I can't wait for the new Kanye album. Call me weird.
Action Bronson x Harry Fraud EP came out this week, I was kind of underwhelmed to be honest.

Parquet Courts' Light Up Gold is great and only about half as good as watching them live.
The Cell Phones' Get You Alone is OMG crazy great and only about half as good as watching them live. "Heavy Flow" and "West Coast" are singles up there with "Sonic Reducer" and "Doris". Best newish band I've heard in a while. Can't wait to see them play later this month.

2013 - Careful fear and dead devotion

I like the new Portugal. The Man but In The Mountain In The Cloud was my favorite album of 2011 and after at least a handful of listens I just cant say Evil Friends is as strong. After going back to American Ghetto and The Satanic Satanist, Evil Friends has a good chance to be my 2nd favorite of theirs. ITMTCloud is just a masterpiece to me. I think the biggest thing to me is Evil Friends starts out slow. I like Plastic Soldiers but not as an opener, Creep In A T-Shirt is one my least favorite on the album, and the title track doesnt grab me as much as most of the rest of the album either. It really hits its stride at Modern Jesus and takes off from there to me at this point, but that may change in due time.
New QOTSA is good but I gotta give it more listens.
Also an album I havent seen mentioned in here is Houndmouth's debut From the Hills Below the City. I like it, but they just strike me as a poor man's Felice Brothers and I have a little trouble buying into them.

I was pretty impressed by what Rick Rubin was able to do with those wash-ups Metallica, but he's outdone himself here.

Listening to samples of Jason Isbell - Southeastern right now, and boy is it really solid. Definitely going to buy it. Wow.
Run It Up

Yeah, he did a good job. I've heard complaints that he put Ozzy too up front in the mix, but the fact that he doesn't sound like he has a mouth full of marbles is amazing. For me, Iommi makes this album. Just great guitar work by him. He shreds throughout, but Damaged Soul is inspired. Great song.JZilla said:

new Charles Bradley doesn't quite measure up to his previous one, unfortunately. Was really looking forward to it too...

I totally agree on QOTSA, just a boring album. However,Charles Bradley album is real nice. It isn't a genre I always listen to, but he nailed it IMO.
Completely agree with what you said about the beginning of Evil Friends. I usually skip over Plastic Soldiers. Everything from Modern Jesus and on is pretty top notch though. I had the same experience with The National's new album as well. First two tracks didn't really hook me but I absolutely love everything else starting with Don't Swallow The Cap.

For fans of progressive rock, Spock's Beard new CD, Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep, is really good, and they even did a video for Submerged:

If that song were by a name band, that song could be really popular.

Thanks for posting. I haven't heard much of SB since 'Snow'. I'll have to check out the new CD.

Id highly recommend starting with Here's To Taking It Easy because it is the most similar to Muchacho and arguably his best, but I also love Pride.

I've been picking through some of the new Mac Miller this week. Not sure if I'm there with him yet, but he's an interesting cat.
New Arctic Monkeys single out. I'm a huge fan of these guys. Flame away if you must.

So between Foxygen or Avett Brothers, who should I go see at Firefly tomorrow? I probably can't see both since they are playing at the same time.

Listened to both of these today. I thought the Kanye album was awful, I cut myself off before the last song or 2 it was so bad.
I think the Mac Miller album is phenomenal, listened twice today. Ive only heard a handful of his songs previously, but it seems to me like he took the next step with this album. Its hard to not think of Kendrick Lamar or Frank Ocean's albums from last year, when listening to Watching Movies WIth the Sound Off. Popular rap has left me cold for about a decade, but maybe with these youngin's its making a comeback, with good music.

I'm going to give it a second listen now. I just couldn't get past the fact it was Mac Miller the first time.

I usually like listening to the College Rock station on DirecTV (sonictap) but I'll inevitably hear a song and then later can't remember what it was. Pisses me off. Anyway, I"m open to suggestions on internet radio I can stream to a smartphone that I can see the last dozen or so songs that played. Don't like Pandora and haven't found a Spotify radio station like SonicTap's College Rock or Sirius XMU.

Jason Isbell's new album Southeastern is great. I never really checked out his solo stuff, I guess mostly because I could never get into the Drive By Truckers, but Ive listened to this album almost 10 times this week. Probably a little slow for some of you, too country-ish, but worth checking out at least.

KP - have you listened to "A Blessing and a Curse" by the DBT's? It's the one Isbell was the biggest part of and my favourite of theirs as a result.

I probably havent. I was considering going to a festival in May, and DBTs were playing it so I started checking them out again, starting with their oldest albums. I dont think I made it to that album, but I'll give it a listen.
Have you listened to this new Isbell album yet?
Apple Jack
Footballguy
Crazy talk.
Have you ever heard Decoration Day? The Dirty South? His songs on ABAAC are terrible, imo. They sink the record, making it their worst by a large margin. And I'm a big fan. I've gotten drunk with Jason a few times and attended the wedding of his 400 Unit guitar player. Big fan. But those songs are painful and stick out like sore thumbs next to Space City, Feb 14th and Wednesday.

I wont get into a DBT's dispute, but have you listened to Isbell's new one, Apple Jack?
Apple Jack
Footballguy
Yeah, I like it a lot. Live Oak is one of my favorites he's written. Tried to listen to the NPR interview last week, but his wife wouldn't let him talk and I ended up shutting it off. He seems to be happy. Which is obviously great.
The biggest thing that I think Pat and Cooley have much more than Jason that I like is that they write about real life events and craft songs out of these stories that immediately stand up and resonate. It's like there is no buffer there between them, the listener, and the story. Jason so often has written about things he's imagined up and/or is bending over backwards to make a pop song out of. He's much more vulnerable to cliche. Like I can hear the effort. Less so lately. But Cooley and Patterson write eternally great stuff like they're falling off a log. It sounds so effortless, timeless and relevant. Natural. They also have better songs. Lots more better songs.

For me its their best since rated R. Always interesting how subjective music is.
Kenny Powers
Footballguy
After more listens, I like it but I dunno. Rated R is my favorite of theirs. I think the new one starts out strong, but after track 3 fades a bit, and picks up at the end. At this point, Id say I prefer the Them Crooked Vultures album.
