My RR sucked today. Nothing playlisted or interesting.

I wanted to drop my phone in acid to rid it from that Have A Cigar abomination by Foo Fighters.

Lol.. I like the Foo fighters fine, but that was truly awful

LOL I like that cover (assuming it's the T Hawkins and not Brian May version)

The pink Floyd tune?

The pink Floyd tune?

Yeah I always thought it was a pretty dope cover   to each his own.  They're releasing all sorts of old #### to stream, hoping they toss Baker Street out there

 

[JZilla]

They did two versions of Have A Cigar,  this one with Taylor Hawkins on vox and they also did it with Brian May and that was, to me, painful.  

I like this one though, and I don't think it's exactly an un-####-withable tune 

This was all late nineties I guess?  I mostly have enjoyed Foo covers

 

[JZilla]

OK AWOLNATION just covered "Drive", and it's way worse than FF

I like Aaron Bruno but he has some trouble making sad songs sound sad

 

[JZilla]

Last coversy thing from me for now, Trampled By Turtles' new EP Sigourney Fever is solid, especially "Our Town" which I had never heard before

 

[Eephus]

The Who released a new album.

Word is they were pimping it on NFL Network this morning

Gonna go ahead and say no thanks

It's not terrible   I think it's pretty much on par with their other post-Moon albums.  Daltrey's voice sounds great and Townshend knows what goes into a Who song.  There are only a couple of clunkers among the 14 songs over a 57 minute running time.

They've only released two studio albums in the last 37 years so Pete and Rog will be in their 90s when the spirit moves them again.  If this is their swansong, they're going out in decent form.

Detour takes the opening of My Generation and the rhythm of Magic Bus and adds a synth bridge from Empty Glass era Townshend.  It comes together better than you'd think.

New album from Duster bringing me down on a dreary Friday

First album in about a decade.

I'll give it another spin, but really disappointed at first listen.

Eta...I don't remember which one, but one of theirs is one of my favorite albums this century. So expectations were pretty high for this new one.

Way late on this but I’m a fan. Some nice guitaring. Riyl Devo, Talking Heads, Ought, Clinic.

There's a postpunk subset of bands like this now, jangly/rhythmically jerky, guitar and bass driven with off kilter harmonies... Omni, Bodega, uranium club, and I'm spacing on a few others... I like them all

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

I also listened to Cereal Killer today and thought it was good. Riyl the Golden Pelicans.

UPDATE: my 2020 jList officially has one song on it now

 

[Northern Voice]

Haven't seen @kupcho1 around much lately. See if he pops in to start a 2020 thread. 

Album poll will be a go after the Eephus desert island draft.
