Great album. I didn't know he had it in him.

No one ever answered my question in the other thread whether this guy is the son of Mike Flowers, but I guess he's not?
― Tuomas, Monday, 25 January 2016 15:14 (eight years ago) link
he's the cousin of Tim Flowers, Tuomas

Tuomas you've single-handedly justified this album's placement.

Some good songs on this record, but I didn't think the one that made the tracks poll was one of them.

some sort of metaphor whereby ILM, music, the EOY poll and Kitchen Person are played by Collymore, Flowers, the ball and the divot, but I'm not sure in which order

I think people are upset that an artist might purposefully fashion the production to sound cassette-ish as a gimmick.

Forks, what time are you planning on starting the proper rollout?

Perhaps. Also, I lived through the cassette era. I owned several hundred of them. It's a terrible format. To see it fetishized is on par with people talking about how fun it is to suck mashed potatoes through a straw.

that project pablo release is available on 12" too and it sounds great.

there's a song on this record that wholesale samples "smalltown boy" how could i not love it

i am actually just getting around to transferring a number of my old cassette mixes to spotify playlists right now (#pvmic); it's a great way to rediscover old songs and evocative sequencing. there's a specific way i like to hear King Pleasure into Eddie Jefferson that brings me back to junior high

hadn't heard the flowers album before. assumed it would sound a lot like a killers album but it has that gaslight anthem / working class rock sound

I tend to be wary of cassettes, because they often combine two tendencies that I hate in music production: senseless lo-fi aesthetic (how is releasing your music on a format that objectively has worse sound reproduction capability than CD/vinyl/digi a good thing?) and indulgent retro fetishism/obscurantism.
― Tuomas, Monday, 25 January 2016 15:29 (eight years ago) link
I remember being down with the opening track on this Dick Diver album and then not liking any of the rest of it.

project pablo record is fun, track 2 is my favorite
enjoying the lex vs. canada narrative that's developing in these threads

Not nuts about project pablo, but i did enjoy the cfcf and keita sano records on the same label
Made it 4 songs into Kurt vile, he sounds almost as bored as I felt

You realize I'm not taking any sort of position right? Was only speculating. Thought I was being pretty careful, too.

not saying you should always judge a band on their bandname but
the project pablo stands out to me because out of a lot of stuff cut from similar cloth on 1080p and mood hut, much of which is screamingly white, it is definitely more relentless with the hooks.
