Why are your top few albums of this first quarter?
Click to expand...
Yard Act, Gang of Youths, Spoon, PUP

Tears for Fears, Wombats, Big Thief, Mitski, Pinegrove, Melt Yourself Down all in the conversation as well.  I'm way more into albums this year than the past couple for whatever reason. Maybe everyone delayed theirs for when they could actually tour behind them.

Forever Unclean - Best

Nobro - Live Your Truth Shred Some Gnar

Escape From The Zoo - Countin' Cards

And I am counting Wet Leg because I love every single they have released so far....

 
My sister-in-law turned me onto this song a couple weekends ago.  Enjoyed it enough to give the album a listen.

COIN - Chapstick

I still think this is the best song off the album, but it's a consistently enjoyable listen from start to finish.  Great collection of tunes.  I recommend.

Really enjoying Big Thief and Gangs of Youth picks - thanks!

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. 

 
You know what you're getting with a new Ryan Adams album but Chris is his hardest rockin' record since the Cardinals.  He can still write a song and there are eighteen of them here.

Aching For More

 
Stumbled across Bad Boy Chiller Crew's Disrespectful.  And by stumbled I mean I didn't find them through Release Radar or Discover Weekly :D   They're from Bradford in the north of England (famous for ... well nothing I can think of; not too far from Leeds).  

Don't You Worry About Me is particularly ear-wormy.

Bradford boys still winning
Out here chilling

I just heard Western Civilization collapsing a tad more than it had before (and that's tough).

yeah. I'm all for our brit marble mouffed grime/hip-hop tangents... but this was a hard pass.

 
listening to last week's RR again.

Dead Can Dance live

Bela Bartok violin concerto (been on regular weekly rotation for Spotify... even though I don't think I've ever once actively listened to Barkok on Spotify)

Demi Lovato

Turkish EDM/Hip-hop

Flashcubes (parent friend of mine was a drummer in this band from the 70s/80s...he kept working as a drummer- but I just ran into him and so started following the band, which has been releasing covers- needless to say, Spotify wants me to listen to all Flashcubes all the time... at least when it's not DCD and Turkey).

but fun Norwegian post band, Spielbergs have a new single... nothing. freaking Google alerted me to it. 

 
I've been listening to my Spotify catch-all playlist, just to try to jump-start it's algorithms back to something not Dead Can Dance and Turkish EDM.

one band has jumped out in a nice way... Scott & Charlene's Wedding. hopefully it gives me more stuff like them.

 
If I'm being honest...#### Spotify.

RR...

Turkish EDM & Dead can Dance.

But...a great cover/overdub of Rock the Casbah by Ranking Roger...which has to be at least 2 or 3 years old, unless Roger is ranking from beyond the grave.

 
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?

 
All in on Apple music now, though if I do things for other people like the metal thread I can still get into Spotify

Kind of miss release radar but it was also kind of ridiculous.  I have too many playlists and just because I have Philadelphia Freedom on a thing doesn't mean I need new Elton John every week of my life .  Every now and then I'll take a peak.  Mostly useful for new #### by hair metal burnouts :lol:  

Twitter does me much better for new music.  I haven't gotten into that much lately, I've been in an extended old stuff phase, but I like these two and there was something else I wanted to check out today.......

oh, Mr Tillman maybe later

I'll be honest again, guys. Not really loving the Wet Leg release. Chaise Long and a couple others that were already released are great... but the rest feels pretty meh for me.

 
As long as we're into confessionals, I'm not feeling the new PUP. I liked it better when he wasn't Craig Finn and was singing about reservoirs. That was cool.

A couple of new albums I liked

Reeling by The Mysterines. They're a four-piece from Liverpool with a sound that's more Garage and Classic Rock influenced than the typical UK Post-Post-Punk shouters.

Hung Up

The Jacket by Widowspeak.  Nice rootsy Dream Pop with a singer who reminds me of Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star.

Digging the Mysterines. Ran into them a few days ago.

Nope. I haven't given PUP a huge thumbs up since their second or third, I believe. I liked their first the best and thought each subsequent was a step backward somehow. 

*shrugs* I'd still be stoked to see them, though, for some reason. 

 
And I was just listening to "Reservoir" the other day. The video version, not the album or KEXP version, all of which are awesome. The video version is just mixed a bit differently for some reason. Good stuff. 

 
Wild EP by Spoon on my Release Radar (so there!). The two "other versions," the "Jack Wild" and the "Trashy Wild" are so much more compelling than the original, especially the Trashy version. I haven't had a chance to check the remix that is Track Four, but no doubt if the rest of the album had alternate takes like these, I could seriously see loving the album. In fact, I'm going to have to listen to it again just to make sure I haven't missed the boat entirely...

Dudes, a more serious post. 

Soul Glo, a hip hop/hardcore group just signed to Epitaph, just cut this with Mother Maryrose: 

Driponomics

Finally getting a chance to listen to this in full. It probably doesn't hit the demographic here, but this is sort of an explosive album. I know I'm too old for it, really, but it's well done. Diaspora Problems is a fine album. Weird rap/guitar hardcore. Interesting.

ooh, I've been waiting for that one! New Mondo Cozmo album is a fun listen from last week too.

Damn, I was so stoked for Oceanator... that is just not the album I was expecting I guess. Maybe I was expecting the whole thing to sound like Bad Brain Days. 

I'm still all in on Wet Leg... but there is only 1 song I like more than most of the previously released half dozen

Mondo Cozmo though... that one may be my favorite of the 3 released on friday.  The first two songs flat out slap, and set a great vibe for the album.

 
Digging the Oceanator myself, I don't mind the chaotic, heavy vibe but it is definitely there

Saw Spoon last night, 9:30 Club, great show, always love big band energy at a smaller place and it was good to be back out there.  Could be the vibe is improving out in public.  Margaret Glaspy was a fun opener, killer voice in a tight three piece act, put that energy on tape and you're onto something gf

 
anybody else listening to Kae Tempest's just released latest?

I'm figuring eephus is.

I'm a fan, but not immediately loving the music (backing music) on this one, which sounds like it was done at home on a casio as an afterthought to getting her poetry in song form.

her older stuff feels more vibey with the music.

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 were on my release radar earlier this year...pretty sure I added them to my jList.  I will have to heck out the EP. 

 
I never knew it was Chaise Longue. Just like NV. I think it was a chaise lounge. I've read it wrong all these years. Hah.

pretty sure this is a french/brit vs US thing.

I have to actually draw and spec "chaise longues", but I always spell it "lounge".

 
it's like banquette. spelled the same in all parts, but the brits and french say "bonk-kette" instead of "bank-kette". morons.

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.

Other embarrassing ones. 

"Vale of tears" is the proper expression instead of "veil of tears." "Vale" meaning "valley". 
Oh, and it is "Hear! Hear!" not "here! here!" Learned that, too.
