Too bad about the DJ. I feel like it's tied to the Spotify algorithms... So if there's a set of stuff I don't like, I'll skip past it and I think it remembers.I can't stand April fools on the internetAnybody using the DJ feature on Spotify, with AI DJ "X" who sounds a lot like Ice T?
I've enjoyed it. Just hit me with a song about his heartfelt appreciation for being my DJ... And April fools yodel.
P.S. more often than not the DJ is a miss for me.
Sounded like MGMT made a Jesus & Mary Chain albumI listened to it a couple of times at work but wasn't able to really pay attention. A couple of songs made me perk up for a second but no "oh damn" moments. I'll give it another spin this week, I'm sure. How about you?
Thoughts on the album?The Vampire Weekend singles are excellent, IMO. They're back to the baroque pop sound of Modern Vampires of the City rather than the jammy nature of Father Of The Bride. Thanks @Nugget for alerting and posting.
Thoughts on the album?
After a couple listens, I think it’s pretty great.
As great as MVotC? Not sure yet but probably not.
Definitely better than Contra and FotB.
The debut will always hold a special place in my heart but this new album is right there in a different way.
Very solid and likely will grow on me.
I agree with this message.Very solid
Spotify has had them in my rotation since that first single dropped. Good stuff.I’m excited for the debut album This Could Be Texas by English Teacher that drops tomorrow. It’s getting excellent reviews (96 on Metacritic right now).
It’s modern English post-punk (which has strayed quite a bit from the post-punk of yore) with a female lead vocalist. If that’s something you’re open to, I encourage you to give them a few listens. They have been working on this album for a while and a handful of songs have been released over the last year. I think they are all excellent. Here are some samples including a live, studio version of one of the songs.

Posted this is in the concerts thread...
Just dropped my daughter off at her acting studio, which is around the corner from Irving Plaza- a good midsize NYC spot for midsize bands and occasional "popups" for big bands.
There was a line of white people not just around the big NYC block, but around another even bigger NYC block. Thousands of white folk- way more than could fit into the venue. Largest NYC congregation of whiteys since Lord of the Dance rolled through.
Have any of you heard of Maggie Rogers?
Big fan of it too. The first time that I heard “Mary Boone” I had to rewind to listen to it again before going on to the next song in the album. Maybe my new favorite song of theirs.Big thumbs up to the new Vampire Weekend. I finally got around to it today and after one listen, I can already tell it’s an album I am going to come back to over and over.
I got this yesterday too... Has the feel of when Arcade Fire went more dancey.New Fontaines D.C. song is out. New album in August.

Really liked thisI don't really frequent these music threads, but just came across this band and just thought I'd drop it in here. I just saw someone I grew up with is their sound guy and decided to take a listen and they seem to have a decent following.
They're kind of an island indie/reggae pop band. -- The Hip Abduction
Here's one song, for example Pacific Coast Highway

And even more confusing... The right The Men have a new single out on my RR.Spotify told me there was a new The Men album... Which is weird because they just. Put one out a few months back. But whatever... Cool!
This is not The Men you are looking for.
They've been pretty busy the last few years... Regulars on my RR with new tracks, along with GBV and GRMLNA Certain Ratio just dropped a new album
