys.  Sour is pretty good album I got to say.

I like her sound, but I hope she can broaden her lyrics beyond "my former SO sucks" and "my curent SO sucks" which is what I'm getting from the youtube mix so far.

 
I think I mentioned running into an old parent friend who has been a pro drummer since was a kid. He mentioned his old band had gotten back together during COVID and had been having fun making covers together, incorporating the original artists a lot.

Didn't realize he was a full decade older than me- looks younger, the jerk. Anyways, I followed his band on Spotify after that- and since there's not enough Turkish EDM and live Dead Can Dance out there to fill up my playlists, its been putting The Flashcubes in there as well. They have a late 70s Joe Jackson, Marshall Crenshaw vibe...and I'm surprised I'm liking it more than not.

What are your thoughts? BoyScout

I like them.

I hear your comps but the first song I listened to was Christi Girl and immediately heard Big Star and Doleful Lions--both great bands.  I'll give the rest of their catalog a listen.  

 
The new albums by Destroyer and Midlake are two of my favorites from this year.

Both will undoubtedly make my top 20 for NV's 2022 countdown..........

 
I guess I need to relisten to Wet Leg's album. no cranks turned on the first couple passes, outside of the already released singles.

meanwhile... new King Gizzard... seriously- god bless these guys. this track (keppler-22b) is almost sounding like ThunderCat in terms of psychedelia jazzy r&b rhythms. every time out is something interesting- not always my wheelhouse (I actually really like this one)- but I love them for going for it each and evrey time.

Fontaines DC- roman holiday, a little downbeat... but they're pretty universally good with everything they do. love the cadence of his vocals on this one.

this week's RR is still up to the usual oof. 

I've been listening to Aussie surf/garage/punk playlists in an effort to reboot the algorithms. at least my daily playlists are starting to get back on track. RR and DW, not yet.

That song was first up on my RR this week... I was not real anxious to check out the album until I heard it, now my curiosity is piqued. 

and in RR OMG news... Otoboke Beaver is back on my RR for the first time in forever, and the new single ab-so-lute-ly slaps!  

oops... I fubared that link  https://youtu.be/GlwEEW6p1pE

Pusha T's It's Almost Dry is all killer, no filler. Run time is a svelte 36 minutes and includes 12 songs, half of them produced by Pharrell and the other half by Kanye West.

Kanye with some College Dropout vibes to his beats ("Rock N Roll"), while Pharrell harkening back to his Neptunes glory years ("Let the Smoker Shine the Coupes"). While there's that nosetalgic (see what I did there?) tint to it, it all sounds fresh in 2022. 

I think this is Pusha T's best album yet and this is likely my AOTY.

 
at this point, Spotify is just ####### with me. 

Cal Ripken style, in my Release Radar every week since it's release:

Live From Auditori Forum, Barcelona, Spain. March 22nd, 2005, an Album by Dead Can Dance. Released 19 November 2021

other RR that looks hopeful:

Jamie T

Together Pangea...

and that's about it. just trotting out the same #### it does every week (but no Turkish EDM!) 

 
The new Bloc Party album Alpha Games is a return to the intertwined guitar lines and frantic rhythms of their early stuff.  Your mileage may vary depending on what you think of Kele's singing but at least he has a very recognizable voice. 

Traps

 
I saw Kiwi Jr last night and their upcoming single is their best song yet. It hasn't been released yet as far as I can tell, so this doesn't really help but it's called "Night Visions" and it absolutely rocks. They will be releasing a new album this summer as well.
